Amazon.com

With a career that's seen her soar from struggling journeywoman to superstar via a fateful invitation to join Fleetwoood Mac, the singer who now bills herself as the most successful female artist in rock history looks back on the various facets of her iconography with this 16-track career retrospective and its accompanying DVD. The mystic-folkie ethos that has long been her caricature are well showcased via the cult fave Rumours outtake/B-side "Silver Spring," the muscular Sheryl Crow collaboration "Sorcerer," and a live version of the moody "Rhiannon" that casts it in even longer shadows. Yet Stevie Nicks has always displayed a willingness to push herself beyond her hippie muse, as witnessed by the dense aura of Deep Dish's remix of Mac's "Dreams" and such disparate, pop-savvy solo highlights as "I Can't Wait," "Stand Back," and shrewd, successful duets with Tom Petty ("Stop Draggin' My Heart Around") and Don Henley ("Leather and Lace"). Indeed, bookended by the original version of the hit "Edge of Seventeen" and a live revamping with the Melbourne Symphony that amps its every melodramatic nuance, reinvention often seems the anthology's subtext. The included DVD compiles 13 of Nicks's evocative videos with new commentary by her, as well as an insightful, previously unreleased home video shot during the Bella Donna sessions. --Jerry McCulley

Album Description

An excellent compilation of the greatest hits. If your a "new" fan looking to hear some of the more popular songs from this artist--here's a one-stop shop! Great sound quality on the "live" songs.

5 out of 5 stars You Gotta Love Stevie!.......2007-07-04

Stevie Nicks is my all time greatest female vocalist. I loved this CD. The DVD disk that accompanies it is a real bonus! At the end of the DVD were the best clips...Stevie in the recording studio just being Stevie. You really got to see her at her most natural. I thought adding those video clips were a great treat for her fans. I did miss Beauty and the Beast though...I wish she would have included that song in this collection.

5 out of 5 stars A Great Retrospective Collection.......2007-06-30

The CD is fabulous, of course, but the real surprise was the DVD. If you watch the videos with the commentary on it's a real treat. Stevie gives us an insight into what was going on in her life at the time each of the videos were made and she does so with a sincerity and self-effacing sense of humor. Very nice. I was fortunate enough to have caught this tour in Norfolk and I will forever treasure the experience in my memory. Every track is a hit. I just don't see any talent like this out there on the scene today. There will never be another Stevie Nicks. Great stuff.

5 out of 5 stars Stevie Nicks Fan.......2007-06-27

If you are a Stevie Nicks lover like me then you will love this DVD/CD!
The commentary on the videos is great to listen to she is funny, as well as talented.

4 out of 5 stars New CD, please!!.......2007-05-31

I love Stevie Nicks, but it would be great to see her putting out a new CD. Doesn't she already have at least two greatest hits packages (Timespace and the Box Set)? Anyway, I don't know if she is planning to retire or has hit a song-writing block, but I really get tired when these artists continue to re-release compilations over and over again. I guess there is money to be made; otherwise, record companies would not do it. Still, to me, the point of "art" is art; not rehashing and repackaging old stuff over and over again for the almight dollar.

4 out of 5 stars 95%.......2007-05-30

I agree alot with R. Kyle's review of this CD, and ordered it even though it does not have all of her number 1 songs. BUT it does have 90% of them and on a CD, that's a gold mine.

Amazon lately has been out doing itself in getting my orders to me in less than 2 weeks. Way to go Amazon.

I love Stevie, therefore this was the perfect long awaited box set.. I've always loved the music because it's food for my soul but the dvd was wild to say the least because it got you that much closer to her as an artist.

5 out of 5 stars Still getting better.......2007-07-01

Andre has put out another high-quality CD that should only boost his stock. This CD is a wonderful listen with a lot of mellow tunes, and if you see him live, this CD will at least match your expectations from his shows.

The mellow tunes are headlined by "Andre's Theme", "New Orleans Lights" and "More Than Friends", the last of which has quickly become a favorite of mine. "When You're Alone" is also right up there, and "I Don't Want to Be In Love" also has a nice feel to it.

