Great Soundtrack, but NOT "original"

"As a big fan of the Dead Zone, I jumped at the chance to get the soundtrack. It was great and I loved it. I played it so much that I wore the CD out and had to buy a new one. I purchased this CD in December 2005 and when i got it I popped it in and realized that this CD is not the same as the first one I had. After some research, I found out that there are 2 versions of the soundtrack -- version one = "Music from Season One" and is more of a jazzy, bluesy CD. Version two = this CD and is more rock based. Haven't been able to find version one, but here are the track listings:

The "new" version is good, but the first was better; therefore; only 4 out of 5 for this soundtrack."
I kind of like the show, but not the soundtrack and it's pac

"I bought this CD largely on the basis of the review stating that Jeff Buckley's "New Year's Prayer" was used as the opener. I know I missed the first season and all or part of the second but New Year's Prayer on this CD sounds nothing like the opening instrumental piece used 3rd & 4th seasons.I don't recognize any of the music or even get a sense of the show from it. Some of it isn't bad, Anthony Michael Hall's "Hallelujah" has some good to it, but most is better for the 18 yr. old crowd, not me. I think at least as little of the packaging, instead of a plastic jewel case you get a paper folder with a plastic CD hold tray glued into it. What liner notes there are will be found under that- in tiny print they're hard to read under that thing."
