Various Artists: Six Feet Under - Everything Ends

Six Feet Under - Everything Ends was purchased under emotional turmoil, I'd just like to say.

I had watched the finale, and the music in that episode alone was amazing and moving, and the ifnal song they played as they wrapped things up was like a punch to your heart. You couldn't help but cry.

Being a soundtrack, there is a level of emotional cohesion, but not like a normal studio album. That said, this album flows well (except for Coldplay, but thats a personal issue).

The album also contains a number of Six Feet Under exclusive tracks from the likes of Jem, Interpol, and the Arcade Fire.

The break out track, in my opinion, is Sia's "Breathe Me." This is that song that ran over the end of the episode. It seeps inside and just grabs you. Holds you.

Ever since the "Thomas Crown Affair" (1999) soundtrack, I've enjoyed Nina Simone, and her lead off track "Feelin' Good" works just right.

As I said, I have an personal issue with Coldplay because I feel they've become sickeningly repetitive. They're song, "A Rush of Blood to the Head," worked well in the episode it was featured in, but I wish it hadn't made it to the disc. There's plenty of other amazing music that has been in the series but did not get any showcasing on this, or the First Volume.

In the end: There's a lot of amazing talent on this disc, and it's worth the 12 bucks to get it all collected into one place. Its a bit of a downer, though, so don't buy this looking to boost your spirits.
