Now That's What I Call Music Vol.57 - Various Artists

Advantages: something for all
Disadvantages: none that i know of

Now that’s what I call music 57, omg I can remember when it was just, ‘Now that’s what I call music’ before the age of cd’s. I can’t believe they have made 57 of these, I feel so old and I think I’ve probably got the original cassette somewhere in a box collecting dust. So anyone in their 30’s will have been bought up on this generation of compilation albums. I must admit I don’t normally get the urge to buy albums, mainly because nothing has caught ...
...one. The songs, now there are a lot of these so you may want to skip this bit. So I’ll keep it brief just mentioning the artist, title and a little description/opinion. Compact disc one: 1. Britney Spears – Toxic – Happy pop, the one where she’s on a plane, most men know this one. He he. 2. Kelis – Milkshake – I like this one, good one to dance or sing to, while being slightly raunchy. 3. jamelia – Thank You – soulful/R&B, ideal for the independent ... Read review

Advantages: Best tracklist for a while, great mix from all genres
Disadvantages: A few bad tracks but everyone has different tastes!

I’ve been collecting the Now series for years, it’s always good to have music to look back on and remind you of things that happened around the time. The Now series has been the biggest compilation for twenty years and still makes number one and sells loads even after almost sixty volumes. Three volumes are released each year. Now 57 was released in spring 2004 and was no exception to the sales success set by its predecessors. Personally I’d place ...

Advantages: Mixture of songs - there must be at least one song that you like!
Disadvantages: A couple of bad tracks

...was a bit surprised. But now some of the songs on the CD's have been overplayed, and do get on your nerves now, well at least they do with me. I am 100% positive that there is at least one song on the CD that you will like. But I am also 100% postive that there is a few that you won't like. So for me, its not the best 'Now' CD but it definatley has the best range of genres. The 'Now 57' CD looks amazing, it stands out really well with its vibrant ...

Advantages: varied types of music
Disadvantages: some of the songs have already been overplayed

Being into cheesy music i loved this c.d. I think that there's possibly at least a few tracks on this c.d to tickle anyones tastebuds, seeing as though it's so varied. From Britney Spears to Franz Ferdinand, NERD to Ronan Keating, pop this c.d on as your getting ready to go out and it'll put you in the party spirit. If your not into chart music i would advise you to give this compilation album a miss, it's probably not your type of thing, even ... Read review
