A bizarre hodge-podge collection comprised of mid-\’90s modern and alternative rockers, MOM: Music for Our Mother Ocean is a benefit album for the conservation society the Surfrider Foundation. Perhaps taking a cue from the organization it is intended to help, MOM isn\’t as sanctimonious or preachy as other benefit albums — it\’s good intentions are an undercurrent on the album, not the overriding concern. Some bands — particularly Pearl Jam, who tears through the surf/hot-rod obscurity, \»Gremmie Out of Control\» by the Silly Surfers — play for fun and laughs, while others — notably Helmet, who turn in a lunkheaded cover of Bjork\’s \»Army of Me\» — take things a bit too seriously. Still, MOM: Music for Our Mother Ocean is a fun listen, even if it isn\’t a memorable one.
