1.0 out of 5 stars Warning, April 29, 2003

This review is from: Die Hard With A Vengeance: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack (Audio CD)

A collection of "ethnic" rap tunes and some poorly played classical pieces are the sum total of this horrible CD. Be warned that in the movie "When Johnny Came Marching Home" is played continuously but is no where to be found in the Soundtrack.
While the soundtrack does have Beethoven's 9th symphony it is played so horribly that it does not make this a worthy purchase.
Buyer beware.

2.0 out of 5 stars A poor soundtrack, March 25, 2002

For some reason this soundtrack has completely missed the mark. There are some songs on it, but mostly rap, (Thank god they included Summer In The City by The Loving Spoonful), some classical pieces, but I don't recall Beethoven's Ninth being in the movie, and some additional score. If you're looking for a soundtrack with a cool collection of songs, you're in the wrong place. If you're a "real" soundtrack collector, you'll be disappointed that the "Ants Go Marching" theme, which was featured so prominently in the film, can't be found anywhere on this soundtrack.

About half the CD consists of score, and since the original "Die Hard" album was never commercially released ... the only real reason for buying this album is to get as much of the legendary "Die Hard" score as possible... And now they've even stopped printing this album...

1.0 out of 5 stars Don't get ripped off, October 20, 2006

Well...I have only one thing to say about this soundtrack selection. Whoever created this soundtrack was on "CRACK!" and needs to be removed from the music industry. I mean how can the "Main" score in the movie not in the soundtrack selection? This is like going to Disneyland and not see Mickey but Bugs Bunny? (No ofense to Bugs. I love you :p) Too bad I found this review way too late till after I have purchased it. (for $0.01) I think this soundtrack ain't worth listening to or better yet...to be looked at. For the price I've paid, I think I got ripped off.

BTW if anyone know where I can get my hands on the movie version of "When Johnny came marching Home" the acoustic version and also the Man's Chore version. Please share with the world. I think the people of the world will be very happy to find that someone do care for another's love for "GOOD MUSIC". :D
