Hardeyes lends an ear to the 2CD MATRIX RELOADED soundtrack!
Hey folks, Harry here with a look at the 2 CD Set for THE MATRIX RELOADED. From Old Europe comes a set of Hardeyes that closed their ever teary gaze to listen to the world, the soundtrack beneath the noise of our lives... hehehe, if ya want to believe the mumbo jumbo of the Wachowski's that is. I'd like more Soundtrack reviews coming in if you folks want to give em a go, this is a very nice one...
Hi Harry,
since this is my first time here (you know the drill) call me Hardeyes.
First of all, sorry if there is any wrong spelling and stuff like this: I am a journalist, but not an English native-speaker, so there might be some errors.
Just got the soundtrack for Matrix: Reloaded: It´s a double cd, as usual “Music from and inspired by the motion picture”. (I´m just wondering a little, that a guy from Austria is one of the first guys to get it, or rather say contribute it here, but I guess the movie-world is getting smaller every day…just attended a press-screening of X2 and it´s a nice feeling, that Europeans don´t have to wait for months anymore to see a cool movie)CD 1.
That´s most likely the “inspired”-part. Hard to say which titles (if any) are included in the movie, but I guess that some of the (Nu) Metal-stuff will fit into the fighting scenes, chase stuff and so. The other half of CD 1 is classical electronic/techno stuff, which is - I guess - more popular over here than in the States.
The "interactive" bonus material is rather disapointing, just some previews from the movie, The Final Flight of the Osiris and The Animatrix, plus a documentary on the making of the "Enter The Matrix" video game. Nice, but nothing special.1. Linkin Park “Session”:
A rather unusual “song” for linkin park, no vocals, no scratching, no happy-metal.
Sounds a little like someone has been listening to the Nine Inch Nails a lot lately, “Session” is some sort of electronic/industrial intro with piano-parts, reminds me quite a lot of the instrumental titles by Trent Reznor. Nothing special though.2. Marilyn Manson “This Is The New Shit”:
In contrary to the song-title, this isn´t really new shit for Mr. Manson. (Why isn´t there any stuff by NIN anyway? Manson is the bastard-son of Trent Reznor, so the godfather of industrial should be on this soundtrack).
Anyway. As mentioned this is nothing new, but everyone who likes Manson should like this as well.
It starts with industrial drums and electronic sounds, rather slow, (Manson whispering) and leads toward the chorus, where the heavy guitars start to kick ass. (Manson screaming).
Personally I don´t like Manson that much, but I have to say that the song is ok.
3. Rob Zombie “Reload”
(Musically) No new shit again. For a couple of years Rob Zombie is doing the same sound all over again. The times, when White Zombie were kind of ground-breaking are over. “Reload” is an up-tempo mixture of guitars and electronics, Rob Zombie is screaming as usual.
Rather boring, Manson has at least a good chorus.4. Rob Dougan “Furious angels”
This is most likely gonna be in the film and it rather fits on the second cd, which is the score one.
I have no idea how this landed on the first disc, probably the producers ran out of space on Disc 2.
It´s a mid-tempo track, that somehow makes me think of end-titles and especially the “Blade Runner” ones. A nice beat with strings leading the way. After the “M: Reloaded”-hellride (which is most likely expecting us in the cinemas) this sounds like the track, when you just lean back for a couple of minutes to watch the end-titles and just have to think a little about what you just saw. Calming down, but also knowing there is much more to come.)5. Deftones “Lucky you”
Very, very slow one. Drums, some sci-fi-sounds and quite slow whispering vocals. Nothing for the charts here, but everyone who knows the deftones, won´t expect a hit-single anyway. “Lucky you” is like a depressing dream, but not without hope. No guitars at all BTW, but still pretty cool.6. Team Sleep “The passportal”
Nice ambient, with quite a lot New Age à la Vangelis, but nothing special.
Can´t really say very much about this, cause it sounds like an interlude, you wouldn´t recognize as a song of its own.7. P.O.D. “Sleeping away”
Don´t like ´em, never have, never will.
Nu Metal for little girls. Too perfect, too smooth, too boring.
Guess every blockbuster needs a song for the charts, so you get some free promo by MTV.
All the kids, that grew up a bit and stopped listening to N*Sync now listen to POD.
Good that the (real) matrix we call our reality has a “skip”-button on the cd-players.8. Ãœnloco “Bruises”
I don´t wanna sound to negative, but I have heard stuff like Ãœnloco already a gazillion times before (never actually heard of this band before).
Melodic slow part with screaming in the chorus. Boring.9. Rage Against The Machine “Calm Like A bomb”
Old one from their “Battle of Los Angeles”-album. I don´t think that you have to describe the style of RATM. Anyone interested in modern music/rock should have at least one Rage-Album at home.10. Oakenfold “Dread Rock”
Up-tempo mixture between goa and ambient music. This is stuff usually featured in videogames like wipEout, where you race with ships, which go something like 1000 mph and you almost feel your skin being pulled back by gravity. Fits good into the matrix.11. Fluke “Zion”
The title of this track sounds pretty important in the ears of Matrix-fans.
The music is pretty similar to the Oakenfold-track. Fast one with pulsing rhythm, just the stuff you can enjoy in many European dance-music-clubs.12. Dave Matthews Band “When The World Ends” (Oakenfold Remix)
I can´t really remember the original version, but this a really good one.
Imagine sitting in a room full of candles, the Four Horseman taking a ride outside and you just wait for it all to end. Yep, this is the soundtrack for the end of the world. It has electronic and piano sounds plus pretty intense vocals. Best cd-1-song by far.CD 2.
Ok, now for the good part. CD Number 2 is the score. I find it rather hard describing scores when I haven´t seen the movie, but i´m sure Harry will do this as soon as he has an O.S.T. of his own, so in the meantime you´ll have to live with this.1. Don Davis “Main Title”
Orchestral intro with rather hectic strings, interrupted only by some dramatic drum-bangs.
Can´t say very much about it, it´s rather a teaser.2. Don Davis “Trinity Dream”
Starting slow with horns, joined by (again hectic) strings. Something very dramatic seems to happen here. It´s getting faster towards the end. This is like “Main Title” continued.3. Juno Reactor feat. Gocoo “Teahouse”
Now we´re talking! Tribal drums and a didgeridoo performed by a Japanese band called“Gocoo”.
I had the chance to see a live-gig by this band/performers at the beginning of this year in Graz/Austria. Gocoo includes something like 20 japanese women drumming their fucking souls out of their body/mind (one or two men are also included). They´re furious on stage, really going insane, jumping, banging on their traditional japanese drums.
It´s like techno without electronics, kinda “The Future Sound of London, unplugged. “Teahouse” I too short for these great performers, but still a really cool song.4. Rob Dougan “Chateau”
Image: Neo flying away from the castle (see trailer), I guess. Techno mixed with orchestral parts.
Up-tempo half of the time with strings, the other half of the title contains basic techno-beats.5. Juno Reactor/Don Davis “Mona Lisa Overdrive”
William Gibson mentioned at last. My favourite track of the album.
Starts pretty slow with a dramatic groove. After a while the song changes completely and gets fast as hell. The ultra-fast beat sort of reminds of the Blade-“Blood Bath”-track. (Sure there are no vampires in Matrix: Reloaded?) Pure techno-adrenaline with some strings and horns. The strings turn into a “swarm of bees” later, but the heavy beat dominates here definitely.
Towards the end there is even a short “Carmina burana”-like part sung by a choir.6. Juno Reactor vs. Don Davis “Burly Brawl”
There is definitely some fighting going on here, I can almost see Neo kicking some ass here. Similar to “Mona Lisa Overdrive”, again with a little singing.
Something very important is happening here for sure.7. Don Davis " `Matrix Reloaded´ Suite"
Back to orchestral-only, no electronic music included here.
Longest track on the cd, is a lot calmer than the titles before. Most of it is rather slow/quiet, some faster/loud parts break the silence from time to time, but my overall feeling is rather, that this is the time to chill out a bit.
So, that´s it.
Cheers from good "old" Europe,
Hardeyes

