  MORE LIKE "A LITTLE LESS"... BUT...STILL A FIVE April 9, 2008
So, as far as being fourteen goes, I think everyone owes it to themselves to pick up the ORIGINAL Dazed and Confused soundtrack, because it is without a doubt essential listening. If you are a fan of the first, then you will probably want this one, as a companion to the first, and a way to stretch out what comes out the boombox, while you slug a few of the beers you stole from your parents fridge out behind the local town moon tower.
I don't like it as much as the first volume, and always thought that maybe the title should have been... "A little Less Dazed And Confused..." but thats only because it has less songs, and two of them are Peter Frampton songs... back to back?!
I still give it five stars though. Mix it up with volume one, ...perhaps find your own copy of Sweet Emotion and Dylans Hurricane, and you can have yourself a sweet bender, maaan. Plus, this disc still learned me a nice handful of gems just like the first one did... would I have ever rocked out to the following without my Even More Dazed soundtrack?...FREE RIDE, LIVING IN THE USA, BALINESE,RIGHT PLACE WRONG TIME, Foghat's MAKE LOVE TO YOU!!!(smokes!), plus the other stuff is good too.., but basically its the leftovers that didn't fit on the first disc, and the label still couldn't clear the rights with Aerosmith or Dylan. That shouldn't matter much though.
I hope that theres a new crop of Freshman chicks rocking out to this stuff this summer man. You- know- I- do, man. ROCK

If you loved the Dazed and Confused soundtrack, you'll love this one too. It contains all those songs that they couldn't fit on the first soundtrack. Great CD.

Better Than the First! June 12, 2006

I actually like this one better than the first release. It's a great, eclectic mix of FM radio hits from the golden age of FM radio. (I was 15 in the summer of 1976, so maybe I'm a little biased.)
All of these songs were part of the soundtrack of my life, played at suburban basement make-out parties and blasted from the windows of gas-guzzling old American cars. How I wished I could have grown a mustache like the ones sported by Foghat!
Another excellent soundtrack for a great movie! March 22, 2006

"Dazed and Confused" is a film that unfortunately bombed at the box office when it was in theatres. Fortunately, it has since become a cult classic, and one of the definitive "party" flicks. It helped jump start the careers of the film's soon-to-be stars, such as: Ben Affleck, Parker Posey, Matthew McConaughey, Rory Cochrane, Jason London, and Milla Jovovich, to name a few. I first saw "Dazed" when I was 15. I heard how great of a film it was, so of course I decided to check it out. By the end of my first viewing, I was hooked. I became obsessed with the movie, and have seen it so many times that I've lost count, and it's still fresh and hilarious with every viewing (which is rare for a film)! It has become one of my favorite movies of all time, as well.
Anyway, just like the film's first soundtrack (simply titled "Dazed And Confused"), this soundtrack has excellent songs, but to me, the standouts are: "No More Mr. Nice Guy" by Alice Cooper (awesome hard rocker, which is excellently used in the film), "Do You Feel Like We Do?" by Peter Frampton (an awesome rocker that features the infamous "talkbox"), "I Just Want To Make Love To You" by Foghat (a cool rocker that you'll want to bang your head to), and "Free Ride" by The Edgar Winter Group (definitely a song to crank while cruising with your friends). As I said in my review for the film's other soundtrack, the film's opening track, "Sweet Emotion" by Aerosmith, and Bob Dylan's "Hurricane" are nowhere to be found on either of the film's soundtracks.
