Editorial Review: Amazon.com: This volume of the chart-survey series is its best yet, offering stellar examples of nearly every subgenre it approaches. Interestingly, the platinum machine's eighth outing is also its most subtle (the take-your-time sultriness of Aaliyah's "Rock the Boat," Usher's "U Got It Bad") and teasingly offbeat (Gorillaz's dub-wise sleeper "Clint Eastwood," the Wiseguys' noise-hop "Start the Commotion") moments. Whether this indicates a trend toward the return of a higher-quality singles chart has yet to be determined, but save for a small handful of crummily derivative nontunes from Jessica Simpson, Fuel, and 3 Doors Down, the music here makes a good case for itself. Could a broadening definition of what's mainstream be fomenting? Caveats: 'N Sync's "Pop" is included in a remix that bleeds the record of some of its novelty, while Jennifer Lopez's "I'm Real" appears without the Ja Rule rap that helped lift it to bestseller status. --Rickey Wright Customer Reviews
Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Now 8Overall, a definate great CD. I love various artist compliations. You get a little more variety than your average CD. Heres my opinion: 1. Destiny's Child, "Bootylicious": Good song, a little pointless...but catchy and easy to dance to. I don't really like the lyrics...kinda stupid. But it's good for what it is-- a dance song. I give it 3/5 2.*NSYNC, "Pop": Classic pop song. Not my favourite...but I understand why they included it. It WAS a pretty big hit for them. And I admit, it's a cute song. 4/5 3. Jennifer Lopez, "I'm Real": Doesn't quite live up to a few of her other hits. In my opinion, they should have used the Remix with Ja Rule. It was a bigger hit and a little catchier. But not a bad song overall. 2/5 ... Read More: Rating: - Vol. 8Okay, here we have a near perfect 'Now!' CD, packed full of songs that everyone can enjoy, whether it's public knowledge or a complete guilty pleasure like N'Sync's 'Pop' is for me. Either way, this is a pretty good comp. album to boot. Diva's Destiny's Child open things with their campy single 'Bootylicious' which has become synonimous with Beyonce at this point in time, and the song itself, while holding no real merrit, is fun and enjoyable if not to sing along with at least to laugh at. Latina superwoman Jennifer Lopez gives is 'I'm Real', but not the version we're all used to, this is the cleaned up remix version that doesn't include Ja Rule and doesn't even sport the same lyrics and or beats...regardless I still love this song and think ... Read More: Rating: - Now 8; get it NowThis is the only Now C.D. I've found so far that has had enough songs I like on it for me to buy it. The song I recommend most on this C.D. is track #12 (Clint Eastwood), which has an incredibly good lyrical flow and a simple yet perfect piano accompaniment in the background. There is also the energetic "Fat Lip" from Sum 41, which has many different types of music jammed in one (there is an almost rap-like jam in some sections, a jog-paced section, a soft part near the end, and of course the fast-paced main chorus). Aside from these songs, I would also recommend "Start the Commotion": a song that samples horn blares, bass guitars, 60's singers, an organ, and much more into an entertaining blend. "Me Myself & I" is also pretty good for its interesting ... Read More: Rating: - It's Hard To H8 "NOW 8""NOW 8" is a good album that isn't the most memorable in the popular series, yet for some reason the album bears a special meaning to me. Maybe it was becuase my life had gone through some changes and it was the 1st edition after the changes. That aside, the album contains many great singles including 2 of the 10 Best Songs of 2001 ('N Sync's "Pop" and Usher's "U Got It Bad"). And the album is very skimpy on hip-hop/rap, especially when compared to "NOW 7". (1) Destiny's Child "Bootylicious" A-. This is a fiery, zesty, stormin' R&B dance track that anounces itself with fury. There is a true zip in it's club ready beat; one that never let's down. Has all the qualities that made "Survivor" so good, then takes it to the next level. Hard to belive that this ...

On Now 8, many highlights from the summer of '01 are jammed onto one disc for your listening pleasure! Thank God for Now 8! Bootylicious (10/10) - The hottest track on the CD. Destiny's Child is the best and will always be the best! Pop (10/10) - One of NSYNC's hottest songs. This futuristic sounding track is one of the best cuts ever. I'm Real (7/10) - The remix is way better but this one will do. J. Lo needs to stop lying to herself because she is not real. But this song is really good. Stutter [Remix] f/ Mystikal (8/10) - The beat is sick but Mystikal's rap is totally whack and messed the flow of the song up. Someone ... Read More: |
