Arrested Development soundtrack gets its much-vaunted release date, tracklist
After three months of badgering all who’d listen with the question “Are we good (in terms of a release date and tracklist for the Arrested Development soundtrack)?”, people who’ve alienated all of their friends and loved ones with this constant sputtering finally have the answers they’re looking for: “Yes—it’s coming out on November 19 and here’s a 42-song tracklist.” Working from the hundreds of pieces composer David Schwartz has prepared for the series, the album includes expected cuts like “It Ain’t Easy Being White” and “Big Yellow Joint,” as well as some equally memorable, though much more concise, musical bits like the “Mr. F” theme introduced in season three. Strangely, no selections from the original cast recording of The Trial Of Captain Hook made the cut, which—c’mon! We mean, should… should the… should the… should the soundtrack? Should the soundtrack? Should the soundtrack? Should the soundtrack to one of the funniest shows of the past 10 years exclude one of its funniest sound cues? C—c’mon.
There’s no “I” in “Full tracklist below,” at least not where you think.
