Music Is Good, Movie Was Not.......2007-08-02
I'll start off by saying, anyone who read this book was rightly horrified by this movie. It was god awful. It seemed the director was trying to pull off another Underworld, and IT DID NOT work. People who read the book loathed it, and most people who havent read the book, that I've talked to, still thought it was a weak movie.
But we're not talking about that, we're talking about the music, and that wasnt all that bad actually.
Songs to mention are...
'Stripped' for its great imagry and 'mystical' sound.
'Terrible Lie' for Mercury Falls vocals and the way she makes you belive she so angry.
'I Started Something' because its just really really catchy and fun.
'Flesh For Fantasy' sounds oldiesish, but its worth listening to for the catchy lyrics and the wonderful male vocals.
'Love Will Tear Us Apart' simply because this is how the book actually ended. Their love did not make it, and that brings back some memories for book readers.
'Out of City' and 'Kissing A Wolf' have no lyrics, but are both fast paced with good beats. Much fun to listen too if you're in an instrumental mood.
So over all, the CD is good, but out of 16 tracks, I really only listen to those 7. While the other songs are good, I just didnt get into them as much. But that's my opinion.
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.
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.
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

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!!!
hip hop cd that little kids can enjoy 2.......2007-04-06
I think if it had curse words in it people would love it. i happen to like that there is not a single curse word in it. allot of my hip hop cd's i cant play with the kids in the car this one i can. thank u bow wow for that. i do enjoy the cd.
Fifth album.......2007-03-28
If you like Bow Wow's music, you will like this CD. That's all
Some collaborations are a little slack but it sounds very well
Another brilliant album
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!

Customer Reviews:
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

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.
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. =)
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.

Fake gansta is right, he may sell more albums than lil romeo but aleast lil romeo is real and knows not to disrepect an icon. Am a mega huge Will Smith fan. Bow wow needs to go down some doggy biscuit.
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.

Bow Wow.......2002-04-25
This is by far the greatest work of Johnnie Guitar Watson.
There is a lot of truth to go along with the funcky beats.
Wish he was here to make more.
A sad fate for such a fine artist.......2002-03-02
This is one of the most depressing albums I've ever encountered. Let me explain why by way of analogy.
You remember those Saturday Night Live sketches from about ten years ago where Dana Carvey does Johnny Carson on the Tonight Show? In one installment of these sketches, Johnny Carson (Dana Carvey) is dressed in a fancy zoot suit with a box hair cut a la Kid n'Play, talks 'black,' and behaves like Arsenio Hall. For his part, Ed (played by Phil Hartman-RIP) is dressed in a flashy red suit and wears shades. Carson, it becomes obvious as the skit progresses, is afraid of being left behind by the times and desperately wants to fit in, to be "cool" and relevant again. He feels threated by the success and 'hipness' of Aresnio Hall. That Johnny Carson, a fixture of American comedy, should feel threatened by anyone is absurd. Even more preposterous is his feeling the need to reinvent himself in another's image.
This is the problem with "Bow Wow." We occasionally see glimpes of the old Johnny Guitar Watson on the album--the guitar riffing during the first 20 seconds of the first track, for instance, is tight. Otherwise, the album is a desperate attempt to fit in with current trends in black music, with tracks alternating between ridiculous sounding Boyz to Men type pieces and tracks that are meant to be super funky, but end up instead sounding like an incongruous mix of P-Funk and Weird Al. Why, Johnny, why? Thoroughly depressing. Avoid. Or better still, buy as many copies of "Bow Wow" as you can get a hold of in the hopes that those unfamiliar with Johnny Guitar Watson will not be able to find this album, and instead buy one of his earlier ones.
this Brother was Wicked.......2001-01-06
Johnny "Guitar" Watson was super bad as a musician&artist.i have listened to this Man for many many years.He always reinvented Himself&would out do Himself over time.His Blues of The late 50's 60's was tough.then His 70's Funk was no Joke.He came back one last time to give up the goods&he does really well here.What a Great Musical Genius He was.He makes His Guitar talk.chekc this out A.S.A.P.A must Have.
Johnny G Forever!.......2000-12-17
....this came out in 1994 or 1995 thereabouts shortly before he joined the Great Band in the Sky. Pssst. Come in closer, I wanna whisper in ya ear. This is who they are really playing in them blues joints and roadside clubs. "Doing Wrong Woman" has Johnny in bluesy vocoder mode. Y'all know I'm a big vocoder fan... The track truly smokes. Ghetto anthems "Hook Me Up" and "It Takes Two" are just real, raw...the 'real deal' Johnny Guitar. I can see him pulling up to the gas station in his L-dog to get two hot dogs and a strawberry soda...
Hook Me Up.......2000-01-14
This is the best of Johnny Guitar and the last album he recorded. I have been looking and looing for this CD that carries this song. Please help.

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

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....
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 :)
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!!
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".
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.

Bow Wow Wow's best release.......2004-04-03
This is the music that comes to mind when I think new wave; fast beats with a punk undertone, high energy and fun. It's on my list of top 50 albums of all time (bear in mind I'm a huge new wave fan). I can play this entire album without skipping any tracks. If you like this one, you should also try When the Going Gets Tough by Bow Wow Wow.

This album is tight.......2006-02-25
Viper the one who said that this album is wack needs to stop hatin he's just mad because bow wow's accomplished more than he ever will he said the same thing about Doggy Bag. He needs to stop hatin on Bow wow because the 11 tracks that he made was hot and it's a really good start for a 13 year old. If he got so much mouth why dont he come out with a C.D. and let us critic it. I bet he wont like what we have to say about it.
Oh yeah I forgot to say G-unit aint even all that
This is what I'm talkin about.......2006-01-19
This CD is a classic Bow Wow CD. This is very 1st CD before he became Bow Wow. There's a lot of hot tracks on this album like "Playboy", "Bounce With Me" and "Bow Wow (That's My Name)". Yo but there's a lot of guest appearance like Snoop Dogg, R.O.C., Jermaine Dupri, Da Brat, Xscape and Jagged Edge. Lil' Bow Wow was 12 years old when he came out with this CD. This is probably the best out of all his other albums he came out with.
And we thought Romeo sucked(and he does)........2005-12-22
Just read the title.Pause, take a minute,meditate and think long and hard about what's just been said.Then you should get the picture.
Beware of this album.......2005-12-12
Bow Wow sucks, he's horrible and always will be. He has bubblegum watered down lyrics, stupid content, juvenile topics, and absolutely no talent what so ever. If your 10 or over and you listen to this, I pitty you. Go get some Eminem, G-Unit, Dipset, Snoop Dogg ect. Not this watered down crud, there is so much better rap out there than this crap.
Bow Wow.......Nerd/Thug you decide.............2005-11-16
Bow...Wow is trying to be something he's not.His blend of r/b/rap dont mix and he just cant draw the line between nerd and thug.Its like drawing an line between cats and dogs,they dont mix.Or apples and oranges they dont mix either.And Bow -Wow and rap definetly dont mix either!
