Only for U2 fans
There are a couple really good songs on it but other than that. I am a big U2 fan and I don't really like this. . . not for the average listener.


Where's Waldo
that we have to be patient and listen, re-listen, and give the music a chance. I am an avid U2 fan and understand that as the band experiments, reinvents, pushes the envelope, etc. So it is with this record. But finding the U2 aspect of the soundtrack is a little like finding Where's Waldo. On some tracks its very obvious, on others its virtually impossible.

I'll keep listening but so far its a disappointment. .


Buy it for the Frisell stuff
Repeated listenings over the past 5 years has led me to the conclusion that the finest material on this album is the instrumental stuff comprised of the non-U2 groups. I bought this way back in 2000 for the U2 songs (in fact, I have still not even seen the film). Bill Frisell fans should pick this album up for sure, as a couple of songs he plays are breathtakingly beautiful.
Unfortunately, you'll have to skip over the song titled "Satellite of Love" because Milla screams and gargles over a good portion of it, leading me to cringe uncomfortably - I really like her in movies, but this vocal performance is sad and annoying.
But aside from that, the album is worth buying for the reasons I gave above.


In the night, under a full moon...
. . to relax with a good music!.


Clueless
Milla's smoky vocals are lovely. Okay, so it may not be a GREAT album, but the Milla-bashing is just inexusably misinformed. It is Bono who does the horrid squawking at the end. If you listen toward the end of the song they take the FX off and you can hear him. It would have been a great song without it.
