I am a huge AC/DC fan. In my eyes they can do no wrong. But the same thing cannot be said about their record company, which is now Sony BMG. You remember Sony records, right? The company that, in an effort to thwart music piracy, sold CD's that installed a root kit on the person's computer. This is software that allows people to take control over another person's computer. bad move.
But I digress.
Why is the Iron Man 2 Soundtrack not the best idea Sony has ever come up with? It seems like a winner on the surface. AC/DC was one of the biggest selling bands in 2008 and 2009. They are one of the biggest selling band OF ALL TIME (take that, Kenye). Their album Back in Black is the number 2 highest selling album of all time - second only to Michael Jackson's Thriller. And the movie is sure to be a winner as it;s a follow-up to the smash hit movie of 2008.
The problem with this CD is that the only person I can recommend buy it is the die hard fans.
Bu-bu-whaat?!? You're saying, "Hey Ken, if it wasn't such a great idea, why would a die hard fan want to buy this thing?" That's because for $38 they have a collector's edition that includes the CD, a DVD with 50 minutes of never seen before live footage, 2 Iron Man comic books, an AC/DC poster and replica backstage passes. This is something a die had fan cannot pass up. The song selection is negligible. In fact it's because of the song selection that I will recommend that the casual listener stay away from this CD.
You see, this is not a "greatest hits" as it has been advertised. In fact, it's not even a "somewhat modest hits CD". The songs have been selected by the director of Iron Man, Jon Favreau, who also plays his security guard, Hogan, in both movies. The songs have been selected to help tell the story of the movie, but are not even close to being their best songs. In fact, one of the songs is actually a throw-away song that had never been released on a CD until the band released their most recent box set, Back Tracks.
So the diehard fans will already own all these songs and really only need to buy this package for the extra goodies, and the casual fan will be disappointed to find that almost half of the tracks are not considered their greatest hits. I would love to see AC/DC release a greatest hits CD someday. For new fans to have all their best material would be an investment in buying 16 full CD's. It would be nice for new fans to have a double CD package with 30 of the band's biggest hits.
So for the casual fan, stay away from the Iron Man 2 Soundtrack if you want a greatest hits package. This isn't it.
