Smallville soundtrack is one of the best soundtracks i listened to last year...in fact here is the list of outstanding tracks in the album. Save Me by Remy Zero- since its the theme for the series (Everytime I hear this song it somehow reminds me of the opening credits of Smallville). Even though im not a huge fan...
Weezer- Island In The Sun (Oh well, this band never fails to amuse me...of course who will ever forget "Buddy Holly" and "Sweater".) . The Flaming Lips- Fight Test (If youve never heard of them remember "She Don't Use Jelly"?). Sixpence None The Richer- Don't Dream It's Over (A Crowded House Original). Even if This Single already appeared on "Divine Discontent" Album its still worthy to listen to. An excellent album. Add it up to your cd shelves now... Buy it with any Sixpence Album. You wont regret it.

This cd was one that I bought with doubts but since listening to it, I cannot stop. I'll put it in while driving in the car and it is just 'perfect'.

Smallville makes me like superman more than i ever have ... and i was a comic book geek for years. the songs are well chosen and i love that about tv shows like this one -- someone takes the time and cares. Alias (BUY the DVDs, Watch it on Sundays) is one of the few others like this right now, though only a score cd has been released (awesome in its own right ...) I'm not much of a top 40, alt-rock or pop fan, but i can't get enough of the remy zero theme. my biggest complaint is the omission, for whatever reason, of "God Is A DJ" by FAITHLESS (check out their album SUNDAY 8PM and their newest, NO ROOTS) The song WAS the soundtrack for the episode ZERO (about Lex and Club Zero, of course) and I had hoped inclusion here would expose more people to their brilliance. A shame America feeds such trite pop to its youth over the radio (do people REALLY listen to that stuff anymore? 10 songs over and over, whiny, annoying "DJs" who have been in that studio since the 80s, and more commercials than music) . Anyway, enjoy this ... and check out the others listed above. good times. ;)

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.

I guess maybe I'm too old for the music on this CD, #1 "Save Me" by Remy Zero was just about my favorite tune. A couple of other tunes did all right, I think #11"Everything" by Lifehouse was one of those, but most didn't do much for me. Some people like #12 "Time after Time" by Eva Cassidy, I think the Cyndi Lauper version was better.
This CD has the strangest manner of enhancement I've run across, it appears that you can't listen to the music list on your PC the way I can with most if not all of my other enhanced CD's. You'll get a music video or two (but not Remy Zero's "Save Me", a short slide gallery & some other stuff. When I tried it out I found the online access to be very slow loading so the faster the connection you have the better. There's an interactive map with points of interest in Smallville (but not the Kent home & a few other bits I would expect), not the easiest thing to navigate, click on icons to bring up fake web pages for each. I tried the one for the Talon and the Luthor mansion, the Talon was OK - the Luthor mansion webpage included a slow loading, for me,but interresting looking Quicktime VR tour of the house.
I also noticed that the exclusive access weblink on the CD was smallville.net but that what you ended up arriving at was http://smallville.warnerbros.com, save that & you don't seem to need the CD for access.
