Reception
Filmtracks gave a negative review, "It's an absolute mess of a soundtrack on the whole, and it has passages that are so mind-bogglingly awful that you can only laugh at their misplacement in this concept."[4] Owen Gleiberman of Variety and Frank Scheck of The Hollywood Reporter called it "amazing" and "memorable".[5][6]
