The music on this CD is as I expected. It is an enjoyable compilation of artists. I am a fan of soundtracks.

Not just a one night stand (are there enough stars?)

"I fell in love with this soundtrack much the way I did the tv show it goes with: slowly, surely and softly. The music featured on "Grey's Anatomy" packs a gentle punch and can blissfully remind you of why music is the only thing you can purchase that touches your heart and soul completely. Clothes, food, even books can't reach that spot deep inside you that yearns to be free.
Think I'm exaggerating? Well then, listen to the opening track "Such Great Heights" by the Postal Service and tell me you don't levitate with tranquility off your living room couch...
As for the second song, the delicious "Ruby Blue" by Roisin Murphy, if you don't feel rhythym coursing through your entire body, you might consider getting a doctor to look at you.
"Song Beneath the Song" follows and continues the very mellow sounds of "Such Great Heights." Don't be scared by the word "mellow." This is the kind of peace anyone who works non-stop needs to unwind with at the end of the day. I promise you your mind won't turn to mush.
Though the overall tone of the album is set by a fairly languid pace, no two numbers are exactly the same. "Where Does the Good Go?" is a bit quirky with a persisting chorus that matches the demanding needs of the lyrics (especially with the line: "look me in the eye") while the live version of Ben Lee's fabulously pop "Catch my Disease" is light-hearted happiness.
I won't take up too much more of your time raving like a lovestruck lunatic. All I want to emphasize is how wonderful GREY's ANATOMY soundtrack is; how do you do justice to an album that features Rilo Kiley (a terrific group by the way!), Inara George ("Fools in Love" is heartbreakingly gorgeous and especially soothing during hard times), The Ditty Bops and Get Set Go all on the same project??
Even as I write this, I'm listening to the album for probably the 20th time since I got it the week before last. Beauty, sorrow, joy, peace, wacky instability ("Ruby Blue")...everything that makes the show so lovable is here on the soundtrack.
Take this home with you and be kind to it in the morning! Be careful,though, that you don't lose your heart to it too soon...
super+++tracks include: "Such Great Heights," "Ruby Blue," "Song Beneath the Song," "Wait" (you'd wait for anyone who sings like this!), "Could be Anything," "Portions for Foxes," "Fools in Love," and "Cosy in the Rocket" (a perfect closer to the album!!)
Buy right now and enjoy!!!!!!"
Excellent soundtrack for an excellent show

"Grey's Anatomy is favorite guilty pleasure. In a mere 14 episodes, the show has risen above the cliched soapy drama mold with sharp writing, intriguing storylines, multi-layered performances by a diverse and talented cast. It has reinvigorated the ensemble drama.
Therefore, it's no surprise that it's soundtrack is equally as engaging. The Postal Service's "Such Great Heights", used prominently in the show's first promotional advertisements, is an excellent opening. It is followed by the phenomenally brassy "Ruby Blue" (my eternal thanks to the music supervisors to introducing the amazing Roison Murphy into the mainstream). My favorite tracks include Rilo Kiley's "Portions for Foxes" (which was featured in the pilot episode), The Eames Era's "Could Be Anything", "Song Beneath the Song" by Maria Taylor, "Looking At The World From The Bottom Of A Well" by Mike Doughty, and what could possibly be the intern's theme, "Whatever Gets You Through The Day" by The Radio. The CD ends with an extended version of the hauntingly catchy theme song, "Cosy In The Rocket" by Psapp.
It's an expertly crafted assortment of music that is a perfect companion to an expertly crafted television show. A must for any Grey's Anatomy fan, but really, a must for anyone who appreciates good music."
Amazing.

"I am a huge fan of Grey's Anatomy, and one of the best parts of the show for me is the music. So when the soundtrack came out, I was really excited, even though I was really only familiar with about two of the songs they included. The first time I listened to it, I fell in love with a few of the songs, but a few of the others took awhile for me to get used to. The songs are all very different, with a wide variety of sounds and voices that you don't hear much on the radio, and it works. It is now my very favorite cd and I listen to it more than the rest of my cd's combined. It's that good."
