Description

Mutant, in partnership with Sony Pictures Television and Prime Video, proudly presents The Best of The Boys, a three-disc vinyl collection celebrating the hit series, featuring an original score by Emmy Award-winning composer Christopher Lennertz and Matt Bowen and original songs performed by the cast, liner notes by the cast and crew, and original artwork by Matt Ryan Tobin.

“The greatest joy of The Boys comes from its stranger-than-fiction alternate reality where superheroes exist, but just about everything else about our world remains the same. Because of that, the world of music in The Boys universe, both diegetic and non-diegetic, is so compelling,” says Mo Shafeek, co-founder of Mutant. “What Christopher Lennertz, Matt Bowen, and their incredible collaborators have done for five seasons is worthy of celebration. We at Mutant are honored to bring the musical world of The Boys into the real world.”

"This show is fucked up,” says artist Matt Ryan Tobin. ”It has me grossed out and recoiling one second, convulsing with laughter the next, before eventually ripping my heart out and bringing me to tears; and repeat. I can't think of another show that recklessly toys with your emotions so much, yet so well. The music really pilots all of these emotions, and masterfully so."

Across its five-season run, The Boys developed a bold and ever-evolving sonic identity, with its original score playing a crucial role in shaping the emotional and narrative scope of the series.

"We've spent five seasons building a musical identity for this show, and the Best of The Boys vinyl is a love letter to that evolution,” says composers Christopher Lennertz and Matt Bowen. “Curating the collection was like watching the entire series again through the music alone — you can hear the score grow up, get darker, get weirder, and find its identity over five seasons. But Season 5 is where all of that paid off. Everything we learned over the life of this show — every instinct, every risk — we poured into this final chapter. The score has never been this big, this emotional, or this relentless, and we think the Season 5 soundtrack captures the most ambitious work we've done for the series — the tension is sharper, the emotional swings are bigger, and the music goes to places we never would have attempted in earlier seasons. It's the most complete and fearless work we've done on the show, and we think it's the score this finale deserved."

In addition to its sweeping score, The Boys has become known for its standout original songs, performed by the cast and woven directly into the fabric of the show’s storytelling. Each season pushed these musical moments further, blending satire, character, and spectacle into unforgettable set pieces that helped define the series’ most iconic moments. One of the most celebrated originals is the Emmy Award-winning, “Let’s Put the Christ Back in Christmas,” performed by Shoshana Bean, Andrew Rannells, James Monroe Iglehart, and Christopher Lennertz.

Along with original songs, the track features covers including Karen Fukuhara’s take on “Dream a Little Dream,” and Jensen Ackles’ never-before-released cover of “Rapture.”
