I disagree. Personally, I'm the type of person that likes to know an artist's songs in order to get the most out of a concert experience. So in that sense, I felt that in knowing most of the soundtrack from listening to the Swell Season album gave me a greater appreciation for the music and a fresh look at the songs. (The songs are slightly different in the movie, a little more stripped down) Also they dialog was difficult for me to follow at times with the "heavy" (heavy being relative in this sense) accents, so knowing the music helped guide me that much farther, by knowing it before hand.
But as I said, it was personal preference.
