Bow Wow

Excellent CD! I think it contains some of his best music yet. Received in perfect condition, and quick and easy transaction.

Not really one of Bow's better cd's i prefer Wanted myself. This is one cool though with tracks like "4 Corners w/Lil Wayne, Pimp C", "Outta My Sytem w/T-Pain", Shortie Like Mine feat Chris Brown and "I'm A Flirt". It makes for a decent album but i'm hoping that Bow Wow's collabo CD with Omarion will up the game a little bit. Its not a cd that really does a whole lot besides the tracks i listed and a couple others. Its only average and worth a few listens at best.

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!!!

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.

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

The Blood & Chocolate soundtrack consists of Music that wasn't even heard in the Movie. Disappointing. But, this soundtrack has introduced me to some cool bands that I've never even heard of. After looking everywhere for this soundtrack and not able to find it anywhere, I decided to buy it off Itunes and give it a good listen. Now I'm hooked. The Music is addicting. I'm not sure what you would call the type of music in this soundtrack; electronic, alternative, new age, etc ... It's like an electronic rock. But, I do know that most of these songs are cover songs from the 80's such as "Terrible Lie" and "Flesh For Fantasy". But I still think if you're going to make a soundtrack, use the music that was "actually" in the movie. That's what a soundtrack "is". They shoud've made a second soundtrack or something.

1. Stripped* Shiny Toy Guns 5/5
2. A Forrest* Lunar Click 4/5
3. Blood* Sparklemotion 4/5
4. How Soon Is Now* Bobby Gold 5/5
5. New Skin* New Skin 5/5 = 2nd Favorite Song
6. Terrible Lie* Mercury Falls 5/5
7. Out Of City (Hot Bloody Chocolate Remix) 5/5
8. I Started Something I Couldn't Finish* Bow Wow Wow 5/5
9. The Killing Moon* The Distants 5/5 = Favorite Song
10. Haunted When The Minutes Drag* Collide 4/5
11. Chocolate* Work 4/5
12. Venus In Furs* Black Rainbow 2/5
13. Halloween* Tre Lux 3/5

I think this is an amazing soundtrack, personally the best one I have heard in awhile. All of the songs are really good, and it gives you a really good feel for the movie. It has some movie scores also and I think all of the songs in here really compliment each other. It is a really good album, and I think anyone who is a fan of the movie or music in general should buy it!

Best song: Stripped by Shiny Toy Guns <3

For future reference...

I've heard only bits and pieces of this soundtrack and it's not THAT bad. I've never seen the movie so maybe that's a deciding factor, but here's where my beef with this film/soundtrack begin and end:

WHY ARE YOU PUTTING MUSIC IN YOUR TRAILOR THAT ISN'T EVEN ON THE SOUNDTRACK? (from reading reviews, seems as though that's a recurring problem, songs from the movie not on here that is)

If you're like me and wanted this for the sole reason of the amazing song in the trailor for the movie, well, it's not here. Thank God I decided to check into it before buying this. As for the product itself, if you can find it really cheap go for it. The Collide song alone is worth it (though not new, only a remix of a song that was originally on their remix CD), but there are a few other songs that merit at least a listen.

Oh, and if you're wondering, the song in the trailor is Stand My Ground by Within Temptation. Including them on the soundtrack would've been a good idea just to break up a lot of the monotony.

I bought this CD hoping that the songs I liked from the movie were on it. Low and behold, there aren't any songs on her that played in the movie, but in the credits.

Don't bother buying this.. it'd be cheaper to just get the songs you liked from iTunes.

First off, I loved this movie! I am one of the very few who did. I loved the music in the movie as well, but this CD is missing my favorite songs from the movie: Hard-Fi's Cash Machine. The song played as Vivian took Aiden up to the roof of the private property. Some of the music clips also sounded like bits from that one Mandy Moore song. Anyway, weak CD! Good movie. I am reading the book now!

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....

...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 :)

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!!

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 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.

TO all the Hater I think Bow Wow is great and I would Like for all the people to stop hate.

Oh no Bow Wow swearing so what he still sucks at rapping and should just go back to acting cuz rapping is not gonna work ecspecially when u have mike jones in your music videos and songs. Fu*k Bow wow Lil Romeo and No Limit is better then him.

I'm not so great in english but I wish that you understant what I try to say :P

I have this cd and I listen this almost everyday. I recomment this!!
Have you seen Scream tour 4? I recomment that too!

Bow Wow is best!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

For all you haters that's talking about lil bow wow's album needs to check themselves just because lil bow wow got it like that. You'll just mad because lil bow wow's talented and you'll wish you were talented so, since you'll ain't got no talent and wish you'll could be like him. In solving this problem all you do is hate so don't get mad just shut the hell up.

The Album Doggy bag is hot youll keep talkin about how he is so consided but youll arent the ones makin the album. When youll become famous then you say something about his music. Until then youll need to keep it quite!

