Heavy Metal (Music from the Motion Picture)

I have had this album on disc for many years. Today I am trying to correct an album art problem and guess what? After fussing with the album name, deleting and readding the disc several times, I still get artwork for a Sammy Hagar 4 disc boxed set. Will contact iTunes customer support and see what happens there. Album itself is just as fantastic now as it was in 1981 or so when I bought it originally. If you want this, get it. If you only want parts of it, keep searching each artist to see if there was another release. If that fails, get this album. It will grow on you! It is only ten bucks!!

Ten bucks for one song. Nope.

I was pleasantly surprised to see this available, but see by the reviews it was here in the past. Fun movie still and I really enjoy the soundtrack!

Very bummed I had to buy the whole album. I just wanted the Don Felder Heavy metal song. I guess there are a couple good songs on there. But, not happy that Apple didn’t sell this song individually. 👎

This has been a favorite collections of songs since I bought it in the early eighties. Sorry for all of you who don't understand the concept of soundtracks and/or concept-albums. This type of album has a theme stringing all the songs together and is best enjoyed as a whole. Seems our society has bought into the "I want it now and I want it all my way" mentallity. It would be like trying to enjoy Pink Floyd's The Wall with only 1 song, or Rush's 2112, or Queensryche's Operation Mind Crime. Take a breath, sit down and enjoy what the concept of an ALBUM is all about. And for goodness sakes, stop whining!

Old Don, brought me here. The album is a gem, yet it would be nice IF the rights holder would allow more options. Also, is this 256Kbps, my bigger concern is the fedelity of Felder is not all there. I will listen, it does sound good, yet the less quality records can wear out the ears faster. Such a shame really. I thought Apple was about quality. Well at least the old iTunes is better than Apple "Music", any day. Some day, Apple may figure this out. They may even be the first, since no one else is even in the same star system. So 4 out of 5 stars. Apple should really know better. Why would it fail to advertise the quality. Certain you can have a bad or poor quality 256kbps recording, yet you cannot really have a great 128kbps - even if it is mp4 or whatever. Too much is lost.

Love this Soundtrack..and the movie. It’s a classic!

Very poor business making us buy an entire album for one song. Not the iTunes I used to know. I will never download another song due to that kind of greed.

Literally only want one song. iTunes was the reason the music industry started to lose business when people could buy single songs rather than the whole album. Not pleased whatsoever.

Me too! I just want the Felder song.
