Free Music Notes for Pulp Fiction (Collector's Edition)
Free Music Review: You Can't Resist It, You Know you Want It
Hit: 5 Stars
Pulp Fiction easily has one of the greatest soundtracks when it comes to movies, (although the songs admittedly gain more meaning automatically when used in the context of his movies) and rightly so. Like the movie itself, it's a glorious, concise joyride, full of surf guitar, country, passion, and whatever have you. Indeed, these songs are easily full of meaning because they are actually used in context of these movies, and with snippets of dialogue scattered about, well, what else can a Tarantino lover ask for? Here's my individual thoughts on each song.
1. Misirlou-Starting out with the energetic dialogue before the hold up that rips right into scorching riffs. Its strong exotic flavor never wanes and the song will make you jump out and air guitar, as well as dance with your body like crazy.
2. Royale With Cheese-the famous Royale with Cheese bit, though it gets old if you listen to too much. I've heard this one too many times, though.
3. Jungle Boogie- Raunchy, in your-face, this is the soundtrack to Pulp Fiction's most scorching moments.
4. Let's Stay Together-The classy, brassy intro, will make you always imagine the title card in the movie, then the movie's somehow timeless, poignant feel is reflected in this The song itself is soulful Al Green, whatever than means.
5. Bustin Surfboards-This bright and sunny surf guitar classic is nostalgic, punctured by an extremely raw feel to it. Played during the drug dealing scene.
6. Lonesome Town-This great song, performed by Ricky Nelson, is an ode to loneliness. Somber and concise as well, and it doesn't stick around enough to get on your nerves
7. Son of A Preacher Man-Yeah! Who doesn't remember this stylish, super-cool, chill song. Makes you want to pour a couple glasses of wine, kick it with a beautiful woman, and smoke all night long. Or spend a date with the classy Uma Thurman. Either one works.
8. Bullwinkle Part 2-After a snippet of Zed's dead, this dark, spaghetti western surf song makes you feel high and ready for crusing down the highway. Great solos from the sax and guitar
9. You can Never Tell-This song just rules. This infectious, rockabilly tune will you have dancing the twist along with Mia and Vincent in no time.
10. Girl, You'll Be A Woman Soon-This breathtaking song is atmospheric for a top 40 tune. It's the kind of song that perfectly captures a sunset ride in the painted desert or dream beach. You'll be strumming the guitar notes in this song and dancing along like Uma in no time flat.
11. If Love is a Red Dress-Alright, I wasn't a big fan of this song, but this country song is legit made and sounds rustic the way country should be.
12. Bring Out the Gimp-This song kind of does capture the crazy and somewhat haunting motives of Zed and Maynard, but it's raunchy, crazy jazz, with a wildly entertaing rhythm, guitars, and instruments. You'll air drum the song in no time.
13. Flowers On the Wall-This country romp from the guys who brought us Bred of Roses is perhaps the best non-known song on here. It's chorus is stomping and catchy beyond belief.
14. Personality Goes A Long Way-kind of weak without facial expressions, but I'm not really going to complain here.
15. Surf Rider-A conclusive, brilliantly infectious piece of surf work. In the movie, this makes the credits worth watching, simply bcause you get to jam for a pretty extended amount of time.
16. Ezekiel 25:17-Doesn't need the facial expressions, you already know this one to well.
17. Since I first Met You-Meh, the only piece of crap on this alubm. But it really doesn't matter much.
18. Rumble-Abused by Roland Emmerich in his stinker ID4, this is another song that plays during the uncomfortable silence bit.
19. Strawberry Letter 22-This song is heard very quietly and briefly when Jules and Vincent are passing some apartments on their way to the hit. Used more in Jackie Brown, however, but it's still a great tune.
20. Out of Limits-Gets a bit irritating, but some great surf riffs in the build-up make the songs worth listening.
This re-issue (ignore the Collector's Edition tag) is remastered, and while I don't own the original soundtrack, the soundtrack sounds loud, clear, and bright, just excellently made. If your original soundtrack sounded a bit dated by know, then there's really nothing to say but get this one. Whether or not you'll like the bonus tracks and the 16-minute rant from Tarantino is up to you, but hearing these songs gloriously bright and denser than before is the sole point. Heck, getting this soundtrack and hearing this on a high-fi sound system is like polishing up and getting reunited with a lost favorite movie recently released on DVD with tons of bonus features and crazy picture, highly updated from your beloved and worn out VHS that doesn't work anymore. And if you haven't ever owned the soundtrack but found yourself getting giddy every time a song comes on, then don't delay and get this album now.
I really can't think of a reason not to get this album. Easily the most concise and longest Quentin Tarantino album ever made, with Kill Bill Vol. 1 on its heels. Should be billed as Essential. Essential I tell you! You know the meaning of essential, right?
