The End is the Beginning is the End is so good. the rest are all... meh... if you are a Smashing Pumpkins fan like myself, buy this, because those 2 songs are worth it. They pretty much sounds like Jellybelly meets Stand Inside Your Love, or something.

The American moviegoing public really has completely lost its grasp upon what a 'FILM' is. America is uber-obsessed with 'MOVIES' - you know, lets blow up some trucks and make sure our protagonist falls in love with a beautiful blonde bombshell. What America doesn't understand anymore is that MOVIES can be art - they can be FILMS. They can be substantative, evocative, heartbreaking meditations on the human condition. 'BATMAN AND ROBIN' is one of these FILMS, though it has never even been touched by snooty (and misinformed) American critics, who would rather run out and see the new Bertolucci of Jarmusch film. Go to Italy, the country that PRACTICALLY INVENTED MOVING CINEMA, and you will read a much different story. They appreciate this film - all good films - as the true art that they can be.
Ok, though, enough ranting LOL. Seriously, I just sometimes get SO P.O'd BY AMERICAN IDIOTS LOLOL! This soundtrack is pretty good. Not necessarilly my favorite music, but I do not feel that this should be how a SOUNDTRACK IS CONSIDERED. I mean, seriously people. THIS MUSIC PROPPELED THE FILM PRETTY BRILLIANTLY! It's almost impossible to imagine this film - which I consider has been unjustly robbed of being considered brilliant - without the relatively brilliant (contextually) soundtrack. Perhaps not worth buying, I mean, I barely listen to this one anymore, but worth checking out, if only to remember your firsttime seeing B+R. A powerful accompaniment.

Since this album is such an eclectic mix, I have a hard time believing that anyone could like all of the songs. Most will probably only like a few of them. For me, those songs were "Lazy Eye", "Gotham City", "Foolish Games".
However, these songs weren't the CD's real saving grace. What I actually thought was cool was that the Batman instrumental theme was on this disc. However, after opening with some decent tunes and then hitting these bright spots, I felt that the album generally goes downhill. Maybe I just don't dig this kind of music, but I sure didn't find myself singing along, that's for sure.

I bought this when I was five years old. I LIKED (past tense) only one song and that would be track 13: "Elliot Goldenthal: A Batman Overture". But now that I listned more carefully, I realize there are good song on this album:
1.- "The Smashing Pumpking: The End Is The Begining Is The End".- A very strange title. I like this song, but it has a grissly intro.- 4/5.
2.- "Bone Thugs 'N' Harmony: Look Into My Eyes".- A good song. Finally an unbulgar rap song.- 4/5.
3.- "R. Kelly: Gotham City".- This one is one of the best songs on this album. I like this kind of songs, calmed and relaxing and a little joyfull.- 5/5.
4.- "Arkarna: House On Fire".- Don't like this kind of songs that much.- 2/5.
5.- "R.E.M.: Revolution".- I love this song. Very much. A great one on this album.- 5/5.
6.- "Jewel: Foolish Games".- I also like this one just as much as "R. Kelly: Gotham City".- 5/5.
7.- "Goo Goo Dolls: Lazy Eye".- I love this song as much as "R.E.M.: Revolution".- 5/5.
8.- "Lauren Christy: Breed".- Good song, but not as good as "R. Kelly: Gotham City".- 3/5.
9.- "Soul Coughing: The Bug".- I do not like this one. Too strange.- 2/5.
10.- "Moloko: Fun For Me".- I don't like this one either.- 2/5.
11.- "Me'shell Ndegéocello: Poison Ivy".- A strange song. I'm not that much of a fan of this one.- 3/5.
12.- "Eric Benét: True To Myself".- As good as "R. Kelly: Gotham City".- 5/5.
13.- "Elliot Goldenthal: A Batman Overture".- O.K. When I was five, I loved this song, I played it all day. But now I hate this kind of songs (composed with symphonys and specialy for the motion picture) and realize there are better songs on this album. Such as "Gotham City", "Revolution", "True To Myself", "Lazy Eye", "Foolish Game", etc.- 3/5
14.- "Underworld: Moaner".- Horrible. Bad. The worst on this album. I hate this kind of songs.- 0/5.
15.- "The Smashing Pumpkins: The Beggining Is The End Is The Beggining".- This song is the same as the first track on this album, but slower and darker. If you notice in the title from the first song: where it says beggining, on the last track says end...anyway, I stick to the first version.- 3/5.
O.K. So this album is not that great, but for me, this one is the best banda sonora fo all MOTION PICTURE SOUNDTRACKS I own. It has more variation and great songs. If you want to buy this album, then buy it, but...if you don't...then I understand why.
Anyway, my point here is that I HATE MOTION PICTURE SOUNDTRACKS, but I think this one is an exception.

This soundtrack is pretty bad. It really pales in comparison to the "Batman Forver" soundtrack. I gave this two stars solely for the two (really) good songs on it. "The Bug" by Soul Coughing, and "Moaner" by Underworld. I'm a fan of R.E.M. and Smashing Pumpkins, but I just really don't like their songs on here. The Bone Thugs-N-Harmony song is really good, but edited on this CD (blech).
...So overall, if you can find it for really cheap, you might want to pick it up. But it really only has a couple good songs.
