While this was released in '81 and is indeed the soundtrack to a film called "Heavy Metal," one look at the tracklist suggests you won't find any NWOBHM on here. For seven bucks, I figured I'd get the whole thing.Solid purchase. There isn't a bad song in the bunch so if you're a fan of the movie, you could do much worse than this CD. I'm a fan of a few of the bands on this album, namely Black Sabbath, BOC, Cheap Trick, Nazareth and, to lesser extents, Stevie Nicks and Grand Funk. But what made me buy this was the Don Felder tune "All Of You." In the midst of Sabbath and Nazareth, this song stood out the most to me in the movie. Just some good rock tunes stuck in time.
Apart from that, I adored "Reach Out" by Cheap Trick and "True Companion" by Donald Fagen, even though I loved the whole album.A great buy for the movie fans, South Park, and also those who love listening to rock. It can be listened either when you play as to pass time, or as you play the south park video game "Let's go Tower Defense". After seeing the great "Major Boobage" episode in South Park's twelth season, with its cheesing and its very awesome music from the movie they parodied, Heavy Metal, I decided to purchase the soundtrack from which they used for their episode. Although it is not a heavy metal music, but more rock n' roll, it is still a great collection of songs that several groups have compiled into the movie. Not only that it has a great mix of various groups such as Don Felder, who composed the classic "Hotel California" and plays the excellent "Takin' A ride".
Some of the songs are mellow but the majority are kick ass. i really like this soundtrack even though i really lean towards punk music. i'm really pleased with my purchase & it is always good to have a hard copy.
got this for my husband for an anniversary present and he loved it. I actually have seen it and it's not my cup of tea,but it's a pretty cool movie and the music is good.
The quality was excellent, the delivery time more than met. I am a converted shopper for more visits and purchases to this site.
