Free Music Notes for The Music from The O.C.: Mix 1
Free Music Review: season one - worthwhile
Hit: 5 Stars
For all of the seasons i've listened to, and i admit, i'm not a big fan of the show but rather, a music critic and write a music column, i found this season's list to be the most interesting. Which is NOT to say that there are not other songs to be found on other seasons (so please, scope them out, because songs like "If You Leave" is truly worthwhile).
Still, you can't beat the list here - there is so much good, and so much that, at the time (and this is important to remember) was new (or new to the public; yes, you may have known it, just as i may have known it but i would guess that most viewers did not know Jet or Propellerheads by then, so you have to credit the OC with bringing these groups to the forefront).
It's hard. One feels torn about that always - It reminds me of when I liked the Replacements and nobody else did or even knew them and then the Pleased to Meet Me album came out and the song "Alex Chilton" and suddenly they were HUGE and everybody was a Replacements fan and I felt like, "Hey, i've been here all along...!"
That is a wholly selfish view; we should want bands we like to be successful and to do well. It's not selling out, no more than i think Dylan is selling out by doing IPod commercials. Groups, like any other worker or industry, have to look at the bottomline. They never claimed NOT to be commercial, and that's key. I don't see this as selling out then on their part, as some would, but as a smart and strategic career move for the many people who do watch the OC, and while i can't say that i've ever seen a single episode, it's not because i don't like the show (how could i judge? i've never seen!) it's that i know the music already and can judge on the basis of that - so the OC may have been a bit behind the times but hey, they caught up and the compilations are among the best out there for any television series.
Just my two cents for what it's worth. I'd buy this album. I did. It's worth it. Almost every song is good... and check out the other OC albums as well... there is much to be found.
Thanks for listening,
sadi ranson-polizzotti
Free Music Review: A Great Change
Hit: 5 Stars
This is an excellent CD and the best of the OC soundtracks. The music is all very good and has an upbeat optismtic feel to it. The songs on this CD aren't ones you hear everyday played on the radio over and over. This is a refreshing collection of excellent music that anyone can enjoy, whether you are a fan of the show or not!Free Music Review: very happy

I love the OC and one of the reasons I do is because of all the music in it. All of the songs are so catchy and I end up singing them the whole day. In the first season, I watch the Music Guide hoping to find a song I like and usually I do...until the soundtrack came out. I bought it immediantly and now I listen to it every day. It has all of my favorite songs from the OC on it, but I wish they included the songs "out of Control" by the Chemical Brothers (its from the escape when marissa catches luke with holly) and also the song "into dust" when ryan is holding marissa in his arms at the end of the escape. Other than that, this album is definately worth buying!Free Music Review: Music from the O.C. Mix 1

I love this CD! No matter who you are or what your background is, even if you've never even watched the O.C. (unheard of, but possible) you will fall head over heals in love with the soundtrack. Each song, from artists like the Dandy Warhols and Jem, will impress you over and over again. This CD is a must-have for anyone who likes alt-rock type music. Overall, this CD is worth quadruple what you paid for it!Free Music Review: word...life
Hit: 5 Stars
A hip hop classic. I've been listening to this since high school and it's still as tight as Illmatic. Three billion thumbs up.
