Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com

The nouveau Orange County, California, punk legacy kick-starts the soundtrack to Jake Kasdan's updated teen-hell comedy. The Offspring's newly recorded "Defy You" energetically explores their roots, and Social Distortion offer a live version of their trademark "Story of My Life." But that OC focus quickly gives way to a broad, buoyant collection of punk and hip-hop-inflected pop that includes a Green Day-ish new track by Foo Fighters ("The One") and equally hooky cuts by Cake, Lit, Bad Ronald, Quarashi, and Crazy Town. The album's emotional and musical shadings come courtesy of Pete Yorn's subdued "Lose You," the acoustic "Under the Tracks" by Creeper Lagoon, and Phantom Planet's anthemic "California," as well as a welcome pair of tracks ("Lay Down Burden," "Love and Mercy") by original SoCal Sound legend Brian Wilson. First pressings of the album also include a four-track bonus disc with songs by Zebrahead (the appropriate "O.C. Life"), Ill Kidd, the Ataris, and Riddlin' Kids. --Jerry McCulley

5.0 out of 5 stars 15th TRACK!, January 25, 2002

By	Kevin J. Daigle "ralphkjb" (Addis, LA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Like many others, I bought this CD because of The Offspring & Foo Fighters, but this CD has a lot of great songs. Some of my favorite tracks include: 12 Rods' "Glad That It's Over", Bad Ronald's "1st Time" and Phantom Planet's "California". I have written this review to let everyone know about the unlisted 15th track. Just so eveyone knows. it is NOT a hidden track. The song is called "Hello". It is performed by a band called SUGARBOMB. I know this because I stayed during the closing credits of the Orange County movie with my note pad and pen in hand. Just thought everyone would be interested.

4.0 out of 5 stars some great, some good, and some....., December 19, 2001

By	mex guy "saludos" (mexico) - See all my reviews

the soundtrack in general is good. It has great tunes and it has some others that with 1 listen it's enough.
This is mostly a rock album,, but it also includes some good slow tunes by pete yorn (a great one), creeper lagoon, and cake (another great one)

The rock songs are great, especially lit's "everything's cool", social distorsion's, foo figthers' and the bad ronald (not rock)...

I haven't heard the bonus cd completely, but it sounds good...

If you like the offspring's "defy you" and foo figthers' "the one", maybe you'll like the whole cd...

5.0 out of 5 stars track 15 of orange county soundtrack, August 21, 2003

By	Julie (New York, NY) - See all my reviews

The title of track 15 is "Hello" and it is by Sugarbomb. It is definitely the best song on the CD and simply in general, although I do love the entire CD. Buy it if you haven't already, and for everyone else who was confused about the title of the hidden track, spread the word! Ciao*
