Album Description

"Underworld" and its accompanying soundtrack albums are perhaps the most thoughtful, valued and respected genre film soundtracks in the proud tradition of "The Matrix" and "The Crow."
As "Underworld: Evolution" continues the saga of the story, so does the new Soundtrack Album continue the tone set musically. On this new album is the exclusive debut solo recording from Chester Bennington, and a new exclusive recording by Puscifer. Chester Bennington is best known as the lead singer of iconic rock band Linkin Park. Likewise Pusicfer who contributed to the first "Underworld" album, is a new outlet for the highly respected, and commercially successful music genius Maynard James Keenan. Maynard is best known as the frontman of both Tool and A Perfect Circle. Also a contributing member of Puscifer is Danny Lohner, the famed former Nine Inch Nails guitarist who is also a sought out songwriter, producer and remixer.
Every song on the album is exclusive to this set at the time of release. In addition to those above are exclusive contributions from such varied and respected artists as My Chemical Romance, Slipknot, Meat Beat Manifesto, Cradle Of Filth as well as some the most exciting new emerging and critically acclaimed bands such as Atreyu, Hawthorn Heights, Senses Fail, Alkaline Trio, Aiden, Lacuna Coil, Trivium and more.
Many of these tracks proudly feature exclusive remixes by some of the most respected and sought after talents such as Danny Lohner, Chris Vrenna, cEvin Key and The Legion Of Doom. Both Danny Lohner and Chris Vrenna bring unique musical experience and sensibilities as former members of seminal rock band Nine Inch Nails. cEvin Key is the co-founder of Skinny Puppy and an established artist in his own right, remixing various artists of stature and releasing many solo albums under different titles. Jack Dangers new exclusive Meat Beat Manifesto song features the artists first use of vocal performance in over six years, which is a rare treat indeed for fans

Customer Reviews:

Underworld Evolution.......2007-06-23

This was something of a mediocre soundtrack, I thought. The only standout tracks for me were "The Undertaker" by Puscifer and Her Portrait In Black" by Atreyu, other than that, there is nothing special here. Overall, there is nothing memorable besides the two songs mentioned above, none of the other songs or remixes did anything for me, unless you really have to have any of the songs on here, I would recommend saving your money.

Fantastic!!!!Almost Perfect..........2006-11-03

This cd was great!I really enjoyed it.Most of the songs were perfect...and if not perfect they were very close.My favorite would have to be Undertaker(Renholder Remix) by Pusifer.
PS-Does anyone know which song played in the movie trailers?I really liked that one too.

This album was probably better than the movie...ha.......2006-09-03

When I first bought and listened to this album, I thought "hmmm, lots of 'emo-labeled' bands." That didn't stop me from enjoying this soundtrack though. I liked the first two songs on this soundtrack quite a bit at first, but they got pretty old.

However, I loved Hawthorne Heights's remixed "Where Can I Stab Myself In the Ears" (my friend loved it, too), Aiden's "Last Sunrise" (which had a lot of references to Anne Rice's Interview With The Vampire), Lacuna Coil's "Our Truth" (have since became a fan of theirs), Atreyu's "Her Portrait is Black," and Cradle of Filth's "HW2"/"Halloween."

Oh, I also liked Trivium's "Washing Away Me In The Tides," Senses Fail's "Bite To Break Skin," and Slipknot's "Vermillion pt 2."

So, pretty much the producers took good songs and made them even better. I think I just named 8 of the 16 songs as being favorites, not to mention the other songs weren't bad. What does that say to you?

So, I guess that 4 is actually more like a 4.5.

OK,nothing more.......2006-08-09

This is an acceptable rock soundtrack.The songs are unmemorable,
but they suit the film.OK if you like this sort of thing.

@ Shawn.......2006-04-04

The track which was used in the romantik scenes, like the sexscene, is "Eternity And A Day" by Paul Haslinger.

Customer Reviews:

Oh no they didn't..........2007-01-12

Flyleaf covering one of the greatest most emotional songs by Trent Reznor?!

Wow.

Not only did they completely ruin the song (Something I Can Never Have) by adding guitars and distortion to it (thus making it heavy), but they've also performed it with little to no feeling or emotion.

Furthermore, they also censored, and shortened it.

To me, this is a mockery to Trent Reznor, Nine Inch Nails, and all that Trent Reznor and Nine Inch Nails stands for. Even fans would be offended by this cover, as it completely mocks the original, and pales in comparison.

Hell, even Linkin Park did a better job at covering NIN (when they performed "Wish" live.) Atleast they put fourth raw emotion into it. Furthermore, didn't mess with how the song was meant to sound.

If you're going to perform and cover a track by an artist who's entire library of songs defines the word "tortured" and or "pain", then atleast try to sound a bit "hurt" (no pun intended), when performing the song.

Don't just sing it, and expect it to sound good.

Furthermore, the track is heavy. The original was subtle, soft, and emotional. This mess of a cover is heavy during it's chorus.

Don't be fooled by the first (and well done) one minute, and four seconds of the song. Because once it hits 1:05, it gets heavy, and thus, ruins the entire cover.

If Flyleaf were to redo this cover, and NOT include the heavy guitars during the chorus, it'd probably be a superb cover.

But the track presented here on this disc, is an absolutely mockery of the original Trent Reznor masterpiece.

I honestly wouldn't suggest anyone purchase this, for the cover. Because it's def. not worth it. Even if you're an avid fan of Nine Inch Nails. Chances are you'll just end up feeling offended by this cover. As it honestly does not do the original justice.

However, I will say that standalone (comparisons set aside) it's decent at best. Alot better than alot of the other NIN covers i've heard. It's not the worst, but by far, it's not the best either.

