Warning: Listening to these annoying pop albums may leave your brain cells fried to the extent where you are as mentally impaired as Johnny Rezeznik. Album Reviews is where I review the albums that come with the other wise crappy films/tv series. The albums don't tend to have any similarities between the movies. Oh yeah, they both suck!

1. Pokemon Theme - Billy Crawford
This is a more professional(I guess) version of the campy Pokemon theme we've been hearin for the past two years+ in the English dub. Unknown pop singer(pop?{That's what he sounds like anyways}) Billy Crawford delivers this number quite annoyingly. Just imagine the same song done with a crappy pop singer, some extra lyrics to drag out the song a tad longer and you get this. Not one microne(sp?) better than the tv theme. Not even worth the time to listen too. NEXT!

2. Don't Say You Love Me - M2M
This song was decent, but is the first song to suffer from the fatal flaw. What's "the fatal flaw" you ask? IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH POKEMON! It says on the album cover and I quote: "Music from and inspired by the motion picture". What a load of crap. What does bein a pushy boy friend have to do with the movie?! I remember one of the webmaster's of Up Network was not too pleased with the music video. The Foo Fighter's video for "Break Out" was centered around a drive in where characters from the movie were worked in and the drive in was showin "Me Myself and Irene(the movie the track was for)". Now, this video takes place in a drive in as well. Using the formula above they may have pleased the Pokemon fans, but what does some record label care about Pokemon fans? I mean, extra exposure for M2M is fine and all, but sorry I'm sure any true fans of anime would just hate this.

3. It Was You - Ashley Ballard/So Plush
Is it me or does this sound like a Celine Dion track? This song is done by no name artist Ashley Ballard. It's about friendship and all that crap. I can't help, but feel that this song isn't suppose to be the average friendship; ya know, a romantic? Is that they're suppose to insinuate? Still not worth the time to listen too(or download for that matter). NEXT!

4. We're A Miracle - Christina Aguilera
I have nothing against Christina, but(I use too many "but"s) this song suffers from "the fatal flaw". But(there I go again) take my word for it; here's a review by Pokemon fan "Nitrothunder":

"I hate teeny bop music. almost all the singers and bands I hate are compiled on this CD. I really hate billie. This is not as good as 2BA Master. this is teeny bop trash."

This song is about "Against all odds two people end up together or some shit". Once again showing a relationship that isn't even represented in the movie. Nice job guys.

5. Soda Pop - Skancky Queers/some no name freak
I don't know about you, but(the 1000th time I made a sentence similar to this) I'd be offended to have Britney Spears on my album. This is Britney's attempt at a Reggae song, which in the end is quite crappy. But don't take my word for it(startin to sound like the Reading Rainbow guy, huh?), here is an opinion from N Sync N Duces Vomitting:

"Ugh!! Double UGH!!! What the fuck is Britney trying to do with this song? This is Britney's version of "Giddy Up(A crappy N Sync song)", mainly the worst song on the album. It's a cheap reggae knock-off. This is supposed to be a party song, but I seriously doubt anyone would be grinding to this song anywhere, except maybe at the kindergarten graduation parties. Is it just me or did Britney sound better when she was 11? She should've quit while she was ahead. Throughout most of the song, she just mumbles and you can't understand a damn word she's saying anyway. Something about a Soda Pop fizzing and the clock is ticking or whatever... (????) *LOL* Like Britney herself, this song makes no sense. Do yourselves a favor and skip this migraine of a song. Britney + Reggae = Crap."

That should give you more than enough reason there to not buy this album. *sarcastic* Actually, I should shut-up before some Anti-Anti Pokemon site accusses me of slander.

6. Somewhere Someday - N Sux
Now this should absolutely be the reason why you should not even look upon this horrid piece of crap. Average N Sync song. Justin(or "J" as he likes to be called) and JC hog all the lyrics while the other members act as the background idiots. This song is about "finding the place where your soul won't be currupted by the evils of the world". Yeah, I heard a similar story from a heroin user. At the end it's so bad it sounds like they're saying "summer wear" whatever that is. This also falls under "the fatal flaw" thing. Not even the worth the time to make the song. Next!

7. Get Happy - B*Witched
This song is all well and good, but(I really need to take a creative writing class) what does "We got the feelin of Saturday night" mean? What's so speacial about Saturday night? I feel no different than any other night. I hope this has nothing to do with "the drink," which is another popular Saturday night refrenece. Boring and has nothing necessarily to do with the movie.

