    You thought that the soundtrack fitted the movie's theme but you're wrong once you watched the movie. Some of the tracks do not fit with the movie's theme, specifically its choice of genre and artists.
    While the soundtrack lack many highlights and it did not follow how good the previous soundtrack is, some of the tracks in The Hunger Games: Catching Fire Soundtrack should not be skipped    You thought that the soundtrack fitted the movie's theme but you're wrong once you watched the movie.

    While the soundtrack lack many highlights and it did not follow how good the previous soundtrack is, some of the tracks in The Hunger Games: Catching Fire Soundtrack should not be skipped without having a first listen at least and this soundtrack is a worth a buy for the fans of the trilogy.

    Highlight: Atlas and We Remain.
    Personal Favorites: Atlas and Elastic Heart.    … Expand

    I think all the singers are so amazing, but the songs aren't. All the songs are normal or quitly bad, 'Atlas' and 'Silhouettes' are the best ones, are very good, especially 'Atlas', they choice the best single to promote the film.

    The soundtrack of 'The Hunger Games: Catching Fire' is a collection of hits and misses but as a whole, represents an ambient companion to its featured film.

    The original movie had a definitive ending, unlike this sequel. I like to watch movies because they have an ending, not because they are a big preparation to the next part.

    I like the original more, and expected more out of this sequel.

    The album's old-guard pros sadly don't lend much more to the proceedings than their younger counterparts.

    Picked by music supervisor Alexandra Patsavas, the second volume has a lot of good makeout songs and just as many calls for courage.

    Phil Collins has retired, but his legacy endures in the new Hunger Games soundtrack, which channels his recipe for Eighties melodrama: synth strings, croaked vocals, crashing drums.
