Music reviews of Smallville, Vol. 2: Metropolis Mix
Music Review: A very good, balanced follow-up to the terrific "Talon Mix"
Rating: 5 Stars
I purchased "Smallville: Vol. 2 - Metropolis Mix" on a whim. I've been a huge fan of the show since I bought the Season One DVD a few months ago, and one of the things I love the most about the show is the music. I was unfamiliar with most of the songs on this album, but hey - it was Smallville, so I decided to pick it up.
The album gets off to a good start with Breaking Benjamin's "Forget It", an unspectacular but likable song. Depeche Mode's new hit "Precious" follows. It's a good song that gets old after a while. The next track, "You and Me (Wedding Version)" by Lifehouse, is one of the highlights of the album. I love Lifehouse, and "You and Me" is one of their best songs.
Stereophonics' "Superman" - the second song with that title to appear on "Smallville" - is one of my favorite songs on the album. The next song, The All-American Rejects' "Dirty Little Secret", is a fine song despite being overplayed on the radio. Josh Kelley's "Almost Honest" is a well-done song, but it just doesn't stand out in my mind. The always fun Dandy Warhols contribute "All The Money Or The Simple Life Honey (Remix)", a nice little tune. Brendan Benson's "Cold Hands (Warm Heart)" is one of the album's better songs.
"The Girl's Attractive" by Diamond Nights sounds like a lost Billy Idol tune - which isn't necessarily a bad thing. One of the more catchy tunes on the album is Flashlight Brown's "I'm A Human", which is followed by Him's enjoyably rocked-out cover of Chris Isaak's "Wicked Game". KT Tunstall's "Other Side of the World" is another highlight of the album, somewhat reminescent of a Coldplay song.
Minnie Driver's cover of "Hungry Heart" is definitely a change from Bruce Springsteen's original, taking that sing-along tune and turning it into a sad, broken-hearted love song. Finally, the album closes off with Rascal Flatt's "Feels Like Today".
"The Metropolis Mix" is a very good, balanced follow-up to the terrific "Talon Mix". It may not be superior, but "Smallville" fans will certainly enjoy it.
Description of Smallville, Vol. 2: Metropolis Mix
With the same alternative-pop theme as the first Smallville collection, this second disc once again reveals just how much the show integrates music into its plot lines and overall feel. The track list includes familiar songs such as the All American Rejects' "Dirty Little Secret," and Depeche Mode's newest hit "Precious," but there are also a few surprises. The Alan Moulder remix of the Dandy Warhols' "All The Money Or Simple Life Honey" is a booty-shaking blast, while the rock-meets-goth cover of Chris Isaak's "Wicked Game" courtesy of HIM is an amusingly amped-up new take on the older tune. Actress-songstress Minnie Driver offers her light jazz take on Springsteen's "Hungry Heart" (which also appeared on her debut disc), and Lifehouse delivers their touching version of "You and Me," while Josh Kelley's "Almost Honest" could be the soundtrack to anybody's breakup or breakdown. It's true that many of these songs have been previously released, but Smallville fans are a devoted bunch who will likely appreciate being able to buy their favorite tracks on one disc. --Denise SheppardAlternative Rock CDs
