Description:

Godzilla's return to the big screen mixes old and new; this monster of a flick infuses '90s special effects into the classic tale of a lizard gone awry. In effect, the movie's soundtrack embraces a similar resurrection: established artists either breathing new life into well-worn tunes or showcasing exclusive tracks and new lineups. And, like the movie, the soundtrack only succeeds on certain levels. The Wallflowers' recording of David Bowie's "Heroes" (the album's single) is hardly groundbreaking, and the predictable Puffdaddy treatment to Led Zeppelin's "Kashmir" drags on. The Foo Fighters, here in their first recording to feature new guitarist Franz Stahl, take a mellow pop tromp. Ben Folds Five's "Air" and Green Day's "Brain Stew," the latter remixed especially for Godzilla, are the album highlights. As the saying goes, sometimes bigger isn't better. --Jason Verlinde

5Surprisingly entertaining choices  May 15, 2009
Considering the film was such a B-grade crowd-pleaser (nothing wrong with that), with its tongue set firmly in its cheek, it was refreshing to have an inspired list of tracks accompanying the movie that transfer into a movie soundtrack compilation worth having.

Purchased for litereally ONE song that I can't find elsewhere...the rest of the CD isn't that good.

5Revisiting the Godzilla Soundtrack  Sep 08, 2007
The film "Godzilla" from the year 1998 seemed to catch some mixed reviews, but in looking back at the soundtrack that accompanied the film, it is safe to say it is still a hit to this day. For modern rock enthusiasts, recognizable bands will be seen with the likes of Rage against the Machine, Fuel and the Foo Fighters, while the Wallflowers and Ben Folds Five are now distant memories.

Regardless, the contributions throughout the soundtrack for the Godzilla movie are still very poignant. There is an incredible kinetic energy that comes through with P. Diddy and former Led Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy page on the tune "Come with me", while another solid tune being Days of the New with the whiskey acoustics of "Running Knees". Green Day and 90s grunge troopers Silverchair also have songs featured on the soundtrack, which rounds out with a couple of scores from the film.

5Good soundtrack, GREAT movie  Jun 13, 2007
I can't believe how stupid people are, when this movie came out people whined about it for various reasons. Some said well it doesn't look like the old Godzilla, ok it would have been nice but they set out for it to look more like a lizard not a man in a costume, and this is easily better than any corny Japanese Godzilla movies, which I enjoy as well but let's be realistic. As far as the Soundtrack it's good but not great, more around 3 1/2 stars but since some idiots on here reviewed the movie not the soundtrack it deserves more than 3 stars. Good tracks by Fuel, Green Day, Days of the New and others and the last two tracks from the score were good as well.

4Unlike many reviewers...  May 16, 2006
I'm going to grade the album and not the movie. The album was actually pretty good...not perfect, but not many soundtracks are. Puff Daddy (now P. Diddy or is it just Diddy now?) does a decent job with the theme song, but the biggest standout is the remix for 'Brain Stew' by Green Day...AWSOME SONG! The original was great, the remix is better. Although not a band I was ever into, The Wallflowers were big at the time and thus got top billing on the soundtrack, and they actually hit a good note with 'Heroes'. Ben Folds Five is always a favorite and with killer tracks from the likes of RATM and Jamiroquai it's no wonder this album was a big seller. Days of the New, Fuel and The Foo Fighters all even out the playing list with great contibutions and the score by David Arnold is actually a welcomed addition. This is actually a very enjoyable album showcasing the best new talent of the late 90's.
