Further proof that the 15-year-old male is the nexus of contemporary popular entertainment, this anthology of music from and "inspired by" the sequel to the earth-conquering Halo saga also showcases how capably the video game industry can trump even Hollywood's vaunted production values. The original synth-heavy underscore by Martin O'Donnell and Michael Salvatori is filled with enough brooding, mock-Goth atmospherics, and pulsing exotica of indeterminate ethnicity to give the Hans Zimmer stable a run for their money, while a slate of (mostly) worthy rock star guest turns give it a welcome edge. Legendary axe-slinger Steve Vai's sinewy riffing punches up the reworked main theme and "Never Surrender," while alt.metal contenders Breaking Benjamin serve up the suitably dramatic inspired-by cut "Blow Me Away." But it's Incubus' four-part "Odyssey" suite that's the centerpiece, bridging 1970s prog and modern rock with its moody aura and evocative musical dramatics. --Jerry McCulley

This CD stayed in my truck's CD player for months before getting tired of it. Enough said.

5 out of 5 stars Great game - great music.......2007-01-10

My son wanted this Cd. I had never sat long enough to listen to the music when he played Halo, so I didn't have a clue what I was buying. He let me listen to some of the tracks once it arrived and I had to "borrow" it from him so I could download the cd onto my pc. Needless to say I bought volume 2 and the original Halo soundtrack cd as well. They may belong to my son, but I love these cds too!

3 out of 5 stars Hug your pillows girls.......2006-08-06

THe only reason I am writing anything about this album is because it contains the Odyssey by Incubus, and its probably some of their best work and will go down as their most unnoticed. While the rest of your nerds are huggin your pillows at night thinking about your video games and the "gnarly instrumentals" on this album you sit there and bash Incubus' work. The first track by them, Follow, is not all that great however it was re-released on an additional cd with their Alive at Red Rocks DVD and it sounds sooooooo much better on that cd (with some real lyrics) But after listening to the Odyssey I was really hoping this to be a new direction for Incubus, a more proggressive/conceptual sound. Whether this is the direction they go on with their new album is yet to be heard. Its a shame that this work will go unnoticed, and the only reason it will be that way because a bunch of losers decide to try and impress people with (what they think) is a sense of music just because its of a classical nature. Yes, the rest of the music on the album is amazing, and I give big ups to its composition, but come on people, show some love to good music when its presented to your faces.

5 out of 5 stars best video game soundtrack ever........2006-08-03

i understand that many people are a bit angry with breaking benjamin and hoobastank being in here. i'm not particularly happy myself with the last track, but i think contemporary music is appropriate here, albeit lyrics may not be the greatest form of expressing the mysterious feeling behind everything. i think o'donnel and salvatori have what it takes to compose a score of music, but it's not a score, it's a soundtrack. i found that if you don't like them you can just skip them. the second to last track is a great way to end the soundtrack.

5 out of 5 stars classical music listeners stop complaining.......2006-05-10

The worst part of this album was songs with lyrics (breaking benjamin, techno, hoobastank)...i dont understand then why people are upset with the incubus - follow has one word the whole song (two if you count "yeah") and their instrumental songs are brilliant, floyd-esque at times. for those of you reading others criticizing this album, ignore them, ignore the three bad songs on this album, and purchase it and enjoy it.

5 out of 5 stars TRIUMPH'S NEVER SURRENDER ALBUM PICKS UP WHERE ALLIED FORCES LEFT OFF........2007-04-29

I will be writing a review on the legendary masterpiece album entitled "NEVER SURRENDER" by one of Rock's all-time greatest bands ever. I give you one of Canada's favorite sons and one of Toronto's pride and joy's, T-R-I-U-M-P-H! "NEVER SURRENDER" was originally released in 1983 on Vinyl/LP and Cassette on the MCA Records label. This legendary album would see its first print issue on Compact Disc in the mid 80's. As always, if I hear any new additional information concerning this legendary masterpiece album or the artist, I will edit this review immediately so that you the consumer will get the overall best informative and most accurate review possible.

