Great pop sound, and I'm so impressed that they wrote most of the songs themselves! Great lyrics that you won't mind your child listening to as well! Lots of dance mixes, but some slower songs as well.
What's great about it: Catchy tunes, upbeat sound, wouldn't mind your child listening to it

If the movie is as good as the soundtrack, then I’m sure I’ll enjoy it. This CD has a good mix of classic tunes (REM, the Cure, Talking Heads) that I grew up with balanced with newer songs that I had never heard before. I always think it’s nice when soundtracks are mixed like that so you have some familiarity with the tracks, but you’re also exposed to new music. Some of the tunes will have you bouncing in your seat, while others are much more sedate. They all center around love in one way or another, making them perfect for this time of year! But don’t worry, they aren’t mush – you aren’t going to get a toothache listening to this CD! I do know I’m going to enjoy this CD for a while.
What's great about it: Good mixture of older classics with new music

If you're searching for something different, this is a CD you should definitely look into! Most of the songs are sung in Italian, but many of them are familiar songs so you have an idea of what you are listening to. These men are all professionally trained musicians, so the sound is wonderful. I've been to many operas and can recognize their operatic roots.We listen to a lot of classical music around here, and this is something that I definitely wouldn't mind adding to the mix to liven things up.
My favorite song on the album was Hallelujah. It's a song I've always liked, but they really brought it to life for me. Being an ABBA fan, I also really enjoyed The Winner Takes it All as well. I was a little disappointed with Amazing Grace - it's one of my favorite songs and I thought that they could have done a lot more with it.
