Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com

"Highly emotional, excitable, and driven" is how the official Felicity Web site describes the TV drama's title character. If only that side of the precocious teenager were more often reflected on this soundtrack album. Stultifying slow, midtempo balladry with often painful lyrical imagery is the rule here; too rarely do classic Aretha Franklin and Peter Gabriel tracks (and more recent ones by Neil Finn and Ivy) relieve the overwhelmingly "sensitive" atmosphere fostered by Heather Nova, Joan Jones, and series costar Amy Jo Johnson. --Rickey Wright

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant! A must for any Felicity fan., December 26, 2002

This soundtrack is awesome and I only wish I would have purchased it sooner. Although I'm not sure if I've heard any of the songs on the album during the show, besides Amy Jo Johnson's "Puddle of Grace" the soundtrack is successful at recreating the emotion of Felicity Seasons 1 & 2.

For me the best track is Amy Jo Johnson's "Puddle of Grace." A song which she wrote for her mother and performed on Felicity episode "The Fugue." Ever since I heard it the very first time on Felicity, I fell in love with this song.

However, the entire soundtrack is great. Heather Nova, Sara McLachlan, Joan Jones, Morley, Peter Gabriel, and Kate Bush all fit great onto this soundtrack as do the other artists. Plus, you have 1 minute and 15 seconds of the original Felicity theme!

3.0 out of 5 stars Not what I hoped for, the Felicity soundtrack, November 1, 2000

By	Amy, Tatting & Cosmetics Host, Wedding Guru (Fairlawn, OH USA) - See all my reviews

is a little too angsty and slow-moving for me. I like the first four songs, especially Sarah McLachlan's 'Good Enough' and Heather Nova's 'Heart and Shoulder,' but the middle of the CD gets mired down. I'd like to have seen more songs along the lines of Aretha Franklin's cover of 'Bridge Over Troubled Water'. It's nice to have the Felicity theme song and a song by Amy Jo Johnson, but with the new theme song this season I hope they release a second CD with some more upbeat tunes.

5.0 out of 5 stars Versatile, smart, fresh and classic all rolled into one CD., August 18, 1999

By A Customer

The versatility of this album is it's charm. The entire album is lyrically flawless, the rhythms can be soft melodic, or upbeat and irresistable. The heart of the album is cast member Amy Jo Johnson who sings the priceless gem 'Puddle of Grace' with perfection. Other highlights are Sarah McLachlan's 'Good Enough', Ivy performing ' I've Got a Feeling' is quite possibly the album's best song.the introduction is Neil Finn's wonderfully optimistic 'She Will Have Her Way', Arethra adds classic style, Scout potrays regret, and Peter Gabriel's "Here Comes the Flood' is nearly tear reducing. All in all this soundtrack is a must have
