I love this show. I bought the DVD collection when it came out. There are some really great episodes. The soundtrack would have been complete if the 'Late at night' song would have been on it. I have been searching for a certain song for a long time. I have no idea what it is called, but it has the words 'release me' and it plays on the dance episode when Angela and Jordan are outside and Brian comes out and sees them together. Then the song 'What is love' comes on right afterwards and kinda drowns it out. (...)
May 28, 2005If youre a fan of the whole genre of MSCL then you'll enjoy this cd, but as previously stated important songs in the series failed to make it onto the cd. Such songs are "Late at Night" by Buffalo Tom, which is the song in the famous hand holding scene. Some of the songs on this cd were actually in the show such as 1,2 and the theme song. but if your looking for red, the song jared leto sings in why jordan cant read u can skip this cd and download it off the internet. Overall if youre a diehard fan of MSCL i recommend it but if youre not skip it.
April 11, 2005 O.K., I started watching MSCL a year ago-reruns. I wasn't alive when the show first came on, but I fell in love with it, it was the first-and only-show that amazed me. The script was spectacular, the actors amazing, and the music was to die for!No show will ever be able to top this one! I was heartbroken when I learned that the show had been canceled, and when I found out there was a cd, it brought my hopes up again! I soon realized the truth, all the really amazing songs, like "Red", and "Blister In The Sun", weren't on the cd! i was so suprized! And "What is Love" from the episode Life of Brian (my favorite episode, Brian-I love you!) wasn't there either! If You are a MSCL fanatic, make sure you read these reviews! (P.S.-Person who wrote the review about adding actual lines from the show in the cd, you are so right!That would have been great!)

Yes, it has "Make It Home" the homeless girl's anthem song from the "So-Called Angels" christmas episode, and the theme song, as well as "Soda Jerk" from Buffalo Tom, but it doesn't have all the others!
My biggest complaint was that it didn't have "Late At Night" otherwise remembered as "I'd Do It If I Could, I Hope You Know I Would" from the episode where Jordan walks down the hallway holding Angela's hand for the first time in public. I had been searching for YEARS to find that title!! I knew it was on a Buffalo Tom cd, but didn't know it was entitled "Late At Night."
Also sorely missing from the cd are "Blister in the Sun" (Violent Femmes) where Angela gets over Jordan and dances around the room, "Dreams" (Cranberries) where Angela repeats it over and over on the first episode while crying of heartbreak, "Sedated" (Ramones) the song Rayanne attempts to sing for Jordan's band that's Between Names, and "What Is Love?" the moment Rickie dances with Delia at the school dance.
I would have loved if the producers had included sporatic dialogue either leading into the songs or in between songs to help us reminesce such a wonderful show...
This show seemed to be the first teen show to sprout a soundtrack of the generation, alongside 90210. Now there's plenty with Dawson's Creek and the O.C. But none of those held a candle to My So-Called life's brutal honesty, unfortunatley the soundtrack isn't that strong.
January 5, 2005I LOVE MSCL but this soundtrack is a real bummer because the 2 reasons i watch the show are the clothes and the music but they left out a most of the good songs like "red", "i wanna be sedated" and "blister in the sun"(my favorite part of the whole series is where she was dancing to that song). what i ended up doing was buying this cd and adding the songs i felt were missing.
