| Possibly the hottest movie of the summer of 2000. This soundtrack is without a doubt, the hottest soundtrack from the sequel. Not only does Metallica contribute their first ever soundtrack cut, "I disappear" but the classic "Mission Impossible" theme music has been revamped by none other than Limp Bizkit. Also appearing are Tori Amos, Live, Godsmack, Rob Zombie, Eve 6, Butthole Surfers, Toni, and The Foo Fighters.
| | Album Notes and Credits | Notes & Personnel Info |  | MISSION IMPOSSIBLE 2 is also available as a 2-CD set with the score music composed by Hans Zimmer. |  | "Take A Look Around" was nominated for the 2001 Grammy Award for Best Hard Rock Performance. |  | "Whatever happened to the feel-good music?" Kid Rock protege Kracker asks at one point here, and listeners will know the feeling. There's not a single cut on this soundtrack to the second MISSION IMPOSSIBLE that could be described as "feel-good music"; in fact, most of it--a very au courant mix of extreme metal and rap--is typified by Limp Bizkit's effective bludgeoning of the familiar theme from the original TV show. |  | Most of the music here is inventive within its genre restrictions, particularly ex-Soundgarden honcho Chris Cornell's "Mission 2000," a characteristically twisted chunk of grunge-metal. There's also a sensational remake of Pink Floyd's "Have a Cigar," by the unlikely, but in fact eminently compatible, team of ex-Queen guitarist Brian May and the Foo Fighters. Tori Amos is also on hand to transform the fragile "Carnival," the love theme from the classic French film BLACK ORPHEUS, into one of her trademark collages of industrial-strength weirdness. |  | "Take A Look Around" was nominated for the 2001 Grammy Award for Best Hard Rock Performance. | Producer: Mitchell Leib (Compilation) |
