Editorial Reviews

In a bordering-on-brilliant idea, the overseers of The Spawn soundtrack proposed an idea to a host of bands that went something like this: "you metal kids go play nice with the electronic geeks and maybe you'll make beautiful music together." Well, guess what? It happened. From the sexy, screamy sounds of the opening cut "Can't You Trip Like I Do" (courtesy of Filter and The Crystal Method) to the funkified "One Man Army" (Rage Against The Machine's Tom Morello mixing it up with The Prodigy), the disc is as hot as the Spawn's home and twice as heavy as the monster himself. If you like the CD, rent the video; the soundtrack is front and center in the film, kind of like MTV with a plot. --Denise Sheppard

5.0 out of 5 stars I need to re-comment, January 27, 2006

By	Eric S. Kim (Southern California) - See all my reviews

Since years have passed and I have matured enough to write a better review, here it goes...

This is one of the darkest and most superb soundtracks that is out there right now. Combining rock metal with electronica was pure genius. Each song has its own significant deliverance, such as revenge and restoration. Filter and the Crystal Method's "(Can't You) Trip Like I Do" had me hooked for months with its dance-like tone, while Orbital's remix of "Satan" with Kirk Hammett made my spine tingle with its creepy rhythms. "Tiny Rubberband" is so wierd it's incredible. "Familiar" and "A Plane Scraped Its Belly on a Sooty Yellow Moon" are so-so songs, otherwise this CD overall is a must for people who enjoy metal and techno. This gets an A+ from me.

5.0 out of 5 stars Really, really, really cool, August 12, 1999

By	the chair fan (Texas, USA) - See all my reviews

This album rocks, totally. First off, I am not a Manson fan or anything, but I like that type of music, and Long Hard Road Outta Hell really fit this movie (bad as it was), and is a great song. Trip Like I Do has got to be one of the best on there, but since I am the biggest silverchair fan, I think Spawn is the best song outta all of 'em. Summary: buy the cd, it's great, avoid the movie (big time, it's kinda corny and really stupid.)

5.0 out of 5 stars masterpiece of electronic music, September 6, 2004

By	J. Irps "krazejjklown" (sparta) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

the spawn soundtrack has the largest collaboration of big named artists i have ever seen on any cd ever. 2 bands per song, a couple of songs are just unforgettable

trip like i do by crystal method and filter was by far the best collaboration of any groups. this is one of my favorite songs ever made. track 1

long hard road out of hell from marilyn manson and sneaker pimps was one best songs by either of these bands and i am a fan of both of theirs. track 2

tiny rubberband from butthole surfers and moby was a great song, slow paced and great to listen to. great butthole surfers song. track 5

familiar from dj greyboy and incubus has to be the best incubus song i have heard because i don't like much of their other songs and this one is enjoyable. track 12

the rest of the soundtrack was still very good, but those are my highlights to the cd. if you haven't heard this cd, get it. you will love it especially if you are a fan of any of the many, many artists.
