1 out of 5 stars Not for fans of the music in the movie ... .......2007-07-21

Sure, maybe some of the songs in this collection were tacked on in edited forms into the closing credits, but the majority of the music in the film is not here. Great tracks by Rachid Taha (off his Made in Medina album) figure prominently through out and aren't here. Jasmine Tabatabai not only contributes a memorable song to the film, but can be seen performing it live in an early club scene. Also not on the cd.

If you like the darker, richer, exotic music of the film, pick up albums by Taha and Tabatabai.

If you like mediocre compilations of absolutely horrifying covers of once great songs (I actually got physically ill hearing the versions of Venus in Furs and Killing Moon) then maybe pick this up.

The one or two decent tracks (ok, one) like Collide's just aren't worth the buy in.

The art of soundtracking and film scoring has reached an all time low here.

5 out of 5 stars This album is way better than the film..........2007-02-03

Since the first review focused on what they didn't know about the bands, I'll point out some of the acts:

Tre Lux is Tina Root of Switchblade Symphony, one of the biggest Dark Wave bands of the 90's.

Shiny Toy Guns are huge right now, just played Leno a month ago.

Collide are one of the bigger bands of the goth/electro scene.

Bow Wow Wow...even the other reviewer knew who they are.

Sparklemotion had a hit on itunes from the Napoleon Dynamite Sountrack.

New Skin are a new English band produced by one of the guys who produced Depeche Mode and the Cure.

but whatever - the point is the album is really good - there's only one song I wasn't crazy about and for a soundtrack, that's saying a lot.

I can't say the same for the film...but oh well.

2 out of 5 stars Yet Another 80's Mostly Lame New Wave Cover Song Collection by Mostly Unknowns.......2007-01-28

I get the impression that cover song collections are quite the rage in Hollywood Movie circles when dealing with 'troubled' movie productions. It's cheap in that all the artists cannot command any upfront cash for their appearance. It smacks of indy-cred to get these artists, mostly electro-goth types, together. Too bad most of the cover versions are only mildly interesting. I also suspect that the soundtrack CD will be of more interest in a years time than the movie will...Why the producers of the film decided to so radically transform the book into a forced-copy of 'Underworld' escapes me, I guess filming for so cheap in Eastern Europe was the main reason. Too bad, I really enjoyed the book. Buy the book instead of buying this CD or watching the movie.

Except for Bow Wow Wow (glad to see they are struggling along still, but this IS DEFINITELY NOT their best work), almost all of these bands are probably unknown to 99.99% of the listening public. I have heard of Collide before this, kinda synthy darkwave band, very enjoyable, please go buy their other work ;) Almost of these songs lack the excitement and punch of the originals, why bother then making effort? I guess if I must, the first three songs are pleasant enough to listen to and I kind of like the Collide number as well...The rest can be safely deleted if you decide to convert these tracks to MP3s and just keep the aforementioned four tracks.

Bow Wow opens his fifth CD, The Price of Fame with a solemn interview clip in which the rapper/actor discusses "the mental breakdown dealing with the price of fame," thus setting the stage for a deeply emotive release. For a handful of tracks, he does exactly that, showing fans--and his competition-- just how refreshing that can be. The disc's first single, "Shortie Like Mine," featuring fellow teen heartthrob Chris Brown finds Bow Wow spitting rapid-fire rhymes and embedding lyrical skills with his especially melodic rap style. "Tell Me" combines those same talents mixed with surprisingly candid subject matter: a plea to get his ex to come back to him. As he implores "I'm a whole different individual now/everybody but you invisible now" to compelling back beats and samples (thanks to co-Executive Producer Jermaine Dupri), it feels like the pair could create a new genre: emo/electro/hip-hop. Dupri's amped-up hooks drive the disc, staying consistent while Bow Wow's identity oscillates between a lover and a wanna-be gangsta. Other songs worth noting are the hidden track, an R. Kelly duet dubbed "I'm a Flirt" and the cheeky "Damn Thing" featuring Da Brat. On the downside, a number of tunes contain far too much thug posturing: "Bet That," "4 Corners" (featuring Lil' Wayne) and the 50 Cent-inflected "On Fiya" are filled with clichéd car/money/thug lyrics, causing Bow Wow's uniqueness to get lost in the flow. --Denise Sheppard

3 out of 5 stars I like it but the edit has to go!.......2007-06-16

The CD is overall really good but its edited!!! His last album "Wanted" isn't edited at all he says "N****" plenty of times but on this every bloody word that is "innapropriate" is gone... Even Da*n... CMON!! UR MATURE NOW BOW WOW time to make an Explicit CD!!!

