This CD opitimises 'The Crow' beautifully. Each track takes you through the world of The Crow, some are instantly recognisable from the flim, others you may have to look (or listen) harder to find.
The CD kicks off with the greatest song (in my opinion) from the film 'Burn' by The Cure. This is the song that plays as Brandon Lee applies his 'make-up' at the start of the film, and The Crow is born.
The end song is also outstanding. In contrast to the rest of the songs on the CD, this is very somber and relaxing; ending the whole experience on a 'lovely' note -- much like the film.
In between is a mix of heavy rock, metal, dark dark music and so on -- basically, music from the film.
When you have finished listening to this CD you will realise that you have just been taken on a rollercoaster 'Crow like' ride. It's very powerful.
I would recommend this to any hard-core Crow fan, and indeed anyone who has a taste in real music.

After having watched the Crow, I was recently lucky to chance upon finding Graeme Revell's score to the film itself.
As any Crow fan will tell you the music was an integral part to the original film, from backing the dark city with the eerie mysterious music, through to the calm guitar part where Eric Draven/The Crow (played by Brandon Lee, R.I.P) plays a guitar on the roof of his apartment building.
Don't think that all the tracks on here are slow and emotional, for Devil's Night and Inferno are faster and have one hell of a great sound, and also happen to be two of my favourite tracks on the score, along with Birth of the Legend.
Simply put, this score is awesome and a great cd to have in your collection, especially if you are a fan of The Crow, and remember...
"It can't rain all the time!"

If you adore the film then you'll see why this soundtrack sets the perfect mood. An Amazing soundtrack to an amazing film. I hadn't really delved into the different bands until I watched the dvd again, and then decided to investigate. Obviously, the most popular song associated with the film is 'Burn' by The Cure, and Nine Inch Nails did a spectacular track 'Dead souls'. I love the mixture of hard/dark/heavy mixed with some mellow tracks, particularly the end track. The music fits the era, the film, and definietly made the mood. Buy it if you have good taste and want to experience the depth and emotion of the film again and again..

The Crow soundtrack not only reflects the dark mood of the film, it actually did much to create that dark mood in the first place. One is hard pressed to say which came first, the movie or the music; that is how closely linked both aspects of the production are. Jane Siberry’s It Can’t Rain All the Time will forever be identified with The Crow in my mind; this hauntingly beautiful track makes this album worth buying all by itself; I know of no other song I could even compare it to in terms of its depth of feeling and quiet intensity. The other 13 tracks are pretty amazing songs in their own right, serving up a sampler of styles from rock’s slightly darker and heavier side. Stone Temple Pilot’s Big Empty is immediately recognizable to anyone who ever listened to a radio in the early 1990s, but I most enjoyed hearing some offerings from bands I am less familiar with. My Life With the Thrill Kill Kult is a band I have never heard of outside of The Crow soundtrack, and I’m really surprised this group has not received more attention over the years. For Love Not Lisa is another group that impressed me, especially with the “I would die for you” refrain that forms the heart of their song Slip Slide Melting. I know Pantera only be reputation, and I’m glad I got to hear a sampling of their work here. Nine Inch Nails and Rage Against the Machine are two bands that have never captured my attention, but their contributions to this soundtrack have me thinking I ought to take another look at them. Rollins Band’s Ghostrider came as a bit of a shock to me because the lead singer sounds remarkably like Jim Morrison, and this song really has the sound of a modernized Doors song.... Read more ›

If you think about it, a soundtrack ought really to reflect and enhance the tone and texture of a movie. It shouldn't be about taking songs of the moment from bands of the moment. Too often that seems to be the case, and the soundtrack album lacks any form of unity or cohesion. It is often the case that the songs on the album never even featured in the movie. But not in this case, oh no!
I don't think I have ever encountered a movie and soundtrack which are so inseparable. Somehow atmospheric and sentimental, while menacing and industrial at the same time, the soundtrack almost eclipses the movie. It certainly encapsulates it. It is impossible to watch the movie, without hearing the songs - and they really are a great bunch of songs!
The album opens, as does the movie, with "Burn" by the Cure. I've never been a Cure fan. In fact, I've never liked a Cure song before - but I love this one. And that is indicitive of this album, because the songs are sometimes somewhat of a departure for the groups performing them. Sometimes not a great departure, and sometimes a huge leap - but it seems to work each time.
The second track, "Golgotha Tenement Blues", by Machines of Loving Grace, is my favourite track on the album. I had not heard of this group before, and immediately took a gamble and bought the first CD by them I found (their second album, "Concentration"). It sounds nothing like this track, but it's good and you should check it out. Their third album, "Gilt" does sound more like GTB, and is definitely worth checking out.
"Big Empty" was one of the few "known" tracks by "known" bands on the Crow soundtrack, but it fits in nicely.... Read more ›

Atmospheric Heartache
I must admit that when I first saw The Crow, I didn't exactly remember the score but then on repeated viewings, I realised the score isn't 'exactly' designed that way. Read more
