Editorial Review: Album Description: Featuring new music from Platinum and Gold recording artists Velvet Revolver, Joss Stone, Ben Moody featuring Anastacia, Sum 41, Taking Back Sunday, Chingy, and much more. Amazon.com: There are four good reasons to pick up the Fantastic Four soundtrack. The first three are kinda buried in the middle of the CD--and they all happen to be new songs. First, there's "I'll Take You Down," a nifty rocker by a combo called T.F.F. Never heard of them? They're an ad hoc supergroup featuring the Distillers' banshee Brody Dalle, Yeah Yeah Yeahs' guitarist Nick Zinner, the Datsuns' singer-bassist Dolf de Datsun, and Jet's drummer Chris Cester. Second, Joss Stone's "Whatever Happened to the Heroes" is a lot better than its obvious title suggests; it's a rollicking, old-school rock-soul track namedropping Joe DiMaggio (a hero in Stone's native Devon?) and Marilyn Monroe. Finally, there's "Everything Burns," which sees former Evanescence guitarist Ben Moody collaborating with Anastacia on his first solo outing. It looks like an odd-couple combination but somehow it works--probably because Moody knows how to write bombastic power ballads. (It's certainly less icky than "Hero" from Spiderman.) The fourth good reason is the very last track: "Kirikirimai" is a hyperactive rock/hip-hop hybrid that introduces Japanese band Orange Range to the American market. The rest of the CD, which mixes new tunes and recycled ones, is surprisingly solid with muscular but melodic contributions from Velvet Revolver, Sum 41, Simple Plan, and Lloyd Banks's infectious "On Fire." Just try to get its organ riff out of your head. --Elisabeth Vincentelli Average Rating:
![]() Rating: - Multiple Genres Result In So-So SoundtrackLike many others have stated, Marvel has had great success with the soundtracks of their recent comic-turned-movie characters. "Daredevil," "Elektra," and the wonderful "The Punisher" soundtracks have all fared better than their respective films as far as dollars go. With "Fantastic Four," I believe that Marvel and producer Wind-Up have attempted to create a mixture of sounds as unique as the four heroes from the film. Unfortunately, this alienates every crowd out there by only offering a few ... Read More Rating: - Pitiful,Mtv,Hip Hop,Clubb'in SHITEThis is one of those thrown together soundtracks.All the cookie cutter,whoever is on the "popular music chart" crap music.There was only one cool song in the entire film and it's not even on the soundtrack.I hope the band sues.Don't waste your money on this garbage.There is nothing remotely interesting about anything on this soundtrack,but if you are a gullable sheep who doesn't mind being led to the slaughter,by all means buy the C.D,we need stupid consumers like you out there,you help the economy. Rating: - some great songs- overall goodnot all of the songs are great, but the 1 by simple plan is pretty good & Error Operator was sweet (in my oppinion error operator gave ths ablum 2 of its 4 stars!) Rating: - Three stars for Ten out of Twenty Tracks that were pleasingAs many have said before more this is not the "greatest Superhero themed soundtrack" to indeed purchase and their words could not speak a louder truth. But as long as your Radio has PROGRAM installed within its system then your days should be a whole lot better when listening to this SOUNDTRACK for the 2005 "Fantastic Four" film. MARVEL and WIND-UP RECORDS have probably released some decent soundtracks for the MARVEL movies that didn't make that big-buck in the theaters that made up for ... Read More Rating: - Eh....it's so-so.I am not gonna say but the album, but again, it actually doesn't suck. If you compare it to the queen of the damned album, then it comes nowhere near it. It does have some pretty good voice talent in the way of ben moody, anastacia, lloyd banks, chingy, and others. You aren't doing yourself a favor by buying it, but it isn't worth skipping over. Look into it only if you liked the movie OR you like the artists. 'Nuff said. Browse for similar items by category:
