The
soundtrack
to the sequel for
Eddie & the Cruisers
follows the basic blueprint of
John Cafferty
's songs for the first film -- they're all high-energy, pounding three-chord
rock & roll
, sounding a bit like
Bruce Springsteen
or
Bob Seger
. There may not be a song as good as
"The Dark Side,"
but the music is still enjoyable for hardcore fans of the original. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine
