    It's a good soundtrack, but after the great first track, this sounds a bit understaffed. With some singers bands that despite doing a good job, in parallel, here, sounds like something soulless. And, at the last, don't show what the movie deserves

    Hits Elastic Heart; Gale Song; Devil May Cry; Place For Us.

    Silhouttes(Of Monsters And Men) and Atlas(Coldplay) are very good songs.! Didn't listen the rest. I will rate this 10 just cause those songs are too good. i don't care about the rest.

    I saw the movie today. One of the main things that made the movie great was this soundtrack. It kept me on the edge of my seat the whole time. It is great music.

    I really like this soundtrack! All the songs are in special mood and climat which is well connected to the films' plot. The best for me are: Lorde, Ellie Goulding, Coldplay, The Luminers and Santigold, but every track here has something special. The only song that I yet don't like is Patti Smith. I reccomend it for Catching Fire fans

    The album was exceptionally average. Some tracks like The Capitol were very upsetting and lowered the albums quality dramatically. 'Mirror' by Ellie Goulding, 'Elastic Heart', 'Atlas' were quite amazing with the sweet serenade ringing into my ears especially with mirror and atlas.

    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.