Im a big Metal fan, and P.O.D. kicks ass!!! Im sorry they are too talented for your ears, but they place a melodic tone on heavy songs like no one does.
-
Yeah, get over it, nancy... The Matrix is a soulless rip off of Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, Ghost in the Shell, and some of Billy Corgan's wardrobe... and really, POD... Lets face it, girlies, POD are sissy ass boys... They're just a bunch of nipples!!! All that said, Laurence Fishburne rocks. Goodnight, Jennifer.
-
I guess dildos reviewing music is pretty sad when all they know about is movies, is kind of funny.
NIN are far from being Godfathers, he is nothing but a Ministry wanna be band. Pretty Hate Machine sounded like it wanted to be Twitch.
If you want music that would fit in more with the film, you need more electronica and industrial, something that sounds like post apocolyptic music, like Skinny Puppy, Front Line Assembly, KMFDM, even electronic bands like Atari Teenage Riot, Junkie XL and Aphex Twins.
As far as that POD comment, i think their music belongs in this movie as much as a Yanni song does. They only have crappy rap/rock bands on here to sell to the stupid teenagers who have no clue about music. Dave Matthew, i dont care if he is remixed by Jeff Mills... he is crap, utter complete crap. He is one of those people i wonder why people like, sorta like the Grateful Dead and Phish. They have a following of dumb frat boys and psuedo hippies.
Anyways.. sounds like the soundtrack is only about half good. The metal bands could be taken out cause they arent good.
POD should rename themselves to POS. -
POD is for little kids. "DUde, let's sound like everything on the radio, but like, be christians...DUDE!" "Dude?" "Duuuuuude!" Anyone that has kids chanting IS for kids. Barney has songs with kids chanting.
-
Still absolutley excellent nonetheless. Ministry and KMFDM do indeed "rule", though. "The rules, the rules do not apply".
-
POD are a pack of fruity fucking candy-asses that only gay metallers like.

