"Led by heartthrob Alex Turner, with a sultry voice and swagger just as powerful as his songwriting, the band invites you to turn up the volume and join them on their raucous, naughty night out."

The Soundtrack Monthly Pick, as chosen by Barnes & Noble booksellers, is the score of The Matrix. Featuring such artists as Rammstein, Rage Against the Machine and Rob Zombie, this iconic motion picture soundtrack boasts and array of metal, rap, hip-hop and big beat.

"The blood-pumping electronic score to the Wachowskis' sci-fi action classic starring Keanu Reeves is peerless," said Bill Castle, Director of Merchandise, Barnes & Noble. "Celebrating its 25th Anniversary, the album has been released with brand-new cover art and an expanded track list. Take the Blue Pill (B&N Exclusive) Vinyl and find out where the story takes you!"
