Putting superheroes back in their place is a nasty business concern, and hither's every song providing a musical backdrop to that job in The Boys . Based on the comic books by Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson,The Boys presents an R-rated look at what would happen if superheroes existed in the modernistic real world of corporate influence and social media marketing only, fortunately, the story's titular quintet are on hand to "spank" any member of the spandex mob that strays out of line.

With such a raucous premise and a darkly comedic tone, it'southward no surprise thatThe Boys comes with an impressive and eclectic selection of tracks to provide a colorful soundtrack to the visual fun and wanton violence. From classic British 1970s punk to French hip hop via Christian soft rock,The Boys has a lot of aural bases covered, with the lyrics often adding a deeper layer of meaning to whatever is happening on screen at the respective moment.

Interspersed with a strong score past Christopher Lennertz that encompasses everything from pulsating and brooding action soundscapes to pieces that intentionally human activity as a pastiche of the stereotypical superhero picture show soundtrack, these selected songs at times add extra weight to the scenes they back-trail, and at other times put a juxtaposing slant on an otherwise grisly visual sequence.

Many of the songs also tie directly into certain characters. The smattering of British punk tunes pays homage to Billy Butcher's cockney upbringing, providingThe Boys with some of its upbeat, jauntier sounds, while Frenchie's rap tunes add together to the character'south hole-and-corner ethos and his clan with the metropolis'due south gangster contingent. Other songs, however, take an already funny scene and ramp up the hilarity with an exaggerated sense of drama and a wry grin.
