Once Soundtrack Review

For some reason the Zune Marketplace didn't have any of the soundtracks I was interested in. Plus, it was one of those days when I didn't want to listen to a whole album and I just wanted something new. It had to be a movie soundtrack. So I picked out the Once soundtrack. I liked the movie a lot so I thought that the same would hold true of the soundtrack, especially since the movie is all about music. However, the music was different than I remembered, not as mesmerizing. For me at least the music couldn't stand on it's own without the movie playing to back it up.
