Musically, the tracks "Diamond", "Golden Brown", "Hot Pants" and... basically the entire album, get you in the Snatch-groove even if you haven't yet seen the movie.

To make the soundtrack even better, four excerpts from lines taken from the movie are included, among them one by un-understandable Brad Pitt and another from Dennis Farina ("I'm coming to London!")

Believe me: this one's worth having!

I saw the movie last night and thought it was just tremendous! Brad Pitt was hilarious in it (for the most part) with the thick accent of GIBBERISH that you can't even understand a word he is saying. The plot was tremendous and very funny! And another thing struck me when I was watching the movie...THE MUSIC! They mixed nearly 30 years of music in one movie. And each song served a purpose and it was outstanding. My favorite track, by far, is Oasis' song...lets just say its called (something) in the bushes. After that, the song Golden Brown by the Stranglers (must be an English band because I've never heard of 'em, which is sad to say that I haven't heard them before here in the U.S. cuz they rock). Other than that, the dialogue tracks are part of some of the funniest parts of the movie. I don't want to give anything away, but if you haven't seen the movie, think about what Avi says on track 20 and when you see the movie you'll see what I'm talking about. =P This is a must-buy soundtrack for 2001 with all genres included!!!!

To start, You really should see the movie before listening to the soundtrack, for, while not required, it will help you understand why pieces like "F**king in the Bushes" are on the same album with "Hava Nagila".

Now that the minor disclaimer is out of the way... this is one of the strangest and greatest collections of music of all time. Ritchie's selections range from classic Broadway ("Hernando's Hideaway") to reggae ("Dreadlock Holiday") to Irish folk ("Golden Brown") to hard rock ("F**king in the Bushes") to DJ techno remixes ("Angel", "Sensual Woman"). It's a collection to make the head spin, but not only does it all fit one one album, it does it wonderfully, combined with strings of dialogue from the movie ("Nemesis" and "Declaration" being my personal favorites). Without question the best piece on the album is "Golden Brown", a slightly off-kilter drinking song that is more than capable of standing on its own. Along with it is Oasis's hard-rocking "F**king in the Bushes", one of the few good performances by the pathetic "We hate the Beatles so much we want to be like them" band. "Cross The Tracks" seems to blend New Orleans style with modern music's beat, making it a definate keeper, while "Don't You Just Know It" is a 50's beach party, and, following the incredibly intense "F**king in the Bushes", seems to break the sound in just the same way "I Want You (She's So Heavy)" blasts into "Here Comes The Sun" (That's on The Beatles' Abbey Road, for all you nonbelievers). This could go on and on through almost every song, but there just isn't enough room. It's an album for all ages - I'm very much a classic rocker and found even the modern techno entertaining, although Ritchie does plug his wife ("Lucky Star"? Please, God, no!), marring the album, but, hey, that's what the 'skip' button is for.

Once again, this is a motley collection of music that somehow manages to fit together into a coherant and funny soundtrack to a coherant and funny movie. A must-have for fans of just about any music.

An audible mosiac from techno beats to reggae funk, this soundtrack not only accompanied the movie perfectly, but also nails the major soul food groups. Groovy tunes by the relatively unknown makes Britney fans cringe. What? For free-minded who listen to music for the joy music brings, Snatch delivers. This is the perfect pre-party acquisition for the young-spirited or that one spice adding some zip to chilling. Right on. Five stars.

I must say that Snatch is one of the best arranged soundtracks to a movie I have heard in a long long time. Not only did it span decades of time, it went to every corner of the earth in search of the answer to the very question: "What song(s) would best fit this movie or movie scene?" Guy Ritchie pulled it off wonderfully. My most favorite track on the soundtrack has to be Disco Science by Mirwais. Never has background music to a certain movie scene sent chills through my spine so efficiently, and raise goosebumps of excitement and energy until this. Hats off to Guy Ritchie and the fellows who helped find and arrange the tracks to the movie.
