The Rocker: Music From The Motion Picture (CD, Jul-2008, Columbia USA)

Quick delivery, exactly as advertised. Dealing with a seller that is quick and will answer any questions, is how I want to do business.

There's not much to talk about. If you liked the music in the movie, then it would explain why you would by the soundtrack. The only thing I would change is that Vesuvius is credited with the two songs from the movie, but, the other music is credited to Teddy Geiger (the singer for A.D.D.) I really thought that they should have put those songs as A.D.D. songs.

UPSIDE: All of the music performed in the movie is on this soundtrack. The are fun little ditty's that stay in your head which may have you humming them most of the day.

DOWNSIDE: If you like any of the other songs played in the movie...Nobodies Fool, Feels like the first time, etc. then you will be disappointed because they are not on this sound track.

I personally loved the film, and thought that the music in it was one of the anchors for its quality, and in fact, they work perfectly in the movie. Of course, by themselves, some of it's shine wears off, but by themselves, they're a collection of great pop/rock songs, that are simple, but catchy, sunny and fun.

Considering Geiger probably wrote most of the songs himself, with not a ton of time or effort put into them, it's pretty good, and especially good for a soundtrack. Sure, they're not groundbreaking, and Geiger's work is perfect for the Radio Disney crowd, and the Vesuvius work is like a tribute to every bad hair band from the 80s, and is like a AC/DC B-side.
Composer Chad Fischer's upbeat and guitar-centered score is condensed to a suite, but it's a very well-done suite at that, with some great music in there.

Overall, for a highly underrated film, a highly underrated soundtrack, and if you loved the film, I highly recommend you pick up this work as well, or even if you're a Teddy Geiger fan, it's a very well-done soundtrack considering what they probably had to work with.

This should have just been Teddy Gieger's album since almost all songs on there are preformed by him. It's a great CD that I enjoy hearing from start to finish.
