Free Music Review: IT TOTALLY ROCKS!!
Hit: 5 Stars
Its that good. And why should you believe that? Well, I haven't bought a CD for God knows how many months--I just don't think buying eight songs you hate and two you like is worth the cash. So I tape songs from my friends/the radio. Hey, but once I'd borrowed THIS one, I was buying it for myself moments later. IT TOTALLY ROCKS!! Actually, few songs aside from (arguably) Life's a Bitch (Shooter)'rock' - this stuff is all, as Rickey Wright says, "wounded romanticism". And lets face it, we all like a bit of that, even those who pretend to be die-hard metallers! Those, like me, who love the "I've been dissed - the world sux" or "I've found THE one - let me hug the world" crap will abso-adore this CD. If you are from outside America, you'll probably only know "Kiss Me" (Sixpence None the Richer), "I Don't Wanna Wait" (Paula Cole) and if you have the bonus trax "Blame it on the Weatherman (B*Witched), but you'll know plenty of artists: Sophie B. Hawkins, Shawn Mullins, Curtis Stigers and PJ Olsson. So you might think twice about getting it - don't. Every song, I reckon, is great. Many may seem full of pretentious pseudo-soul searching, but don't think about that. Just enjoy and wallow in the beautiful voices and melodies. My personal favourites are "Cry Ophelia" (that was no contest for me - but if anyone knows the significance of Ophelia, COULD YOU PLEASE EMAIL ME), "Ready for a fall" (P.J. has the best voice) and the incredible "Feels Like Home" by the amazingly talented Chantal Kreviazuk.
For Gods sake, why are you reading all this long-winded crap of mine?? Go out and get this CD!!
Free Music Review: Only gets better
Hit: 5 Stars
I remember how I was so excited when this soundtrack first came out- the show had introduced me to so many songs that I loved, yet hadn't been able to track down (pre-internet knowledge), so when I flung it into my stereo and pressed play, I was a little disappointed. No Chantal's "Before You", no Billie Myers kissing the rain, no Jann Arden singing about her "Good Mother", and definitely no Blink 182 telling the world "Dammit".But I listened anyway. I kept the disc in there, playing it whenever I was hanging around, and a funny thing happened- I loved it. Although there are some stand-out tracks, it was the general feel of the songs, and the way they were put together to make up the album, that really encapsulated the show for me. Now, whenever I want to remember those moments from the show, or want to feel the water at the end of the dock, the grass beneath my feet, and the craziness of emotions, I put this disc in and press play.
My favorite songs became-
"London Rain"- somehow works perfectly as both a vivid reminder of the scene it was played over in the show, and a personal memory of rainy days and hopeful hearts.
"Letting Go"- this song is just divine, I can't help but sing along to its mournful little chorus.
"Stay You"- an infectious, swinging, soulful song.
"Feels Like Home"- Chantal's music just seems like Creek stuff now; it has that whispery, summery, fresh quality to it.
Free Music Review: Top Notch CD
Hit: 5 Stars
Although I've never even seen Dawson's Creek, I came across the soundtrack by chance one day, and I'm so glad I did. I had heard the song, "London Rain," on the radio and loved it, so when I saw it was on the album, I was curious to see what else was on it. I was pleasantly surprised to find that I like every song on the album.Lyrically, I believe these songs are *excellent*. They are threaded with nostalgia, hope, wonderment, a touch of pain and a corresponding sense of wanting safety, security, love, friendship. And yes, a bit of sadness as well. It's a "bittersweet" collection of songs, mellow and reassuring, like a loyal golden retriever.
Favorites are "London Rain," "Crying Ophelia," and "Stay You." Other highlights are the "Feels Like Home" song, and the "Where will you go after me?" song (PJ Olson). And of course, the three hits "Shimmer," "I Don't Wanna Wait," and "Kiss Me," are brilliant. Fans of the song "Soulfully" (which is *not* on the CD), and which I read somewhere was in the show at some point should check out catie curtis' self-titled album.
The only drawback I can think of is that there seem to be a number of other great songs which weren't included. Hopefully, more compilations are on the way. Volume 2 is slated for an October 3, 2000 release, so that's a start.
I honestly like every song on this album. Which is nice, because it means I never have to skip tracks. :)
Free Music Review: The soundtrack is the perfect complement to the show!
Hit: 5 Stars
This is the best soundtrack I've ever heard, including movie soundtracks.
As fans of the series know, music was always central to Dawson's Creek. It highlighted the emotions, and certain songs will always bring you back to memories of the show.
Each song on the CD has it's own special qualities, they're all good songs, but a few stand-out:
"Kiss Me" exemplifies the innocent romance of the teen years, and Dawson's Creek.
"Feels Like Home" is a beautiful, sweet song that speaks to all fans of the Dawson/Joey coupling.
"Life's a Bitch" is perfectly fitting for Abby Morgan's death, and it's catchy, too!
"Ready For a Fall" is eeriely calm and melancholy, a song that represents Pacey losing Andie.
"London Rain" is a fabulous pop song, which will remind all fans of Dawson building Joey her white picket fence.
"Letting Go" is an original, fun, yet sad song that represents Joey and Dawson's relationship in the second season.
The rest are great, too... and you get the theme song! Who can hear Paula Cole's "I Don't Wanna Wait" without thinking of Dawson's Creek?
Enjoy this CD, and enjoy the memories!
Free Music Review: Bitter Sweet Love
Hit: 5 Stars
What a soundtrack! Whoever picked this selection should recieve an award! I hear you say, I don't think it deserves all this praise and, on first listening, you would be right to doubt the praise I bestow upon this CD! Okay, the Heather Nova track, London Rain is mesmerising as is the Sophie B hawkin's song. Some people are sick of the Paula COle song, not ME! Every time the chorus belts out I find myself singing along and getting all tingly. When I hear this song memories from the show rush through me, especially the ever twisting Dawson/Joey romance! The Curtis Stiger song, excellent!
What I liked about this CD is that the songs mirror the shows theme perfectly, love and how it can hurt, bring joy and ultimately fill the hole everyone has in their life until it comes along.
On the CD, is a good mix of rock, love, bitter-sweet love songs. All should twinge something in each listener as most of the lyrics I can relate to from my own personal experience!
Buy this CD for easy listening or if your just a fan of the show cos it's excellent!
