"Poison Well"? There's abizarrely mixed NIN, eastern feel to this one that works until the pseudo rapkicks in. "Good Time" is an appropriately jaunty song, Leroy just wantsto be sure you're still hangin' in there. In different words, both songs feature their vocalist reaching out withlonging arms to the object of their desire. I will say this, though! The transitionbetween "Soon" and "I Wanna Get Back With You" is prettysmooth. And thatvisual pretty much ruins it for me. Which isn't bad in and of itself, but I just know itaccompanies some lovey-dovey part of the film that more than likely has somekind of slow dancing in it (I'm thinking of "How Do I Live WithoutYou" from Con Air). This is the kind of song a band would wantto open with at a show get everyone up and going.Īgain with the flow, the soundtrack goes from the above track to aLeAnn Rimes love song. It's difficult to go fromloud, pounding rock music to a sentimental, emotive track like"Burn" the downshift is terribly awkward (pun fully intended)."Green Light Girl", the third track is a very Jimi Hendrix, 1960'sget-your-body-moving type of track. Thevery next song is Jo Dee Messina's "Burn". It starts out with Tantric's"Breakdown", a heavy, guitar driven song (no pun intended) withraspy, graveled vocals that makes me think the songs to follow are going tokeep me in the foot-tapping mood that I'm currently in, but they don't. The Driven soundtrackdoesn't have any flow to it. It's a bit of asilly proposition anyway most artists don't have just one idea that they cansomehow interpret in 15 different ways and actually sell to a record company.On the flipside, it seems to me that a soundtrack should really be comprised ofmusic that reflects the film in 15 different ways (or however many songs theymanage to fit on one disc).
I would never suggest that any album, regular poprelease or soundtrack, should sound the same through each song.
