As befits a cult TV show about three sisters who happen to be powerful witches, this collection of tracks associated with Charmed is heavy on the alt-girls, starting with the mother of them all, Liz Phair. Her "Baby Got Going" (from 1998's undervalued whitechocolatespaceegg) got a modernized Bo Diddley strut that gets things going on a jaunty foot. What's weirder is that the others--Sarah McLachlan, Chantal Kreviazuk, Natalie Imbruglia, Beth Orton, Eddie Reader, and Conjure One featuring Sinéad O'Connor--tend to lean more heavily toward a soulful, slightly reserved singer-songwriter mode: the girls don't really rock on this soundtrack, which is kinda odd since the witches themselves kick butt. Thankfully, one of the show's own stars comes to the rescue. Tucked in the middle of the CD is "Superfabulous" by trance star BT, with sultry guest vocals by Charmed's own Rose McGowan--who, based on this track, could have a great career recording Euro-style dance-floor stompers if she ever gets tired of acting. --Elisabeth Vincentelli

Many excellent songs on this cd. Before I bought it, I was listening to the song clips provided by Amazon, after I listened to about 2 seconds of song #11, I immediately added this cd to the shopping cart and completed the order. This song is the one being played during Prue's funeral, and I have been looking for this song for a long time. All the songs are excellent. A++++++++++, this is an excellent tribute to this great show!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Surprisingly Good, July 28, 2006

This review is from: Charmed: The Final Chapter (Audio CD)

You wouldn't necessarily expect a "Charmed" soundtrack to be so good, but it is! I'm a fan of the show, not a huge fan, but I think anyone who watches "Charmed" probably also likes the music on the show. Not every song on this soundtrack has been featured in an episode (to my recollection, anyway), but they've all got that contemporary pop/rock girl power sound like the music often featured on the show. The best tracks are those by Liz Phair, Collective Soul, Sarah McLachlan, Chantal Kreviazuk, Natalie Imbruglia, Beth Orton and Eddie Reader. "Bell, Book & Candle" was the song that played during Prue's funeral. I had always wondered what song that was (it's a little haunting and sad), so I'm glad they included it on the soundtrack. The Collective Soul song is particularly good and in parts is a very beautiful song. If you're a fan of the show, if you liked the previous soundtracks or if you just like this genre of music in general, I would highly recommend this soundtrack.

5.0 out of 5 stars Charmed Fan Or Not, Still A Great Soundtrack., July 21, 2006

Whether your a Charmed fan or not, you must admit they have one of the best selections of music. From their theme song to their weekly songs after the opening.

For this final selection, they have picked songs form unknowns, up and coming artistes and some familiar artistes like Sarah McLachlan and Liz Phair, who has been on previous Charmed soundtracks.

A real treat for Charmed fans, is that Rose McGowan, has a track on this cd, which makes this paticular selection more personal, and more "Charmed".

It's true that some songs don't really fit in with the theme of these songs, but hey, they're still great songs.

When listening to some of the songs, you might just recall some scenes from the show. For example, Weight Of The World by Chantal Kreviazuk, I personally remember seeing a scene of the Golden Gate Bridge, flying past. Which is good, because that's what soundtrack should do, remind you of the show.

Although I do wish that they had added the instrumental, the one they play end of every show.

I think the producers did a good job on this soundtrack and more props to them.

Finally, Charmed fan or not, love it or hate it, you should still buy it. If it's not for the show, just buy it for the songs! Defiantly worth your money.