Anyone who compares 'New Sh**' to NIN is fucking kidding themsel
by kong33
As though that Linkin instrumental could be compared to NIN! 'Session' is clearly hip-hoppy, while nearly every NIN instrumental is industrial/classical. How much could this guy know about music? Sounds like good tracks anyway... I hope the cover isn't all green n' black.
-
Well, consider Skinny Puppy. I think NIN is way better than they will ever be, but they deserve credit. Also, KMFDM's Tim SKOLD is in M.Manson's band now, he's in 'New Shit', along with a Make-A-Wish kid.
-
For those of you who only learn about music from Carson Daly, POD was doing the rap-metal thing before Korn and the rest of them came along. They weren't jumping some bandwagon, they were the pioneers. Furthermore, they at least have enough integrity as musicians to evolve their sound, instead of releasing the same album four times in a row like Jonathan Davis.
And to the chump who said that Dave Matthews is frat crap and should be ignored, go listen to the track and have your mind changed, 'cause it's pretty impressive and doesn't sound at all like Tripping Billies or whatever.
What is it son? Knowledge. -
even though taste is subjective, which comes across in the dave mathews pick, this guy is calling it pretty good. POD does suck, same with manson. it's too bad the NU-metal shit started from something good. the first korn album was a good one with meaning behind the songs. they're preaching about the same old shit now (with a formula) and the movement should die. the rap-rock thing was born and parished with rage against the machine. faith no more was touching on it a bit before but no one since rage has even come close to pulling it off. to all you NU metal heads check out TOOL and realize then what hard/atmospheric rock is all about. it's time for music to make the change in the cycle and this soundtrack hinders this natural progression. aside from the deftones there isn't an original track in the whole thing. to better understand what i'm getting at look to the horrible band, filter. their acoustic shit in the early ninties was amazing (is "way to go bro" on the x-files t.v. soundtrack) and now they're corporate whores. gentrification of music.
-sl- (and i know my spelling sucks shti) -
Come on now. POD has been around for a very long time. Their first album came out when I was in elementary school. I heard them back in 92. It is my opinion that when NSync fans grow up they start listening to Dave Matthews. By the way, POD stands for Payable on Death. All of the fans groan when they hear the POD "hits" on the radio. They have far better songs.

I'm sorry but the POD song on this soundtrack sucks ass!
by kampbell-kid
I love POD but dear god this song just sucks. He's totally right on in his review. BOOOORRRIIING! It's been on the matrix.com site for awhile and it's devoid of all originality. It's redundant and a boring easy cop out for a decent artist like POD. The song just really reeks "Hey! I'm excited to be on this film soundtrack but could only think of one good chorus in the couple of months they gave me to come up with a song!". Very disapointing...

I love how everyone is talking about metal/industrial as though
by pumpymcass
Give it up nerds. The rap metal will always be lame bullshit (except for Rage) and industrial will always be geeky. Time for a new movement. The "The" band movement is depressingly nearly dead (except for the new Stripes tour) and liking the emo bands makes you feel gay half the time. It would be cool if people caught onto alt-country (Old 97s, Ryan Adams, Wilco, Pete Yorn, Rhett Miller,) but it isn't going to happen b/c it isn't flashy enough. Progressive shit would be cool to see catch on (Radiohead, Sigur Ros) but once again it is too weird for the main stream (a Matrix soundtrack by Radiohead would be amazing...a Matrix soundtrack by Sigur Ros would be potworthy). What do I care? If it becomes popular I'll just denounce liking it anyways? I just realized how lame my rant is, seeing how I am getting all record store employee on your collective asses but seriously, give up all forms of metal and get a girlfriend. Hope this makes sense.

