"Beltrami has given us a very menacing piece of music. The opening theme harks back to the Jaws theme by John Williams. Very cold and forboding. You know there is danger, but where is it? Beltrami brings a more traditional sound to the score. I am a big fan of the two previous scores, and I rate this one right up there with them in its ability to evoke emotion. The love theme from the first two movies is reworked, and sounds great. If you like score music, pick this CD up fast."

"Salvation" comes to the end of "The Crow" legacy

"Undoubtably it is the first score and movie that was the best when it comes to "The Crow." However, where "City of Angels" (the second film)was lacking, and through no fault of Vincent Perez, this score picks up and gives me hope that the "Crow" films will now end on a high note. This is a very dynamic and moving score with angelic overtones and dark corners. Wonderful music to write to. As a long time fan I can say in all truth, this did not fall from my hopes. The only thing lacking is the fine workings of Graeme Revell, who I believe helped bring as much soul to the first film as Brandon Lee did, but as the films have evolved so must the music, and I welcome Marco Beltrami."

It serves its purpose well

"Even though Graeme Revell served the first Crow movie well, and was the only good thing about the second one, I thought Beltrami was refreshing. The problem with the second flick was that it tried to tie to the first one. Salvation is free from all that, so having a new composer almost seems expected.
Beltrami seems to like reoccuring themes which ties all the tracks together. Some of my favorite melodies are on this CD, ones that when you think of what happens in the movie, are quite moving.
Whether it be the atmospheric soft sounds or the pounding action ones, this will stir up your emotions."