He picks up the pace nicely with a couple of songs, notably "Chicago (Here We Go)" and the final track, "When the Nighttime Comes".

All in all, this CD is a very worthy addition to your collection, just like his prior CDs.

5 out of 5 stars Just keeps getting better!.......2007-06-07

Andre continues to impress. His music transcends generations and genres. With each album, the artist has expanded his repertoire and his ability to entertain. A true gem.

5 out of 5 stars Wonderful.......2007-05-31

Andre Ward has put together a beautiful, melodic album worthy of being a part of any smooth jazz lover's collection. This one is a keeper.

5 out of 5 stars I Love It!.......2007-05-24

Andre Ward has taken his smooth saxophone sounds to the next level. I imagine as an artist you're always trying to improve your craft in a way that is meaningful. I would have to say not only has this been done but the standard has just been raised. There's something here for every listening taste without compromising. Not one day has gone by that I have not listened to this cd over and over again. My hope is that people reading THIS review will give this project a chance. You will not be disappointed in any way, shape or form. There's a song for people who enjoy stepping...Chicago Here We Go. There are wonderful vocals as well. Marc Nelson formerly of AZ Yet sings beautifully on I Don't Want to Be In Love. I absolutely love the vocalists on Wishful Thinking and More Than Friends. Instrumentally...Abstract is bananas. It's not like anything I've ever heard and I absolutely love it. New Orleans Lights gives me a chance to remember a time when that city was at its bold, bright and most beautiful best. The title cut Crystal City is absolutely beautiful and I fell in love with Andre's Theme long before the cd had officially been released. If you're looking for something fresh and innovative. A cd that you'll never grow tired of listening to, Crystal City is the one for you.
Andre...you did your thing!

5 out of 5 stars Movin' on up!.......2007-05-22

Andre ward's cd crystal city is a very well put together cd. Like the master grover washington,marion meadows and my favorite the late great george howard... andre has carved out his own voice among saxophonists. With this cd he plays the ewi on chicago{here we go}.Which is a steppers jam bringing to mind everette harp on that tune. Very nicely produced by yasha and orpheus records

When Ken Jordan and Scott Kirkland started distributing homemade singles around Los Angeles at the beginning of the '90s, their bass-fortified, hard-rolling techno concoctions perked up the ears of industry impresarios and local scenesters alike. Vegas, their affectionately-titled major label debut, refines the formula. Thick with layers of pounding beats and rock dynamics, it takes the typical club fare and beefs it up with a uniquely western slant. The detectable influences range from the power chords of AC/DC to old school hip-hop patterns to the smooth melodies of Stevie Wonder. On blistering tracks like "Trip Like I Do" and "Keep Hope Alive," the Crystal Method confirm that America has become a force of contention in the electronica field. --Aidin Vaziri

5 out of 5 stars Amazingly Jammin'.......2007-04-16

This album is a great electronic work from all sides. The album kicks off strong with Trip Like I Do a sexily danceable and hard hitting track that gets you in the groove for all tracks after. Highlight tracks like Busy Child, Keep Hope Alive, Vapor Trail, Bad Stone, Trip Like I Do, and most of the rest make it a Techno album I immensely enjoy.

5 out of 5 stars Their Signature CD.......2007-01-12

As someone coming from the less electronic, more funky mixes of Thievery Corporation, Tosca and K&D, I was a little hesitant to buy Vegas, but I'm glad that I did. Normally I don't care for the over-the-top bass and decidedly weak and unoriginal synth compositions you normally get in college bars or big city clubs (anyone with even moderate talent can produce that stuff with Live or GarageBand and the right collection of loops), but this is something totally apart from that. You can dance to Vegas, yes... it's got some intoxicating grooves... but it's also real music and not just the same sequences played over and over for 5 minutes like many of their peers. It's techno with soul.

