An Average Rock Soundtrack with a Nice Score Suite

"Given that the intent of this soundtrack CD was to capitalize on the rock songs from the movie, it's a bit unfortunate that they left out some of the music from the film (most notably some of those cool heavy metal songs that 'Tash was listening to.). But what's included on here is fair. The first two songs, "Tortured" and "Condition" are the only ones that I can really enjoy out of the pop tracks. About 15 minutes of the original motion picture score by Christopher Young are also included on this album, in the form of the last two tracks, "Urban Legend" and "Sex Advice With An Axe". The 15 minutes of music included in these two tracks are actually a suite, a collection of cues from different parts of the film. Some of the best score cuts are included in this two-track suite, including some very loud, fast-paced chase/horror music, so those who can't get a hold of Young's promotional score album won't be left without this nice bit of music. Overall, not a bad choice, but it might have been smarter of Milan to release an all-score CD of Young's music rather than the actual pop/score album that we have here."
