Various Artists - American Pie 2 OST

Well I am not usually to thrilled with soundtarcks, I mean sure there are usually a couple good songs, but then the rest of the record sucks. However, the American Pie 2 Soundtrack is somewhat of an exception. The CD has punk feel to it, mainly due to tracks from the well known Blink 182, Green Day, Fenix*Tx, SUM 41, and others, but that is a good thing because I like punk. Throw in some Alien Ant Farm and American HiFi and you have a pretty good soundtrack. My main problem with the American Pie 2 Soundtrack is that there aren't enough new songs on the album. I mean sure it is great to hear SUM 41 on there, but could'nt it be a new track instead of "Fat Lip" which you see on TRL every day , well I don't, but you get the point. Soundtracks are suppose to be a treat for the fans because you get to hear new music from bands that are in between albums. Well I give this album 3 manstyle points. The music itself deserves a higher rating because there are a lot of good songs on here (if you don't believe me follow the link above to see the tracklisting), but I tend to expect more out of a soundtrack. Give me something like the Spawn or The Crow soundtracks, now that is what a soundtrack should be. [www.americanpiemusic.com]
