Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: good Comment: Great CD, all in all, theres a couple odd songs, but you get used to them, but all in all, this cd is really good and does represent the movie :) especially with a few Skits to go with it :) Customer Rating: Summary: First rate old school music for young generations Comment: Although I do not own this album, I know several of the classic songs included in it. Kudos to the creative minds behind the movie and its soundtrack, for they're introducing young generations to the great world of first rate, old school rock (a territory I'm pretty familiar with). I've seen this movie several times simply because I love the way these kids rock. However, my heart ultimately goes to Maryam Hassan, who plays the character of ultra shy Tomika, for two reasons: 1) Her incredible, mind blowing, vintage Rhythm & Blues voice reminded me that there's a widely rich, varied and rather idiosyncratic universe called old school African American music, a territory I'm eager to explore after hearing her. And, as far as I know, she was only ten years old when the movie was made!. 2) I also have extra pounds. In the words of the late soul giant Marvin Gaye, right on Maryam. If you ever get to read this review, please be so kind as to keep up the good work. I believe you might be the next Aretha Franklin, and, given the dismal quality of the majority of popular music being made today, the world badly needs another "Lady Soul". But let's not forget that this movie is about Rock & Roll, so I would like to give the following advices to the rest of the kids: keep rocking hard, with total frenzy and abandon, and try to find "your own voice". If you're so great at the age of ten, you might take rock to the next level in the future. That's exactly what four Brits known as Led Zeppelin did. Once again, the world badly needs a generation of gifted, groundbreaking rock musicians. Finally, here's my recommendation to everyone who wishes to be introduced to the wonderful world of truly great Rock & Roll: buy this Soundtrack, pick up your favorite artist(s), and start your own Rock CD collection. Yes, you read it right: CD collection. Chances are that, at least the classic albums by the artists included in this record have been remastered and reissued in "Deluxe" packages with nice booklets that include comprehensive liner notes and many photographs. Customer Rating: Summary: Not as good as i thought. Comment: The film was good, and i liked the music, so i bought this. I put it into my stereo and sat back to listen. The best track is propbably Fight by No Vacancy, are they a real band? Only buy this if you are a fan of rock as most of the music is quite old, but there are some new tunes on like Growing on me from the darkness. It isn't as good as i thought it would be. There are some tracks i don't like, Touch me Ballrooms of mars primarily, but apart from that everything is good. Customer Rating: Summary: Just a couple of songs missing, but still a great album! Comment: This is a great album with some terrific classic rock songs on, but they could have included some more of ACDC's songs that were featured in the film. Plus, what happened to the school of rock songs: "The legend of the rent" and "I am really ticked off!" Even though I miss some songs, buy this soundtrack because it is really good. Customer Rating: Summary: Ultimate rock album Comment: What can i say? This album really does rock in every sense of the word. Its a great sound track to a great movie which i would highly recommend. The track list is perfect with the odd extract from the legend that is Jack Black. These extracts are amusing to start with but to become a bit annoying after the fifth time listening. The best suprise in this album are the two tracks from the band featured as "School of Rocks" main rival, "No Vacancy". These guys really rock. The song 'fight' is a fast pased anthem that i can really get into. And the other song "Heal me, I heartsick" truely is one of the best songs I have ever heard. The rest of the great featured artists are a great mix. Well worth your money, especially at the low prices on Amazon. Something for every generation on this album. I recommend the film highly to.
