Editorial Review:
Musicologists looking for evidence of Neil Young's connection with the avant-garde likes of Sonic Youth need look no further than this uncompromising soundtrack to Jim Jarmusch's film Dead Man--the first post-punk western to make any sense at all. The music here is scattered and fragmentary, and performed mainly on electric guitar. Though Young's instrumental musings work well in the film, this soundtrack album will be of interest mostly to hardcore Young fanatics (for whom the feedback epic of "Weld" was too brief). The film's most accessible piece of music came during the opening credits, with Young blending acoustic and electric guitars to great dramatic effect. Unfortunately, it's not on this CD. Rent the video. --Steve Appleford
Dead Man Reviews:
Love it! 
2009-08-14 - Kudos to the person that shipped it to me! They wrapped it up well to make sure it wouldn't get cracked. The cd itself is in great condition and it's a wonderful soundtrack!
What's with the surf sound effects 
2009-08-10 - Great movie. Petty this sound track isn't from it - rather a self indulgent play around in the studio. The guy was no where near the sea until the last scene so why is there sea shore sound effects on EVERY track. Ruined what could be a great albulm. Buy the DVD instead and rip the music from there.
Dead Man
2009-05-23 - This is one of my most favorite movies ever.
A tribute to the American Dream at it's birth,
and the true progression of manifest destiny.
The cinematography is astounding,
the soundtrack impeccable,
and the acting sublime. Prepare to meet William
Blake at his finest, and his fearless companion,
Nobody.
Do you have any tobacco?
A load of rubbish from a great man !
2008-05-28 - O come on ! He's been given a thumbs up just because he's The Neil Young ? It's just simply boring and un-inspiring. Imagine the same exact score written/played by an unknown for a B-grade sci-fi flick, you'd think anyone cared ? No, right ? So do I. Period !
P.S - I had wanted to give a zero rating, but 1 is the minimum, hmmphh !
I should've read these reviews before buying 
2007-10-03 - A frustrating and disappointing edition of what should've been a great soundtrack. There's some great guitar-playing here, I admit, but the main theme (as featured in the film) is missing, the automotive sound effects are a weird and irrelevant toss-in, and one poem would've been plenty. The biggest drag is that I bought this CD for one song, and for whatever reason "they" didn't see fit to include it.
