Free Music Notes for Heavy Metal 2000
Free Music Review: help
Hit: 4 Stars
i dont mind this movie at all, a passable (if obviously) american attempt at mature animation with adequate music, the name of the movie alone undoubtably lets a majority of people know if they'll enjoy it. one thing is driving me utterly mad, and this may not be the place to ask, but the song in the scene where Tyler is marching on the holy land with his reptile army, i may just be missing it, but i cannot find it on this album.. if someone else has, or knows the song i'd greatly appreciate it. Free Music Review: Worthy of the name Heavy Metal!

I am not a metal music fan, not normally. The cast for Heavy Metal 2000 is what got me to watch the movie. Billy Idol's "Buried Alive" got me to buy the CD. I couldn't stop listening to the CD once it arrived. If you aren't into heavy metal music then this is the CD for you! You get eveything from the heavy metal spectrum: from unintelligable screaming (Puya's "Tirale") to reflective and slightly psychodelic (Bauhaus' "The Dog's A Vapour). This CD is not tame but the music is very well done and the songs are inventive. I especially like "Inside The Pervert Mound" by Ziltch. This is the kind of music you play when you're driving and don't care how many cops are chasing you. 18 songs and I only skip three of them, damn good for a soundtrack! And Billy Idol continues to hold center stage! A worthy companion to the original Heavy Metal soundtrack.Free Music Review: One of my most played soundtracks
Hit: 5 Stars
Heavy Metal 2000 is probably one of the best soundtracks I have ever purchased in my life. It has a good variety of modern metal. You have grunge-metal (Full Devil Jacket, Monster Magnet) techno-metal (MDFMK, Apartment 26) full on heavy metal (Pantera, Machine Head) and many others in between. Most soundtracks I find myself having to skip over a bunch of tracks just to get to the few I do like, but I like just about every song on this CD. Time for the run-down:1. F.A.K.K. U - Ok, sorry, I just don't listen to this. Kinda dumb. 1/5
2. Monster Magnet - Silver Future - Probably my favorite song on this soundtrack. Different from a lot of their newer stuff. Great lyrics and a just overall powerful song. 5/5
3. MDFMK - Missing Time - I liked them better when they were referred to as KMFDM, but this track is surprisingly good and different from most of the stuff on here. 4/5
4. Pantera - Immortally Insane - It's definetly a Pantera song. Fans who like their heaviest stuff will probably love this song. Fits the movie really well. 5/5
5. Zilch - Inside the Pervert Mound - One of the tracks that I just don't like. Doesn't do much for me. 1/5
6. Insane Clown Posse - Dirtball - The WORST group on this CD. 1/5
7. System of a Down - Storaged - Short but sweet. This song was taken from the Sugar EP which is now out of print, so diehard SOAD fans should track this song down. 5/5
8. Days of the New - Rough Day - To be honest, I didn't like their first CD, but the new stuff is pretty good. More than just your typical grunge. 4/5
9. Sinisstar - Psychosexy - One of Fred Durst's new bands. Actually pretty good and different than most bands out there. A very punk-ish track. 4/5
10. Queens of the Stone Age - Infinity - Heavier than most of their stuff. Sounds a lot like the Doors. Fits the movie really well though. 5/5
11. Machine Head - Alcoholocaust - Different than anything on the Burning Red. Kind of a muddy track though, not up to standards. 4/5
12. Full Devil Jacket - Green Iron Fist - One of my favorite new bands. Grunge mixed with heavy metal. Josh screams more on this track than in most of their other songs. 5/5
13. Hate Dept. - Hit Back - I had never heard of these guys until this soundtrack. Not really my type of music. Too much like Marilyn Manson. 1/5
14. Puya - Tirale - Very good use of the bass on this song. Sort of mellow for Puya, but still, a very very great track. 5/5
15. Apartment 26 - Dystopia - Not one of their best songs, but can be cool to listen to if you're in the mood for something different. 3/5
16. Billy Idol - Buried Alive - Typical Billy Idol. Even though he's old, he's still got it. A very moody, creepy track. 4/5
17. Coal Chamber - Wishes - Way better than a lot of their album stuff. Wishes is a B-Side from Chamber Music. Very energetic. 5/5
18. Bauhaus - Dog's a Vapour - I realize a lot of people who bought this soundtrack were fans of this band and wanted something new, but it's definetly not my type of music and it's really boring to me. 1/5
Overall, Heavy Metal 2000 is a really great soundtrack with only about 3 songs to avoid. It's a good mix, and I recommend it to anyone who wants to discover some newer bands.
Free Music Review: THE BEST SOUNDTRACK EVER!
Hit: 5 Stars
When I heard there was a new Heavy Metal movie coming out, I was more excited about the music than I was about the movie. As soon as I heard who all was on the soundtrack, it was like a [really good] dream come true. The best song is undoubtedly Pantera's "Immortally Insane", which is also one of the best songs they've ever written. The other great songs are by Monster Magnet, MDFMK, Machine Head, Days of the New, System of a Down, Billy Idol, Queens of the Stone Age, and yes, even the Insane Clown Posse. Unlike every other soundtrack, there is no filler, every song is fantastic and epic sounding, it's just too bad the new movie isn't as good as the soundtrack.Free Music Review: Loud. VERY loud.
Hit: 4 Stars
If it's at all possible, the soundtrack to HEAVY METAL 2000 is even louder and nastier than its two-decade-old precedant, so much so that it will leave your ears ringing and melt your speakers. This certainly doesn't disappoint, and anyone who adores loud, loud, LOUD music to thrash your hair around to and make the neighbors move will be in heaven (or hell, whichever term they personally prefer to use). Your parents are guaranteed to hate this collection with a screaming passion, and it will also upset your pets. Now with all that aside, there *is* a problem here: the first album was smart enough to balance out the loud numbers with soft touches, such as Donald Fagan's lovely contribution. Without this ingredient, the album has no balance and slows down only in its final track. As a result the songs can sound monotonous, especially on the first listening, and give the impression that they are a lot less original individually than they really are. Having said that, you'll also be relieved to hear that there's no DEVO on this one (I always hated them)! My other gripe has to do with the fact that both movies' original scores have yet to see the light of CD day, and that's a shame because they are both spectacular. As for the one HEAVY METAL 2000 album currently available, it is very much worth having and a highly enjoyable collection---but I warn you. Take this one in small doses. Very small. Otherwise, unless you're at a party where the mood needs to be set on fast forward, it will sound like sheer white noise.
