| | Album Notes and Credits |
Notes & Personnel Info |  | Original score composed by Marilyn Manson. | | "My Plague" (Slipknot) was nominated for the 2003 Grammy Awards for Best Metal Performance. | | Personnel: Ryu (vocals); Tom Morello (guitar); DJ Swamp (scratches). | | Audio Mixers: Colin Richardson; Frank Gryner; John Goodmanson; Alan Moulder; Mike Plotnikoff; Ross Hogarth; Scott Humphrey; Steve Fitzmaurice; Terry Date; Crystal Method; Ulrich Wild; Stefan Glaumann. | | Audio Remixers: Eddie Wohl; Sean McMahon; Steve Regina; Joey Jordison; Rhys Fulber. | | A soundtrack inspired by a movie inspired by a video game -- that is a true sign that the entertainment industry is eating itself alive. Sparing any more commentary on the ridiculousness of the situation, this is basically a collection of heavy metal and aggressive electronica thrown together out of previously released material. There are a few remixes and Marilyn Manson contributes some original music for the score, so the album isn't completely made up of old stuff. Slipknot contributes a new mix of "My Plague" that sheds everything that makes it heavy and listenable in the first place, starting the album off on a blatantly commercial and unappealing note. Yet Slipknot turns around and remixes Manson's "The Right Song," managing to make it heavier, more aggressive, and ultimately much better than the original mix. Manson's other contributions are also quite good, showing that he may not always get along with mentor Trent Reznor, but he has at least learned some lessons about songwriting from him. Coal Chamber delivers a pretty average song with a great Korn-esque breakdown toward the end that really shapes up the song. The always dependable Fear Factory does what the band does on virtually every metal soundtrack it ends up on, stealing the show with a well-written, intelligent song that puts half the artists here to shame. Static-X sounds great with a Ministry-lite chug, but Rammstein only sounds OK when attempting the same shtick. Depeche Mode delivers the real shocker with a solid and tense cover of the Stooges' "Dirt," turning it into a campy angst-fest that still works despite the group's bizarre transformation into an industrial metal band through the years. Prodigy's excellent remix of Method Man's "Release Yo Delf" is another pleasant surprise, building a huge DJ Muggs-style beat behind the rapper's gruff voice. And the rest of the album is actually pretty decent, highlighted by some interesting industrial metal that never falls below average. Altogether, this is a pretty good album that may not live up to the standards set by the little-heard Faust soundtrack album, but still delivers enough good music to please pickier fans of the genre. ~ Bradley Torreano | | With a splatter-filled zombie/mutant video-game-cum-horror-film providing the inspiration, all corners of the aggro-rock nation pulled together to serve up seething songs for the RESIDENT EVIL soundtrack. Filled with plenty of previously unreleased material, much of the music is characterized by guttural growling, trip-hammer time signatures, and teeth-rattling guitar playing by groups like Slipknot ("My Plague [New Abuse Mix]"), Mudvayne ("Dig [Everything And Nothing Remix]"), and Static-X ("Anything But This"). Other participants chose to take an equally dark but more melodic approach, including vets Fear Factory ("Invisible Wounds [The Suture Mix]") and Rammstein ("Halleluja") along with rookies Five Pointe O ("The Infinity"). | | Electronica mavens Crystal Method even pump up the testosterone on "Name Of The Game (Clean Game)," featuring crunchy riffing by guest guitarist Rage Against The Machine's Tom Morello. The only other departures from the nu-metal content of this collection come via Depeche Mode's previously unreleased, slithering cover of The Stooges' "Dirt" and Method Man's Prodigy Mix of "Release Yo' Delph" complete with sampled fanfare and chock-a-block rhythms. Most impressive is Marilyn Manson's quartet of murky instrumentals co-written with Tim Skold that include the main title theme and the equally sinister "Seizure of Power." |
