"My girlfriend purchased me this CD after constantly talking about how much I enjoyed the SAW franchise. I am a big fan of both the movie releases and the music from the movies. In my prior reviews of SAW soundtracks, I pretty much stated that the original SAW motion picture soundtrack was the best for it incorporated the sounds and music from the actual movie with cuts of artists adding to the overall mix. In Saw II, you only had one song from the SAW II the movie included on the CD. Having gone through the complete SAW III soundtrack several times I am disappointed in seeing again only one song included from the actual movie and that is only included by the last track "S**thole Theme".



In giving this album 3.5 rating I must state that out of the 20 songs there were 5 songs by artists that I liked and they were 'Monochrome' by Helmet, 'No More' by Drowning Pool, 'Drilled A Wire Through My Cheek' by Blue October and 'Killer Inside' by Hydrovibe that also featured one of the actress adding vocals musically. Also another good rock song was 'Saqqara' by Hourcast.



The rest of the CD tracks were a tad too rough and course for me. I like my rock but at a softer feel and sound. I can't stand a singer shouting and screaming into a mic, for no good reason. It sounded like a B-grade heavy metal sound. Again we were not given the opportunity to witness more of Charlie Clouser's beautiful composing.



I hope for the SAW IV soundtrack, the producers will return to giving us wanting listeners a split between music from the movie and some from differing artists. But overall this soundtrack wasn't half bad. I just will in the future playing of this album skip several songs that irritate me."

Intense!!!

"Intense music for an intense movie. My favorite artist on the soundtrack is Blue October. But There isn't a bad song on the cd."

Again not excellent just as 2nd one...
