Film noir goes country in <I>Clay Pigeons</I>, and the small-town vibe found onscreen certainly translates into a well-meaning soundtrack of alt-country acts and C&W standards. The best cuts are the less familiar ones: Old 97's "Timebomb," Firewater's "Another Perfect Catastrophe," and Collapsis's title track. Each tune sounds fresh and new, but all have that familiar twang. Filling out the compilation are tracks by Tonic, the Verve Pipe, even Lyle Lovett and Pat Boone. This isn't the typical soundtrack for a movie about a serial killer, but--thanks to a classic Jimmy Wakely cut and the aforementioned up-and-comers--it's better than average. <I>--Jason Verlinde</I>

Absence of the most important song hurts.......2002-08-03
"It's Now or Never" is obviously the song that everyone associates with this movie, and it's just not there on the soundtrack.
However, what is there is pretty darn good. To one unfamiliar with the movie, it's a mishmash of rock, pop, and country mixed together, but to one who's watched the movie carefully, it all makes sense, From the raucous "Timebomb" to Jimmy Wakely's "Moon Over Montana" and all in between such as "Everybody's Talkin' Sara Evans "Almost New", Don Gibson's "Sea of Heartbreak", Sister Hazel's "Let Your Love Flow", even Pat Boone's "Moody River" and the title song.
As a matter of fact, those who think they don't like country, or don't like rock, or don't like older pop music, will find their musical tastes expanding as long as they listen to the music in relation to the movie itself. The way the music's used gives a whole new perspective so that you can see what each style of music is really about.
What a great soundtrack from a great movie........2001-09-07
I was a little disappointed by some of the missing songs, especially It's Now or Never from one of the best scenes in the movie. Proof that it is not easy to get the rights to sell an Elvis song. But, can you judge on what is missing? No-- judge this soundtrack by what is there. This CD sports 11 really great tracks which more than make up for the inclusion of "Almost New" by Sarah Evans.
If you have yet to see the movie, get up now and go get it. If you've already seen the movie, then you already know how good the soundtrack is.
the best song was missing!.......2001-07-11
I absolutely loved Clay Pigeons - I've made anyone visiting watch it. That's how much I love it. But the cd disappointed me because it left out some songs most importantly "It's Now or Never" which was, in my opinion, played at a crucial point in the movie and at one of my favorite scenes. The scene was when Lester was in "Vixon's" kitchen getting a beer & he eyed the butcher block on the counter. He then picked up the biggest knife, tipped his cowboy hat forward & that's when the song played which was so cool. So why that song & others didn't make the soundtrack is beyond me but nevertheless, disappointing. -LJ
the right blend of everything.......1999-08-26
I really enjoyed this soundtrack because of the varitey of songs, not to mention that 99% of them were just darn good! I didn't like the two country songs, but the others made up for them 100%!
Collapsis tops the soundtrack with catchy tune........1999-04-06
This soundtrack is very good through and through. Collapsis' track, "Clay Pigeons (The Ballad of Lester Long)" takes the cake, though. I'd heard that they were gonna be on the soundtrack (they're from the area) so I figured I'd check it out. That song is great... quarky, but great. Mike Garrigan has been playing that kind of music around The Triangle (Raleigh, Durham, Chapel Hill) since 1993, and since forming Collapsis it's only gotten better. I'd highly recommend not only this soundtrack, but "The Chartreuse EP" they released in Oct. '98. I think their major-label debut will come out this Fall, too.
