Sconefest 9: The Soundtrack

The Official Soundtrack for Sconefest 9: The Farewell Party was finally released this week, putting to rest months of speculation surrounding its contents. Like the previous Sconefest albums, the latest mixes classic rock with the more modern fair and even has a little foreign flavor. It also kicks things off with the mellow "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" by Israel Kamakawiwo'ole, as sort of a tribute to Sconefest 5's Opening "What a Wonderful World" by Louie Armstrong. Below is the track list. Somewhere Over the Rainbow - Iz American Pie - Don McLean I Am a Rock - Simon & Garfunkel I Would Do Anything for Love - Meat Loaf Stairway to Heaven - Led Zeplin Superman - The Kinks Take Me Out - Franz Ferdinand Somebody Told Me - The Killers Cells - The Servant Pain - Jimmy Eat World Smells Like Teen Spirit - Nirvana Extreme Ways - Moby Sera - Legiao Urbana Besame Mucho - The Beatles Golden Brown - The Stranglers Concrete and Clay - Unit 4 + 2 Butterfly - Weezer Mbira - Los Angeles Guitar Quartet Free Love Freeway - Ricky Gervais The reviews are mixed. Many critics are questioning the timing of the release. Sconefest 9 took place nearly two years ago, but the soundtrack is only now getting to market. Still, reviews of the album itself are mostly positive as the majority of critics would agree it fits along side the with the other six albums.
