Man, am I the only one, or is anybody else hyped about this film by the soundtrack alone?

It seems like they're going to much greater lengths to make the soundtrack fit the film... In fact, I believe all we've heard so far (four songs?) are all original tracks written for the film.

First of all, you have Drowning Pool and Rob Zombie providing the quasi-title track, Man Without Fear. This is your obligatory high-energy track, and it delivers... I hate the circumstances under which the collaboration was formed (the death of Drowning Pool's frontman), but Rob's vocals with DP's music is truly a great pairing. The song itself throws in all the cliche's about justice, blindness, etc. that we wanna hear. My money is that this'll be the first song that plays on the end credits.

Then there's Evanescence. Although the official sites only list Bring Me To Life, it seems like they'll be providing an additional song: My Immortal Both of these songs are great; more importantly, they're perfect for describing the mood and emotion between Matt/Daredevil and Elektra. I must admit, the latter of the two songs almost gets me teary-eyed, because well... It (1) almost guarantees in my mind that we'll see one of the most tragic scenes in comic book history translated to film, and (2) it does the scene perfect justics. Just listen to the lyrics. "And if you have to leave, I wish that you would just leave / Cause your presence still lingers here, and it won't leave me alone." Man, if this is what I think it is, this is going to be such an amazing movie.

What I think also speaks to me is the variety they're developing in this soundtrack. We're not just getting an original Nickelback song and stuff like The Strokes and The Hives thrown in as we did with Spidey... We're getting a rollercoaster. We're getting the mournful tracks and the fist-pumping rock. It's so awesome that they were unafraid to go in such directions, and I hope it is representative of what they're doing for the film. If it is, then it means they're going to push the limits. They're going to go places Raimi might've thought was too risky to go. That would be amazing.

Oops... That was my post. I didn't realize my brother's username had been saved in my browser. But, I agree with him, yeah.

norrinraad · 12-12-2002, 04:51 PM

You and Shock are brothers!? Geez, you would think by now I would know stuff like that...

Darth_zaiyen · 12-12-2002, 07:45 PM

Yeah, and I'm their brother too. We're all a big happy Stricklin family.

Just kidding actually.

But anywho, let me just say that I REALLY love the 2 songs by Evanscence. After hearing "Bring Me to Life", I downloaded more stuff by them, and then when I heard they had 2 songs on the DD soundtrack, I almost fainted.

just so everyone knows: I've adopted Thom and Phil as my own sons.

norrinraad · 12-12-2002, 08:33 PM

Actually, I could care less who's related to whom. What I want to know is who's sleeping with whom?

Essex · 12-12-2002, 09:38 PM

Well, you see, me and Laracroft...

ah hell, I'll just show you the pictures..!!

YOU and Lara? Then who was I sleeping with?

Essex · 12-12-2002, 10:43 PM

Robbo.

The fact that he was shaven --everywhere!!-- should have tipped you off....
