Trekkies 2 (W/6 Live Tracks) [Soundtrack]

This is the soundtrack to the Paramount Pictures documentary sequel "Trekkies 2", an entertaining look at Star Trek fans worldwide. The soundtrack includes the theme song "Beam Me Up" by Fred Schneider of The B-52's, as well as original rock, metal, punk and folk music from Star Trek-inspired bands. It also includes some of the instrumental score composed for the movie, and a bunch of funny interview clips from both "Trekkies" and "Trekkies 2". The best Star Trek bands on the CD are definitely the rock band Warp 11, and the metal band Stovokor.

It's definitely not your average soundtrack - it's hella funny, the Star Trek bands are (for the most part) surprisingly good, plus it's something new from members of The B-52's. A definite must-buy for any sci-fi fan.

Check out the lyrics to the hilarious Warp 11 rock anthem "Everything I Do, I Do With William Shatner":

Everything I do, I do with William Shatner

Loosing all my hair while my belly's growing fat-ner

And when I drink too much

He holds my hair in his hands

And while I'm blowing chunks

He treats me like the captain

Oh, when we get together we boldly go

Talk about our favorite episodes

I don't want to go to work

Just want to hang with Captain Kirk

And if I had my way I'd make it so

I truly enjoyed this album, and not just for it's comedic value either. Some of the bands within were actually extreamly talented artists, such as WARP 11 and their rockin' punk/metal brand of music. Who knew Trekkies could actualy rock?!?! lol.. You must give this CD a spin Trekkie or not, it's definitely a must have for any true music lover.

If you are reading this review then you must love Star Trek and have already seen the movie Trekkies 2 (probably the first one, as well). All the songs from the film are on this album, plus a few funny audio clips. I will say not all of the material was recorded with very high quality, and some of the songs are kinda lame, but overall this was a fun listen and some of the songs are catchy!