What this reminds me of a little bit is the Fight Club soundtrack, although it's not as hard-edged as that work (from the Dust Brothers), with some funky beats and sounds perfectly mixed in at the right times. These guys are pretty talented and their studio skills are apparent. If you're going to buy one Crystal Method CD, based on everything I've heard and read, this is absolutely the one to get. Definitely recommended.

5 out of 5 stars The Most Supernatural Album Ever Composed!!! A Jewel For Any Music Collection!!!.......2006-11-09

Unclaimed and unfamiliar to the sounds of Drum and Bass and Electronica, it was the compilation of this original work, Vegas, that captured my ears with awe. Ever since the fat beats and sounds of this composition swelled my sense of hearing I have praised this Album by Crystal Method. This CD is one that will forever be included in my music collection and worthy to be replayed time and time again. Not many CDs in my large collection has such an acclaimed privilege, Nor are many CDs deserving of such.

Based on the resounding effect of this album, I label it as the MOST SUPERNATURAL ALBUM EVER COMPOSED for this genre. Some CM fans complain that this album is too highly extolled and therefore praise one album over another. A true Crystal Method zealot wouldn't do that. Doing that defames the group as a whole. Although I own this Album, I own other ones by Crystal Method and they are also valued. Equally respecting all albums hightens the credibility of the artists. Whether anyone agrees with this fact or not, briefly think about how many times you've heard music by the Crystal Method featured in television ads, television shows, video games, and theme parks (about three tracks from this specific album is played as background music in the waiting lines @ Six Flags Magic Mountain). What does this tell us? The music by Crystal Method is highly recognized. Yet, based on the average music junky, when a word about Crystal Method is made, this Album "Vegas" is readily distinguished. This just happens to be the jewel among their many CDs.

The beats recorded on this album are unique and perfectly executed, the complexity of this music is obviously mastered by Ken Jordan and Scott Kirkland. Not one track on this CD is the same, yet each and every track is an astounding original creation that creates its own attitude and setting with its adrenaline breaks and beats. This CD is a MUST HAVE for any Crystal Method enthusiast and for anyone who enjoys a variety of music. This album has been nothing less than Supernatural, its force and influence is a Momentous event written in stone on the timeline of this genre.

5 out of 5 stars Best Electronica CD Of The 20th Century.......2006-08-30

If you want the best electronic music has to offer from the 20th century then buy this cd. Every track is top notch and it is one of the rare albums out there you will listen to over and over and over and over again. I'm not a big fan of their new material but VEGAS is a work of pure genius. Very few people of any genre right a album of this caliber in their lifetimes & at it's very least it is the soundtrack to the late 90's.

5 out of 5 stars Best techno CD.......2006-07-12

forget buying Crystal Method's new stuff like "legion of boom" i own that cd, and it sucks really. i just bought vegas and this is GREAT!! great techno, great beats. buy it, youll love it.

Apocalypse Now is widely considered director Francis Ford Coppola's Waterloo, an ambitious personal vision that nearly wrecked his fabled career, health, and sanity. In fact, it was the director's equally Quixotic 1982 Vegas-themed musical One From the Heart that forever cast a pall over his Hollywood future, sounding a death knell for his once-promising American Zoetrope studios in the bargain. Hindsight being 20/20, it's now easy to see Heart's visual conceits as the glorious cinematic antecedent to Moulin Rouge, its smart, lounge-savvy score by musical odd couple Tom Waits and Crystal Gayle easily 15+ years ahead of the retro-hipster revival it preceded--and outclassed at every turn. Now brightened by a sparkling digital remastering, it remains the most accessibly mainstream--and ironically idiosyncratic--music of Waits' storied career. Constructed as a dialog between lovers in a fitful emotional spiral, Waits raspy growl is the perfect counterpoint to Gayle's own gutsy, surprisingly bluesy diva turns. Backed by the spare, deftly lugubrious production of Bones Howe and key contributions by jazz vets Greg Cohen on bass, saxist Teddy Edwards, and the key, mournfully lyrical trumpet of Jack Sheldon, Waits' score has long since taken its rightful place as a modern classic, a perfectly realized romantic daydream that never forgets the wistful, broken hearts stacking up beneath the Vegas neon. This edition features the previously unreleased Waits vocal outtake, "Candy Apple Red" as well as an early, discarded version of the opening montage "Once Upon A Town/Empty Pockets," rejects that only underscore the strength of Waits' musical hand. Enhanced CD also features a newly-edited video montage by Coppola's son, Gian-Carlo. --Jerry McCulley

Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars fabulous.......2007-05-25

Tom Waits is, of course, unique. But Crystal Gayle isn't bad either - her vocal talent just isn't celebrated enough. But it's certainly shown to perfection here where her clarity and range works beautifully with Wait's gruffness. They are perfect together, and Wait's original and poignant soundtrack comes to life.

4 out of 5 stars A wonderful collaboration.......2007-01-09

This album is most certainly a Tom Waits record...he wrote the tracks, and is the obvious creative force behind the music. However, Waits reigns it in some, allowing room for Crystal Gayle to sashay her way in and croon alongside him. The result in an album of love--a realistic album of a realistic love-story.

Gayle's vocals are a welcome addition; she can croon with the best of them, and knows how to perfectly pronounce Waits's nuanced lyrics. Waits himself takes his turn at the mike frequently (including a handful of beautiful duets), adding his emerging macabre presence here and there, creating an artistic album that is both commercial and beautiful. I won't go so far as to say that this is one of Waits's best, but it has to be right up there.

5 out of 5 stars Six Stars Would Be More Appropriate........2006-11-02

This has the word genius all over it...with sublime rich melodies that only Mr. Waits, and others before him like Harold Arlen and Hoagy Carchimael are capable of. The arrangements that go with these songs are some of the best you will ever hear, and the choice of Crystal Gale as Tom's foil is a stunner. I never bought an album of her's before, but what a voice and what an interpreter...no just another country pretty face here...a real pro. So, the combo of all these elements becomes larger than each of them in the most attractive, sublime soundtrack I own. This is smooth Waits over super lush scoring...a match made in heaven. The inclusion of the last cut (really a suite) on this edition has the great missing song of Tom's....Empty Pockets...which I saw him sing in a video of a London show around 1980. I almost fell over....a song that classic...and nobody ever heard it. This song finally released with this score is easily the best song of the year...but no one will ever nominate it. Everything on this album is classic...way beyond the drivel of pop material that surrounds us now. Makes me think of when I found the then rare soundtrack of Elevator To The Scaffold, with the Miles Davis score. Like finding a diamond in your pocket. As soon as the first track starts, it's so different than any other Miles, and so moody and evocative...you know you've been on the right track all along. I should mention...get the Elevator soundtrack that has the original reverb...some reissues have none...
See you back here after the Orphans 3 CD set from Tom comes out.

4 out of 5 stars One from the Heart **really 4.5 stars**.......2006-08-25

The music on this album is phenomenal; Tom Waits has created a jazz influenced lounge masterpiece musically, his lyrics are incredible, but personally Crystal Gayle's vocals don't sit well with me. I must say that I like them much better than I did when I first heard them, the problem is, that I bought this album for Tom Waits, and I personally don't think her voice compliments his as well as Bette Midler (from "Foreign Affairs"). Her singing is not bad by any means, I simply prefer Tom Waits by himself, and there are solo Tom songs on this album which make it well-worth the cheap cost of the album. Overall, something that should be viewed separately from Tom Waits' other albums, but that is not to say that it should be ignored, this is a great bunch of songs, I just personally can't get into Crystal Gayle. But I recommend it to any Tom Waits fan.

