4.0 out of 5 stars Ehhh..., November 7, 2002

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, Vol. 1 - V-Rock (Audio CD)

Overall, this is a pretty awesome CD. I didn't know they actually had good heavy rock music back in the eighties until I played 'Vice City' and flipped on VRock. The problem, as you will probably notice if you've played 'Vice City', is that this CD leaves out AT LEAST three songs that play on VRock in the game, and three really good ones at that. Amazon doesn't have a tracklisting for this album for some reason, but you can see the tracks on the list provided by the reviewer before me. Note the conspicuous absence of:

The Cult, "She Sells Sanctuary"
Loverboy, "Everybody's Working for the Weekend"
Quiet Riot, "Cum on, Feel the Noize"

In my opinion they should've put those three songs in and dispensed with Lovefist's song since it's not authentic eighties music, anyway, as well as Slayer's and Autograph's, which aren't bad tunes but are, in my opinion, inferior to the three songs I named above.

So that's why I gave this album four stars instead of five. Except for that gripe, I have nothing but praise for this CD. Ozzy's "Bark at the Moon" is probably my favorite song, with Judas Priest's "You've Got Another Thing Coming" and Iron Maiden's "2 Minutes to Midnight" in close second.

Lazlow, even before he had his own chat show, was one cool d00d. "I flunked school cuz I'm hardcore," he says, as he plays his tunes and argues with the occasional caller. I don't know exactly which parts of his performance make it onto the CD, but it's all funny stuff, you can't lose.

The two parody commercials included are pretty amusing, too. 'Exploder' is a movie that satirizes action films, and Thor, well, he's everyone favorite Norse god, and he's come down from Valhalla to give advice to the people of earth. He actually makes a guest appearance on the game's chat station, it's too bad they didn't make a CD for that.

So. Yeah. Awesome tunes, a cool DJ, and a couple funny spoof commercials. I'll take this CD over the real radio any day. Rock on!

Ozzy Osbourne, Anthrax, Mötley Crüe, Iron Maiden; VROCK is a great heavy metal radio station in Vice City. It also has hilarious radio commercials, and the DJ is cool. Way better than normal radio.
