The title track, Snakes On A Plane (Bring It) starts the disc off with what will undoubtedly become the line most quoted from this movie: Samuel L. Jackson stating, "I am tired of these mother f***in' snakes on this mother f***in' plane!" Then the music starts in. Cobra Starship enlists the help of The Academy Is..., Gym Class Heroes and The Sounds on the track and offers a mildly pleasing musical journey as one of the few original tracks on the disc.
Most of the disc is chock full of remixes and retouches of songs from artists on the Fueled By Ramen and Decaydance record labels. One of the year's biggest names and singles, Panic! At The Disco with The Only Difference Between Martyrdom And Suicide Is Press Coverage, follow up Cobra Starship and get a relatively decent remix of their track with the Tommie Sunshine's Brooklyn Fire Remix. Fall Out Boy's Of All The Gin Joints In The World and The Hush Sound's Wine Red receive Tommie Sunshine's Brooklyn Fire Retouch and turn out relatively similar to Panic's track.
The soundtrack has some pretty good tracks, including The All-American Rejects' Can't Take It (El Camino Prom Wagon Mix), Gym Class Heroes' New Friend Request (Hi-Tek Remix) and Coheed & Cambria's acoustic version of Wake Up. However, it also includes some pretty poor tracks. The Bronx's Around The Horn (Louis XIV Remix), The Sounds' Queen Of Apology (Patrick Stump Remix) and especially Ophidiophobia from Cee Lo Green definitely bring the soundtrack more than a few notches in musical and lyrical quality (Not to mention vocals that are, at best, average).
Overall, Snakes On A Plane: The Album is certainly nothing to get overly exctied about. For fans the artists on this disc, it may be nice to check out a different version of a few songs. However, with a few poor selections, the disc's quality truly dropped quite a bit. Excellent offerings from some bigger names cannot save this disc from overall mediocrity.