5 out of 5 stars Who cares about the movie?.......2006-08-08

This shockingly good album is one from Tom Waits' "authentic jazz" mode. It creates a heady mood all its own, which I can only imagine has little to do with the movie.
The band is swinging (in the Frank Sinatra sense) and the songwriting is top class (in the Cole Porter sense). "Old Boyfriends" and "Broken Bicycles" are two of the most brilliantly poignant combinations of words and music you'll ever hear.
Tom Waits' vocals are at their smoothest, and while Crystal Gayle does a good job, to my taste she does sometimes tend to "over-emote" a bit. A petty quibble, but I can't help greedily imagining if, say, Roberta Flack had done the female vocal parts...
Still, this one's pure class.
The remaster is excellent, and the extra tracks are good enough to be considered part of the album.

Initially, the sophomore album from California beat-shifters the Crystal Method sounds like the same psychedelic beats and psychotic samples that made their 1997 debut, Vegas, such a riot and established them as the only stateside dance act with real spunk. While Tweekend does apply similar grooves and siren sounds, repeated plays prove that the duo of Scott Kirkland and Ken Jordan have learned how to melt the mind in addition to rocking the house. With guest spots by Rage Against the Machine's Tom Morello and Stone Temple Pilots' Scott Weiland, Tweekend is both subversive and dance-friendly. In "Murder," Weiland sings over a woozy blend of crunching riffs, wah-wah guitars, Moog moos, and mysterious strings for a kind of twisted BT-like pop poetry. "PHD," "Wild, Sweet and Cool," and the organ-grinding "Roll It Up" are classic beats-and-bliss Crystal Method. But "Name of the Game" is straight-up rock and rage, while "Ten Miles Back" and "Blowout" are surreal drives into a nocturnal desert. Tweekend is so dense and delirious, it's hard to find your way out. But you may not want to return from this lost (T)weekend. --Ken Micallef

3 out of 5 stars good but not great.......2007-06-09

This is a good solid techno album. However, I didn't find it really all that special. "Name of the Game" is probably my least favorite track. Mostly because of that terrible Ryu and his crappy rapping. When I saw them live(they play an awesome live show) for the Tweekend tour, I was totally brought down when Ryu came out. Thank God it was for just that one song. Other than that this album is pretty good. Any Crystal Method fan should pick it up.

5 out of 5 stars Just Right.......2007-04-08

I feel like "Vegas" was a little to clean or "dancey" and "legion of boom" was a little too "rock". While both those albums are good (great compared to other electronic acts) I think Tweekend is the perfect blend of both. Incredible attention to detail. I still listen to this CD every time I hit the gym, and it always gets me crazy pumped. 6 years after this CD was released it still sounds ahead of its time. Chemical Brothers are overrated, Prodigy pretty much sucks, Fatboy Slim has peaked. The only other acts that I think are comparable are Propellerheads, BT, Deepsky, and that's pretty much it. I'm looking forward to the next album from The Meth.

5 out of 5 stars The Best Big Beats Available.......2005-09-01

I find this even better, badder and more memorable than their fantastic "Vegas" and "Legion of Boom." Very different to my ears from Chemical Brothers and Prodigy, to whom The Method bear a superficial resemblance. I love both, and have most of the records of each, but there's something more...mature about Crystal Method. And menacing. This is the nastiest, sleaziest, most ominous, in your face big beat music out there. The breaks are so sharp and heavy on songs like PHD you really have to watch yourself to avoid hurting your neck. Consider the names under which their music is published: "Harder Faster Music," "Drug Money Music" and my favorite "Foxy Dead Girl Music." That pretty much sums it up. Put on PHD or Name of the Game and imagine beating somebody down with a baseball bat. Put on Over the Line or Blow Out and get ready to drive off into the sunset at 120 mph to do something unimaginably dangerous. Even if you're not an El Supremo Bad A** in real life you can easily pretend you're one while this is playing on your stereo. By the way, for some reason this seems to me like "older guy that you don't want to mess with wearing sunglasses and driving a really fast car" music. I can't imagine liking it that much if I was either younger or female. I'm neither, however, and I love it.

5 out of 5 stars Highlight.......2005-08-21

In my own opinion, I think this album is the highlight of TCM's career. From the awesome cover-art, to the more important music created. There are no rubbish tracks on this album, just the one song you might like a bit less than the others.