Is like calling Green Day the originators of "punk". Laughably naive. I can hear Al Jourgensen screaming in frustration as we speak.

by darthcorleone
The Dave Matthews Band draws creatively from several musical genres, and they have some damn good musicians. I'm actually a bit resentful that they've gotten so popular, because they don't deserve to be dismissed as nonimagininative musical opiate for the masses. As for Nine Inch Nails, I will not argue who is the godfather, who inspired whom, etc. Reznor just rules. Oh, and the score in The Matrix was very disappointing; I hope it is improved. The understated atmospheric background stuff was o.k., but the dominant orchestral stuff seemed uninspired to me. The music accompanying the Morpheus rescue helicopter scene almost completely ruined the drama for me. I say they should stick with the good electronica (e.g., the phone-in scene prior to the ambush), the cool eastern-inspired stuff (Morpheus vs. Neo, drum-dominated piece that didn't even make the soundtrack), and maybe throw in some Engines-of-Creation-era Joe Satriani. Sounds like a decent mix here, though.

Great, more WHITE TRASH MUSIC just what the world needs LESS of.
by kaws
You know this to be true...do you not?
-
Session is a suped-up version of a 2-minute short from Linkin Park's Hybrid Theory EP. It's just not got the scratching or some of the beats...but it's good. It's not as good as Cure For The Itch, but that being said, it is written by Mike Shinoda and remixed by Mr Hahn. It's been out on METEORA since March 24th / 25th depending on where you live, so it's not a new track.
Oh and the P.o.D. tracks sucks monkey ass. -
Surprisingly, this POD song is amazingly good. I've had it on loop for a long time. Do You See what I see?----Do You Hear what I hear?----Can You Feel Like I feel?-----Cant stop Sleeping Awake.

by silentbobafett2
I hate all these INSPIRED by soudntracks!! They actually make me physically sick and pissed off!!!!! You all sit here and moan about whats wrong with movies and how commerical they are when one of the biggest piss takes is the O.S.T market!!!!! HOW THE FUCK can a a movie has an inspired by song? When sometimes the song came out 10 FUCKING YEARS before the film and its ain't even in the film!!!! Movie scores rule!! When they're well done!!! of course!!! Its a crime that great films have amazing scores but us film lover will never get them so a bunch of teeny boppers can by the soudntrack of pop songs they can get else where. INFACT i'd lvoe to know how many teeny boppers by INSIPRED BY sound tracks! It surely can't be that many. I don't mind soundtracks with SONGS fromt eh film in them and this TWO C.D set is a good idea and if htey releae and O.S.T and Inspiured BY S.T then thats okay. But just to release one is insane and cuntish!!!! But thats what happens. Maybe I'll kicked off for this, I';m the last of a dying breed. Real movie lovers. I love it all. But thats what happens!!!!! Oh well...... tell me am I the only one or do you guys feel the same?
-
I really don't see how you can pretend to be all hard and stuff when you're singing about your love for Jesus Christ. These clowns need to go the way of Stryper. The last thing anyone needs from a bunch of stoners with guitars is self-rightous preaching. Fuck POD.
-
I just think that all these people downplaying NIN are ignoring songs you can't hear anywhere else like Burn, Hurt, Closer, etc. etc. Regardless of chronology, no other band wrote those songs. Also, NIN have changed (though only slightly), adding a classical/softer tinge. could you have heard 'Into The Void' or 'I'm looking forward to joining you, finally', 'The big come down' -- or even 'Perfect Drug' on The Downward Spiral? No.
Also, compare 'Holy Wood' to 'GAOG' from M.Manson. Not just the singles, which are too similar for my taste. For instance, 'Doll Dagga Buzz-Buzz Ziggety-Zag' to 'Lamb of God'! Or 'Antichrist Superstar' to the instrumentation in 'Count to Six And Die', 'Valentine's Day', or 'A Place In The Dirt'.
Also, I was defending SPuppy as godfathers but saying I don't really need their music. -
...there's no contemporary country on this soundtrack. You whine and cry about nu-metal? Try to stomach THAT shit.
-
Reznor IS the godfather of industrial because his albums broke through in the marketplace while Ministry never went beyond cult status. To draw another musical analogy, Jorgenson is Carl Perkins and Trent Reznor is Elvis.
-
Deftones...what an apt band name
back to schoooooool, where we are the leeeeeeeaders. LOL.

