Editorial Reviews

Hatebreed's unrepentant heaviness puts other Ozzfest alumni to shame. The Connecticut-bred quintet combine elements of old-school hardcore with death-metal intensity for a metal-core sound that, with melodic guitar moments and double-kick drums, finds them equally suited for tours with Entombed and Danzig. On Perseverance, Hatebreed's major-label debut, the underground favorites have not sacrificed any musical or lyrical principles--or any aggression--turning in 16 tracks of unrelenting force, with most tunes clocking in at under three minutes. In "You're Never Alone," vocalist Jamey Jasta cuts to the chase in engaging his audience. "This is for the kids who have nowhere to turn, who have nothing to live for," he barks, encouraging fans to use "hatred to do the right thing." Especially anthemic is the shout-along "I Will Be Heard," while the speedy punk-mosh mania of "We Still Fight" is enough to raise blood pressures. If Slayer and Pantera are your idea of ear candy, Perseverance is just what the doctor ordered. --Katherine Turman

Get a copy while you can!!!.......2007-08-02

There isn't really much to be said about this soundtrack. If you've seen the movie, then you know how awesome the tracks are for this album. This album contains EVERY SINGLE track used in the movie including a bonus instrumental version of "Steal the Night" by Michael Bishop. This soundtrack contains the REAL AUTHENTIC scores from the movie! As some of you may or may not know, THE ORIGINAL SOUNDTRACK RELEASE FROM THE 80s (which also costs over $100) DOES NOT, I repeat, DOES NOT CONTAIN THE ORIGINAL SCORES FROM THE MOVIE (i.e. "Fight to Survive", "On My Own"). It also DOESN'T HAVE ALL THE SCORES FROM THE MOVIE (i.e. "Steal the Night"). So why bother with it? Get this version. IT'S CHEAPER, YOU WILL BE GETTING ALL OF THE REAL MUSIC FROM THE MOVIE, and well, if you're a fan of the movie it'll be well worth your dollar. Get it now! I heard it was only released in limited quantities!

Track Listing:

1. "Steal the Night" - Michael Bishop
2. Kumite
3. Captain
4. Flashback Montage
flashback/martial science/father and son/training/tree and sword
5. In Hong Kong
6. The Walled City

10. "Fight to Survive" - Stan Bush
11. Morning After
12. Second Day

14. Jackson Falls
15. "On My Own" - Stan Bush

18. Chong Li Kills
19. Preparation
20. Finals

21. "Fight to Survive" (end title) - Stan Bush
22. "Steal the Night" (instrumental version)

Great Soundtrack!.......2007-07-26

I agree with the above guy in that it's an awesome soundtrack. I'm looking at the front and back cover right now, they look fine. The front is hard not to laugh at actually, it's a funny shot from the movie. It would probably make a sick poster.

Customer Reviews:

My first metal album.......2007-06-22

Thank god I picked this one up 2 years ago. If I had picked up a slipknot album instead, I don't think I would have ever gotten into metal. As it is, this happens to be one of the best metal albums ever released, and I was able to appreciate it because I was a prog rock fan before this. This album is responsible for helping me change from a hippie to a metal-hippie. With the strong role this played in my becoming a metalhead, after months of playing this album sometimes daily, sometimes weekly, I got tired of it and moved on to other death album and eventually on to black metal and then back to death metal. A year ago I listened to this again, and I purchased painkiller by judas priest based on the awesome cover, and then I got into old school metal. This album helped me get into 2 different types of metal. Then today, I pulled it out, and I noticed something, polyrhythms. Since I have been learning drums recently, I was really impressed and now I am a richard christy fan as well as a chuck fan.

Since the mere fact that this album changed my life might not be enough to convince you, let me elaborate on the music a little. This album is not like other death albums. Chuck uses a higher pitched voiced voice which kind of reminded me of a pirate somehow. I think it has more to do with his singing accent. THe singing is amazing, and I can't believe some people hate this album because of the singing. He is articulate but incredibly intense and aggresive. If you only like death grunts a la suffocation, then you are too close minded for this album. The rhythms are rather angular. I already mentioned the subtle polyrythms in the drumming, but beyond that, the guitar rhythms are jerky. This combines to make it seem almost funky, but not really. The guitar combined with the drums makes a spectacular rhythm section. On top of that, Chuck adds melodies on the guitar and some very twisted harmonies. The style of this seems unprecedented to me, but then again I haven't heard all the metal in the world. The guitar solos are all absolutly fantastic. It is just Chuck this time, but if if he had brought back Paul Masvidal from Human, I suspect he wouldn't be outshined this time like on he was on human, because chuck really pours his soul into the solos. At the end of the album is the best work death has ever done. Painkiller is an amazing cover, however the original was actually better in my opinion. But the solo in the song is extended and I slightly prefer it to the Priest solo, which was also amazing. The stuff I was considering death's best work is the three songs before that.

