This wonderful album contains thirteen songs by Riders In The Sky, the same great band you heard on the Toy Story II tape & DVD. With the exception of the first song, all of these songs are new, and are based on the Pixar hit movie, Monsters, Inc. My kids (10 and 12) both love this CD, especially Monster ABCs. For some reason, I had assumed that they would consider this album too babyish for them, but such is not the case. They love this album, and so do I! We highly recommend this album to you and your family.

Oh, by the way, the liner notes contain the words to all of the songs, plus a few nice pictures from Monsters, Inc. My kids love this sort of "extra."

SCREAM FACTORY FAVORITES is a compilation of songs sung by Riders in the Sky about the characters from MONSTERS, INC. Most of the songs dive a little further into the characters from the movie, while a few just play on some of the characters' familiar characteristics. Most of the songs have a 50s do-wop feel, and not much country twang. There are 13 songs on the cd and the running time is about thirty-five minutes. I've played some of the songs on the web-radio show I host and will probably continue to do so in the future. My favorite songs on the album include:

"I Only Have Eye For You"

"Monsters, Inc. March"

"Paperwork" (Roz's Song)

"The Perfect Roar" (Sulley's Song)

This is a cd that most kids will enjoy and makes a nice gift for any fan of MONSTERS, INC.

My three children love this CD. Their mother loves this CD. My children scream when this CD is not playing. Maybe you <shouldn't> buy this. Hmmmmmm.

Wonderfully and wittingly written to accompany the great Monsters, Inc. movie, this song collection is a must have! If the little ones don't dance and sing to this one, something's wrong!

I bought this based on the reviews I read applauding the humor of the lyrics and the pop quality of the songs. I love this album and I love the low price. And most importantly, my son dances to the album when I play it for him. I recommend it if you are looking for family friendly music that has a fun quality and clever lyrics.

Following the formula of their previous CD for PIXAR (Woody's Roundup), the Riders in the Sky have created music that extends the story and characters of Monsters, Inc. beyond the film. Staying true to the film though, the music mostly stays away from country and tries for a more 50's doo-wop feeling. Their harmonies work just as good in this style as country and it's good to hear them trying new things. But don't think this is a radical departure because it isn't. We're talking shading here.

If you enjoyed the film (and who didn't) then you're sure to be won over by this CD. Kids and adults alike will enjoy the catchy tunes and clever lyrics ("I love to take you dancing and sweep you off your tentacles") which are included in the booklet so you can learn them and sing along. My only complaints are the annoying song LULLABY FOR BOO (the only song not sung by Riders) and the too short running time of 33 minutes.

The songs are wonderful and the Riders in the Sky are on top of their game! They are fun to listen to and you will not stop your toes from "a tappin"! Enjoy this great CD. You just might be calling yourself a closet cowboy! Come out of the closet and listen to this wonderful CD!

The Riders in the Sky are fantastic here as they are on the Woody's Roundup CD but they have an old time western sound to them, and this CD is music from MONSTERS, INC. It was a little confusing for my boys (ages 3 and 2) because they kept telling me they wanted to hear MONSTERS, not WOODY. Fun music, though.
