2.0 out of 5 stars "Greatest" Hits?, December 23, 2007

By

This review is from: Wwe: Raw Greatest Hits the Music (Audio CD)

With fifteen years of Raw, a record-setting broadcast program, you might expect a decent amount of diversity. Not so in the case of WWE Raw's Greatest Hits, the newest WWE music CD.

In most cases, selection of a "Greatest Hits" package is fairly objective. What sold? What sold really well? Bands often compile their greatest commercial successes. With a compilation along these lines, it's not so cut and dry.

However, this CD's focus seems incredibly narrow, focusing on the "Attitude Era" and themes you could have all picked off one or two CDs, and current wrestlers. Often times, these groupings are one and the same. While several of the themes are appealing, they are not what I would call a spectacular compilation, or worth retail price.

It's unarguable that performers like The Rock and Stone Cold Steve Austin are the biggest commercial successes in the business, so it's easy to see why they're on here. Others were still quite popular, like Mick Foley (In all his multiple personality glory), Shawn Michaels, and Triple H. However, on a track list of this size, when we see redundancy, such as the themes for two members of Evolution plus the Evolution theme, it kind of limits the appeal of the overall track list. Further, included are themes which were almost never aired on Raw. with 15 years of broadcasting, there is no shortage of popular wrestling entrances available.

And as far as "Hits" go, the track listing is fairly questionable, opting for recent versions of themes instead of the ones that were actually the biggest. As with all wrestling theme CDs, 17 tracks looks a lot longer than it is. Don't expect a 60 minute disc off of these.

Several of these tracks are entertaining, and Ken Kennedy's theme is probably appealing to wrestling fans who want one of the better quality new themes on Raw, but this CD has poor value in terms of new content, and serves as a poor representation of "the hits." Add a star if you really want the Rock's theme or Steve Austin's, but the collection is average at best, and fairly mediocre to most.

1.0 out of 5 stars Greates Hits . . . Only for Newcomers, January 10, 2008

If your new to wwe and you like the themes it's a pretty ok mix of all current themes.
However, if your like me, a fan, and you own every single wwe cd out there, don't bother! Unless you really, really need Kennedy's and Melina's theme.
The main reason I'm disappointed is that I am missing one song. the one song that even I had bought this album for and that has (to my knowledge) not been on any other cd: Jeff Hardy's theme !!!
I'm not his biggest fan, but that they keep this song from being released is a mystery to me.
So like I said:
If you're new to WWE, you like the music, buy it!
If you own the other cds, don't!
And to WWE: Please have 2extreme on your next release!

5.0 out of 5 stars A great selection of songs...all on one CD!, December 18, 2007

I know some people think this CD is stupid because most of the songs have been released. True...but hey, its still a really good selection and it keeps me from having to switch CDs. The only thing that gets me is the fact that DX and Jericho`s themes aren`t the remix versions. And sure, there are still some themes missing[like Edge`s theme]...but I think some of that has to do with copyright issues and stuff. Still great though. I`m really happy to see Mr.Kennedy`s theme and Undertaker`s current theme on this album. Those two rock . One big reason why I wrote this review was to tell everyone...get this at walmart! It comes with two exclusive tracks...Randy Orton & Shane McMahon`s theme. Its funny, cause the first thing that came to my head was "where is Shane`s theme?". I found out right after I bought this CD that walmart had two exclusive tracks...so I had to go to walmart and buy it again. Hey,it was worth it lol. Overall I give this CD my highest rating[ten stars]. But like I said, get it at walmart for the two tracks...go home, pop it in the player, kick back and enjoy the greatest themes from Raw.
