Album Review
Heroes Original Soundtrack
Various Artists (07.08.2008)

Hello Heroes Fans! If you like the show, then you’re going to want to pick this up. This sounds like it’s a long time coming, since the third season hit the tube recently. Heroes (although I have never ever watched an episode, shame on me), is one of those sci-fi series which carries a great cast, but an even better storyline. From what I gather, everyday common people realize they have superhuman abilities, a drama series unlike any other. I guess you can say, it’s a comic book style type series.
Iggy Pop, David Bowie and Bob Dylan grace this compilation along with notable artists like Panic! At the disco, Wilco, and The Chemical Brothers to name a few. I have to note that “Weightless” by Nada Surf is my favourite track off the album. The only song that has any popularity would be Panic! At the disco’s “Nine in the afternoon”.
What I dig about the album is that 5 music videos were released and created by Allan Arkush for the following:
01. Weightless (Nada Surf) – features the power of flight
02. Not Now But Soon (Imogen Heap) – features happy moments
03. Man In The Long Black Coat (Bob Dylan) – features Sylar
04. He’s Frank (Brighton Port Authority featuring Iggy Pop) – features various attacks
05. Keeping My Composure (The Chemical Brothers featuring Spank Rock) – features action-packed moments
Although the soundtrack rocks, it won’t make me want to watch an episode, but to those who love the show would appreciate this release. [ END ]
