Nick and Norah rock! - I was obsessed with this soundtrack for about a month. I kept playing it over and over. I love it. It totally reminds me of the movie--which I loved too. I ordered it right after I saw the movie.
Overrated - I bought the soundtrack because of all the hype the music in the movie was receiving, and I m normally not disappointed when I take a chance on an album, but I really was this time. I thought that there might be a problem when I didn t recognize any of the artists featured on the soundtrack. Anyway, the songs as a whole are quite creative and different. Sadly, though, many of them are also dull. I literally almost fell asleep while listening. The first few songs are solid. Everything else after that is just okay. I haven t seen the movie, but I ve heard that the songs work well with it. Maybe that s the case, and so maybe people should just see the movie and pass on this boring assortment of songs.
Excellent review of Nick & Norah s Infinite Playlist Soundtrack - I loved the movie, and when I saw it, I knew that I had to have the soundtrack. I liked the affordable price Amazon listed the soundtrack as, compared to higher prices of other stores. The soundtrack is amazing, it s very unique and a lot of fun to listen/dance/sing to!
Wonderful Album - This is a very enjoyable album. I highly recommend this for anyone who wants quality music that is slightly off the mainstream. In that way, the Nick & Norah soundtrack is a great primer for the indi music scene in New York and a few other places. And the fact that it comes in vinyl only helps it hold true to the spirit of the movie. Great music from a great movie.
More infinite playlist, please - Great array of material by Indie artists. Nicely balanced, with just the right amount of over the top energy, countered by more acoustic material. Don t be afraid of unfamiliar band names! The music speaks loudly, and softly for itself. Even the most familiar artist, Vampire Weekend, does a tasty rejoinder to their self-titled debut album. Highly recommend!
