Moritz. He's a new kind of secret agent. He throws out the martinis, but keeps the promiscuity. He's sly, not suave. He doesn't cotton to conventions -- he creates his own rules. He apparently doesn't really care about music, if the soundtrack to XXX -- better known as Vin Diesel is triple X! -- is to be trusted. Where James Bond had John Barry, XXX has a bunch of alt-metal meatheads and hardcore hip-hop hombres, providing a soundtrack for the extreme sports that are XXX's background. Yes, it's another soundtrack specifically directed at its target audience, and while it can't be faulted for that, it's hard not to wish that there were less of the dunderheaded Hatebreed and Rammstein (who have never sounded stupider than they do on "Feurer Frei," with its chorus of "BANG BANG!"), especially because there are good moments: Drowning Pool's "Bodies" sounds better than ever in its Vrenna XXX Mix, Gavin Rossdale's first solo track, "Adrenaline," is Bush with a hip makeover, and Queens of the Stone Age show why they're considered the great hard rock of the time by delivering melodic -- that's right, melodic -- counterpoints to the verse and chorus of their contribution, "Millionaire." The hip-hop is more or less a wash, and while there isn't anything particularly noteworthy anywhere here, it does sustain its mood throughout, which is all that it really needs to do. Still, it's hard not to think that a new kind of secret agent should at least have something more than mood music for his soundtrack, especially if he isn't going to wind up with his own theme. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine He's a new kind of secret agent.

The film's soundtrack features a stylish collection of the hottest contemporary musical acts. Chris Vrenna inches house beats into Drowning Pool's nu metal slam-fest, "Bodies." Reigning kings of stoner rock Queens Of The Stone Age weigh in with "Millionaire," featuring Foo Fighter Dave Grohl on drums. Bush vocalist Gavin Rossdale teams with pop veteran songwriter/producer Glen Ballard for "Adrenaline." Nelly will have hydraulics poppin' in the sure-fire hip-hop anthem, "Stick Out Ya Wrist," featuring Toya sizing up the song's suitor. Mack 10 passes the mic to his West Siders on "Connected For Life," while N.E.R.D. sports funky syncopation on "Truth Or Dare." Joi does her best Prince nod in "Lick," while new jack Dani Stevnson gets hands up in the air on "Yo Yo Yo." Mixmaster Timbaland lends production to Pastor Troy and Ms Jade, who make a quick exit on "Are We Cuttin'."
