Advantages: Good variety in dance music Disadvantages: not enough songs, as thirteen just is not enough...
...at the end of the Matrix film. The screaming of ‘wake up’ at the end seems to round off the track and the soundtrack nearly too nicely! "How long? Not long, ‘cos what you reep is what you sow…" Good or what?
The inlay gives you some details about the songs, and some great pictures from the film. The CD has a nice covering, those green lines from the film. Going down Neo's computer screen...I have the screensaver of that ...

Guaranteed to Wake you Up Review ofMatrix - The Animatrix, The - Original Soundtrackby
arcadionseyes
Advantages: some brilliant tracks, LOUD Disadvantages: it threatens to all go a bit samey half way through
...hollow movie by some, the Matrix is the one movie that I must have watched more than any other film. The special effects may have made the movie in a major part, but I always felt the soundtrack was something else that made this movie stand out so well. Tracks such as Minefields and Wake Up(Prodigy and Rage against the Machine respectively) are instantly recognisable as you will doubtlessly remember them from the film itself, but perhaps these tracks ...

A Good Mixture for the Matrix
I thought the film 'The Matrix' was the best film of 1999. It mixed great fight scenes with thought-provoking philosophy.
The Soundtrack album is great and definitely well suited to the film. It is a mixture of music from the film and music inspired by it. Some of the tracks are fast dance music (2 Spybreak!, 5 PrimeAudio Soup), some are calmer (4 Clubbed to death), and some just sound angry (1 Rock is Dead, 12 Du ...

Rock isn't Dead Review ofMatrix - The Animatrix, The - Original Soundtrackby
nicolap
Advantages: monster riffs Disadvantages: a bit too drum'n'bass for some perhaps
Having only seen bits of the Matrix, I can't really tell you how it compares to the music used in the film, but purely as a compilation, this album is amazing. It is taken from two main categories of music, metal and drum'n'bass. Unfortunately, drum'n'bass isn't usually my thing, but some of the tracks on here from that category are outstanding, such as the Meat Beat Manifesto track 'Prime Audio Soup'. The reason the album gels so well is the fact ...

The Matrix Party [1] Review ofMatrix - The Animatrix, The - Original Soundtrackby
Spyke_Martin
Advantages: Du hast, Dragula, Clubbed to Death, etc Disadvantages: Wake Up, only 13 songs...
...than a film. But is Matrix a simple movie or a sort of videogame?
Good sound, however.
3) BAD BLOOD – Ministry
Rock again, no real changes. Same melody from the beginning till the end. Exception: the end.
That kind of music is suited for a snowboard videogame like SSX.
Great song.
4) CLUBBED TO DEATH – Rob D
5 STARS!!! It's a mix between sounds electronics and instruments non electronics. A real great track. The feeling is dramatic, ...

SHOVE IT Review ofMatrix - The Animatrix, The - Original Soundtrackby
kuap
Advantages: The movie rocked, so does the S/T Disadvantages: nada..
Well, this is one compilation I'm glad I own, as many movie soundtracks have a few decent songs if you're lucky. This one on the other hand, is a hard rock lover's dream, this album features Marilyn Manson, Deftones, Rammstein, Rob Zombie, Rage Against The Machine.
Starting off with Marilyn Manson's "Rock is Dead", you think "this CD is pretty cool" then you look down the track listing and think, "oh yeah. This CD actually competes with the movie ...

Too Good! Review ofMatrix - The Animatrix, The - Original Soundtrackby
Garza007
Advantages: you want to listen to it again and again Disadvantages: only sounds good really loud
...fan but after hearing The Matrix soundtracks, I might just change my mind. I loved the Lobby Scene in the film, where the played the Propellerheads soundtrack. And the end music Rage Agaisnt the Machine is magnificent. I like it so much that I've even put it on my homepage, as background music... but you'll have to wait for my homepage, since I haven't launched it yet. The soundtracks work perfectly within the movie... since hearing these soundtracks ...

<matrix> Review ofMatrix - The Animatrix, The - Original Soundtrackby
pe_jones
Advantages: Great music Disadvantages: price
The Matrix soundtrack has to be one of the best film sountracks ever! However you either love it or you hate it! The hard rock/ electronical
type music is as good as it gets although some tracks contain explicit
lyrics. It's a mix of extremely lively music and is a fanastic dance and party album. Some music on the album isn't actually on the Matrix Film as it is 'inspired' by it! Some tracks you won't recognize from the film as only a few parts ...

A must for every rock fan Review ofMatrix - The Animatrix, The - Original Soundtrackby
Nirvanachick2000
The Matrix sountrack is the best sountrack I have heard to this very day and is one of those cd's that once you buy it, it's impossible to stop listening. The first track is the amazing 'Rock is Dead' by the one and only Marilyn Manson taken from the 1998 album, Mechanical Animals. This is a brilliant opening and gets you in the mood for several more rock anthems. Also featured are the Deftones with 'My Own Summer' and Rage Against the Machine with ...

Awesome Review ofMatrix - The Animatrix, The - Original Soundtrackby
MarcusPerkins
Advantages: Disadvantages:
The Matrix soundtrack is simply awesome. I brought it having watch the video 20 times and loved the music. The soundtrack contains music from Rage against the Machine, Marilyn Manson and Prodigy amongst other and fits the Matrix theme being very industrial and hard. The songs that fit different parts of the film like the Kung-Fu training are well chosen and together make a memourable soundtrack. The last song on the album by Rage against the Machine ...

Advantages: You can listen to it time and time again! Disadvantages: Your neigbours complain when you play it loud!
Most people have seen the film "The Matrix", and if you have you should remember how good the film really was, from the visual effects to the stunts used, and not forgetting the excellent soundtrack that accompanied it!
Can you remember it now? You Can, well I dont need to tell you much apart from the album just tops it off, and any fan of "The Matrix" will have to get this album.
With such tracks as "Rock is Dead" by Marilyn Manson, and "Mindfields" ...

Advantages: Lots of music from the film Disadvantages: Doesn't have Massive Attack's 'Dissolved girl'
I brought this CD the day after seeing the film for the first time. I noticed that the collection of hard rock and metal sounds throughout the film added a lot to the feel of the film so I thought I'd give this CD a spin. Be warned, it is definately not for everyone. It's probably a little too much for most people's tastes, incorporating heavy tracks from Marilyn Manson and the Deftones. However, if you are into this kind of music then it serves as ...