This album contrasts between different genres regularly, from the deep dark techno storm of Blowout, to the rap elements in Name Of The Game and Ready For Action, and the Rock guitars in Murder. There is something for everyone in this album.

This is a must for anyone vaguely interested in Techno, and an Essential for evry Techno fan.

5 out of 5 stars Tweekend and LOB are no disappointments..........2005-06-16

Screw the "fans" of The Crystal Method's Vegas album who say that Tweekend and Legion of Boom are what caused the group to go downhill. They obviously just don't get the picture right. Now that I own Tweekend, I have an excuse to strike those so-called "Vegas fans." Tweekend is one heck of a big beat record. Listening to these songs made me feel relaxed with gladness and joy. Before owning this album, I have downloaded one of the album's songs, "Name Of The Game." This song is what got me into the Tweekend album. It has cool guitars, spooling electronic vibes, and not-half-bad rapping vocals.

When it comes to Big Beat, TCM can do it right. Songs like PHD, the aforementioned Name Of The Game, Murder, The Winner, and Ready for Action get my body working. The Winner is the song the most CM fans tend to look down on, as they think it is Tweekend's worst song. However, this is hardly a bad song to me.

I may be a Metalhead but I also listen to Electronic music every now and then. The Crystal Method is my personal favorite of the Electronica genre.

5 out of 5 stars Certainly A Turning Point In Styx's Career.......2007-04-17

With the addition of Tommy Shaw to the band, Styx would ultimately go on to great success, and evidence of that was shown on this album. Although it's not the best of styx, no Styx fan should be without this album. Although "This Old Man" is a bit forgettable, the other songs on here are must haves. T. Shaw's shivering "Crystal Ball" is one of Styx's most famous hits, and for a good reason. DeYoung's "Mademoiselle" is possibly one of Styx's most classic pop songs, and JY and Shaw's "Shooz" is one of the greatest Styx rockers of all time. It may be Styx in a small dose, but it may be some of the only Styx you'll need. However, as I said earlier, you should buy this album if you're a Styx fan already. Those who are new to the band might want to try Equinox or possibly Paradise Theatre first. And, as also mentioned, it's a tad short (only 35 minutes). But if you are a Styx fan, you MUST have this album!

5 out of 5 stars It's about time I finally got ahold of this CD.......2007-04-07

This CD is a must have for progressive rocker

5 out of 5 stars Styx Schick.......2006-12-27

Great set o songs from the 70's albumns before styx turned dyx. "Rock'n Roll Shooz", "Put me on", and "Jenifer" are undebatably(did i spell incorrectly, oh gee why no e-mail me and tell me in loud boistrous font-like ye have nutn' better to think of herbert) the best of the bunch...
Other trax like Crystal Ball had a nice mellow tune of atmopshere. Rush and styx were comparable as was Kansas in the quality and rythmic stait(gosh/golly! I didn't know this was a spelling bee.) foreward rock. Instruments, though were often subtle in these bands too, bass utilized for more than "volumn" And gitars in "Shooz" something to live and die for.-eh that would be Tommy Shaw and James Young but I don't need to be a friggen rock literate yuppie to enjoy.(Humble Pie or Paris Flagg Proud).

3 out of 5 stars Inconsistent.......2006-10-19

30 years after its release, this album is now only remembered for its exceptional title track. Upon its release, Styx fans who had loved the band's previous release, "Equinox", felt initially that the band was slowly selling out. The band had been playing with commercial sounds before, but the lyrics were becoming bubblegum on songs like "Put Me On" and "Mademoiselle". At the same time, the title track, the solid "Jennifer" and the closing track, "Ballerina", showed some rawer emotions from a band that had generally been known for its working-class style until now. "Crystal Ball" is certainly not a disaster for the band; it was simply a so-so step on their journey to arena rock superstardom.

