6 Choose \soummicE MATT CHEVERTON Staff Writer MTV'S BUZZ BIN Assorted artists *1/2 (out ot tour stars) "MTVs Buzz Bin" compilation CD is like most others of its type. It has a few great songs which may tempt you to buy it, but many of the tracks just pass by unnoticed. "MTVs Buzz Bin" is made up of alternative music played on MTV from 1988-95. It is difficult to escape the feeling that this album has been put together purely to cash in on the growing popularity of alternative music. The problem with much of this album is that it reflects MTVs policy on alternative music, which is inherently conservative, and gives preference to We' alternative rock bands at the expense of more original and exciting forms of alternative music. call W&& WW? mwM < v. i?:;$x-x 1 WW?
