![Suicide Squad: It might have been, to put it politely, panned by critics, but the Suicide Squad soundtrack has gone down a storm. With original tracks from Grimes and Twenty One Pilots as well as a cover of ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ by Panic! At The Disco, it’s as bizarre and all-over-the-place as the film itself.
