Hit: 3 Stars
As a HUGE fan of the TV show "The Deadliest Catch", I was excited to see this compilation on CD. One of the best parts of the television show is the riveting background/incidental music. Paul Hepker & Bruce Hanifan seem to be the composers of most of the tracks, and they do a great job infusing some interesting percussion tracks, blues guitar, Irish jigs, and flute. Tracks like "A Deadly Catch", "Western Theme/Lucky Lady", "Let it Soak", "Northwestern/Maverick Theme" and "Pot of Gold/Shanty" are all stand out tracks that are recognizable from the show. Quick little instrumentals that really help set the tone of the program, and the real reason fans of the show will want this disk. Sprinkled throughout are some songs which have been played on various episodes, and truth be told they are more "miss" than "hit". "Paid" by the Supersuckers kind of sounds like a John Cafferty rock tune, not bad, but not much replay value. "The Storm" kind of sounds like a watered down Bruce Springsteen song that just kind of sits there. Vienna Teng's "Between" is a really good song, that sounds kind of like a 90's Tori Amos song. The haunting vocals make this one stand out. "Leavin" by Indigenous is another solid tune built around a fantastic blues riff on the guitar. "Rain" by John Heintz is 5:05 of pure suck. Just a boring, dull tune. "Til the End" by The Living End (which isn't available for preview here) is a lame punk-wannabe type of tune that sounds as though someone is trying to imitate the "Dropkick Murphys"...but they don't have the talent.
I wish the album were set up with all of the incidental music either lumped together at the beginning or the end of the disk, instead of sprinkled around these other songs. As it is, you'll be hitting the Skip button quite often when you have this disk in the CD player. Still if you are a fan of the show, you'll probably enjoy this disk. And if you are looking for "Dead of Alive" by Bon Jovi...pick up "Slippery When Wet", cause you won't find that tune on here....and because "Slipper When Wet" is an awesome slice of 80's hair metal.
