The Baha Men's mix of pop-drenched R&B, rap, and Bahamian junkanoo finally lifted the veteran band from obscurity with the inescapable single "Who Let the Dogs Out." Their follow-up attempts to continue the success of their good-natured music. The title single is a dance tune suitable for everyone from toddlers to mainstream clubbers; "Giddyup" could make a suitable sequel to "Dogs," while a rewrite of Harry Nilsson's "Coconut"--"Put the lime in the coconut"--manages to out-nonsense the original. The disc's other songs often proffer a lightly philosophical stance that's hardly profound but helps make the album very likable. "Normal" pushes a healthy live-and-let-live attitude. In turn, "Rich in Love" deals with a misguided gold digger who'd rather have a Bill Gates (!) than a Baha Man. Finally, the modernized doo-wop of "I Thank Heaven" is surprisingly sweet and doesn't spoil the party. --Rickey Wright

A lot of people say the Baha Men are one hit wonders, I like to call those people technically right.

I bought this cd hoping I would finally get an answer to the question, Who let the dogs out? I mean honestly I just wanted closure on the whole thing. Instead I was treated to 13 tracks that almost all somehow managed to work the word 'Shake' into them!

Sadly I was arrested because of this cd, I was at a dance and asked the DJ (slang term for Disc Jockey) to put on my favourite Baha Men song (I know how can I just pick one... so many to choose from!!) I got him to put on 'Move it Like This'. I was excited because I had come up with my own dance routine for the song that was really hot and fit the lyrics perfectly, sadly when it got to the line that said "We gonna get up on the dance floor and do the PeeWee Herman" I was thrown out of the blue light disco for touching myself in an innapropriate matter, whatever that means?

Anyway the cd is great especially for people who like to Shake it OR Shake it up!

Okay, maybe "sell out" isn't the proper term for a group that's never going to get its due no matter what. But that's exactly what Move It Like This sounds like, a much more straight-up, mainstream friendly offering than their career-making (and -breaking at the same time, ironically enough) Who Let The Dogs Out.

Lessee...Put The Lime In The Coconut is an interesting take on the old Harry Nilsson cornball classic. Best Years of our Lives has that lively island beat that drew me to them in the first place. Move It Like This is a seamless "medley vocals" number. The rest...unremakable pop.

It's good, don't get me wrong, but still a step down from Who Let The Dogs Out. (And if you listen to both albums in their entirety, you'll know why. :-D)

I own everyone of the BahaMen CD, and this latest one is GREAT! The island rhythms of The Wave, Normal, Best Years of our Lives, and Break Away are terrific! A real "feel good" CD! Also the remix of Lime in the Coconut is unbelievable! Worth the price of the CD alone!
