Dazed and Confused is a lazy comedy about growing up stoned in the '70s. Appropriately, the soundtrack is filled with eight-track anthems, from
Black Sabbath's "Paranoid" and
Foghat's "Slow Ride" to
Sweet's "Fox on the Run." In fact, with its abundance of disposable classics, the music captures the spirit of the decade better than the movie itself. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide
