1.0 out of 5 stars Unredeemed junk, March 15, 2002

This review is from: The Simpsons: The Yellow Album (Audio CD)

I'm as big a Simpsons fan as anyone, but this is hideous.
There are four Simpons-derived albums on the market.
Two are comprised of excerpts from the TV show. Those are
both terrific 4-5 star albums. There is another album of
all original (not from the TV show) material, The Simpsons Sing
The Blues. That album was weak and a major disappointment, but
it did feature a few (and only a few) amusing moments.

This? The best moments on this CD are the bands of silence
that separate the tracks. How anyone thought this was worth
recording is beyond me. Why anyone spent money to release
and promote it is WAY beyond me. It isn't funny and the music
[stinks].

Even if you are a completist, you don't need this. Trust me:
I am a completist. I bought it and wish I hadn't. There is
NOTHING on this album that merits your time or money.

1.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing at best..., June 21, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The Simpsons: The Yellow Album (Audio CD)

As with many of these reviewers, I am a Simpsons fan... Some even call me obsessed, what with my collection of episodes on tape and all... Unfortunately, when I picked up the ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE CD, I was excited... Little did I know what PAIN I was in for... there are maybe two good songs on the CD... PLEASE DO NOT BUY THIS EVEN IF YOU ARE A HUGE FAN OF THE SHOW!!!

So if you are expecting something like "The Simpsons Sing the Blues", you are getting that, but not at the same time.

This album is the same idea as sing the blues, has that awesome album cover, but musically is pretty weak. The vocals and lyrics are not bad, but the background music is really like bad eighties pop.

If you are a hardcore fan of The Simpsons, I recommend it, but only under that condition.
