Heavy Metal Soundtrack

Love the music from this movie. I'm sort of a nerd, but I read these illustrated comics Heavy Metal back when I was younger. The music along with the animation is incredible!!! This movie is being aired on Tubi, so check it out. I bought the CD version of the soundtrack. Very good music to enjoy here!!!! Highly recommend!!!!

Good cd

Best cartoon Movie ever! It's fun,it's sexual lots of action.Music rocked.watched like a thousand as a teen.I still love it today.Black Sabbath.Journey,Cheap Trick,Blue Oyster Cult.the Movie of your parents!They would be proud to know you saw Heavy Metal!

purchased to replace one that I bought 30+ years ago. IF it wasn't for the damaged case on this new one, it would be as if I went back in time. I do not think this is a "New Old Stock." even the disc has the same silk-screen print as the one from 30 odd years ago. It plays well. So I swapped out the old and placed the new.

Brings back my younger days!

If you saw the movie it's nice to have the soundtrack for the movie.

As idiotic as the movie is - the soundtrack is one of the best ever.

You don't have to be a fan of the film to enjoy this fine collection of songs. This soundtrack album features a good mix of very famous and underground music legends. Don't let the title fool you; this music is better described as rock than heavy metal, but it is good rock. Cheap Trick has one of its best songs on this collection (also one of the best songs of the collection): "Reach Out", which is rarely performed by the band. The catchy and intense "I Must Be Dreaming" is also by Cheap Trick and its frenetic instrumental opening and closing are addictive enough that you'll catch yourself humming it as you go about your day. Journey's famous arena ballad "Open Arms" is included here and is required listening for anyone interested in that group. Stevie Nicks has a decent song here with "Blue Lamp" but is rather overshadowed by Riggs' "Radar Rider", Grand Funk Railroad's short but sweet "Queen Bee" and the atmospheric and haunting "Veteran of the Psychic Wars" by Blue Oyster Cult. The two songs that carry the same title as the album and film are decent songs themselves, but while Sammy Hagar's "Heavy Metal" tends to get old after a few listens (the 1986 album "VOA" is a better representation of what Hagar is capable of), Don Felder's "Heavy Metal (Takin' A Ride)" has far more staying power, mainly due to the well-realized hook and the tight vocal harmonies, particularly during the chorus. For whatever reason, the Devo song "Through Being Cool" is conspicuously absent from this album (it was prominently featured in the film), which is a shame as it's a very good song, but at least Devo's other offering, a quirky cover of "Workin' In The Coal Mine" is included. Any fan of 80's music should enjoy this album; the music is a fine example of its time and much of what is presented here was not released on other collections (there are exceptions though, the most obvious being Devo, Hagar and Journey). Knowledge of the film is not at all necessary to enjoy this. However, I do recommend the film to anyone who enjoys adult animation. If you like 80's music or any of the bands listed, this is a perfect addition to your music library.

Was dazu? Hatte ja die Lp schon aus den 80ern. Kurz,hier sind Lieder drauf ,die hauen jeden (auch) Hardrockfan einfach um. Sehr aufbauende Musikstücke. Hört selber rein,nur wenns Amazon Musik auch anbieten würde,da ist das Problem! Vielleicht kommts ja noch! Würde mich freuen,hör ja da sehr viel,und die LP fehlt dort einfach. Ein muss was einfach in einer Musiksammlung nicht fehlen sollte. Ohren hören gerne😉
