Various - This Is 40 Original Motion Picture Soundtrack

Review by Rodrigo Flández Santos

The This Is 40 Original Motion Picture Soundtrack is a compilation album featuring various artists. The album has received mixed reviews from critics and fans alike. Some have praised the album for its eclectic mix of genres and artists, while others have criticized it for lacking cohesion and flow.

One standout track on the album is "I Will Dare" by The Replacements, which showcases the band's signature blend of punk and pop. Other notable tracks include "Lucky Now" by Ryan Adams, "Rewrite" by Paul Simon, and "Days That We Die" by Loudon Wainwright III.

While the album features some strong individual tracks, it lacks a cohesive theme or sound. The variety of genres and artists is both a strength and a weakness, as it can make the album feel disjointed at times. Additionally, some of the songs feel out of place on a soundtrack for a film about middle-aged couples, such as "Dull Tool" by Fiona Apple.

Summary by Rodrigo Flández Santos

the This Is 40 Original Motion Picture Soundtrack is a mixed bag. While it has some standout tracks, it lacks coherence and may not appeal to all listeners.
