Based on the hit comic book about a man who returns from the dead to avenge his killers, the film adaptation of The Crow suffered a cruel irony when star Brandon Lee (son of martial arts superstar Bruce Lee) died during production after a bizarre onset accident. That event only deepened the film's aura of death and gothic unease, moods that are brilliantly underscored by this well-chosen collection of stark alt rock, dark metal, and industrial dirges. The opener, the Cure's typically angst-ridden "Burn," is about as sentimental as this album gets, bookended by Jane Siberry's wistful "It Can't Rain All the Time." Sandwiched in between is a virtual primer on powerful mid-1990s alt and industrial rock, from Nine Inch Nails hammering Joy Division's "Dead Souls" into its own image to the blistering snarl of Helmet, Pantera, and the Rollins Band. So-called pop-song scores often have a cheap afterthought feel to them; this one, a refreshingly integral part of the film itself, stands as a great album in its own right. --Jerry McCulley

 fantastic January 23, 2010

place this cd in your player, and let it play, you will play it over and over. I have the CD from 1993 still
Righteous music from a great movie (rock/grunge) January 23, 2010
David Masters (Wilton, NH)
Even if you have the DVD of The Crow, you'll want to get the soundtrack album. A great combination of grunge, industrial and alternative... it rocks. There are very few movie soundtracks that I'd recommend (Heavy Metal, The Matrix, and Mission Impossible 2 are others), but this is /definitely/ one of them.
The only two real disappointments with the CD are the fact that the song "Can't Rain All the Time" is not the version played by Hangman's Joke in the movie, but instead is some very mellow thing that sounds like it came out of Thelma & Louise rather than this movie. The other disappointment is that the rocking guitar work done by 'Eric' in the movie (on the roof, before the office fight) isn't included.
Other than that... a lot of great stuff to blow out your speakers with. Rage Against the Machine (their usual kick-butt anti-discrimination rants), Helmet (cranked up crunching), "Golgotha Tenement Blues" by Machines of Loving Grace (one of the most recognizable songs in the movie), the Christian rock of For Love Not Lisa ("Slip Slide Melting"), "Time Baby III" by Medicine (the live version in the movie is slightly better, but this is still decent), and the excellent zombie stomp energy of "After the Flesh" by My Life With the Thrill Kill Kult (my favorite song on the whole album... juiced up head banging).
There's the highland semi-monotone "Snakedriver" by The Jesus And Mary Chain, the egotistical "Dead Souls" by NIN (entirely written, performed and produced by Trent Reznor), "Burn" by The Cure (which could easily be the title track from the movie - probably the loudest thing they've ever done), and a fairly decent one from Stone Temple Pilots ("Big Empty"). The other three songs... personally I don't like Violent Femmes, Rollins Band or Pantera - but to each their own; you might like them.
Note that 99% of the songs on this album aren't available anywhere else - this is the only place you'll find them. Probably the only exception is Helmet... their song "Milquetoast" is also available on Betty. Everything else on this album is bloody unique.
If you like music that cranks, stuff that isn't the usual radio pablum and pop, then you'll want to grab this CD. Play it loud.
A must have soundtrack October 21, 2009

Excellent mix of songs in tribute to Brandon Lee and to the original movie The Crow

Back in the early 90's, all these artists were basically on the cutting edge I guess of rock and alternative rock. Most of these tracks I believe were only on this CD for years till they found their way on to comp discs once these artists collected enough catalog to put one out. It can pummel you one minute, and soothe you the next, and it lifts your spirits for the most part, even makes you think about something other than your problems at the time, for me with great music, it provides an escape from the trials of life and for a young mind that is quite often a road well traveled.
Rollins Band, NIN, Helmet, Pantera, Rage Against The Machine, The Cure, Thrill Kill Kult, Violent Femmes...to have all these bands with rare/new songs at the time on one CD, and have them be Good songs (!) is what makes this soundtrack to me about as important as maybe the Singles Soundtrack, or the Judgement Night Soundtrack from around these times.
I have really never even seen the movie, but this collection always paints a nice picture of what it might be like. This CD brings back alot of memories of some type of nervous anxiety about the world and trying to grow up in a world that seemed so big and confusing to me. As if we all knew what it was all about one minute and had it by the (horns) and the next minute it seemed to spiral out of control, the type of day you had seemed to predict the type of music you would listen to that night.
Great Soundtrack, Great Music September 17, 2009
Andrew Cave (Fulton, MO)
Very often, music is placed in a movie at whim. It doesn't really tell the story, and listening to the soundtrack apart from the movie, one wouldn't even know that it is a motion picture soundtrack except for the title. This is not the case with The Crow soundtrack. The songs were placed in the movie to enhance the story at a level the is, in my oppinion, unsurpassed. Images of the movie will flash before your mind's eye as you listen to this soundtrack. My favorite track would have to be the first one, Burn by The Cure. It's the song that was playing when Brandon Lee was painting his face and really became The Crow. As passionate as the first track is, it is bookended by the melancholy It Won't Rain All The Time as the last track, which really serves to display the duel passions portrayed in the movie of both righteous revenge and hope for better things to come. In between, one hears a range of music from slower, alternative rock to fast hard metal. One that I particullarly like is Dark Souls by Nine Inch Nails. All that being said, I don't enjoy all tracks on this album equally, but overall, a wonderful buy. I would recommend this product to anyone who is a fan of The Crow, or a fan of alternative rock.