TRIUMPH will forever go down in Rock n' Roll history and be remembered for writing and recording some of Rock's most sacred classic anthems ever. TRIUMPH will also be remembered for being one of the all-time greatest hard Rock trios / three-man bands ever. TRIUMPH would be formed and born in Toronto, Canada in 1975 comprising of vocalist/guitarist Rik Emmett, bassist/keyboardist Mike Levine and vocalist/drummer Gil Moore. With this new line-up, the stage would be set and TRIUMPH'S sole mission would not only be to set out to Rock and conquer their native country Canada, but to conquer the world. In 1982, at this point in the band's career, TRIUMPH was riding high and enjoying the many fruits and rewards that the good life had to offer. This all became possible due to the extreme success of the band's fifth and most recent album release that really struck gold and would forever put TRIUMPH on the Rock n' Roll map. The legendary masterpiece "ALLIED FORCES" album would be released in 1981 to highly critically acclaim and earn platinum status. All was well and going great in the TRIUMPH world and camp. With TRIUMPH riding high and living life on a happy note, the band was not about to rest on their laurels. The band felt that it would be the perfect time and opportunity to head back into the recording studio and record the new follow-up album to the extremely successful masterpiece "ALLIED FORCES" album. The band also realized the possibility that the new follow-up album may not top their legendary "ALLIED FORCES" album especially since they felt that "ALLIED FORCES" would be an extremely hard and difficult album to top. Which now brings me to the legendary album I'm about to review for all of you today. After a certain amount of time went by, TRIUMPH would emerge and come out of the recording studio with the completely finished acetate and would deliver the finished product to their record label and employer, MCA Records, Inc. MCA Records would soon release the product as the legendary masterpiece "NEVER SURRENDER" album in 1983. I truly feel that the "NEVER SURRENDER" album may not have topped the "ALLIED FORCES" album as the more superior ultimate album, but it was a great follow-up album in its own right that successfully picks up where "ALLIED FORCES" left off and should be compared as an equivalant to the "ALLIED FORCES" album. In my opinion, the "NEVER SURRENDER" album is without a doubt, a true testament of the sheer fully crafted genius and musical creativity of three extremely talented individuals that truly knew how to get down and Rock. The "NEVER SURRENDER" album is also a fine fitting tribute to a great legendary three-man band that was truly indeed, far ahead of their time.

It is now time to let the hard Rockin' music of TRIUMPH to speak for itself and back it up by doing all of the talking musically. The legendary masterpiece "NEVER SURRENDER" album, the band's sixth album release would begin with the a*s kicking hard Rocker "Too Much Thinking," the forever TRIUMPH trademark sound as evidently demonstrated here with the fast and beautiful mystical acoustic hard Rocker "A World Of Fantasy," the unbelievable forty-three second acoustic instrumental "A Minor Prelude," the merciless in your face hard Rocker "All The Way," the breathtaking hard Rocker with a message, "Battle Cry," the synthesized instrumental intro that also explodes into a hard Rocker, "Overture (Processional)," when the intro concludes, it would evolve into the forever TRIUMPH trademark sound as evidently demonstrated here with the groundbreaking hard Rocker with a personal message, "Never Surrender," the blistering a*s kicking hard Rocker "When The Lights Go Down," the incredibly powerful hard Rocker "Writing On The Wall" and the beautifully arranged instrumental featuring a magnificent guitar solo, "Epilogue." May I also add that the band was performing together in perfect harmony to their fullest potential at their highest level while laying down the tracks during the recording of this legendary album.

Overall, this is one great legendary masterpice album worth checking out and seeking further research and information into especially if you are a hardcore diehard TRIUMPH fan or a devout music collector. As for all of the curious newcomers and new beginners that are not quite familiar with the hard Rock music sound of TRIUMPH, the "NEVER SURRENDER" album along with the "ALLIED FORCES" album, may not be a bad place to start. However, you might want to research further into one of the many greatest hits compilation albums before you make your final decision as to which of the TRIUMPH album(s) is right for your musical needs and tastes. Either way you choose, you will have taken a giant step in owning and starting your very own TRIUMPH music collection. You can do all of your researching and purchases either on Amazon com or at your nearest local Borders Books and Music store. Buy this album, you'll be glad that you did.

