WWE Originals - Various Artists

Advantages: good range of music styles
Disadvantages: they're not all great singers

...perform his track for the WWE Originals CD. Ultimately we don’t get to hear his song but the purpose of these sections is to break up the CD and bring a bit of humour to the album. The first song on the album is by the Dudley Boyz. This is mainly a rock tune but later on in the track D’von raps to a slower paced section of the song. Bubba isn’t the best singer but his voice fits well with the rocky chorus. The song is about their wrestling career ...
...the catchphrases he used in WWE when he was a fan favourite on RAW. As Booker T has a strong and distinctive voice when he tries to rap it doesn’t sound as good as when other people are rapping like D’von Dudley or John Cena. It is still a good song though and could be described as a bit of a head bopper tune. The song does tell the story of Booker’s upbringing though and the trouble he was in when he was young and this makes it a tune that has to ... Read review

Advantages: absolutely nothing
Disadvantages: awful singing, awful songs

...not simply dismissing it. Previous WWE entrance theme CD's, of which I have all bought, have been absolutely fantastic with high qualitys of music produced to a slick, effective standard. For me the greatest WWE CD was the WWE Anthology effort which was released in 2001 and covered the entire history of WWE entrance themes on a 3-CD set. This effort however, is a complete change from all previous efforts. 'Originals' is the WWE superstars themselves ...
...If you are a die-hard WWE fan (as I formerly was) then you will probably get this no matter what I say, but you honestly do need your ears tested if you rate this highly. The signing is appaling and murderous, the lyrics sound as if a 10yr old wrote them, and the production is pretty awful too. I used to have faith in the WWE for producing great CD's, but this idea has just become lost on me and my estimation about what might come next is very low. ... Read review

Advantages: Great for fans wanting to hear Superstars in a different role
Disadvantages: Taken far too seriously by outside critics

...produced with the intent of WWE fans having the opportunity to hear their icons in a different role. Anybody who listens to the CD through and through will realise there isn't much musical talent on offer, after all these people are wrestlers not singers. There are exceptions though. Booker T has a brilliant number which over the past few weeks has become his entrance music on Monday Night RAW. Chris Jericho's song came as a big suprise, the man ...
...considered officially launching his track into the charts. Stacey Keibler's song comes as a welcome change to the album's pace, she might not have the world's greatest singing voice but it's definatly one of my top-picks from the album. Lita's song came as a disapointment, as a personal fan of the lucha libra female wrestler I expected a little more. Her song starts out with a heavy punk style, yet turns itself into a pointless pop song. Eddie & ... Read review

Advantages: None
Disadvantages: None

...used to purchasing the normal WWE entrance music CDs but as these hits are performed by selected WWE Superstars and that most of them are not their ring entrance music I though I would give it ago as I thought it would make a nice refreshing change. Some of the wrestlers on the CD seem as if they shouldn't give up their day/evening or weekend job but I totally give them credit for trying. However, you get Superstars like John Cena and Lita who despite ...
...recording their own individual tracks. If you are a wrestling fan then this is a must for you otherwise this may be of no interest to you. I hope WWE try their hand at producing original CD's like these in future along with their Superstar Entrance CD's as normal. ... Read review
