Search - Bill Conti :: Rocky 5 (Aniv) (Spec)

This Rocky Music is Dead On Arrival

"In a complete departure from previous Rocky movie soundtracks, this album is mostly a collection of vocals by various artists. It has none of the inspiring instrumental themes common to Rocky , Rocky II, and Rocky III, composed by the legendary Bill Conti. Listening to this album, there is nothing that distinguishes it as a Rocky movie soundtrack. I found nothing endearing whatsoever in this collection. The album is a KO in that it is dead on arrival. I do not recommend it.

Rocky V Original Soundtrack (Limited 15th Anniversary Ed.?)

"What was so special about it from the reg. version soundtrack?

Why in the past was this worth $45.? This soundtrack has no feel about Rocky. Part of a series on film involves music. All these rap tracks were garbage. I can't watch Rocky and have it affiliated with rap. The only song I liked was "Measure of a Man" by Elton John. That track pretty much sums up the Rocky Saga. I hope they use that track again in "Rocky Balboa". Speaking of which; I hope there aren't that many rap tracks in that one as well. The only reason of purchase... Is because I'm a "Rocky Fan". Enough said..."

Not As Good As The Other Soundtracks

"This CD doesn't have as good of songs as the other Rocky soundtracks do. I enjoy listening to the instrumental songs from the other soundtracks way more than listening to the Rocky V CD. Rocky V is the worst of the Rocky movies. The song "Measure of a Man" is fair; I bought the CD because I liked that song. Some of the other songs aren't in the movie; they're just inspired by the movie."
