Dont Know What To Think

I'm thinking about buying this cd. Why? It has a handful of my favorite songs and well,yeah, thats it. It could have been better but I bet all the songs missing on this collection, will be on Now 20. (I can't believe it got to 19! It seems like just yesterday I was watching a tv ad for Now 2. Jeez, time flies!)

not the best NOW; only a few great songs

9. la tortura: and another one that i didnt know of before i got the cd..i was surprised they had a spanish song but i think it's great..i found a translation at shakira.com and the lyrics r good too..pleasant surprise..9/10

10. baby i'm back: it's a little catchy too but it can get annoying..cant decided if i like it or not..6/10

11. how to deal: i like the lyrics and the song's ok but a little boring for my taste..his other obsession song is better..6/10

Shrek - Music from the Original Motion Picture

Like The Muppet Show or The Simpsons, Shrek is tiered with visual appeal, fantasy, and sophisticated humor that appeals to children and adults on two mutually exclusive levels. Judging by the soundtrack alone, there is some genuine emotion coming from this movie; Rufus Wainwright, the Proclaimers, and especially the Eels all pen winsome, longing tunes. Dana Glover's "It Is You (I Have Loved)" represents the soundtrack's requisite glossy ballad, but it's better than most, and John Powell's climactic, orchestral "True Love's First Kiss" makes one wish there was a full score to accompany this soundtrack. On the flip side, Smash Mouth cover the Monkees' "I'm a Believer" with a groovy treatment of crunchy hip-hop beats, and Leslie Carter (sister of Aaron and Nick) gives a perky performance on the Britney-esque "Like Wow!" The soundtrack squeezes the last drops of juice from the overplayed Smash Mouth hit "All Star," but other than that, it strikes a great balance between cute-but-not-precious pop hits, and more grown-up songs that are well within reach of young ears. --Beth Massa

Customer Review:

The movie may be good, but the music is sucky

This is the perfect CD for taking a nap to. It's mostly full of slow pop and rock. If you're a fan of this type of music, I recommend this CD, but if not, don't buy it. There are only a few good tracks. All Star, Bad Reputation, I'm A Believer, Stay Home. And I don't enjoy buying a CD that only 1/3 of it is good. So, I wouldn't buy it, if I were you.

Great soundtrack for a great film

Every track is great, and every track fits so well with what is happening in the film while the track is being played. What more could you want?

Wonderful

Hey guys and gals. I love this soundtrack... i really do. There is one song on it that means so much to me and its called "you belong to me" by Jason wade of lifehouse. the reason why it means so much to me is that... Last summer my then boyfriend made me a cd with this song on it, along with other beautiful ones and i was listening to it today and all the memories just came rolling back. I don't know if i should be saying this.... but I still love him! I don't know why we parted.. that is still unknown.. i guess one day it all stopped. but this song is a classic.. I love it. Cheers

Listen To Your Heart

---

Customer Review:

I Love D.H.T.!

This CD is amazing. If you like Ace of Base, you will like D.H.T. The whole time I was listening to it, I thought it sounded like a new Ace of Base CD! This is a must buy!

Not quite what I expected

I bought this CD thinking it would be mostly dance music, like their single "Listen to Your Heart". After listening to all the songs, I was kind of disappointed. There are a few dance songs, but most of it is a little slower. The music is still great, but don't buy it expecting to have upbeat tempo trance/dance type music.

What D.H.T has going for it... and against it

Lacking lyrical gusto not withstanding, this album offers a bit of a feel good rush. The covers are done well... "Listen To Your Heart" is a moving rush as a dance track and hauntingly sad with just a piano and the lead singer as the bonus remix featured on the album. "At Seventeen" is a bitingly harsh look at teenage life with some rather thought provoking lyrics that make you wonder if the beauty who is singing them really can relate to whom they were intended for. "Drivers Seat" offers a deliciously intriguing verse followed by a dud of a chorus. What is the point of the Drivers Seat... is it just there or is it supposed to offer some odd devine direction... the song left me wanting more of the flow that the verses offered. "I Can't Be Your Friend" is a humerous look at wanting to advance to the next step and it is set to a catchy beat that makes the car shake. "My Dream" is poetic but offers no symbolic solution. The dream is lovely and a sign of the times, but the realisim of it is lost in the shuffle of silly rhyming. "Sun" while having the makings of being another annoying "Macarena" hit, is a catchy fun song. The words are meant to take you nowhere... just to get you grooving. "Depressed" is just the message our youth needs today... (not really) as the song is almost blatantly about killing yourself to "end the misery" and again you are left wondering if the lead singer relates or just sings the words.
All in all, the album is feel good fluff with some fairly decent vocals and catchy beats and melodies. I find it amusing that the covers are the best songs because face it, the writing on the origional songs could use a bit of development. Still, it is a decent album... although I do wish it was longer.

Customer Review:

THIS IS FANTASTIC!

This is a must have for any Gilmore Girl Fan!
It has all the different "la la la's" that they play when something good is happening or when something sad is happening. Plus they have the song that they played when Lorelai and Rory made the snowwoman who had stroke mouth!
Must have, must have, must have!

If you love the Gilmore Girls, you'll love the soundtrack

My name is Paige and I am 15 and I loved this CD. I loved the soundtrack, I got a lot of use out of it and I could listen to all day. Don't burn it, buy it, the cover and inside stuff you can't get when you burn it. It's a great CD. If you are as huge of a Gilmore Girls fan as I am, than you'll love the CD as much as I do.

gilmore girls cd

I love Gilmore girls and I love music so this puts together 2 things I love in one thing. I give it 5 stars for perfect.
