Yeah, I always found it sort of underwhelming!
You obviously weren't high enough.
It totally works if you are super high.
It works though the same way that I will think I made some masterpiece of music while being super high and then when I listen the next day sober it is just 4 bars of total shit. It still sounded like a masterpiece in the moment. Marijuana is amazing at finding and grafting meaning on to things that aren't really there or just totally ordinary.
I think it syncs very well to the point that it is so hard to believe it's a coincidence - there are so many points where it lines up. It is NOT a soundtrack for the movie. It does not have the same themes as the movie.
It was an urban legend. Slight disagreements about which lion roar to start the album on. Reasons why each song correlated to the events on screen, etc.
I thought there were some coincidences, but hardly worked as a soundtrack.
