i think that the new chipmunks is pretty decent. is it something i really want to listen to day in day out not at all but my three year old and the four little girls i watch love it. which lets face it the target audience has and always will be kids ranging from 3-9. i think its great for em if it makes them happy it makes me happy and after reading the other reviews i just have to wonder when did the fun go out of listening to the chipmunks? its not supposed to be taken seriously. its not the 60's anymore folks and for that fact its not the 80's either i love it i always have loved the chipmunks and i always will its good light hearted fun

I bought this CD as a stocking stuffer, but its played a lot! The music is easy to listen to, and i don't worry about wording or bad content. Even though this item was bought for my child, I find myself sing to it also.

I think it's really fun. I liked that they mixed up the styles. Sure it's heavily produced but that's in step with the music they're covering. Or parodying. If you like Weird Al (I do) this will probably appeal to you.

Not a big Chipmunks fan myself since being allowed to cross the street alone, but my daughter absolutely loves this album so that's worth 5 stars. She rocks it on her Tinker Bell music player all the time.

I grew up with Alvin and the Chipmunks and just last week I saw the most recent movie. Although I had to adjust to seeing "real" fur I was impressed with the quality that was evident in the characterizations and the music. I was fascinated by the soundtrack and it's production quality. Then I found that this album was out. I've been listening to it now for a week steady. These are great songs. Of course my brain places Alvin and the gang in the singing parts instead of actually taking the "vocalists" for face value (although you can tell they are great as well). The pop / synth vocal arrangement on undeniable is VERY well done in my opinion.

...Please don't tell my wife.

My son loves this cd! And even though those high little voices can be a bit much for us parents, it's tolerable because they are songs we know that are remixed very well.

This was a Xmas gift to my granddaughter who is 8.
She listens to it frequently and all of her gfriends listen to it too.

Santa brought this for our 5 year old. He loves it. I even catch myself singing along. I mean, a Bon Jovi song from the Chipmunks - Does it get any better than that?

I think that the album is lopsided at best... I love the art and the fact that Ross Bagdasarian Jr is back as Dave Saville but Dave comes across as a bit mean to the boys.. At one pont he blirts out "suck it up.." to the boys.. I really don't think Dave would have said anything to that in real life.. Dave was never that way in the cartoon..

Another problem I have is how Dee Town overextended the 1983 opening to the original show.. I thought it was a bit much as it was too long and the fact that Dee Town's backup was overpowering the boys at one point or another.

It would be a better CD if the Chipmunks didn't come across as Greedy in HO HO HO either.. I pods, cash.. I feel mortified at the notion that is all kids really want.. Christmas is about FAMILY and Getting together..

I can't raite it too high as of these quetionable things on the disc. I am a fan but some of the songs do not seem right for the Chipmunks...

It is so hard to believe that this past year has honestly been the hardest year for any record to really deliver heart and soul. Sadly though, most of the records that have caem out have actually been more like they've went to the garbage. But, that also can be said with cover albums, even from Alvin & The Chipmunks. With the surprise success of the Alvin & The Chipmunks movie that clicked with new younger fans, but not the original hard core fans, there was the need to see The Chipmunks to get the opportunity to cash in on the trumping success back to the music lovers, and that was also said with a new Alvin & The Chipmunks covers album.

Alvin & The Chipmunks, Undeniable, is the latest album that seems to appeal more to the kids, but doesn't actually bring in the distinctive feeling the way The Chipmunks used to, years ago. The album gears itself towards kids, and hopeful new fans who've loved last years' movie. The collection does include a few new cover from Alvin, Simon & Theodore, including a cover of Bon Jovi's Livin' On A Prayer, the classic Journey standard Don't Stop Believin', Blink 182's All The Small Things(which was featured during the dissapointing Chipmunks video game), and a lackluster feeling of drive from Alvin on a cover of Daughtry's hit Home. There are some things here to appease to classic fans, including the original Alvin & The Chipmunks theme song from the classic 1980's NBC cartoon series, and a spooky cover of The Rocky Horror Picture Shows' Time Warp, which would've given a better spirit if it was released earlier for Halloween.

All in all, while Alvin & The Chipmunks Undeniable is not a must buy on for your music library, it give a perspective to find a different cover album, that should try to compete with the successful Kids Bop series'. I really am not the Alvin & The Chipmunks fan that I used to be, and I wish that there could've been a better opportunity to say meet the chipmunks.
