Lakeshore Records release the various artists companion album for the comic book series Wednesday. Wednesday tells the story of a young girl named “Wednesday” who is dissatisfied with her life hiding under a scrap yard. On the eve of her sixteenth birthday, Wednesday’s father is kidnapped by bounty hunters. To save him, Wednesday ventures into the unknown with her only friends; sock monkeys Manny, Moe and Jack. Armed with only her wits and driving a 1970 Plymouth Barracuda, Wednesday must overcome bandits, killer robots and a deadly assassin from the past... The soundtracks for Wednesday represent an interesting experiment. Two albums have been released to capture the essence of the story and provide further atmosphere to the comic book series. Personally, I think it's an impressive undertaking that adds another layer to the immersive experience of reading the comics, and both this various artists soundtrack and the score really show the attention to detail that the project's creators have gone to for their fans. The album opens with the previously released single 'K So'. probably the oddest choice from this album for a single release, as it's easily one of the weaker tracks on offer. The album contains 13 tracks (44 min, 08 sec) with personal favourite tracks including 'Hunt You Down' (Geno Lenardo feat. Nina Bergman) and a cover of Heart's 'Barracuda' (Geno Lenardo feat. Mlny). There's a definite '80s vibe running through this album. It's an enjoyable soundtrack, but I have to admit that, on balance, I found the score slightly more rewarding.
