Are... you... READY?!?!?!?, December 29, 2000
This review is from: Woodstock 99 (Audio CD)
Ahh... woodstock! Three days of love... well, for the most part. I've heard some pretty bad things about what went on at this concert. In my personal opinion, rape is the lowest form of activity that anyone could participate in and anyone who rapes another person deserves to BURN IN HELL. Now, having said that, I will now review the music. They (who? you may ask... THEM, DAMMIT! LOL) decided to release this as a 2 disc set... I think that's a pretty groovy idea because the musical styles on the two cd's are very different. On to the review... now I can't review EVERY track on each CD but I'll hit on (in my opinion) the high notes..
DISC ONE: THE RED DISC: Alrighttt..... ROCK N ROLL, BAYBEEE!! *throws up some metal* Talk about "The Hard and The Heavy". I was completely blown away by this disc! I actually hadn't heard of half the artists on this cd until I bought it... but I took a chance and boy am I glad I did! The red disc delivers over an hour of in your face rock and roll. Sure, these weren't the ABSOLUTE BEST songs sung at woodstock? lol But anyway, it all pretty much rocks and even though I hadn't heard of a lot of the musicians when I first got this cd, I sat there and listened to and enjoyed the whole thing. If you're a fan of heavier rock music, then the red disc is for you! But.... there is another... skywalker.. oops.. no, wait... there is another... disc. LOL
DISC TWO: THE BLUE DISC: Ahh the blue disc. What a break from all the hard stuff on the red disc! If you like the softer side of music, then this disc is the one for you! I actually bought the whole woodstock 99 album because a friend of mine brought the blue disc to school one day and I listened to it. I really liked it, even though I didn't know who a lot of the people on it were. It's just good music and I can respect that. There isn't a bad song on here.
STANDOUT CUTS: THE RED DISC
Korn-Blind, The Offspring-The Kids Aren't Alright, Kid Rock-Bawitdaba, RATM-Bulls On Parade (personal fave), Godsmack-stay away, Red Hot Chilli Peppers-Fire (Hendrix, baybeeee)
STANDOUT CUTS: THE BLUE DISC:
Dave Matthews Band-Tripping Billies, Everlast-Ends, Everclear-Santa Monica(Watch The World Die), The Roots-Adrenaline (My second fave from this disc), Elvis Costello-Alison (Personal fave)
OVERALL THOUGHTS: Great collection. At best, it's great and at worst, it's good. The mastering is clear on all tracks except the Korn song. Any fan of music should own this cd and try to forget about the bad stuff that happened at the concert.

Not Good, Not Bad, January 18, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Woodstock 99 (Audio CD)
Well, I bought this CD on an impulse, after just scanning and seeing that it had good bands... and well, it only has a few rocking songs. It would have been much better if there was more than one song per artist... Another koRn, Alanis, or Live song could have EASILY replaced the one-hit wonders like Godsmack, Kid rock, and Jamiroquai... who the hell is Jamiroquai anyways? and what was the deal with that stupid 'interlude'? Don't get me wrong, there's a lot of good songs like "I Alone" "everything Zen" and "Santa Monica", but somehow I feel cheated cuz I know that for a double-CD album of a GREAT concert I should listen to all 33 songs 24/7, not just 12 every now and then.

I liked this cd alot but there was some setbacks like on some tracks you can barely hear the singer , a good example of this would be Korn's "Blind" I heard about two lines. The song itself is good though. Other than that this cd is awesome.
