What did you expect, good-timin' reggae and ska grooves? This is, after all, the final battle between two of Hollywood's greatest hell spawns. But it's telling that such a battle is necessary. Without even seeing the film, its premise smacks of cheap and easy marketing and ham-fisted bombast. Likewise, the original motion picture soundtrack is the predictable rogue's gallery of metal heavyweights, up-and-comers, and pretenders to Hades' throne. For every brutal kick to the solar plexus from Hatebreed or Killswitch Engage (both of whom contribute previously unreleased material), there's a weak spot from Powerman 5000 or Blank Theory. The former's "Bombshell" could be an early version of "Theme to a Fake Revolution" from its Transform LP, while Blank Theory's "Middle of Nowhere" is a blatant Korn reset. This mix of the solid with more inconsistent material is to be expected on a summer movie soundtrack. That almost half of the bands here record for Roadrunner is not surprising in the realm of the summer soundtrack, either, although the label might have gone a little overboard in its zeal to stock the waters. Nevertheless, the comp's producers do seem to have loud rock fans in mind -- over half the set is previously unreleased. That includes a Slipknot demo dating to 1997, which is accompanied by unreleased material from Stone Sour. As blatant a premise as it is, Freddy vs. Jason likely offers enough thrills and chills to justify the price of admission. Its clanging, churning, and mostly O.K. soundtrack finds the same blood-drenched middle ground. ~ Johnny Loftus | | With this film project that was in turnaround hell for countless years finally seeing the light of day, hordes of slasher fans were sated, and with the soundtrack to FREDDY VS. JASON, these same fanatics score an added bonus if their tastes also run to nu-metal. With enough jack-hammering beats, howling vocalists, and screaming guitars to batter even the most hardened horror movie fanatics, these 20 cuts draw primarily from the Roadrunner Records stable with quite a number of twists thrown in. | | Mixed in with previously available cuts by Type O Negative (a gorgeous and goth-tinged "[We Were] Electrocute"), In Flames (the thrash-fueled "Trigger"), and Nothingface (a thumping "Ether") are juicy, previously unreleased nuggets like ominously heavy "Leech" by Sevendust and Stone Sour's thunderous "Inside the Cynic." With cinematic icons Freddy Kreuger and Jason Voorhees finally meeting, it's only appropriate that Roadrunner include one of the more intriguing nuggets from the vault, featuring Brazilian metal-mongers Sepultura laying down a dirge for former Faith No More frontman Mike Patton on "The Waste." |
