Bottom line, this cd is what it is: a compilation of songs that were selected to enhance and render the scenes of a funny, dense, stylish movie. As a soundtrack, this cd works well if you've already seen the movie. It basically offers a sonic overview of how the scenes and twists sequence out and how the movie progresses. By the time the third or fourth track comes around, you feel the same way you would if you were watching the movie (provided it speaks to you). As an album, it proves to be a little less efficient because the selection is both so precise and yet so erratic. Whereas I find it absolutely awesome to have someone remind me of how great Sonic Youth is (by ways of exclusive records or oddities), I do find it somewhat tiresome after a while to listen to prepubescent gals with raspy, innocent voices singing about infatuation, best friends, rabbit suits, and nerdy boys. All in all, this is a really good soundtrack, one that goes hand in hand with an equally unique and pleasant flick, but it struggles to sound like a cohesive compilation. Still, give it a try just in case it fits you.Read full review
Now in America people imagine the music of the century as Rap, pop, and R&B. After watching Juno you realize another version of music that is hard to describe. In a couple words I would say its relaxing and simple. No fancy beat, just simple and relaxing music. The music is not for everyone but I think its a twist to the normal teen music. If you plan on buying the soundtrack, search around to hear clips of it before buying to make sure that you like it! I thought the music was worth the money. Once you recieve it, be prepared for an enjoyable suprise! After listening to all of it I would rate it an 8.5/10, but I would rate the movie a 10/10!
great movie, great collection of fun and quarky songs.

Went to the movies with my cousin Maria thought she was draging me to a real sleeper but "Juno" the movie was utterly opposite of my preconcieved notions, it was one of the greatest movies I had seen in a very long, long time. In addtion to the film "Juno" I was totally captured and amazed by the music. It had a folksy, serious and warm sound, kinda like down home to the heart of things, as I watched this great film I listen and loved this perfectly suited soundtrack. Much the music consists of songs with a couple of guitars, some simple instrumentations accompanied to great simple and natural voice lyrical singing. I am reminded that the music and the singing is like that of the historical 60s Hippy generation although in the form of contemporary "Free Love & Choice v. Politics", which also happens to be the movies theme. Of the 18 songs on the soundtrack I love 15, like two, and hate one. In my book thats a whopping 94.4% rating. It's a wonderful Soundtrack and worth its unique postion among my entire music collection. The only one really bad song on the CD was the mutilation of "Supertar" best done in my opinion by "The Carpenters". Although I must add the unsavory sound of the Superstar song does have a purpose in the movie. I thank the music director for his/ her selections of a unique wonderful and amazing compilation of the simplist of sounds, songs and voice, Love it!Read full review
