Stubbs The Zombie: The Soundtrack

Hearing these oldies ressurected (haha, get it?) in the form of transformed indie-rock covers is nothing short of a delight. "Lonesometown" is by far my favourite track.

I've noticed a recurring pattern in the theme of these reviews: the reviewers haven't played the game, but still love the soundtrack. That's all well and good with me, but I got the game the day it came out and played it through in about 9 hours. Not only is the game positively incredible (it actually includes a Parapa-esque zombie dance-off to four of these songs), but it is altogether complimented by this amazing collection of oldies-cum-newies.

a collection of incredible music pulled from the Oldies! Aspyr Media's producer Zach Rener does an excellent job of making this one of the best compilation albums of 2005.

Songs such as Rogue Wave's "Everyday" and Milton Mapes' "Lonesome Town" get a new, hazy-lazy-day feel to them that is both touching and inspiring. On the other end of the spectrum, Phantom Planet's "The Living Dead" and Rose Hill Drive's "Shakin' All Over" get an updated, funk-rock sound which reminds the listener what "psychedelic" means.

Overall, this album is a great mix of pop and alt-funk, with some lovely lounge sounds to keep us interested. It is not often a game soundtrack can hold its own. This album does just that.

Overall good assortment of songs...
I like how many artists gave their renditions...
If you like this... Give "The Bird has Flown" a shot...
Both CDs have Ben Kweller on them.
Worthwhile listen for old and young....
