Odd... just sounds like the Mark Mothersbaugh incidental music from a Wes Anderson Dredd movie.

You have to wonder if its anything to do with the movie?

Still like it, if it sounds a bit derivative of John Carpenter's sound track stuff.

No argument from me it's a stunning album.

Never understood why people feel riffy metal/rock is a fitting soundtrack for Mega-City-One or Dredd. It dates things pretty quickly unless it's a contemporay setting or a full pulpy stylistic sci-fi which Dredd really isn't. Maybe ok buried in the background of street atmos but not for the full sound score.

No, I don't think Meshuggah (the evil Archies) would make for a good score - but when I listen to it, I feel like the music is an 'aural dystopia'. I think a (dark) classical score is more in order for the film.

Thanks misanthrope, I liked it. It's got a heavy inexorable quality about it, like Dredd's fist!

I hope they don't use a crap heavy rock band like "The Darkness" as part of the film score for Dredd, they've made an appearance in American Reaper. Using a heavy rock group would sound cheap and nasty on a Dredd film. Like Queen doing the soundtrack to Flash Gordon, camp rubbish.

Cheap and nasty. Like Queen doing the soundtrack to Flash Gordon, camp rubbish.

I'll pretend you never said that.  It's better that way.

Although I agree about the Darkness.

It camp

Like Queen doing the soundtrack to Flash Gordon, camp rubbish.

Cos like, the Flash Gordon film wasn't camp.

[locustsofdeath!]

But the soundtrack fit. So it's got to be an exception to the "crap rock score" rule, right?

After Ornella Mutti and Brian Blessed, the Queen soundtrack is the third best thing about Flash Gordon, one of my favourite films of all time.  And after Eugene Krabbs the Kurgan, the second best thing about Highlander.

As cliche as it sounds i would like an industrial sound to the film and i can think of no better band than frontline assembly....listen to their millenium album it's very dark ie sex offender

Come of it!
