Music reviews of Alvin & The Chipmunks
Music Review: An absolute dork's review
Rating: 4 Stars
Well I'm 24 years old and I'm reviewing a Chipmunk CD. Therefore, you can easily say a dork is reviewing this, and it's probably credible!
My dad grew up with the Chipmunks, I grew up with the Chipmunks, and now my son is. It's sort of a family tradition! Even my mother and my grandmother still love them! To quote them, "They rock!"
So, of course I picked up this latest addition to their catalog, which is also the soundtrack to their first live-action movie. The first song "Bad Day" started up, and already I liked it. I'd easily say it's one of the best songs on the CD. Other standout cuts include "Only You" and the rock version of "The Chipmunk Song". (You had to have known that "Chipmunk Song" and "Which Doctor" would be re-recorded yet again for this! But no biggie.)
The only song I seem to skip every time I listen to this is "Ain't No Party". I just think it's absolutely terrible. Then there are a few songs that aren't quite as good, but they aren't really bad either. (Such as "Get Munked").
It's nice to have the "classic" versions of "Which Doctor" and "Chipmunk Song" on here, particularly "Which Doctor". This version is from 1958, which was originally released under the name "David Seville". This is not the re-recording done for the second Chipmunks album, but in fact the original first version. This used to be somewhat of a hard recording to find (well, at least for me anyways) so it's very nice to have.
So, all in all, if you grew up with these guys like I did, then I don't think you will be too disappointed with this. Now I can't wait to go see the movie! My parents took me to go see "The Chipmunk Adventure", and now I get to go take my son to see this!
Description of Alvin & The Chipmunks
Here comes trouble...Aaaalllllllvvvvvin!!!
The #1 children's act of all time is back! Alvin and the Chipmunks pick up right where they left off, with the soundtrack to the new FOX film.
The group consists of three singing chipmunks: Alvin, the mischievous troublemaker, who quickly became the star of the group, Simon, the tall bespectacled intellectual, and Theodore, the chubby, impressionable sweetheart. The trio is "managed" by their human "father" and confidant, David Seville who is played by Jason Lee in the film.
The music on the album is prominently featured throughout the film as the Chipmunks navigate the perils of the music industry and fame. In addition to classic versions of their top tunes ("Witch Doctor" and the "Christmas Song"), these new songs update the chipmunks sound and are sure to appeal not only to kids but to mom, dad, grandma and grandpa - who all grew up with Alvin, Simon and Theodore!
The Chipmunks may have been CGI-ized but the helium-distorted, super-high-pitched singing style of Alvin, Simon and Theodore has been preserved. If you have kids or are a kid at heart (with a special fondness for novelty tunes), this is a goldmine. The 'munk classic "The Chipmunk Song (Christmas, Don?t Be Late)" is covered twice: the "DeeTown OG Mix" is a fairly faithful version, while the "DeeTown Rock Mix" goes the emo-lite route; another nugget, "Witch Doctor," also gets dusted up, with the addition of a so-so rap. Nice bonus: The 1958 versions of these two songs are included as well, for old times' sake. Newer tracks are just as zany. The CD starts off with a take on David Powter's hit "Bad Day," which sounds completely insane done Chipmunk-style; "Funky Town" is downright hair-rising. The DeeTown Syndicate not only produced it all but also contributes several songs of its own that waffle between corny hip-hop ("How We Roll") and contempo Disney Channel style ("Coast 2 Coast"). It's all really nutty and really fun. --Elisabeth Vincentelli
