The Saw 3D Soundtrack Sets Pen to Paper and Foot to Pedal

Saw 3D Soundtrack Cover
Sideways Media provided a free CD of the Saw 3D soundtrack for review and the tracks were a heavy metal delight. However, there is more than just hard rock in these sixteen tracks. There is technology influenced rock, some blues, thrash and pop rock. Pop rock almost always gets an immediate fail here, but heavier tracks like "Goliath" by Karnivool, "Bad Ass" by Salive and "The World Belongs to Me" by My Darkest Days make up for what the soundtrack lacks. These are excellent choices for a film that deserves heavier, authentic sounds. A more specific review inside.

Executive Producers: Mark Burg, and Oren Koules.

Soundtrack Album Producers: Jonathan Platt, Jonathan Miller, & Jonathan McHugh.

Soundtrack Album Executive Producers: Vinny Rich.

Tracks:/Review Notes:
1. Saving Abel – "Never" 3.5/5 Decent, not too heavy, not too soft.
2. Hinder - "Waking Up The Devil" 4/5 Heavy enough for the film, good voice.
3. Karnivool - "Goliath" 4.5/5 Like vocals and bass pedal. Rhythmic
4. Nitzer Ebb – "Promises" 2/5 Repetitive, the word Promises x 120.
5. Kopek - "Love Is Dead" 4/5 Misanthropic, self-loathing and good.
6. Saliva - "Bad Ass" 4.5/5 Best? Very good. Put fist in the air!
7. My Darkest Days - "World Belongs To Me"4.5/5 Soft then heavy then soft then heavy.
8. I-Exist - "Firefly" Skipped - blah.
9. Lordi - "This Is Heavy Metal" 4/5 Love Lordi, all hail the grandmaster!
10. Dead By Sunrise – "Condemned" 4/5 Liked it, did not love it.
11. Wagdug Futuristic Unity – "Ram The Crush" Skipped.
12. Boom Boom Satellites - "What Goes Around..." 3.5/5 Techno influenced rock.
13. Default - "Turn It On" 3/5 Pop rock, average, forgettable.
14. Adelites Way - "Scream" 4/5 Good lyrics, heavy enough, good.
15. Krokus - "Hoodoo Woman" 4/5 Blues, Grass, and Rock. Nice.
16. Dir En Grey - "Hageshisa to..." 4/5 German? Guttural, heavy. Japanese.
