| | Crow Soundtrack CD (7 Customer Reviews)
Like his father, kung fu master Bruce Lee, Brandon Lee's untimely death was shrouded in controversy and mystery. Again like his father, Brandon Lee's death catapulted him into the realm of myth before THE CROW was even completed.
What remains is a movie shrouded in its own myths and ambiguities, a post-modern comic book anti-hero brought to life in a gothic noir world of vengeance and peril. The atmospheric menace of THE CROW has been compared favorably to the first BATMAN movie, but for fans of movie soundtracks, THE CROW soars miles above its competition.
Because this is a rock and roll soundtrack that rings out with powerful snippets of tunes by some of the leading lights on the alternative scene, and functions as a powerful rock compilation in its own right. Nine Inch Nails' "Dead Souls" perfectly captures the tone of an anti-hero back from the dead to seek revenge, while the Cure's "Burn" and the Violent Femmes' "Color Me Once" impart a moody spiritual character to Brandon Lee's enigmatic hero. As for the more visceral action sequences, Rollins Band's "Ghostrider," Helmet's "Milktoast" and (especially) Pantera's "The Badge" provide an appropriately manic edge to fill out THE CROW's persona.
Producers include: Robert Smith & Bryan "Chuck" New, Machines Of Loving Grace, Brendan O'Brien, Trent Reznor, Rage Against The Machine.
Engineers include: Bryan "Chuck" New, Nick Didia, Trent Reznor.Rolling Stone (7/14/94, p.104) - 3 Stars - Good - "...the album offers more of a twist of the radio dial (on the alternative side) than any coherent enjoyment..." Crow Soundtrack Music Review Average Rating: (4.9 out of 5 stars)   List All Reviews Awesome tracks...
One of the better soundtracks out there with awesome bands like the Cure, Nine Inch Nails, The Cure and Rage Against the Machine. There are a few "skip-over" songs in my opinion, but far fewer than a lot of rock soundtracks. Industrial metal prevails for the most part.

If you liked the movie, you will love the soundtrack. This has been one of my favorite albums since I was kid. It's timeless. It has every type of music you would want to hear. There is a song for everyone. Its also very moving.

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No Three songs you must own
This soundtrack is a must-have, simply for three songs.
"Burn" by Robert Smith and The Cure. This is, in my opinion, the best song he's ever written. Take Heavy metal, mix it with Pop and sprinkle with Opera.
"Dead Souls" by Nine Inch nails. Awesome metal riff, from a very under-rated band.
"Darkness" by Rage Against the Machine. Not available anywhere else, and pure Rage. Not to be missed if you loevd their debut album, and who didn't?
Buy this album right now.

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No I Love The Crow
THE CROW is the best movie known to man kind, and the fact that someone dies trying to please people, and do a exellent job. BRANDON LEE is missed greatly and deeply by not only his family, but big fans too. he shall always hold a place in my heart, and I know he will hold one in yours too.
