Customer Reviews:
- Nick and Norah rock!: I was obsessed with this soundtrack for about a month. I kept playing it over and over. I love it. It totally reminds me of the movie--which I loved too. I ordered it right after I saw the movie.
- Overrated: I bought the soundtrack because of all the hype the music in the movie was receiving, and I'm normally not disappointed when I take a chance on an album, but I really was this time. I thought that there might be a problem when I didn't recognize any of the artists featured on the soundtrack. Anyway, the songs as a whole are quite creative and "different." Sadly, though, many of them are also dull. I literally almost fell asleep while listening. The first few songs are solid. Everything else after that is just okay. I haven't seen the movie, but I've heard that the songs work well with it. Maybe that's the case, and so maybe people should just see the movie and pass on this boring assortment of songs.
- Excellent review of Nick & Norah's Infinite Playlist Soundtrack: I loved the movie, and when I saw it, I knew that I had to have the soundtrack. I liked the affordable price Amazon listed the soundtrack as, compared to higher prices of other stores. The soundtrack is amazing, it's very unique and a lot of fun to listen/dance/sing to!
- Wonderful Album: This is a very enjoyable album. I highly recommend this for anyone who wants quality music that is slightly off the mainstream. In that way, the Nick & Norah soundtrack is a great primer for the indi music scene in New York and a few other places. And the fact that it comes in vinyl only helps it hold true to the spirit of the movie. Great music from a great movie.
- More infinite playlist, please: Great array of material by Indie artists. Nicely balanced, with just the right amount of over the top energy, countered by more acoustic material. Don't be afraid of unfamiliar band names! The music speaks loudly, and softly for itself. Even the most familiar artist, Vampire Weekend, does a tasty rejoinder to their self-titled debut album. Highly recommend!
