The medically minded Scrubs is an eccentric affair, populated by a zany cast of residents saving lives while learning life's little lessons in the process. Though lacking the show's oddball humor, its soundtrack is undeniably earnest, with a rich understanding of the pleasures and hardships faced by the hospital workers. The show's theme song, Lazlo Bane's quirky banjo twanger, sighs "I'm no Superman", as an uncharacteristically subdued Guided by Voices track cautions to "Hold on Hope". Ex-Men at Work frontman Colin Hay lends his sage advice with acoustic renditions of "Beautiful World" and the chestnut "Overkill", while Eels' "Fresh Feeling" begins with a tuning orchestra and turns into a tripping beatfest. The highlights, though, belong to Francis Dunnery, sounding uncannily like Peter Gabriel on the high-tea string elegance of "Good Life", and the Shins, with "New Slang", a humble campfire song. Puttering along pleasantly, Scrubs, while a little bland, is nevertheless a life-affirming collection that's as hopeful as the aspiring young doctors on the show. --Annie Zaleski

Customer Reviews

Not my taste but still good.
Although I'm more into rock and metal and this is more acoustic it was still an enjoyable listen. The best track on there is probably Superman and is the famous hilight. The others were quite good but this CD definetly isn't for everyone.

Scrubs soundtrack
Very pleased with my item all the songs are amazing, but I was somewhat disapointed that they chose to include John Cale's version of Hallelujah instead of Leonard Cohen's original.

But all that aside, a good album delivered on time by the lovely people at Amazon and it's worth buying.

Pretty good for a tv tie-in
I'm not normally a fan of american comedies, or their cd tie-ins. But Scrubs is the exception. The series itself makes considerable use of contemporary music, and whilst any disc like this is bound to be a little arbitrary in it's selection, this doesn't make a bad effort with it's choices. Many of the tracks have a similar feel, but the compilation doesn't overly suffer from the 'skip the track' factor that many of the type do. My personal favourite - 'Dracula from Houston', and the two Colin Hay numbers.

This disc only contains tracks from season 1, which is a shame as there is much good music in the next season also.
