    Various Artists: Napoleon Dynamite (Soundtrack)

    I felt really bummed that I spent $18 on this. Yes, I realize that's a crappy way to start any sort of review/discussion of material.

    I'll start with what the album did right:
    It got most of the major songs, as well as most of the incidental music, all of which conveyed the movie well.

    What it didn't do right:
    As much as the little one liners and dialogue bits are funny, it feels like there's just too many, and it puts the whole album off. 17 dialogue tracks. Many people probably enjoyed it, but it set me off.

    I felt taken for a ride because the Open Credits song, which is by the White Stripes, was not included, just as the dance number music was noticeably absent.

    In the end: There's not a lot I can say about this one. People who "MUST HAVE" everything surrounding Napoleon Dynamite will get this because it will be yet another chance to hear some of the over-used dialogue. Don't piss the money away, I say. Don't even waste the Bandwidth downloading it.
