Free Music Notes for Pump Up The Volume: Music From The Original Motion Picture Soundtrack

Free Music Review: a few duds, but worthy overall - especially 4 "Evbdy Knows"
Hit: 5 Stars

I got this CD for the deliciously noir and pessimistic "Everybody Knows," surely one of the best songs I've ever heard. Concrete Blonde's version far outshine's the master who wrote it, Leonard Cohen. While I really dig Cohen's songs, his version is a bit tinkly with a cheesy synthesiser. Johnette Napolitano brings more menace and the band brings deft muscle to the song.

Although I bought it for "Everybody Knows," it turns out the whole CD is pretty darn good! "Why Can't I Fall in Love" is a good follow-up song and holds its own. Next is a very respectable version of Sly's "Stand!" followed by another big treat on this CD: the Pixies' unplugged slow-wave version of "Wave of Mutilation!"

Unfortunately, Peter Murphy's "I've Got a Secret Miniature Camera" sounds like a second rate Fixx song. What a change from Bauhaus! It's just O.K.

"Kick Out the Jams" has never been my favorite song. Not even the great Bad Brains or Henry Rollins can salvage it for me, although they totally shred. You can definitely rock out to it.

"Freedom of Speech" is a great rap set to a jazzy hip-hop background. An anti-cencorship track with positive points of view.

"Heretic" is some wicked old-school Soundgarden while Sonic Youth contribute a song of driving weirdness that somehow manages to behave like a normal rock song. Well, sort of. How cool that a track this out-there found a place on a popular movie soundtrack. (and obviously, this is about the soundtrack, not the movie . . .)

The Cowboy Junkies' reading of Robert Johnson's creepy "Me and the Devil Blues" is first rate.

Finally, "Tale o' the Twister" rivals "Miniature Camera" as the weakest track in the bunch. Skip these 2 and you've got one heck of a soundtrack album. If you're like me and you like to rock as well as appreciate diversity, this one could be 4 U!