5 out of 5 stars hip hop cd that little kids can enjoy 2.......2007-04-06

Some collaborations are a little slack but it sounds very well
Another brilliant album

1 out of 5 stars What a thief! "Outta My System" track is a stolen instrumental from French rapper Passi.......2007-03-20

What a damn thief Bow Wow is!
The song "Outta My System" is a stolen instrumental from French rapper Passi's track "79 a 97."
Don't believe me? Need proof?
Just listen to the track "79 a 97" on Passi's album titled "Les Tentations"....that's all you need to hear to find out the truth.
It's disgraceful and disgusting to see this Bow Wow guy having to steal and copy someone else's work just to make a quick buck.
I hope this review will begin to spread word about what a fraud this little punk is.
A disgrace!

3 out of 5 stars Bow Wow - The Price Of Fame.......2007-03-09

3 out of 5 stars WOW! Was "Mickey" a GREAT song, or what?!.......2004-10-26

Nope, in fact it was one of the songs that I hated the first time I heard it and can still gather up a load of revulsion for today. The oddball tune that drags this collection up to the .500 line is Pete Shelley's "Homo Sapien". Funny, catchy and just plain clever, but I worry about Pete. Other than that volume 5 barely trips the meter. Welcome to the middle of the new wave road.

4 out of 5 stars Nearly Quintessential...Nearly.......2002-05-24

My biggest complaint about this particular album is the inclusion of "Hold onto Something" by Great Buildings. Many of these songs define my days in high school, but for the life of me I can't remember ever hearing of this band. However, I do remember hearing this song...or one very much like it -- Joe Jackson's incredibly popular song titled, "I'm the Man," from his album, "I'm the Man" (1979), which was hugely popular through the early eighties.

Re-mixing this album with the correct song would help this album's rating a lot.

5 out of 5 stars Those Were The Days-- Great New Wave Collection!.......2001-08-18

The best entry in Rhino's awesome "New Wave Hits" series.(Volume 1 which covers the late 70's is also excellent).All 16 songs are culled from 1982 which was indeed a very good year for pop music. Haircut One Hundred's "Love Plus One" and Flock of Seagulls' "I Ran" were anthems of the(then) young MTV Generation. These quirky video darlings raged like a hurricane of fresh air in the face of bland corporate schlock which hogged the airwaves. Songs like the Go Go's "Vacation" and Tommy Tutone's "867-5309" were not only pure fun-- they were also well-crafted 3-minute pop gems. In fact, nearly every tune on volume 5 is cut from the same intelligent pop mold. Other standouts from this set include the vastly underrated Marshall Crenshaw's "Someday Someway", The Jam's "A Town Called Malice" and Soft Cell's absurdly humorous "Sex Dwarf". The only weak cuts are Gang of Four's "Man in Uniform" and the truly horrible "Art of Parties" by Japan. Overall, this is a fantastic collection which harkens back to a truly innovative time in pop music-- a brief time when catchy Hit Singles ruled and all possibilities seemed endless.

5 out of 5 stars Best In The Series.......2001-07-07

This is my favorite of the series. Actually there are only two cuts that I consider weak ("Kids in America" and "Mickey"). ALl the rest are great little slices of the variety and creativeness of 80's new wave rock. Good c.d. to have.

5 out of 5 stars Just Can't Get Enough vol. 5.......2000-07-10

I have 8 of the cd's in this series, and plan on getting the rest. This one is one of my favorite of the series. The song "Love Plus One" by Haircut One Hundred is a fabulous song. There are many other gems as well, such as "I Want Candy", "Someday, Someway" and "I Ran (So Far Away)". There are many obscure songs on here, so don't expect to know them all, unless you had an unbelievable vinyl collection in the 80's. The music hear can fit almost any mood you may be feeling. Pick it up and enjoy.

    5 out of 5 stars Endless repackaging of their songs...but the 12" versions here, cool.......2006-01-12

    We saw them in San Diego in 1984 I think. Totally danceable. That double bass drum sound fascinates me today even and I watched the drummer wondering how he did it. This band has to have more variations of their songs on so many different compilations of their own songs that, well, I can't think of another band with as many.

    Annabella makes this band with her facinating voice. Missed seeing them live in 2004, wish we had, see how they've held up. All these songs are lovely. Can you sample with the listen button? Constant double bass drum like a real jungle sound, then her very clean pure voice singing a variety of love songs with lyrics that sort of have a New York sophistication though, of course, they're from England. They don't really fit being called New Wave, they made their own sound and it's quite fun. No downer songs, not punk, yet the pop about them is nothing sachrine, it's robusto.

    I was lucky enough to buy about 6 of their 7"s at a used record swap meet in Long Beach about 1986 all for about $1.50 each. Fun packaging on everything they released usually.

    If you don't already own several of their records this is definitely a greatest hits. I admit, I don't have this exact version and I'm intrigued to see what the 12" versions sound like. chrisbct@hotmail.com

    3 out of 5 stars Growing Up too fast!.......2006-06-01

    Since day one, I have come to like Bow Wow and I'd have to admit he is the one reason I have drawn away from the Backstreet Boys. Anyway Wanted is an album that I have doubts about. I enjoy the songs on it for the most part and feel that he has matured, however I at times feel that Bow Wow tries a lil' too hard to let listeners know that he has grown up. I love Bow Wow but in my opinion he doesn't have to use the "N" word for listeners to know that he has grown up. Also listenin' to cuts such as "Do You" and "Freshazimiz" you can tell that he is full of himself. As a fan though, I would have to say that this album is pretty good, however I don't think that he has to try to display a thug image in order to grow.

    Only punk rock entrepreneur Malcolm McClaren would think of putting a 15-year-old Burmese temptress (Annabella Lwin) in a wisp of a loin cloth in front of a bunch of guys with painted faces, all beating on drums. Bow Wow Wow, another of his projects after the Sex Pistols, was a celebration of all things tribal. Songs like "Golly Golly Go Buddy!" and "TV Savage" were percussive enough to rattle everything in the cupboards with Annabella's sing-song vocals barely, if not enthusiastically, carrying the melodies. There was a great deal borrowed from primitive chants, and "Prince of Darkness" and "Chihuahua" both sounded as if the band was conjuring up some voodoo spirits. "I Want Candy," Bow Wow Wow's biggest hit, reverberated with a big hollow body guitar lead and again drums, drums, and more drums. By the time of "Candy" and "Louis Quatorze" Annabella's vocals were starting to mature past the yelps, and she finally sounded as if she could catch her breath. Her solo turn, "Fever" had Lwin fully in control of her sensuality, and her version of the classic is as strong as any. When assembled en masse, Bow Wow Wow's Best of suggests the band was more than just a McClaren footnote, being contenders in their own right. --Steve Gdula

    5 out of 5 stars Listen to the Samples to get an Idea if Your'e Unfamiliar.......2005-12-27

    Bow Wow Wow is not a Household Name, They Charted Once in the USA with "I want Candy" (Top 50), and released only 3 Proper Albums...Their Sound is Tribal, the Lead Singer Annabella often Yelps to Percussive Drumming and throbbing Bass, The Mixture yields Many Great Tunes, but it can take getting used to, as it did for Me, I was not a Fan untill much listening...If You don't know a lot of the Group's Songs, I suggest listening to as many 30 second Samples as possible to get a feeling of whether this stuff is digestible...Most of the Songs here are first-rate, I particularly Love "TV Savage", "Golly Golly Go Buddy!" and "Louis Qatorze", along with Annabella's Solo Turn "Fever"....If You want to explore further, I suggest the CD "Girl Bites Dog: Your Compact Disc Pet" to round out Your Collection, it includes more Gems, such as "Sexy Effiel Tower" (Where 14 Year-Old Annabella Pants Orgasmically...and more authentically than Donna Summer)and "Radio G String", as well as 3 Cuts from this CD in different versions; But begin here, and don't go further unless You Adore this CD....

