When it comes to putting together a soundtrack of original songs for a film, it must be a difficult task to get the artists together, have them understand what the movie is about, and have them produce something that can not only be used in the movie, but will be used to sell the soundtrack of the movie.
This is one of the better movie soundtrack albums. Almost all of the songs are original, and can only be found on this album, which must help with the sales no end. The bands are not nobodies either, which is why I eventually bought this.
I loved the movie (still do!), and there were a number of songs that grabbed my attention – Winger's 'Battle Stations', Steve Vai's 'The Reaper', Faith No More's 'The Perfect Crime' and Megadeth's sensational 'Go To Hell'. These songs, woven into the movie, made me want to go out and buy the soundtrack. On this level, they have succeeded.
Memories : First going to see the film when it was released at Wollongong with Kearo, Bono and Joel. Just a great day.
Rating : Very high for a film soundtrack. You can't do much better than this, than perhaps a slightly better mix of good bands. 3.5/5
