3001135, These songs sound 'muted' but in a good way

If we think back on great song placement in movies, very few of them intercut into the narrative themselves are bangers or great, anthemic songs.

As a collection songs these aren't awe-inspiring but I'm sure they'll have different meaning and impact based upon the context of the movie.

Based on bwood's post about the song that is intercut into the movie, some of these songs are there to establish a mood and not take away from the viewing experience.

If that's the case, the soundtrack will have to be judged as a soundtrack to the movie and not a soundtrack in the '90s movie sense, ie, an album that works better as a standalone project than as a means to support a movie narrative.
