Free Music Review: Love this Bubblegum Euro stuff
Hit: 5 Stars
This genre is the musical equivalent of caramel covered cotton candy: it'll rot your teeth, but man oh man is it ever yummy.
Let's be honest: it's silly, mindless, utterly formulaic and dripping with sugary lyrics. However, sometimes that's just what you are in the mood for, and I defy anyone not listen to this stuff without breaking out in the biggest feel good grin you ever had, all the while dancing around to the catchy hooks and happy melodies.
Toy Box is one of many "groups" to come out of the typical Euro dance mold, following in the footsteps of bands like Aqua, Daze, Hit 'n Hide, and the Vengaboys.
Yes, they all sound the same, leaving you to think that it's the same male/female duo performing all these songs under different monikers. This might be true, but you know what? who cares!
I love this stuff, it makes the morning commute while I am stuck in traffic so much easier to take when silly catchy songs like "Super Duper Man" are blasting through my sound system at inviscerating volumes. (Super Duper Man is, by far, my favorite)
If you like this group, then check out tracks by similar artists like:
1) Papaya: Sugarboy
2) Papaya: Pink Dinosaur
3) Tempo feat Manola: Everybody get up!
4) Hit 'n Hide: Space Invaders
5) Anything by the Vengaboys
This is the kind of stuff you want to hear when you are on vacation at an all inclusive resort in the tropics with a drink in one hand, and your cares are left at home where they belong.
Enjoy!
Free Music Review: Fantastic!
Hit: 5 Stars
This CD is one of the best CDs I have ever heard in my life! Best Friend - Best Friend is the best songs on this CD, (thats what I think)and it is my favorite CD! Tarzan & Jane - Tarzan & Jane is really good, too. I love the beat to it and their voices. E.T. - E.T. is about the third or forth best song on this CD. It is a really good song just like every other song, though.The rest of the CD rocks. I love to dance to the CD. You could get up, put on the CD and shake your bodie all day! The amazon CD rank for the CD shouldn't be this high! It should at least be in the top 100!
If you can't dance to this CD, or you don't like it, your pulse is probably dead! Who can't like this CD. (probably only people that like heavy metal)
Toy Box is going to be a top seller soon. If it isn't they probably won't be existing any more. I can feel it in my bones that in about 2005 between 2007 (about) Toy Box is going to hit #1 on the charts.
This is one of the best CDs you will ever find this good (I think) so I suggest you buy it!
Free Music Review: Exactly what I expected
Hit: 5 Stars
I don't buy many CD's, but I planned to buy this from the moment I saw the Tarzan & Jane video (before the album was released in the U.S.). It is, by and large, pure dancing fun. The lyrics *are* cheesy and silly for the most part, but it's part of the album concept (and that I won't explain because I can't do it justice with brevity -- you'll just have to buy it and see). In general, I am convinced that this kind of dance music is the descendant of early '80s New Wave, and I think the association is more evident in this album than in many dance albums. I will also say that there are a couple of tracks that are saccharine 'slow' (for Toy-Box) love songs. In that respect, I would characterize this album as a school-dance album, with no negative implications. So basically this was exactly what I expected: a lightweight, bouncy dance album that oozes fun. If they keep this up, I'll keep buying their albums.Free Music Review: Booty-licious Music

Hi.Hello.
Hey.
We're the three girls of Alice Bootay. Judy, Gaby, and Jane. And we just want to let the world know that there is STILL fun, purely danceable music out there. We hope to redefine the music world like it was before when music was just for entertainment. Now everyone's so SERIOUS about their music. Damn, people. You're not supposed to sit down when you're listening to music. Get up and shake yo' bootay's on the dancefloor. Fellow dance group Toy-Box here is contributing in a major way. Their music is just too fun to resist. Lyrics that would be considered XXX to PG in seconds, beats that are groovy, jammin, slammin, and melodic, and Anila and Amir's shining personalities gives their music a bubbly, tasteful flavor. Our favorite tracks are Best Friend; Eenie, Meenie, Miney, Mo; and What About.
It wouldn't be a bad idea to get our album too, "Who Needs Lingerie Anyway?"
Free Music Review: Very fun cd! If you liked Aqua...
Hit: 5 Stars
Then you'll probably like this cd. =) The band sounds a LOT like Aqua (I at times compared the cd covers to see if the people even looked alike ^.^) Okay, I'll definitely admit that the lyrics are pretty fluff-filled and watered-down. I mean, "ET is an alien and he is kinda spacey" was definitely a put-off the first time I heard that track. :P But the music itself (ignoring the lyrics) is very fun, and very danceable... you probably remember the "Tarzan and Jane" song on the radio a few years ago (was actually pretty popular) and sone of the tracks (lyric-wise) really aren't bad... and some are just hillarious. (The Superman song cracks me up every time I hear it.)
All in all, this is not a "serious" album or something you'd probably hear in a dance club, but it's definitely a lot of fun. And if you like Aqua, I'll bet you'll like this cd. ^.^
