Heavy Metal 2000

 (24 customer reviews)

I was disappointed in this soundtrack. I am from the oldergeneration of fans who enjoyed the original Heavy Metal film andsoundtrack. I would have thought Ozzy or Metallica would have contributed some music on here... nada! Monster Magnet and Pantara have a good tunes, but that's about it. Other then that, its from more of the new wave of grunge bands. The original one had some big names, at the time, Cheap Trick, Black Sabbath, Devo, just to name a few. I looked at Heavy Metal's web site about the movie, and it looks to be a single story line, instead of six story lines as in the original film. And the film will be shown on a TMC ENCORE, and at theaters but only at midnight showings. I hope the movie does not follow the soundtrack, that would be a huge disappointment. I made the same mistake I did with "Rob Zombie Presents: Frankenstine", NOW THAT WAS A WASTE! Not an ounce of Zombie music on there, just old film score from the vaults. This is the second time I have...Read more

Heavy Metal 2000 is probably one of the best soundtracks I have ever purchased in my life. It has a good variety of modern metal. You have grunge-metal (Full Devil Jacket, Monster Magnet) techno-metal (MDFMK, Apartment 26) full on heavy metal (Pantera, Machine Head) and many others in between. Most soundtracks I find myself having to skip over a bunch of tracks just to get to the few I do like, but I like just about every song on this CD. Time for the run-down:1. F.A.K.K. U - Ok, sorry, I just don't listen to this. Kinda dumb. 1/52. Monster Magnet - Silver Future - Probably my favorite song on this soundtrack. Different from a lot of their newer stuff. Great lyrics and a just overall powerful song. 5/53. MDFMK - Missing Time - I liked them better when they were referred to as KMFDM, but this track is surprisingly good and different from most of the stuff on here. 4/54. Pantera - Immortally Insane - It's definetly a Pantera song. Fans who like their heaviest stuff will...Read more

When I heard that a new Heavy Metal movie was being produced, I immediately began to wonder when the soundtrack was going to be released and what artists would contribute to it. After all, I have been a great fan of the original movie and I thought its soundtrack was one of the best ever. So, while I was looking up information about the new soundtrack, I came across several reviews (many from this site) for the original movie soundtrack. What really seemed to surprise me about some of those reviews was the fact that some newer fans felt "cheated" or disappointed in that album's content. They felt that since it was called "Heavy Metal", it should have been wall-to-wall riffs and power-chording. However, they may have failed to realize that the Heavy Metal movie name came from the popular sci-fi magazine of the same name, not from the type of music that would be found on its soundtrack. Well, it seems the producers of this soundtrack have forgotten the...Read more
