To me at first this soundtrack didn't look all that special. It starts out on the first single and the 2nd track is a POD remix, no offense to them, but I wasn't much excited to where it was leading. I was actually surprised by it, by the 6th track it was sounding good. I enjoyed the sequence of the tracks and the new songs were really good. Takes really apart from the other albums that came out recently like Queen of the Damned OST or Resident Evil OST. Although this soundtrack is still in the same band-field as the other 2, it had a more sense of originality and being well constructed.

The new tracks by System Of A Down, Godsmack, and others really make this soundtrack a good reason to spend your money on, it's not just another mix of songs you heard on your radio before. Overall this is a very good soundtrack and if you plan on buying one, buy this.

Rating: 4/5                   Buy This Album

Kittie, three young women from London, Ontario, Canada, have kicked my ass once again. To be totally honest with you when I first heard Kittie's first album, Spit, I thought they sucked. But that initial impression changed drastically one day when I was bored and ran through my entire cd collection. Spit is good album contrary to popular belief and if you agree, you will definitely love their sophomore effort, Oracle.

Much more heavier and explosive that their debut album, Oracle is said to manifest all the fury of Spit, but the blade of Oracle has been honed to a keen edge and hardened in the fires of hell. I wouldn't go as far to say that myself due to the fact that Kittie is no where close to be that type of band that Artemis Records describes. They go on to say that Oracle speaks of a journey of loss, despair and deception but foretells of an ultimate destination of truth and triumph.

Very interesting, but if your like me you don't really care about all that mumbo jumbo, just go out and buy the album. Its due to hit stores, November 13.

On November 13, Sevendust's third album, Animosity hits stores. My prediction is that they will surpass Kittie in first week sales. This is because for Animosity Sevendust embraced the ideal like many other bands that one does not have to be angry to get their point across. Thus you will notice how more melodic this album is as compared to their past releases, Self-titled and Home. Though the change is not drastic, you can hear the difference.

There is no outstanding difference between their sophomore release and Animosity. It just picks up where Home left off. I like this album, if you're fan I definitely recommend it. If not, I suggest you buy this album just for the fact that this would be a nice addition to anyones cd collection.
