Free Music Notes for The Matrix: Music From The Motion Picture
Free Music Review: "Unbelievable...isn't it?"
Hit: 5 Stars
This soundtrack has quite a bit of significance for me. It's the album that converted me several months ago into becoming a big fan of heavy rock and techno music. I used to detest the stuff, but that might have been because I never gave it enough of a chance. But 'The Matrix' was (and still is) my favorite movie, so I decided to give this album a chance. "Rock is Dead" (which I first heard in one of 'The Matrix' commercials and liked without knowing it was Manson) is a very memorable song (especially the guitar parts in the beginning and after the refrain). My only problem is that I wish he hadn't cursed so much since that makes the song "socially unacceptable" to some people with whom I'd wish to share it. For a tolerant audience, however, it's a great song. "Spybreak" is just awesome; very groovy, with cool use of sounds and electronic instruments. "Bad Blood" isn't a bad song, but it's not one of my faves, either. I love "Clubbed to Death", though. It provides a striking contrast to the rest of the songs on the album, and indeed it contrasts with itself, bouncing between piano solo and a more rhythmic section with various electronic instruments and strings (this part is played in the movie during the Agent training program; y'know, the one with the Woman in the Red Dress). "Prime Audio Soup" has some cool parts (also using nifty sound effects), although I think they drag it out a little too long. I like "Leave You Far Behind", although all I can really say about it is that it's very techno. As for "Mindfields"...I like this song, too, although the lyrics are a little repetitive. (I'd classify most of Prodigy's songs as instrumentals that use words more as sound effects than lyrics, actually.) The Hot Rod Herman Mix of "Dragula" is, in my opinion, actually better than the original (a rarity with me and remixes). It was this song that first got me interested in Zombie. He's not a spectacular singer, but his voice has a dark, cool-sounding, evil tone to it. This remix is also very techno and good for dancing (and they play it in the dance club scene of 'The Matrix', as a matter of fact). "My Own Summer" is very good instrumentally, and I do find it an enjoyable song, but the lead singer screams a lot...and I mean he really screams! Cool song anyway, though. "Ultrasonic Sound" is basically instrumental, but isn't as good as "Spybreak" or "Clubbed to Death", although it does have a really nifty guitar theme played throughout. "Look to Your Orb for the Warning" isn't particularly memorable, but it's not a bad song. "Du Hast" has a very powerful, driving beat, and I do like it a lot, although hearing, "Du...du hast...du hast mich..." over and over in the beginning is a bit annoying. And finally, last but not least, "Wake Up" is by far my favorite song on this whole soundtrack. It fits the movie best (with its theme of waking up to the truth and fighting the system), is very intellectual lyrically, features a wonderful use of the guitar, and it just rocks! I don't consider myself much of a rap fan, but I really like the way Rage combines heavy rock with rapping in their songs. This song, in fact, inspired me to get their new album, also. (But while 'The Battle of Los Angeles' really rocks and is very insightful in its criticism of the system, my favorite Rage song is still "Wake Up".) So there you have it: the songs 'The Matrix' soundtrack. If you're into heavy rock and/or techno, this album is a must-have...and if you're not, well, I suggest you give this album a chance or at least sample it. Who knows, you might be just as pleasantly surpised as I was by what you hear.
