5.0 out of 5 stars Hidden treat, July 14, 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: Anchorman (Audio CD)
I bought this hoping for an extra joke or two on the soundtrack but then it turns out its a whole comedy album with all new material not in the movie. And its vintage Ferrell, hilarious and bizarre. I can't believe they're not advertising this more.

3.0 out of 5 stars Even Farrell's fans will get tired of this after a few plays, July 15, 2004
By Lawrance M. Bernabo (The Zenith City, Duluth, Minnesota) - See all my reviews
(TOP 10 REVIEWER)    (VINE VOICE)    (COMMUNITY FORUM 04)   
This review is from: Anchorman (Audio CD)
Will Farrell does more than look pretty on the cover of the soundtrack album for "Anchorman," his summer of 2004 comedy, providing introductions as Ron Burgundy to a dozen songs from the time period of the film (as well as deigning to sing one himself). On the one hand the idea that unlike, say, the soundtrack for "Good Morning, Vietnam," the comic bits from the star of the movie are new material and not sound clips from the film. Sometimes the introductions even have to do something with the songs being played, but that is not always the case. On the other hand after you have heard about sitting on the rib eye in the bathtub a couple of times you have milked all the laughs to be had. Tack on to this the fact that you cannot skip the introductions to these songs it may well get annoying down the road, especially when Ron starts crying in the middle of one of the tracks (on the off chance that you really wanted to hear Henry Gross' "Shannon" without comment or loud weeping).

If this was a radio gig or some sort of VH-1 special then this would be pretty good, but as a soundtrack album it is going to be a hit and miss proposition for listeners. Fans of Farrell's humor will enjoy being able to get a bit more of Ron Burgundy, even though he seems to be every where these days (did you catch his tryout for ESPN's "Sportscenter"?), but those who are interested in the music here assembled may well be irritated by the introductions. The songs are decent, with one-hit wonders Blues Image's "Ride Captain Ride" and Jonathan Edward's "Sunshine," and big hits like Kansas' "Carry on Wayward Son," the Friends of Distinction's "Grazing in the Grass," and Neil Diamond's "Cherry Cherry." Plus, any album that brings together Bill Withers and Tom Jones is pushing the envelope. Still, you should have most of these, not to mention the Survivor cut that is not here.

The "Anchorman" soundtrack is an album that is not so much a keeper as something ideally suited for being passed amongst friends who have seen the movie. I just have a hard time with the idea that even die-hard Will Farrell fans are going to be giving this constant play. So what you can do is buy it, listen to it a couple of times, and then charge your friends a buck or two to listen to it so they can check it out. Just do not tell Ron Burgundy, because you know he is going to want his cut.

5.0 out of 5 stars best soundtrack ever, June 29, 2004
This review is from: Anchorman (Audio CD)
great soundtrack. will ferrell's hilarious, and the music is great. it can be a great stand alone comedy album as well as a superb 70's compilation. props to the sdtk supervisor and the exec producers. julia mannes is definitely a name to look out for in the future, watch out world.
