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.
  1. Somewhere Over the Rainbow - Iz
  2. American Pie - Don McLean
  3. I Am a Rock - Simon & Garfunkel
  4. I Would Do Anything for Love - Meat Loaf
  5. Stairway to Heaven - Led Zeplin
  6. Superman - The Kinks
  7. Take Me Out - Franz Ferdinand
  8. Somebody Told Me - The Killers
  9. Cells - The Servant
  10. Pain - Jimmy Eat World
  11. Smells Like Teen Spirit - Nirvana
  12. Extreme Ways - Moby
  13. Sera - Legiao Urbana
  14. Besame Mucho - The Beatles
  15. Golden Brown - The Stranglers
  16. Concrete and Clay - Unit 4 + 2
  17. Butterfly - Weezer
  18. Mbira - Los Angeles Guitar Quartet
  19. 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.
