An absolute dork's review
Well I'm 24 years old and I'm reviewing a Chipmunk CD. Therefore, you can easily say a dork is reviewing this, and it's probably credible!

My dad grew up with the Chipmunks, I grew up with the Chipmunks, and now my son is. It's sort of a family tradition! Even my mother and my grandmother still love them! To quote them, "They rock!"

So, of course I picked up this latest addition to their catalog, which is also the soundtrack to their first live-action movie. The first song "Bad Day" started up, and already I liked it. I'd easily say it's one of the best songs on the CD. Other standout cuts include "Only You" and the rock version of "The Chipmunk Song". (You had to have known that "Chipmunk Song" and "Which Doctor" would be re-recorded yet again for this! But no biggie.)

The only song I seem to skip every time I listen to this is "Ain't No Party". I just think it's absolutely terrible. Then there are a few songs that aren't quite as good, but they aren't really bad either. (Such as "Get Munked").

It's nice to have the "classic" versions of "Which Doctor" and "Chipmunk Song" on here, particularly "Which Doctor". This version is from 1958, which was originally released under the name "David Seville". This is not the re-recording done for the second Chipmunks album, but in fact the original first version. This used to be somewhat of a hard recording to find (well, at least for me anyways) so it's very nice to have.

So, all in all, if you grew up with these guys like I did, then I don't think you will be too disappointed with this. Now I can't wait to go see the movie! My parents took me to go see "The Chipmunk Adventure", and now I get to go take my son to see this!

Cute!
We loved the movie, and my kids are really enjoying the soundtrack. My kids are 5 and 7, and both have the songs on their Mp3 players. I find myself smiling when listening to the music, since some are new versions of songs I'm already familiar with (funky town, bad day, etc). Very cute soundtrack!

As an Alvin and the Chipmunk fan of the 80's...
I thought the movie was great and part of what made it great was the music, as always with the chipmunks. I have to say I'm not a big fan of hip hop or rap, but I can't help but like most of the songs on this album. Maybe it's the adorable high pitched voices. I love the new rendition of Witch Doctor and The Christmas Song, but i also love that they added the original versions on the cd as well. There are a few songs that i skip over, but for the most part this was worth my money.
