  Kill Bill Volume 1 (soundtrack) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Kill Bill: Volume 1 OST is the soundtrack to the first volume of the two-part Quentin Tarantino film, Kill Bill.
First released on September 23, 2003, it reached #45 on the Billboard 200 album chart and #1 on the soundtracks chart.

 BBC NEWS | Entertainment | Film | Review: Kill Bill Volume 2
Originally, Kill Bill was supposed to be just one film - but thank goodness the decision was made to release it as two rather than slash it in the editing room.
Volume 1 was a film that really split its audiences between those that loved it and saw it as another feather in Tarantino's cap, and those that detested it.
Kill Bill Vol.2 is very different from the first film in that it has much more character development and much less blood.

 DVD Talk Review: Kill Bill: Volume 2
And as the extended, self-congratulatory credit sequence rolled at the end of Volume 2, I sat back in my seat and came to a difficult conclusion: Although Tarantino proved himself in the first film to be a master of eastern allusion and parody, his attempts to go western just aren't as successful.
Volume 2 is filled with moments that overstay their welcome, and you might defend them by acknowledging Tarantino's desire to emulate the drawn-out, wide-open sequences of some Leone epic, perhaps Once Upon a Time in the West, but there's a vital difference between Leone's practiced, deconstructionist studies and Tarantino's masturbatory excess.
Tarantino maintains that "Volume 1 is the questions, and Volume 2 is the answers." Actually, he spends good deal of time explaining his intentions (perhaps overly so), also stating that the first film sets the mythology, and the second lets you get to know the characters.

 Kill Bill 2 review - movie review of the Quentin Tarantino film starring Uma Thurman Kill Bill: Volume 2
After the martial art oriented first episode, Tarantino has clearly defined the second volume of his epic as a western whose roots are obviously in Italy but also in classic American cinema—see the shot of the Bride going out of the door that is reminiscent of John Ford’s The Searchers.
The filmmaker’s signature is omnipresent in Kill Bill 2, which is a real drama with guts and humor, in the tradition of Pulp Fiction.
Volume 1 was a fun exercise, Volume 2 probably the most exciting guilty pleasure of these last few years, but Kill Bill, the complete version, is definitively a masterpiece of genre cinema.

While Kill Bill: Volume 2 does not redeem its garbage predecessor, and indeed falls into many of the same pitfalls, it almost works as a domestic tragedy played against the backdrop of samurai swords and western shoot ‘em ups.

Volume 2 surprised me. It doesn't nearly have the same level of violence or bloodspilling (though there is some) but what it does is flesh out the characters and their relationships.
The reason for this is, as Tarantino himself has stated, Kill Bill isn't in the same "universe" as Pulp Fiction or Jackie Brown.
He stated somewhere (link?) that this film was set in "the movie world" and the other films are in "Tarantino world." Basically, Kill Bill is the kind of movie that people in "Tarantino world" would go to see, hence the self-conscously artificial dialogue and effects.
