I love a lot of Whedon's stuff to an embarrassing extent, but this sounds like the worst soundtrack in history. IN HISTORY. (I'm not hyperbolic at all.)

This is the soundtrack? Fuck that! With the exception of Soundgarden and Scott Weiland, all these bands suck. Another indication that rock music is truly dead.

What the fuck, Joss? I mean… you haven't let me down yet, but… seriously, what the fuck?

Truly awful, but I doubt Whedon had any more of a hand in it than Raimi did in the Spider-Man soundtrack, which, in case you've forgotten, featured Sum 41, Chad Kroeger, Alien Ant Farm, Aerosmith, and two rather transparent and out of place "hey it's the early 2000s and garage rock is the next big thing!" selections by The Hives and The Strokes. At least Whedon didn't have to put Macy Gray in a major set piece (I hope).

Oh, don't blame Whedon for the soundtrack. Pretty sure the Marvel Creative Committee (that's a real thing) chose those songs.

I wouldn't be surprised if these were actually tracks chosen by Joss Whedon himself.. I could see him listening to this trashy shit.. However, he did write a lounge singer character into Angel so at least we're not getting fucking show tunes

IS IT 1997? OH NO IT CAN'T BE–SUPERHERO FILMS ARE FINANCIALLY SUCCESSFUL

Too bad they didn't include We're In This Together Now by Nine Inch Nails even though they used it in one of the trailers. It's 1999!!!

This doesn't look so bad. Oh you "true music fans."

Apparently Theory of a Deadman is no longer on the album. Any reasons why?

Soundtrack should be matched for the movie's ambience. I like it, not bad. Sounds like Evanescence and Kasabian are kinda handful choices for supposed to be blockbusters. I like Evanescence but this one is just a remixed one.

Well, a lot of you guys must not have any clue.

First of all, I doubt Joss had any hand in picking most of these songs.

Secondly, A LOT of people still listen to these bands. Not only that, but calling it a 1998 mixtape is far from accurate. Half of these groups did not become well known until the 2000s. The recommended 'Bush' at the end is, in fact, one of the most '90s' bands on the soundtrack. And for the other bands who are from the 90s, why does that mean they suck all of a sudden? Tell me, folks, would you rather have Justin Bieber and Britney Spears on this soundtrack? Or Jack Johnson and Adele? I mean come on.

Because the late 90's was such a great period for Marvel Comics…

lol… seriously though, don't be put off by it. Anyone who's ever purchased a movie soundtrack knows that it's bloated with music that never appears in the film and is typically missing the best tracks that do.

unless there is no Limp Biscuit or Korn! but i guess NIN or Smashing Pumpkins were too expensive (or just too good) for the soundtrack

Seeing as this is an action-packed movie, I find nothing wrong with the selected list of songs. Bands like Evanescence, Buckcherry, and Soundgarden are very talented and shouldn't be thrown to dust just because they've been around longer than Black Veil Brides. Because this is an action movie, it is neccesary to include songs from the artists above. Beating on a band because it has more expirience in making music isn't any reason to hate it at all. In my opinion, the music chosen for the movie is just right because it fits the movie's genre. No need to dis good bands just because the aren't the newest ones.

"Truly awful" huh?

You snot-nosed elitists.