5 out of 5 stars They Had A Lot Of Fun On This Album While Fine Tuning Their Sound.......2006-09-04

This is the first Tommy Shaw album and he truly makes a difference here. You can also tell that these guys had a great time making this album. As Crystal Ball would go gold.

Here is my review:

Put Me On (12/10) A nice moderate and fun rocker to start the album out with some great guitar work.

Mademoiselle (22/10) A Styx classic to this day. A beautiful upbeat love song with great vocal work by all the members.

Jennifer (14/10) Another great moderate rocker about a girl. Great vocals by Dennis on this song.

Crystal Ball (20/10) Another Styx Classic Tommy sings it does a great job. The keyboard solo by Dennis is spectacular and so perfect for this song.

Shooz (28/10) Another Styx classic and my favorite song off this album. The guitar work and solos by both Tommy and JY are fantastic the vocals are good. But I especially like John's drums on this song.

This Old Man (8/10) Probably their worst song on this album but that doesn't mean its bad. A slow song and good vocals by Dennis make me give this a 8 of 10.

Clair De Lune/Ballerina (10/10) I nice soft song by Dennis to finsh off the album with.

In a bordering-on-brilliant idea, the overseers of The Spawn soundtrack proposed an idea to a host of bands that went something like this: "you metal kids go play nice with the electronic geeks and maybe you'll make beautiful music together." Well, guess what? It happened. From the sexy, screamy sounds of the opening cut "Can't You Trip Like I Do" (courtesy of Filter and The Crystal Method) to the funkified "One Man Army" (Rage Against The Machine's Tom Morello mixing it up with The Prodigy), the disc is as hot as the Spawn's home and twice as heavy as the monster himself. If you like the CD, rent the video; the soundtrack is front and center in the film, kind of like MTV with a plot. --Denise Sheppard

3 out of 5 stars a fusion of synth and metal.......2007-06-12

This is a good soundtrack. "Trip like I Do" was the main reason I got it. I found out I got a lot more too. Marilyn Manson with Sneaker Pimps, Orbital and Kirk Hammet, Butthole Surfers and Moby, Metallica and DJ Spooky. All these tracks are good. It starts to wind down and lose steam with the last couple of tracks but this is a good investment. If you enjoy the musical fusion of different styles than check this out, also check out the Judgement Night soundtrack

2 out of 5 stars Great idea...so so execution.......2007-04-15

I don't get all the rave reviews here. I've owned this CD since it came out in 1997 and its been probably more than 5 years since I had a desire to listen to it. Now listening to it trying to figure out what I want to put on my I-pod and I really can't find anything other than the 1st 2 tracks, which are great. The Filter/Crystal Method track is a classic. But beyond that I just find the songs somewhere between mildly interesting and boring. I am a fan of many of the rock & electronic artists here, but this experiment just didn't pan out in my opinion. It's been 10 years and I haven't seen any other collections like this so I must not be in the minority. Nice try, but there is not much more here beyond the concept.

5 out of 5 stars A great album, a massive soundtrack.......2006-07-11

I was a big fan of Spawn before I got to be a big fan of music. When I found the soundtrack in a garage sale, I jumped on it and had listen it almost a thousand times!! ...When I realized I had a special one: instead of "For whom the bells tolls" of Metalica on track 6, I have "This is not a dream" from Apollo 440 and Morphine, and I must admit it's my personal favorite track on the album!! I'm glad I didn't bought the American version.

5 out of 5 stars The Lost Art of Great Soundtracks!! .......2006-03-29

Spawn is by far, along with the original Batman starring Michael Keaton, the best comic book remake movie ever. Sadly underplayed, especially to the recent flood of sub-par remakes. Well, not only was the magic and mayhem captured forever on film, the soundtrack played a huge roll in the movie as well, thus making it a vital part of the movie that sadly, now, has seemed to become a forgotten craft: That is of course, the lost art of producing a Great movie soundtrack. Showcasing some of the best and most cutting edge artists of that era, which may have not been very long ago, but nevertheless was a significant time. A time of change within the rock community. A precursor to what would be the short life of Nu-Metal and the rebirth of straight up Rock and Roll, which seemed to split fans right down the middle, and all different ways at that. A cool time and a cool change that was long overdue in the music world. although this is one soundtrack that is definitely dated, it is still a much appreciated and a more often than not listened to addition to my collection. Anyone who loves the movie needs this soundtrack, not to mention anyone who just loves music of the heavier sort, this is an awesome soundtrack.

