This magnificent live in-concert CD opens with the South Park Theme by Primus, assisted by the lovable urchins (is that the ill-fated Kenny's muffled voice?) and concludes with a distinctive sound associated with the Canadian superstars Terrance and Phillip. Chef charmingly introduces the artists, from Crystal Method, Ozzy Osborne, DMX and Dirty Ol' Bastard doing Nowhere To Run after a rather rude introduction. This is followed by a stunning solo performance by Chef on the soulful Chocolate Salty Balls.

A highlight of the album is Eric Cartman's stirring rendition of Come Sail Away, performed with a maturity that belies his age. This is really gorgeous. Brad Logan by Rancid is a passionate slab of angry rock as is Hot Lava by Perry Farrell. The South Park urchins appear with Wyclef Jean on the tuneful ballad Bubblegoose. Wake Up Wendy sees Elton John in a rocking mood on this great love song with its rollicking keyboards, whilst Huboon Stomp by Devo represents a welcome return by these 1980s new wavers and Love Gravy is a surprisingly soulful duet by the legendary Ike Turner and Rick James.

Feel Like Makin' Love by Ned Gerblansky sounds like something by The Residents, and another highlight is H°m0 Rainbow by Ween, sensitively introduced by Chef, and what a beautiful rock ballad it is! Speaking of which, Meat Loaf puts in a sparkling, if somewhat over-energized, performance on his duet with Chef, Tonight Is Right For Love. The chef manages to restrain him, and they conclude the song in soulful harmony to rapturous applause.

Next up is Joe Strummer with It's A Rockin' World, an impressive old-style rock song. Mentally Dull by Vitro and the South Park Cast concludes this riveting live album and here one can hear not only the urchins but their wonderful mothers too, on a fabulous grand finale. Chef Aid is remarkable in its diversity, with shlt hot rock, hip-hop, funk and smooth soul by the lovable Chef himself; it's the best live album in my collection. Sure it's a bit rude here and there but so is popular culture nowadays.

I really recommend this cd to all South Park fans. I like its country like sound effects and Cartman's singing has improved, but really I like Stan. If you're a fan of South Park and you're a Stan fan, you'll like the way he sings.If you like South Park and you don't like Stan and you wish he was dead and not Kenny, maybe the way Stan sings'll change your mind.

This is one of the best cd's I've ever heard. It is very funny and it cheers you up. I like Chocolate Salty Balls the best. It's the funniest one in the cd.

I bought this tape,just a few months ago.No big deal,was my first thought.But after just one week of nonstop-loudness,South park began to get to me.Now I always listen to my south park tape everywhere I go-bus,walking,in my house. This tape MUST become a hit (Come on,pay up,everybody!!!!)South park rocks the world!

This album makes a nice addition to any SP collection or if you like any of the artists. The only songs that I felt were in bad taste were "Feel Like Making Love" and "Huboon Stomp". My favorites are "Come Sail Away", "Horny", "Wake Up Wendy", and "Mentally Dull". If you like extreme-beat muisc and/or South Park, you can't go wrong with this album.

I love this c.d. I listened to it because my boyfriend has this c.d. and I listen to it all the time. I think that the funniest song on the c.d is the song that Cartman sings.

All you south park lovers, you need this. It is the best music source and it is funny as heck. Buy this CD, espicially from Amason.com!

If you like the show you shall love the soundtrack. It has all the songs you love and more. This is only for die hard South Park fans or people who want a CD that will crack the $hit out of you.
