Arguably one of the more well-created soundtrack in the series, ''7'' takes ''6''[='=]s experimental nature UpToEleven, while still sounding incredibly fresh. It is also the third soundtrack in the series to have outside contributions, this time from a whole slew of artists signed to American electronic music label King Street Sounds.
