While the songs themselves on the soundtrack were really solid, the way they were used in the movie was too much for me. You don't need a catchy 80's song to start every single scene. Sometimes a simple score or no music at all will do just fine. ...

[quote]The new album is freaking incredible. Big Thief was always hit or miss for me with me LOVING some songs and feeling a little ambivalent on the quieter singer/songwriter stuff. Thankfully this album swings much more toward the catchy, hooky, jammier side of Big Thief, and I'm here for it. ...
Prince and Katy Perry stand out to me. Prince from a quality standpoint and Katy Perry from a pure entertainment standpoint. Regardless of what you think of her music, the Katy Perry halftime show was a lot of fun to watch....
