Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

Here's a perfect end result example of the Hollywood bastardisation of the movie soundtrack; a great album that has practically nothing to do with the film it promotes. "Heroes" from The Wallflowers is a red herring as a gentle introduction before the notorious collaboration between Jimmy Page and Puff Daddy with the hard rock of "Come With Me". The latter is far better preparation for the thumping jumping styles of Rage Against the Machine ("No Shelter"), Fuel ("Walk The Sky"), Fuzzbubble ("Out There"), and Green Day ("Brain Stew"). Balladic counterpoint comes from: Ben Folds Five ("Air"), Michael Penn ("Macy Day Parade"), and Foo Fighters ("A320"). The movie featured a start-to-finish orchestral score from David (Independence Day) Arnold, and--gee whiz!--they managed to squeeze four minutes onto the end here. It's the only thing that'll have you recalling the film in any way. Ah! Maybe that explains why the songs are unrelated. --Paul Tonks

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Album I own and the greatest i've heard, 19 Dec 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Godzilla - the Album (Audio CD)
This is a very good album. It has loads of different bands, including foo fighters, puff daddy, rage against the machine, green day and many more. The general style green day-ist. It has a range, with almost all being briliant and one being average. I have listned to this since its release a year ago and i still enjoy it. A great buy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Godzilla sound track, 4 Oct 2000
By A Customer
Some of the names on the cd are as big as Godzilla himself. It's a toatal mix of great singers to great bands Puff Daddy, Silver Chair and Rage Against The Machine to name but a few. This cd has it all for the film heavy metal for the action and indie for the quieter bit if there were any in the film. So buy this cd it is one of the best.

2.0 out of 5 stars Good music implies high artistic intregrity, 21 Jan 2001
By Mike London "MAC" (Oxford, UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)   
. . . and this ain't it. Good album ... from the commercial standpoint. This album is pure product, nothing more. (Which, by the way, is what is ruined about Beatles for Sale). A few people have praised it for the variety of music contained therein. Sorry, on this record, not a strong point. It was just a blatant cash-in. Wallflower's cover of Heros costed $500,000. That is how much they paid the band. This was widely criticized in the recording industry. There was not a track put on here that the producers did not think would help them sell more of these LPs (still think in record terms). And they were right.

Actually, in terms of what they were trying to do (make pure product) this album is 5 stars because they succeed so well. In terms of artistic quality, like how the album will stand the test of time, - 5 stars. It won't last at all.

Truthfully, I do like all of the music on this album. But the thing I don't like is everything on this has such a commercial feel. The movie (which I haven't seen...never appealed to me, although I am a big fan of SF/Fantasy movies) I have not seen, but have been told its just a special effects flick. It was supposed to be the big hit of the year. It did not go over as well as expected, though it did decently. That's how Godzilla: the album did.

Come With Me, being (besides Heros) the most talked about track, is perhaps also one of the most disgusting. When you try to combine such different genres as rap and classic rock, it is bound to be hard to do successfully. Its more of a failed experiment than anything. That would be like taking the orchestra crescendos out of A Day in the Life. If Puff Daddy has to depend on established rock classics to sell his records, he is in very sad shape. Especially considering he did such a poor job. Page should be shot for allowing him to do that, even playing on the track. Had I been Plant (who like the version) or JPJ, I would have torn into them.

(Interesting Factoid: John Paul Jones did the string arrangements for R.E.M.'s classic Automatic for the People. Now there's a real 90's album for ya!)

Bottom Line: If you want good rock, go get the real stuff. If you want commercialized tracks with no consideration for art; you've hit the mother lode.

There has to be a balance...everyone has to make a living. But there has to be some art to it too. This is entirely out of balance.

[The Ultimate Soundtrack of the 90s: Singles. Although it does not have Nirvana, it defines the grunge movement. That has art. It's the best sound track of the 90's I've heard. Don't waste yr money on this commercial crap! Go with Singles! Damn good album! ]
