Review from CDNow
Sarah Michelle Geller, Reese Witherspoon and Selma Blair -- the trio of femme fatales who play the leads of Cruel Intentions -- may be three of the hottest women out of Hollywood these days, but the soundtrack that complements them is even hotter.
There are the songs you already know and love, namely the Verve's "Bittersweet Symphony" and Fatboy Slim's "Praise You" and then there are all the songs that you probably don't know, but still rock this world.

The album opens with Placebo's "Every You Every Me," with lead singer Brian Molko's sneering charm cutting through the grinding pop punk guitar riff. Blur contributes "Coffee & TV," a catchy track (which also appears on its new 13 CD) that reeks of American indie pop with a British accent and a broken heart. Next up is Counting Crows' "Colorblind," where simple piano melody winds its way through Adam Duritz's yearning vocals, making a subdued ballad for the lovelorn everywhere.

Marcy Playground drops by with the coyly titled and funkier-than-thou "Comin' Up From Behind," while British fave Skunk Anansie delivers a sweeping, string-laden ballad, "Secretly." Other highlights are Craig Armstrong and Elizabeth Fraser's (of Cocteau Twins fame) "This Love," a melancholy trip-hop track and Faithless' new song, "Addictive," which brings guitars, dancehall beats, raspy raps and soaring vox, courtesy of its own Sister Bliss, together in an infectious swirling madness.

The Cruel Intentions soundtrack covers a lot of musical ground and succeeds in picking the best of everything it touches upon. Whether you've seen the movie or not, this collection is a classic and very well may be the Say Anything soundtrack of the '90's.
