The track listing reads like a who's who of the nu-metal genre, with brand-new songs from chart toppers including Godsmack, Creed, and Nickelback. Especially strong are System of a Down's orchestrated-meets-intense "Streamline," Sevendust's fervent and unique "Corrected," and Nickelback's raucous, edgy, raw rocker "Yanking Out My Heart," while Creed's typically musically morose five-minute ballad "To Whom It May Concern" will certainly delight fans. New band 12 Stones show promise with their straightahead, guitar-heavy "My Life," while Flaw's layered, soaring, and mesmerizing "Only the Strong" sounds hit-bound, as does Injected's vibrant "Burn It Black." As with Godsmack, Mushroomhead's contribution was penned specially for the movie, the suitably "soundtracky" audio track "turned down" to suit the onscreen action. If the flick--the third of the Mummy series--fades from memory quickly, its musical accompaniment is well equipped to stand the test of time. --Katherine Turman

not my kind of music.......2007-07-05

I got this soundtrack when i bought a used copy of the scorpion king dvd, as it came with the dvd. Now, in the movie, these songs work, it's a perfect fit for the action on-screen. However, as stand alone songs, they jut come off as loud and noisy, not really songs as much as people screaming. But if you like this type of music, i suppose it's a good mix of bands, just not really for me.

Can't Get Enough!!.......2007-06-17

I bought this cd after seeing the movie. IT'S DA BOMB! a great combo of hard rock a new age stuff. my top 4 songs are:
1."I stand alone"-godsmack-heavy guitar and great vocals by sulley!
2."ironhead"-Ozzy O. and R. Zombie- freaky but cool. neat new vocals and good effects
3."Glow"-coal chamber-i'd never heard of this group before and didn't know what 2 expect. it has harsh vocals{in a good way} and cool guitar
4."yankin out my heart"-Nickelback-to this day i still love nickelback, this song is fast-paced fantastic music.
Note:i lost my first copy of this cd. i loved it so much i went here and bought it again. if u don't like this album your just weird!!

my personal perfect compilation.......2006-07-27

For every great movie, there has to be a great soundtrack, right? Well, this is one movie that proves to not be the exception to the rule, to the delight of musiclovers everywhere. Here are my opinions on the individual tracks:

1. I Stand Alone - Godsmack- My favorite song off the soundtrack and my favorite from Godsmack- hell, one of my favorite songs of alltime. There are some songs on this particular soundtrack that were just perfect for the soundtrack, and this is one of them. Godsmack recorded this song exclusively for this compilation, but the response to the track was so strong, they recorded it and put it as their first single from their 2003 album Faceless. Perfect song in every way.
2. Set It Off (Tweaker Remix) - P.O.D.: Another awesome song, this one remixed from Set It Off, from their Satellite CD. Cool beats and it's got Sonny Sandoval, so you can't really go wrong with it.
3. Streamline - System Of A Down: Loved System of a Down on here. Another good song for the ST.
4. To Whom It May Concern - Creed: I love Creed! And this song, from their Human Clay CD. Sweet song.
5. Yanking Out My Heart - Nickelback: Another song recorded specifically for this soundtrack, Nickelback really puts out a good time on this song and it really shows in one of the best songs on the CD.
6. Losing My Grip - Hoobastank: Not one of the best songs, but still pretty good.
7. Only The Strong - Flaw: don't know why, but I really didn't like this song that much. Never heard of Flaw before this CD and it really didn't give me that much reason to check them out more...
8. Iron Head - Rob Zombie feat. Ozzy Osbourne: A perfect combination (although not as good as Rob Zombie and Drowning Pool from the Daredevil soundtrack) and one of my favorites.
9. My Life - 12 Stones: I LOVE 12 STONES!! I am a huge fan of all their music, esp. this one, from their 2001 debut CD. This is my second favorite on here.
10. Along The Way - Mushroomhead: Not bad, but not the best.
11. Breathless - Lifer: Meh. Not bad,
12. Corrected - Sevendust: Sweet song.
13. Burn It Black - Injected: Pretty good for a band I've never heard of before this.
14. 27 - Breaking Point: Another decent compilation for this CD.
15. Glow - Coal Chamber: Here is a really good track. My third favorite.

If only I could get you to see the awesomeness of I Stand Alone... oh well. Happy rocking, everyone.

