Just like Dr. House himself, the soundtrack to the hit TV series manages to be both eclectic and brilliant, with a definite edge. The TV show frequently features a song that captures the feel of the episode, and this collection presents a representative selection of those pieces.
The album features some amazing tracks -- Michael Penn's "Walter Reed" is a bittersweet yet powerful ballad. Amazingly enough, Elvis Costello's cover of Christina Aguilara's "Beautiful" manages to work despite its unlikely heritage. The final song, a cover of the Stones classic "You Can't Always Get What You Want" featuring Hugh Laurie (Dr. House), Greg Grunberg (of "Heroes") and several other TV notables adds a nice laid-back feel to the album. Of course, the main title theme, Massive Attack's "Teardrop" leads off the album -- those who have never heard the full track will find it to be a great chillout piece on its own right.
Like the show, the mood of the soundtrack is often less than cheerful. However, there isn't a bad track on the album, and some of the tracks are incredibly poignant. "Walter Reed" is rapidly becoming one of my personal favorites. This isn't necessarily an uplifting soundtrack, but fans of the show will enjoy the selection of pieces evocative of one of television's best shows.
Amazon's digital download technology works flawlessly, even on a Mac. The Amazon downloader even helpfully deposited all the songs into iTunes. The low cost, lack of restrictive DRM, and hassle-free downloading make Amazon's MP3 Downloads the best digital download service on the net.

Upfront I like the House soundtrack a lot.
However it is only 12 musical cuts, including Tear Drop (the Theme from House) by Massive Attack. I wanted a few House-isms with his satire and wit, sprinkled in this CD..However this was not to pass.
The CD seems too quick and I needed to more. However, the last cut on this CD seems to answer me when I say I want more, and it is like House speaking to me musically... You Can't Always Get What You Want, performed by Hugh Lurie's band, Band from TV
The soundtrack is not a hit driven musical pieces. These 12 cuts fit the House tome. The music is somber and bittersweet, just like the show. A problem is they dont say what episode these songs were it..that still doesn't mean the music isnt good
If you heard this soundtrack and never knew It was The House MD soundtrack, you will enjoy the music just the same..and that is what you buy a CD for

Just as it reads above the soundtrack has finally come out! I admit I wish they had more songs on here or released the music by season, but still the selections they have are quite nice. I'm really happy to see "Beautiful" by Elvis Costello on here as I thought he did a fabulous cover of the song! All in all a good mix, but if you have a favorite and just want the one I'd head over to iTunes.
Check out the official House website on Fox and get a free download from the album!
Also, if you interested in the songs from the show and like iTunes check out my iMix which is updated to Season Five. Type in: Fox House M.D. TV Soundtrack

No Losers Here/ The Doctor is IN
A really interesting mix of songs used on seasons 1-3 of House.
I don't think there's anything I hate so much that I'm forced to skip it, except for maybe the song... Read more

Needs more songs
These are great. But, I can give an example of just one episode where there could have been three or four more songs added. Read more

hoping for more blues/jazz
I'm a relatively new viewer to the show and have enjoyed the tidbits of blues. Was disappointed this that this album didn't contain them but it's a good album just the same.

Did not do much research regarding songs on cd. Yes, I was disappointed. Maybe a third of the music was to my liking. The cd itself was in good condition. Read more
