Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
US teen sitcom Malcolm in the Middle dispenses with canned laughter to foreground the soundtrack in the hands of John Flansburgh and John Lindell, aka indie radio rock darlings They Might Be Giants. In their imaginative care, all kinds of music plays in the show, though don't expect any of their instrumental score here. Surprisingly they only contribute two tracks, the bouncy main title song "Boss of Me", a noisier younger brother of The Rembrandts' theme from Friends, and "Older", which recaptures the eccentricity that probably won them the gig in the first place. Barenaked Ladies continue a similar groove while the Push Stars blend guitar rock with rap and jazz, leading to the full-on pop rap of "Citizen King". In a set that demonstrates how genre barriers are crumbling in the 21st-century postmodern pop melting pot, only the inclusion of "Smile" by Hanson seems an obvious sop to the mainstream chart. The 17 tracks wrap with "I Just Don't Care" by The Dust Brothers, featuring some tantalising samples from the Fox film archive--clue, they penned the Fight Club soundtrack. Sharp, upbeat and sometimes witty: after a decade of dance, electric guitars make a welcome return to a million teenage bedrooms. --Gary S Dalkin
