Hit: 4 Stars
Over the last few years it seems like One Tree Hill (OTH) has really gained momentum in its popularity - perhaps it part due to the excellent little details that make the show great like its continually fitting and relatively memorable soundtrack. In general the 'sound' of the show has been a bit of a traditional emo/indie rock vibe, with a few classics and other twists thrown in for good measure.
I believe the concept behind this album is supposed to be tunes played on the road trip episode when the gang goes to Honey Grove, TX in Season 4 - but I'm pretty sure the tunes range from various parts of the 4th season.
That being said, this is a solid, well-mixed album, although I wish I could place a few more songs with moments from the show - especially toward the latter half where it burns out a bit. The strongest tunes, in my opinion, come from the first half of the album. Dashboard Confessional's "Don't Wait" was used several times on the show and provides a good opening, while The Honorary Title's contribution "Stay Away" will grow on you and get seriously stuck in your head. The Kooks and Band of Horses contribute two solid brit-rock-tinged tunes before we get one of the more unique tunes, Jose Gonzalez's cover of "Heartbeats" - best known for its use in a Sony Bravia commercial, but also from a memorable scene in the fourth season.
Tyler Hilton, guest star of OTH contributes a half-decent acoustic-y mid-tempo track, then to change things up again you've got a great Lupe Fiasco hip hop tune and Gym Class Heroes 80s-ish take on the Beach Boys 'Good Vibrations'. The Wreckers, another OTH guest group, has a relatively generic but enjoyable tune to round up the mid-section.
As I said, the last part of the album still has good tunes, but they're not quite as distinct - you don't have any standouts (in terms of style, not quality) like Jose Gonzalez or Lupe Fiasco. I'm personally a big fan of Iron & Wine although their tune here might turn a few fans off thanks to the opera bits. Also the last song is a tad toooo long for me...
Otherwise though, a great compilation - perfect for background music at parties or road trips of your own, whether a OTH fan or not.

I admit,I love the show,but overall,it music and of couse it soundtracks,but I must say that some of the choices made for the track selection are a little too easy:
Don't wait : way to obvious choice but great though.The perfect song to start the CD with. 4,5/5
stay away : not the best from the band,but after listening to it several times you get used to it. 4/5
naive : good choice,siuts very well with the show itself,but not so good song. 3/5
the funeral : one of the highlight from the CD,great choice!....5/5
heartbeats : just the same as naive,but a good song. 3.5/5
you'll ask me : not his best by far and I must say that I get a little tired of him.
i gotcha : not the usual OTH tune but really great choice,second highlight. 5/5
good vibrations : way too much Citizen Cope vibes for me,but an OK song. 4/5
lay me down : third highlight,love the band and Michelle Branch. 5/5
soon enough : beautiful song but unnoticed,too bad. 3/5
he lays in the rein : fourth highlight,such a beautiful and lyrical song. 5/5
tell me what it takes : the same as soon enough,plus the song's not so good as for the band which is supposed to be one of Luca's favorite...2.5/5
just be simple : could have been a highlight but way too obvious and passe choice. 4.5/5
world spins madly on : love the band ad the song,fifth highlight. 5/5
non-believer : the perfect choice which was to be made.the sound from the great episode,song to live and die by,reminds me so much of Peyton. The sixth and last but not least highligh fom the CD. 5/5
chloe dancer/crowns of thorns : not my favorite at all but Jason Shwartzman made such a moving speech telling us why he chose the song that we have to at least like it. 3.5/5
If you love the show and the previous soundtrack just buy it,if not,buy it cause you'll find something you love on it.
Free Music Review: One of the best TV soundtracks around
Hit: 4 Stars
Brilliant compilation, my favourite of the three One Tree Hill soundtracks by far. There is a great mix of melodies, beats and ideas on the cd, which makes it an interesting listen. My favourite track seems to change from week to week, but at the moment I am loving: Don't Wait (Dashboard Confessional), You'll Ask For Me (Tyler Hilton) and World Spins Madly On (The Weepies).
I hadn't heard of a lot of the artists before I bought this cd, but honestly it is fantastic. Give it a go, even if you aren't a big One Tree Hill fan (it isn't my favourite show, though it is quite addictive!)
Free Music Review: Good soundtrack for a good show

Good compilation of songs is what offers this CD. You will not be upset with it. There are songs that thrill me whenever I listen to them. This CD is not a masterpiece but it's worth being listened.
