Editorial Review:
This specially produced 2-CD soundtrack from the hit television series, NCIS, stands apart from TV soundtracks that merely compile a selection of songs that were heard in a series' previous episodes. Instead, this collection features brand new tracks from Blue October, Dashboard Confessional, Oasis, Seether, Jakob Dylan, The Airborne Toxic Event, Saving Abel, Perry Farrell, Will Dailey, Skold vs. KMFDM, Collide and electronica pioneers Nitzer Ebb, all set for prominent placement in NCIS episodes beginning in February 2009, coinciding with the release of this soundtrack.
The album also features recent tracks from Bob Dylan, John Mellencamp, Sharon Little, Keaton Simons and Android Lust - all utilized in recent NCIS episodes - as well as the show's original theme (available commercially for the first time) and a brand new theme remix from industrial music giants, Ministry. NCIS show producers listened to literally dozens of submitted tracks before choosing the ones best suited for upcoming storylines, and from which the show's writers could draw upon for inspiration. As NCIS Executive Producer Shane Brennan explains, ''We've put the same amount of attention and care into the creation of our soundtrack that we do with our show every week. We listened to countless tracks to find the tunes that would not only fit into particular episodes, but would actually help drive our storylines. We couldn't be more thrilled that so many great artists share our vision for integrating music into television and have agreed to offer up new music for our soundtrack. We think the fans will be getting something truly special as a result.''
The soundtrack also features show stars Pauley Perrette (Abby Sciuto), who performs the self-composed ''Fear'' under the moniker Stop Making Friends, and Cote de Pablo (Ziva David), whose memorable performance of Tom Waits' ''Temptation'' from a recent episode is included on the soundtrack. Perrette has an extensive background in music, owning her own independent record label and fronting several bands, and it is her character, Abby, whose music sensibilities in the show serve as the basis for the soundtrack's ''Abby's Lab'' disc.
NCIS: The Official TV Soundtrack Reviews:
Inaccurate product info 
2009-12-17 - Contrary to the picture, this is not the spiffy package done up like a military passport that you may have seen. It's an ordinary CD case. Doesn't affect the quality of the music, of course, but if you were seduced by the nifty packaging, you'd be better off buying it in a brick-and-mortar store.
NCIS: The Official TV Soundtrack 
2009-11-27 - There are some amazingly strong performers and music on this CD. It is a great way to get a lot of different contemporary artists all in one CD. Plus, Pauley Perrette shows that she is not only a talented actress, but a great singer as well.
Tom Watch NCIS ia almost as good as listening to the sound track!!! 
2009-10-08 - Variety of songs which correlate with many of NCIS shows. I am an avid watcher of NCIS and this is another link for me to understand the dynamics of the show. 2 discs-worth the time to listen to and a quality purchase.
Fun CD
2009-09-21 - As a big fan of NCIS, this was a really fun CD to purchase! Lots of "interesting" music!
NCIS fan must have
2009-09-15 - If you love NCIS you need this album for your collection as every song is a hidden hit. Most of the songs were featured on this past seasons episodes so they will be familiar to fans. The songs are great and trust me fans will pick apart which songs they can see their favorite characters listening to. If they come out with a second soundtrack I will not be able to wait to get my hands on it.
