Free Music Notes for The Devil's Rejects
Free Music Review: What The Rejects Have In Their 8-Track
Hit: 5 Stars
Zombie is turning out to have the Scorsese/Tarantino knack of choosing the right songs for the right scene. Being a musician as well as the director of many of his own videos, "Dragula" being my favorite, this should be no real surprise. Some of my favorite scenes in House Of 1000 Corpses involved music. Namely the Helen Kane number, and Slim Whitman singing "I'll Remember You" while Otis executes a wet-behind-the-ears deputy.
With the sequel, this talent has grown even more. This time out, Zombie decides to ditch any of his own music and instead favoring southern rock type songs. Joe Walsh, The Allman Brothers Band and Lynard Skynard provide perhaps some of the biggest rock anthems in this collection. And though I'm a little weary of "Freebird" it played well in the movie and I suppose it should be in anyones well-rounded music library just as a staple. There are a couple of old-style country and blues which I have a real soft spot for. "It Wasn't God Who Made Honky-Tonk Angels by Kitty Wells is a great track. It makes me want to go to a dank, smelly bar and drink Pabst out of a dirty glass. My real favorites here, however, were the tunes by Terry Reid who I had never heard of before and released only one album I believe. These are a few of the best songs I've heard in a while, and they really played well in the movie. I have to thank Mr. Zombie for making these otherwise forgotten songs available. Also I should mention the song by the ill-fated country duo, Banjo & Sullivan singing "I'm At Home Getting Hammered While She's Out Getting Nailed". You can't forget that one.
Of course on this soundtrack we are treated with a nice number of sound clips from the movie. There really are some funny moments in this otherwise brutal film. And the Dual Disc features a twenty making-of documentary which has a few clips of the movie, comments from the stars and behind-the-scenes footage during filming.
So if you like southern rock, 70's music, and violence and mayhem, buy this CD and crank it while you're barreling down a hot dusty highway with the heat on you're trail.
Free Music Review: A wild funhouse ride!
Hit: 5 Stars
This CD, the soundtrack to Rob Zombie's "The Devil's Rejects" is a great summer album! The CD consists primarily of 70's classic rock and a pair of country songs from the 1950's and 1960's. There are two versions of the album out there, this one with soundbites from the movie, and another version without the soundbites. The soundbites for just sort of add a little bit more to the listening experience. Keep in mind though that the sound bites all contain vulgarity, in most cases the "f" word, that one word is spoken by every character in the movie in nearly every line of the script. But getting back to the music. We start off with The Allman Brothers' "Midnight Rider" which seems to set the mood for the whole album. I was very surprised to see the two country songs on there, "It Wasn't God Who Made Honky Tonk Angels" by Kitty Wells, and "Satan's Got To Get Along Without Me" from Buck Owens. These two seem somewhat out of place, but as I said in my headline, listening to this album is like a funhouse ride, so you just go along with it.
"Rocky Mountain Way" was used to perfection in the movie with it's sleazy guitar riff, "Free Bird" works really well also. The three Terry Reid tracks are standouts. Hearing these songs back to back and with sound bites, you can feel the heat of the summer and the reckless abandon depicted in the movie.
The album closes with a few tracks from Banjo & Sullivan who also have a complete album out (Banjo & Sullivan are the fictious country band in the movie). What's interesting though is that although they are on the soundtrack and have a "Hits" album, you don't hear any of their songs in the movie.
I like this album, I liked the movie. If you're a fan of 70's classic rock you'll probably like this album as well. It's a great album to play while going for a summer drive.
Free Music Review: Do not reject this devil
Hit: 5 Stars
First of all, if you enjoyed The Devil's Rejects as much as I did, you undoubtedly could not get the film's soundtrack out of your head. And let's not forget to mention that Lynard Skynard's "Free Bird" may never ring the same again (okay, that's not true, but sometimes I'll listen to Free Bird and laugh as I remember the ending sequence to the movie).
So in my most humble opinion, The Devil's Rejects soundtrack is one of the best compilations of music for a film I've heard in quite some time. This soundtrack is filled with classic rock from a few decades of brilliance. You cannot go wrong. After reading this product's details, you will know just what I mean.
As if the music isn't enough, this is the first Dual Disc soundtrack to date. If you are unfamiliar with Dual Disc, I'll give you the quick specs: a two-sided disc where one side is a CD and the other side is a DVD. The best part is that the price of this is reasonable for all of the use you will get out of it.
When you want to enjoy some tunes, put it in your CD player. When you want to enjoy the music with slideshows from the movie or if you want to watch extras on the making of the movie, then flip the disc over and put it in your DVD player. This is a great deal and a purchase you will thank yourself for over and over again.
So do yourself a favor and purchase this. It has several short audio excerpts from the film, plenty of excellent music (track after track), and it's loaded with great visuals and special features on the DVD side. And if not for yourself, then bless someone else with this perfect collection.

I purchased this album, based upon movie experiences....
I passed up House of 1,000 Corpses, many times, when I worked in a movie store, because the cover was freaky and the special packaging was gruesome. I never rented it. However, I watched The Devil's Rejects (Unrated Widescreen Edition), and loved the movie. A coworker explained that this was a "part two" of House of 1,000 Corpses, so I gave it a chance.
I not only enjoyed the movies, but I must admit that thess are now some of my faves. I also purchased the following items related to this flick; House of 1000 Corpses (Soundtrack, Explicit Lyrics), House of 1,000 Corpses, and [[ASIN:B0009SCUXIThe Devil's Rejects (DUALDISC, EXPLICIT LYRICS, SOUNDTRACK))].
After seeing the Rob Zombie films, the soundtracks have a life of their own. I've become a big Rob Zombie fan over the past few years, and I recommend his stage performances, as well as ALL of his CDs and DVDs.
Troll Amazon for "Rob Zombie" and "White Zombie." He never disappoints.
Free Music Review: One of the best soundtracks around....
Hit: 5 Stars
The soundtrack to The Devils Rejects by far surpasses most movie soundtracks that come out. Most of the time, the listener doesn't appreciate all of the music on the disc, and also, doesn't appreciate soundbites from the film, unless, like me, they are completely in love with the movie. The songs on this disc have become some of my most favorites, espescially Free Bird and Midnight Rider. This soundtrack is absoluelty phenomanel, and I have recommended to complete strangers browsing the soundtrack sections of my local music stores.
