4.0 out of 5 stars
An excellent and unique soundtrack, 27 Aug 2004
Fight Club is one of those movies that when you watch for the first time, everything about is insightful, awe inspiring, fantastic, funny and just simply great. A film which still oozes substance despite it's release dating back 5 years ago, it still manages to beat the Lindsay Lohan and Hilary Duff rubbish on screen today. The soundtrack, like the movie, also is insightful, inspiring in it's own unique way.The Dust Brothers have created a unique album unlike anything I have heard before. Employing everything from guitars, to decks, to choir singing and cheesy sounds that wouldn't be heard outside of elevators. Each song's name refers to a character/event/feeling etc in the movie, so each name carries a certain feeling, emotion with it. If you've seen the movie you will recognise the music and where it was used at in the film. There's quite a varied selection of songs here. "Who is Tyler Durdan?" builds up to something that is a little reminiscent of Darth Vader gracing his minions with his prescence (or in this case, Tyler and his space monkeys). "Corporate World" is a combination of cheesy elevator music and those songs you hear in supermarkets that you'll never know the name of. While it is cheesy, it is also twisted which suggests that something is a foot. My favourite track of the bunch is "Jack's Smirking Revenge". The track begins off with a sense of realisation, and turns into a feeling of knowing what to do. In this case it would be Jack's revenge on his boss. The album is light on the ears, with the exception of "Chemical Burn" which half way through it, bursts into a grinding guitar riff which is more instantly recognised as the Fight Club theme, used at the beginning of the movie. Overall, the songs all hold a feeling of darkness with them in some way. I feel this is good as it holds true to the film, no rays of sunshine here, just dark, grim reality. If you are a fan of the movie Fight Club, there's not much doubt that you would not enjoy this music. Even if you haven't seen or heard about Fight Club, this soundtrack is still a great piece of music, and it might be just what you're looking for if you're trying to find something different.
