Editorial Reviews

Jive Records again draws heavily on its roster of teen-pop stars and wannabes for this Nickelodeon film's soundtrack album. The disc offers various tracks by 'N Sync, Britney Spears, and the Backstreet Boys, while 13-year-old Aaron Carter delivers more mock-boasts and party-boyisms on three cuts, including "Go Jimmy Jimmy." The cheerleading doesn't stop there, as vintage punk-pop from the Ramones ("Blitzkrieg Bop") and Go-Go's ("We Got the Beat") and a remake of Kim Wilde's early-'80s hit "Kids in America" by No Secrets help fill out the disc. (Yet another new wave-era classic, "[S]he Blinded Me with Science," is essayed by recent signing Melissa Lefton.) Despite those bright spots, the formula seems a bit tired this go-round; still, this is peppy stuff with much kid appeal. Even parents of a certain disposition will find that it doesn't drive them absolutely batty. --Rickey Wright

5.0 out of 5 stars A cool soundtrack from a cute movie., November 22, 2001

By	Rebecca (Massachusetts, USA) - See all my reviews

The soundtrack for the new upcoming film, JIMMY NEUTRON: BOY GENIUS, is actually really cool! Most of the music is great on this CD, especially the new songs from Aaron Carter. I was hoping that the Backstreet Boys and even N Sync would have new songs on this soundtrack, but the BSB song, "The Answer To Our Life" (which they wrote themselves and is a really awesome song!) can be found on their BLACK & BLUE album and N Sync's "Pop" (which I don't like very much because I am not a fan of N Sync) can be found on their CELEBRITY album. Okay, maybe not the remix which is on this soundtrack, but the original version, at least. I also like the new Britney Spears song, the Lil' Romeo song, and the No Secrets song. This is not some cheesy kiddy soundtrack. Okay, so it kinda is. But I happen to like this kind of music and I'm 18 years old! And the movie looks, well, um...interesting. I might go see it. After all, I did get a bunch of free movie passes for my 18th birthday a few days ago! If you are into Pop music and don't mind teenybopper Pop (which I happen to like although I can gaurantee you I am no teenybopper!), then this soundtrack is a must have. Also go see the movie - it looks pretty cute!

4.0 out of 5 stars Aaron Carter Weakness..., November 24, 2001

By	"nuey" (Reeds Spring, Missouri USA) - See all my reviews

Okay, the reason why I bought this soundtrack was because Aaron Carter was on it. When I listened to this soundtrack, I soon realized Aaron Carter wasn't the only one with good music on here. (By the way Amazon, your tracks are out of order--they need to go like this:)

'Leave It Up to Me' (Aaron Carter)-this song is more rappish than any other of his previous songs! I like it!

'Pop (Deep Dish Cha-Ching Remix)' (NSYNC)-why did NSYNC have to be on this soundtrack? Is there any CD that NSYNC is NOT on? Gosh people! Why do you like NSYNC so much? It's disgusting! This song is just a remix of something already annoying which makes it twice as annoying! UGH! Besides, look at part of the title 'Cha-Ching' as in money! Gosh! NSYNC is so cocky!

'Parents Just Don't Understand (Teddy Riley Remix)' (3LW, Lil' Romeo, Nick Cannon)-Lil' Romeo sounds good in this song but I hate the way he talks about his mother! Bad bad bad!

'Intimidated' (Britney Spears)-wow! Britney Spears is sounding good! What is the world coming to? Britney, all I got to say is good job!

'He Blinded Me With Science' (Melissa Lefton)-sounds kind of like 'Get the Party Started' by Pink! This song is cool!

'A.C.'s Alien Nation' (Aaron Carter)-you hear a sample of this on 'Oh Aaron'. This song is cool!

'Kids In America' (No Secrets)-somewhat good, somewhat bad. Somewhat good for No Secrets is a compliment coming from me--I hated the way they sounded on 'Oh Aaron'!

'The Answer to Our Life' (BSB)-my favorite group in the whole world (BSB) and my favorite male singer in the whole world (Aaron Carter) on the same CD? COOL! Couldn't get better! Anyway, you can hear this song on 'Black and Blue'. It's a really cool song! This song makes you have a different aspect at the way you look at life.

'The Chicken Dance' (Stupid)-nice, but somewhat annoying, beat

'I Can Count on You' (True Vibe)'-now there's what the True Vibe I know sounds like! You see, I saw True Vibe in concert and they sounded awesome but when I picked up their album, they stunk! It was dissapointing they sounded awesome live but bad on CD! This song is the only song that sounds like True Vibe live! Long live 'I Can Count on You'!

'We Got the Beat' (Go Go's)-we all have heard this song! I mean, the Go Go's are old! Even though they're old, this song is still cool to dance and sing-along to!

'Go Jimmy Jimmy' (Aaron Carter)-this is my favorite Aaron Carter song on this CD! It's SO DANCABLE!

'Parents Just Don't Understand (Bonus Mix)' 3LW, Nick Cannon, Lil Romeo-see track #3

'Blitzkrieg Bop' (The Ramones)-what is up with this song?! It's horrible!

'Jimmy Neutron Theme' (Bowling For Soup)-this is wicked cool! It's cool in a REALLY weird way!

'Bonus Track'-too weird/scary for words!

Anyway, if you like weird music, you'll like tracks #14, #15, #16. If you like oldies, you'll like track #11. If you like rap, you'll like tracks #3 and #13. If you like pop music, you'll mostly like the whole album!

3. Parents Just Don't Understand-9/10
4. Intimidated-5/10
5. He Blinded Me With Science-7.5/10

This CD is okay, but the tracks on the Wild Thornberrys soundtrack are much better than this. There are more better CDs, but this CD is still one to buy.

Grade: B+
What that means: Go ahead, you can buy it.
