Audioslave - "Be Yourself"
You’ve probably heard this on the radio and it sounds a lot like Chris Cornell in his Soundgarden days and less like Rage Against The Machine. Unlike a lot of emo rock, Audioslave brings a genuine sound as if they can back up their words.
Nada Surf - "Always Love"
A slight touch of melancholy that leaves you hunkering to wax the poetic.
Gavin DeGraw - "Jealous Guy"
A new version of John Lennon’s “Jealous Guy” and it’s actually pretty good. I say that as someone who normally can’t listen to Gavin DeGraw.
Citizen Cope - "Son's Gonna Rise"
This is that entirely-too-catchy-to-be-good-for-you song from that Pontiac commercial. There is some actual lyrical content to match the catchy beats, making this one of my favorite tracks on the album.
Hot Hot Heat - "Middle of Nowhere"
This Canadian band has a very loud and loyal fan base. And while I am not a Hot Hot Heat fan, this is definitely a fun listen with a unique voice.
Tyler Hilton - "Missing You"
Behind one of those billed as a teen heartthrob is a raw voice. This is a mediocre song and probably the weakest on the album.
Mozella - "Light Years Away"
A hauntingly beautiful and soothing voice expressing some unrefined emotions.
Shout Out Louds - "Please Please Please"
A strangely fun song pleading a lover to come back, pretty transparent but enjoyable nonetheless.
Fall Out Boy - "I've Got A Dark Alley…"
A catchy tune with painful undertones, but not so much so that it is painful to listen to.
Jimmy Eat World - "23"
An epic ballad with a huge arrangement, at just over seven minutes long, “23” is the longest track on Friends With Benefit.
Haley James Scott - "Halo"
I’ve always thought it hokey when a tv show lets a character play their songs, but with Haley it actually works. This song is pretty decent too.
Michelle Featherstone - "Coffee & Cigarettes"
A pretty song about being blue, it is minimalist in its approach with piano accompanying the sad vocals.
Strays Don't Sleep “For Blue Skies"
A slow, pretty song.

I agree with some of these views about the songs.. I personally am a big fan of One Tree Hill and yet there are some songs on here that don't spark my interest as much as others. Besides that, I love it, and it is definitely worth buying.
