This album is worth the purchase simply for the lineup: U2, Jimi Hendrix, Peter Gabriel, Sarah McLachlan, Goo Goo Dolls... look at the lineup. See any names that aren't amazing? There you go. Plus, "Iris" is a must-have song, as is Gabriel's "I Grieve". I wouldn't say this album is great, because there aren't many great songs; but I would say it's VERY good, the lineup of artists is stellar. As far as soundtracks go, this one's upper-level for sure. * * * * 1/2
