What We Do In The Shadows Soundtrack

Okay, let's talk about something truly important: the What We Do in the Shadows soundtrack.

And yes, I have some opinions. Maybe even some controversial ones. Prepare yourself.

The Obvious Masterpieces

First, let's acknowledge the obvious. The show nails the spooky vibe.

The use of classical music? Inspired. Think dramatic organ music when Nandor's just trying to open a jar of pickles.

It's comedic gold, and the music is half the joke. Who doesn't love some good ol' gothic drama?

The juxtaposition of ancient, creepy sounds with mundane, modern problems? Perfect.

The Underrated Gems

But here's where I get a little...passionate. There are some musical choices that fly under the radar.

I'm talking about those moments where the show uses a *slightly* less obvious track. Think some deep cut from a library music album.

Those moments are absolute genius. They're subtle, but they build atmosphere. A creeping dread with a hint of cheese.

Those tracks really elevate the whole show. You gotta listen closely to appreciate them.

My Unpopular Opinion (Brace Yourselves!)

Now for my truly controversial take. Ready?

Sometimes, the original songs *aren't* the best parts. I know, I know! Blasphemy!

The songs written specifically for the show are funny, of course. But sometimes, they can be a little...on the nose?

Like, we *get* it, Matt Berry singing a silly song is hilarious. It's him being Matt Berry.

But sometimes, I crave that understated brilliance. That slightly-off, vaguely European vibe.

The Cover Songs: A Mixed Bag

And what about the cover songs? They're...interesting.

Some of them are fantastic. A weird, synth-y version of a classic rock song during a vampire orgy? Yes, please!

Others? Well, let's just say they don't always land. It really depends on the song choice and the arrangement.

When they work, they really work. When they don't...well, there's always the next scene.

The Sound Design Deserves Love, Too!

Let's not forget about the sound design. It's amazing.

The creaking doors, the fluttering of bat wings, the hushed whispers... it's all so effective.

The sound design makes the What We Do in the Shadows world feel real. Well, as real as a vampire comedy can feel.

In Conclusion: It's Bloody Brilliant

Okay, unpopular opinions aside, the What We Do in the Shadows soundtrack is phenomenal.

It's funny, creepy, and surprisingly sophisticated. It perfectly complements the show's unique tone.

So, next time you're watching, pay close attention to the music. You might discover a new favorite track. You could start by checking out the music cues from Tunefind

Or you might just agree with my unpopular opinion. Either way, happy listening!

Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go listen to some obscure library music and pretend I'm a vampire.
