This is a fun CD, more for kids than adults. It has loads of authentic sound effects from a pirate ship and pirates cavorting in the background set to music. However these are nice pirates, not the mean and nasty sort. They seem to look out for each other and give free advice to a new pirate. A few of the songs are memorable and fun for adults too.

The only thing I didn't like was the sudden change from authentic sounding period instruments, to the next song having an electric guitar. It was a little jolting. If I had read the editorial review closer I would have seen the words "Rock band" so I don't blame the musicians. It was worth the price.

I have four boys ages 1, 4, 7, and 12, and they *all* love this CD. The adults love it too, and after having it for a month and playing it pretty often, we like it more than ever.

The songs range from a lovely environmental ballad about the manatee to a rolicking Monty Python-esque song called Scurvy that never fails to get us up dancing.

A quality that I really appreciate as a parent, is the emphasis on the camaraderie among the pirates, the kindness they show for each other. The amazing thing is that, this is all done without an ounce of sappiness!

To sum up, every song on this CD is fantastic, it's definately a must have for any child even remotely interested in pirates!

This is one fun CD and a great band. I have to admit that I bought this CD for myself after catching the band play live. After my son was born, I started playing it for him and was not surprised to see that he loves it too. Now that he is over a year old, he is dancing to it and it won't be long before the singing starts. The album is well crafted and takes you on a journey with stories and music. As you listen, it's not hard to imagine yourself on the deck of a pirate ship with the wind in your hair and surrounded by your loyal crewmates. Most children's CDs drive me mad, especially after repeated playing. This one gets better and better every time I hear it and that is a good thing since it gets played every single day. Har!
