Music reviews of Fear And Loathing In Las Vegas: Music From The Motion Picture
Music Review: Make this the soundtrack for your own trip.
Rating: 5 Stars
Perhaps being the rabid Hunter S. fan that I am, maybe I'm too biased to review this disc. It doesn't hurt that I pored over the book and can be found catatonically transfixed by the movie at least twice a month. But even if I found the movie confusing and pointless, as many lesser individuals did, I would still love this soundtrack. It's the perfect mix of songs to stir up those old feelings of fear and loathing lurking inside you, or to blast late at night while tearing across the Nevada desert (as I tested on a recent trek across the country). They are appropriate for the sentiment of the movie and the era, without being ersatz or Forrest-Gump-soundtrack-cheesy most of the time. And, where there is cheese, it's good cheese, like Brewer and Shipley's stoner anthem "One Toke Over the Line", with a little Tom Jones and Perry Como thrown in for that Vegas feel. Other songs recall the central theme of "Fear and Loathing"--the end of the hippie dream, the center of American excess. The drug score will trip you out and have you chanting "...you took too much, too much..." and the highly memorizable sound shippets from the film are so appropriate, not to mention handy. Finally, a suprise with The Dead Kennedy's version of Viva Las Vegas, a perfect coda which makes this soundtrack stand on its own. In conclusion: Buy it. Now.
