Repo! The Genetic Opera 

Description

What do Paris Hilton, Sarah Brightman, Clown from Slipknot - Paul Sorvino, Steven Perkins and Bill Mosley have in common?

REPO! THE GENETIC OPERA
Directed by Darren Lynn Bousman
Produced by Twisted Pictures and Lionsgate
Written by Darren Smith and Terrance Zdunich
Starring Paul Sorvino, Alexa Vega, Paris Hilton, Anthony Head, Bill Mosely, Ogre, Terrance Zdunich and Sarah Brightman, (cameo by Joan Jett)

In the no-so-distant future, a worldwide epidemic of organ failures devastates the planet. Out of the tragedy, a savior emerges: GENECO, a biotech company that offers organ transplants...for a price. Those who miss their payments are scheduled for repossession and hunted by THE REPO MAN. By fusing ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW and BLADE RUNNER, this futuristic tale of horror modernizes the rock opera genre with original music and rich, dark production design.
This rock opera boasts an entirely original soundtrack that blends equal parts goth and punk rock to form an eerie and powerful musical narrative. All of the actors performed their own songs, and the music was provided by an all-star lineup that features performances from Richard Patrick (Filter), Steven Perkins (Jane's Addiction), Clown (Slipknot), Ray Luzier (Army of Anyone), Brian Young (David Lee Roth's band), Richard Fortus (Guns & Roses), Sonny Moore (First to Last), David J (Bauhaus/Love & Rockets), Daniel Ash (Love & Rockets), Blasko (Ozzy Osborne), Tommy Clefetus (Rob Zombie's band), Melora Creager (Rasputina). Also lending her voice to the soundtrack is the edgy pop star Poe. Japanese musician and composer Yoshiki Haysahi (of the legendary rock band X-Japan) co-produced the music with Joe Bishara to create one of the most diverse soundtracks in movie history.

Customer reviews for 'Repo! The Genetic Opera'

«Repo Man!»

This is one of the best albums I have heard in quite some time. The music is superb and gives you the gist of the film's story. You will not be let down.

«A bloody, Gothic opera »

I've listened to this album several times and also went to the opera's website to get more details about the plot since the movie has not come to Peoria, IL. The story is very unusual, bloody, and weird; but, I have a strange sense of humor, and so I think I will enjoy seeing the opera when it gets released on DVD. I certainly liked the music.

I found the music to be quite compelling and I enjoyed the dark, pulsating beat of most of the soundtrack. The soundtrak opens up with "At the Opera" a rousing musical introduction of most of the characters.

This soundtrack is not for the squimish - the subject matter like the music is dark. Also there is lots cussing. The cussing doesn't bother me, but some people might be offended.

Some of the more memorable tracks:

Infected: Has a rousing beat and good lyrics: "I'm infected by your genetics. I don't think I can be fixed. Why, oh why, are my genetics such a [...]!"

Bravi: Creats a fun, carnival-like, mad atmosphere.

21st Century Cure: Tells the background of the story - if one gets an organ transplant and doesn't pay up the repo man will take the organ back by force!

Repo Man: A rousing homage, more spoken the sung, has some good guitar and a very good beat and explains who the repo man is.

"And until our debts are cleared, we will live in fear of the Repo Man!

How true in real life too!

I am eagerly anticipating the DVD release of the Repo! The Genetic Opera* so I can actually watch this quirky, but bloddly, rock opera. I think I'll also get more enjoyment out of this soundtrack if have watched the opera.

«I Get Goosebumps!»

This soundtrack is amazing. The movie was spectacular and the music is one of the very best parts of it. The sound quality on the songs is fantastic and sounds great. I'm not knowledgeable about music except for that fact that I listen to it constantly, so this is just coming from an avid listener, but I can't say enough great things about this soundtrack.

Each song has a great sound and all of them are very catchy. One or two listens and you'll be singing along to your favorites. My favorite is Things You See In A Graveyard. Every time I listen to that song I get goosebumps.

Honestly, buy it, listen to it, see the movie and I hope you love and adore it like I do!
