Personal Thoughts
One of the best soundtracks available from a movie. This is due to how well the music helps to augment the mood of the movie. You have to be a fan of the music in the movie to enjoy the soundtrack. I am not a huge fan of the modern music scene, but I love this soundtrack because the songs blend well with the movie's dark theme. Who wouldn't be taken back to the scene where Eric is putting on his makeup when you hear "Burn" by The Cure, or to the scene when Eric is running across the rooftops when you hear "Dead Souls" by Nine Inch Nails? It's very rare when soundtrack music and film are perfectly married. However, this is one of the cases when this was successfully done. The music helped to set the mood and tempo for some of the pivotal scenes of the movie. This is a "must" purchase for Crow fans.
