Product Description
Album Description
Original soundtrack to the 2011 motion picture featuring music from Bjork, Skunk Anansie, Emiliana Torrini, Emily Browning and Queen. An action fantasy set in the vivid imagination of a young girl whose dream world provides the ultimate escape from her darker reality. Unrestrained by the boundaries of time and place, she is free to go where her mind takes her, and her incredible adventures blur the lines between what's real and what is imaginary. She has been locked away against her will, but Babydoll (Emily Browning) has not lost her will to survive. Determined to fight for her freedom, she urges four other young girls -- the outspoken Rocket (Jena Malone), the street-smart Blondie (Vanessa Hudgens), the fiercely loyal Amber (Jamie Chung) and the reluctant Sweet Pea (Abbie Cornish) -- to band together and try to escape their terrible fate at the hands of their captors, Blue (Oscar Isaac), Madam Gorski (Carla Gugino) and the High Roller (Jon Hamm).

Some of them want to use you,
By E. A Solinas "ea_solinas" (MD USA) - See all my reviews (HALL OF FAME) (TOP 10 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Soundtrack (Audio CD)
The best thing you can say about any movie soundtrack is that the songs all mesh together -- even if they are from different artists.And from the look of the movie "Sucker Punch," it needs a butt-kicking soundtrack -- something girly yet tough and wild. So that is pretty much what you get in the soundtrack: one part rousing rock'n'roll, one part ethereal floating pop, and one part psychedelic wildness. It sounds like it shouldn't fit together at all, but it does. It opens on a grand note with Emily Browning's cover of "Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)," which begins as a soft pop anthem but quickly becomes tangled in dark twisting guitars and epic washes of electric violin. After that we get a strong serving of rock and pop music, with the lines between them blurred with fiery guitars and soaring epic melodies. There's the sizzling, yowling "Search and Destroy" by Skunk Anansie; the slow-swirling psychedelica of Yoav's "Where Is My Mind?"; the sensual jazzy "Love is the Drug" by Carla Gugino and Oscar Izaac; the wildly energetic, epic remix of Bjork's "Army of Me"; Alison Mosshart and Carl Azar's hauntingly expansive rock anthem "Tomorrow Never Knows"; and Emily Browning's bittersweet, violin-soaked lullaby "Asleep." The ultimate highlight: Emiliana Torrini's trippy, blazing cover of "White Rabbit," which basically sums up the whole concept of the movie. The only downside is "I Want It All/We Will Rock You," which is basically hip-hop artist Armageddon (formerly of the Terror Squad) rapping over Queen samples. It just... doesn't fit with the rest of the music. The "Sucker Punch" soundtrack is one of those soundtracks that you can enjoy independently of the movie. And even though most of the songs are from different artists (ranging from actress Emily Browning to Icelandic pop stars), they all have a unifying sound -- very gritty around the edges, with lots of fiery rock'n'roll, but also with softer ethereal edges. So expect lots of fiery electric guitars, psychedelic riffs, violins and blazing bass, usually woven into melodies that sound.... well, epic and action-packed. Some of the songs are pretty much instrumental, but the vocals are amazing as well -- Skunk Anansi's raw yowl, Torrini's chilly accented voice, and Browning's sleepy girlish soprano ("Some of them want to abuse you/some of them want to be abused...") all mesh easily. Regardless of whether you love or hate the movie, the "Sucker Punch" soundtrack is a delight -- an intense, uncoiling barrage of sound.

A Shot To The Dome,
By John Green "Darkwriter" - Published on Amazon.com
Never been a Tyler Bates fan but the soundtrack to Sucker Punch not only captures the spirit and themes of the film brilliantly, it's a krusher from start to finish! Though it feels more like an Emily Browning vehicle- in addition to being the star of the movie she performs three of the nine songs- it doesn't detract from anything. She's got a light, airy voice and can actually carry a note. Beyond that, every cut here is a solid groove; there's not a weak one in the bunch. This one was made for cranking up the volume!Track Listing: 1) Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This): Mostly electro-acoustic version sung by Emily Browning to a slower, more atmospheric tempo with some nice beats in the background. 2) Army Of Me (Sucker Punch Remix): Bjork teams up with Skunk Anansie for a new take on the old joint. Gets progressively harder as it goes with some action oriented mashing dropped in before coming back to the remixed style. 3) White Rabbit: What's an over-the-top psychedelic sci-fi/fantasy movie without this one? Hot bassline, great drums, nifty guitar, layered vocals and synths- this one's a jam. Plus Emiliana Torrini's accent makes me all tingly... 4) I Want It All/We Will Rock You (Mash-Up): Never been a fan of rap metal, and not really a fan of this one. But the mix is pretty entertaining and Brian May drops a nice little riff in the midst of it all. 5) Search & Destroy: Fast, furious and fun, Skunk Anansie delivers a left hook! Somewhere in a trashed hotel room Iggy Pop is smiling. 6) Tomorrow Never Knows: An impressive rendering of a Beatles classic by Alison Moorhat and Carla Azar. Definitely finds its own groove while keeping the spirit of the original. 7) Where Is My Mind: A Pixies remake that features another appearance by Emily Browning, accompanied by Israeli guitarist Yoav. Starts slow but steadily picks up steam. It's ok, but more for atmosphere than anything. 8) Asleep: The third Emily Browning performance, this time doing The Smiths. A little slower and more acoustic than the original, but good. 9) Love Is The Drug: Oscar Isaac and Carla Guigino do a good job performing this one cabaret-style ala Liza Minelli and Joel Gray. Obviously they were cast as much for their vocal talents as their acting. Gotta admit, I was very pleasantly surprised by this one. Only thing missing is some of the orchestrations from the movie to make it more complete. This is more a 4.5 than a 5-star, but... what the heck. You'll like it! 32 of 34 people found the following review helpful

Amazing!,
By GarionOrb - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Soundtrack (Audio CD)
This soundtrack is brilliant. Psychadelic rock tunes abound, and all have been expertly produced to fit the movie's dark mood. The cast does an amazing job at performing these songs (Emily Browning sings three and some other cast members sing another). It also includes some brilliant remixes of songs by their original artists. Throughout this very short soundtrack album I can honestly say not one track is skippable. All of them are mesmerizing! In particular, however, "Army of Me", "White Rabbit" and "Tomorrow Never Knows" are very notable.This is definitely a soundtrack worth checking out! |
