"Here is a prime example where the music was better than the movie. Alan Silvestri has done a great job depicting the beauty and terror of the volcano in his theme, "March of the Lava." You can almost imagine a river of lava flowing through your own backyard! Track 2, "Miracle Mile" is full of suspense and sheer fright, worthy of any Aliens movie. Track 5, "Build a Wall", shows the heroism of the firefighters and the bonding of the people as they work together to put out the ever raging flames. Track 8, "Cleansing Rain", depicts the relief of the people as the volcano has been stopped and they can finally rest to look around at what has been done. The soundtrack basically WAS the movie and I highly recommend it to you."