I would like to highly recommend purchasing this great legendary masterpiece album to own as a valuable and important part of his or her own personal music collection. This treasure album has already proven to stand the test of time and will always be around to be enjoyed, appreciated and cherished for many years to come, NOW AND FOREVER. This is one great priceless gem that no hardcore music fan or devout music collector would want to be without.

In closing, the "NEVER SURRENDER album would be released in 1983 to highly critically acclaim. TRIUMPH would soon after, embark on a new World Tour in what would prove to be one of the band's greatest tours yet to date. Following the extreme success of the "NEVER SURRENDER" album, TRIUMPH would move on and record many more great albums in the many upcoming years that were yet to come. With that in mind, there would also prove to be many more new tales and stories in the TRIUMPH legend and legacy that would need to be told. But that, my fellow readers and reviewers, you will just have to stay tuned and read further more about it at a later date in the near future. TRIUMPH will forever leave their place and mark in Rock n' Roll history and will never be forgotten. Canada should be very proud of their band TRIUMPH. So here's to you Rik, Mike and Gil. Thanks for the great memories with hopefully many more still to come. Keep Persevering. Keep The Faith. And as the saying goes, "AND THE REST IS ROCK N' ROLL HISTORY," am I wrong? Thanks for reading my review and I truly hope that you have enjoyed reading it as much as I have truly enjoyed writing it for your reading pleasure. I also deeply hope that all of you will read all of my other reviews in the near future when time permits. TRIUMPH RULES! Long Live Rock n' Roll. Rock out always and take it easy. Forever In Rock, John L.

4 out of 5 stars CD as gift.......2007-02-13

Since I don't listen to this "genre" of music I cannot personally comment, but my daughter-in-law, whom it was for, is very pleased. One good thing I can say is that it was easy to find and I understand she had failed in a search without a computer.

5 out of 5 stars Stands with the alltime great hard rock albums.......2006-11-29

Triumph's Never Surerender is one of those sweet suprises that does not have a bad song all the way through and features three songs that rock right up there with anyone.

The first song "Too Much Thinking", just sizzles and gets you jacked up for the rest of the album.

"World of Fantasy" rates with any classic rock song of the era IMO.

"When the Lights Go Down" is another top hard rocking song.

I'm surprised these guys don't have more of a reputation cause all these songs are original, feature killer guitar work and loads of energy.

Those are the standouts for me, along with a cool ,bluesy, instrumental at the end "Epilogue", but every song is a good listen.

This is a great album, you'll be pleasantly suprised if you're just discovering these guys and you enjoy Van Halen and other hard rocking, guitar centric bands of the era.

5 out of 5 stars Simply GREAT!.......2006-09-14

I could go on and on about the band or the CD. There is so much to say about both. I wish they had much more airplay here in the U.S., but even so, I must say that they are in the top 5 bands in my collection of over 1000 CD's. If you love really great rock, not just top 40 stuff, you must have Triumph in your collection and Never Surrender is a MUST HAVE!. Get it and enjoy real rock as it should be! You can not go wrong with this CD!

5 out of 5 stars A worthy successor to Allied Forces.......2005-12-02

Canadian power trio Triumph released their long awaited followup album to their 1981 Platinum seller Allied Forces entitled Never Surrender in the Spring of 1983.
Many fans were wondering when first buying this album if the album would be as good or better than its predecessor as the massive sales of Allied Forces made the band work hard to come up with a superb followup to their Allied Forces album.
I go with the former as did many fans who helped push the album to #26 on the Billboard album chart and Gold status here in the States.
Never Surrender picked up where its predecessor left off.
The album features some of the band's best tracks like singer/guitarist Rik Emmett's massive hit single "A World of Fantasy" and the superb six and a half minute title cut.
Singer/drummer Gil Moore's best vocal performance on this album is on the hard rocker "When the Lights Go Down" which (at first) sounds like an acoustic blues song at first before rocking out.
Other standouts are the opening "Too Much Thinking" (which had samples of the late great President Ronald Reagan at the intro of the track), the rock radio hit "All the Way" and of course Moore's hard rocker "Battle Cry".
The three instrumentals (the classical guitar intro "A Minor Prelude", the powerful second half starter "Overture (Procession)" and the closing electric guitar and classical guitar solo piece "Epilogue (Resolution)") and the rocking "Writing on the Wall" are also great songs as well.
Despite the success of Never Surrender, RCA picked a fight with Triumph and the band fled the label after this album and signed to MCA which was run by Eagles manager Irving Azoff at the time and switched the ownership of the band's music from RCA to MCA (Azoff paid RCA for the band's master tapes and would eventually revert the rights over to Triumph) and then in 1995 to Triumph's own label TRC (now known as TML whom re-mastered the album and re-released it in 2004).
Rock bands should not be on RCA as they tended to be cheated and mistreated(Styx, Triumph, The Kinks and David Bowie).
Highly recommended!

