This review is from: Now That's What I Call Music! 3 (Audio CD)
Being a huge fan of this series, I was excited to hear about a new collection.I immediately ran to the store to grab a copy,but upon picking it up I noticed right away there was only 10 songs!I'm sure we all remember 18 on the last.This is a very dissapointing collection.Half are great,three are ok, and there is two that are horrible.Save your money kiddies and find it used! Lets just hope Volume 4 will be better because lets face it,It can't be worse.

3rd Time Not Such a Charm, December 7, 1999
This review is from: Now That's What I Call Music! 3 (Audio CD)
Well, we all loved the first two "Now"'s. They had a large number of tracks, as well as great selections, and a good variation of genres. Unfortunately, "Now 3" does not follow in the footsteps of its predecessors. With a limited selection of ten tracks, it gives you no more than 35 minutes of listening. Also, unlike the first two "Now" releases, "Now 3" offers no variation in genre. Genre listing- R&B- 5 / Rock- 3 / Pop- 1 / House- 1 / And the biggest mistake- Rap/Hip Hop- 0. Do they have any idea how many people won't buy this record because hip hop is not represented even once? The people who selected the tracks for "Now 3" must be the same people that run the three major networks. So this Christmas, don't bother buying "Now 3." Stick to the originals.

Now That's What I Call Worthwhile, February 23, 2001
This review is from: Now That's What I Call Music! 3 (Audio CD)
Now 3 is a good CD with lots of worthwile songs.
All Star - Smash Mouth B+ The song has a good tune and ok lyrics.
American Woman - Lenny Kravitz B+ Fun song. Great tune pretty good lyrics. At the end the lyrics get fuzzy.
What's My Age Again? - Blink 182 A- Great tune and good lyrics. The song is 2 minutes and 28 seconds long.
Bailamos - Enrique Iglesias C Good tune but not good lyrics. Too many Spanish words.
Sometimes - Britney Spears B- The lyrics aren't that great. Good tune.
All I Have To Give - Backstreet Boys B Good Lyrics but Not so good tune.
Tell Me It's Real - K-Ci & Jojo C- Worse lyrics than Sometimes and not a good tune.
The Rockerfeller Shank - Fatboy Slim C+ Right about now the funk so brother, check it out now the funk so brother. And that's it. Fuzzy lyrics but great tune.
Nookie - Limp Bizkit A+ Great song! Great Lyrics! Best Song in CD! Great tune! LOVE IT!
Special - Garbage B Ok lyrics and a good tune.
If I Could Turn Back The Hands Of Time - R. Kelly C+ Good lyrics but bad tune.
Get Gone - Ideal B- Good lyrics but not so good tune. Who is Ideal?
Chante's Got A Man - Chante Moore F Terrible Lyrics and the tune is that better.
Hey Leonardo (she likes me for me) - Blessid Union Of Souls A Second best song in the CD (next to Nookie)! Great lyrics Great tune.
Why I'm Here - Oleander D+ Boring song. Not so great tune or lyrics. Who is Oleander?
Happily Ever After - Case C- Another boring song. Not so great tune. Lyrics are ok.
The Hardest Thing - 98* B- OK tune and lyrics. Kind of boring.
Out Of My Head - Fastball A- Short like What's My Age Again. Great lyrics and good tune.
Buy this CD for Nookie, Hey Leonardo (she likes me for me), Out Of My Head, What's My Age Again, All Star, and American Woman. You will like this CD. Also Buy Now 1 and 5.
