Editorial Review:
Amazon.com:
According to the liner notes, 20 million people gather 'round the tube to watch The X-Files each week, so it's not a stretch to believe that the movie will be huge beyond belief. With that kind of hype, the producers were under a lot of pressure to put together an incredible soundtrack to back it up. At first glance, the disc looks aptly huge, featuring artists like Foo Fighters, The Cure, Bjork, and Sting. How does it stand up? Surprisingly, the smaller groups are the ones providing the best music within. Filter's reworking of Three Dog Night's "One" kicks the disc into high gear but the excitement plummets from there. The Foo Fighter's new track, "Walking After You," is a softly-sung mediocre pop song; Sting should be ashamed to be regurgitating yet another number ("Invisible Sun" with World Beat artist Aswad). It's also disappointing to see the inclusion of already-released cuts, like Bjork's "Hunter" and a forcibly altered version of Sarah Mclachlan's "Black." --Denise Sheppard

The x-files album was pretty dumb. It didn't have any actual x-files music, just some bands trying to sound mysterious. None of it was by Mark Snow, so that was dissapointing. The music is weird and has nothing to do with the movie at all.

But is that hard to believe? The soundtrack is actually very well put together and features a ton a great music. Supposedly none of the bands had seen the movie or the script when they recorded their songs for the album...which in itself seems a little far fetched since the first track, Filters remake of 'One', is referenced in the film (in the bar when David says "one is the lonliest number"...coincidence? I think not!). Regardless, this album is still top notch. The opening track by Filter ... Read More

Bad, bad, bad. And I don't mean that in a good way. Bjork yodels her way (Iceland-style) through "Hunter". You have pomposity personified as Noel Gallagher sings "Teotihuacan". You have pure lethargy with Filter, Soul Coughing, X, and Tonic (not surprising, because these bands don't know what the words "mid-tempo" or "melody" mean). I don't even know who the f*ck Aswad is. Basically, all of the bands on this disc are a plaid-clad joke (except for The Cure). Really, they have to be. Any studio that ... Read More

OK first off I have to say... I was a big fan of the show back when it first started, and watched it almost religiously until the wrote David Duchnovy out of the script. The movie on the other hand... well, it was ok, not great but still pretty good. HOWEVER, the soundtrack was excellent. I'm one of those people that don't really care much for the boy bands and teeny-bopper music that you hear all the time on the radio. I like the more obscure songs that really speak to me, and this album is chock full ... Read More

Initially I didn't see much of a connection between these songs and the movie, but I suppose if you look hard enough it's there. Anyway, as far as the bands here, it's mostly good. "X" covers a "Doors" song, and "Filter" does a good cover. The "Cure" track "More Than This", isn't the "RoXy Music" song, but it's still good. The "Foo Fighters" and "Bjork" songs are good, but old. I never cared much for "Better Than Ezra", but they have one of the better tracks here. The only song I don't like is the "Invisible ... Read More
