5.0 out of 5 stars The BEST Ever!, May 17, 2000

By	Kyle (Canada) - See all my reviews

Hi I am the biggest fan of the Vengaboys, when i first baught the Vengaboys first cd, the party album, i thought i had found the best cd ever made. But little did i know i was wrong, when they came out with Platinum album i found out this was the best album! It is one of those cds where you can put in and put it on repeat and listen to it forever. Who cares if there is only 10 songs, to all those people who said that, at least they have a cd with have sold over 2 million copies. So in short i recommend this cd to anyone whos likes good music.

2.0 out of 5 stars Bottom line..get KISS SINGLE(S) and ALICE DEEJAY., August 24, 2000

By A Customer

YEAH..uh..well...what can I say! The album is okay. KISS is the typical college bar dance tune(imagine some loud cantina with lots of booze.) Much like BOOM BOOM BOOM on the last album. Cheekah Bow Bow sounds too much like "We Like to Party" on the last album, the computer guy voice is cool and different. EXCELLENT! 48 Hours the SAME EXACT SONG on Alice Deejay's album called "EVERYTHING BEGINS WITH AN E". NO CREATIVITY. PLAY the tracks from the albums and you will know what I am talking about! I started dyin' laughin'! I was like "OH UH UH..no they DIDN"T!" Same EXACT bass lines notes but the melody is different and more upbeat here. (The DJ's who produced both albums are behind this ordeal.) OPUS 3 IN D# plays with your senses and is an EXCELLENT DANCE MIX. It sounds a bit like "WHO NEEDS GUITARS ANYWAYS"(again Alice Deejay) It is surreal and earthly. Track 2 is like some "AQUA" song with lyrics about driving somewhere unimportant and doing something stupid! This is definately a album filler! But wouldn't dance to it! HAHAHAHA and Oh and tracks 7 & 9 sound like music tracks for some 80's teen love flicks (i.e. Sixteen Candles/Pretty In Pink.) Too corny! They try to get serious. How can you with a group called Vengaboys?....PUHLEEZE! The bottom line is this get..the singles "KISS"(there are two singles) and ALICE DEEJAY album and you have VENGABOYS for the year. With the KISS single, you get the VIDEO on it. You won't miss a thing. Trust me.

1.0 out of 5 stars The worst CD I've ever wasted my money on!, May 20, 2000

By A Customer

Vengaboys? Hmmm, once they were known as a dance act but Vengaboys have tried to change their image so badly that it now seems a bit of a joke as dance music. I used to like them, I liked "The Party Album" and all their singles until the horrid "Shala Lala" was released. After that, I should have just given up any hope for the Vengaboys, but stupidly I went and bought this terrible album and now sits permanently on my shelf never played. Ever! "Kiss" is a nice song, but the single for it's available and all the other songs are just ABSOLUTELY AWFUL. They're not catchy, they're slow, they're extremely irritating and impossible to dance to. A pity, because Vengaboys originally produced tracks like "Up & Down" which were very good and this is totally different. Don't buy this CD, it just isn't worth it!
