This is a nice remix of UT's music using an orchestra. It has pieces from UT's famous Royal Rumble '94 speech all over it. I would have rather had UT's actual entrance music, but what are you gonna do?
Rating: ***1/2
They cut out the whole beginning of the song! It doesn't even start with the glass breaking, because you hear Austin say "You are completely pathetic!" The nice quotes that pop up every now and then take away from the song. This is a MUSIC CD, marketing geniuses.
Rating: **3/4
Why does the title sound like someone just let a big one? At least this one didn't have annoying quotes in it, and I liked the horns that give it that Southern-Mississippi feel to it.
Rating: ***
The beginning of the song is great, but it hits that lull of repitiveness early and drags on and on... what are they doing to that poor cat!?
Rating: ***
This is the music from the Bret Hart music video in early '96. It's a nice little song, although a little bit '80s-ish. I've never understood why they gave Bret the songs about love. It doesn't fit his character at all.
Rating: ***1/4
"It's time! It's time! It's Vader Time!" This is a very bouncy theme. Fast, slow, fast, slow, fast, fast, fast, slow... It has the overtone of a bully, which fits Vader well.
Rating: ***1/4
Mankind has such good mic skills I can excuse the excessively long quote in the middle of the song. I like how it goes through the entrance theme twice, and then Mankind introduces his exit theme (the one with the piano playing), with the quote "Destruction... can be beautiful!"
Rating: ***1/2
The hippest song in the land takes you right back to the sixties. I'm not sure whether bringing up images of his Titan-tron video is a good thing or a bad thing. The voices that sing sound retarded though.
Rating: ***
This is my favorite song on the track. It's almost like Malcom X meets some tribe from Africa. The overtone used as harmony gives the song a dangerous feeling. This song was so good it makes up for the endless repeating of "We are the Nation... of Domination!" throughout the song.
Rating: ***3/4
Excuse me, but I don't remember Rocky ever using this theme, even before he was with the Nation of Domination. This theme has no personality, and it's repetitive. Another great addition from the Marketing Think Tank.
Rating: **1/2
I like Sid's quote, "The game we play is simple: two men enter... one man survives." It has a short remix of Sid's theme, and then goes back to some quotes before going into the original version. Interesting.
Rating: **3/4
This is my second favorite theme. It just sounds like someone readying for a fight. The use of bells adds a Doomsday feeling to the piece.
Rating: ***1/2
This is the original version of the Flash Funk theme, with the divas singing. This is definitely a song for swing dancing. Interesting they should include the theme of an undercarder.
Rating: ***1/4
This theme is a good one for Sunny. Only thing is, I don't know if they ran out of ideas for lyrics or what, because they stop midway through and the song quickly becomes VERY repetitive.
Rating: ***
Yet another remix, I'm not sure what the guy who was singing this was on. They use more saxophone, which gives the song a Blues Brothers kind of feel to it, and they mix the original lyrics nicely.
Rating: ***1/4
Overall Rating: **3/4. An okay album, but a lot of songs were ruined either by being a remix, excessive quotes, or just plain repetitiveness. The only songs that appear as they sound in the arena are Faarooq, Shamrock, Dude Love, Vader, and Sable. 5/15 ain't good, but it isn't awful.
