Free Music Review: Now 8
Hit: 4 Stars
Overall, a definate great CD. I love various artist compliations. You get a little more variety than your average CD. Heres my opinion:
1. Destiny's Child, "Bootylicious": Good song, a little pointless...but catchy and easy to dance to. I don't really like the lyrics...kinda stupid. But it's good for what it is-- a dance song. I give it 3/5
2.*NSYNC, "Pop": Classic pop song. Not my favourite...but I understand why they included it. It WAS a pretty big hit for them. And I admit, it's a cute song. 4/5
3. Jennifer Lopez, "I'm Real": Doesn't quite live up to a few of her other hits. In my opinion, they should have used the Remix with Ja Rule. It was a bigger hit and a little catchier. But not a bad song overall. 2/5
4. Joe, "Stutter": Would be MUCH better with out the Mystikal Rap part. But its a nice R&B tune..you have to be in the right mood. Its one of those song that plays the chorus over..and over...and over..and over. Not bad though. I enjoy it from time to time. 4/5
5. Janet, "Someone To Call My Lover": Janet, as always has come through. Shes an amazing performer..and although this song was overplayed...it's great. Can't get enough of it. 5/5
6. Christina Millian, "Am To Pm": Theres was a lot of hype over this song. And its not a BAD song...but I'm not to into. I'm just not feeling it...it's not even that catchy. I think she needs a little more following. 2/5
7. Jessica Simpson, 'A Little Bit": One of my favourites. Didn't get nearly the airplay it deserved..but wonderful pop song. Catchy, good lyrics, nice beat, easy to dance to. Love it. 5/5
8. Mandy Moore, 'Crush": Love this one as well. I love Mandy, shes one of my favourite female vocalist (next to Nina Gordon of course). Not much to say about her....she's great. Good song for her vocal range..most people dont find it catchy, so they don't fully take in the whole effect. But very sweet song. 5/5
9.Aaliyah, "Rock The Boat": Good tribute to Aaliyah. But I dont like the song. It was a big hit. And its not a good song at all. It was good of them to put it on here though...I usually skip over it though. 1/5
10.Usher, "U Got It Bad": Wonderful. Definately the best ballad on this CD. It's a huge hit for him..and he works VERY well with ballads. I've never been a big fan of Usher. But you gotta love this song. Adorable lyrics and good beat. 5/5
11. Backstreet Boys "More Than That": Ehh... Its Backstreet Boys...they're okay. This is not one of their better songs. It's not very catchy...a little strained vocally. I personally think they work better with upbeat songs...but it's not a BAD song. It's good for what it is. 3/5
12. Gorillaz "Clint Eastwood": Am I the only person who doesnt get the title? Hmm..anyway..most people seem to think this song is "weird" but I like it. I admit, it took a little while to get used to..but it definatly grows on you. Love the harmonica. 4/5
13. Wiseguys/Greg Nice "Start The Commotion": Good dance song. Good background music as well. It' a cute song, a little slow lyrically, but great beat. 4/5
14.JiveJones "Me Myself and I" - I, personally, had never heard of this guy before. But GREAT song. Can't believe it didn't get more airplay. A little unpolished...but once you get used to it...you'll love it. 4/5
15. Smash Mouth "I'm A Believer"- Ugh. This is a Monkees song. Smash Mouth didn't deliver it quite as well..but it is catchy. I admit, it does make me smile though. 2/5
16. Sum 41 "Fat Lip": Love it. Upbeat. Great dance Song. Cant get enough of it. The best on the album. 5/5
17. blink-182 "The Rock Show": Overplayed. But it's definatly better than most of Blink's stuff. It's great until you get sick of it. 5/5
18. Fuel "Bad Day": A lot of people like this song. I hate it. It's annoying and depressing. 0/5
19. 3 Doors Down "Be Like That": One of the best lyrical songs on here. I love it...great for relaxation and inspiration. I could listen to it over and over. Great song. 5/5
20. U2 Walk On: This wansn't even a hit. But beautiful song and good ending. Doesn't quite live up to Joshua Tree though..and that threw me off. 4/5
Now That's What I Call Music! 8 Poster
This volume of the chart-survey series is its best yet, offering stellar examples of nearly every subgenre it approaches. Interestingly, the platinum machine's eighth outing is also its most subtle (the take-your-time sultriness of Aaliyah's "Rock the Boat," Usher's "U Got It Bad") and teasingly offbeat (Gorillaz's dub-wise sleeper "Clint Eastwood," the Wiseguys' noise-hop "Start the Commotion") moments. Whether this indicates a trend toward the return of a higher-quality singles chart has yet to be determined, but save for a small handful of crummily derivative nontunes from Jessica Simpson, Fuel, and 3 Doors Down, the music here makes a good case for itself. Could a broadening definition of what's mainstream be fomenting? Caveats: 'N Sync's "Pop" is included in a remix that bleeds the record of some of its novelty, while Jennifer Lopez's "I'm Real" appears without the Ja Rule rap that helped lift it to bestseller status. --Rickey WrightDance & DJ Music CDs
