Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars Wow!.......2007-02-10

Enough of these 4-star reviews. I rate this a 6! I own all the BFS albums and this is absolutely, by far, my favorite. It's rare to find an album with so many great songs that carry you away. OK, I admit, I'm a sucker for remakes, and the ones on this album are great. Yeah, they do a remake of Brittney Spears, but so what? The song is fun. Overall the CD is full of positive, high energy music.

4 out of 5 stars Fun CD .......2007-01-10

This was a fun CD of Songs made for Movies, TV events and games and apparently some B sides or other random stuff that wasn't in previous Bowling for Soup albums.

If you are into Britney Spears bashing its fun to hear someone else doing Baby one more time(altho I admit after hearing it once or twice I just skip this song), oddly enough when I got this CD I also bought the Fountains of Wayne B side Double CD and it contained a cover of the same song.

I liked their version of I'll Melt with you. Anyone who was a Teenager in the 80s will always have an affinity for that song. I heard it at the end of Sky High and at first thought it was Weird Al - but when I saw the credits that it was BFS I was hoping to see it on an album and here it was.

The 2 stand outs of the album would be the Star song and Live it up. I think those songs could make it on Air play but haven't heard any station play them.

Undertow was pretty good as well. Those 3 Undertow, Star Song and Live it up being typical BFS songs vs written or covered for movie or entertainment industry projets.

Bottom line - if you are a BFS fan - this album will be a pretty good buy for you.

4 out of 5 stars More Soup Please!.......2006-01-07

I want to start by saying "I LOVE THIS BLOODY BAND!". Now for this album, it is a compilation album of soundtrack songs and others. It is a hit & miss affair throughout. I have to be honest here when it's bad it's really not that bad. 'Greatest Day' is a typical BFS hit single with the snappy beat & sing-a-long chorus. The absolutely horrid Britney Spears song should be left alone. Nobody cares about the awful song and no one does it justice (plenty have tried). 'Here We Go' is another good song with a great little groove ala the Flaming Groovies. There are many moments on this album which make it a good addition to your collection. The true standout tracks are Sam The Shams 'Little Red Ridinghood' & Mathew Sweets 'Sick Of Myself' and have the ability to become hit songs for the best post Green Day pop punk band so far...

4 out of 5 stars BFS Goes to the Movies.......2006-01-05

This record isn't quite as good as some of the other stuff Bowling for Soup has done, but the fun, playful vibe still shows through. Many songs are covers, and I have to say I prefer their original stuff, but it's not bad. If you're new to BFS, you ought to listen to Hangover You Didn't Deserve or Drunk Enough To Dance first. One complaint I have is that the color of the print on the insert doesn't contrast enough with the background- it's extremely difficult to read.
