Customer Reviews
Music that fits the Housewives
This CD combos old covers with new artist (Band of Gold, Mrs Robinson, Harper Valley PTA) with new pieces by Joss Stone, Sara Evens, Idina Menzel (from the cast of Wicked-SEE THE REVIEW)..and piece of dialog for the Housewives cast first season for a great sound track
I love the cuts of SHeDAISY's God Bless the American Housewife and Shania Twain's Shoes. They move this soundtrack along
The one cut that dont work is Danny Elfman's Easter Egg cute (that is a cut supposely after the CD is over of his singing versionof the Desparate Housewives theme, BYPASS THIS CUT!
Catch the Housewives spirit, Get the CD!!

Album is misdescribed, really disappointing
When you see this album, you may think it includes all the nice DH score by Jablonsky. However, you would be wrong.
Instead, it contains a random selection of pop tracks, and the theme tune to the programme. I have no idea if these pop tracks were featured in some trivial way in the programme (don't personally remember them), but no matter: it's no different to the standard dross you can buy anywhere.
I don't understand what compelled the creators of this soundtrack to produce yet another generic dance album, instead of putting Jablonsky's score (which is world-renown) on there. If such a soundtrack were released I'd gladly give it 5*.
As for this though...
I have absolutely no idea what went through the minds of the majority of the reviewers here who gave it 5 and 4 stars. Perhaps they just like the music. If you like pop tracks, sure, why not, good as any album, but it's not the "Original TV Soundtrack" as described.
Nice, Cute CD
I'm not a fan of the show, having never seen this, but when I saw the artists who sing on the album I felt compelled to buy it. What resulted was a fun, upbeat, girl-centered album, almost all (if not entirely) female singers. The music is fun, and the random quotes from the show add an interesting aspect. I've never seen it, but previewing the show like this is easy and effortless. The only problem would be that I can't just listen to it randomly because the quotes are in the way, especially when I just want to hear music. But all in all, it's a fun album and worth checking out!
