Product Review

Queen of the Damned, the movie starring Aaliyah features a soundtrack including Marilyn Manson, Papa Roach, Orgy, Static X. The soundtrack also includes a first time solo offering from Chester Bennington of Linkin Park. Warner Bros. Records. 2002.

Amazon.com

Befitting the film's hip goth vibe, its accompanying soundtrack is suitably dark and sexy, with a strong mix of new songs and nü-metal hits. In an interesting move, Korn frontman Jonathan Davis collaborated with composer (and former Oingo Boingo keyboardist) Richard Gibbs on 5 of the CD's 14 tracks, though Davis doesn't sing his songs. Instead, taking those duties are Static-X's Wayne Static on "Not Meant for Me," Disturbed's David Draiman on "Forsaken," Linkin Park's Chester Bennington on "System," Marilyn Manson on "Redeemer," and Orgy's Jay Gordon on "Slept So Long." Most of the Davis-Gibbs collaborations are akin to more atmospheric, dramatic Korn tunes, lent a distinctive personality by each singer, with Manson's being the creepiest-coolest and most aggressive entry. While these adroit alliances make the soundtrack a must-have for each of the band's fans (not to mention the Korn faithful), the previously released cuts are also winners. Deftones' creepy "Change," Papa Roach's angry "Dead Cell," and Disturbed's memorable rage "Down with the Sickness"--in addition to lesser-known, but sinister and titillating offerings from Godhead, Kidney Thieves, Earshot, Tricky, and others--are all worth the price of admission to this "damned" stellar soundtrack. --Katherine Turman

5.0 out of 5 stars Finally.. The Ultimate Soundtrack is upon us., February 19, 2002
Bradley Tobin (Penrith, Sydney NSW Australia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Queen of the Damned (Audio CD)
When I heard that Jonathon Davis was writing 5 songs for the "Queen of the Damned" soundtrack.. Sure, i was excited, but i had no idea that it would turn out this brilliant. The five songs that he wrote have rapidly become 5 of my all time favourites. Everything about them, mood, lyrics.. It all fits a discontent Vampire like Lestat perfectly. In the process of writing these songs, Davis has given Lestat more character and more soul.. Which is a pretty mean feat. Yes, they may sound a bit like Gothic Korn songs.. But i see no problem with that. With lyrics like "I've killed a million petty souls, but i couldn't.. Couldn't kill you... I've slept so long without you", and "I'm trapped in this world, lonely and fading, heartbroke and waiting, for you to come... We're, stuck in this world.. That's not meant for me" and finally "I hear it fading, i can't speak it, or else you will dig my grave".. John has made Lestat more of a tortured soul, a little more human, a little more confused,...Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Me? I'm satisfied., February 26, 2002
A. Estes (Maine) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Queen of the Damned (Audio CD)
Very few soundtracks anymore actually match and capture the content and the atmosphere of the movie it was made for, but the Queen of the Damned soundtrack stays true to the movie. As we all know, Jonathan Davis (Korn) and Richard Gibbs wrote and composed 5 of the songs on here, but due to legal issues with Korn's label, Epic, Jonathan's vocals could only appear in the movie, but not on the soundtrack. Five well known vocalists were brought in to sing these songs instead. The songs are: 'Not Meant For Me' sung by Wayne from Static-X, 'Forsaken' sung by David from Disturbed (My personal favorite song on here), 'System' sung by Chester from Linkin Park, 'Redeemer' sung by Marilyn Manson himself, and 'Slept So Long' sung by Jay from Orgy. A few of the songs feature Head & Munky from Korn on guitars and Sam Rivers from Limp Bizkit on bass, but other than those few songs, Jonathan handles all the bass, guitar and some drum work. These five songs are undeniably the highlight of the album...Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome soundtrack!, December 7, 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Queen of the Damned (Audio CD)
despite never seeing the movie(yet), i heard that its soundtrack was really good. so i decided to check it out on amazon[.com] and download a couple of songs. after listening to them, i decided to go buy the soundtrack. it is awesome! all the songs are so excellent. unlike a lot of movie soundtracks, which jump from rock songs to pop songs to jazz songs, it sticks with one general type of music-hard rock. anyway, i will give you a quick rating of each song-

1. not meant for me-5/5
2. forsaken-5/53. system-5/5 FAV SONG! chester's voice is awesome!
4. change(in the house of flies)-kinda creepy vocals, but cool-4.5/5
5. redeemer-never been a big manson fan,but i like this song weird beginning-4.5/5
6. dead cell-not quite fitting for the soundtrack, but i like this song-4.5/5
7. penetrate-3.5/5
8. slept so long-5/5
9. down with the sickness-im not a big disturbed fan, either, but this song is pretty cool-4/5
