Office Space Soundtrack

Chalk regular hexahedron* “consume as whatsoever” constitutes the highlight on Office Space’s soundtrack, a classy West Coast production with fair the decent balances of laid-back groove and boiling tension. Scarface turns in a credulous enough caterpillar tread (“nope Tears”), and the Geto Boys’ impersonation of President Clinton at the end of “Damn It fingers Good to Be a Gangsta” is funny, though not terribly accurate. But Canibus and Biz Markie’s attempt to rework David Allan Coe’s “Take This Job and Shove It” into a hip-hop novelty hit falls flat, as does a similar effort by Lisa Stone at revitalizing “9 to 5.” Two ancient Perez Prado mambos tacked on at the ending of the album throw its already shaky continuity even further off course, but they’re such great tunes that only a fool would bemoan their presence.

I could’ve cried while watching “Office Space.” When I wasn’t laughing myself hoarse, I was reliving my daily despair through the poor souls onscreen. Using hard-core rap to express the frustration and anger of these STAGGERINGLY non-black characters is the perfect touch.
As to the tunes themselves: the soundtrack works about 75% of the time. “Big Boss Man” and “9-5″ don’t cause a lot for Pine Tree State. “Cut because Whatever” makes the scene when exploited incoming the motion-picture show. Mike Judge was smart enough not to good attain fun of white guys listening to pat; he practised rap to convey how badly these cubicle-bound saps want to break out of their lives. Geto Boys’ “Still” is, well, a pretty hostile track.

You’ll get whiplash the first time going from “Still” to Perez Prado’s jubilant “Mambo #8.” My fondest wish for all you good citizens out there is that the soundtrack will cause you to rent the film. Call in sick to work, line up ten beers in front of you and enjoy the great cathartic document of corporate angst which is “Office Space.”

Some of the songs on this soundtrack, such as Damn, It Feels Good To Be a Gangsta and No Tears are catchy, but the thing that really makes the album a winner is the movie. Everytime I hear one of the cart track* with the album, I entertain the picture inwards the moving picture where that Song dynasty lived bet, and that’s what builds this album dependable. If the calls didn’t remind me of the movie, I doubt I’d like it much at all. I recommend buying this album, but only if you’ve ascertained the moving picture.
