At first, i passed up this cd for just being another movie soundtrack with weird songs. On closer inspection, however, i realized that it is one of the best cd's i own. i rate the tracks as follows:The Offspring-Defy You=10/10. This is the best track on the cd, and an absolute anthem to todays oppresed youth.
Social Distortion-Story of My Life(live)=8/10. this is a nice song, whick i enjoyed, but being live detracts from it somewhat.
Foo Fighters-The One=9.5/10. This is an excellent rock song that will become an instant classic.
Cake-Shaddow Stabbing=6.5/10. Not one of the better songs on here, cake always sounds a bit too country-ish.
Crazy Town-Butterfly=9/10. a cool song with a sexy summer beat and slow rap vocals.
Bad Ronald-1st Time=5/10. i have never heard of these people before and its apparent why. no need for this song.
Brian Wilson-Lay Down Burden=8/10. a slow, soft song that is a nice break in the soundtrack.
LIT-Everything's Cool=9/10. a classic punk/rock song that brings out the crazy guy in everyone.
12 Rods-Glad That It's Over=7.5/10. an okay punk song thats dragged down by sketchy vocals.
Quarashi-Stick 'Em Up=9.75/10. This song is easily the second- best track on the cd. Quarsashi sounds like a hybrid of the Beastie Boys, The Ramones, and Limp Bizkit, and they make it work
Pete Yorn-Lose You=7.75/10. not a bad track, a little slow, but sure to please fans.
Creeper Lagoon-Under the Tracks=8.5/10. A cool track with an acoustic sound that sounds like it came strait out of OC.
Brian Wilson-Love and Mercy=7/10. this song didn't really appeal to me. on this song, Brian sounds like ozzy, which isn't good since the song makes Train sound heavy.
Phantom Planet-California=8.75/10. PP's take on "California" is a nice SoCal sounding song that sounds very heartfelt and emotional.
Bonus Track-9/10. I really like this song, though i don't know who performs it or what its called. it sounds like a mix between "California" and "Under the Tracks".