    5 out of 5 stars Actually...the band *is* "the Ants" :).......2005-09-25

    ...and not a "rip off" thereof. Adam "Ant" left the band...the band (Adam and the Ants) and their manager found a new singer, and a new direction, in Myant Myant Aye...er, Anabella Lwin.

    Just wanted to clear that "rip off/stolen" thing up...and add that I listen to this record often...C30,C60,C90 Go!...relevant for our times, even tho a lot of people don't know what a C30/60/90 even is anymore :)

    5 out of 5 stars I hate nostalgia, but..........2003-06-09

    This record conjures up fond memories and at the same time is proof-positive that Bow Wow Wow was way before its time. I just love "Where's My Snake" and "Chihuahua" which were hard to find in the 80's (at least for me), and it is nice to have a compilation like this that presents the true essence of this original, fun band. Great, great fun!!

    3 out of 5 stars Get the import!.......2003-05-30

    Bow Wow Wow have some great tunes, but my favorites are all on the IMPORT The Best of Bow Wow Wow, not this domestic version. The import has the original versions, which I prefer. The tracks on the domestic CD are overproduced and play like "extended disco versions".

    5 out of 5 stars I haven't listened to this stuff since the 80's...........2001-03-27

    ...I must say it's nice to come back to after hearing the dreck that's out nowadays. The drums & bass on this CD are far above what you hear these days. The bass player is very funky in a non-overkill-slapping way (e.g. Flea). He's sort of a cross between Rocco Prestia (Tower of Power) with a little bit of Mark King (another Brit, from Level 42) thrown in. Very rhythmic stuff and more power to them in pulling it off in a post-punk/new-wave pop era & style. One thing the CD lacks is the naughty song "Sexy Eiffel Tower" which is sort of the 80's version of a Donna Summer album (a lot of heavy breathing). But overall this is an excellent CD for the money for an underrated and hard-to-find band.

    4 out of 5 stars seductive.......2007-03-31

    Seriously, this soundtrack is exactly what the movie needed, and frankly should have been. The music is seductive, driving, pounding, creepy and thrilling. Its electronica, in the giorgio morodor mode. In fact harold faltermeyer, who wrote the music was giorgio's writing partner. The non instrumentals were catchy though not radio friendly, but today, at 4am driving to work on a long commute, i was captivated again, after 22 years! every note is where it should be. i finally got this on cd - as i wore out the vinyl. If you are a fan of pulsating electronica of the 80's, then i recommend tracking down this cd - mine came from denmark with remastering and remixes - and its as clear as anything moby or bt wish they could come up with -

    Thief Of Hearts Soundtrack is really cool. I have seen 2 different editions to this rare and out of print soundtrack. The original and a digitally remastered version with extra tracks. I own the original version and Highly recommend it. The music is very calm, relaxing and uplifting.

    4 out of 5 stars A good collection for the passive Bow Wow Wow fan........2006-11-09

    Like a ton of only people, I only really knew of the early 80's band Bow Wow Wow was in the form of their smash cover of the 60's song "I Want Candy". Also, like a lot of males growing up in the 80's, I remember their hot jailbait female singer who was only 16 when her and her bandmates made the video for I Want Candy. The fact that they almost always had her fully nude on a lot of their album covers/singles didn't hurt either. ;)

    In fact, check out almost any 80's pop collection of any sort and it's bound to have I Want Candy on there.

    But this band was highly influential to a lot of musicians. Musicians as diverse as Gwen Stefani (No Doubt), Larry "Ler" Lalonde (Primus) and Flea (Red Hot Chili Peppers) have mentioned about how profound of an effect this band had on them in the early days.

    To be honest, though, Bow Wow Wow has always been kind of an easier band to fully appreciate than to actually like.

    Which brings me to this recent Bow Wow Wow compilation done by VH1 classic and Sony. Is this the most thourough compilation of their material? Not by a long shot. Also, at only 45 minutes in length, they could've put a lot more on here. If someone is a hardcore fan, they'll probably go after the 30 dollar 2 disc anthology that was only released in the UK.

    But for a more passive fan or someone just wanting to hear what they were about beyond their one hit in the states "I Want Candy", this is ideal listening.

    You get 14 tracks with most of them being taken from their actual album I Want Candy.

