...so the movie wouldn't be half the movie it is without such a brilliant soundtrack. I mean seriously, it really it first class... BUT... one of the best tunes of the movie is missing off the soundtrack... "Gimme Shelter" by the Rolling Stones... its the song that opens the movie... its the best song in the film & they left it off the soundtrack? Why? It's the reason I can only give the soundtrack 3 stars instead of the 4 or 5 it deserves. A real shame.

Anyone who has seen the movie will know Scorcese has again picked a great compilation of songs to augment the images. I had never heard of the Dropkick Murphy's before I saw the film but I now have several of their albums and can recommend them to anyone who enjoys anarchic Irish/American rock.
I love the Van Morrison version of Comfortably Numb which is a shock because I've always hated Pink Floyd and Comfortably Numb in particular but VM's vocals make it sound like a good song.

Wonderfully captures the feel of the film
19 July 2007
Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
The Departed finally won Martin Scorsese the long overdue Oscar he has so very much deserved over the years. Like Goodfellas and Casino before it, The Departed utilized a soundtrack of previously available songs to set the mood and capture the feel of the film, and this soundtrack succeeds on just about all counts. The blistering live rendition of Pink Floyd's "Comfortably Numb" by Roger Waters, Van Morrison, and The Band starts the disc off, and is followed by classic tracks from the Beach Boys, the Rolling Stones, the Allman Brothers Band, and Patsy Cline. Sandwiched in between these older acts and the two score tracks contributed from composer Howard Shore, is the instantly catchy "I'm Shipping Up to Boston" from punk favorites the Dropkick Murphys, which you'll no doubt remember nodding your head to when watching the film. There may not be anything featured here that you haven't heard before or seen somewhere else, but the soundtrack for The Departed is a blast regardless and wonderfully captures the feel of the film. In those regards alone, the soundtrack, much like the film itself, is a pleasently wonderful treat.

missing song
6 Dec 2006
Format:Audio CD
The strongest song of the whole film, without a doubt, is the Rolling Stones' "Gimme Shelter". Of course, the soundtrack doesn't include it.
