Free Music Notes for WWE Anthology
Free Music Review: WWE Anthology Is Beyond What Words Can Describe...
Hit: 5 Stars
Although I did not purchase WWE Anthology [online], it is a truly tremendous buy wherever you decide to get it if your a WWE fan to the end. What many people fail to realize is that the theme music used in the WWE isn't wrestling music for the nostalgic, its a mix of all kinds of music, from rap to hard rock, soft rock to even R&B, and thats what makes a great album. This 3-CD set journey will keep you rockin' all night, and for some, will bring back old, fond memories of the old times in WWE.CD 1, "The Federation Years", will take you back to the 80's and early to mid 90's with themes like Hulk Hogan - "Real American", Jake "The Snake" Roberts - "Snake Bit", Ultimate Warrior - "Unstable", Shawn Michaels - "Sexy Boy", and Mankind - "Schizophrenic."
CD 2 will take you through the latter part of the 90's, as the WWE moved into what CD 2 is entitled, the "Attitude Era", with memorable tracks such as D-Generation X - "Break It Down", Stone Cold Steve Austin - "I Won't Do What You Tell Me", Chyna - "Who I Am", Mr. McMahon - "No Chance In Hell", and The Rock - "If You Smell...."
And finally, CD 3, "Now!", will bring you straight to the present with current tunes like Brock Lesnar - "Next Big Thing", Eric Bischoff - "I'm Back", Trish Stratus with Lil' Kim - "Time To Rock & Roll", Chris Jericho - "King Of My World" (performed by Saliva), and Undertaker - "You're Gonna Pay."
And with so many more songs to name, it's value is definitely worth every penny. If anyone deserves a lifetime achievement award in this world, it is the composer of nearly all the songs listed on this album-Jim Johnston. I salute you Jim, and thank you for so many wonderful songs you have given us the opportunity of listening to over the years and now.
Free Music Review: Are you a hardcore WWE Fan? Then you gonna love this CD!
Hit: 5 Stars
The CD arrived to me on Wednesday Morning. I was really impressed with the artwork. Inside the CD jacket is a story about how WWE Music history came about and how Jim Johnston's first so-called studio was actually a church basement in 1985, where he had a 4-track tape deck, synthesizer and two guitars.CD 1 has old WWF old with Hogan ripping his shirt and is yello colored.
CD 2 is green and has Triple H giving the "DX" sign.
CD 3 is blue with new "W" logo.
The cosmetics are absolutely beautiful and gave me nastalgia all over.
Now, the music itself:
CD 1: Awesome! All the oldies. I finally get to listen "Corporate Ministry" in clear version. It's a bit mixed, too. But how come its not in CD 2: Attitude Years?
Owen Hart's theme was a mixture of siren theme and "Enough is Enough"
However, my comment is that they should've did 2 Owen Themes, because they had all 3 versions of Undertaker Themes, at least 2 of Triple H's and Jericho's to name a few.
CD 2: Nice! However, Where's Steve Blackman's theme and Al Snow's theme{I can't fine Al Snow heel theme anywhere on the web!} Also, they had the Kurt Angle's alternative theme, which they used a few times during his entrance.
CD 3: CD#1 had 33 tracks; CD#2 has 35 tracks; However, I think WWE rushed a bit with this one, as they only listed 16 tracks and 2 of them were Taker's! Not enough themes in my opinion. They should've at least put a few generic themes of Steven Richards, Johnny Stombolli or Randi Orton.
MY OVERALL SCORE[out of 10]: A solid 8
If you are hardcore fan, you gonna love this one!
Free Music Review: Another classic from WWE!
Hit: 5 Stars
I am a huge fan of WWE and even though their television shows have currently been down, their merchandise has always stayed as great as before. I first bought WWE the music Vol. 5 and loved it! Then I bought Forceable Entry and was far from disappointed. But even I didn't expect Anthology to be as great as it was. Three discs of incredible music.CD #1: The Federation Years
Even though I never watched wrestling back during these days I still found this one exciting. "Real American" - Hogan & "Sexy Boy" - HBK were currently introduced to new fans on television but one of my favorites on this CD was "I Know You Want Me" - Sunny. Don't ask me why but it's great!
CD #2: The Attitude Era
This is the era I was most into. My favorite theme was "It Just Feels Right" - Lita. I heard "Deadly Games" - Theme for In Your House for the first time on this album and it's a good tune. Other favorites are "Bangin' It" - Scotty, "My Time" - Triple H (which is better as Stephanie's theme however), "I Don't Suck" - Kurt Angle (great mix), and "Who I Am" - Chyna.
CD #3: NOW
Quite possibly the best CD in this set, mainly just because it's unrealeased music. Great ones on this album include (all but I'll name a few) "Here Comes The Money" - Shane, "All Grown Up" - Stephanie, "Need A Little Time" - Torrie, "You're Gonna Pay" - Undertaker, "Time To Rock & Roll" - Trish.
So all in all, if you want to purchase a WWE album buy this one. The only thing missing on this one is the music that's on Forceable Entry so getting both of them would give you the complete set.
Free Music Review: The Wrestling Legacy: From Hulk to Brock

Throughout the years, James Johnston has produced over 500+ songs and entrance themes for the WWE superstars ever since 1985. Now, the masterpieces of music that gets the fans in the mood comes in a 3-Cd set for your listening pleasure. I recently bought it an loved it. The 1st contains the innovaters, the showstoppers, and the legends that started the industry. From Hulk Hogan, to Bret Hart, to Shawn Michaels. The 2nd contains the music of the Attitude years of the WWE. From D-Generation X, to Stone Cold Steve Austin, to The Rock, to Chris Jericho. The final CD has the music that keeps the people on their feet today. From The Undertaker, to Brock Lesnar, to Rey Mysterio. Plus, it includes entrance themes done by major recording artists! Trish Stratus' theme done by Lil' Kim, Triple H's theme performed by Naughty by Nature, and Chris Jericho's new theme, "King of My World" by the smash-hit rock group, Saliva. The disc set also comes with a poster containing unforgettable scenes throughout the years. Including Hulk Hogan's 1st matches, DX's christmas "celebration", Stone Cold's beer truck spraying, Lita and Matt Hardy's first kiss, the 1st TLC match, and the F-5 from Brock Lesnar that "ended" Hulk Hogan's career. If you are a big-time wrestling fan, buy this CD set immediately! Makes a good Christmas gift too!BANG! BANG!

Hit: 5 Stars
If you have been watching the WWE since the early years,you should add this to your collection,it has 86 songs,for an amazing price,it also includes a special code,for which,you go to the WWE anthology web site,enter your code,and you can get a special bonus track,pretty cool!on disc 1,the federation years,most songs are cool,I personally like the Ultimate Warriors theme-that rocks.There are 33 songs on disc 1.
on disc 2,the atttitude years-that Is cool as well,it includes some unreleased songs such as Brawl for all theme,Hardcore holly,dx with mike tyson.There are 35 songs on disc 2.
Then we come to disc 3,the best one I think,all the songs are unreleased so that is cool,it has the new WWE DESIRE video theme for chris Jericho "King of my world" sang by rockers saliva,it also has trish stratus's new song sung by lil kim-time 2 rock and roll.It also has the best rock song I have heard!-the 2002 Summerslam theme-Fight!.It also has themes like Brock lesnar,rey mysterio,eric bischoff.But I was dissapointed that the No Mercy 2002 Theme wasn't on it,that song was really good as well....
so finally my verdict,if you love the WWE get this,I did,I was pleased with it,but I was just dissapointed that some new WWE songs wasn't on the third disc
