This is my favorite cd. I have to admit that I originaly bought it becuse I am completly obsessed with the show, but when I got it I was suprised by how good it was. I think that you should check it out, even if you don't like the show.

This is such a great compilation. Even if you are not a fan of the show, it's hard not to like the music from it. Seriously, the show is great, but I didn't watch every episode... but yet, the songs all mean something special. If you are a fan of one of the bands on this album I highly recomend getting this cd because the other bands and artists are just as good. Here is a basic review of each song:

1) Paint The Silence 9/10 - Great Song To start the album with and a beautiful musical composition.

2) Just A Ride 8/10 - Cool song. Her voice goes great with the beat of the song.

3) Honey And The Moon 10/10 - Awesome song with really really good vocals and a great sound.

4) The Way We Get By 10/10 - This is actually one of the main reasons I bought this cd, it's a really cool and catchy song. Spoon is a really great band.

5) Move On 8/10 - Great Jet Song to put on the soundtrack.

6) How Good Can It Be 8/10 - Cool and Catchy song, sometimes it can be skipped though.

7) Caught By The River 10/10 - Beautiful song by The Doves with really good lyrics and an awesome sound.

8) Rain City 10/10 - This is one of my favorite songs on the cd. It's slow, but it's so good.

9) We Used To Be Friends 10/10 - This song is great and it really conveys the thoughts of being annoyed with old girlfriends.

10) Dice 15/10 - This is such a great song and probably my favorite song on the cd. The lyrics and different sound make it a terrific song.

11) Orange Sky 9/10 - Great Mellow song, the lyrics make the song.

12) California 10/10 - Probably why most people will buy this cd.. You can't help but like this song, it's great. Check out Phantom Planet's "The Guest" - it's an awesome cd.

- Another reason to get this cd is it's cool to see the clips from the show when the songs were used by putting it in your computer.

I was interested in listening to this CD and ended up buying it for my sister. It has a nice mix of songs from the show, while leaving out some of the music from more well-known bands such as Rooney. I had heard some of the songs a while back (California and Caught By The River) and immediately recognized some of the others from the show upon hearing them. This CD has a pretty mellow feel to it, but some of the songs really stick in my head (in a good way, not like annoying pop songs). These include Dice, which I loved from the first time I heard it on the episode, Honey And The Moon, and That's The Way We Get By. This album has a good collection of artists, some who I knew already and others I had not been exposed to before. It is a great way to find interesting bands you may not have heard before.

The CD came in good condition, new. It took a few days to arrive, but not too long. The price was fair.

Loved the Dandies, Jem and Joseph Arthur tunes plus you get the title track "California" by Phantom Planet on this the first Mix of "The O.C."

A word of warning: Don't go out and buy the Jem CD based on this killer song "Just A Ride." That's the only song they have really.

Anyway, for O.C. fans the jacket folds out into a poster with the Fearsome Foursome all there in color for your wall.

I really like the music on this cd. A bunch of really great songs. No they don't have anything "to do" with the O.C. but does a soundtrack ever really? No. It's just music from the show or movie or whatever. And in response to heather... the song that you are thinking of is "into dust" by Mazzy Starr.
Anyway.... great cd.

Do you know who the artist is that is playing in the first season of the OC disc 2, episode 7 while Ryan is holding Marissa after she overdoses in TJ? I just love it and i thought that the soundtrack would have the song on it.

The OC mix 1 offers a great collection of music from artists like the doves with "caught by the river", and also South's "paint the silence". My favourite song is Finley Quaye's romantic and highly popular song "dice" but the whole album offers great tumes over and over again. it's definetly worth listening to!

ummm, the show is one of the worst that i have seen in my whole life! it is so preppy and lame, but i have to say, im a big supporter of indie rock and other types of alternative, so i was really happy to see that the show tried to support cool bands to make themselves look better. However, the soundtrack selection was really great. I don't think i hate one song on it. My favourite is the spoon track. however, ht oc was and still will always remain lame!

I got this cd as a gift from a friend, cause they knew I was a big oc fan. It's one of best cd's i own! All my friends and family love it and we all have different tastes in music. This isn't just for Oc diehards!
