Soundtrack for Tim Burton's 'Alice' Movie Revealed!
News
Turns out Alice likes her pop-punk. Recently, news broke that Fall Out Boy's Pete Wentz and blink-182 bassist -- and SPIN.com columnist -- Mark Hoppus were working on an original track for the Tim Burton-Walt Disney cinematic re-imagining of Alice in Wonderland, due in theaters March 5. Now we know who'll visit them at the tea party: The full track-listing for the soundtrack, dubbed Almost Alice and out March 2, was announced today on MySpace.
Joining Wentz and Hoppus, whose collabo is called "In Transit," are fellow pop-punk stars like Avril Lavigne ("Alice [Underground]"), Tokio Hotel and Kerli ("Strange"), The All-American Rejects ("Poison"), and Plain White T's ("Welcome to Mystery"), among others.
Cure frontman Robert Smith ("Very Good Advice"), Wolfmother ("Fell Down A Hole"), and Franz Ferdinand ("The Lobster Quadrille") are some of the less adenoidal acts also contributing to the star-laden soundtrack.
All that's missing is the Jefferson Airplane's "White Rabbit" and we're set. Wait, wuh? That song is covered on the soundtrack by Grace Potter and the Nocturnals. Well played, Disney, well played. The track-listing is below:
1. "Alice (Underground)" performed by Avril Lavigne
2. "The Poison" performed by The All-American Rejects
3. "The Technicolor Phase" performed by Owl City
4. "Her Name Is Alice" performed by Shinedown
5. "Painting Flowers" performed by All Time Low
6. "Where's My Angel" performed by Metro Station
7. "Strange" performed by Tokio Hotel and Kerli
8. "Follow Me Down" performed by 3OH!3 featuring Neon Hitch
9. "Very Good Advice" performed by Robert Smith
10. "In Transit" performed by Mark Hoppus with Pete Wentz
11. "Welcome to Mystery" performed by Plain White T's
12. "Tea Party" performed by Kerli
13. "The Lobster Quadrille" performed by Franz Ferdinand
14. "Running Out of Time" performed by Motion City Soundtrack
15. "Fell Down a Hole" performed by Wolfmother
16. "White Rabbit" performed by Grace Potter and the Nocturnals

Neither Tokio Hotel nor Kerli are pop punk.
"Strange" is the song I'm most interested in, but I'm not sure I'll like it.

great way to turn people off, 'all time low' is a joke... i'm actually ashamed for them, the kids they rip off, AND this soundtrack
oh, i agree with milesaway and all the anonymous people that had the guts to tell it like it is... and blink, let's be honest here: this should've been THOUGHT OUT

everyone doesn't have to be so critical about all of this. the mainstream bands on this album have all put out good songs, we can all agree on that. i'm not so sure about some of the other bands, but this will appeal to a wide range of people. if you're not into a band/artist, you don't need to trash them. i for one have decided to buy the album for all that is on it so i can sample all of the works on it. so please, keep your comments to yourself.

This is a pretty awful line-up, with the exceptions of Franz, Wolfmother and Robert Smith (which still isn't too exciting). Good thing Danny Elfman is still doing the score for use in the actual FILM.
I still think they should have made American McGee's "Alice" into a movie instead of this.

how nauseatingly disappointing. guess that's what happens when disney is involved. other than franz and wolfmother i'll have to plug my ears. what about some bands at least half as fab as depp, burton, bonham-carter etc. oh well, hopefully the visuals will be distracting enough.

I'm excited to hear some of the wonderful artists on this, especially Tokio Hotel, Kerli, Robert Smith, Mark Hoppus, Wolfmother, and Owl City. I'm not too fond of All American Rejects, Metro Station, or 3OH!3, but I'll give them the benefit of the doubt. I trust that this soundtrack will be wonderful and well worth being part of a Tim Burton/Johnny Depp collaboration. :)

to the Anonymous random that said "All Time Low is a joke", they are not a joke and they do not rip kids off. They are a good band that the teenage generations relate to. And before you go saying that im just a stupid 13 year old who doesn't know what im on about, your wrong. 1) im not 13. 2) different music appeals to different people. Something you may like, someone else may not. It's all a matter of opinion. All Time Low have worked hard to get to were they are and they diserve all that they get out of it wether it be good or bad. I had the pleasure of meeting them and they are really nice guys. So although the track listing for this soundtrack may not be an amazing one, someone worked hard to put it together and all the artists worked had to reord the songs on it. Deal with the fact that not everything is goung to be perfect.
