The oral history of the OST is a very fun read. Everybody wanted to team with Cypress Hill at the time.
The title track makes me glad the corniest metal band and the corniest rap group found each other. Sometimes I yell "JUDGMENT NIIIIIIGHT!!!" when Jokić hits a 3.

13Haha that was the first time I'd heard Therapy? and I was convinced they were the worst band in the world.major wrote: Thu Aug 07, 2025 2:32 pmWhile the title track is bad, “Come and Die” is one of the worst songs I have ever heard.Tree wrote: Thu Aug 07, 2025 2:13 pm The oral history of the OST is a very fun read.

Even the artists I like that contributed to this (Sonic Youth, Dinosaur, Teenage Fanclub, Mudhoney, early Helmet, De La Soul, Ice-T, and Run DMC) were already burnt or getting there by the time this thing was recorded. Maybe Del Tha Funky Homosapien still had some life left in him in 1993? I dunno.
Biohazard, Onyx, Pearl Jam, Cypress Hill, Living Color, and House of Pain always struck me as being glossy crud from day one. Biz bands.
"Just Another Victim" and "Judgment Night" were totally from that tough guy/hockey jock school of alternarock. The latter song being especially horrible, per my recollection ("juuuuuddgemeeennnnnt niiiiiiight!"; fuck you).
Someone like Jeru or Wu Tang jamming w/the Boredoms or the Blues Explosion might have been vaguely cool at the time, but that's pretty far-fetched for a Hollywood soundtrack, no?
This album always struck me as something cooked up by an overzealous A&R guy or bigshot producer. A gent like Hal Willner was always way more organic and elegant at such endeavors.

Jeru the Demaja + Boredoms
Wu Tang Clan + Jon Spencer Blues Explosion
Son Of Bazerk + Sponge
Ol Dirty Bastard + Ass Ponys
Lauryn Hill + Veruca Salt
Eazy E + Bastro

16I think the syrupy mid tempo of tortoise would go with Wu Tang better than JSBX, but that doesn't mean the latter would be bad!
I saw this movie high as bird pussy and remember nothing. The teenage fanclub/de la thing was good, but de la elevates everything they touch, so there's that.
The rest is utterly forgettable. And forgotten.

17ODB and the Boredoms could have been incredible.
Re: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack: Judgement Night
18Just think if Tortoise had been the backing band for the 10 minute opener of Wu Tang Forever.
It would have slayed.
