iTunes.com<\/a>.<\/i>]<\/p>\nNext up is “Overdrive,” a rather pedestrian pop song by Avril
\nLavigne wannabe Katy Rose. This should appeal a lot to fans of,
\nwell, of Avril Lavigne. This is textbook
\nnew-millennium-girl-power-pop, and so should hit a chord with the
\nadolescent fans this movie will attract. “Rip Her To Shreds”
\nfollows in a similar vein. Brother-Sister duo Boomkat deliver his
\nbad girl rave up, which sounds like the long-lost offspring of
\nSheryl Crowe and Cindy Lauper, and is one of the standout tracks on
\nthe album. “Built This Way” was built wrong. It sounds like a song
\nwritten for a movie soundtrack, and is generic filler. It might be
\nfine as incidental background music in a movie, but it doesn’t
\nstand on its own.<\/p>\n
The next track is one of the most listenable on the disc, but
\nmore than a little out of place on an album targeted to adolescent
\ngirls. “Operate” by Techno-Porn queen Peaches seems a little
\nrisqu\u00e9 for this audience. Granted it’s cleaned up, but I can
\njust see 12 year old girls digging the track and then asking mommy
\nif they can buy Peaches’ latest CD, “Fatherf*cker” where the track
\noriginally appeared. It’s a cool piece of electronica, but probably
\nnot appropriate for the target group.<\/p>\n
“Mathlete Rap” is a direct lift from a scene in the movie,
\ndialogue and all. Pure filler and another throwaway track. Perhaps
\nthe scene in the movie is funny, and the track will illicit a
\nchuckle from someone who’s seen the film, but it falls flat here.
\nBlondie’s classic “One Way Or Another” is definitely the highlight
\nof the album. What can I say about this song that hasn’t been said
\nalready? It’s a stellar piece of 80’s punk-pop, a classic that will
\nsurvive the next ice age. Blondie rules, ’nuff said. Nikki Cleary
\nis up next, and she could learn a thing from Debbie Harry, as her
\nangry-teen-girl pop “Hated” fails to impress me. This track starts
\nout ok, but doesn’t have staying power. Another generic pop tune
\nthat tries to get some sort of angry-girl groove going, but the
\ndoesn’t deliver much.<\/p>\n
Anjali’s “Misty Canyon” is a pleasant enough bit of ambient
\ntrance-pop, but doesn’t really go anywhere, and I don’t think the
\ntarget audience for this disc will care for it. I hear those iPods
\nhitting skip again. I bet their mom’s would like this song though.
\nLast, and probably least, the album closes with a poorly realized
\nrendition of “Jingle Bell Rock” performed by the cast.<\/p>\n
Teenagers should find this enjoyable enough. For the most part
\nthe original songs are ok, and will appeal to fans of the movie. As
\nan album, though, it’s fairly forgettable.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":42,"featured_media":26703,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"artist":[5729],"rating":[11204],"class_list":["post-37960","review","type-review","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","artist-soundtrack","rating-rating-c-minus"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/review\/37960","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/review"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/review"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/42"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=37960"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/review\/37960\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/26703"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=37960"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"artist","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/artist?post=37960"},{"taxonomy":"rating","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/rating?post=37960"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