This album should be used as a bag to pick up your dog's s----. Yeah it's that bad! People this isn't rap, this is pop garbage for little kids. Don't support this idiot. I don't know what Snoop was thinking when he put this idiot on. Support good rappers such as Eminem, 50 Cent, G-Unit, Cam'ron, Lil Wayne, Juvenile, B.G The Diplomats, Beanie Sigel, Boyz N Da Hood, Cassidy, Snoop Dogg ect. That's good rap right there not this pop garbage.

I thought this non-concieted attitude of Bow through the skits were just cute. "Thank You" and "Take You Home" were just cool tracks. But I just thought this album was really deciated to his true young female fans and his thing called "puppy love".

I can`t believe all you haters that hate on him. He can rap better than yall. I love this cd. I believe that he`s better than lil romeo. I know that not too many white people or should i say crackers don`t like rap. White people listen to rock music so go on ahead and listen to yall stupid rock music. One white boy in my middle school said that he don`t like rap because he think it`s gay. He listens to his stupid rock music. Rap is not white peoples thing. Only black people like rap. Oh yeah and that`s right eminem raps to and i like eminems music. Maybe white should listen to his music. White people don`t listen to rap and black people don`t listen to rock.

I have loved Bow Wow since day 1. But I heard that this album do so well in record sales and I thought it wasn't going to be all that good. When I heard it though, I thought it was kinda cool Bow Wow was getting more mature with his lyrics and cowritting most of the songs. Some of songs are OKAY but for the most part the CD is hot. It's something that's good to cop.

I never liked Bow wow's first album, but I thought if JD wasn't pullin his strings he could have spread his wings and put out some good rap. Well I was wrong as he11. I'm convinced now there is no lyrical talent in a single cell in this kids body. Good beats with very weak lyrics. Bow wow do yourself a favor. You probably dropped out of school, go back and get your GED and take your a** to a trade school and become a carpenter. Cause this rap s*** is not for you. Your survivin on blind luck alone.

Yeah this album smell like a rottweiler that has the runs. Bow wow has no skills and should quit. Anybody that has JD writing there rhymes is not only stupid but they are even wacker then JD could ever dream to be.

BOW WOW IS NUTHING BUT A PUNK B*TCH
I WOULD LACE HIM UP. I AINT RICH BUT I GET THE GIRLS AND THAT;S\\\


DAT;S COOL THIS ALBULM REEKS.
I COULD HEAR HIS MANAGER IN THE BACKGROUND SAYING !!!!!!! HUT UP BOW WEEZY !!!!!!
YOU SUCK. SHUT UP

Bow Wow sucks as a rapper and has no talent what so ever, in fact garbage like him is what is killing rap today. Don't buy this and don't support this clown under any circumstances. This teen pop music like Hilary Duff, Ashlee Simpson and Justin Timberlake. If you think that this idiot has skills or talent, than you haven't listened to much rap. Avoid this and any other Bow Wow albums.

If you like Face Off then you will LOVE.. Smoke Sessions by Devin the Dude. This is one of the best of 2008.

i am a fan of both of these guys, but not a huge fan! when i bought this cd i was pleasantly surprised how much i liked it! they make a good team!

Omarion was the lead singer for the boy band B2K. Bow Wow was the hazel-eyed young protégé of producer Jermaine Dupri. They team up for the first time on a compilation entitled "Face Off." The album is very enjoyable. Their lyrics indicate that they are no longer the teenaged fellers we were introduced to several years ago. Relationships with women, sleeping with women, sleeping with women already in relationships and being cocky are among this album's subject matter. Also, these men verbalize their fair share of obscenities and sexual innuendos. Bow Wow outshines Omarion on most of the songs because his delivery is great. Bow has an undeniable energy in his vocal performances. Omarion holds his own, but I don't expect too much from him vocally because he has never amazed me with his vocals.

Most of the tunes found on this album are up-beat with decent production and lyrics that are good, but are probably more appealing to a younger audience. The album opens with a very energetic number called "Face Off." This is one of those numbers that amps you for a workout or a long day. Both guys do a great job with their performance and the end result is that this is one of the best tracks on this album. "Girlfriend" was released to radio, and though it took me awhile to get into this song, I now enjoy it. The beat is great and so is their delivery. "Hoodstar" and "Listen" also have good production. "Listen" interpolated strings with a hip-hop beat, which was different, but certainly a fresh idea. Bow Wow administers nice lyrics on this one. He's a very able lyricist, although his subject matter is way too narrow. There is more to talk/rap about that women, cars, and prestige. "Take Off Your Clothes" is a very raunchy track. It isn't difficult to imply what this song is about based on its title. The lyrics will make your jaw drop, but the beat will make your head bop.

I was impressed after the last song went off. These guys did a nice job with this LP. I recommend this one to young women and fans of Bow Wow/Omarion. For those folks, I'm pretty sure it won't disappoint.

Mikeisha's Top 5

1. "Face Off"
2. "Girlfriend"
3. "Listen"
4. "Hoodstar"
5. "Number Ones"

Wow! Bow Wow and Omarion doing an album together. I like this CD. Its hot! I don't give a damn about what others say about it. The album marks the culmination of a joint collaborative process dating back to 2005. This album has been certified GOLD!

