4.0 out of 5 stars Average Movie, but Good Soundtrack., August 27, 2002

By	The Groove (Boston, MA) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)

This review is from: Romeo Must Die: The Album (Audio CD)

With the one year anniversary of Aaliyah's death already behind us, I thought it'd be a good idea to revisit the soundtrack to her feature film, "Romeo Must Die." This is a typical case where the soundtrack is far more effective than the movie, which, as an action/martial arts flick, was average at best. Aaliyah makes the strongest prescence here, particularly on the excellent "Try Again" (the best single of her short-lived career) and "Come Back in One Piece" with DMX. Both tracks, especially the former, serve up attitude, spark, and energy. But the spotlight isn't entirely on Aaliyah, though. Destiny's Child surfaces on the funky "Perfect Man," which has more soul, spunk, and verve than anything off their "Survivor" album. Chante Moore is impressive on the mid-tempo "This is a Test," and Ginuwine stands out on "Simply Irresistible." Quite frankly, there's a tad more hip hop on this CD than I'd care to listen to, and the final third of this soundtrack gets patchy, but it's an overall solid collection of r&b tunes that stand above much else in modern radio. In my school of music, the soundtrack to "Romeo Must Die" gets a B.

3.0 out of 5 stars This product's description is NOT accurate., March 19, 2007

By	Rykker - See all my reviews

Amazon, and subsequently, the Marketplace sellers who offer it, need to change the way this item is listed.
There are no explicit lyrics on this UK import. These are the same edited versions of the songs that are found on the US version of the CD. So if you are expecting the unedited versions of the songs that are found in the film (as I was), you won't find them here.
I will not completely trash this review; I do love this soundtrack (hence the three stars, rather than one or two). I must admit, though, I am disappointed. I was expecting this version to deliver the same 'full-flavor' that was given to us in the film.
