Reasons to buy THE GREEN ALBUM:
- You grew up watching THE MUPPET SHOW and you have a bit of a nostalgic streak.
- You smiled and laughed throughout the preview to the forthcoming movie THE MUPPETS.
- You've always felt that Muppets instantly make everything more fun.
- You own anything with a Muppet on it.
- You are already a fan of any of the bands that make an appearance on THE GREEN ALBUM.
- You are open minded enough to listen to a few hipster/indie rock style interpretations of your childhood memories.
- You are traditional enough to appreciate that most of these songs are played relatively straight.
- You think you can forgive OK GO for possibly effing up the opening track by making it too weird.
- You like the idea of a compilation/tribute album of cover songs from a thirty-five year old puppet show being able to stand on its own as an album - only a few songs are chained to The Muppet Show here, the others could make it on their own in the world if they wanted to.
- You're still looking for "the rainbow connection" - the lovers, the dreamers, Kermit, and you...or maybe you've found it, in which case you might also be picking up a copy of the new Barbra Streisand album that was released today.

This is a fun little collection of cover songs, but ultimately there was only one song on the album that I felt was comparable in quality to the original. Weezer re-imagines Rainbow Connection as a duet, which ends up working pretty well. The rest of the songs just don't have the same magic or energy as the original Muppet versions. I don't know if that speaks poorly of the bands involved or if it's just a testament to the care that went into the movies. There were also a few songs that I really wish were included, most notably "Can You Picture That?" from The Muppet Movie.
The Green Album is definitely worth a listen, but not necessarily a full-price purchase.

I'm not going to do a music review, I'm just going to say that owning this album makes me happy. Listening to this album makes me happy. It's silly and wonderful and it makes me just...you guessed it... happy. If you're one of the many who grew up watching the Muppet Show, you will enjoy these new takes on old childhood classics.
