1. There is lots of silly humor and broad farce in the film accompanying this soundtrack, and I think composer Rachel Portman did a great job of capturing that, for example with the opening tracks on this CD. Some of the tracks are extremely repetitious therefore monotonous, and so, leave the impression that the music was written for the film only, with little or no thought given to the fact that it would be released as a CD soundtrack as well. But there are enough good tunes here for 4 stars, and it's definately worthwhile. I'm especially fond of Canzonetta (track 7), Daddy (track 10), Where the Spirits Soar (track 19), and Rigoletto (track 22). An added bonus and bit of hilarity is provided by the fact that between each track there are brief excerpts of dialogue from the movie that will make you laugh out loud :)))

2. Light, funny and very enjoyable. Quirky sounds, melodies and instrumentation, combined with funny snippets of dialogue (usually a dreary addition to any OST) make this a worthy listen.

1. Excelente disco. Despues de ver la pelicula corri al computador a ver si estba disponible la banda sonora y me encontre con la grata sorpresa de que asi era... pero, en la pelicula aparecen muchas otras canciones tan buenas e incluso algunas mejores que no aparecen.. donde esta Foo Fighters, AC/DC e incluso Ozzy, que pese a aparecer en la pelicula no figura en el disco?? Sin embargo sigue siendo un muy bueno disco para los que gustan del ROCK!



2. This cd was tight! Disturbed, Linkin Park, P.O.D., and Cypress Hill make this a great rock cd. Theres only one problem... Why the heck is Filter on it?!! They aren't a rock band! Other than that, It's 2 big thumbs up



3. When I saw Little Nicky in the theatres, I thought to myself, "This movie's got some pretty good music! Maybe I'll buy the soundtrack." I did, but I stupidly forgot to look at the tracklist. Nearly HALF of the songs from the movie aren't on here! Ironically, the songs that were omitted are the BEST ONES OF ALL. Read on to see what you don't get on it.

   Ozzy Osbourne - Flying High Again, Mama I'm Coming Home, No More Tears
   Stampeders - Sweet City Woman
   Chicago - Does Anybody Really Know What Time It Is, Saturday In The Park
   Scorpions - Rock You Like A Hurricane
   Dandy Warhols - Bohemian Like You
   Van Halen - Runnin' With The Devil
   ACDC - Highway To Hell
   Foo Fighters - Everlong
   There are also Zebrahead and Lit tracks missing

   The omissions of the above tracks is inexcusable, but still, the rest of the soundtrack DOES whip out some pretty good modern rock. The Linkin Park track, Points Of Authority, is a great example of this. Likewise, you get a remix of Disturbed's Stupify you can't get anywhere else (to my knowledge.) This is a good soundtrack overall, but if you plan to buy it, make sure it's got the song(s) you want!




4. I bought this soundtrack after seeing the movie Little Nicky a bunch of times, and I thought to myself that it seemed like some songs were missing. After checking on the Internet, I found out that I was right! A bunch of great rock songs from the past (like "Running With The Devil" and "Highway to H*ll") were in the movie, but not on the soundtrack! Also, there are a couple of recent songs from the movie that aren't on the CD either. But, I do like this CD. Linkin Park's "Points of Authority", POD's "School of Hard Knocks" and Cypress Hill's "(Rock) Superstar" are my favorite songs. I also like "Cave" by Muse, "When Worlds Collide" by Powerman 5000 and "Pardon Me" by Incubus are really good. All in all, I recommend this CD to people who like rock/metal and the movie Little Nicky.



5. Here is a compilation full of wellknowns and a few unknowns. Most people (like one of the featured reviews mentions) are unaware of the British rock band Muse who contributes their track "Cave" at #10 on this cd. The track is off their 1999 album "Showbiz" which is a musthave for any rock fan.

   all in all, its an amazing cd!
