Free Music Review: Keep On Partying Like It's 1985 Hit: 4 Stars
After the surprising success of the first volume of songs from The Wedding Singer soundtrack, a second volume was rushed out containing songs from the movie that didn't appear on the first one. There are some really good and underrated songs like "All I Can Do" by The Cars, "You Make My Dreams" by Hall & Oates & "Space Age Love Song" by A Flock of Seagulls, but the overall quality doesn't match the first. "Holiday" is one of Madonna's lesser songs from the era as is "Private Idaho" by The B-52's. "Too Shy" by Kajagoogoo is the most obvious 80's song on either soundtrack and while it brings back a laugh, you don't want to hear it too often. "Love Stinks" by the J. Geils Band is excellent, but just as with the first edition's use of Ellen Dow on "Rapper's Delight", it would have been great to include Adam Sandler's version from the film as it is one of the movie's highlights.
Free Music Review: Money That is What I Want Hit: 4 Stars
While I may not have been old enough in the 80's to really get into the music seen, good or bad as case may be... I do enjoy my fair share of 80's music now however. Afer seeing "Empire Records" I went around for days sining "Money, that is what I want", as soon as I was able to get to a music store I cought the CD hoping that the song would be on it, to my horror it was not! (It is still a really good CD and I highly recomend it.) But meanwhile back to the song. So then when I saw "The Wedding Singer" and the song was in it I was in heaven. And much to my disapointment when I went out and got the CD, lisining to it first this time, the song once again was not on it. And then CD parte Deux came out and it is on there. So the song it wonderful and so is the rest of the CD, and that is all I have to say.
Free Music Review: Solid sountrack if you liked the movie Hit: 4 Stars
This movie was a favorite in our household and my daughters always enjoyed the karaoke a the end of the DVD, so we searched for the soundtrack. I actually chose this volume over volume 1 for two reasons...it contains the favorite from the movie, "I want to grow old with you" actually sung by Adam Sandler and secondly, because Volume 1 contains the song that Adam Sandler sings about his ex-girlfriend, which contains quite a bit of profanity, so I didn't want to get it for my kids. I would have given it five stars, but we find the introduction by Billy Idol at the start of the last track, "I want to grow old with you," which is dialog from the movie, to be distracting and it gets tiring to have to listen to over and over when you just want to hear the song, which I mentioned was the absolute favorite.
Free Music Review: definitely missing something Hit: 4 Stars
After watching this movie, I was so sure I'd want to go straight out and buy the soundtrack, but the two songs I was looking forward to the most ("99 Luftballons" and Jan Hammer's "Miami Vice Theme") were inexpicably missing from both albums! Oh well, it's still a great collection of 80s music, but I still can't bring myself to purchase it when they let a chance get by to put some of the best songs from the movie on it. BTW, check out Jan Hammer's "Escape from Television" album for the Miami Vice Theme and a bunch more great tunes from the show. I can't say I watched the show much, but it sure had some great music. Anyway, this is about the Wedding Singer sountrack, so buy that too.
