Soundtracks for the Road – Mad Max: Fury Road

For a movie that can be summed up as one long, incredible car chase, Mad Max: Fury Road has a soundtrack that fits dangerously well into your commute. I say dangerous because these are not pleasant, hum-along tracks but rather bouts of intense percussion, strings, and electronic pounding that should be used cautiously in your car, lest you find yourself zipping in and out of lanes as the highway you speed across becomes the barren desert and the jerk-off behind you on their phone is an approaching War Boy. There is content in the soundtrack that leans towards the more emotional parts of the film, as well as some ambient background filler to the scenes, which does seem to dampen the fun, but overall this is a bit of fun on the highway.