If you're looking for a near-perfect NIN cover, look into hearing Bile's version of "Happiness In Slavery". That's how a cover should be done.

scores.......2006-11-06

i enjoy listening to scores moreso than other classical music because if i liked the movie enough to buy the score, then the score is going to remind me of the movie. specific tracks remind me of plot twists and this particular score is fantastic. every song on it is great. if you don't have this score and you even close to liked the movie, you need this cd.

A creepy gem.......2006-08-09

Much better than the accompanying song album,this is one of the
better horror film scores of recent years.Marco Beltrami's music
fits the film to perfection and greatly contributes to it.A very
good album.

What a load of horse------.......2006-06-25

Here's my story:
I watch Underworld Evolution. I like Underworld Evolution. I love the music, particularly one track that they play a couple times during the movie, I just couldn't get it out of my head.

So, they make movie score soundtracks. Why not buy the Evolution soundtrack, and listen to the lovable music over and over again? So, I buy it, and pop in in.

Track 1 - fast forward. 2 - fast forward. Ditto and ditto and dido until the end of the cd.

I sit, somewhat bitter, cold, and confused - never did I hear anything that resembled what stuck with me from the Underworld Evolution movie. But it is the score, so it has to have all the composed music, right? WRONG.

This is a _(insert your own curse word here)_____ rip off; I wasted thirteen bucks to buy a dud, a peice of plastic with Marco Belatrami's name on it but no memorable music. Later, through reviews and samples on this site, I learn that THE GOOD MUSIC is on the FIRST MOVIE SOUNDTRACK; Marco wrote nothing amazing; some other guy did.

But why is this? I watched Evolution again; the song I remember vividly is in the love scene and at the end. But why is it located on the FIRST movie cd? There ain't no love scene in there that would've needed the music or anything, and plus, if they play it in Evolution, it should be on the EVOLUTION SOUNDTRACK.

I'm furious. Thirteen bucks, shot. And just so you know, all the filler on Evolution isn't that good so it was a total waste.

By the way, the song I just loved was called Eternity and a Day (or something like that). It's the last song on the original Underworld score soundtrack. Beautiful stuff. Just some crappy rip off deal that they didn't put it on the soundtrack to the movie I remembered it in.

A triumph.......2006-04-13

Composer Marco Beltrami (Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines; Hellboy; I, Robot) picks up where Paul Haslinger (the composer from the original Underworld movie) left off, and lets the audience have it. With his penchant for melodic themes amidst complex action cues, Beltrami soars to new heights and plummets to new depths. Track 12 "Truckin'" is the cue to sample, with its orchestral assault and fantastic seven-beat charge. The album adds two original songs at the end, including a cover of Nine Inch Nails' "Something I Could Never Have."

once again...this is music composed for the film...not songs.......2005-06-14

Get a clue kids...don't give the cd a one star review because your favorite pop songs are not here. Review based on the quality of the compositions written for the film..."Morons, I've got morons on my team"

Not the Soundtrack, It's the Score.......2003-12-17

All though this music is good, It's not a soundtrack.
If you are looking for all the cool music that was in this fun film...keep on looking. It'll be hard to find.
Read the songs BEFORE you fork over your dollars. You might be buying something you don't want and be very disappointed.

Deliciously over-the-top fun music.......2003-04-25

Is it just me or does it seem like Hans Zimmer has some connection to just about every movie composer working today? John Powell certainly falls under that catagory, having worked directly with Mr. Zimmer on a number of projects. The score to Evolution is heavily influenced by classical music but has an upbeat pop sensibility (a distinctive Hans Zimmer trademark), and as a result is just wonderful to listen to, no matter how liberal or conservative your movie music tastes are. The fun and pulse-pounding "Firetruck" theme struck me when I first heard it in the movie, and is used sparingly enough in the soundtrack so as to not make it boringly redundant. You'd be hard pressed to find a score that is more fun and enjoyable to listen to. Be advised: the songs included in the movie are not on this CD, but I often find that when listening to soundtracks exclusively for the movie score, the songs often get in the way and I skip past them anyway.

Hero Complex.......2003-03-19

As you can probably notice, this is just the composed music from the movie. In that respect something is missing, but when I first heard the composed part of this movie I knew I had to have it.

This soundtrack is not like other soundtracks, such as Jurassic Park, or Independence day, though they are just as good in what they try to convey. However, in most composed soundtracks there is an element of repetition that sticks throughout and there is always the risk of it getting rather dull and boring after a while (Take A Beautiful Mind, for example).

Not with this soundtrack. The first time I listened to it I immediately knew I was going to replay the entire CD. Now, there is a common theme in these tracks, though it is not at all repetitive, and when it does repeat, it's just a stunning combination of instruments playing together. True, the tracks are rather short, but tracks like 14 and 15 makes you realize how amazing it all comes together. The next-to-last track is one of the most interesting ones. It's very jumpy and powerful and at the same time not repetitive. You'd have to listen to it to appreciate how the composer mingled so many melodies that transition perfectly from one to the next. There's just the right element of heroic, suspenceful, and calming music put on this CD without making every other element obsolete.

Now when I listen to it, every time I feel like I'm the hero in the movie. I honestly believe this is perhaps one of the few composed soundtracks that fits perfectly with the movie. In fact, if you saw the movie twice, this soundtrack IS the movie all packaged up neatly and ready to go in your CD player. The music is dynamic and each track is perfect for the scene it represents. The trumpets evoke a strong sense of heroism and the other instruments compliment each other very well. I don't think there's been a time when I haven't smiled listening to this CD. It could be considered somewhat like an anti-depressant. Granted, it's probably not for everybody, but if you like composed, jumpy, and heroic music then you should pick this up and listen to it.

Don't buy it!.......2002-11-28

Beware! This CD is only the background music from the movie, none of the good songs or even vocal overlays. It is a supreme disapointment.
