I found the following on CD Universe's site:

----

Original score by David Arnold.

Contains 13 tracks.

Let's get one important fact out of the way at the beginning. No, the Blue
Oyster Cult song isn't on here. If you don't know what that means, it won't
matter anyway, and we can continue. What you do get is what amounts to a
rock and roll collection of oddities. Roots-rock heroes the Wallflowers
cover "Heroes" by David Bowie, possibly the least rootsy rock performer ever
to grace the planet. Led Zeppelin's "Kashmir," one of the sacred texts of
the denim-jacketed goon squads who went around chanting "disco sucks" in the
'70s, is source material for "Come With Me" featuring the studio talents of
(who else?) Puffy Combs. Ben Folds Five contribute a song called "Air," and
we can't help but think that the surreal quality of this neo-moster flick
soundtrack would be made complete by the inclusion of a song by French duo
Air called "Ben Folds Five."

Their reviewer seems to have the right attitude!
