The Crow: City Of Angels - Original Miramax Motion Picture Soundtrack

 (36 customer reviews)

I'm probably one of only a handful of people who would say this (then again it might just be me and my brother), but in my opinion, this is the best of the three Crow movies/soundtracks. I'm currently listening to the cd and it's just wonderful. I've had the cd since the movie came out, and the longer I have it, the more I enjoy it. Although, I think the two rap songs kind of ruin the mood a little bit. My favorites include the first five tracks (I could just sit here and listen to Bush's "In A Lonely Place" until my batteries die), NY Loose's "Spit', Korn's "Sean Olson", and Iggy Pop's "I Wanna Be Your Dog". All in all, this is a great cd and I'm glad I bought it.

Wow, I can't believe all the heat this cd got by other people because of the inclusion of the "2 rap songs". This cd is all .... except for the absolutely phenomenal track, "Tonite is a Special Nite" by Tricky and Gravediggaz. Truly one of the most innovative and sonically interesting rap tracks of all time. I'm guessin everyone else is a strictly metal fan but I'm saying, listen to that track a few more times before you dismiss it... its genius. Then again anyhting with RZA involved tends to be genius.

I've been carrying around a battle-scarred copy of this CD for years. While I don't revisit the alt-rock hits at the beginning, I have discovered a jewel near the end of the disc - Iggy Pop's live version of "I Wanna Be Your Dog". It is an absolutely blistering track. I don't know how many people out there are Stooges fans, but this version beats the original on their first album, hands down. Iggy manages to pack more power and sleaze into 3 minutes than any of these other bands can put on an album.
