5/5 The Assassination of Jesse James

It's a great soundtrack. The music features largely in the movie and the soundtrack takes you right there.

5/5 A haunting and truly origional soundtrack
  by Elijah Muller
Nick Cave and Warren Ellis have crafted a score that will haunt you and make you think about the characters rise and fall. As Bernard Hermann once said, "A score should carry the emotions when nothing is being said". these composers have done just that.

These two epic composers also collaborated on The Proposition, which if you decide to buy this album I recommend this film as well.

2/5 Can't stand on its own.
  by Leon Miller (New Orleans, Louisiana)
A disappointment. I looked forward to this CD because within the movie, the music combined with the images to evoke a post-Civil War American West that was both beautiful and stark (the movie, by the way, was beautiful, breathtaking and compelling, an amazing feat of movie-making). Without the cinematography, however, the music is thin and wan. This is an example of how music can work together with cinematography to create a beautiful whole, but without the movie to support it, it often can't hold up on its own.

5/5 Stands on its own...

With or without having seen the movie, this soundtrack stands on its own. Deep, intense, moody, oddly uplifting. If you've seen the movie, your listening experience can only be enhanced. If you haven't, you'll surely want to. "Rather Lovely Thing," "Another Rather Lovely Thing," and "What Happens Next" are my favorite tracks, but each cut has the power to draw you in and hold you there until the next arrives. Buy it. You won't regret it.
