 A Memorable Movie Soundtrack? Sign Me Up Apr 05, 2009
Saw the movie once. It was OK, but like a thousand movies you've seen once and moved on from, there's typically very little in the soundtrack that you're going to remember.
I "remembered" one song from this one, and that's the soundtrack's only real hit "Trip Like I Do", which from a fan of both Filter and Crystal Method was a fabulous synergy of gritty alternative rock and classic electronica. I always found it interesting that both bands have a version of this song that ISN'T the collaborative effort on their own discography, but this soundtrack's version is so much better than either solo effort.
That song stuck with me enough to re-discover the movie soundtrack, mind you, with no intentions of watching the movie again. And after this re-visiting I'm left with one of those rare "wow" moments.
Whoever thought about merging techno/electronica guys with metal/hard rock guys is truly genius. At its best (Manson/Sneaker Pimps, Orbital/Hammett, Prodigy/Morello, Slayer/ATR) it is the most amazing crossover of musical genres you'll ever hear. At its worst it's entertaining "summer blockbuster" stuff.
If you're a fan of any of these conjoined genres, it's worth a listen. If you're a fan of any of the musicians on this soundtrack, it's a MUST listen.
 different track 6? Apr 05, 2009
Hello everyone,
Have no clue where else to post something like this, so I'm writing it here. For the oddest of reasons, my copy of this album has a completely different track 6. Every site I go to lists track 6 as "For Whom The Bell Tolls". The copy I have lists track 6 as "This Is Not A Dream". What gives? I know this isn't some sort of collector's edition or something, because I've never heard of something like that with this album. Also, I'm not that lucky, lol. Anyway, if anyone else has a copy of this album that is the same way or any info as to why mine is different than seemingly everyone else in the world, I would greatly appreciate a response/review/ridicule of my ingorance, etc.
Classic techno-metal experimental soundtrack Mar 07, 2009
I thought this album was amazing when it came out, and I still think so. This is an experimental album where each song is made through collaboration through an electronic artist and metal or rock artist. The combination is excellent for tracks like Trip Like I Do & Tiny Rubberband. I'd rate all of the songs 5/5 except for Satan which is especially disappointing since Metallica was up to bat. 0/5 for Satan.
Check this out if you like electronic, rock, or experimental types of music - you'll love it.

Happy Walters 2nd Coming of "Judgment Night" Aug 11, 2008
Immortal Records executive producer Happy Walters was responsible for killing the long-standing feud between rock and hip-hop when he coordinated the production for the soundtrack to 1993's "Judgement Night", which was critically-lauded for its unorthodox tag-teaming of acts of both genres. Walters decided to try the same concept for "Spawn", the 1997 live-action flim adapted from creator Todd MacFarlane's Marvel Comic. This time out, he put together established acts from both hard rock and electronica, and the results here were equally as memorable if not terrific.
Filter & The Crystal Method ("[Can't You] Trip Like I Do"), Marilyn Manson & Sneaker Pimps ("Long Hard Road Out Of Hell"), Mansun & 808 State ("Skin Up Pin Up"), and ButHole Surfers & Moby ("Tiny Rubberbands") are dark but solid tracks to keep an ear on. Two very key tracks that standout (and are the best on the entire record, I feel) belong to Metallica & DJ Spooky ("For Whom The Bell Tolls [The Irony Of It All]") and Prodigy & Tom Morello ("One Man Army"). The former for its blend of anger and sadness and the latter for the brilliant guitar wizardry of Rage Against The Machine's Tom Morello (also of AudioSlave).
The only track I had intense trouble with was "T-4 Strain" by Goldie & Henry Rollins. Uneven and repetitive at times. Same goes for the closing track from Soul Coughing & Roni Size, but theirs is five times better than the Goldie/Rollins offering. As a black male who loves rock music, as well as my hip-hop & R&B, I am proud to say that this is one soundtrack I still play with to this day when the feeling hits me.
"Spawn", despite its flaws, was a solid and satisfying follow-up to "Judgment Night" and created an alternative way to release built-up tension by blending classic hard-rock riffs with electronic beats to give you the ultimate experience in a digital headbangers ball. - DEM -
