Take it from a long-time listener and huge fan of Jim Rome's: This CD is for neither those already acquainted with the show, nor for those curious sorts who are desirous of an introduction. An essential element of Rome's talent as a radio host is his incredible ability to improvise and never lose control of the direction of his show. He is always on top of a myriad of topics, sharp, and a very fast wit. His ability to deal spontaenously with any absurd or unexpected course the show may take is what drives the program and is a joy for the listener to be in the presence of. The CD provides none of this. Rather, it is a collage of now "famous" incidents from the Jungle's history, and is too tightly organized and scrupulously framed to ever resemble what actually occurs on the radio every day. Additionally the few tracks of bumper music included are a waste of space to my mind. If you don't know the show, listen to it firsthand. If you are a fan who wants to relive some great Jungle moments, do so in your own memory.

I guess it was only a matter of time until Romey-Rome broke out with a disk to relive some classic Jungle moments. Jim Rome, a four hour staple of people without jobs and losers who still live with their parents i.e. "clones" will enjoy this disk as I did. This disk resets some of the best takes and smack Rome has to offer (mostly sports related). With the exception of some unfortunate music this is an awesome disk. Those of you in Crapchester and C-town may enjoy Guns n' Roses while trolling around in your IROCs, but most everyone else got tired of them about 6 years ago. So clones, go out and roll a homeless or twenty to purchase this. Uhhhh.. out

Clones, get the growlers out of your ears _ and pie holes. Welcome to The Jungle is pretty fresh. Yes, some "dated" material: What do you expect? Updates on the Newtered One on a CD pressed weeks ago? The latest on Moehlered Quarterbacks (pro and college)? Massive errrrrrrrrrs from Columbus after losing to the OTHER Michigan? Overall, great takes (especially NASCAR). It is a fresh way to get a take during the off hours, especially for affiliates where Rome isn't repeated. Those light on the stars are probably just the monkeys who are reluctant to add the third or four hours. Or Ray Lopez in disguise. Or retread sportcasters with road kill nailed to their dome. Jim, a great CD, I look forward to the next one. Out.

This CD was not at all cool. What was it? A few funny parts (sports, cops) the rest was just noise! I've spent better money.

I love Jim Rome and I think that his show is brilliant. However, fitting all of that onto one CD is impossible. I gave this CD a 1 star because you can listen to his show for free and it is infinitely better. There is only one reason that I can give for Jim doing this...... THE MONEY!

Hey clones , Jim just gave you another reason to roll out ot the rack. Go and borrow $$ from your parents and buy the C.D.

Some very funny takes from the Jungle (espeically Neck-car and spelling bee). I liked having the full versions of songs you hear on the Jungle. But they went overboard with the digital mixing on too many of the tracks. Maybe next time we'll just get a CD of Jim's takes.

This could be the worst of Romey! Very few takes with a lot of scripted Rome. I love Van Smak and this CD almost made me stop listening to the Jungle. I would think Jim would know better than to release a big, greasy GROWLER like this. I AM OUT!!

jim is the bomb! he couldn't have been any funnier in this cd. the smack will knock you out of your seat. finally go AVALANCHE

I'm a huge Rome fan but this CD was so disappointing. If I want tunes, I'll go buy the band's album. Clones, if you're looking for the Jungle, all you will find here is Romeper Room. Too many random cookie-cutter crap tunes from people I don't care about. I know less of the Clones and more of Rome is a good thing, but more than a couple takes would have been nice. Save your money. I'm out.
