That's what I think

Dont Know What To Think

I'm thinking about buying this cd. Why? It has a handful of my favorite songs and well,yeah, thats it. It could have been better but I bet all the songs missing on this collection, will be on Now 20. (I can't believe it got to 19! It seems like just yesterday I was watching a tv ad for Now 2. Jeez, time flies!)

Love. Angel. Music. Baby.

On No Doubt's great Rock Steady, Gwen Stefani was a "girl that hangs with the boys... just sippin' on chamomile." Three years and a KROQ-nerd Talk Talk cover later, she presents a solo debut that wants it all--Vivienne Westwood and John Galliano, backseat love and lifetime devotion, '70s pop throwbacks and hip-hop beats as well as Clash adoration (she continues to be managed by the firm of Rebel Waltz, named for a mournful Sandinista! cut). Among the standout tracks are the stomping, Neptunes-driven "Hollaback Girl," the tongue-in-cheek Eve/Dr. Dre collaboration "Rich Girl," and the girl-power manifesto "What You Waiting For?"; another tune, "The Real Thing," nods toward role-model Madonna's "Holiday." Though it can't match Rock Steady's inexorable track-by-track flow, Love, Angel, Music, Baby is such state-of-the-art pop that the description almost feels like damning it with faint praise. --Rickey Wright

Customer Review:

GOOD Album GOOD Songs

Her Songs are a WHOLE LOT BETTER than the other crap thats out there!

Fluff but fun

I have a very eclectic taste in music, but purchased this CD knowing exactly what I was getting and was not disappointed. It is pure and simple fluff with a great beat. As a 45 year old, with heavy job responsiblities, I love that Gwen has been able to provide something with a mindless lyric, but a great beat. I truly enjoy all of the songs on the album. Is this a record for serious music listeners, no. But come on - get over yourself and just enjoy it for pure enjoyment sake.

"Imagination"

Gwen Stefani has some of the best "Imagination" in her work I have ever seen! what a great explosion of color in music. I have not enjoyed and been inspired my music like this since high school. Gwen Stefani has come into o here own.

Madagascar

Most of the older songs included on the soundtrack to this animated feature are so well-known that they border on well-worn (Vangelis' Chariots of Fire theme has to be one of the most reused pieces of 20th-century music ever) but their feel-good quotient is also hard to deny. (Earth, Wind & Fire's "Boogie Wonderland" again? Sure, bring it on!) Still, it's hard not to wish the brains behind this CD had included snippets from the movie, considering it features the vocal talents of Ben Stiller, Chris Rock, and David Schwimmer. (One of the soundtrack's draws is a cover of Reel 2 Real's early ‘90s hit "I Like to Move It" by Sacha Baron Cohen (a.k.a. Ali G), who voices one of the characters. The track could well turn into the kind of kiddie hit inescapable at the coolest birthday party this year. The other big draw is "Best Friends," a catchy tune halfway between the Beach Boys and Belle & Sebastian that shows that composer Hans Zimmer can do lighthearted whimsy when needed. --Elisabeth Vincentelli

Customer Review:

fun cd Madagascar

This was a fun - pick me up kind of cd. My kids loved the movie and music. If you liked the movie, you will love the cd

One of the funniest movies of the year!

I saw this movie with my sons 3 times and it was just as good each time! The movie was great and we love to sing "I Like to Move It" in the car!

Move It

I specially bought this soundtrack for my four year old granddaughter who, after seeing the movie with me, couldn't stop singing "I like to Move It". She doesn't seem to mind Sasha Cohen talking through it, because there was talking in it during the movie also. She plays it everytime she can and drives her parents crazy when she asks for it while traveling in the car.

Customer Review:

Outstanding Introduction To Mehdi !

I've always enjoyed Steven Halpern and this album is no exception, but while reading some of the customer recommendations posted on this page I discovered a group by the name of Mehdi (pronounced meddie). After an online search I found their site (SoothingMusic,Com) and listened to the samples...
I was instantly blown away by the quality of this music and so I gave it a try and now that I have listened to these CDs several times I really must say that although I'm still a Steven Halpern fan I find Mehdi to be a great addition to this CD. I have them both in my multi-disc CD player and love the way they compliment each other. I highly recommend that you give this artist a try or atleast just go listen to the samples, I have a feeling you'll be glad you did.

Completely Mystical....

I LOVE this type of 'escaping reality' music! I'm a writer of fantasy -- the mystical type, and this BEAUTIFUL music is just what I need to journey there... into the magic... into the otherworldly realms of my heart...

Dream Time.....

After listening to many albums in this genre-it is AMAZING to find one that stands out among all the others. This is a masterpiece for those wishing to calm the inner man. I just know that after listening to this-the world does seem to slow down a bit!!!!!! Relax-and ddddrrreeeaaammmmm