4 out of 5 stars Classic fusion of genra's.......2006-03-03

This soundtrack knows what it needs to be and works really hard at succeeding...and for the most part it really does. From the explosive first track, Filter and Crystal Method set the bar very high, and for the most part the following tracks, while never fulling living up to "Trip like I Do" still fit the mold and deserve to be listed on the same track listing. "Long Hard Road out of Hell" is a great song, dispite the controversy of Sneaker Pimps regreting having to woek with Manson, they still delivered a brilliant song, and the second best on the album. "Satan" by Orbital and Kirk Hammet as well as "Tiny Rubberband" by the Butthole Surfers and Moby really stand out as quality tracks. The redone "FOr Whom the Bell Tolls" is appropriate subject matter, but all in all I was not overly impressed with the track. "Torn Apart" is brilliant (gotta love Stabbing Westward) and Prodigy's "One man Army" is freaking killer. Closing track by Soul Coughing & Roni Size is decent but I would have closed with Slayer's "No remorse" instead. Here is my HUGE complaint...KoRn's "Kick the P.A." is one of the dumbest songs ever, and with the talent that KoRn has shown they possess this was a waste of a track...They could have done SOOOOOO much better. Incubus and Silverchair are fine and Henry Rollins shows he still has it (never lost it)...so all in all Spawn delivers...they just should have cut KoRn before the CD was released!

    4 out of 5 stars Tommy says "Hear Me".......2007-01-08

    I was beginning to worry that I was getting to harsh in my reviews because I was saying the same things over and over, but Tommy broke me out of that. This is a great CD, musical lover or not. The music is fantastic. As in all operas (in any genre) themes repeat and Tommy has some repetitions, but not to many, and not annoyingly. The story is told out great through this CD. Although reading the synopsis helps visualize more, the lyrics and music really let the listener grip it all. A word on the lyrics, They aren't the greatest words ever written, but they're pretty good. And the singers on this CD give it so much life its unbelievable. I strongly suggest this CD to new musical fans, as well as collectors, it will please most audiences. Favorite Song: "I'm Free/Pinball Wizard (Reprise)"

    1 out of 5 stars Go back to the original .......2006-10-15

    Save your money and get the original WHO version of Townshend's masterpiece. I am a BIG fan of Pete Townshend but this CD is almost laughable: a pit band that tries to sound rock "heavy"; the overly slick production; every spect of the story is literally explained with lots of very unclever "hit the audience over the head" messages. Did the director really think us rock/theatre fans would like this? There is no subtext and everything is nauseatingly "on-the-nose" (e.g. the re-written "let's all get along" family ending almost makes me giggle, if it's not causing my stomache to turn.)

    5 out of 5 stars Tommy original cast recording.......2006-07-18

    I LOVE this album!! I haven't listened to it in ages but upon listening to it again it brings the show back into my head. I can picture what takes place during each scene by listening to the music again. I saw the show when it toured through about 12 years ago. I LOVED the show and must've seen it close to 20x before it left the L.A. area. This show just rocks and was such a fun show to see too!! If you saw this show either on Broadway or touring this is a must have in your collection. I highly recommend it if you're a Who fan too!

    1 out of 5 stars A big disappointment.......2006-03-04

    I don't know what the hoopla was all about; however, I didn't get to see the Broadway show. I thought they might have done something exciting with the piece, but it is very generic and old hat.

    I purchased this album just after it's initial release in 92. I recently repurchased it, and I have to say it is just as good now as it was then. The music is awesome. there's a twisted story behind that rock opera, but it's fun. It ranks as one of my all time favorite albums. Highly reccomend
