Movie soundtracks inevitably suffer from the limitations of the genre. One option is to pack your album full of tried and true, catchy tunes that have little to do with the film in question. On the other extreme, a filmmaker could commission a more tailored fit, usually VIA original instrumental compositions. The results in either case can vary from the extraordinary (the apropos songs of Trainspotting and Pulp Fiction, or the haunting instrumentals of Twin Peaks) to the banal (most others...

While it reflects the band's growth as they have learned to combine their unconventional instruments, Greatest Hits is surprisingly cohesive.

While it's not entirely convenient for cigar or cigarette smokers to go outside to get their fix, it's particularly difficult for pipe smokers, who must carry more paraphernalia than will fit into a carton of cigarettes.
