Here are some customer reviews of Ocean's Eleven : I bought this after seeing this entertaining movie---it's a lot better than the critics are saying---and have never been more disappointed in a cd purchase. I immediately wished I'd bought it somewhere with a liberal return policy instead of a store going out of business because I would have taken it back after listening to the first track. Why? Dialogue excerpts over most of the music and a wretched, out-of-place, rap tune almost off the top. There should be a warning sticker on this (and any) soundtrack that has dialogue excerpts so people know what they're buying. Very disappointed. David Holmes rocks! The soudtrack adds a lot to the ultra hip atmosphere of the movie. The dialogue is a bit of a shame. It worked better on Out of Sight and on this album it's just a bit too much. It still works occasionally, but sometimes it's just destroying the cool music. And my final disappointment: why isn't the main title music on the cd? That track is super cool! All in all, a very good soundtrack, but this one could have been 5 stars. The music on this cd is excellent, especially the DAvid Holmes score, which is what I bought it for. Some good other songs, like the Handsome Boy Modeling school track, but the dialogue on this disc is unnecessary. I don't know why soundtrack albums have this - if I wanted to hear the dialogue I would buy the DVD. I'm particulary disappointed in this feature since I did not like the film very much. Overall, I still highly recommend this disc for the groovy, jazzy Vegas inspired tunes. unlike other reviews on this page ,,, i find the dialogue between tracks does work ... i find it recreates the mood ,,, and i bought this album long before i saw the movie !! i purchased this album with confidence knowing i have never been dissapointed with holmes work in the past ,, ( i thought lets get killed was ingenius ) .. on this album holmes sticks to a formula that worked so well on " out of sight " by using his own tracks in tandem with the likes of perry como and elvis .... Steven Soderbergh has done it again! I loved the soundtrack to Out of Sight and this one is just as good and even longer. I love the way he includes dialogue from the film in the soundtrack, it reminds me of the movie and helps set the mood. The songs are mostly the background music from the movie - no lyrics, and fairly repetative, but the definately capture the mood of the film. There's a good mix of catchy, upbeat tunes and more mellow tracks. There are also a few good songs w/lyrics that span a range of genres from hip hop (Handsome Boy Modeling School) to rock and roll (Elvis's "A Little Less Conversation")to classical (Clair de Lune). If you loved the movie (and especially if you are a fan of Soderbergh in general) you should love this soundtrack.
