Customer Reviews of Tomb Raider

1. Elevation, U2: A good groovy rock tune made slightly better with a remix. U2, as usual, does not disappoint (complete with good video). Getting some radio airplay.

2. Deep, Nine Inch Nails: An average song; good beat. Lacks originality; could have easily been on The Fragile album. Getting limited radio time.

3. Galaxy Bounce, Chemical Brothers: A decent track; more jazzy than their usual songs. Hope their new album sounds like this. One of the soundtrack's better songs.

4. Get Ur Freak On, Missy Elliott: I don't know if this remix gives the song anything, but a good song can't be messed up, even with Nelly Furtado. Wierd video to boot. Original is getting a lot of radio play.

5. Speedballin', Outkast: An average song. Sounds remarkably like BOB from their most recent album.

6. Ain't Never Learned, Moby: A bad song. Sounds like Moby was trying to be Fatboy Slim and gave up halfway through production. I love Moby to death, but this song is not his best effort.

7. The Revolution, BT: Gets repetitive after hearing more than once. Lyrics could have made for a great song - and the beat falls short!

8. Terra Firma, Delerium: The best song on the album. Finds a balance between ambient, world, and big beat that must be listened to. Sounds like Enigma with more substance.

9. Where's Your Head At, Basement Jaxx: If this song is representative of their upcoming summer release, they might be in trouble. The beat is average, but the catchline and lyrics are grating at best.

10. Illuminati, Fatboy Slim: I may have to hunt down Norman Cook and slap him silly for this one. He must be really busy, or lazy, because he thieved his own song. This track is nothing but a shorter version of Michael Jackson from his first album. Why Bootsy Collins has lent some new lyrics to the song I can't comprehend. A decent track, but a severe disappointment if you were expecting new music from Fatboy (like me).

11. Absurd, Fluke: Absurd, the original version, is a great track. But two things make this version bad: a watered down remix and the fact that Absurd has been on about ten soundtracks now!

12. Song of Life, Leftfield: A decent, flowing song; one of the better tracks on the album. Ranges from slow to fast with little effort.

13. Edge Hill, Groove Armada: The sound that defines Groove Armada: background, drippy ambient with a beat. A pretty good song.

14. Satellite, Bosco: A great beat and rhythm with a horribly annoying vocoder lyric. You will either love it or hate it.

15. Devil's Nightmare, Oxide & Neutrino: A classic example of a song that can't make up its mind. Am I techno? Am I rap? Am I Gregorian chants?!? As the finisher, it sums up the mixed bag nature of the soundtrack very well.

To summarize: Galaxy Bounce, Terra Firma, and Song of Life represent their makers well. Where's Your Head At, Illuminati, and Devil's Nightmare are transgressions against good music everywhere. The rest of the songs are somewhere in the middle. Listener, you have been warned...

Good
Overall, the soundtrack to Tombraider is awesome, but Satellite by Bosco and Devil's Nightmare by Oxide and Neutrino get boring after a while. My favorite track is Elevation(Tomb Raider mix) by U2. Other great sounding songs are Deep by Nine Inch Nails, Get Your Freak On by Missy Elliot featuring Nelly Furtado, Ain't Never Learned by Moby, and The Revolution by BT. It's a very cool cd with uptempo beats. I would recommend this cd because it's filled with powerful energy.

I like it
This is a good soundtrack. Its not as "cool" as say the matrix soundtrack, but there are some really good tracks on it, and I cant think of one that annoys me. And I love the songs without words in them, so I disagree with the amazon review. Soundtracks often have songs with no words, because those are easy songs to put in a movie. Its definitly worth the price I paid.
