| | Kill Bill 2 Kill Bill Vol. 2 Soundtrack CD (7 Customer Reviews)
For the second installment of Quentin Tarantino's revenge tale KILL BILL, the renowned director/screenwriter/pop-culture whirlwind continues his streak of smart, quirky soundtrack selections. In addition to more snippets of film dialogue by Uma Thurman and others, VOL. 2 also sees the return of VOL. 1 musical contributors Charlie Feathers, Luis Bacalov, Meiko Kaji, and, in a bonus track, the RZA.
However, that's where the similarities stop, since VOL. 2 features a distinct spaghetti-Western vibe, most evident in three vintage Ennio Morricone compositions. Echoing this theme is Shivaree's contribution, the twangy, dusky "Goodnight Moon." Perhaps the most notable track, however, is a previously unreleased Johnny Cash recording that features the Man in Black performing a spare, meditative rendition of "A Satisfied Mind." As with Tarantino's previous soundtracks, these wildly varied songs form a strangely cohesive mix that filters numerous forms of pop music through the auteur's unique aesthetic and perfectly complements his striking visuals.Rolling Stone (p.73) - 4 stars out of 5 - "[The album] draws from Italian-cinema music masters Ennio Morricone and Luis Bacalov, and also the Americana of overlooked folk-rock band Shivaree."
Uncut (p.96) - 4 stars out of 5 - "The music's deliberately eclectic, built around a spine of appropriated Morricone."

A great CD! Enjoyed all the music. The only song I didn't like was as the end, it continues with a really bad rap song. Would have prefered they add it as an addtional track so I could just skip it, but they attached it to the last track on the CD. Otherwise it was a great CD.

Almost Perfect, But Not Quite...
I love this soundtrack! It is very good, almost as good as Vol. 1 - but not quite. There isn't as much RZA-direct involvement - but there is a great hidden track by him. This one is a little 'softer' than Vol. 1 - but so is the movie, so it goes hand-in-hand. But reallly...Charlie Fethers to Johnny Cash...where can you go wrong with that???

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No Not as good as Vol. 1, but more complete
The Kill Bill Vol.1 soundtrack got play after play in my car, as some of the songs chosen for the movie were outstanding to listen to. Fewer songs jump out at the listener on Vol.2, but there seems to be a more complete set of songs (many important ones were left off the Vol.1 disc). Note the "hidden" bonus track by the RZA (with slightly less objectionable nutty rhymes) several minutes past the last note of the final track. Like the movies, Vol.1 may be better, but Vol.2 is worth hearing repeatedly as well.

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No  Excellent sound track,beautiful music by Meika Kaji
Oh, I really enjoy both movies and the soundtracks expecially with the Artist: Meiko Kaji Lyrics Song: The Flower of Carnage Lyrics and Uranami Bushi - I could listen to these two songs for hours.I fell in love with the songs even before I need the meaning. I just had to get it translate into English. The songs really touch my heart.

just as good as vol.1
the only problem with this album is putting the rza on the latter half of the last track. that was a terrible idea. besides that, the soundtrack is great. lots of beautiful songs.
