James Gunn's The Suicide Squad O.S.T. - 180g LP

--DANIEL'S STAMP OF APPROVAL--

 

There's honestly not much to say here that doesn't go without saying.

I adored this movie, and James Gunn never lets down with a soundtrack.

The Guardians of the Galaxy movies were both packed with classic songs, and this soundtrack is the same breed but with a more contemporary touch.

I usually prefer to own compilations on CD over vinyl for the sake of my tendency to lean more toward some songs than others, but this was something I purchased in a heartbeat; it's golden all the way through, beginning to end.

Works perfectly both in and outside the context of the film.

Mondo, in conjunction with Troll Court / WaterTower Music, is proud to present the premiere vinyl pressing of the latest mix-tape masterpiece curated by writer/director James Gunn... The soundtrack for his superhero action-adventure film THE SUICIDE SQUAD."A movie to me is two things," Gunn says, "Picture and sound. It's how you put those two things together that help tell a story and hopefully move an audience. So, music is incredibly important!" THE SUICIDE SQUAD (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack), which Gunn calls his 'curated mix tape' matches the energy of a story about a collection of the most degenerate delinquents in the DC lineup, featuring everything from 50's swing (Louis Prima's 'Just A Gigolo / I Ain't Got Nobody (And Nobody Cares For Me) - Medley') to 80's punk rock (Jim Carroll Band's 'People Who Died') to modern Samba Pop and Brazillian Hip-Hop (Ceú's 'Samba Na Sola' and Drik Barbosa's 'Quem Tem Joga' respectively), alongside classics by Kansas, Pixies and Johnny Cash, alongside a handful of today's rising stars like grandson and Jessie Reyez; in addition to their own songs, the latter two even perform the duet "Rain" which was written specifically for the film. Combined, you have the next best thing to a curated playlist from the master of mix-tapes.
