Warning: the following review is rated R for language, a scene of sexuality and drug use, and intense sequences of terror and violence. Oh yeah, and there’s a slight possibility of motherf***** snakes on the motherf***** plane!

Ok, there is no way that a soundtrack based off the motion picture Snakes On A Plane could possibly be conventional or predictable in any way. If it was, I would have been disappointed. This album reflects its namesake in many ways.

First off, though the film primarily is drawing the attention of the college age crowd, Snakes On A Plane: The Album comes off across as more of a record designed to appeal to the middle school age demographic. Most of the album is purely disposable pop/rock, but in its defense most of it is pretty good pop/rock.

It should be noted that according to the track list, many numbers here are remixes. That quite honestly meant nothing to me, as I had never heard any of these songs previously. Even the bands featured were nothing more than fuzzy recollections in my head.
