THE CROW: SALVATION
SONG REVIEWED: Static X (Feat. Burton C. Bell) - "Burning Inside"
I DON'T KNOW WHY I'M REVIEWING A SOUNDTRACK. SOUNDTRACKS SUCK... WELL, FOR THE MOST PART, THEY SUCK. SOUNDTRACKS ARE WHERE BANDS SEND THE SONGS THEY DON'T REALLY FEEL ARE GOOD ENOUGH TO WIPE THEIR ASSES WITH... YOU KNOW, THE ONES THAT WERE TOO SHITTY TO BE LABELED "B-SIDES"?... THIS SOUNDTRACK TO THE FILM WHICH WAS SUPPOSED TO MARK ROB ZOMBIE'S DIRECTORIAL DEBUT (ACTUALLY, THIS BEARS LITTLE RESEMBLANCE TO ZOMBIE'S FILM, BUT HE WAS SUPPOSED TO HELP THE THIRD CROW FILM)... ANYWAY, I WAS ALL SET TO RIP THIS RELEASE A NEW ASSHOLE, WHEN I STUMBLED UP ON TRACK 14: STATIC X AND BURTON C. BELL (OF FEAR FACTORY) ARE A LETHAL COMBINATION. I CRANKED UP THE SPEAKERS, TOOK A FEW STEPS BACK, KICKED THE SHIT OUT OF THE CAT FOR A FEW MINUTES, SAT BACK DOWN, AND STARTED TYPING....
MACHINE GUN DRUMS, THICK, DISTORTED GUITARS, AND A VOCAL TRACK THAT SOUNDS LIKE A HUNDRED ANGRY NAZIS READY TO KICK YOUR DOOR DOWN AND SEND YOU OFF TO THE AUSCHWITZ COME TOGETHER TO MAKE "BURNING INSIDE" THE MOST FURIOUS TRACK, AND ONE SAVING GRACE OF THIS SHIT-FEST SOUNDTRACK (THINK I'M BEING TOO HARSH?... TAKE A LISTEN TO THE KID ROCK GEM "WARM WINTER", THE ATROCIOUS BOB DYLAN COVER THAT HOLE DOES, "IT'S ALL OVER NOW", AND THE INFIDELS' "BAD BROTHER" (FEATURING JULIETTE LEWIS, NO LESS)... OK, BACK TO THE REVIEW... WAYNE STATIC SINGS LIKE HE'S GOT CHUNKS OF HIS WINDPIPE BEING TORN OUT WHILE HE'S CROONING, AND BURTON C. BELL'S VOICE IS GETTING MORE JAGGED WITH TIME... THE GUITARS SERVE AS EAR CANDY PRIMARILY... THERE'S A LOT OF ELECTRONIC SAMPLES AND THE DRUMS REALLY DRIVE THE TUNE TO A JAW-KICKING TEMPO... I WOULD HATE TO BE CAUGHT IN A MOSH PIT WHERE THIS TUNE WAS BEING PLAYED.
