 The suitable soundtrack March 8, 2005
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
The Crow is my favorite movie of all time, hands down. The moving love/death/life/revenge plot coupled with Brandon Lee's exceptional performance and very talented supporting cast is more than enough than for The Crow to stand the test of time. However, probably the strongest point of the movie lies in its truly awesome soundtrack that captures the mood of the movie perfectly.
As great as the movie is, the soundtrack almost matches its caliber just by itself. A great compilation of independent, some unreleased, alt-rock tracks that add another dimension to the movie. Tracks like "Burn" from The Cure, "Big Empty" from the Stone Temple Pilots, "Color Me Once" from the Violent Femmes, the sentimental "It Can't Rain All the Time" from Jane Siberry, and my favorite, "Slip Slide Melting" performed by For Love Not Lisa.
Truly, a great movie will have a great soundtrack, and The Crow's amazing collection of songs make it one of the best of all time.
Just a great soundtrack November 13, 2006

I hate recent soundtrack albums. It's riddled with "what's hot" songs and genre jumping bands that rarely compliment the movie. That's why I appreciate this album more for it's ability to capture the mood of the film than the songs themselves. But don't get me wrong, there are some amazing songs on this soundtrack. The Cure's "Burn' (with crow cawing samples), a great NIN cover of Joy Division's "Dead Souls",and the fast paced industial tune "After The Flesh" from My Life With The Thrill Kill Cult, are all featured in the film and create an atmospheric backround for the movie's dark scenes. Even if you're not a big fan of the movie itself, the soundtrack gives listeners a great collection of some of the great songs from bands that were at their prime in the '90s.

words cannot describe how this movie and music has touched my life. when i first heard about lees death i was shocked but coming to the realization that i might not see him in any more films came to this one. the soundtrack is purified to the brink of being probably the greatest soundtrack ever its has to intertwine with the movie and this does. raw voltage of energy and hard metal is the reason why this is a success. the cure , henry rollins rage and stp have made this album feel like your in the movie a great array of music combining with melody at the end.
everyone should own this album a great tribute to brandon lee and the movie thats spawn it a cult classic.
An excellent soundtrack December 4, 1998

The Cure's opening track "Burn" is perhaps one of their best songs (and very appopiate for the Crow...and well placed in the film). "Golgotha Tenement Blues," "Big Empty," "Dead Souls," and "After the Flesh" are also well placed in the film, and are great songs that carry both the action and emotion of the film perfectly. Medicine's "Time Baby III" is a cool song too, but the gem is the end piece "It Can't Rain All the Time." Jane Siberry sings it beautifully, and is is just the sweetest song in the world (actually made me cry). Rage Against the Machine is not all that bad here, though I felt both it and Rollin's Band were inappropriate (I think Rollin's got confued between the leather-clad skull-heade spirit of vengeance and the crow). Pantera's song works in the movie, but on the soundtrack...it's just stupid. Jesus & Mary Chain's "Snakedriver" is a good reminder of the eighties, as is Violent Femmes' "Color Me Once" (after all that's when the Crow supposedly takes place), and "Slip Slide Melting" is an okay addition. Overall, this is one of the best soundtracks ever produced for one of the best movies ever made.
The Greatest Soundtrack Ever!! October 27, 1999

The Crow was the album that really turned me on to alternative music. It's a brilliant, and amazingly eclectic bit of art.From Helmet to Pantera to the amazingly intense " Dead Souls" by Nine Inch Nails ( Originally by Joy Division--the Group who inspired The Comic book series "The Crow"), it's got stuff for even the most die-hard headbanger.And then, there are the other standout cuts--the very ethereal, very lovely "It Can't Rain All the Time" by Jane Siberry, Medicine's " Time Baby III", and , of course, Jesus And Mary Chain's "SnakeDriver". This easily deserves the accolade of the best soundtrack ever, one that boasts not just a great set of songs, but also reminds you of the movie with each chord. Buy, Buy, Buy!!!!!
