Music reviews of Future Soundtrack for America

Music Review: very disappointing
Rating: 1 Stars

I own both editions of Rock Against Bush, and love them. Since this item was featured so predominently with them, I thought it would be similar. Boy was I wrong. It's a bunch of very slow, mostly acoustic nonsense. Very large disappointment, especially considering the work and style of the bands featured. It's like a compilation of their worst work ever (which would be why it's all so rare or previously unreleased).

Description of Future Soundtrack for America

There's nothing like the steady march of news these days to point out how much more focused on politics and world events Americans seem to be than at any time in recent memory. Musicians are no exception, and a group of some of the best American artists has come together to contribute to this joint project of Barsuk Records and the non-profit progressive organizations MoveOn.org and Music for America, in association with McSweeney's Publishing.

Conceived as a political fundraising CD by They Might Be Giants' John Flansburgh and then assembled by a small group of music industry volunteers, Future Soundtrack for America features new, exclusive and rare recordings from over 20 of today's best recording artists. Clocking in at over 78 minutes but making you want to listen again as soon as it's over, this is an extraordinary compilation. The spectacular array of artists who appear on the Soundtrack are: Blink-182, Bright Eyes, David Byrne, Laura Cantrell, Clem Snide, Death Cab for Cutie, Mike Doughty, The Flaming Lips, Fountains of Wayne, Jimmy Eat World, Ben Kweller, The Long Winters, Nada Surf, OK Go, Old 97's, R.E.M., Sleater-Kinney, They Might Be Giants, Tom Waits, will.i.am of The Black Eyed Peas, and Yeah Yeah Yeahs. In addition, the family of Elliott Smith contributed a mix of "A Distorted Reality Is Now A Necessity To Be Free" a song from Smith's as-yet-unreleased last record, and the first release of new material since his death in late 2003.

100% of Barsuk's profits from this CD will go to non-profit organizations working to involve more Americans in our political process, to advocate for ordinary people and traditional American values, and to help keep the United States a country all of us can be proud of.
