4.0 out of 5 stars BFS Goes to the Movies, January 4, 2006

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.

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...

This cd clearly doesnt have the cohesion of a normal studio album, as it is a compilation of songs released on soundtracks and other miscellaneous cuts, but oddly enough, this is one of Bowling For Soup's better cds. There are a lot of fun songs on here. The "Gilligan's Island" theme and "I'll Melt With You" are great covers. Best tracks are "Undertow," and "Little Red Riding Hood." The Britney Spears cover isn't good, but the rest of the cd is playable all the way through. This is a great cd to add to your collection, definitely worth checking out. The thing I like the best about this band is they're not pretentious about the music they make, they dont take themselves too seriously, and they still make great music. As for this cd, nothing on here is BAD, but in the same breath, nothing on here is spectacular. None of the songs on here pop out, but none of them suck. I don't find myself getting an urge to hear any of these songs, when I put the cd on, I can sing along to all of them and get lost in the music and never skip a song. A very consistent cd.
