Customer Reviews of Smallville

Excellent but something's missing
If you're a fan of the Smallville series you'll notice one glaring omission from this CD: The Calling's "Wherever You Will Go" This was played in Episode 2 when Clark was returning Lana's kryptonite necklace. To many people, that was the show's "anthem," if you wish, that captured everything about Clark's feelings for Lana.

Otherwise, this is a pretty representative CD of the show. The banner songs are there: Remy Zero's "Save Me" and Five For Fighting's "Superman". Von Ray's "Inside Out" and Weezer's "Island In The Sun" take you back into the halls of Smallville High. Sixpence's "Don't Dream It's Over" is a remarkable remake version I think, very much the Talon experience! My personal favorite is Eva Cassidy's "Time After Time" rendition, sang during Whitney's father's funeral. What an emotional rendition!

I'm not as enthusiastic with the inclusion of Phantom Planet's "Lonely Day" and The Flaming Lips' "Fight Test" though. Maybe it's because I can't really remember or put these songs into their proper episodes. Which brings me back to my first complaint about how songs such as "Wherever You Will Go" should probably have been in this disc. But that's just me.

The CD is an enhanced version that you pop into your CD-Rom to access the first issue of the Smallville comic book, chapters from the Smallville novels, a 3D interactive map of Smallville, Lex's mansion, the Talon, and the Kent farm, live performances by Von Ray and Remy Zero (NOT Save Me though) and a trading card. You either get Lana, Lex or Clark.

Overall it's a must have for every Smallville fan! It brings you back to remembering special moments in the episodes!

A Super Soundtrack for a Super Show
I just bought the CD today and it's wonderful! The show is one of the best retellings of the Superman legend. Here is a breakdown of the songs:

1. Save Me - Remy Zero (The Opening Theme, Remy Zero's straight ahead rocker, awesome song!)

2. Inside Out - VonRay
3. Island In The Sun - Weezer
4. Superman - Five For Fighting (Of Course, No Superman Soundtrack should be without this song. It's filled with wonder of a Superman knowing that he's got powers but is human at heart.)
5. Nuclear - Ryan Adams
6. Lonely Day - Phantom Planet
7. Fight Test - The Flaming Lips
8. Don't Dream It's Over - Sixpence None The Richer (A cover of the 80's hit by Crowded House - But it's given a softer alt. touch, but works for the CD)
9. Wave Goodbye - Steadman
10. I Just Wanna Be Loved - AM Radio
11. Everything - Lifehouse (Used at the end of the Pilot ep. It expresses Clark's feelings for Lana at the beginning of the 1st season. It's a beautiful moving song)
12. Time After Time - Eva Cassidy (From the late Eva Cassidy, comes this haunting beautiful version of the Cindy Lauper hit. Eva's vocals make this song touching.)

The 12 Tracks are current hip songs, but they do make up the musical history of Smallville. If your a fan of Today's Pop Rock, Smallville, or any of WB's great shows. You'll really enjoy this soundtrack!

Smallville fan here likes the music from the show
Hey, I'm a Smallville fan. This is the best tv to come along since Star Trek, and it's actually all I watch on television, which in our house stays dark except for Wednesday night and well, sometimes on Thursday if there's a good wrestling match on. (Ugh, not MY choice.)

WB makes no bones about featuring music to enhance its hit television show "Smallville." They promote the music after each show, but at least it's some of the best of the new "alternative rock."

My particular favorites are Five for Fighting's "Superman", the cut by Steadman, and of course the incomparable Eva Cassidy (Time after Time.) The funny thing is the theme by Remy Zero. Listen to their intro album "Remy Zero" and it's pretty lame. But the "Save Me" theme from Smallville is incredibly good. This is a must for Smallville fans to revel in.
