B&G’s Excellent Adventure

Working Class Hero

June 16th, 2007

There is a new album out raising money for the situation in Darfur, which is one of the poorly known political conflicts that the US doesn’t see fit to care about (note, they don’t have much oil).

I’m not completely in love with Instant Karma, but there are some good tracks on here. My favorite at the moment is Working Class Hero done by Green Day:

While the overall compilation is good, there aren’t a lot of standouts beyond the Green Day track, the rest are good, but not standout great. I wish Imagine from A Perfect Circle’s Emotive were in there. Tori Amos does some great ones as well. I think this could have been a totally stand out album, but as it is, it turned out entirely fine. I think it is worth it for the Green Day, U2 and REM tracks.