    Compared to some of the other "We Are the 80's" compilations, thie remastering job done here isn't quite as stellar. But it still sounds better than the original versions. I just wish that the same time and care had been put into mastering these tracks. Compare this to the Scandal WLT80's compilation and from a sonic angle it comes up short.

    Bow Wow Wow's sound is really hard to describe and really needs to be heard and properly absorbed to get what they were doing. Jungle rhythms permeate most of the proceedings in terms of the tribal percussions heard throughout. The bass player is absolutely phenomenal. The guitarist's style would heavily influence bands like early Chili Peppers stuff.

    And the female singer's vocals are playful, sexy and full of innuendo. It might make someone feeling so guilty due to she was only 15 or 16 when she cut most of these tracks, but hey, when I was growing up in the early 80's and was only 8 or 9, she was one of the hottest women around.

    While purists will bemoan the lack of many tracks, this does work perfectly fine as an overview of their material and sound. A lot of people won't like it as a lot of the tracks don't follow the normal verse/chorus/verse/chorus/solo style of songwriting. It's kind of more of a funky, poppy, jungle rhythm type of stream of consciousness type of songs.

    Some of the tracks do tend to run together, so I'm having to knock 1 star off of my ranking.

    5 out of 5 stars I Want Bow Wow Wow.......2006-08-02

    I could NOT be more excited about this CD being released with my favorite song of all time: I Want Candy!!! This CD is going into permanent rotation in my CD player starting today. Of course along with the rest of the We Are the 80s collection. =)

    5 out of 5 stars Do You Wanna Hold Me? Great Bow Wow Wow Set.......2006-07-23

    Bow Wow Wow are also one of the select few artists in the new VH-1 Classic "We Are The 80s" CD collection. Bow Wow Wow-We Are The 80's arrives in stores on July 18th. The CD includes 14 songs from Bow Wow Wow including their biggest hits "I Want Candy," "Baby, Oh No," and "C30, C60, C90."

    Faithful Bow Wow Wow fans know that lead singer Annabella Lwin was only fifteen years old when the group recorded their debut album. According to the liner notes Annabella's mother attempted to ban the release of the groups first album See Jungle! See Jungle! Go Join Your Gang, Yeah, All Over! Go Ape Crazy! due to the fact that Annabella appeared on the cover in the nude. Annabella was discovered by former Sex Pistols manager Malcolm McClaren who was looking for a new singer for a new band. Matthew Ashman, Leigh Gorman, and Dave Barbarossa, who were former members of Adam and the Ants rounded out the group that would become Bow Wow Wow.

    McClaren was integral to the early days of Bow Wow Wow, but he stopped working with the group after their first album. Bow Wow Wow toured the United States for much of the early 80's. Sadly, group member Matthew Ashman passed away in 1995 due to diabetes.

    Adrian Young, best known for being the drummer in No Doubt toured with the band in 2004. The CD, Bow Wow Wow-We Are The 80's includes a very well written history of Bow Wow Wow. The liner notes were written by Randy Haecker, Director of Media Relations for Sony BMG Legacy. He has been writing about pop culture since the early 80s.

    The songs on the set sound great. The biggest hits, "C-30," "Do You Wanna Hold Me?" and "I Want Candy" are here. It would have been nice if they fit a few more songs on the set since most of their songs are short.

    I have loved Bow Wow since day 1. But I heard that this album do so well in record sales and I thought it wasn't going to be all that good. When I heard it though, I thought it was kinda cool Bow Wow was getting more mature with his lyrics and cowritting most of the songs. Some of songs are OKAY but for the most part the CD is hot. It's something that's good to cop.

    1 out of 5 stars Please go back to school.......2006-08-31

    I never liked Bow wow's first album, but I thought if JD wasn't pullin his strings he could have spread his wings and put out some good rap. Well I was wrong as he11. I'm convinced now there is no lyrical talent in a single cell in this kids body. Good beats with very weak lyrics. Bow wow do yourself a favor. You probably dropped out of school, go back and get your GED and take your a** to a trade school and become a carpenter. Cause this rap s*** is not for you. Your survivin on blind luck alone.

    Yeah this album smell like a rottweiler that has the runs. Bow wow has no skills and should quit. Anybody that has JD writing there rhymes is not only stupid but they are even wacker then JD could ever dream to be.
