Editorial Reviews :
If you thought Stitch was a ball of fire, wait till you see your kids bobbing, bouncing, and breaking bad to this soundtrack. The kid/Elvis Presley connection is by now a known quantity (check out the many kid-specific compilations devoted to the King), and the songs selected here couldn't make better sense--'Stuck on You' sends 'em out on the living-room dance floor and serves as this shake-and-shimmy session's starter course; 'Suspicious Minds' blows off its paranoia for packs of precocious lip-synchers; 'Heartbreak Hotel' will have to adjust its check-out time; 'Devil in Disguise''s dips and swerves demand a full-tilt rock-out; and 'Hound Dog' plants a seed of suspicion in your own mind: Was that song written for grown-ups? A couple of covers--Wynonna's throaty, work-you-up 'Burning Love' and A*Teens' bubble-yummy 'Can't Help Falling in Love'--keep the bobby-sox brigade cutting the carpet until a three-track slice of score returns us to a soundtrack state of mind. 'Stitch to the Rescue,' 'You Can Never Belong,' and 'I'm Lost,' from composer Alan Silvestri, race forward with snatches of danger, intrigue, and playfulness, stopping every so often for swells of hope and heavy-heartedness. But once Elvis leaves the building and Silvestri hits the lights, it's this record's two Hawaiian originals that hang back. Mark Keali'I Ho'omalu's 'Hawaiian Roller Coaster Ride' and 'He Mele No Lilo' sway with the gentleness of a grass skirt, heaping on a classic hula vibe that'll chase off any remaining ants in the pants of pork-chopless, pelvis-swiveling Elvis pretenders.
Buyer Reviews :
This is Disney's most fun soundtrack in quite awhile. You can't help but smile then get up and dance along to this collection! Five of the 12 songs are Elvis originals, and sure to be the most crowd pleasing tracks presented. There seems to be great potential for animating to these songs. I look forward to what the Disney animators have come up with. Strangely, 2 or 3 of the tracks stat off with a few seconds of dialog. I don't care for this kind of thing, but at least they are very short sequences.
My favorite tracks though are the the 2 original Hawaiian themed songs by Mark Keali'i Ho'omalu. They hit on just the right combination of authenticity and pop. They're sure to become staples of luao parties across the country. I'd love to hear a whole album of material like this!
'Burning Love' by Wynonna is a rocking rendition with a country twang. But the A*Teans version of ''Can't Help Falling In Love' is too sugary sweet to be consumed. One listen was more than enough for me.
The three tracks of score are good enough, but you'll be listening to the Elvis and Hawaiian songs much more. And that's the real problem. These score tracks take up nearly 14 minutes on a 40 minute CD. That means if you're not planning on listenig to the score, you're only getting 25 minutes of music.
As usual, a limited edition (30,000 units) of the soundtrack is available from Disney stores and the Disney Parks. It doesn't offer any extra tracks, but does include a cool picture insert that changes between two images when tilted.