Face Off 3/5 - Rip off of the Jay-Z and R. Kelly song "Best of Both Worlds". Omarion also claims that this is his 6th album, but even if he counts his the 2 B2K releases it only adds up to 5 albums.

Hood Star 5/5 - First song leaked and also the best song on the album.

Girlfriend 5/5 - Good first single choice. If you didn't like it then you won't like the album.

Hey baby 3.5/5 - Second single and samples "Push It" by Salt N Pepa. Didn't like this song at all but grew on me since the video was released.

He Ain't Gotta Know 3.5/5 - Produced by T-Pain. The song is pretty much the entire gist of the whole album which I will explain later in the review.

Bachelor Pad 3/5 - I hope Timboland didn't charge too much for this sub-par beat.

Listen 5/5 - A very quality song. It's a tie for best song with Hood Star.

Can't Get Tired Of Me 3.5/5 - Song would be alot better if it was an Omarion solo over this smooth R&B beat.

Number Ones 3/5 - Excellent production but doesn't fit in with the rest of the songs. It's more of A Jay-Z or Kanye style beat. Plus the hook is awful.

Baby Girl 3/5 - Feel good song, some people will like it more than others.

Take Off Your Clothes 4/5 - Sexually explicit lyrics. Hot bridge by Omarion.

Another Girl 2/5 - Not a good closer. Probally most would agree it's the worst song.



Overall there isn't too much exciting material going on here. Bow Wow's lyrics are EXTREMELY repetive and claims that Face Off is "music at it's purest". In almost every song Bow Wow has a girl who already has a boyfriend. Bow Wow is better than him though because he is either "flyer, richer, and he drives an Astin Martin". Bow wow also claims to be a "young Ron Jeremy". Omarion definantly took a step back on this album. His first solo LP I consider a modern R&B classic. Face Off was sounds like it was rushed. There's a mentioning of Kanye West's song Good Life on "Baby Girl". That song was realeased only a couple months before Face Off was realeased. Anyways... Face Off sticks to the formula and will appeal mostly the young. Being 20 years old and a young guy myself, I am old enough to know there is alot of better Hip Hop out there to enjoy... but hot songs like Hood Star, Listen, and Girlfriend will be in rotation on my iPod.

ok, so i admit that i probably like this album because i was actually at one of the concerts that was recorded. (sometimes i can even imagine i hear myself yelling anabella's name...) but in re-listening to it, i hear energy, enthusiasm, and lively sense of fun. the band doesn't seem to take itself too seriously, but they do realize that they have fans who are there for the music. anabella lwin sounds great which is impressive given that most of her original vocals were recorded when she was in her teens. the play list is a bit of a rehash of previous albums - but that's a given considered the limited amount of material the band put out in the first place. and in honesty, i'm not listening to bow wow wow 'cuz of their new material.

It's bad, as it is, when a band mixes, remixes, re-remixes, slices and dices 15 year old material.

I count this as the third album containing basically the same songs (girl bites dog) and (the best of BWW). Would have been nice to hear some "from the archives" stuff, or even (gasp) some NEW stuff.

My very first impression was basically outrage. Listening to the first cut of "Do you wanna hold me" (track 4) reminds one of a Disco Roller Derby. It's as if someone gave the producer a copy of "Rebirth" or other such synth capability and said "come on old chap make it FUNKAY." The second version later in the CD is better (no bogus studio effects).

After you clear track 7, it gets better (the live version of "Sexy Eiffel Tower" is especially of note).

I wasn't to cool with the fact that three different mixes of "I want candy" were included. I've always hated that song, now it's three times a loser.

OK, so maybe it isn't a One Star wonder. I'll upgrade it to 2, but only on the merits of its nostalgic value, not of its breakthrough new mix.

To buy or not to buy? I say wait for it to hit the "Clearance and fire sale" rack or similar special page here at AMZN. At 3.99 it's a steal. At $12.99 it's like hitting yourself in the head with a hammer, it's probably better to refrain.

Was very happy with my CD. Entire process was positive. Easily found what I was looking for on Amazon. Thought the price was fair. Received item in timely fashion & in perfect condition. Would shop again...in fact, I did today!

Bought this for my [...] who loves the movie...and now LOVES the CD. He is all about basketball these days...so this is perfect to put in the boom box and shoot some hoops!!

Yo ppls could you please tell me what is the name of the the song that Calvin Cambridge-Bow Wow Tracy Reynold- Moris Chest nut were singing when the were in the car going to da pharmacy.

Please tell me at hasantasleem@msn.com

Can anyone help? It's kind of a dance-y, rave track played during a scene of a basketball game in the movie..it might be played during Calvin (Lil Bow Wow)'s first NBA game...I'm pretty sure it came out around 2000-2001...does anyone know what this song is?!

It's Rule by Nas. It's a re-do of Everybody Wants To Rule the World by some 80s group :-P
