Music reviews of Hannah Montana Soundtrack
Music Review: It's a special kind of awful
Rating: 1 Stars
The reviews for this album would have you believe that the Hannah Montana soundtrack is some kind of masterpiece for the ages. 5 Stars is the highest review that you could possibly give an album, and believe it or not, that is the average rating for this particular album.
Let me give you a fair, unbiased take on the album. It's apparent that many of these reviews have been written by either very young children, or by the public relations team of the recording label that released this album. Don't allow yourself to be sucked in by these reviews. This is an irritating collection of songs that were both poorly written and performed. The arrangements are very cheesy, the songs too overproduced (likely to hide the flaws of the performers), and the album as a whole completely lacks any kind of appeal to those over the age of, say, 5. Sample lyrics: "Who said, who said I can't be Superman?". Yeah, great thought provoking stuff right there.
Miley Cyrus is the the young actress/singer behind Hannah Montana. She is the daughter of Billy Ray Cyrus, he of the famed mullet haircut and the ever ubiquitous "Achy Breaky Heart", so clearly she has been groomed for success from a very young age. She might be receiving it, but she has done it by pushing pure, unintelligent, lowest common denominator product to the masses. The messages in the songs on the album seem to promote individuality and defiance in a way that anyone can understand, and Cyrus's vocals are basically thin and spunky. Sound familiar? That's because Disney basically just copied the Lizzie McGuire formula, and tries to present it as something new by slapping a different name on the front. It should come as no surprise, as the same hokey cheese factor that permeates all the original TV shows on the Disney Channel (such as works of art like Phil Of The Future) also runs through all the music that comes from its associated artists (see also weak albums by the likes of Jesse McCartney & Vanessa Hudgens - who said shallow bubblegum went away?). That said, the aforementioned proclamation of individuality is lost on this album's sound, as Cyrus basically alternates between sounding like Avril Lavigne and Britney Spears depending on the track.
In summary: The Hannah Montana soundtrack is basically just a whole lot of sugary, syrupy nonsense, which means that it fits in perfectly with the show that inspired it. Besides the 9 or so songs performed by Cyrus, including a duet with Dad that will surely make your gag reflex kick in, there's an abominable track by the aforemention McCartney, one from the neo-Bay City Rollers (The Click Five), and B5 desecrating the Earth Wind & Fire classic "Shining Star". I know this review won't be popular and will probably garner lots of "Not Helpful" votes, but this review was worth typing if I can enlighten some people into seeing that the Hannah Montana soundtrack is far from a masterpiece. It has even less adult appeal than the "Kidz Bop" series. Basically, I would recommend just about anything other than this. This is the kind of music that kills brain cells. In closing, the advice that I would give to Cyrus is this - when it comes to singing, follow the example of the pose on your album cover ...
