Editorial Reviews

You don't have to be a gamer to enjoy the soundtrack to Stubbs the Zombie, but you do need a taste for irony, mixed with a moderate helping of kitsch. The concept is simple yet entertaining: hire a handful of very well-known "alternative bands," (The Flaming Lips, Death Cab, The Dandy Warhols) and have them rock to the oldies. Cake's "Strangers in the Night" is the best track hands down--you'll definitely want to spin this at your next cocktails-and-Halo-soiree--followed by the Ravonettes' "My Boyfriend's Back" (which also appears on Pretty in Black). But everyone does a fine job. These are songs that most people know like the back of their hands, so no big surprises--just a few giggles. Pop it into the disc player and enjoy... with or without brains. --Leah Weathersby

i want to be a zombie.......2007-05-10

Wow, it's amazing what you'll find in clearance bins at record stores. I was browsing cds yesterday and came across this soundtrack. I'm a fan of oldies and when I saw the titles that were being covered, by the bands that were covering them, I knew I had to pick this up. This is easily one of the best cover albums I've heard. My favorite tracks are Lollipop, My Boyfriend's Back, Mr. Sandman, and Tears on My Pillow. I've never even heard of the video game but now I want to play it! Buy this if you're a fan of classic 50's & 60's or indie rock. Plus, you know this has to be good if it's put out by SHOUT factory. They released my beloved Freaks & Geeks dvd boxed set :)

Stubbs The Zombie: The Soundtrack.......2007-02-12

Half of the songs were worthless, could not be listened to again.

Rockin.......2006-11-18

Except for the inane Flaming Lips song, this album is great. Rose Hill Drive's version of Johnny Kidd and the Pirates' "Shakin' All Over" is the hardest rocker on there, a definite departure from the original. "Mr Sandman" is a must-hear, also harder than the original but totally groovy. The Cake song is also awesome as is the Walkmen cover. You will not regret getting this disc.

Not too Shabby........2006-08-01

This album is easily recommendable to anyone who either enjoys covers or indie rock. If you see one band you enjoy on the track list, there's a good probabability you will enjoy the entire album. It is a good break from the norm. Maybe not for everyone, but it is worth a shot. Very cool.

Very Well Done!!!!!.......2006-02-03

I'm not a fan of any of the bands featured on this soundtrack but I must admit they did a good job at covering these 50's classics. "Earth Angel", "Lollipop" and "Mr. Sandman" are just some of the standouts. Classic songs with an updated touch. Buy it!!
