That annoying guitar music was wel used for sum parts, but the whole way through,it just got ridiculous and made it seem like a comedy.
shareI thought the music was simply perfect. I kept waiting for the 5 second strumming to come back
Darkness lies an inch ahead
Listen to the powerful acoustic/electric guitar during the opening credits and then how it segues to the haunting dirge of electric guitar into the opening scene where William Blake is walking through images of death in the town of Machine. It's close to perfect.
shareFor me Neil Young's music was the best part of it.
shareWithout a doubt.
When I think of this film, three things come to mind:
1. Neil Young's music
2. The bizarro performance of Gary Farmer
3. Johnny Depp appearing more dead than alive

Neil Young improvised the music while watching and re-watching the film and playing along with it. So, the rhythm of the soundtrack highlights the rhythm of the film.
I'm sorry the Coen brothers don't direct the porn I watch. They're hard to get ahold of, okay?
That makes a lot of sense. Just watched the movie for the first time, caught my eye with the cast.
The music definitely went with the film, but I thought it got too loud at parts. It did enjoyably set the mood.

Candy is dandy, but liquor is quicker.
Totally agree. The Music was simply too loud at times.

agree, it was overused
so many movies, so little time
I came on this board to say the same thing! The music really ruined my enjoyment of a very unique, visually beautiful, and extremely well-acted movie. As I was watching it, I sat in dread of the next dissonant, ear-splitting chord that was about to assault my ear. And I normally like Neil Young.
