Hanuting & Emotional

"Although many Anne Rice fans didn't care much for the movie, I myself enjoyed it. You must realize this isn't the book made itself. It is an adaptation of sorts - bits and pieces of 2 molded to make a stunning audio/visual experience. The music in this film is absolutely haunting. If you have ever read any of the Vampire Chronicles and created the characters and scenery in your mind then you undertand when I say haunting. The music takes you to a place you only imagined. You can almost feel the pain, lonliness and resentment in the music. It's as if you are transported to this nocturnal world in a way you never thought possible. The music is mysterious, exciting, relaxing and sensual all at the same time. A journey in itself worth every minute."
Very Eerie

"I have waited for this CD to come out for half a year and finally I have it. I don't mind the wait becasue this is an excellent score. My favorites would have to be the very chilling "Jesse's Dream", it reminds me somewhat of "Claudia's Allegro Agitato" from the Interview with the Vampire Soundtrack. The track fits perfectly with the scene. I think that "On the Beach" has become widely popular, the excellent piece with Shankar's double violin is truly great and his violin work on the fourth track "Secret Passage" is almost as good. Also I thoroughly enjoy "Air Lestat" and "The Queen is Dead" which is really haunting. Jonathan Davis and Richard Gibbs didn't go wrong with this album at all.I guess the only problem I could have with this album is that instead of the full 20 tracks that were the score only the 10 best were selected for distribution. I would pay twice the amount if it meant having all the tracks. But I take what I can get.Olga"

"The score to "Queen of the Damned" is very dark and mournful, but the violin parts are fantastic, especially in "On the Beach" and the vocal album is just as good. The movie speaks for itself on how terrific it is and the music from "Interview with the Vampire" almost as good, though if you are more for classical music it is better. I also recomment the movie "Dracula" (The one directed by Francis Ford Copolla) and its soundtrack (the song "The Storm" is simply captivating!)"
Outstanding

"Davis did a beautiful job crafting the lyrics and the musical accompaniment to more closelymatch the mood of the original books than the movie itself. The music can be eerily chilling or straightforward thrilling. In the movie, Davis did sing the lyrics himself. His record label forbid him to release an album with any other company, so he had guest singers sing his lyrics on the soundtrack and a different singer for the score."
