Editorial Reviews

When it comes to morphing, Power Rangers producer Haim Saban is no slouch himself, having seen his efforts at translating and marketing a '70s Japanese kids' action show originally called Dinosaur Task Force Zyuranger blossom into a billion-dollar pop-culture empire. This soundtrack chronicles the musical side of the Saban/Power Rangers saga, collecting 16 tracks that span the 1990s' "Go, Go Power Rangers" through the show's Turbo and Zeo phases to its more recent Wild Force incarnation. For the uninitiated, the music here is a long way from cutesy Hanna-Barbera jingles; Saban (who's credited with cowriting many of the tracks) and his studio sidemen have concocted convincing facsimiles of everything from bracing, metallic techno-thrash to harmony-driven modern rock and the swaggering hip-hop of "I Will Rescue You." Powered largely by thunderous bass and drums and punctuated by screaming guitar solos, it's an unlikely bastion for Metallica-lite speed-metal sensibilities, but one that fits its flashing spandex heroes to a "T." --Jerry McCulley

5.0 out of 5 stars It is the 'Best of the Best', February 12, 2003

Power Rangers have hit a new level in awesome rock music. Everyone of these songs is something you can jam to. Even if you aren't a Power Ranger fan, this music still sounds great and is so much fun to listen to. I recommend everyone get this CD, especially for song #3... 'Best of the Best of the Best'. This is the most awesome song to rock to I have ever heard. It energizes you and makes you feel great!!

1.0 out of 5 stars A Butchery of Classics, November 29, 2007

By	K Dehqanzada (Stony Brook, New York United States) - See all my reviews

I bought this C.D. with the understanding that many of my favorites wouldn't be on it. However, I didn't know that the original and Turbo theme songs would be redone (for the worse.) Another negative review states that only three of the songs are from the series. I would assume that those songs are tracks 6, 7, & 8. 6 is from the Turbo Power Rangers Movie. 7 & 8 are from the Zeo series. If you're willing to buy the album for these three alone, go ahead. Otherwise, you're probably in for a disappointment.

2.0 out of 5 stars NOT THE BEST OF THE POWER RANGERS, February 20, 2004

By	H. waheedi - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Best of the Power Rangers: Songs from the TV Series (Audio CD)

There are many great songs for the power rangers.Where are they? I guess the producers have included what they like.I'm not saying the songs here are bad but there are other better songs that were ignored.However, i dont blame them; there is no way to include all of them in one CD.
Try to wait and hope for another better volume to be released.