I would not advise against this being your first death album like many of the other reviewers, since it was mine and I loved it. This album is absolutly essential for anyone who considers himself a true metalhead. Symbolic and Human are also essential albums by this band.

Death's finest hour.......2007-06-16

I finally got around to buying this disc. In my opinion, Death's best release. Chuck was totally on top of his game, and this was my favorite lineup of the band. Tragic loss and a great talent was taken from us too soon. Anyway- if you are a fan of this genre, definitely pick up this disc.

...........2007-05-13

well there's no talk about the album coz it's a great album indeed but what i wanna talk about is the item itself,the only thing that annoys me is the cover...coz why it has to be in a big frame so the cover got smaller....besides i didn't order that version although it wasn't bad...the dvd is kinda useless coz the quality of the live is bad and apparentely it was taken from a video tape..and it has a lot of cuts

This one has entered my dreams people.......2007-05-01

Yep, I dream about the tunes on this CD. Absolutely a ridiculiously great CD start to finish. I would agree with most here that it does take time to "digest" this but once you do the rewards are great. I love this CD and its definately one of the best metal CDs you will ever run across. Pure genius.

Excellent........2007-01-07

Not being much of a death metal fan, I was suprised at how much I adored this album. There are generally things I appreciate about many technical and progressive Death metal bands (IE Necrophagist), such as the muscianship and talent that they have, but the vocals are rarely one of them. Strangely, The Sound Of Perseverance is different. I actually think Chucks vocals add significantly to the album. They sound great. Five stars and definitely a must have.

really good stuff.......2007-07-17

i really liked this album along with satisfaction so dont think that i am bashing it...but the problem is jamey jasta sings all the songs in the exact same tone, key whatever you call it or yells them i should say, which is fine, but all of the songs sound VERY similiar. the album (to me) quickly grew repetitous as i felt like i was listening to one very long song (the entire album). if i were new to this band i would start out with "satisfaction is the death of desire." on satisfaction the songs are yelled in the same way but the beats, etc are noticably different and better for that matter (at least to me). BUT STILL dont pass on this one either!

Good metalcore, but that isn't saying much.......2007-07-13

I don't like metalcore, I think it's _________ metal that is watered down, boring, and sounds the same, yet I think Hatebreed stand out in some way. This isn't a classic cd, Hatebreed aren't a classic band in the metal genre, and Hatebreed suffers from numerous metalcore traits at tiems, but nevertheless, Preserverance is a good album, whatever the circumstance is.

If there is any problems with Hatebreed, there songs can sometimes sound simlar; it can be difficult sitting through Preserverance. It's not as technical or entertaining as death metal either. It's not exactly brutal and scary either, although it's loud and aggressive. Lastly, the musicianship isn't great, but most hardcore dosen't rely on awesome riffs like this. It's still better than Slipknot, then again, what band isn't?

Now that I got the bad parts out of the way, it's miles better than Skipknot or any other nu-metal or metalcore band ever. Even though it sounds the same at times, it's still good, and the positive message I like. A Call for Blood is the only reason Preserverance has a Parental Advisory label. Hatebreed also is good because it's music. In a sense, that means Jamey Jasta takes on what's on his mind and puts it into music. It's not heavy or brutal, I've heard stuff that makes this like hard rock, but it's decent.

IT's not great, but as far as metalcore goes (which sucks as a genre), it's a keeper. That isn't saying much.

7.0/10

Good stuff here.......2007-03-13

I only found Hatebreed a couple years ago.. perfect new metal band to listen to while I wait for Metallica to pull their heads out of their... well, you get it. You won't hear your girlfriend playing this in her Jetta, that's for sure. If there was ever perfect workout music, this is it.

