This album has a real good collection of songs spanning artists as diverse as Madonna, r.e.m., Green Day, Burt Bacharach, Elvis Costello, and Quincy Jones and his Orchestra, just to name a few. We also get a 60's track from The Who. And of course there is the fun track by Dr Evil "Just the two of us". The booklet includes a few photos from the movie. On the whole, this is one soundtrack that works.

This soundtrack to the outrageously funny movie, Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me, is one of the best that I own and have ever listened to. From what I have heard, the main idea to this soundtrack was to sound '60s-ish with a '90s touch. Mission accomplished! My favorite track on this soundtrack is by the one and only, Madonna! Beautiful Stranger rocks! Madonna's lyrics are so powerful and convincing. I just love this song. It definitely deserved the Grammy award for Best Song For A Soundtrack. I would have to say that my second favorite song on this soundtrack is Alright by The Lucy Nation. I had had this soundtrack for a long time before I found this song. Alright is such a sad and powerful song. I can listen to it over and over and over and never get sick or tired of it. But I must say that I think this song belongs on the Magnolia soundtrack (not a bad thing) and I say that because it's sad in a way and would fit with the Aimee Mann songs on Magnolia. American Woman by Lenny Kravitz has been called bad. I must greatly disagree with them because I think it's a great song. The guitars in this song are very amazing. The other song I liked from this soundtrack is a song that was also put down greatly. It's Word Up by Scary Spice. I think it's a really cool club song. I wish it got some radio attention. If you couldn't tell from the rest of my review that I like this soundtrack a lot and that you should buy it, maybe you should look more carefully. You SHOULD definitely buy this soundtrack because it rocks!

The perfect CD for the feel good mood, whether you feel it or need to feel it! If you have seen the movie already, then this is the perfect complement to it!

This is a great album (So is the movie). Madonna's "Beautiful Stranger" is an awesome song thanks to her outstanding beautiful voice and William Orbit who gave the song just the right amount of 60's style. That's just a great song. "American Woman" by Lenny Kravitz is also a great song to listen to. The same goes for "Word Up" by "Scary Spice". The Dr. Evil remix of Will Smith's "Just the Two of Us" is hilarious to listen to if you get the chance. You should definitely buy this album and see the movie.

This is a great cd. Every song except for one was really fun to lister to. Dr. Evil even sings a song! The only song I would skip is probably "Word Up" by Melanie G. (a.k.a. One of the spices) But otherwise this is a great Cd. I especially like the Soul Bossa Nova song. GO AND BUY THIS CD!

I LOVE the songs especially JUST THE TWO OF US, AMERICAN WOMAN, and BUGGIN. IN JUST THE TWO OF US Dr. Evil makes the best lyrics EVER!!!

i think it is excellent and really shows off the film well! A good choice of songs old and new and i especially liked the docter evil-just the two of us!

This cd is very, very shaggedalic!! I think the Dr.Evil remix of Just the two of us, is the best!! Austin Powers, he's the MAN!! Yeah! Viva Las Vegas baby, yeah! Good songs on the cd!

I loved these fab songs. The're smashing baby! I hate 'word up' but I love the rest of the songs- especially 'beautiful stranger', 'just the two of us', and the 'soul bossa nova'! The sound track is shagadelic! A must for anyone who's seen the movie, and a must try for anyone who hasn't!

If your looking for a bargain buy, where every track is worth listening to, this is the one, baby, yeah! From the hard rock sounds of lenny Kravitz to the almost-but-not-quite-techno tune of Madonna's "Beautiful Stranger". Even if you misssed the movie, don't miss this album of the year at an unbeatable price!!!
