Audio Remixer: Jim Johnston. Liner Note Author: Matt Pinfield. Forceable Entry features 18 alt.metal, hard rock, and otherwise heavy tracks that double as entrance themes for WWF wrestlers like Stone Cold Steve Austin (Disturbed, "Glass Shatters"), Triple H (Drowning Pool, "The Game"), and Chris Jericho (Sevendust's reference-appropriate "Break the Walls Down"). Marilyn Manson's "Beautiful People" gets an exclusive, more gothically rocking WWF remix; heavy moaners Union Underground's "Move to the Music" serves as the theme for Raw itself. Even federation kingpin Vince McMahon gets into the act, adopting the grinding metal of Dope's "No Chance" as his own. Forceable Entry will be most relevant for wrestling fans. But fans of heavy music -- or anyone curious about Kid Rock covering ZZ Top -- might seek this set out in the local sale bin. ~ Johnny Loftus For over 18 years, Jim Johnston has been the composer behind the entrance themes for a host of legendary World Wrestling Federation grapplers. Now that all the major wrestling federations (World Class Wrestling aka WCW and Extreme Championship Wrestling aka ECW) are under the WWF umbrella, FORCEABLE ENTRY gathers together the theme songs of the biggest wrestlers from each federation and has them interpreted by a wide array of aggro-rock names. Not surprisingly, this remains an all boy's club even when it comes to the entry songs for female participants like Stacy Kiebler (Kid Rock's jittery, rapid-fire cover of ZZ Top's "Legs") and Lita (Boy Hits Car's Middle Eastern-flavored "Lovefurypassionenergy"). Amidst the screaming guitars, pounding rhythms and the occasional swarm of turntable scratching of interpreted Johnston cuts are original contributions by Marilyn Manson (a WWF Remix of the militaristic "The Beautiful People"), Rob Zombie (the relentless "Never Gonna Stop") and Monster Magnet (a howling "Live For The Moment"). Otherwise it's Sevendust pouring sheets of distorted guitar and thumping grooves into "Break The Walls Down," Saliva transforming "Turn The Tables" into a dirge and Disturbed jump-starting "Glass Shatters" with waves of crunchy riffs.
