Title: all that baz
Review: I had the utter misfortune to, last night, be trapped in a restaurant which felt compelled to play this soundtrack not only once but twice. Almost all of these songs are just warmed over versions of songs which were novelties in their own era. Why in the world would anyone on earth need to hear a homunculus like Beck sing a David Bowie song? That's like Pee Wee Herman singing Sinatra. And the rest of these songs are mostly just irony laden disco songs which still pale next to the funky originals. Personally, I think Baz Luhrmann is a talentless idiot (since when has been setting La Boheme to a few songs twenty years old considered original?)--he's really only interesting on the most adolescent level--and after being forced to listen to this useless collection twice in a row, my opinion is not only reinforced but is now twice as strong. This CD is so useless; case closed.
Is the review positive or negative?
