Sweeping irresistibly forward like some dream hybrid of Ziggy Stardust, Kashmir-era Zeppelin and German techno, U2's massive "Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me" launches this disc. Also included are tracks by Brandy (the Lenny Kravitz-produced "Where Are You Now?"), Seal ("Kiss from a Rose"), Eddi Reader ("Nobody Lives Without Love"), and The Devlins ("Crossing the River"). Michael Hutchence butchers Iggy Pop's "The Passenger," but The Offspring mines big fun from The Damned's "Smash It Up.
While the sound quality of the CD is great, the music itself is, well, lousy. Some of the selections (R. Kelly, Batman theme, instrumentals, etc) are great, but others are too head-banger / heavy-metal. What was not too noticeable in the movie is really noticeable and irritating on the CD. A majority of the soundtrack is pop / ?? with some highlights, and some real lows. Buy this one used - never new!
This is an absolute gem. Streaming services don’t have the full album so the one-off tracks/singles can only be enjoyed through physical CD’s.

Has a few songs I like on it. Can't really tell it's a soundtrack for the movie though.

The songs on this album were written for the film. The track listing could not be more packed. U2, PJ Harvey, Brandy(Featuring Lenny Kravitz), Seal, Massive Attack with Tracy Thorn, Mazzy Star, The Offspring, Nick Cave, Method Man, the Flaming Lips, etc. The music is well written and the lyrics are excellent. Don't allow the over-the-top production of the film, and its cartoon-y nature detour you from buying this album.
