Music reviews of The X-Files: The Album - Fight The Future
Music Review: Now I can watch the show AND listen to it.
Rating: 5 Stars
I'm a huge fan of The X-Files and have been since it started, so obviously I'm going to want to give the soundtracks a try. I loved 'Songs in The Key of X' so I decided it would be worth my while to give this CD a try. One listen to it - and I was in love with it. It's great. The first song on there: The X-Files theme is a great way to kick start things, an atmospheric remix of the theme tune that's great to dance to. Then came Flower Man by Tonic - a group I'd never heard of it. I love this song, I was singing along straight away even though I'd never heard it before. Only problem - this track didn't really reflect the mood of X-Files, but good nevertheless. Next track is One by Filter. This is great, I very good track by the band that gets things rolling nicely. Then comes Walking After You by Foo Fighters. This is my favourite track on the album. From the very first line it's great. It captures Mulder and Scully's relationship perfectly, it's the perfect song for one of those times when they hug. Next track is Beacon Light by Ween. This is great, it really reflects the mood and feel of X-Files. I've never heard this band before but I'm tempted to check out more stuff. Next track is Invisible Sun by Sting/Aswad. At first I didn't like this, but now I love it. It's different but great. I can't really see it fitting in with The X-Files but it meld perfectly with the other songs on the album. Next track is Deuce by The Cardigans who are one of my favourite bands. This song is typical Cardigans, and it's laid back atmospheric style suits X-Files perfectly. Great track. Next track is One More Murder by Better Than Ezra another band I've never heard of. This is great is you listen to the lyrics you can imagine them being sung by Mulder. It totally weighs up all of the people that have been murdered in X-Files to cover up the government conspiracies. Next song is More Than This by The Cure. I love this it's laid back and melodic, it's great. Next song is Hunter by Bjork. This isn't one of the best tracks but it is good. It fits in with the other songs although I can't really imagine Mulder and Scully singing along to this. The next track is Crystal Ship by X. I love this it's quite upbeat and a bit more lively that the previous two tracks which is good. It sort of beings the album back to life after it's being plodding along quietly for a few tracks (which isn't a bad thing). The next track is Black by Sarah MacLachlan. I love this it took me a few listens to appreciated it fully. She has an amazing voice and this track reflects that. It suits X-Files especially the movie. This is quite different from her usual music so it's a nice change. Last track is another remix of The X-Files theme, which is a good way to beings things to an end. The talking bit by Chris Carter is great. It sort of summarizes where Mulder and Scully's quest towards the truth is up to, so it's good if you're slightly lost with the myth arc. It's just nice as well to see that Chris Carter has contributed to the album. I've given this five stars because I'm in love with this album. It's so nice to be able to watch the TV show and listen to it. The only critisms would be:1. Not all of the tracks reflect the mood of X-Files, but the fact they are great tracks make up for it.
2. I think that one of the remixes of the theme tune should be the original. I don't think that two was really necessary (only the english version has two remixes of the soundtrack).
X-Files fans should definitely buy this - but only if you actually like some of the artists on the CD. Take a look and if there are three or more artists that you like then get it. If you're into alternative/rock music and are a fan of the show then buy it. Enjoy it because it is one cool album!
Description of The X-Files: The Album - Fight The Future
All products are BRAND NEW and factory sealed. Fast shipping and 100% Satisfaction Guaranteed.According to the liner notes, 20 million people gather 'round the tube to watch The X-Files each week, so it's not a stretch to believe that the movie will be huge beyond belief. With that kind of hype, the producers were under a lot of pressure to put together an incredible soundtrack to back it up. At first glance, the disc looks aptly huge, featuring artists like Foo Fighters, The Cure, Bjork, and Sting. How does it stand up? Surprisingly, the smaller groups are the ones providing the best music within. Filter's reworking of Three Dog Night's "One" kicks the disc into high gear but the excitement plummets from there. The Foo Fighter's new track, "Walking After You," is a softly-sung mediocre pop song; Sting should be ashamed to be regurgitating yet another number ("Invisible Sun" with World Beat artist Aswad). It's also disappointing to see the inclusion of already-released cuts, like Bjork's "Hunter" and a forcibly altered version of Sarah Mclachlan's "Black." --Denise Sheppard