Throbbing Grissle and Skinny Puppy were around before NIN was a thought in Trent's mind. The dick-fuck from Filter was in the first incarntation of NIN (he is in the Down In It video - chasing Trent around). Alt-Country is not popular because it is mostly only average tunes (and the people that could make it big are trying harder than ever to keep it small). In fact, the DMB get closer to creating alt-country than most of the poor bands/musicians that have been labeled as BEING alt-country. Metal has been around since Black Sabbath and people have always dissed it. It's the thing your parents hate, but it's an excuse as a kid to have long hair, wear black and be left the fuck alone (something that the idiots who constantly make fun of them never seem to get). Electronic music has been the "next big thing" for about 10 years. Rap has now become the most pop (popular) music there is, but people (fans and artists) continue to think it's "hard" and "underground". The point to this whole post is that music should be shared and listened to. Talk to your friends about it. Listen to something a friend recomends, even if you THINK you don't like it. Listen to what your parents say about music (and laugh when they realize their parents told them the same thing). Hell, share your music with you parents. Ask your great grandmother what kind of music she listened to. Since man first heard animals vocalizing and started banging rocks and sticks together to make sounds and rythms, we have shared music. Of course some music does just plain suck (even by bands you like) and I'm not trying to say otherwise. But any all encompassing statement about a type of music, i.e., Nu-metal sucks, electronic music sucks, alt-country sucks is ridiculous in it's close-mindedness and does nothing other than prove you have too much rigidity and lack of imagination in your life. There are only 12 notes.
-
Well, the shitty descriptions notwithstanding, it seems like the Don Davis/Juno Reactor pairing (e.g. best new up-and-coming score composer meets decade-old trance band with a dearth of new ideas) might actually have worked out after all. New York avant-garde meets British goa-pop. Who knew? Also: those of you bitching about the history of NIN and the rest of the angsty nightmarish goth genre might do well to seek out Coil sometime. Will give first CD a fair shake, but suspecting that I'll end up using it as a frisbee anyways.
-
I worshiped RDJ (AFX, Aphex Twin, Caustic Window, Polygon Window, Bradley Stryder, Mike and Rich, etc.) for many years. I have all but 5 or 6 of his Rephlex Records releases (all 130 or so of them). I also collect electronic music (have since my first rave in 1990) and I have to say, that Rich ain't all that anymore. Historically, he's one of the big three in the IDM field (the others being U-ziq and Squarepusher), but recently, as he is putting out music at a much slower pace, I have been able to listen to all the old stuff, all the new stuff and endless stuff by OTHER people. What I have come to realize is that Mr. Aphex got really lucky. He was around at the right time, picked the right people to work with and put out the right tunes at the right time. Strangely, if you listen to each Squarepusher and Aphex release in order, it is impossible to NOT notice that Mr. Jenkinson was QUITE OFTEN copied by Mr. James (not the other way around). Also, there are HUNDREDS of electronic music "producers" that have put our stunningly good singles or full albums that are just ignored and they go away. For instance, give Freeform a chance. Anyway - not sure what the point of this post is as I love RDJ and don't mean to slag him. Also, I truly hope he does a film score someday (preferably with Chris Cunningham...and preferably, Chris will be directing something from the mind od Mr Gaiman...Neil, that is), but I also hope that another brilliant composer is not overlooked because the Twin has such a recognizable name. End of off-topic rant.
-
No, don't fuck Al. You'll catch something nasty. I don't think just because NIN are bigger in terms of sales that they should be considered as more of an influence than any of Jourgensen and Barker's beautifully evil noises. I saw NIN in Dublin in '94, saw Ministry recently in Amsterdam, both absolutley amazing shows, they are my two favourite bands, but (some people are going to dismiss EVERYTHING i say in future now!), but i saw Rammstein last year, and they put on the greatest show i have EVER seen, no competetion. I dragged along two friends who hated them before, and as soon as the show finished, they were totally converted. But, anyway, Ministry are a bigger influence than NIN, as someon said earlier, Trent even went as far as getting Adrian Sherwood to do his first album so it's sound even more like Ministry's "Twitch". Current NIN has evolved into something that goes far beyond "industrial rock", or whatever we're calling it, but Ministry's last album is a band that has been totally fucking reinvigorated. Sure, they've had their rough patches, but even Filth Pig and Dark Side of the Spoon are classics compared to this Nu-Metal piss that "the kids" are listening to. "The Kids" would do well to check out some friggin' KMFDM, now there's a band that are constantly changing, and manage to be a million times better than the shite that gets into the charts. Chart-oriented music, be it Limp Bizkit or Manson is usually shite. Now, i am a huge Manson fan, but as someone has already said, the songs that get released as singles are usually the same old stormers that the morons are gonna buy. You never see him release the quieter songs that actually have menaing of any of their albums. Looking forward to Golden Age of the grotesque, especially to see what Skold of KMFDM has done for their sound, but i have to say, their new single is totally underwhelming. Exactly the same as the previous few singles, same old sound. Finally, anyone else who likes Ministry, did you hear Bill Rieflin is currently playing for fuckin' REM? That's a shocker!!