A lesson in metallic hardcore.......2006-08-22

If there is one thing that most people don't understand about hardcore, it's the role of musicianship in the genre. The only important aspects in hardcore are the messages, the conviction of the band, and the band's integrity. Hardcore remains more relavant than ever because so many people see that this music leaves no room for posturing and bull. It's a genre in which the message and delivery are just as important as the competence of it's musicians (Mike Judge couldn't play drums to save his life, and no one ever accused Minor Threat of musical prowess, but each are legendary for their level of intensity and conviction).

In the case of Hatebreed's "Perseverance", the message is clear: These guys are angrily confident. Jamey Jasta's conviction is it's clearest ever on this disc, as he forcefully twists his hatred into hope for conquering his demons. It's a unique thing for a band to incite unbelievable anger and undeniable self-confidence in the same album. Not many albums offer the venom and the antidote. The music is hammering and heavy, as heavy as any hardcore album can get. The band can play blistering hardcore as well as anyone else, but once again, the message is what makes you mosh.

As Many IQ Points as notes.......2006-08-15

There is nothing remotely heavy and/or musical about this band. Every song uses the same three powerchords, the same drum lines, the same taking-a-dump vocal histrionics, the same lyrics of no substance and one subject.
Do yourselves a favor and find something actually artistically worthy of the intelligent mind, and don't be fooled into thinking that this is heavy in any non-primitive way.

The Most excellent soundtrack.............2007-06-12

I have to say its one of my favorite movies of all time with the legend himself Vincent Price. Great sound track, great movie. I give the movie 2 thumbs up.

something's missing.......2007-03-08

Yes, Kirchin 's music is very good but we do miss all the rest that was used in the film, particularly the themes played by the mysterious "Big Three", the songs etc...
So the intention behind was to do justice to the composer -Basil Kirchin- whose been a bit betrayed by the film's production as I understand, but then as a listener I miss the more "popular" music that was used and that is part of the general atmosphere in that beautiful film.

Poor Quality Recordings.......2007-02-09

I wish I had known that this was an "archival" release, meaning most of the music comes directly off the soundtrack from the movie (even including some of the sound effects). The quality is not what I had expected. I really can't stand to listen to it. Still love the film, though.

I "SAW" Dr. Phibes and wanted more.......2006-12-04

A classic B-movie with several cameo's from well-known stars of the past.

If you like the SAW series of movies, you may find this movie stimulating.

Vincent Price (scarey movie pioneer) plays our hero, Dr. Phibes, who is mourning the fatal operation on his departed wife. Dr. Phibes pays his medical bill to the 9 operating doctors and nurses by taking pages from the bible.

Surprise surprise bad things happen.

Enjoy this movie classic.

Angela Hewitt is best known for her excellent Bach recordings, but in her less-comprehensive series of Couperin's works written for the harpsichord she matches that high standard. Fans of the French Baroque will know this music and may need to adjust to the sound of the piano. But the open-minded will be captivated by her buoyant playing and by her refusal to imitate the harpsichord. Instead, she brings the resources of the modern concert grand to bear on these stylized scores--"authenticity" becomes irrelevant to the immense pleasure generated. Hewitt's ornamentation is stylishly convincing, as is her wit, attention to detail, and beautiful tonal production. She plays all of the Treizième Ordre and a generous selection of pieces from Couperin's other works, focusing on those she believes work best on the piano. The captivating result makes one sorry that, as she writes in her lucid notes, this will be the last of her Couperin series. Hyperion's vibrant sound does full justice to Hewitt's colorful playing. -- Dan Davis

Customer Reviews:

Endlessly delightful.......2006-03-05

While I agree that these selections do not match the grandeur of Hewitt's previous recording, they do exude as much -- if not more -- charm and elegance as ever before. Hewitt's playing is nimble, delicate, lucid, and heartfelt. Amazingly coupled with the grace and fluidity of the performances is a captivating touchingness and melancholy. The only disappointment for me is that this is the end of the cycle. Would that there were more!!

