Free Music Notes for The Crow: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack
Free Music Review: An excellent soundtrack
Hit: 5 Stars
The Cure's opening track "Burn" is perhaps one of their best songs (and very appopiate for the Crow...and well placed in the film). "Golgotha Tenement Blues," "Big Empty," "Dead Souls," and "After the Flesh" are also well placed in the film, and are great songs that carry both the action and emotion of the film perfectly. Medicine's "Time Baby III" is a cool song too, but the gem is the end piece "It Can't Rain All the Time." Jane Siberry sings it beautifully, and is is just the sweetest song in the world (actually made me cry). Rage Against the Machine is not all that bad here, though I felt both it and Rollin's Band were inappropriate (I think Rollin's got confued between the leather-clad skull-heade spirit of vengeance and the crow). Pantera's song works in the movie, but on the soundtrack...it's just stupid. Jesus & Mary Chain's "Snakedriver" is a good reminder of the eighties, as is Violent Femmes' "Color Me Once" (after all that's when the Crow supposedly takes place), and "Slip Slide Melting" is an okay addition. Overall, this is one of the best soundtracks ever produced for one of the best movies ever made.Free Music Review: Simply Awesome

Although movies today are released with many songs on the soundtrack, they are there mainly to sell the soundtrack before the movie is released to DVD/video so that more money is made by the producers. Very rarely are they there to enrich the film, and even less rare is a soundtrack that perfectly captures the essence of the mood of the movie. Quite frankly, this movie raised the bar so high in both regards that I don't think it can ever be surpassed. It's truly incredible! I've listened to this CD dozens of times and I never tire of it. From the ultra-cool "Golgotha Tenement Blues" to Nine Inch Nails' wicked "Dead Souls", Rollins Band's brutal "Ghost Rider", and Jesus and Mary Chain's rockin' "Snakedriver", everything about this album is an alt-rock fans dream come true. If you like your music with loud guitars and screamingly intense vocals, yet with creativity and focus, you cannot go wrong with this album. I'm not going overboard when I say it's absolutley brilliant. What a shame it sells a lot less than most of the mainstream garbage that is released these days, and simply because it's considered too edgy and aggressive.Free Music Review: The suitable soundtrack

The Crow is my favorite movie of all time, hands down. The moving love/death/life/revenge plot coupled with Brandon Lee's exceptional performance and very talented supporting cast is more than enough than for The Crow to stand the test of time. However, probably the strongest point of the movie lies in its truly awesome soundtrack that captures the mood of the movie perfectly.
As great as the movie is, the soundtrack almost matches its caliber just by itself. A great compilation of independent, some unreleased, alt-rock tracks that add another dimension to the movie. Tracks like "Burn" from The Cure, "Big Empty" from the Stone Temple Pilots, "Color Me Once" from the Violent Femmes, the sentimental "It Can't Rain All the Time" from Jane Siberry, and my favorite, "Slip Slide Melting" performed by For Love Not Lisa.
Truly, a great movie will have a great soundtrack, and The Crow's amazing collection of songs make it one of the best of all time.

Watching "The Crow" and listening to its soundtrack will live in my mind an experience that marked my late college times. Its dark appeal, the fascinating theme of love beyond death and Brandon Lee's enticing performance prior to his death while shooting the picture could not have been better framed musically. The soundtrack provided a perfect background against which the scenes that evolved on the screen were simply perfect, as if choreographed.But three songs did the most for the movie and transcended it: Jane Siberry's fascinating "It Can't Rain All The Time" along with the final credits, Nine Inch Nail's "Dead Souls" and The Cure's "Burn". Years later, I can still see Lee on my mind, putting on make up, crashing mirrors, and trashing everything around him and as his transformation was under way with The Cure in the background, sounding at their best: one vibrant moment in movie history!

There's so much to love about this soundtrack. It's dark, but it also has its tender parts, like the movie did. The cure starts the cd with "Burn", a tortured, haunting, strange kind of love song befitting of Robert Smith on a bad day. The Machines of Loving Grace come next with a breathy, sinister vocals and minimal guitar. Stone Temple Pilots' Big Empty is reflective and powerful, and is one of STP's easier songs to sing along with, as you'll no doubt be doing. Nine Inch Nails' cover of Deads Souls is up to true Trent Reznor form, screaming about torment, in the beautiful way. Rage Against the Machine, Rollins Band, Helmet, Pantera, and My Life With the Thrill Kill Kult add acid to the mix while the Violent Femmes, The Jesus and Mary Chain, Medicine, and Jane Siberry mellow it for just the right amount of contrast. Perfecto.
