I am a fan of the O.C. ; as much for the unique soundtracks it delivers, as the plot!! There have been some stellar soundtracks released in conjunction with the show, and this is no exception! Covering our Tracks is a reference to the fact that the series has showcased some unique cover tracks...probably one of the most memorable being the hauntingly good Hallelujah - the Jeff Buckley song, so expertly covered by artist Imogen Heap at the end of series 5 as Marissa dies; sadly this, an excellent rendition of the track is missing from this playlist as is Placebo's cover of Running up that hill - the Kate Bush track that helped open series 6; so though I love this CD, I am giving it 4/5 stars for leaving out to more than worthy renditions!! That said, this CD has a lot to offer - opening with Float on by Goldspot - as they provide a unique take on the Modest Mouse hit; this song is a favorite and one I can enjoy over and over again! mates of State cover Phantom Planets title track - California, making it mellow and soft, while never losing the integrity of the song! The Sex Pistols Track - Pretty Vacant - is taken to a new level by Lady Sovereign; but also the vocals are very different thanks to a female lead, it strongly retains its punk roots! Rogue Wave covers the Pixies Debaser...I like this, but my husband, a huge Pixies fan, did not find this a favorite!However, we both agreed on the quality of John Paul White's ELO cover of "Can't get it Out of my Head" which is sorrowful and serene and really stands out!! All in all, you get a unique edge to 12 tracks made popular by some mainstream and alternative acts; and delivered by some new faces...the only thing that would have made this even more complete would have been the addition of the two forementioned cover tracks...but nonetheless, this is a great addition to any music collection!Read full review
Great music for fans of the show. All of the must haves are gathered here on one entertaining compilation. Easy tunes to help you remember your favorite moments, characters, and scenes from the series. Good stuff and simple fun. A Seth Cohen collection in a nice little package!
I bought this cd because I love the Band of Hoses song at the end but overall this is a great cd of great bands covering other great bands! Love the songs and how different they are.
I like the series of OC disks as it is great background music to have on when you put all 6 disks on shuffle. The tone and feeling is the same throughout all the mixes. Very similar to the Grey's Anatomy music as well!
I have collected all of the mixes from the OC televesion show. They were all very good but this one is definitely close to the top of the list. I highly recommend it!