More French Baroque music on piano.......2005-12-02

With this third volume, Angela Hewitt concludes her survey of Couperin's major keyboard music and proves that, in the hands of someone as steeped in Baroque keyboard style as herself, music which was previously thought the exclusive domain of the harpsichordist can be fully expressed on modern piano to great effect. So how does this third and last CD compare? In Volume I, we had mostly Couperin's earlier works of great granduer, inventiveness, pure charm and full of sunny, dancing melodies. Then in Volume II (the late works) the landscape darkened a bit with Couperin's most personal expressions of touching poignancy and deep melancholy. Volume III here is a mixture of these moods and showcases the imaginative 13th Ordre with its creative mimicking of twelve characters from a masked ball (of the era of Louis XIV) along with several wonderfully ponderous pieces in true Couperin poetry.

Not only is Hewitt's survey of Couperin's music here rather ground-breaking (given few if any recordings done on the piano for them), but it also sets a high standard. Hewitt's gingerly touch, knack for dance rhythms and poetic depth are well-suited to Couperin's graceful, inventive and sadness-tinged music. Right from the rhythmic opening movement and its "tripping" theme, Miss Hewitt sets a delightful and confident attitide towards this music. In the next two gentle pieces, her lyrical depths emerge to meld with Couperin's melancholic intent. This same emotive playing finds its home in several moving, introspective works (tracks 19, 21 and 26) suggestve of the composer's deep yearings and sadness (from perhaps his health struggles). In all these, Miss Hewitt seems to really find the emotional core and present it to us with great tenderness and artistry.

But, soon the fun and frolic begins with "Les Folies Francoises" - a delightful and imaginative miniature "theme-and-variations" ordre in which each variation parodies some virture or emotion (hope, jealousy, fidelity, despair etc). As such it is truly early "programmic music" - as is most of Couperin's music with their odd titles. In the masked ball parody, Hewitt covers the range of expressive textures brilliantly - from the festivity in the "Couquetry" piece to the dark moodiness of "Jealousy" played in the lower half of the keyboad. As the pianist quotes in her abundant notes, "This work is a microcosm of Couperin's art, its tragic passion, its whitty urbanity, its sensuous charm." Indeed.

Once again here we see Miss Hewitt's mastery of the composer and his music - most notably her scrupulous attention to detail to Couperin's precise score notations. Her skill in these most-important ornamentations show both a well-studied approach and fine taste, integrating them into the tapestry of the music smoothly and attractively. As such, her playing really has a more gentle, feminine quality in its appeal. Hewitt certainly makes a strong case for this music on piano, especially the greater nuance of expression afforded the piano in the slower movements. I know some insist this music is best suited for the harpsichord, but it is hard to resist this artist's ability to produce music of such tonal beauty and pianistic richness. Her emphasis on such tonal beauty is once again fully supported by Hyperion who produced a sparkling clear and bright sound quality (much like Volume II) with richly developed timbre from her Steinway in an attractive, mildly resonant recording ambiance.

While there are many fascinating textures and themes played marvelously by Angela Hewitt in this third release, I have to admit I found the pieces in the first two Hyperion recordings slightly more musically interesting in scope, granduer, lyricism and expressiveness. If you are wondering which one to get first, I would say definately Volume I. But, overall, Hewitt plays this music most elgantly and with just the right elan and sensitively to Couperin's intent. I find a refreshing quality in all her Couperin recordings that makes them some of my favorite to play throughout the day. They are easy on the ear, yet musically rich and satisfying. Fans of Angela Hewitt or the French Baroque should find more of a good thing here in Hewitt's third Couperin CD and much to celebrate in her delicate and tasteful pianism. Also her very useful accompanying notes to guide you along add to the attractiveness of this release. And the cover art is particular sumptuous as well. Rating - 4.5 stars.

And continuing in the tradition of French keyboard music, Angela Hewitt has since recorded works by Emmanuel Chabrier and Rameau - both on the Hyperion label.

A Score Collector gives it Up Thumbs!.......2007-05-05

I have over 100 score soundtracks in my collection. I'm very happy to have found this title available.
If you like the Korean flavor of this title I would also recommend the "Rising Sun",score soundtrack by Toru Takemitsu.
Some of my favorite composers are Horner, Goldsmith, Kamen, Edelman, Elfman, and Poledouris; and I guess Williams too.
Safan was a new composer for me. The score soundtrack for "The Last Starfighter" is very simalar to Remo but, it is not as available. He also did the score for "Stand and Deliver" which I have not heard yet.
This movie had a song tie-in, entitled "What If", by Tommy Shaw one of the ex-front men of STYX. It is from his second solo album entitled the same.
This is not the best score soundtrack ever; However, it is very nice and I would recommend it to fellow patrions.