Suprisingly Great soundtrack.......2006-06-14

1. I stand alone- Godsmack

A hard, strong begining track. I like it heavy vocals, very fitting for the movie

2. Set it off- P.O.D

a awesome mixture of rap and nu-metal one of my favorites on the CD, i always loved this band

3. Break You- Drowning Pool

I like the begining of the song but it slowly gets more annyoing and annoying but overall is allright

4. Streamline- System of a Down

I love SOAD I really do and the Toxicity album is one of my favorite albums EVER made. I like this song but there is a lot better songs by SOAD so I dont know why they chose this one its ok.

5. To whom it may concern- Creed

I like creed but this song didnt seem to fit, i think it was a little to slow im not sure, it wasnt horrible but not great.

6. Yanking Out My Heart - Nickelback

I like Nickelback and i wont complain this is a good song starts fast and stays that way till the end

7. Losing My Grip - Hoobastank

Great song, i like the vocals but when the instuments come in its awesome

8. Only The Strong - Flaw

Another one of my favorites on the CD. a nice mix of rock, alternitive and metal

9. Iron Head - Rob Zombie feat. Ozzy Osbourne

I like ozzy because and rob zombie and together they rock, this song is a little on the freaky side but i like it.

10. My Life - 12 Stones

a great song, awesome 'nuff said

11. Along The Way - Mushroomhead

I am a huge mushroomhead fan, when i saw this was on there i bought it, and let me tell u its a awesome song, no one is really like them its just a awesome song

12. Breathless - Lifer

starts cool and just gets better and better

13. Corrected - Sevendust

I could live without it so/so not the best yet not the worst

14. Burn it black - Injected

Sweet verses, awesome Chorus, great song cant skip it

15. 27 - Breaking point

Reminds me of the hoobastank but this one is a little better all though the werid verses kind of hurts it a little

16. Glow - Coal Chamber

I like coal chamber, they could have chosen a better song but I like this song still gets right to the point!

Burn it Black...more like Gold.......2006-02-18

This soundtrack hits all the right notes and smashing through all the right walls if you get my drift. From open to close it's brilliant. With new tracks penned for the film by Godsmack, Mushroomhead and System of a Down this is one album that is sure to please. "I STAND ALONE" is a great way to open, and the video is a great one at that. POD is always lacking in my book but the introduction of the newly reformed Drowning Pool elicits appreciation as does Systems melodicly challenged masterpiece "STEAMLINE"...and by melodically challenged I mean that it doesnt know what it wants to be (but thats how it is with Systems stuff and it works) Creed slow things down and then hand things off the Nickelback who run with it turning out great rock with a southern feel. They truly are Country's answer to rock and roll. Hoobastank do alright, not my favorite band but not a bad selection, while Flaw rip things apart with "ONLY THE STRONG". It's such a shame this band fell apart because they were one heck of a kick @$$ band. "IRON HEAD" is a great heavy track from none other than Satan himself (oh wait, which one is Satan again?) Rob Zombie and Ozzy. 12 Stones were welcomed to the stage with "MY LIFE" which has promise...to bad they never lived up to the promise...Mushroomhead is always good for something and Lifer, winners of MTV's Battle of the Band turn out a really awsome track "BREATHLESS"...it's just too bad their debut CD bombed bad...Sevendust turn out a unique rocker in "CORRECTED" and prove they are still in the game. Injected, a band I've never heard before, give one awsome standout track in "BURN IT BLACK" while Breaking Points "27" fails to dissapoint (thats a good thing)...The closer "GLOW" by Coal Chamber, while not terrible, failed to excite me about the release of Coal Chambers upcoming CD "Dark Days" and while I purchased the CD anyway, this song is still not one of my favorites...but it does have that middle-eastern vibe to the riff and so it fits well to the feel of the movie I guess. All in all this is one Soundtrack that needs to me in your collection!

