The original Yippie, Abbie Hoffman left little room for compromise. His combative activism eventually forced him underground and guaranteed him a place in the lexicon of alternative Sixties culture. The soundtrack features both original 1960s protest music from Phil Ochs, Edwin Starr, and Country Joe and the Fish and remakes of classic songs from an impressive list of modern musicians. The reinterpretations are strong. Steve Earle and Sheryl Crow belt out the Chambers Brothers' "Time Has Come Today" with a punk edge. Bonnie Raitt has never sounded more relaxed, underlining the somber sentiments of Bob Dylan's "It's All Over Now, Baby Blue" with a gentle, tremolo-ed guitar. Dylan's farewell to protest, "My Back Pages," is given a majestic reading by Joan Osborne and Jackson Browne, with a funereal organ haunting the track. Most appropriate is Ani DiFranco covering Woody Guthrie's "This Land Is Your Land" with her usual dose of idiosyncrasy. --Rob O'Connor

Steal Track #1?.......2007-07-07

This is generally just an OK soundtrack - except for the 1st song "Time Has Come Today" by Sheryl Crow and Steve Earle which is just... phenomenal. Actually, IMHO, it is one of the great covers of all time and alone is worth the cost of the CD.

One of those rare soundtracks..........2004-09-27

This is one of those rare soundtracks that actually has vision, direction and cohesiveness. It consists mostly of updated versions of classic songs. Steve Earle & Sheryl Crow team up for the Chambers Brothers classic "Time". Other interesting team-ups are Joan Osborne & Jackson Browne covering Bob Dylan's "My Back Pages" and Eric Clapton, Billy Preston & Ringo Starr doing John Lennon's "Power to the People". Bonnie Raitt does a beautiful cover of Dylan's "It's All Over Now Baby Blue". Ani DiFranco covers two songs, Woody Guthrie's "This Land is Your Land" and Phil Och's "When I'm Gone". Timothy B. Schmidt rocks with CS&N's "Carry On". And last but not least, Mary Chapin Carpenter does a very bluesy and sexy version of Donovan's "Mellow Yellow" that would have been a great single at AAA formats. There are also a few originals - Phil Och's: I Ain't Marching Anymore, Country Joe and the Fish: Superbird & Fell Like I'm Fixin' To Die Rag, and Edwin Starr: War.

Quality Covers.......2003-01-04

This is a soundtrack which updates some classic songs and brings back a few golden oldies. For me, the greatest hit is the absolute blow your socks off version of "Power to the People" which Eric Burdon and Billy Preston nail. Besides being an unlikely pairing, the two give what was a second-tier John Lennon song red carpet treatment that rivals the master musician's with Burdon's empassioned vocals and Preston's pounding keyboards! Equally as magical is Bonnie Raitt's cool bluesy reading of Bob Dylan's "It's All Over Now, Baby Blue." "The highway is for gamblers ... take what you have gathered from coincidence," she croons magically. I have this tune recorded by Joan Baez, the Byrds, Judy Collins, Richie Havens, Barry McGuire, the Animals and of course, the songwriter. Raitt shines! The other Dylan pairing with Jackson Browne and Joan Osborne's version of "My Back Pages" is weighted only by Steve Earle's somber organ throughout the piece. Mary Chapin Carpenter's wacky version of Donovan's "Mellow Yellow" is also making me hit for the repeat button with her little warble, "I'm just mad about 14; she's just mad about me." Steve Earle and Sheryl Crow do a great job of "Time Has Come Today"; and it's interesting to hear the female vocal on the song. The Phil Ochs track and Country Joe's "Fixing" track are thematically essential for the film and sound great. All in all, this is a soundtrack that has great focus and unity. U snooze U lose! Enjoy!

Abbies Best.......2000-10-11

As I was actually in this movie.. as an extra. I am pleased to tell you & your readers.. Its a Great sound track to an excellent Movie.. watch for me in the fountain with the topless girls Im throwing a Frisbee with them. Thanks for this Oportunity, Don

Soundtrack for Multiple Generations.......2000-08-07

This CD works for more than those of us who were teenagers when this music was first released. The Steve Earle/Sheryl Crow collaboration (Time Has Come Today) is a more contemplative treatment of this song. Bonnie Raitt shines (It's All Over Now, Baby Blue) with a bluesy, heartfelt rendering of this Dylan classic. Phil Ochs, Edwin Starr, and Country Joe & The Fish are here for authenticity, to balance the "newness" of Ani DiFranco, Mary Chapin Carpenter, and Joan Osborne. I applaud the artist selection as more daring than would have been expected.

See the soundtrack for "1969" for a collection of original songs and associated artists from this era.

Not Odd!.......2006-10-07

If you were to compare this record to the other two records in this series, King Buzzo and Dale Crover, it might stand out as a bit of an oddity and in some ways an inferior record. This is, however, a quintessential Joe Preston record. You can see the shape of things to come: the drum machine excess, the creepy samples, and the slow, dynamic low end drone that he's been perfecting ever since. Listen to what he's done with Earth, SunnO))), and even the first part of the Lysol album and then listen to the third track. The other two songs are reminiscent of Sperm Whale era thrones. This is Joe Preston doing what he does best and I'd like to give it five stars but, as an ep, it doesn't have much going for it beyond the third track. The shorter songs are good and fit in with the rest of the melvins and even early thrones catalog but they are short and in a way seem to compliment the longer track rather than stand on their own.

The Eagle Has Landed and the Ish Has Piled!.......2005-10-01

We all know that Buzzo has the voice of an Angel and the fingerwork of Paginni, Dale has the delicate Jazz technique, but Joe? This has got to be the worst cd I've ever bought.. What's up? This has to stay in the collection, but I would tell anyone to buy this cd last if you are going for a complete Melvins collection...

Odd can be good.......2004-04-11

OK...this is NOT a conventional rock album...by any means.As a matter of fact this album merits some concentration on the part of the listener to fully "get" this one.Truthfully,it may be kind of hard the first couple of times to even listen to it.But once you find the right mood and open your ears and mind,i think you'll find this one of the most interesting eps you'll ever hear.I also think it merits mention that this is easily the most inaccessible of the three Melvins solo albums.Now onto the song by song:
The Eagle Has Landed-Not much in the way of a song.More of an ambient peice.It sets the mood of being on the beach perhaps,with kids playing in the background and "elevator" type music in the forefront.Suprisingly catchy but not much to it. 3/5

Bricklebrit-Here you go.The whole reason to get this cd.Very heavy and ominous.Perhaps the most melvins sounding song on here.If this were the only song on the cd it would still be worth buying. 5/5

Hands First Flower-OK...heres where the concentration comes in.This song is about 22 minutes long and doesent really change much through the song.Basically it comes off as endless droning with very little change in it anywhere.As a musical peice it is'nt much,however,i do think its interesting that someone could sit through this 22 minutes waiting for something to happen....like major key change...explosive guitar riffs.....seizures...ANYTHING.All only to find that it never comes....somehow i find that funny.But again I must say its not much of a song. 2/5
So there you go.In a nutshell i think its an interesting album and worth it for Bricklebrit alone.But definately buy this with the other three to get the full picture of the bands flexibility.

Joe Has Landed..........1998-07-06

It's possible that Joe Preston was sent here from the far reaches of space by a higher life-form in order to conduct mind control experiments upon the unwitting human race. Master of sonic deconstruction he gives new meaning to the word heavy. Three planet swallowing songs await you on this CD. Screw H.A.A.R.P., we should worry about what Mr. Preston is doing to our brains.
