Summary: The (Alternative) Radio Stars
Comment: The formula from the first soundtrack nearly works as well here; collect artists from the alternative scene let their sounds create the mood found in the movie.
The standout is Iggy Pop's blistering live rendition of I Wanna Be Your Dog, with White Zombie's hilarious take of the disco classic - I'm Your Boogie Man - titled, I'm Your Boogieman, a clear second choice. Fleetwood Mac's Gold Dust Woman receives a new look from Hole and Sean Olson by Korn is a solid performance.
With PJ Harvey, Seven Mary Three, the Deftones and Tricky vs. The Gravediggaz, the vibe provides a nice cross-section into a more progressive FM radio playlist, but a good listen, nonetheless.

Summary: not as good
Comment: Not even close to being as good as the first "Crow"'s soundtrack. Too repeatitive to my ears.

Summary: Not nearly as good as the first but it's not without some great tracks...
Comment: Straight to the point. This album is not nearly as good as the first. But Hole, Rob Zombie, Filter, Pj Harvey, Bush (surprisingly amazing with the Joy Division cover... cause apparently this franchise really digs those), and Iggy Pop all have great songs so it certainly isn't a waste of money. But many of the other songs(and artists) have not withstood the test of time. I would say go grab some of the songs off of this, and a couple of the songs of the abysmal follow up (The Crow 3: A Movie No One Has Seen) and call it a day.

Summary: Filter, Bush, the Toadies....Remember these bands?
Comment: I've been carrying around a battle-scarred copy of this CD for years. While I don't revisit the alt-rock hits at the beginning, I have discovered a jewel near the end of the disc - Iggy Pop's live version of "I Wanna Be Your Dog". It is an absolutely blistering track. I don't know how many people out there are Stooges fans, but this version beats the original on their first album, hands down. Iggy manages to pack more power and sleaze into 3 minutes than any of these other bands can put on an album.
Customer Rating:
Summary: One of the best!!!
Comment: I HAD to give this CD 5 stars since it is one of the VERY FEW cd's I've bought over the past decade where I like every song (one of four actually, the others being AC/DC - Live, Weird Al - Bad Hair Day and Gravity Kills self titled album). I bought it when it first came out and still listen to it today. The songs blend well together and carry the emotion of The Crow legacy with them. I rate this album the best in the series.
