Number of Discs: 1 Like the movie itself, the Romeo + Juliet soundtrack is filled with emotional twists; from the hardness of Garbage's "#1 Crush" and the Butthole Surfers' "Whatever" to Stina Nordenstam's endearing, whispery "Little Star" the journey is all over the map. Within the CD-enhanced grooves, however, moments of absolute brilliance flow; Des'ree's "Kissing You (Love Theme from Romeo + Juliet)" is perhaps her strongest work to date, while Radiohead's "Talk Show Host" is a track that the group treasures and performs live often. Those two tracks alone make this soundtrack worth the purchase price. --Denise Sheppard |

Teen scream flicks like this one are back in vogue, though what's really horrifying here is Kula Shaker's pedestrian cover of Deep Purple's "Hush;" come in, lads, your 15 minutes is up. Elsewhere, Toad the Wet Sprocket show more teeth than usual in covering "Hey Bulldog," and Hooverphonic's brilliant "2Wicky" gets a last-gasp airing. The big news: Adam Cohen debuts with the darkly romantic "Don't Mean Anything," and there are promising hints that Leonard's son could be the real deal. --Jeff Bateman |

Our Lady Peace delivers a trippy "Tomorrow Never Knows," Heather Nova neuters Peter Gabriel's "I Have The Touch," and Juliana Hatfield can't locate the dark soul in Marianne Faithful's "Witches Song." Also notable are tracks by Jewel, Love Spit Love (covering The Smiths), and Matthew Sweet (with guest riffs by Lindsay Buckingham). --Jeff Bateman |

Cool covers by some major names--Cracker ("Shake Some Action"), Counting Crows ("The Ghost in You"), The Muffs ("Kids in America") and World Party ("All the Young Dudes")--capture the film's wild-in-the-malls. Beastie Boys, Coolio, Supergrass, and Jill Sobule also check in with strong material. --Jeff Bateman |

All praise aside, this is a rare case where the music fits the movie and vice versa. The soundtrack includes gems from Elastica, Weezer, and others peppered with hysterical dialogue from the movie. Cool alterna-tunes and snappy dialogue abound on 25 tracks. |

A Comedy About Love In The '90s, is Reality Bites' rather unsightly subtitle. A mix of highly original 90's songs come together to make a wonderful soundtrack to a great film. |

Tellingly, director Richard Linklatter's Dazed and Confused was released 20 years after American Grafitti and offers a similar story of troubled young personalities lurking beneath an oversaturated pop culture veneer. Like Lucas before him, Linklatter clearly relishes that gloss and wields it like an ironic chainsaw. His soundtrack is a raucous, authentic collection of mid-70's radio fare, be it sharp-edged pop (Sweet, the vastly underrated Rick Derringer), nascent metal (Black Sabbath, Deep Purple) and out-and-out hard cheese (Foghat, Black Oak Arkansas). Dazed and Confused is the real sound of 70's teenage America. --Jerry McCulley |
