How I love this album, oh let me count the ways, February 9, 2006
While the movie as a whole as a dissapointment this soundtrack soars above because it does what a soundtrack for a movie starring Dracula should do (no, not suck) it brutally pulverizes your senses and leaves you drained! Hows that for a play on words for ya...Anyways, with unreleased and killer tracks by Powerman 5000 and Disturbed as well as some new cuts by old hats like Pantara and the brilliantly awsomely brutal 'Bloodline' by Slayer, this album gets off to one hell of a right foot. 'A Welcome Burden' is a welcome release and SoaD's remake of Berlin's 'Metro' is crazy and brilliant all at the same time, off the wall and in your face. One of the standout tracks here. Monster Magnet delivers a great one-two-punch and Pantara tramples you to the ground with 'Avoid the Light'. I would have liked to see a different Linkin Park song incorporated for 'One Step Closer' was so over-played at the time, but the inclution of Taproots 'Day by Day' was nice since that song was so under-played. A new band on the scene back in 2000 was Endo, and as they have evolved into one awsome band it's cool to see their start here. 'Malice' shows quite a bit of talent if I might add. Godhead surprised me by turning out one awsome track featuring the vocal talents of the one and only Manson...just knew he had to show up somewhere on a soundtrack promoting vampires. 'Swan Dive' is a great escape from the metal front although Static-X upset me with their weak offering. I know they can do much better than that! Anyways, thats just a short run down of this awsome album sure to make your skin crawl and your eardrums beg for mercy...and thats a good thing!

Some good, some bad...., August 17, 2001
I'm not much of a fan of movie soundtracks. It's often extremely difficult to find a compilation of songs which is cohesive and enjoyable in one listen. Dracula 2000 falls in that category of being overall unsatisfying and tepid. The producers put mainly a bunch of new-metal radio hits on there (Linkin Park, Saliva, Disturbed) with a few respectable songs (Slayer, Pantera, Godhead, Monster Magnet). Most of these songs have absolutely NOTHING to do with vampires or horror or anything resembling the movie. Soundtracks like Moulin Rouge create a glammy, sleazy feeling, O' Brother, Where Art Thou? creates a swampy deep-south feeling while The Matrix is purely futuristic and techno. Not saying I like glam or bluegrass but these are perfect counterparts to their movie which they represent. Dracula 2000 has nothing to do with vampires except for two songs. The overall sound (except for a few songs) is like listening to your local alternative rock station, and it doesn't even rock. I'm sure this ranks high among the 13-year old MTV fans who love Linkin Park, but for people who like dark or vampiric music, like myself, this is something to strongly consider buying. Buy it for Slayer and Pantera, not for Linkin Park and Disturbed. The soundtrack matches the movie, and that's not a good thing either.

Just download "Metro", August 6, 2001
Most of the stuff on here is rap metal. If you like that genre of music you'll love this soundtrack. If you like good metal, download the tracks by System of a Down, Pantera, and Slayer. You'll be happy you weren't suckered into buying the soundtrack like I was.
