"I don't think this CD was very popular when it came out back in '95, but now some of the artists on here are no longer "no-names" - case in point, the Flaming Lips have rocketed in popularity since the release of Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots (which I suggest you pick up if you like the song on here) and Massive Attack has grown more popular I think (pick up their album Mezzanine for some really good trip-hop).The U2 track and the Seal track are both classics, Nick Cave is awesome (his album No More Shall We Part is excellent - another good buy) and the rest of the album make this better than the average soundtrack.It's not spectacular, but if you want a sampling of good groups to get into, give it a try."
A soundtrack better than the movie

"I saw the movie in the theaters and grimaced throughout, but found the music continued to meet my expectations of what Batman should invoke, and so I had to get this CD. Unlike the film itself, this project was well executed and gave much more of an emotional connection. There is a little bit of rock, punk and R&B on here to appeal to a wide variety of consumers---or somebody with one very ecclectic palate--so even if you were soured by the single overplay from this album do not let it stop you from going out to get this treasure."
Very Good Compilation

"I got this disc years ago, and enjoyed it very frequently. Also, it was my introduction to Seal, and Kiss From A Rose is now one of my favorites. The opening track is kick-ass. And there are a few other winners in this compilation that make it deserving of a five star rating. Overall, it's pretty cool. Check it out."
"Holy good soundtrack Batman!"

"I can safely say that the first 7 tracks on here are excellent. After that, not bad. Obviously the "U2" and "Seal" songs are the big ones, but the tracks from "Mazzy Star" and "Flaming Lips" are good too, as are most of the rest. I've never heard of "Eddi Reader" before, but that song is beautiful. At least this soundtrack isn't all "Prince", though I like him. Now lets see if Batman 5 is gonna be any good, with Christian Bale."
What about Sunny Day???

"Okay, so maybe Nick Cave and Massive Ataack add to the overall effect of the album... but in my opinion, Sunny Day Real Estate's "8" is an amazing song, easily the best on the album. Check out S.D.R.E.'s albums "Diary" and "LP2" for more great pre-emo guitar-driven rock."
