Free Music Notes for Wwe: Raw Greatest Hits the Music
Free Music Review: Lots of good themes
Hit: 4 Stars
I spotted this in my local CD store for like 10 bucks so I decided to buy it. I've always been a fan of the superstars' entrance themes so to have some of them on CD excited me.
Why yes, I'm a recent WWE fan (as of January 2007 actually, but trust me, I'm a fanatic, with 59 DVDs to my name), so I don't own any of the other CD releases made by the WWE over the years. So this CD was a good buy for me personally, hence the high rating.
I like most of the themes offered here, but among the best are:
"Rest In Peace" (Undertaker) - Taker's entrance is probably my all time favourite, and the music that plays when he comes out is just epic so to have it on CD excited me to no end. I adore this instrumental track, it's haunting and just atmospheric. I love it.
"The Time Is Now" (John Cena) - John is one of the only superstars these days who sing (well, rap actually) their own theme song. And I love it! John is my favourite wrestler, and his theme is really catchy and fun to sing along to. One of my favourites.
"The Game" (Triple H) - I'm not a huge fan of rock music but I really love HHH's theme, sung by Motorhead. It's really catchy for a rock track and it fits HHH perfectly. Awesome.
"Slow Chemical" (Kane) - Why did Kane change his theme song?! This is an AWESOME song, probably my favourite non instrumental track on the CD. Finger Eleven did an excellent job with this song, I love it. I love the intro that you didn't hear when Kane used it as his theme. Awesome, awesome, awesome.
"I Walk Alone" (Batista) - Yet another brilliant rock song, performed by Saliva. This fits Batista really well, and the lyrics are really creative and interesting ("this television has a poison on it's breath"). I love this track.
"Are You Ready?" (DX) - One of the WWE's in-house productions, this is just awesome. I never realised till I listened to this how cool DX's theme song is, it's the epitome of DX, with their 'breaking the rules' attitude. Really catchy and I find myself listening to it over and over.
"Break The Walls Down" (Chris Jericho) - Another in-house production, this is awesome. It fits Chris well, and it's really catchy to boot.
"Time To Rock & Roll" (Trish Stratus) - One of the best diva themes, this is sung by Lil Kim, and it's accompanied by Trish laughing throughout it. It fit her well and it's got really cool lyrics.
"No Chance In Hell" (Vince McMahon) - Another in-house production, this is the epitome of Mr McMahon, with the shouty lyrics. It's a really short song though, at only 1:59.
"If You Smell" (The Rock) - I was never a huge Rock fan, but his theme music is really cool. It has no lyrics, but it's strangely compelling for some reason. I like it.
Most of the tracks on here are really good, but I don't like some of them. I have a problem with Shawn Michaels' theme - I'm a huge HBK fan and I LOVE "Sexy Boy" but the version on here is looped, it has a 3:22 running time but that's the song repeated three times. It would have been better if it had only run once - it would have made the song about a minute long, but it would have been way better that way. The loop ruins the track for me.
Overall, this is a really cool CD with loads of awesome themes. If you're a new WWE fan or just don't own any of the previous CD releases, get this. 4 stars.
Free Music Review: A Waste? No!
Hit: 4 Stars
I don't see how people are saying this is a wasted release. It says "Greatest Hits" right on the cover. You are getting exactly what was advertised. How can this be a letdown? It is capitalism at its best, taking advantage of RAW's 15th Anniversary. Plus, there aren't that many NEW themes worth putting out right now. Volume 7 was a waste.
I think there are a few missing tracks that I would have personally included, but for the most part, this is an excellent collection of themes.
Interestingly, I noticed Batista's theme is slightly different in the "bridge" of the song. The guitar solo is more defined and it sounds like there may be an additional guitar in there. I am not a musician, so I don't know what to call it, but compare it to Wreckless Intent's version and you will hear just a slight subtle difference.
Free Music Review: Maybe not the " Greatest " hits
Hit: 4 Stars
Raw Greatest Hits is pretty good. It has a lot of my favorite superstars music on there, like Kane, Triple H, Batista. But I think they could have put more songs on there, like Jeff Hardy's old theme, he's my favorite wrestler and I really miss his old theme, personally I think his new theme sucks. But over all it's pretty good. It seemed to focus on the more older people then the newer ones. Other then that it's still pretty good. 4 out of 5 stars!Free Music Review: Okay...Room 4 Lots More
Hit: 3 Stars
What we have here is the latest musical release from WWE, Raw Greatest Hits, celebrating RAW's 15th Anniversary. Surprisingly, there're only 17 entrance themes considering the number of wrestlers that contributed to RAW's 15 years of fame (many of whom either quit, were fired during the steroid controversy, or jumped ship and moved to TNA...so there's no question why this wasn't a triple album box set like the WWE Anthology).
My favorites are: John Cena(The Time Is Now), Triple H(The Game), Undertaker (Rest In Peace), Batista (I Walk Alone), and Kane( Slow Chemical)
The remaining tracks are good but they've been done(with the exception of the Mr. Kennedy and Melina themes) a million times on a million other WWE album releases. Also, one may note that the sound quality on this release is lacking in comparison to that of the older releases,and some songs sounds slightly abridged. Long story short, the album is too short and too familiar. I strongly recommend the previous releases to this one.
Free Music Review: Missing 2 tracks!!
Hit: 3 Stars
Two tracks are missing from the cd, and the mp3 album. They are "Burn In My Light" (Randy Orton) by Mercy Drive.. and, in my opinion, one of the best theme songs of all time "Here Comes The Money" (Shane McMahon) by Naughty By Nature. These two tracks were supposed to be exclusive to the cd's sold through Walmart. I just checked Walmart.com and the tracks are no longer included. Unfortunately, Shane O Mac's theme was produced by WWE, so it's not available on any Naughty By Nature cd's or mp3's either. It can be found on WWE Anthology 3 disc set, but still not available for download.
