1.0 out of 5 stars Are you serious?, January 28, 2009

By	John Smith "John Smith" - See all my reviews

It's shocking to me how anyone could actually have listened to this album and 'liked' it. I mean, I kinda 'liked' it in the same way you look at a car crash when you drive by, morbid curiosity. But the fact that 2 individuals really liked this album blows my mind! This album is THE WORST album in recording history. I'm surprised the equipment didn't melt when the guy pressed the record button. And there were people that actually 'worked' on this...amazing. My buddy bought this for me as a joke for Christmas, and I'm hoping he didn't shell out $14.99 of his money he earned working at a real job. Shame on anyone who likes this, admits it, and posts it on Amazon. I'm talking to you comments #1 and #2. Now excuse me while I go wash my ears out with diesel and razor blades.

4.0 out of 5 stars The haters are everyone, ignore them!, June 6, 2009

Here's the deal, this is NOT Ice's best album, but it has some good tracks and it's worth hearing if you liked Vanilla Ice in the past. I'm a huge Ice fan and I am happily admitting this (in addition to saying this album isn't his best, I'm being fair). Personally, I think Hard to Swallow was his best work.

But let me make sure everyone understands what these negative reviews are about. They're really not about this album, they're about the fact that it's "cool" to bash on Vanilla Ice. I guarantee you none of them have even listened to the album. They MIGHT have listened to the sample tracks here on amazon. But that didn't matter because they were going to write a negative review no matter what.

Look, who cares what a bunch of childish idiots have to say? If you're looking at this page because you like Ice, or used to. Give the album a shot. Maybe you'll like it, maybe you won't. But don't let someone else decide for you. Especially a guy who hates Vanilla Ice and got all his friends to come on here and bash Ice with him.

Buffalo Soldier and Jump are pretty sweet remakes. Ice Ice baby is a classic and has a few flavors on this album, they're all good. Insane in the brain deserves some credit too. All-in-all, not a horrible album, but not his greatest. Still worth a listen. Check out some of his past albums too, you won't regret it!

1.0 out of 5 stars Worse than you'd expect, and that's saying something, April 6, 2009

By	Allen Richards - See all my reviews

I checked this album out when I heard about it, thinking it would be "so bad that it's funny". It was worse. This far exceeded my expectations of how bad an album could be. The production values are terrible. These "beats" sound like they came from a 50 dollar keyboard. And unlike most covers, he didn't even attempt to add any uniqueness to any of the songs. Even his signature song, "Ice Ice Baby" sounds the same, he just sounds older. This is probably the most amateur-sounding CD I've ever listened to. I wouldn't even buy this for someone as a joke.
