Stubbs The Zombie: The Soundtrack

Even though zombies are just the dead reincarnated as staggering lost souls, it doesn't mean that the soundtrack that they do it to has to be lifeless as well. Giving a bunch of current semi-hot bands (including The Flaming Lips, The Dandy Warhols and Death Cab For Cutie) the job of covering some '50s doo wop and pop seems, at least, interesting on paper.

However, most of the renditions, while faithful to the originals, are fairly pedestrian in execution. Thankfully, a couple stand out, including The Walkmen's take on "There Goes My Baby" and Rogue Wave's "Everyday," which molds Buddy Holly to the Red House Painters. The game itself looks interesting, but you might just want to turn down this soundtrack and crank some old Cramps records while you play.
