5/10

The soundtrack of The River Rat perfectly captures the sense of adventure and mystery present in the novel. The use of folk instruments and melodies gives the music a rustic and authentic feel, transporting the listener to the banks of the Mississippi River alongside Jess and the River Rat. The soundtrack effectively enhances the emotional depth of the story and adds a layer of richness to the overall experience.

6/10

While the soundtrack of The River Rat is undoubtedly atmospheric and evocative, it may lack variety in its musical themes. The repetitive use of certain motifs throughout the soundtrack can make it feel monotonous at times, detracting from the overall impact of the music. A greater diversity in musical styles and themes could have added more depth and complexity to the soundtrack, enhancing the storytelling and emotional resonance of the novel.
