Suckerpunch

So I haven't seen the movie yet, though it looks like a pretty wild, SFX laden explosion, but the soundtrack is pretty darn good. They took a bunch of songs and reworked them, doing them in a techno-anthem style that brings a different side of each song out. From "Tomorrow Never Knows" by the Beatles, to "White Rabbit" by Jefferson Airplane and "Sweet Dreams" by the Eurythmics, they really made some interesting versions of the songs that are both driving and haunting at the same time. The epic scale of the composition also creates a HUGE soundscape that I can only imagine perfectly fits the dynamic look of the film...Keep in mind that the songs actually accompany a movie here, so some of the songs are pretty long and change throughout...but they still make for a pretty awesome soundtrack.

Check out the opening scene featuring "sweet dreams"...pretty cool. not exactly family friendly FYI