5 out of 5 stars Arguably "The Best" English "Merry Widow ".......2006-09-12

This is the "Merry Widow" with English translation by Christopher Hassel sung by June Bronhill. I loved this rendition ever since I first heard it in about 1960. What's to love? First the translation is the best I've heard. The language doesn't sound "stilted" as some others. And, you can understand almost every word sung. Plus, the famous song, "Vilja" has some wording that moves me every time I hear it: The soprano sings, "Love me and I'll DIE for you!" with the word "die" somewhat emphasized. I don't know, there's just something "powerful" about someone saying they'd "die" for love! AND, at the end of "Vilja" the chorus and soprano raise to a crescendo hitting a high note together. In many renditions the chorus is heard but not the soprano on the final high note. In THIS version, the soprano, June Bronhill, can be heard rising to the final high note with an incressing crescendo and fortissimo louder than the chorus and holding the final high note---which gives a very thrilling effect as she holds that final note, I assure you!

The "problem" is that this June Bronhill, Reid, and Hassel version is hard to find on CD. For example, this CD is made in Holland and "there is one left" so it says on Amazon. But, if you can find it, I think it would be very much worth a listen. Then, after hearing it, if you think there's a "better" Merry Widow, please let ME know! Thanks. Email:boland7214@aol.

5 out of 5 stars "performances light up the heavens ~ Crouch End Festival Chorus".......2005-06-25

This reissue originally released in 1997 was on the top American Billboard Charts, ranked number #13...dramantic in every respect "CINEMA CHORAL CLASSICS", featuring the CROUCH END FESTIVAL CHORUS and their leader David Temple (Choir Master), world renown with a strong reputation for hitting the mark everytime...for additional listening pleasure THE CITY OF PRAGUE PHILHARMONIC, conducted by Paul Bateman, Kenneth Alwyn and as always Nic Raine these gentleman are the icing on the cake...for additional listening pleasure we have the classical favorite "CARMINA BURANA"(1981-Carl Orff), the dark tale of Camelot...now that's just for openers.

Silva Screen Records takes us on a journey of adventure "CONAN:THE BARBARIAN"(1981-Basil Poledouris), with Arnold Schwarzenegger and resounding singers with brilliant orchestration...then we have two selections from "THE MISSION"(1986-Enno Morricone), beautiful choir blends emotion, enhanced by haunting themes and counter melodies..."THE LION IN WINTER"(1988-John Barry), a favorite among Barry fans, this arrangement and rendition has it all...next we travel with helmet in hand(with horns included) with "THE VIKINGS"(1959-Mario Nascimbene), if it's action you crave, then this Kirk Douglas epic is a real winner, but Nascimbene's score adds color and breaths life into this tale of the Viking God "Odin"...another remake leaps to the screen with "HENRY V"(1989-Patrick Doyle), one can only marvel at Kenneth Branagh's Shakespeare film, but the music from a solo to full choir gives you goose bumps...the CD is excellent, recorded in Dolby Surround sound is completely mesmerizing and outstanding...orchestration, every intstument, every voice, crystal clear...for all the "film-score-buffs", do not pass this one up...needs to be in your every growing collection (nuff said)...gotta love it!

