I myself couldn't ask for a better opening to an album. The soundtrack to Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back reflects the dichotomy in the titular character's tastes in music--they like the most recent stuff but have a real affection for eighties tracks like "Bad Medicine" and "Tougher than Leather," and this album has both. "Jay's Rap 2001," quoted above, is easily the catchiest goddamn tune I've heard in a year, and Stroke 9's "Kick Some Ass" isn't bad in that department either. "Tube of Wonderful," the theme from Chasing Amy, makes a cute appearance in the film as a theme for Ben Affleck's Holden, though its inclusion here doesn't do a whole lot. Minibar's "Choked Up" has a great melody and flowing sound which makes it good to sing along with--it was barely fit into the movie, but I'm certainly glad it's here. Rounding out the album, which is as lightweight--and hilarious--as its source are some choice dialogue from the movie, including Tracy Morgan's classic "Touching a Brother's Heart" and Jay's screed against the netnerds ("Idiots vs. The Internet"). If you're one of the people who bought this album solely for Afroman's "Because I Got High" and are considering selling it to a used CD store, give the rest of the disc a spin--you might be pleasantly surprised by it. (This review refers to the "explicit content" version of the album.)
