Customer Reviews:

4 out of 5 stars needed something new.......2006-03-03

When this soundtrack came out, I was excited about the fact that there was two new BOC tracks! Demon kiss is alright, but Horsemen arrives is very cool!! It is a combination of Metalica meets soundgarden...once again the Oyster boys put out another song done by any band would be all over the airwaves..but in BOC case no radio airplay..the song is haunting, but at the sametime very melodic..no band in the history of rock has been able to combine the two anybetter.....It would be great to hear this song in concert.....Boc is not a good band, but a great band!

1 out of 5 stars awful channel.........2004-11-05

I bought this a few years back thinking it was b.o.c, ther'es only a couple songs on it that are actually cult. The rest of it sucks, and I returned it the next day! unless You want to break a 20 for a couple of songs thinking it's a b.o.c. album, I would'nt advise it.

4 out of 5 stars An interesting foray into Hollyweird...........2004-04-23

The two complete tracks "Demon's Kiss" and "The Horsemen Arrive" are both prototypical BOC genre songs. "Demon's Kiss" is well done and sounds GREAT live, "Horsemen" is a bit schlocky.... In addition to the two whole BOC songs there are 28 tracks of Buck and the Boys at their very best. Credits go to Roeser ("Buck Dharma"), Bloom, and BOC band manager Steve Schenk. I wanted to say that I thought the "Stick Meister" Woody LaCerra had a hand in this too, but I can't say for sure....

This CD includes some very forgettable work by other bands, Joker, Sykotic Sinfony, Fair Game, DMT, and the Ukelaliens.

My Recommendation: If you're a HARDCORE BOC fan, then get it. It's worth it for the 28 sound-bites and two complete songs. If you're *not* a devoted BOC fan, then pick up a regular album instead like Agents of Fortune or perhaps one of their many compilations.

4 out of 5 stars BOC goes Hollywood - who knew???.......2001-08-06

I basically agree with the first review. I could not put up the 5 stars because the other artists are average at best. Thus I can't recommend this whole CD for the casual BOC'er. Hardcore fans should pick it up, of course, because the 2 Cult tracks are indeed smoking.

By the way, I happen to own an earlier release of this with same 30 tracks but all on one CD (time 71:18). It appears to be original release 1992 from Moonstone Records. I'm not sure where the 2CD idea came in... I also bring it up because the cover artwork shown for 1999 version ... is radically different than what I have. The 1992 release features screenshots & logos directly from the movie. Also FYI both of the BOC songs were co-written by Jon Shirley. Sandy Pearlman also turns up with a producing credit for one of the other bands called DMT. However the producing credit for the BOC material was only given to Eric, Buck, & some dude named Steve Schenk or Shenck (his name is spelled two different ways in the liner notes...whoops)

Anyways, enough chit-chat. Buy it for BOC & don't expect a lot from the rest of it.
