The Crow: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack

3 1/2

This was the first CD I ever purchased and revisiting it reminds me of what a treat some of this soundtrack was. The first half especially shines, offering mostly unreleased or rare tracks of good quality. Once Rollins band kicks off though the steady stream of metal recedes into more generic alternative and industrial territory, though the album ends on a mellow female vibe. The disc is well-rounded and has enough good songs by reputable, diverse alternative groups to seek out, but a weaker second side prevents this soundtrack from becoming truly great.

BOOO YEAH!!! If you havent heard this album...you wanna of have!!! 5*
the cure, nine inch nails, rage against machine...and so many others!
If you put this on you want to move to a gothem type city, jump out a window and reak havoc on anyone who pissed you off in the past!!!

It will pick you up, smash you down, grind your face into the concrete, and then take you on a motorcycle ride at 120mph through the night.

One of the best Soundtracks in history. A perfect match for a perfect film !

Well, I have to say this is easily one of the best soundtracks of all time. It really is an assembly of remarkable bands and some of which are well under the mainstream radar. Another added bonus is that many of these tracks are previously unreleased, and each one shows each respective band at the top of their game. Nine Inch Nails covering Joy Division? Are you kidding me? How amazing is that? All in all this is a stellar soundtrack, one I can pretty much enjoy from beginning to end. I must reiterate just how splendid I find it to have top name acts like Nine Inch Nails, The Cure, and Pantera alongside virtually unknown (except in the industrial world) acts like Machines of Loving Grace and My Life With the Thrill Kill Kult. An interesting mix of bands for sure, but fortunately for me I can appreciate it all.
