Rating: Summary: Great music, A+ Review: Great soundtrcks are hard to find these days, but this one sure takes the cake. What can I say, it had wonderful music, including Heroes by the Wall Flowers, and my personal fav. Come with Me, by Puff Daddy
Rating: Summary: No way Review: If I was Jimmy Page and Puff Daddy comes up to me and says, "Hey, how bout totally messing with and screwing up one of the best songs you've ever written?" I would most definitely not say yes. The music on this disc is not only bad, but the whole alternative scene has gone down the tubes. The "rock stars" attempt songs, then add distortion and lyrics you can't understand. And on top of that, a bad movie. Don't buy this cd. Page and Bowie don't the deserve the money, unless you're buying the classic stuff.
Rating: Summary: Yeeaaahhhhh! Kick-@$$ Review: At first I only bought this CD because it had "Heroes" but I was surprised to find out that there were other good songs on it too! "Heroes" is totally kick-@$$ and other songs that I like are "Untitled", "A320", and "Air." The movie was pretty sucky, but you've GOT to get this CD. Or just get the single of "Heroes" cos it kicks @$$. THE WALLFLOWERS RULE!
Rating: Summary: Godzilla Kix Review: I thought this was a pretty good CD, although Macy Day Parade and Undercover are a bit weird. My favorite songs on the CD are- Deeper Underground, No Shelter, and Untitled.
Rating: Summary: Roaring rock for boys under 16 Review: All the cuts are fine, but stop and give FUEL's WALK THE SKY your best ears. It kicks.
Rating: Summary: Some gems, some sacrilege Review: It's one thing for a band to cover a lesser known song of one of their influences, or to reinvent a famous song for their generation, whatever. Its another thing entirely for some no-talent hack like Sean Combs to lay some "Oooh-yeah"s over a tune as immortal as Kashmir (twisted into "Come With Me") and call it a song. Combs wouldn't know a good song if it hit him in the face, or, more accurately, if someone else wrote it. Puffy's cover is nothing more than a limp-wristed marketing grab. Musically, it is a complete waste.The same goes somewhat for the Wallflowers shoddy attempt at Bowie's "Heroes." Bowie is a god, and as good as Jakob may one day be, the younger Dylan is simply not yet worthy of touching this brilliant piece of Bowie/Eno work. The rest of the album is typical soundtrack fodder, with the notable exception being Rage Against the Machine's invigorating "No Shelter," almost strong enough on its own to justify buy! ! ing this album.
Rating: Summary: Puff Daddy & Jimmy Page Rule!!! Review: Puff Daddy & Jimmy Page are the rulers of this album but you can't forget the Waliflowers and Green and all the other artists!!!
Rating: Summary: WE WANT IFUKUBE! Review: A real Godzilla soundtrack would contain the work of Akira Ifukube, the creator of the tremendous original Godzilla music. This is a bunch of pop crap nonsense, none of which have anything to do with the film just as the film has nothing to do with Godzilla. Only Arnold's tracks have any merit, and if you buy this album, you are sending the unfortunate message that original orchestral soundtracks should be downplayed in favor of marketing gimmicks of pop-schlock in no way related to the film. WAIT FOR THE REAL SOUNDTRACK RELEASED LATER THIS SUMMER!
Rating: Summary: A disappointment, and here's why: Review: Let's face facts. Lots of well-known bands/singers on the Godzilla Album, but many of them were horribly mainstream, which explains the pitiful quality of many of the songs. The only actually decent songs on that entire CD are RATM's No Shelter and Silverchair's Untitled. O yeah, and DOTN's Running Knees is alright. Otherwise, though, the songs just weren't what they should've been. Many artists on that CD have gone so mainstream, their song quality has really diminished...although most performers on that CD are just plain bad. All in all, a major letdown. Is it worth the 3 good songs? With the lack of singles...still debatable.
Rating: Summary: Great mix of everything Review: this cd is a great mix of artists and songs. heroes is a great song, come with me is a great song, deeper underground is a great song - i dont like much from jamiroquai but this song is perfect, rage against the machine i dont like much though, air is pretty good, running knees is cool, macy day parade isnt too good, walk the sky is great, A320 is pretty cool, brain stew is also perfect,untitled isnt too good out there is ok, undercover is really cool, and is the orchestra songs are orchestra songs so, ya know AN ALL AROUND GREAT CD - MUST BUY
