Description: The well known (Foo Fighters), barely known (Jack Johnson), and virtually unknown (Andrew WK) are all represented to fine effect on this predominantly modern-rock-leaning dozen-song soundtrack. As befitting the flick's snowboard theme, most of the cool cuts are by pop-punky sporty faves such as Lit (whose edgy and melodic "Lipstick and Bruises" is the single), Eve 6 (with a dynamic new song, "Anytime"), and the Foo Fighters, who turn in a reworking of a B-side in "Win or Lose." A couple of great songs (albeit odd choices for a teen-oriented soundtrack, especially when sharing space with the hip-hop Planet Asia and Will.I.Am) are the James Gang's 1977 hit, the sexy, bluesy rock romp "Funk No. 49," and the new but guitar-driven, classic-rock-oriented "Green Light Girl," a forceful offering from Doyle Bramhall II & Smokestack. British solo artist Andrew WK turns in an irresistible, ultra-energetic, retro, almost "glam" power-pop tune in "She Is Beautiful," while mellower moments from Jimmy Eat World and Jack Johnson aren't as compelling. Ultimately, if
Out Cold is a slightly schizophrenic compilation of mostly previously released cuts, it's still a worthwhile collection for open-minded listeners.

song

The name of the song
Island in the Sun by Weezer, not on the soundtrack. Why wouldnt they put that song on the soundtrack? Crazy
This thing is great.
The film has a great soundtrack:
Eve 6, James Gang, Jack Johnson, Sum 41, Foo Fighters, Lit, Planet Asia, Jimmy Eat World, Doyle Bramhall, Handsome Devil, The Color Red, Andrew W.K.
It's truely awesome. A compilation of rare and recently-released tracks ranging from pop to rock. I'm just sick of hearing complaints from people going, "Oh, man! 'Island in the Sun' is not on the Out Cold soundtrack!" Go out and buy Weezer's whole album: Weezer (Green Album). They need the money. Check their new record in this May: Make Believe. I recommend buying both the Out Cold soundtrack and the new Weezer album May 17th at the same time. Rock on!
Besides, the "Island in the Sun" has already been on the radio and was played at least 5 times in the movie. Like American Pie 2, they don't use a lot of songs on their soundtrack that are already popular singles because most people who buy it don't want to hear what they already have heard a hundred times.
P.S. I'm not in the band Weezer and I do not work at their record label. I just think that they are a very good band, Buddy Holly.
