Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
While the soundtrack to the first season of Showtime's lesbian-themed dramatic series set the tone for the show's emotionally-rooted, if ever-eclectic musical sensibility, the choices here often have a more nervy, contemporary edge. Dusty Springfield's ‘60s blue-eyed soul classic "Just a Little Lovin'" offers an alluring lead in, but quickly fast forwards to the Siouxsie-channeling, retro-new wave spunk of Organ's "Brother," the electrobeat sass of "Playgirl" by Ladytron and Martina Topley-Bird's spare, moody "Ilya." Heart makes a similarly intimate contribution via "No Other Love," while Shawn Colvin's familiar "Sunny Came Home" and Iron & Wine's "Naked As We Came" offer islands of relative calm in the midst of more electric fare like the club-punk of LeTigre's "On the Verge" and slinky, post-modern melodrama of "Where Do I Begin" by Shirley Bassey and awayTEAM. BETTY's alt-pop fueled, snark-smart show theme closes the set, and BETTY also collaborates with Pam Grier on a sexually dizzy cover of "Some Kind of Wonderful." --Jerry McCulley

This CD was really awesome. It had a better variety of songs than in the first season which was mediocre compared to this one! I love track number four.

I watch the L word every Sunday, can't miss it and neither can my friends, not because we're all lesbians, some of us are and some aren't but because the issues they deal with in the show are the same issues that we all deal with in real life. I would even throw men into that mix (see Shane, Bette). It's great that this years soundtrack came out early. We can now wonder what scenes the songs will be in. I love that it features more of a rockergrrl feel yet still has beautiful and heart-wrenching songs like No Other Love and Love Is Everything (I HAVE BEEN FANTASIZING ABOUT WHAT SCENES THESE SONGS WILL BE FEATURED IN) I bet (& hope) these two will be Bette and Tina songs. I also loved last seasons soundtrack and still play it in my car to and from work at least once a day! It's also a GREAT date CD, I think last years was a soundtrack for loving and this one is a soundtrack for _______ ..... well, I'll let you fill that last word in once you get the soundtrack!

Format:Audio CD
sorry, but the theme song to this season's The L Word
was awful. It lacked any edge and sadly sounded as
though it was recorded in a garage. For a dynamic
show like this that is supposed to be breaking
boundaries for Lesbians, this theme song was a bad
choice. I'm sorry, but whenever i hear that song i
cringe. The wording is good, but the vocals,
production and song itself is just not anywhere near
the stature that the show is. For a prime show like
this, it needed a theme song that complimented it.
This only brings the show down.
The other songs on the CD though are good and as back
up and extra songs are fine.
It's upsetting though that the producers chose to have
"1" artist create, choose and put together all the
music for the season. I heard the same song played in
10000 different ways all throughout the
show's season. Why not use other lesbian music from great
young artist's? Why just the music from one? Isn't
the point to raise awareness about lesbians whether
that be as a lifestyle or artistic expression?
Other Lesbian musicians should have been considered as
a theme song. The producers should have looked at up
and coming young musician's that are breaking the
scene and making waves with the world like this show
is. For instance, L.A.'s PEP (www.pepmusic.com), NY's
Amy Fix (www.amyfix.com), Lisa Koch (heylisa.com).
Lot's of great timeless music from up and coming
lesbian musician's, yet none of this is used.
Disappointing in that respect as we should be
showcasing and promoting lesbian's rather than using
one artist to create all the music for an entire
season.
Just my two cents.

Outstanding, up-to-date background music, with just a touch of lesbian chick. A great collection, and it furthers the cause!

Not the first season soundtrack, but very good anyway.
I really love most of the songs on the album. There are maybe four that I don't listen to. It's not as good as their first, but it has a good mix of girl bands. Read more
