Customer Reviews:

A good value.......2007-05-17

I wasn't expecting to have 4 discs for this price, and the music is a quality selection of film music, giving a good scope of the genre, and a very listenable transfer.

The Sound Track Since Bernard Hermann.......2006-07-25

This collection is bound to capture your heart and evoke a tin ear on successive tracks. I found much to like and some duds - easy to skip over.
Very good value.

Good mix of film music.......2006-07-02

Good mix of films!
I'm a big fan of this soundtrack music and will be looking for more CD's like this.

A mixed collection of movie music.......2006-02-23

For the price, this CD is a great bargain. The musical selections, as you might expect, are mixed in quality ranging from extraordinary to so so, the balance being worthwhile and interesting. Sonically the CD is excellent.

Uplifts your soul, takes your mind into the heavens.......2006-01-06

I have been listening to great scores for many years and this collection is truly inspirational in so far as the choice of different scores takes you on a journey of listening pleasure matched by only a few collections.The price is incredibly reasonable for hours of listening pleasure. Don't pass this one up

Great compilation.......2002-05-10

I don't actually own this particular compilation, however, since I own nearly every recording represented on these discs...I think I'm qualified to comment. This is a wonderful representation of the high quality of work that DRG Records does.
The previous review is way off the mark. This is definitely not a waste of time or money. This is 25 years of preserving Broadway shows, Off-Broadway shows, studio recordings (mostly from the city center concerts), etc. So what if they "aren't as good as the original", DRG is preserving many recordings and artists that other mainstream labels don't or won't. You have wonderful recordings from Brian Stokes Mitchell, Nathan Lane, Debbie Gravitte, Tyne Daly, Anthony Perkins, Joanna Gleason, Marin Mazzie, Carol Burnett, Heather Headley, Patti LuPone, Barbara Cook, etc., and many of these are from Original Cast Recordings just as they appeared on Broadway. This is an excellent sampler of the work going on at DRG. No...I'm not an employee...just an avid listener and collector of theatre recordings.

A disappointment.......2001-12-15

There's a reason you've probably never heard of most of the songs and shows on this album, not to mention most of the artists. This is a second-rate collection of second-rate numbers performed by mostly second-rate artists. In the case of the shows that were revivals, the performances on the original cast recordings were better. Don't waste your money.

A Step-Up From 'Chase the Cat', a Step-Down from Classic Short Dog.......2007-06-02

'Married to the Game' is a pretty good album from Too $hort, but once again it's not another classic like many of his older albums were. Despite this, this is a good new-school, post-retirement Too $hort outing. It's definitely better than 'Chase the Cat', which was a very un-even album.

'Married to the Game' starts off with an awful opening, 'Choosin'. In fact I though this album was going to be complete rubbish because of that. However, it gets off to a decent start with 'What She Gonna Do?', which is very modern and pretty good sounding. 'That's How It Goes Down' is embarrasingly bad and is a candidate for the worst song Too $hort has ever done. The next few tracks are fantastic, and N.O.R.E. adds to 'You Can't $&#@ With Us', which makes it a great song. 'Shake That Monkey' could've been a huge single, and 'Burn Rubber' shows that producer Lil Jon has more talent than most will give him credit for. 'Hey Let's Go' features E-40 and he adds some goodness to the track. The rest of the album is pretty good, but none of the last few tracks approach classic status.

Overall, 'Married to the Game' was as good as post-retirement Too $hort was going to get. It's not the classic his early albums were, but it's not the disaster his new s**t is either. It's one of his more memorable albums in the past few years.

Album "#15" is another alright one - 3.5 stars.......2005-11-11

Just a year since his last album, $hort Dog is back with album 15. Of the 10 I have of his albums, this falls in the bottom third . Typical Too $hort that we all love, but without the tight beats and 6+ minute songs. A good amount of dirty songs, but once again as with most of his albums after his '96 "retirement" the production is lacking. Of the 15 songs, 9 are good (no classics and only about 2 are real good), 5 are ok and 1 I skip. Guests rap on 2 songs and do hooks on about 9. Production is as I said, ok but no that old school classic $hort funk that everyone loves. Dez does 8 songs, Lil Jon does 5 songs and Jazze Pha and the great Ant Banks each do 1 song. A good album for his fans to have but not his best.

#1 - 8 (f/ Jagged Edge & Jazze Pha)
#2 - 9 (f/ Dionne Denham -- great beat from Big Bad A$$ Banks)
#3 - 7.5 (f/ Oobie)
#4 - 9 (f/ Petey Pablo & Noreaga -- tight song but $hort is out of place on here -- good beat)
#5 - 7 (f/ Lil Jon)
#6 - 8
#7 - 8 (f/ Devin the Dude & Cutty Cartel)
#8 - 8.5 (nice beat)
#9 - 7 (f/ Dez who drops an annoying hook)
#10 - 5
#11 - 8 (good beat)
#12 - 7.5 (f/ Dez -- he gives props to Cali Girls -- not $hort-like)
#13 - 6.5 (f/ Val Young)
#14 - 8.5 (f/ Val Young -- nice beat)
#15 - 8 (f/ Dez)

Good Album But The Older Albums Are Better........2005-10-14

It's a good CD, But I think that his older LPs are better (late 80's and early to middle 90's speaking). Because back then he
and Ant Banks were making beats that was full of funk and bass
now he is working with people like Lil' Jon on which I think
isn't right for him. And another thing, after 25 years he is out
of know where showing golddiggers, hoes, & groupies respect!.
What happened to songs like "Ain't Nothing But A Word" &
"All My B****** Are Gone" instead of songs like
"California Girls" & "Female Players"? I hope you are not getting soft on me, $hort. I think the only way to attract your old fans again and to sell like you use to, is to go your old style. FAST!!!!!!!!!!

Married To The Game.......2004-10-26

This was a very good, but personnally I liked Life Is...Too Short better

1.Choosin' ft. Jazze Pha & Jagged Edge-4.5/5-Nice Jazze Pha beat, but the biggest problem with this song was the Jagged Edge verse, because i definately preffer them on hooks
2.What She Gonna Do?-5/5-One of my favorite songs on the album, love the beat and short's verses are great
3.That's How It Goes Down ft. Oobie-3.5/5-Good song, but the rapping isnt great on this one
4.You Can't F*ck Wit Us ft.NORE & Petey Pablo-5/5-One of the best songs on the album, has a great crunk feel, and 3 great MCs
5.Shake That Monkey ft.Lil Jon-5/5-The reason i bought the CD, not a traditional Lil Jon beat, but great anyways
6.Burn Rubber-5/5-Another "non-crunk" Lil Jon production, but this is probably the best track lyrically
7.Hey Let's Go Ft.Cutty Cartel & Devin The Dude-4/5-Very good song
8.Pimpandho.com-4.5/5-Too Short raps about his favorite subject :-D, nice beat too
9.Hobo Hoeing-4/5-Annoying chorus, but a nice beat and short's good on this one
10.Get It-5/5-Another one of my favorite songs on the CD, maybe my favorite beat on the album and Too Short drops really hot verses
11.Married To The Game-4/5-More nice production, and Short still doesn't disapoint
12.California Girls-3/5-Good song, but i don't like short's slower songs too much
13.What's A Pimp?-3/5-Another slower song
14.Don't Act Like That-4/5-Short's very good lyrically on this one
15.Short Short-3.5/5-Pretty annoying beat but short makes it still a good song
This CD is definately reccomended for any West Coast and/or Bay Area fans, and any other rap fans in general, but its not a classic like Life Is...
