Soundtrackin' - American Teen

Check out the nice lame 1970s-esque title for this new feature about soundtracks. Just marvel at it.

OK, I've decided to meld together film and music because, well, those are my two passions. Now, I have already done one of these soundtrack things, but in great detail and over on my film blog. That was on Tarantino's Jackie Brown, which is one of my favourite soundtracks ever.

This review will be focused on a film that sort of slipped under the radar over here. I saw it with a group of friends but I don't think a lot of people went to see it. Personally I loved the film, but what was even more imposing was when I got the soundtrack. The film was American Teen and its soundtrack, is well, perhaps better than the film itself.

Now, the reason I'm not going into insane detail as I did with Jackie Brown is because, well, this soundtrack wasn't all used in the film and a lot of it is just a compilation tape that has the fell of the film. And I have no problem with that, because this tracklist is awesome. It is a fun-filled extravaganza of pop, rock and rap.
