4.0 out of 5 stars Good nostalgia, not much actual metal December 22, 2005
Format:Audio CD
I saw this movie as a youth, and the soundtrack was the first record I ever bought that was rock 'n roll. A good start, I must say. The original record was a double-album. Funny nowadays that you can fit that on one CD.

But even after all of these years, some of these tracks still stand out as some of my favorites: Cheap Trick's Reach Out and I Must Be Dreamin', Black Sabbath's Mob Rules, Blue Oyster Cult's Veteran of the Psychic Wars, and the Devo and Riggs tracks are all great. The mellow stuff, even as a kid, I could do without. Interestingly, the follow up movie has a soundtrack that is truly all metal, yet that soundtrack and film are far inferior to this original.

The film has aged, but if you were a fan of the magazine back then and can remember what animation was like back then; you can still probably bring yourself back to that time and remember what made it so good.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sit down, shut up, and hang on... December 9, 2005
By Kat
Format:Audio CD
Of the hundreds of "albums" I own, this is definitely among the most listened to. Forget what other reviewers say about "it's not heavy metal music" and there's only "x" number of good songs... This album will evoke and satisfy the audiophile in anyone who can appreciate music, regardless of genre. Heavy Metal was merely the name of the album, the movie which it aurally illustrates, and the magazine which inspired it. Don't be so literal. Don't be so judgemental. Shut up and enjoy the music.

(In fact, buy it, slide it into your CD player, turn it up loud and go for a nice long drive to nowhere... you won't regret it)

4.0 out of 5 stars A vinyl classic. January 23, 2006
By H3@+h
Format:Audio CD
There's only one thing as cool as seeing this movie at midnight in the right state of mind, and that's this soundtrack. Even without the connection to the film, the tracklist is awesome. Included is the great title song from Sammy Hagar, the odd-but-cool cover from Devo, a huge hit from Journey, and killer tunes from Blue Oyster Cult, Don Felder, Sabbath (with Dio), and the beautiful Stevie Nicks. If the 70's were your decade, this is your soundtrack. Sure, by todays standards this might not be considered metal, but it is classic, it is heavy, and it does rock!