The king of action music.......2003-01-11

After the successful scores of The Mummy by Jerry Goldsmith and The Mummy Returns by Alan Silvestri, John Debney was hired to score the Mummy prequel - The Scorpion King. This score is just as good as the other two and in some places, even better. Debney gives a swashbuckling, action-adventurous score with a good combination of epic orchestral works and hard rock. "Boo", the opening track, is a hard rock track with plenty of electric guitars and drums with a hint of the main theme thrown in there. "Main Titles" feature a large choir with bold brass and lots of percussion. This is the Cutthroat Island sound that Debney masters successfully. The main theme is a 6 note motif played on strings and powerful brass and is heard in several of the tracks in the score. Some softer and more laid back moments in the score can be found in "Vision of Doom", "I Had A Vision", and "The Scorpion King". But, action music is the highlight of this score and that is what makes the music excel. Parts of "Pickpockets" and "Valley of the Dead" contain racing action music that really gets the heart pumping. The next 2 tracks build up to "Balthazar's Camp" which is an orchestral race. The real solid action music is found in "I've Come For The Woman", "Die Well Assassin", and "Balthazar Arrives" which is nonstop and difficult action music that must wear the orchestra out with driving percussion, meaty brass, frantic strings, and an explosive choir. The final track, "The Scorpion King", ends the score with a full orchestral performance of the main theme. This is a knockout action music score that fans of action music will really enjoy. I seriously recommend it to anyone that likes action music.

Scorpion King Rocks!.......2002-08-31

When "The Scorpion King" was in production, I was hoping for either Jerry Goldsmith or Alan Silvestri to return, as they had made two wonderfull scores for both the first "Mummy" movies.
But none of them would. I was amazed when I heard it - Cutthroat Island`s own John Debney would write the music for the third installment of the series. When I heard that, I knew immidiatley that he would create something that surpassed both of the first scores. And yes, indeed, his score for "The Scorpion King" is a very fine way to finish an incredible trilogy of soundtracks, each one with a spirit of its own. I was worried when I saw the film. It wasn`t announced that this album would even be released until weeks after the film came out. Then, there was only a various artists album available. But fortunatley, they decided to release the original score too, and I can`t bless Varèse Sarabande enough for doing that. "The Scorpion King" offers about 35 minutes of pure, energetic action music and five minutes of calm, beautifull music. John Debney does something which I find very fun - he uses some rock guitars, may be to illustrate the raw power of the great warrior Mathayus (aka The Scorpion King). The opening track, "Boo!" is horrible, but don`t let that scare you off. "The Scorpion King" is mostly an orchestral score, and even the die-hard orchestral score fans will find treat here. Most of the heavy electric guitar parts are at the beginning, so if you don`t like that, then just start listening from track 4. But sometimes, those rock guitars work quite well, when they are not too loud - both "Mathayus Arises" and "Balthazar Arrives" are highlighted by two bars of electric guitars. And if anyone says that "The Scorpion King" is themeless, they are wrong. In fact, it has a theme that appears a lot on this CD. It is a strong, heroic theme, heard very clearly in "Valley of The Dead", which is a striking, choral action cue, and also "Mathayus Arises" which is so heroic I sometimes even want to cry when listening to it.
"Die Well Assasin" is some of the most powerfull climax music I've ever heard. "Balthazar Arrives" is also a highlight, with a lot of tribal chants combined with rock guitars and a massive choir. And the grand finale, "The Scorpion King" closes the score with a Stargate-like majesty, with the main theme heard in it`s full glory with the whole orchestra and chorus in one. It is a very enjoyable track and except for may be "Star Wars", it is the greatest finale I've heard in the year 2002.
Over all, "The Scorpion King" is a superb score. Only a stronger and more memorable theme puts this album off a top star rating.
I think that the exactly 40 minutes of music is a suitable length for this album - if it would have been longer, it would have been too repeatable, but it isn`t. In fact, this is the best score of the series, and when making scores for such films, John Debney clearly shows which genre he belongs too. Great performance by the Hollywood Studio Symphony Orchestra and Chorus is another plus for this album. KNOCKOUT!

Scorpion rock.......2002-06-24

This is work by John Debney. He tried to make this an epic score, like Conan, but also wanted to make it appealing to todays audience by making it rocked up. I think Debney achieved both. This score should have been released instead of that stupide inspired by soundtrack, which was a marketing gimmick, much like they did with Spiderman. How does it match with the other Mummy movies. I think the first score to the Mummy was the best, than the Mummy Returns and then this. Other all it is a great job. It's short at about 40 minutes, which can be due to the cost of having to pay the American players of the Hollywood symphony.
