Final Clarification

"To set the record straight, BOTH Weezer and Green Day had songs in Accepted called "Holiday," (a coincidence, becuase they are completely different and unrelated songs but both worked well in the movie). For whatever reason, the only one to make it onto the soundtrack was Weezer's song. I would greatly appreciate it if everyone could refrain from rating albums 1 star for things like this, even if an error has actually been made. Go ahead and send an e-mail to Amazon and maybe they'll fix it, but please rate the album on its own merits. Speaking of the album, I think it is a good disc that's quite representative of the music choices of the great film, especially the Citizen Cope and Ryan Adams tracks."
The kid is wrong, and so is your grammar.

"I'd give this album 3.5 stars but I don't have the option.
First off to the reviewers below.
1- The Kid: Try to realize that due to licensing and royalties not all songs make it onto a soundtrack cd and many appear simply in the movie. It's easier to pay someone for 30 seconds of their song then to put it onto a cd where people will own it and pay a lot more. Green Day and Weezer are from a similar era, but their music should never be confused. It is not illegal to share song titles, things like this can be trademarked at best. There are even technicalities for band names. Try to be a bit more knowledgable before you waste time writing a review and not to mention embarass yourself.
2- The Other Guy: Before you bash anyone for being "wrong" make sure your grammar doesn't make you look dumb. Your and you're are different things. You're is a contraction for you are. So if you are going to say "your wrong"[sic] then you might as well be a kid too, because high school did nothing for you and it's better to be an ignorant youth than an ignorant adult in the world. It doesn't matter how successful you are, there are plenty of important people that will never take you seriously if you can't understand the concepts of a simple language.
On to the soundtrack. While there are a lot of good songs on here, not a lot of them made any sense in the movie. Unlike other soundtracks where the songs added substance to the movie it was rather more like they picked some personal favorites, mixed them like crap and tossed them in. The Hives song is butchered in the movie. It cuts off in mid verse and switches to a different vocal part, much like the Louis XIV song from the Madden 2006 soundtrack.
This soundtrack is good for listens but it's best to just buy the cds of the bands on it as this is a mix of randomers than don't have much chemistry.

"I do not own the soundtrack, and I'm not sure if anyone else has posted this, (if they have, I apologize for repeating it)but the song from the trailer is "Everything is all right" by Motion City Soundtrack. I was disappointed to see that it was not on the soundtrack. Hope this was helpful"