One of the best movie soundtracks ever!.......2006-09-21

This re-issue of the soundtrack is the first that's widely available. There was a limited "not for resale" CD issue a few years back, but nothing like this. The quality is suburb, and there's several extra track not found on the original CD. The only thing that's missing is "Remo's Theme" by Tommy Shaw ("What If.") This is played over the end credits and while Remo is attempting his escape in the Ambulance. You'll only find that on a Tommy Shaw album or limited release 45 (vinyl record, not ammo.)

Played with authentic vintage Korean instruments, plus modern instruments and keyboards, this is one of Safan's best sound tracks to date. "Remo Floats" is my favorite, and probably #1 with most fans.

Extra Tracks:

The "Organ Music" is the music heard while Chiun is watching the Soaps.

"Elevator Encounter" that's heard while Remo is in, er, the elevator.

"Ferris Wheel Theme" is the odd-ball musid we hear while Remo is on the Wonder Wheen. Same for "Chiun's Ferris Wheel Theme."

This is a pretty good soundtrack. I remember seeing the movie at the theatre in 1989. The music reached at and grabbed you. The soundrack is now here. This gets high marks.

A Surprisingly Innovative and Sweeping Score!.......2005-11-17

This film, based on the comic book character of the same name, was brought to the screen in 1989 with Dolph Lundgren in the lead role. It was violent, raw and stylish, even though it was not what some comic book fans expected, many having already determined how Castle should have been shown on film. Another problem was that because of studio problems, the film was not released widely in theaters and was not brought to video until years later. About 5 years ago, it was economically released on DVD, but without the stereo soundtrack, which naturally weakened the impact of the film and sadly, this brilliant score.

Composer Dreith has long been working with an impressive list of composers, such as John Williams, James Horner, Eliott Goldenthal, Hans Zimmer, Mark Shaiman, and others, as an orchestrator and conductor. He has worked on such films as "Jurassic Park", "Sleepless in Seattle", "Misery", "The Addams Family", "Aliens 3" and many others. He is no novice in the world of motion picture scoring and this CD contains about 20 minutes of interviews with Dreith and the director Mark Goldblatt, which will give those interested in motion picture scoring real insight to how music is produced for film. There is also a beautifully produced full-color 16-page booklet included in the jewel box.

Here is one of the rare Dreith scores, and though the film was not a major blockbuster, Dreith pulls out all the stops on his creativity, foresight and ingenuity. From the opening theme, a combination of rich orchestral passion mixed with electronic detachment (much like the mind of our anti-hero), all the way through this emotional, frightening and fascinating tapestry of sound. The film was only about an hour and a half, yet here is a score of nearly an hour. This score truly narrates the emotional impact and motivations not shown in the characters and fills in the blanks for some of the more quiet characterizations. One can almost feel introspection of Castle, and the heavy metal of the sewer where he lives, yet those French horns also seem to refer to hope in the light from the streets above. I was particularly taken with the brilliant string passages on "Choose Your Weapon" and "Wake Up", which I continue to play over and over. These truly convey Castle's character as relentless and determined. On "Path to Tanaka" and "Pain in the Neck" you will be treated to Dreith's firey interpretation of Japanese instrumentation and phrasing.

It is clear that Dreith is influenced by some mentors... particularly John Williams and Jerry Goldsmith. I am reminded occasionally of the scores from "Towering Inferno", "Chinatown", "Earthquake" and "Planet of the Apes"... yet the composer surely has a sound and style uniquely his own and "The Punisher" certainly showcases this. I understand this southern California native is now composing more of his own music. He certainly seems to want to carry on the legacy of great film music began by Steiner, Korngold, Rozsa and Bernstein... and I welcom it. Many action films of the 80s and 90s used popular songs and scores based on rock music... and they now appear terribly out-of-date and clumbsy. This score seems as fresh and exciting as ever. I hope they re-release this motion picture with a stereo score, so we can appreciate the film as it should be. Though not a monumental achievement cinematically, this score certainly makes the film memorable musically.