Musicians like Wilco and Ryan Adams suck just as much, if not more, than the likes of P.O.D., Korn, etc...

I am really sorry for people who think that POD rockZ !
POD sucks....
i wished they would have gotten some reazy electronic people to do the soundtrack... like Autechre.. or Matmos... Matmos would have been uber cool.
or at least some good rock bands.. there are so many bands out there that truly rock.... P.O.D certainly isn't one of them.
and isn't it funny.... I live in Vienna and just returned from a Karate concert (they are from Boston)... I'll go to AICN and there is a review on an US website from an Austrian.

soundtracks are cool too, but so are regular songs. Its a cool way to get into the vibe of the flick, even if it wasn't created specifically for it. I mean, picture the end of "Fear and Loathing In Las Vegas" without "Jumpin' Jack Flash" playing, or hell, even "Reserviour Dogs" without "Stuck In the Middle With You" and instead all those scenes are just purely instramental. Music can be listened to in all ways it reflect a film, not just one way that a composer made it.

Maybe I am clsoe minded, I'm not sure if one knows if one is or not. I hope I'm not! I lvoe all music. My collection, which to boost my ego I will say is large, comprises of everything from Adam F through Aphex Twin though Led Zeppelin through Beatles Through Elton JOhn through Elgar Trough to my fave which is movie soundtracks. I own Fear and Loathing O.S.T and Reseivoir dogs. And your right htey rock and they make the movie BUT, and I just think you miss read my e-mail, with the amount of typos I include its understandable!!! Sorry loosing the plot!! BUT I HATE THE SOUNDTRACKS for films that either have A) Great scores and the only O.S.T avialable contains songs from bands whose C.Ds you can picks up in any store but will I ever get the score by (Insert name here) NO. And B) Songs that have NEVER been in the bloody film from the start and are just in the O.S.T to make a quick buck!!!! So its not about being close minded, if anythign its the people who relase thee soudntrakcs as O.S.T are clos eminded. WE WANT THE FUCKING ORIGINAL SCORE how the FUCK can an O.S.T be ORIGINAL if it includes INSPIRIED by songs, even ones that came out 10 years prior. I hope that clears that up!!!! Keep cool Tall Boy....
-
film scores can be wonderful, but soundtracks are sometimes just as sublime. Consider:
"paint it black" and "these boots were made for walking in FULL METAL JACKET
Massive Attack in The Insider
"in-a-gadda-da-vida" in MANHUNTER
"dancing in heaven" in GIRLS JUST WANNA HAVE FUN
"beat city" in FERRIS BUELLER'S DAY OFF
"blue skies" (Jarreau) in GLENGARRY GLEN ROSS
-
Despite what some of you people say, its the truth. POD does have their own sound. Its a shame that most of the hate people have of them comes from the fact that these guys love Jesus Christ. I find it offensive and ridiculous that people dont like them for the reason of their faith. There are alot of quality Christian music out their that is great! (www.radiou.com) Grow up people!!! The lyrics about faith in something better and not accepting the world we live in is perfect for the biblical themes in the Matrix. And chanting kids in the song...what a stupid arguement for saying they suck. Pink Floyd and NAS are respectable artists who did that, too. POD is actually a critically acclaimed band. Satellite was one of the most praised rock albums of 2001. The lyrics of 'youth...' are framed in the rock hall (as of July when i went) Face it guys...POD is here to stay and have a successful career. They wont sell out on their love for Christ... wish I could say the same for Evanescence.
