Various Artists - More Music from The Fast and the Furious [Copy Protected CD]

Overall... not a bad buy C+

I have heard some of the complaints about the play back ability of the disk. I have had no problems. It plays in my crappy 10.00 portable cd player, it plays in my car (2007 ford taurus) and it plays in my computer (e-machines) It even ripped fine into my computer with no problems. But I have heard many complaints about the disk itself by people I know as well, and i can say that I perhaps may of just been lucky. Be careful when you buy this cd though because as stated by previous reviewers it can be choosy.


Overall the music is fun and pretty accurate to the movie. I was happy that the instrumental score was included. I give this disk a grade average of a C+ June 29, 2008

believe it or not...

For those of you who went to see this movie back in 2001, will remember the music. At this point, it doesn't really matter what other people think. I personally was a little bit sceptical when I read the reviews about the soundtrack. I remember that the music, which has a mix of alternative rock and some club-based score by the ever astounding BT, had a certain quality to it. It spoke to its generation for its time. Though I do see what the fuss is all about. True. The soundtrack has copy protected material permanently housed on the cd that may not play on all audio players or computers. That doesn't mean it should be disregarded from the curious. It deserves a second look, or a first look for the kids of today. The cd contains some fairly clean music, though it may not appeal to everyone.
If you've heard the likes of Saliva, Hoobastank, Digital Assasins, and BT, the sounds should be familiar. Ultimately, there has been advancements since they manufactured the cd. As I read, one reviewer stated that the cd would not play in their car stereo, portable cd palyer, home stereo, dvd player ect. As I thought this to be true, which I'm sure it was, I avoided purchasing the cd. To my surprise I was able to play it in my SONY portable, HP laptop, Dell PC, and download it to my Ipod nano (first generation). So by this time I think that they might have worked all of the bugs out of it. See for yourself. If you are still sceptical, then I would recommend that you listen to the audio files provided by amazon as well as your heart to see if this is right for you. Or if you are looking to buy at a music retailer, if defective, make sure you get a full refund (cash) provided by the store policy. thank you. February 25, 2007

Some Music from Fast and Furious other songs inspired by

Copy Protection is a joke and this should be recalled by Universal/Island. If its true about Sony knowingly using hidden programs on the disc (not a CD) I will be one unhappy camper. Sony/Universal/Island should be ashamed of themselves for letting this be released in the first place. NEGATIVE STARS recall this disc and reissue it with ALL the songs from the film non copy protected so I can enjoy the music on my ipod. A newly released edition of Fast and Furious The complete soundtrack I'd buy that for a dollar. January 14, 2007

They still don't get it...

So the first soundtrack was the rap essentials (or filler as I call it) and this soundtrack is the rock essentials but they still don't get it. The reason most people run out to buy a soundtrack is because they loved the music played throughout the film, and they still fail to include some of the main tracks we loved, songs by bands like Live and Dope that should have made it are substituted by multiple tracks by mediocre bands. Sure, I was glad to see `Superstar' show up, but why `Click Click Boom' is here is beyond me, and while I love `This Life' and `Crashing Around You' I don't see how they have anything to do with the movie. Next time instead of included THREE tracks by BT give us what the movie promised because, believe it or not, that's what we wanted to hear! January 5, 2007

Lost song

I just wanted to let you know about a copyright situation. In this movie there is a part where they are sitting in a mexican food restuarant and there is a song playing in the back round. That song is not listed on the song track and I think it should be. The song is Atrevido by Orishas. I think this is wrong. March 22, 2006
