Synopsis: Whether or not you are familiar with the television program based on the Stephen King novel starring Anthony Michael Hall, this soundtrack is a very decent collection of mostly alternative rock and alternative pop/rock. The alternative rock is melodic as you will hear with the Stereophonics' "Help Me (She's Out of Her Mind)" as well as Longwave's "Here It Comes," the Cooper Temple Clause's "Blind Pilots" and the Vandals' "The Unseen Tears of the Albacore."

Beginning with Jeff Buckley's haunting song "New Years Prayer", a remixed version of which is used in the program's opening credits, the soundtrack eases you into Anthony Michael Hall's rendition of the Leonard Cohen classic "Hallelujah". Hall experimented a lot with music in his early 20s, eventually producing an album called "Welcome to the Hall of Mirrors" (now sadly deleted). But his version of Hallelujah, shows just how very much this actor has grown up since his 80s film career.

One of the show's producers is Shawn Piller, which does use this soundtrack album a bit as a plug for his wife, Lindsay Price, and her elegant and soulful song "Someone Like You", which is a bit folk-rock and adult alternative. Piller has his own record label and stable of talented young acts, including The Woods from Los Angeles and Fredalba.
All in all, the Dead Zone Soundtrack is well-rounded CD that will satisfy those who are and aren't fans of the television series.
