Kick Ass - the Soundtrack review


I like the movie (esp. Hit-Girl), it's kinda obvious from the previous post. It's gonna be a short review about the soundtrack. Here's the list of the soundtrack:
  1. I’m Kick-Ass
  2. Stand Up – The Prodigy
  3. Kick Ass – Mika Vs Redone
  4. I Never Said Batman
  5. Can’t Go Back – Primal Scream
  6. There’s A Pot Brewin’ – The Little Ones
  7. Bring It On!
  8. Omen – The Prodigy
  9. Butterfly Knife
  10. Make Me Wanna Die – The Pretty Reckless
  11. Mayor’s Office
  12. Banana Splits – The Dickies
  13. Starry Eyed – Ellie Goulding
  14. This Town Ain’t Big Enough For Both Of Us – Sparks
  15. Who Would Win In A Fight…?
  16. We’re All In Love – New York Dolls
  17. Bongo Song – Zongamin
  18. I Never Play
  19. Per Qualche Dollaro In Piu (For A Few Dollars More) – Ennio Morricone
  20. No Power, No Responsibility
  21. Bad Reputation – The Hit Girls
  22. An American Trilogy – Elvis Presley
  23. Show’s Over…
The soundtrack really remind me of Guy Ritchie's movie soundtrack (ex. RocknRolla and Snatch) where you can find few memorable lines from the movie. For the songs itself, Prodigy's Omen and Stand Up are pretty cool (say it like Cartman says "cyul"). The Little Ones' There’s A Pot Brewin’ really reminds me of Sympathy for the Devil by the Rolling Stone (which means good). Banana Splits by the Dickies and Bad Reputation by the Hit Girl really make me go back to the cool scene with Hit Girl. What makes this soundtrack kicks ass is because they got the legendary Ennio Morricone's score from the classic movie For a Few Dollars More (you know it's classy when you got Morricone). However, there's always a flaw, there are two songs that I don't really like from this movie, Pretty Reckless' Make me Wanna Die and New York Doll's We're All in Love, but you can always skip it anyway. In conclusion this soundtrack is worth to buy/download.
