CD DetailsSynopsis
Amazon.com Multitalented media queen Mandy Moore learns exactly how to deal with the messy maze of relationships and falling in love in her latest cinematic vehicle--meaning, appropriately, that Deal's tunes largely have the type of fuzzy, love-obsessed glow which envelops any knee-weakening crush. Liz Phair's syrupy-sweet pop nugget "Why Can't I?" serves as a digital heartbeat to John Mayer's acoustic earnestness and two low-key splashes of orchestral moodiness from Beth Orton, including a husky cover of Cat Stevens' "Wild World." Symphonic quirkiness from the Flaming Lips and the Music's dance-boogie firestorm add some spice, but, surprisingly, lesser-known artists steal the show away from these veterans. Canadian Skye Sweetnam sounds like Letters to Cleo's kid sister on her irresistible, rainbow-rocking debut single "Billy S.," and Marjorie Fair's "Waves" is picturesque, Brit-pop-dreamy rock. Despite generic cuts from singer-songwriter Aslyn and the jazzy electro act Echo, the album's tunes smartly cover all aspects of romance, from the initial pining away to the giddiness of a first kiss. In other words, How to Deal is the real deal. --Annie Zaleski Similar CDs

CD ReviewsA Pretty Decent Movie Soundtrack... Brittany Rose | Winnipeg, MB | 08/03/2003 (3 out of 5 stars) "I'm honestly not a big fan of movie soundtracks, but while watching "How To Deal" I enjoyed a lot of the songs. There are a few punk type songs by singers Skye Sweetnam, a more pop version of Avril Lavigne, as well as pop-punk band the Donnas. Liz Phair's song "Why Can't I" is def. one of my faves, with a bit of an Avril feeling but again, more poppy. There are also some nice male contributions such as the Flaming Lips airy guitar number "Do You Realize" played during the funeral scene. Tremolo's "Promise Ring" is a heartfelt piano ballad that just makes you swoon listening to the lead singers voice. John Mayer also contributes a sweet guitar number titled "Not Myself".Finally there are the folky numbers such as the two Beth Orton tracks, and the sweet Aslyn "That's When I Love You" a nice end to the movie. While the soundtrack doesn't have any particular standout tracks, thats really a good thing, as it just flows and lets you relax while listening to it with out revolving around one or two songs." Best soundtrack in a long time... r0cksteadyo8 | Boise, ID USA | 08/21/2003 (4 out of 5 stars) "I had been waiting forever for the price of the soundtrack to go down but then I decided it would be a while and I finally bought it. But I sure got my money's worth. All of the songs fit perfectly with the movie. "Do You Realize??" by the Flaming Lips is the light guitar ballad that works well since it was in the funeral scene. "Billy S." by Skye Sweetnam is a fun pop (almost punk) sounding song that makes you remember the happy times in the movie. "Why Can't I", "Not Myself", and both versions of "wild World" work great because they were in key scenes in the movie. But really what stands out on the disc is "That's When I love You" by Aslyn which is a great song to describe the whole movie. Overall it's worth your money." How To Deal Soundtrack r0cksteadyo8 | 07/30/2003 (5 out of 5 stars) "Great compilation, hats off to the people putting it together. The Tremolo song is amazing, and the Beth Orton material stands out as well. Well worth the pickup...."