Hats off to Kenneth Alwyn, Paul Bateman and Nic Raine conducting the world renown CITY OF PRAGUE PHILHARMONIC ORCHESTRA...plus James Fitzpatrick(album producer)...Reynold da silva(executive producer)...and a special thanks to David Temple(Choir Master) and our favorite-dynamic choir that made all of this possible...THE CROUCH END FESTIVAL CHORUS!

    Album Description

    Hailing from Indiana, SAINTS NEVER SURRENDER have been consistently making a name for themselves throughout the Midwest and beyond. Having self-released their debut EP, the band caught the attention of Blood & Ink Records, who will be releasing their first full length, "Hope For The Best But Prepare For The Worst". Reminiscent of late '90s hardcore that had metallic influences without being straight-up "metalcore", SAINTS NEVER SURRENDER's music returns something too long gone in today's scene. Matching that with passionate, thought-provoking lyrics, these guys seem unstoppable.

    Customer Reviews:

    5 out of 5 stars Beautiful!.......2007-05-15

    This album is by far one of the best albums to ever be released on Blood and Ink records, and that's saying quite a bit with xLooking Forwardx having been released on the label as well as older NIV.

    The conviction and passion displayed on "Hope for the best, Prepare for the worst" is enough to moralize any human being. Tony Biard's lyrics are flawless and motivating, "We'll build this up, just to tear each other down, without compassion, we will never succeed". (Track 2 "Reggie at the buzzer") As well, on the song "Inspiration" "Why would you reach for a fool like me? For so long you've been my rock, my strength, my shelter, holding me up when everyone wanted me to fail, without you, I am nothing. I am nothing without you. Actions speak, louder than words. I'm trying to focus all i am upon everything you've ever done for me and all those times that you have carried me though the past and through this darkness allowing me to grow on my own. You're my inspiration I am amazed at everything you have done."

    It almost reads as though the lyrics were written in a letter to someone close to Tony (Vocals). All in all, this album is so far one of the best albums I have picked up in 2007. We're half way through the year, could this be a contender for a top 10 of 2007? We're only hoping.

      4 out of 5 stars Porcell Sounds Amazing!!!.......2005-02-22

      In case you didn't know, the singer of this band is Porcell from Youth of Today/Shelter. The music is fast and brutal. Not youth crew, not metal, just fast and hard. His voice sounds great, especially on the Blitz cover which of course is "Never Surrender."

      Amazon.com

      The exploits of Ian Fleming's British super-agent James Bond have long since become the longest running film series in history, spanning 40 years and counting. Not the least of the cycle's charm has been its music, a body of work that encompasses pop clichés (the twangy guitar of Monty Norman's original "James Bond Theme") and elegant underscores alike. While this collection spans music from Dr. No to The World Is Not Enough, decades of various legal entanglements prevented it from becoming the ultimate Bond music anthology. This is more a credible simulation, a newly recorded collection of cues and suites (including music previously unreleased on the original soundtracks) performed by Nic Raine and the City of Prague Symphony Orchestra. With John Barry's lush, ever-evocative scores both forming the core and setting the tone (but also featuring the work of George Martin, David Arnold, Michael Kamen, Bill Conti, and Eric Serra), it's the most comprehensive--if not exactly authentic--collection of Bond music yet attempted. --Jerry McCulley

      4 out of 5 stars almost the perfect James Bond collection.......2005-07-20

      this 4 CD box has most of the familiar James Bond compositions.

      Still,some tunes are missing(from for instance Thunderball and For Your Eyes Only)and most of the time the attention is on the instrumental version of the title track which is a bit of a shame.And yet,there are too many great pieces on this collection to make it a failure.Alpine Drive,Dawn Raid at Fort Knox,On Her Majesty's Secret Service(every track),Miss Goodhead and so on.All great pieces that not only show the great talent of John Barry but also the great power of James Bond films.Cause when you hear the music,you see the scenes in front of you.

      Very much a recommendation to all Bond and Barry fans although sometimes it focusses too much on title songs.The only solution is to buy all separate soundtracks.

      5 out of 5 stars Good Collection.......2005-02-24

      Very nice packaging and good tracks from the Bond music library make this an anoutstanding item. "From Russia With Love" and "Diamonds Are Forever" contain beautiful and energetic renditions. The John Barry music is handled quite well. I didn't real care for the David Arnold selections. "The World Is Not Enough" was weak. Overall it is a good collection just the same.

