Caldato, Hurricane, Tom Edmonds, Michael Barbiero, Jason Roberts, Phil Burnett, Old Dirty Bastard.The Jerky Boys movie might have been an unqualified disaster, but the soundtrack is another matter entirely. Featuring the standard selection of alternative rock stars, the album surprisingly manages to be more than the conventional collection of mediocre tracks. Instead, there's some energy and life to the performances, particularly on such inspired moves as L7's cover of "Hangin' on the Telephone." It's still not a great album -- there are a number of flat tracks -- but it is unexpectedly enjoyable. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine

Editorial Reviews
...A kind of best of the B sides from some of today's hottest groups, it includes the hard-hitting rock of L7 and Green Day, the rollicking-soft gangsta beats of rappers Coolio & the 40 Thevz, and the melodic distortion of Superchunk... - Rating: B+