8. Free Up Your Mind, (Hey You) - Emma Bunton a/k/a Baby Spice
"Free Up Your Mind" sounds like a lesson the Pokefreaks can bennefit from. Afterall, they're close minded individuals who only think that their views are the truth and they can't see two sides to one story. What a bunch of fools. Okay, I'm trailing off. This is probably the best song on the album and that's not so great considering that this song is rather average.

9. Fly With Me - 98 Degrees
This is one of those boy band songs. The ones that the artist have no say in and are forced to perform, because of their record label. It's some love song(can't really find the point to it). So, ya know this suffers from "the fatal flaw". I hope they're not trying to suggest that Ash and Misty or Jessie+James have a relationship. If they were thinking that then all those old record exec farts most be quite the smart bunch(yeah right...). I don't like Pokemon, but(#1,678) ya gotta have some sympathy for our friend Hydrothunder. I mean, he spent his well earned money on this thinkin he/she was gonna get a Pokemon album, but(#1,679) she/he ends up gettin this crap pop album. Like I said, it's songs like this that should make Pokemon fans offended; not reinforcing there love for the product(Pokemon).

10. Lullaby - Mandah/Jigglypuff
I don't know who Mandah is, but she needs to stop doing duets with Pokemon. Such a career move could end hers. "Jigglllllllllllllly...Jigglly...puff"??? What the hell is that!? If Mandah is smart, she'd never colabarate with another Pokemon again. This song is some sort of suductive love song, thus suffering from "the fatal flaw". Besides those two factors this would've been a good song if it wasn't for that talentless loser Jigglypuff.

11. Vacation - Vitamin C
How this song applies to the movie is anyones guess. Vacation? I thought Ash, Brock and Misty were always on a vacation of sorts. When you watch the movie you can clearly see that non of characters are on vacation(atleast I wouldn't call battling Mewtwo a vacation). Unless, they mean "Pikachu's Vacation" I could understand that, however they said these songs were for the movie, not the little feature at the beginning. All the "let's go"s in this song make it sound like some car commercial. Overall, it's a good song, but it just doesn't and shouldn't have place on this album. You wouldn't want your name next to such losers as Britney Spears and N Shitz.

12. Makin' My Way (Any Way That I Can) - Billie
This is a song by UK Sensation Billie(think of her as Europe's Britney Spears). This is a "fatal flaw" song. Let us see what Pokemon fan "cindidol" thiks of all this love song stuff:

"I honestly thought this wasn't a bad CD. I like all the songs, but one thing confuses me. Why is the theme song "Don't say you love me"? I mean, there isn't any romance in the movie, and Ash and his Pikachu are just friends."

LOL. Could WB Records have thought that Ash and Pikachu were a item? We all know that Ash is gay, however(nice replacement, huh?) I never thought that someone would mistake him for hitting on Pikachu. Actually, when I begin to think about it, Ash looks like he hits on Pikachu a lot.

13. Catch Me If You Can - Angela Via
"Catch Me If You Can" nice one guys. One song that actually has something to do with Pokemon. Ya know, "Gotta catch em all". I suppose if you also had a song on hand called "The First Movie" you'd use that also. Very clever guys, very clever... Unfortunately, that doesn't give you any points in my book. Corny song by a even cornier artist. Correct me if I'm wrong, but we'll be seeing her graces on the next album, right? I'm gonna have one "hell" of a time then too, huh? Heh heh...

14. Fun With The Funk, (Have Some) - Aaron Carter
There is some stupid love lyric in this song so ya know what that means. I don't know who Aaron Carter is; all I know is that he is hated rather widely. This song is about havin a party for the most part. I can picture all the five year olds bustin, grindin and groovin to this crap. Be cautious when handling this song. Afterall, you don't all that hazardous waste material all over you.

15. If Only Tears Could Bring You Back - Midnight Sons
A song that actually represents the movie(nice job guys...not!). No name artist handle this song about losing someone you love(If this song isn't about Pikachu hitting on Ash I don't know what it's about). It's times like this I am thankfull for Napster and other such people that make music piracy so convienent.NEXT!

16. Brother My Brother - Blessid Union Of Souls
This song represents Mewtwo's change of heart at the end of the movie. It's one of those "Let's just get along" songs by some no name artist. NEXT(Oh, wait it's over)!

Final note:
This album was okay. With it's combination of N Sync and Britney Spears+No name artist however, make this album blow...hard. So, do yourself a favor and never listen to it. Even if you have Napster or somethin.
