Album Review

Marvel’s The Avengers movie has cracked a long list of box office records already and already is titled the most successful movie based on comics of all time already. All the more important that you get a proper soundtrack for this one! The track list reads like a who-is-who of rock music, starting with SOUNDGARDEN and ‘Live To Rise’ who deliver a surprisingly acoustic flavour placed along a an endearing chorus. SHINEDOWN is up next with their contribution ‘I’m Alive’ that gets the pace up a little more and is much more than just a head-nodding pleasure. RISE AGAINST then come around the corner to deliver one of the most outstanding tracks this compilation has to offer with ‘Dirt And Roses’, just everything is in its right place. Then PAPA ROACH have ‘Even If I Could’ for us. Nothing particularly extraordinary by their standards but an enjoyable few minutes!

Haven’t listened to BUSH in years who with ‘Into The Blue’ come up with meandering guitar chords centring around Rossdale’s signature vocals and clear drum sections. The next one is already a killer track by the vocals of Amy Lee alone, but the electronics amidst scissoring industrial-like riffs make the remixed ‘A New Way To Bleed’ a treat. ‘From Out Of Nowhere’ by FIVE FINGER DEAH PUNCH presents an upbeat pleasure with great vocals until KASABIAN close the record with ‘Pistols At Dawn’, a  gritty, blues-inflicted rock track. It’s the same with every soundtrack to be honest. There are things you like and things you don’t. In this case it’s 50/50. However, if you’re a fan of various rock genres you can’t go entirely wrong with this one.
