3.0 out of 5 stars Bram Stoker's Dracula aside,, April 20, 2000

By	"drevil4934" (RI) - See all my reviews

Arlington Road comes second as the scariest soundtrack I've heard. Although nearly the entire CD is based around a low, monotonous bass that never seems to shut up (reminicent of RIVEN), the recording dishes out several horrifically unpresedented explosions of music that usually forbode an equally exciting chase piece. I can't specify which track it does this in since they all sound the same and never have a very short interval of quiet when the next track begins, but I will say that if the composer were to trim a lot of the pointless themes and parts where there is almost no music (save the ever present bass) he would have a fairly decent soundtrack with merit. Instead it's an occasional thrill here, but not much above watching someone sweep the floor.

5.0 out of 5 stars Gripping music., July 17, 1999

I agree with the previous positive reviewer. The music can literally replay the movie in your head. The theme and tracks 17-19 especially bring me a feeling of mind numbing desperation. I find myself driving faster when I listen to it in my car. Arlington Road: great movie, amazing soundtrack.

5.0 out of 5 stars Angelo Badalamenti scores again, August 4, 2001

By	Dana Shaw "catcherz51" (Weston, Florida USA) - See all my reviews

This is one of the best soundtracks I've ever listened to. It is even better than the Twister soundtrack I bought a couple of years ago. When I first saw the movie, I was stunned and terrified. Personally, I think the bass on track 13 "The Truth is Out There" is fantastic. It goes well with the scenario in the movie. Also, the "Neon Reprise" part of Track 1 was good. I think they should make a sequel to Arlington Road because the first one was so good. Thank you.
