if we're talking mediocre, tuneless, hookless, un-rocking, zeitgeist-grabbing record, then yeah, ugh. so bad.

Wasn't there some sort of sequel to The Crow OST released a few years later, like "Music inspired by music inspired by The Crow"? It probably had Everclear on it.

― Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Wednesday, 12 May 2004 11:23 (9 years ago) Permalink

well Radiohead originally wrote "Exit Music" for Romeo and Juliet, so it's kind of an implied soundtrack. And that's a masterpiece, so I go with Crow.

Yes it is. It is PAINFULLY slow and horrible. Soft Cell's cover is far superior (as are others I'm sure).

Anyway, it has "Burn" on it, it is not laden with total damnation. But it's not the best album ever by any means, not even close.

Search:

1. Burn performed by Cure - 6:39 :: not totally vital, but not too shabby either. I rank this alongside 'Never Enough' w/ their second tier, but still highly listenable, 90s pre-Wild Mood Swings singles.
3. Big Empty performed by Stone Temple Pilots - 4:56 :: I was never as big on this as some, but the chorus hook is objectively undeniable. iirc this is where they first revealed themselves as descent pop band, despite having been previously disguised as Candlebox or whatever.
4. Dead Souls performed by Nine Inch Nails - 4:54 :: this works just about as well as you'd expect, which is pretty OK. Trent's snarl works well w/ the chorus.
12. Snakedriver performed by Jesus & Mary Chain - 3:41 :: one of my all-time fave Mary Chain tracks tbh. This KILLED live, actually. I think one reason I like it so much is that I imagine it blasting out of massive amplifiers & engulfed by a swarm of feedback
13. Time Baby III performed by Medicine - 3:52 - don't listen to Ned. These guys were pretty good - I don't remember if the version here is the one produced by Robin Guthrie w/ Liz Fraser singing backup, but that is obv the version you want!

I honestly don't remember any other tracks b/c these ^ I knew from other records. Still even if it comes down to those five, it is seems reasonably salvageable for a standard 90s alternarock movie soundtrack.

For some reason I thought I had already posted about how at CTY one summer I learned Big Empty off the OST and played/sang it acoustic at the talent show. Later that day the girl I had a crush on came over to me and said "all the girls on my floor think you have a sexy voice," -- to which the only response I could muster was a squeaky "cool!" She made a grossed-out face and walked away.

It's not like I think Brand/Cruise/Baldwin/et al could be doing something better with their time - probably anything they'd be involved in would be an undignified mess. And I don't care about the stage musical or the original 80's songs. It's just that I'm insulted that somebody thought that this would be entertainment. I literally just found out, so maybe the anger will wear off. Or maybe not, because of the trio of bellends involved.
