1.0 out of 5 stars "WHERE'S THE METAL? ", April 28, 2000

By	Astrotrain (USA) - See all my reviews

I was disappointed in this soundtrack. I am from the oldergeneration of fans who enjoyed the original Heavy Metal film andsoundtrack. I would have thought Ozzy or Metallica would have contributed some music on here... nada! Monster Magnet and Pantara have a good tunes, but that's about it. Other then that, its from more of the new wave of grunge bands. The original one had some big names, at the time, Cheap Trick, Black Sabbath, Devo, just to name a few. I looked at Heavy Metal's web site about the movie, and it looks to be a single story line, instead of six story lines as in the original film. And the film will be shown on a TMC ENCORE, and at theaters but only at midnight showings. I hope the movie does not follow the soundtrack, that would be a huge disappointment. I made the same mistake I did with "Rob Zombie Presents: Frankenstine", NOW THAT WAS A WASTE! Not an ounce of Zombie music on there, just old film score from the vaults. This is the second time I have bought a "lemon". L8TR!

5.0 out of 5 stars One of my most played soundtracks, October 24, 2001

By	Mr. Censored (Maine) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)

Heavy Metal 2000 is probably one of the best soundtracks I have ever purchased in my life. It has a good variety of modern metal. You have grunge-metal (Full Devil Jacket, Monster Magnet) techno-metal (MDFMK, Apartment 26) full on heavy metal (Pantera, Machine Head) and many others in between. Most soundtracks I find myself having to skip over a bunch of tracks just to get to the few I do like, but I like just about every song on this CD. Time for the run-down:

1. F.A.K.K. U - Ok, sorry, I just don't listen to this. Kinda dumb. 1/5

2. Monster Magnet - Silver Future - Probably my favorite song on this soundtrack. Different from a lot of their newer stuff. Great lyrics and a just overall powerful song. 5/5

3. MDFMK - Missing Time - I liked them better when they were referred to as KMFDM, but this track is surprisingly good and different from most of the stuff on here. 4/5

4. Pantera - Immortally Insane - It's definetly a Pantera song. Fans who like their heaviest stuff will probably love this song. Fits the movie really well. 5/5

5. Zilch - Inside the Pervert Mound - One of the tracks that I just don't like. Doesn't do much for me. 1/5

6. Insane Clown Posse - Dirtball - The WORST group on this CD. 1/5

7. System of a Down - Storaged - Short but sweet. This song was taken from the Sugar EP which is now out of print, so diehard SOAD fans should track this song down. 5/5

8. Days of the New - Rough Day - To be honest, I didn't like their first CD, but the new stuff is pretty good. More than just your typical grunge. 4/5

9. Sinisstar - Psychosexy - One of Fred Durst's new bands. Actually pretty good and different than most bands out there. A very punk-ish track. 4/5

10. Queens of the Stone Age - Infinity - Heavier than most of their stuff. Sounds a lot like the Doors. Fits the movie really well though. 5/5

11. Machine Head - Alcoholocaust - Different than anything on the Burning Red. Kind of a muddy track though, not up to standards. 4/5

12. Full Devil Jacket - Green Iron Fist - One of my favorite new bands. Grunge mixed with heavy metal. Josh screams more on this track than in most of their other songs. 5/5

13. Hate Dept. - Hit Back - I had never heard of these guys until this soundtrack. Not really my type of music. Too much like Marilyn Manson. 1/5

14. Puya - Tirale - Very good use of the bass on this song. Sort of mellow for Puya, but still, a very very great track. 5/5

15. Apartment 26 - Dystopia - Not one of their best songs, but can be cool to listen to if you're in the mood for something different. 3/5

16. Billy Idol - Buried Alive - Typical Billy Idol. Even though he's old, he's still got it. A very moody, creepy track. 4/5

17. Coal Chamber - Wishes - Way better than a lot of their album stuff. Wishes is a B-Side from Chamber Music. Very energetic. 5/5

18. Bauhaus - Dog's a Vapour - I realize a lot of people who bought this soundtrack were fans of this band and wanted something new, but it's definetly not my type of music and it's really boring to me. 1/5

Overall, Heavy Metal 2000 is a really great soundtrack with only about 3 songs to avoid. It's a good mix, and I recommend it to anyone who wants to discover some newer bands.

2.0 out of 5 stars A few decent tracks, hope the movie is better..., April 21, 2000

By A Customer

When I heard that a new Heavy Metal movie was being produced, I immediately began to wonder when the soundtrack was going to be released and what artists would contribute to it. After all, I have been a great fan of the original movie and I thought its soundtrack was one of the best ever. So, while I was looking up information about the new soundtrack, I came across several reviews (many from this site) for the original movie soundtrack. What really seemed to surprise me about some of those reviews was the fact that some newer fans felt "cheated" or disappointed in that album's content. They felt that since it was called "Heavy Metal", it should have been wall-to-wall riffs and power-chording. However, they may have failed to realize that the Heavy Metal movie name came from the popular sci-fi magazine of the same name, not from the type of music that would be found on its soundtrack. Well, it seems the producers of this soundtrack have forgotten the same thing. Aside from tracks from Monster Magnet, Bauhaus (great to hear new stuff from them!), Pantera, and a few others, a good portion of the album is just filler noise. I certainly hope the movie doesn't follow in the soundtrack's footsteps and fail to deliver onscreen. It would truly be a shame.
