Various Artists - 300 Original Soundtrack
Reviewed by gbowles
Very few soundtracks stand well on there own, and unfortunately this isn't really one of them. While this record may appeal to the ultimate 300 fanboy, unfortunately, I'm not into derivative-sounding apocalyptic scores and homoerotic dudes running around violently in a ridiculous historically-inspired yarn. All you get here on this disc is pseudo-demonic monk chants, oversized sounding percussion, and overdone strings... and every song on here sounds like this. Avoid at all costs (unless you're into that kinda thing). [www.warnerbrosrecords.com]
