A very musical review

Broadway Moshpit here, with a CD review thats a bit late but oh well shut your mouth you all get enough CD reviews with metalhead here. :)

LAWNMOWER DEATH:
DEAR GOD THERES SO MUCH BLOOD EVERYWHERE (VOLUME VII)
44 sweaty Metallica shirts out of 50...

KIDDING!
I'm kidding. This isn't a metal review (although Lawnmower Death IS a real band- look it up). No, this is a soundtrack review ladies and gents. Thought it be a nice change of pace. :)

Scott Pilgrim VS. The World (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack):
A masterpiece for hipsters, semi-enjoyable for everyone else.
69/100
For anyone who saw Scott Pilgrim VS. The World, you know it was a quirky, comedic movie, being enjoyable for all the indie kids out there, and numerous others. I liked it personally because of all the video game references, and the fact that the secondary lead character was hilariously homosexual. But enough of that. The soundtrack for the movie features quite a few artists, more noteably the bands Metric, T-Rex, The Rolling Stones, and Beck. The other bands on there I've never heard of. Ah well. That's hipster for you.
Moving on, the CD also features music from Sex Bo-Omb, Scott Pilgrim's band in the movie. The first song on the Album by the band, (We are Sex Bo-Omb), is actually pretty decent. The guitar and bass bring forward a crunchy, gritty sound not yet heard, and it's quite refreshing. The only problem is that same creative sound gets a little less created every time you hear a new song by Sex Bo-Omb... because all their songs pretty much sound the same.
The rest of the soundtrack is decently agreeable, and there are a few funny bits, like the 12 second song by 'Crash and the Boys' which is just them crying "SOOOOO SAD!", and an 8-bit sega remix of a Sex Bo-Omb song.
Overall, this soundtrack isn't anything to cry home about, but if you're a die hard hipster, wearing those neon clothes and listening to bands that don't exist yet, by all mean, go and by it, you'll probably love it. As for all the rest of you stereotypes, I'd recommend borrowing it from said hipster friend.
Top Tracks: We Are Sex Bo-Omb, Black Sheep, Threshold (8-Bit)

  1. It's "Lawnmower DETH". If you're gonna name a random obscure group to prove your extensive knowledge of music at least get the intentional misspelling right. :P

    Decent crossover thrash btw.
