Editorial Reviews

Product Description

Bursting with Killer Tunes, Like Bloc Party’s ‘positive Tension’ and Yeah, Yeah, Yeahs ‘date with the Night’ and Dripping with Heavy Beats Such as Roots Manuva ‘witness the Fitness’ and Tricky’s ‘hell around the Corner’, the 19-track Album is a Fusion of Talent. Of Course the "Skins" Soundtrack Would Not Be Complete Without the Signature Tune, Gossip’s ‘standing in the Way of Control’, with Its Thumping Drums and Catchy Hook. This Track Alone Sums Up Skins - Teens Living it Up and Having a Good Time. The Closing Track on the Album ‘wild World’ is also of Note as it is Sung by Cast Member Mike Bailey who Plays Lovelorn Sid, the Guy who Can’t Lose his Virginity. The Song is a Cover of the Classic Cat Stevens Track, and Re-entered the Top 40 Earlier 2007 on the Back of it Being Sung on the Show.

5.0 out of 5 stars Bring the Skins DVDs to the US, April 15, 2008

By	name unknown "never average" (NC, USA) - See all my reviews

I've listened to the album, watched the show and loved every minute of both. I would pay to watch them again, but I am glad I found it on youtube. Skins is a teen show that is more realistic, it does take some exaggeration at times, than American late teen dramas. Why is it the Brits know how to make a quality show and the US can't?

5.0 out of 5 stars A great addition to your teen drama or hip music collection, January 31, 2009

By	AndyGirl (Los Angeles, Ca) - See all my reviews

I feel like my music collection got cooler just with this one CD. Also, not only is this a great compilation of incredibly eclectic music, but the liner notes include the story points that correspond to each song. A must have for any fan of Skins.

5.0 out of 5 stars I love this cd!!, August 17, 2009

I love the show skins, so I decided to buy the soundtrack. I love how many different genre's of music are on it. It didnt take long to be delivered, and it wasn's over priced. I am glad I bought it because I enjoy listening to it.
