Soundtrack

Rating: 8/10 (16 April 2013)

The soundtrack to Pitch Perfect is a flawless blend of many different musical genres turned a Capella. The energetic Please Don't stop the Music by Rihanna was knocked out of the park by the all male group, the Treble Makers. The Barden Bellas, the all female protagonist group, has a very hackneyed and repetitive line up throughout the movie. The audience, the judges, and even the majority of the Barden Bellas end up tired with their routine. The Trebles keep bringing one high energy performance after another. The Bellas do not show any of this energy till the Riff Off. The Riff Off is the peak of the Pitch Perfect soundtrack. In this scene the four groups face off in a competitive, categorized knock out singing competition. The selection of songs go from Pat Benatar to Dr Dre. The way the groups riff off of each other in the Riff Off is phenomenal. All in all, there is a wide range of music and a mastery of a Capella is demonstrated by all groups in this movie.
