Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com
The movie is about holes--specifically, a bunch of kids forced to dig them. Something else worth digging is the film's soundtrack. Few of the 15 ultra-accessible songs miss their mark. Big-name artists Shaggy, Moby, and the Eels keep the kids hopping, while a heap of lesser-known acts also make impressive contributions, most notably Pepe Deluxe (the from-Mars-sounding "Everybody Pass Me By") and the D-tent Boys (the irresistibly fun "Dig It"). It wouldn't be a Disney soundtrack without a wannabe or two, and for that we have a sprinkling of flimsy rock and country-folk. Still, title aside, here's a soundtrack stitched tight enough to avoid gaps in the fan base. --Tammy La Gorce

5.0 out of 5 stars Haven't quite bought the Soundtrack yet., April 18, 2003

A Kid's Review

..But I am planning too. Although, from what I've heard in the movie (almost all of the soundtrack), it sounds really good. With a twistful delight of rap to set the new-age theme, along with some good fashioned alternative rock, and some country music to set the settings of the movie. As I see here, Amazon does not have the song list, so for those wondering, this is the song list provided from Disney.com (Holes.com)--

1. D Tent Boys - "Dig It"
2. Shaggy - "Keepin' It Real"
3. Eels - "Mighty Fine Blues"
4. Moby - "Honey"
5. Teresa James & The Rhythm Tramps - "I'm Gonna Be A Wheel Someday"
6. Keb' Mo - "Just Like You"
7. Pepe Deluxe - "Everybody Pass Me By"
8. Stephanie Bentley - "I Will Survive"
9. North Mississippi All-Stars - "Shake 'Em Down"
10. Eagle-Eye Cherry - "Don't Give Up"
11. Chicago Catz (Richard Davis) - "Happy Dayz"
12. Dr.John - "Let's Make A Better World"
13. Fiction Plane - "If Only"
14. Eels - "Eyes Down"
15. Little Axe - "Down In The Valley"

For once, Disney put together a really good soundtrack with a variety of music tastes, and big-name artists, and, the lesser-known ones.

5.0 out of 5 stars Our first soundtrack ever and we love it., March 3, 2004

By	A. Loebs "jannel43" (Twin Falls, Idaho United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I bought this to entertain my two kids (under age 10), but I find myself putting it on when we're racing to get ready for school or when I'm faced with making dinner AGAIN or when I want to get the kids moving on the weekend. It's lively and fun! I'm not at all sure I would buy the individual artists' music, but the compilation of these songs is really outstanding.

A Kid's Review

This was an awesome CD! My favorite was d-tent boys... but you may like others better. If you like all kinds of music this will be one of your favorite CDs ever. You should buy it.
