Music reviews of M:i-2 : Music From And Inspired By (2000 Film)
Music Review: Good to Buy Used
Rating: 3 Stars
Aside from when you look at the cover, I doubt this CD will particularly remind you of the movie. It's a bunch of songs "from and inspired by" the movie, which is to say outtakes and B-sides that may or may not have put in much of an appearance during the film itself. In this case, the soundtrack wanders all over the place musically, so it's pretty hard to love or hate.
No point in giving a song-by-song review -- your tastes may differ from mine -- so I'll focus on the tracks by the most famous bands, telling you how they compare to other work by the artist/group so you can figure out if it's similar to stuff you like:
1) Limp Bizkit "Take a Look Around": The real surprise on the CD. Lots of people who dislike Limp Bizkit seem to like this song. It gives a prominent place to Lalo Schifrin's old "Mission Impossible" theme, rising into and out of the rap portion in a subtle way, with the rapping itself low in the mix almost like another instrument. Complex for a Bizkit number.
2) Metallica "I Disappear": A fairly strong track from the band for this era. It sits nicely between their metal and alternate rock sounds, so any Metallica fan is likely to hear some of what makes them love the band. Better than the average track on their albums since the black one.
3) Rob Zombie, "Scum of the Earth": His soundtrack work can be throwaway stuff. While this one isn't terribly complicated, it's got a great stomping energy that his filler music doesn't always have.
4) Butthole Surfers, "They Came In": Not one of the strongest songs from the Surfers. The sort of laid back, twangy groove they sometimes settle into. A nice rarity for Surfers fans, though.
6) Foo Fighters with Brian May, "Have a Cigar": I can't say what Foo Fighters fans will think of this one, but if you like Queen then you shouldn't be disappointed by Brian May's ripping guitar solo at the end of this Pink Floyd cover.
7) Chris Cornell, "Mission 2000": Rocks harder than a lot of Cornell's solo tracks, but with neither the funkiness of Audioslave's best numbers nor the fire of Soundgarden's. It has that great voice, but not much else.
8) Godsmack, "Going Down": The typical nu-metal crunch that these guys deliver up. If you like their stuff, you're bound to like this song. If you don't like anything by them except "Voodoo," it's not "Voodoo."
15) Tori Amos, "Carnival": This is the really slow, moody (if not drippy) Tori Amos, not the spicy and playful Tori Amos (of, say, the "Escape from L.A." soundtrack).
I didn't know, or only vaguely knew of, the other bands. I had hoped for one or two pleasant surprises, but didn't get them. Buckcherry came the closest.
Description of M:i-2 : Music From And Inspired By (2000 Film)
This is quite an impressive list of today's modern rock heroes. Limp Bizkit incorporate a sci-fi space groove into their patented rap-metal and deliver the Mission: Impossible 2 theme, "Take a Look Around." Former Soundgarden singer Chris Cornell contributes the Led Zeppelin-influenced "Mission 2000." Pink Floyd's 1975 anti-record industry classic "Have a Cigar" is replicated and then augmented with hard-rock screams and heavy-metal guitars by the Foo Fighters and former Queen guitarist Brian May. Tori Amos's atmospheric "Carnival" nicely complements the straightforward hard rock of Buckcherry. Powderfinger's "Not My Kinda Scene" captures a lazy desert vibe, while Biff Butler navigates the generic industrial-metal wasteland with his band, Apartment 26. For over-the-top mayhem, Rob Zombie's got the market cornered with the sonically impressive "Scum of the Earth." And there's even the rarely-heard-from-these-days Butthole Surfers coming back with the restrained (for them) "They Came In." --Rob O'ConnorGeneral CDs
