The“X-Games,” ESPN’s alternative sports program, combines coverage of “extreme” sports — like snowboarding, skateboarding and skydiving — with popular music. ESPN selected music to create three volumes of X-Games soundtracks. The third release brings music from bands as varied as The Mighty Mighty Bosstones, Days of the New, The Crystal Method, and Pantera. All the songs have a common thread, though: they aren’t exactly the kind of music that you would want to relax to. The whole mood of the CD hovers somewhere between enthusiastic and homicidal. Pantera wails, “I’m broken,” Coal Chamber screams, “Mi loco,” and Pennywise bemoans “Society” by screaming it repeatedly.
