This is just another collection of pop music, labeled as a soundtrack with the pretense of cramming the music into the show. The background music and ambient soundscapes of the show, totally lacking from this album, would surely be more pleasant listening, and if you're looking for the real music of the show, this "soundtrack" is sure to leave you cold.

This is not a bad attempt at a soundtrack album for a teen tv show. I mean how many tv soundtracks feature a duet with Chuck D and MC Lyte? Although they are two of the most talented mc's that hip hop has to offer, they aren't exactly considered maistream in today's InSync, Nelly, Britney Spears era. Kudos to FOX for bringing the two together.

There are some filler songs on here, certain songs that I can definitely do without. But to get to the few gems on this cd it is worth fast forwarding the rest. Songs that stand out for me are "Dark Angel Theme", "No Dealz", "Candy", "The Life" and "The One".

I have been waiting for a duet with Chuck D and Mc Lyte. Their voices blend beautifully on "Dark Angel Theme" bringing me back to hip hop's late 80's/early 90's golden era. My friends and I have been bumpin' this song non-stop! A tv show theme? Yes! It is definitely more hardcore PUBLIC ENEMY than mainstream tv show. The banjos on Mc Lyte's "No Dealz" really make this track stand out. Her voice sounds better than ever and I hope this is the first of many new songs to come from her! "Candy" and "The Life" were both put out previous to this album but seem to work here as well. "The One" totally fits into the Dark Angel theme. It's mysterious and actually quite bangin' for a love song. I am pleasantly suprised.

I guess a tv soundtrack can't get much better than this. And this cd is worth getting for the hisoric theme song alone.

I'm not normally a hip-hop fan, and I was surprised to find that every track on this album appealed to me in some sort of way. The soundtrack truly fit to the show, because I could imagine the music playing as a backdrop to the tough characters on Dark Angel. There were several tracks I took an instant liking to. For example, the Dark Angel theme, which I heard completely on the second-to-last episode this season for the first time, it is a wonderful mix of Chuck D and MC Lyte- Both make the song memorable and beautiful. Another one was Candy, by Foxy Brown featuring Kellis. The rhythm and of course, the cocky lyrics, fit Max and Alec to a T. Bring It To Me, via Samantha Cole, is definitely the upbeat song that is as ballad-y as Max and Logan's relationship will ever get. The remix is even better, and the rest of the tracks are excellent. As a reminder, I am NOT a hip-hop fan. But this album genuinely has an all-around appeal.

Am I the only Dark Angel fan here who actually watched the show? The so-called soundtrack is an aiight hip-hop album, but as a soundtrack, it's one of the worst. It's only got two song on it that were actually used on the show and they didn't even get the theme song right! The REAL theme is by Chuck D and G-Wiz. I made a soundtrack of songs actually used on the show and I like it much better...

4-stars fot the show, the mucic soundtrack I just listened to here Im not so crazy about.
Yes, like Brandon Lee below, I am trying to ID the music in final credits of Dark Angel, please post if anyone can help, thanks...

There was supposed to be an album for "Popular," but the show got cancelled before it could be put out. I can't bring myself to buy it (though it does have the vocal version of Chuck D and Gary G-Wiz's theme, which was only heard in the penultimate episode); had this included some of Joel McNeely's scores for the show, it would have been a different matter. (There is in fact a release of McNeely music, but only a bootleg.)

I was so excited my I got my Dark Angel Soundtrack cd I couldn't wait to listen to it, but at the same time I was hoping I won't be skipping through alot of the songs. When I played the CD, it took me by surprise...The Dark Angel Theme with Chuck D and MC Lyte, dang...That song is the bomb!!! It made me hype up about the show and the fact that it is a great song. And another song called "The One", those two songs really tells all about what "Dark Angel" is all about. This really is a great CD for a great show. I just hope "Dark Angel" will be around for a while, so we can keep talking about how great the show and the soundtrack are.

Hi, quite nice hiphop songs, btw, does anyone know what is the song they play when they play the credits at the end.?

This soundtrack is great, the music chosen is great, the TV show is the best thing on tv. If you havent seen it you are missing out on the best television series on tv

I bought this album cuz I'm a Dark Angel fan but after listening to it, I'm hooked. I usually don't listen to hip hop and rap but these songs are so awsome! I love all of them!
