Hit: 4 Stars
Well I'm 24 years old and I'm reviewing a Chipmunk CD. Therefore, you can easily say a dork is reviewing this, and it's probably credible!
My dad grew up with the Chipmunks, I grew up with the Chipmunks, and now my son is. It's sort of a family tradition! Even my mother and my grandmother still love them! To quote them, "They rock!"
So, of course I picked up this latest addition to their catalog, which is also the soundtrack to their first live-action movie. The first song "Bad Day" started up, and already I liked it. I'd easily say it's one of the best songs on the CD. Other standout cuts include "Only You" and the rock version of "The Chipmunk Song". (You had to have known that "Chipmunk Song" and "Which Doctor" would be re-recorded yet again for this! But no biggie.)
The only song I seem to skip every time I listen to this is "Ain't No Party". I just think it's absolutely terrible. Then there are a few songs that aren't quite as good, but they aren't really bad either. (Such as "Get Munked").
It's nice to have the "classic" versions of "Which Doctor" and "Chipmunk Song" on here, particularly "Which Doctor". This version is from 1958, which was originally released under the name "David Seville". This is not the re-recording done for the second Chipmunks album, but in fact the original first version. This used to be somewhat of a hard recording to find (well, at least for me anyways) so it's very nice to have.
So, all in all, if you grew up with these guys like I did, then I don't think you will be too disappointed with this. Now I can't wait to go see the movie! My parents took me to go see "The Chipmunk Adventure", and now I get to go take my son to see this!
Free Music Review: Generally a nice change from the classic...

Before anyone tries to discount my review and think that I'm not a credible source, I am 22 years old, a college graduate, and an educator.
I've just come home from watching the movie. Though the movie itself was cute and average, the soundtrack blew me away! I usually dislike remixes or any deviation from the original version, but several of the songs on this album impressed me. My personal favorite is the remixed version of "Witch Doctor." "Only You (And You Alone" is a close second with the Chipmunks' version of "Bad Day"--in my opinion--being better (and cuter) than the original. All other songs were okay, but it was worth buying the album for me.
Listening to the Chipmunks is a trip back to my childhood. I grew up listening to the Chipmunks, especially during the holiday season. I hope that when I do have children that they will also appreciate and grow up with the Chipmunks just as I have.
Free Music Review: Not too bad...for chipmunks...

I was really little when the original Chipmunks were on TV. But I still remember the words to their songs. I hate to say it but I really enjoyed this silly movie. Okay...it's not quite the same but I think they did a great job. The only thing I was sorry for was that the songs on the CD weren't exactly what you heard in the movie. I know they have their reasons for doing that, but it would have been nice if they were. I still had to buy the soundtrack. What WAS nice was that they included the old version of both "Witchdoctor" and the Christmas song...sorry I can't remember the exact name of it. I think they call it the Chipmunk song. You all know what it is. I'm glad both were on there for us old timers who might remember the original songs.
