Free Music Notes for Godzilla: The Album (1998 Film)
Free Music Review: One Song
Hit: 2 Stars
Purchased for litereally ONE song that I can't find elsewhere...the rest of the CD isn't that good. Free Music Review: Revisiting the Godzilla Soundtrack
Hit: 5 Stars
The film "Godzilla" from the year 1998 seemed to catch some mixed reviews, but in looking back at the soundtrack that accompanied the film, it is safe to say it is still a hit to this day. For modern rock enthusiasts, recognizable bands will be seen with the likes of Rage against the Machine, Fuel and the Foo Fighters, while the Wallflowers and Ben Folds Five are now distant memories.
Regardless, the contributions throughout the soundtrack for the Godzilla movie are still very poignant. There is an incredible kinetic energy that comes through with P. Diddy and former Led Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy page on the tune "Come with me", while another solid tune being Days of the New with the whiskey acoustics of "Running Knees". Green Day and 90s grunge troopers Silverchair also have songs featured on the soundtrack, which rounds out with a couple of scores from the film.
Free Music Review: Good soundtrack, GREAT movie
Hit: 5 Stars
I can't believe how stupid people are, when this movie came out people whined about it for various reasons. Some said well it doesn't look like the old Godzilla, ok it would have been nice but they set out for it to look more like a lizard not a man in a costume, and this is easily better than any corny Japanese Godzilla movies, which I enjoy as well but let's be realistic. As far as the Soundtrack it's good but not great, more around 3 1/2 stars but since some idiots on here reviewed the movie not the soundtrack it deserves more than 3 stars. Good tracks by Fuel, Green Day, Days of the New and others and the last two tracks from the score were good as well. Free Music Review: Unlike many reviewers...
Hit: 4 Stars
I'm going to grade the album and not the movie. The album was actually pretty good...not perfect, but not many soundtracks are. Puff Daddy (now P. Diddy or is it just Diddy now?) does a decent job with the theme song, but the biggest standout is the remix for 'Brain Stew' by Green Day...AWSOME SONG! The original was great, the remix is better. Although not a band I was ever into, The Wallflowers were big at the time and thus got top billing on the soundtrack, and they actually hit a good note with 'Heroes'. Ben Folds Five is always a favorite and with killer tracks from the likes of RATM and Jamiroquai it's no wonder this album was a big seller. Days of the New, Fuel and The Foo Fighters all even out the playing list with great contibutions and the score by David Arnold is actually a welcomed addition. This is actually a very enjoyable album showcasing the best new talent of the late 90's.Free Music Review: Above-average soundtrack
Hit: 4 Stars
First of all, WHY IS EVERYONE REVIEWING THE MOVIE ON THIS THING? I'm baffled by the sheer volume of people discussing the movie rather than the soundtrack. Unbelievable.
The soundtrack is an excellent compliment to the predicted magnitude of the movie (although the movie faired much worse). Most of the tracks resemble a theme of an unsteady surface, complete with haymaker riffs out of Fuel, Days of the New, and Green Day (albeit a poor "remix"). Puff Daddy's "Come With Me" falls short of what we'd expect from such a collaboration, but it's suiting nonetheless.
Although it's yet another remake (again, fittingly so), The Wallflowers' "Heroes" does hit a stride here. This track was laid out in the pinnacle of their run on the market, and it works nicely. A humming guitar, markably Dylanesque vocals, and a smooth production of the song puts a cherry on this sorely neglected compilation.
The real piece of art, however, is Fuel's "Walk the Sky", not found anywhere else. It's not their best, but it's certainly the type of excellent work we'd expect from this band, unfortunately marked by their less-driven of songs, "Hemorrhage," fitted with blazing guitars and the trademark racuous vocals from Scallions. If my CD hadn't been crushed on the way to school one morning, I'd still be looping this track.