      3 out of 5 stars Not excatly what I expected.......2003-04-10

      I when I read some of the reviews of this I thought that this was a complete collection of all the originals of the Theme songs of every James Bond movie and remakes done by the Prague Philharmonic of some of the other songs in the various movies. After recieveing this ... I started to listen to it and found out that it was all done by the orchestra. The are very good, but to a point it is not the same thing as owning a disc will all the orignal songs on it. Overall, this good if all the you want is the orchestral versions of most of the songs in the movies or the suites out of some of the movies. To a point these don't compare to the orignals. Keep looking if you want a set with all the orignals songs in it.

      4 out of 5 stars The James Bond CD for the John Barry purist?.......2003-01-28

      Let's cut to the chase. Nic Raine and the City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra do John Barry's work justice. 90% of this collection is as close as you can get to the original James Bond soundtracks. The other 10% lends itself to some artistic license with respect to the arrangements. Most notable is the main theme to Goldfinger. Also Nic slips in a few previously unreleased tracks. You will find these on the On Her Majesty's Secret Service and Golden Eye tracks. This CD boxed set is definitely made for the Bond soundtrack fan. The die hard John Barry "purist"/ traditionalist may find some of these tracks questionable at first, but after a few times Nic Raine's artistic license gives a fresh perspective to the familiar Bond/ Barry themes. The only reservation I have with this CD set is with some of selections that are performed. For instance, from Goldfinger, "Dawn Raid At Fort Knox" was a poor selection considering the selection available on that particular soundtrack. The most famous 007 soundtrack of all I dare say. Overall Nic hits the mark, and this CD set is a tribute to Barry's (as well as, George Martin's, Marvin Hamlish's, and Bill Conti's and David Arnold's) work. It's all here in one collection. I am a die-hard Bond soundtrack fan, and to the casual soundtrack fan I say this CD is set all you need to experience the Bond music legacy. To those who are hard core 007 soundtrack fans ...this is a FANTASTIC "addition" to your collection. This has to be the BEST (and probably the only) 007 "soundtrack" compilation. Whereas all the others feature the "main themes" from the Bond films as originally recorded, this one truly gives you the Bond experience.

      3 out of 5 stars Very enjoyable with most of the BOND music you'd want........2002-12-08

      This is similar but more comprehensive than another BOND collection on one CD by the City of Prague Philharmonic. These are good renditions but clearly not the orginals. I must ask if the Prague Philharmonic does not own a harp? It is glaringly missing in the Goldfinger themes and i am sure on others. That harp is an exciting and beautiful touch to the wonderful GOLDFINGER theme and its absents is unfortuneatly very noticeable. Also some of the other themes can even sound muzaky if thats a word(elevator music)
      It gets 3 solid stars good collection yet defineatly something is lacking.

      5 out of 5 stars Absolute 80's.......2002-06-11

      Nearly all AOR fans agree that the sound which is captured in 80's is heavenly and the best. Greatest AOR albums came and dissapered in that decade and now not a day goes by without the re release of hidden gems and forgotten deletes from those glorious years. Bands these days try very hard to re capture this sound but success is unfortunately not achieved in general terms.
      Absolute Zero however does it without sweating too much. Just take a look at he guys photo. Do they look like that they belong to millenium or even the 90's? not a chance.It is released in 2000 but feels like we are in goddamn mid 80's after listening this remarkable musical experience. Some songs have the Toto 4 attitude (but just the attitude)and generally it is an energetic AOR album with heavenly guitars and keyboards.
      Album opens with Never surrender a good track to start with. All songs are great but I personally like Jaimee and Stranded as the best tracks in the album.
      Never surrender is an album that injects you massive doses of positive energy, joy and strenght to face the world. An excellent summer album with excellent songs, melodies and musicianship. Only problem is the album cover that seems to be out of place and does not suit the band's feel good attitude.
      These days, it is really hard to find bands like Absolute zero with that sound. They are miles better than all the new euro melodick rock acts. So have a go with that album. Im positively sure that you wont be dissapointed.
