Editorial Review:
Like the movie itself, the Romeo + Juliet soundtrack is filled with emotional twists; from the hardness of Garbage's "#1 Crush" and the Butthole Surfers' "Whatever" to Stina Nordenstam's endearing, whispery "Little Star" the journey is all over the map. Within the CD-enhanced grooves, however, moments of absolute brilliance flow; Des'ree's "Kissing You (Love Theme from Romeo + Juliet)" is perhaps her strongest work to date, while Radiohead's "Talk Show Host" is a track that the group treasures and performs live often. Those two tracks alone make this soundtrack worth the purchase price. --Denise Sheppard

Rating:  - R+J's Alternative Makeover!
Baz Lurhmann's vision for his take on one of the most famous tragedies in modern American Literature was lauded for it's fast, slick, music-video style pace. The soundtrack (Vol. 1), however, completed its makeover into the alternative universe, as it was a consistently solid, beautifully crafted compilation of songs that gave new meaning to this tale of star-crossed, ill-fated lovers. Garbage's brooding tale of obsessive devotion ("#1 Crush") and The Cardigans' irresistible ditty, "LoveFool", are ... Read More
Rating:  - You love her like the stars above
It's rare to find a soundtrack that makes every track count. This compilation does, and in doing so it covers the range of emotions from the film, in a variety of different sounds. The collection of artists on this soundtrack is fantastic and that is completely reflected through the high quality it contains. I would have liked for the soundtrack to be more inclusive of songs from the film, but as it stands it's a great listen.
Rating: - great movie, great soundtrack
I wish they would have included everything from the movie, but this is pretty good.
Rating: - quintessential movie soundtrack for the 90's
If I were asked to choose just ONE movie soundtrack that embraced mainstream teen pop culture of the 1990's, this would be it. If anything, I think it is even better now than it was then. The tracks fit together beautifully.
Rating: - My 4th copy.
Since this CD was released, I have loved and lost this CD for appx. 3 times. Every time I would lend it out I would never get it back. It's probably one of the best soundtracks ever. Now that I have it, again, it's not leaving my hands.
