It took me quite a while to catch on to High School Musical. In fact, I ended up seeing High School Musical 3 before I saw the first two! Though I have now caught myself up and along with that I am becoming more familiar with the songs. In an attempt to fully connect with the music, I found myself borrowing the CDs from a friend. One of which was of course the High School Musical 2 CD soundtrack.
The album can be recognized by its aqua blue cover. On the front, 'High School Musical' is written in yellow writing, with a watery '2' aside it. Underneath the main cast can be seen leaping for joy. It is definitely an attractive CD and one that is sure to attract your attention in any store.
On the CD itself there are eleven songs, and the track listing can be found on the back of the CD too. The songs are taken from the musical, so for many fans they will know the lyrics by heart. However I had only seen the second film from the corner of my eye, so I had some learning to do! In case you are in the same position as me, I will not mention every song in detail - I do not want to spoil the surprise! Though I will mention a few that caught my attention.
1.You Are The Music In Me. 'You are the Music in Me' is track number four on the CD. It is sung by Gabriella and Troy, a slow paced mellow love song between the two leading roles. It is so gentle and warm, enough to melt anybody's hearts. It's not really that powerful - I prefer strong love ballads - but it is still nice and easy to listen to. 2. I Don't Dance 'I Don't Dance' is sung by Chad and Ryan. This one is a little more lively and more likely to have you up on your feet. The lyrics themselves are hard to follow, but it still has quite a strong beat to it and is well worth a listen.
3. Work This Out 'Work this Out', the third track on the album, is sung by the entire cast -as such. I find that these group songs are always more energetic and this one is no exception to the rule. It is a great song with a wonderful tempo and well worth listening to. Although it is not my favourite on the album, it is still quite catchy.
4.Humuhumunukunukuapua'a 'Humuhumunukunukuapua'a ' is the final track on the album. It was of course the bizarre title that first drew me to it, and I did end up listening to it before several others. Sung by Sharpay, it is a fun loving song that is both enjoyable and fun to listen to. It is not every day you can listen to somebody sing about wet fish...
This is definitely a wonderful album, and those four tracks are just a taste of the delights it has to offer. You can buy the album from stores such as HMV or Amazon.co.uk, and you should expect to pay around £5 to £8. It's not a bad price if you are a fan of High School Musical, but I will admit that it is not one I would rush out and buy myself. It is a good CD to listen to if you were given it as a gift or, in my case, if you borrow it from a friend. Though I feel you should only spend money on it if you know you are going to like it and you do like High School Musical! It is great to listen to, generally quite upbeat, and well worth giving it a go!

Quick review of High School Musical II - Various Artists
Film that's a modern day Grease!! Very upbeat and peppy. Troy and Gabriella are back and it's Summer Vacation. Them and the rest of the Wildcats have to work for the Summer so they can afford college. And where do they go, none other than Sharpay's country club.
Funny film with lots of twists and Sharpay is back as her evil, bitchy self, but true love wins out in the end and Sharpay is taught a very valuable lesson about friendship.
Would recommend to all who love a good love story. ...

Advantages: Some songs are good and have good lyrics and rhythmn and is quite cheap Disadvantages: Some of the songs are very cheesy and not so good with rhythmn and songwriting
...cheesy which is expected of High School Musical and the franchise. It was almost the best selling album of 2007 but was beaten by Daughtry by Daughtry. To conclude this album is not something you would buy for a party unless you are a High school Musical fan or quite young (under 16 years old). ...

Quick review of High School Musical II - Various Artists
In my opinion, this soundtrack is pretty amusing. I liked both of the movies along with their songs, so I enjoyed it. If you don't like disney movies and their songs, this movie is not for you. But I would say to buy this soundtrack because it's fun to sing along too. ...

Advantages: For anyone who loves Disney and High School Musical Disadvantages: Not for people who hate cheesy pop
The High School Musical 2 soundtrack is perfect for those who are a fan of Disney Films and especially fans of the High School Musical songs. The genre of the CD is definately verging on cheesy pop so, if your into music that isn't for the young and innocent minded then this isn't for you. However if you are into your pop music than i would suggest giving this CD a try or at least watch the movie as all the song a fully featured apart from Humuhumunukunukuapua'a ...

Album Notes
For this 2007 sequel to the massively successful Disney TV movie HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL, the youthful cast reunited for more teen drama and, of course, lots of emotive pop songs. Highlights of the HSM 2 album include the exuberant "What Time Is It," performed by the whole cast, and "You Are the Music in Me," a soulful duet between East High lovebirds Troy (Zac Efron) and Gabriella (Vanessa Hudgens).
