This is the soundtrack to the rest of your life 10 Aug, 2009 / Comments: 13
Look, making a Mix CD is hard. I know - I've tried. Making a decent soundtrack is colossal. Making a soundtrack that's supposed to cover the entirety of metal while neither going stupid nor becoming a rundown of hits is something of a full-time job. But managing to do it, and do it with style is the kind of thing you put on your tombstone: "Here lies Jake, who made unbelievably cool soundtracks that rocked the world to its knees. And the world said it was good."
This is one of those soundtracks. Even counting the hair metal on there, the Brutal Legend soundtrack (at this point still incomplete, needing a couple of more songs plus the guaranteed brilliance of Peter McConnell's music), is going to be the best damn thing that happened to your ears since you discovered Sabbath. I mean, just look at this.
I'd like to thank several people: Tim Schafer, for making this possible, and Music Director Emily Ridgway for being the musical shizzle. All the lawyers and suits involved in making this happen get a shoutout as well.
