Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
The Matrix Reloaded soundtrack comes on two discs packed to the gills with as much diverse entertainment as possible. There are trailers for the movies, The Animatrix and the video game; there are bonus songs apparently inspired by the movie; and, as if that weren't enough, they even found space for music featured in the film. Despite the glaringly overdone all-markets marketing gloss, the good music, thankfully, really is worthwhile. Disc One carries a dozen tunes to rival the hard-as-nails mix of the original movie's soundtrack. Marilyn Manson, Rob Zombie, the Deftones and Rage Against the Machine have all survived the four-year gap (although the Propellerheads haven't), but now they're joined by scene-stealing rivals Linkin Park, Fluke and, inevitably, Paul Oakenfold. It adds up to a flit-about experience, but not so Disc Two. Composer Don Davis is joined and jump-started by Rob Dougan and Juno Reactor, layering his postmodern orchestral writing with dizzyingly fast drum loops and samples. This is the album's real musical surprise; that so many disparate styles should fuse perfectly in the score section. It's definitely the disc that'll more consistently recall the most stunning sequences of the film. With Revolutions, this is set to be the most experimentally diverse and widely appealing trilogy of movie soundtracks ever put on disc. --Paul Tonks

Format:Audio CD
I bought this album for two reasons: I love the Matrix movies, and the track listing - on at least the first disc - seemed good. And since it arrived, it hasn't stopped playing. The first disc opens up straight into rock and club styles, with great tracks from Linkin Park, Marilyn Manson and Rob Zombie, and keeps up the pace throughout. Some of the tracks, such as Zion, may remind you of certain points in the movie, but it is really disc 2 that is meant for this purpose.
Disc 2 is completely filled with music originally composed for the Matrix Reloaded. It is no wonder that Don Davis has been appointed composer for this movie, the tracks are very emotional and WILL remind those who have seen the movie of those points where the music is memorable. The only complaint I have with this disc is the final track, which plays for a staggering 17 minutes 34 seconds, with frequent pauses - although it does capture much of the music from the rest of the film which the other tracks have forgotten.
And once you've finished listening to the music, disc 2 can also be played in a CDROM drive to access some short features on the Matrix Reloaded, the Animatrix and Enter the Matrix (the video game), with the last of these being the most interesting. And as if that wasn't enough bonus for you, they even give you a cheat code for Enter the Matrix on the inside cover! (Although it seems irrelevant, it's probably already on the internet!)
In all, a nice clean separation of tracks between those made specifically for the movie and those not, satisfying extra features on the second disc, and overall great music. Definitely one to buy if you're a fan of the Matrix series. Oh, and that last track is still playing!

I bought this CD as soon as it came out, straight after I'd seen the film, and I wasn't disappointed. Interestingly, I dismissed the second disc first time round as "boring classical stuff", and have only just discovered the sheer beauty of this double disc.
Disc one concentrates on rock and dance, with a lot of great songs by Marilyn Manson, Rob Zombie, Rob Dougan, Sleep people, Oakenfold, Fluke and Rage against the Machine (and others). Passportal and Dread Rock are my favourites - such intelligent music yet, also extremely exciting. Much like the films in fact.
CD two is amazing. The interwoven drum beats with the orchestra in Mona Lisa Overdrive is probably the best piece of new-Classical music I've heard. Juno Reactor comes up trumps with Teahouse as well. And Don Davis is simply a genius, quite how violins can be played like that, I don't know.
Overall a great album.

I just got this about an hour ago and I am currently listening to it as I write this.
In my opinion the album is quite a well rounded package. You have tracks from Linkin Park, Marilyn Manson and Rob Zombie to Oakenfold, Rage Against The Machine and P.O.D. I think the best tracks are the contributions from Rob Zombie and Oakenfold (I don't usually dig dance music, but there is something about this one I like).
It's a 2 CD set, CD 1 has the stuff I have already mentioned. CD 2 has 7 instrumental tracks (at this point I dunno if it is the entire score)
CD 2 also has some multimedia elements:
Animatrix Trailer
Final Flight of The Osiris Trailer
The Matrix Reloaded Trailer
Making of Enter The Matrix (the video game)
If you are a Matrix fan this will be another fine item to add to your collection. If you are into the whole alternative music scene, this might be worth a look. If you don't dig nu-metal then you should maybe look somewhere else.

Not perfect, but very closer than the film itself was.

WOW! I love music but I've never encountered a soundtrack that actually sounds superb on it's own, rather than playing during the movie. Read more

Disappointing
I'm a huge Matrix fan, dont get me wrong, but this was very disppointing. There is too much of the sense that anyone who wants to be part of the scene has paid to be included here. Read more
