Description

With the Success of the Matrix back in 99, it was only a matter of time before the sequel would arrive. Now along with the original Matrix came a hard-hitting soundtrack from today's top rock/metal bands. So with Reloaded also came the music soundtrack. And to put it bluntly the music surpasses the movie itself, but not by much. What we get for Reloaded is a two disc set with mixed results.

Disc one of Reloaded follows in the same footsteps of the first movie by bringing out the hard rock. The disc opens with a snooze from Linkin Park with "session" and only manages to get a little bettermore… after that. The tracks range from good, RATM's "Calm like a Bomb". To really poor, Team Sleep "pass portal". To the downright ugly, why in the world is the Dave Matthews band on here? The standout track is the ever good Rob Dougan's "Furious Angels". An epic combination of symphony and techno. Overall, a big letdown. 1 star.

Luckily we get a second disc that tries to redeem the first. Disc two encompasses Don Davis's score from the first movie carried over for the second, and in my opinion one of the best techno bands ever, Juno Reactor. With the combination of their two talents we get some excellent pulse pounding music in the "Mona Lisa Overdrive" and "the burly brawl." This music really helps you get into the action scenes. Disc two really helps the movie experience and is fun to listen to. 4 ½ stars.

As a bonus this cd comes enhanced with a couple trailers and a short making of the videogame for Enter the Matrix. Its not very insightful but they are still cool additions, which boosts this cd's score by ½ a star.

In closing, after the huge bar set by the Matrix its sequel just couldn't live up to the hype of the first. The film was bad but the soundtrack only manages to squeak by because of Davis's score and the nice addition with Juno Reactor. I only recommend this for the second cd and the extras, but even then I'd only buy it dirt cheap. 3 stars in the end.
