Various Artists - Beverly Hills 90210: The College Years

Totally enjoyable

I really enjoyed this album when I got it years ago and still do today. The vibe of the CD was wonderful. Regardless of the fact that it disappointed some people I thoroughly enjoyed the whole thing and it was one of my regulars on the turntable. I loved all the tracks. I would also recommend the Melrose Place CD - nice vibe again. Peace. January 3, 2008

Half the album good; the other half bland

This is not as strong as the '92 soundtrack that came before it. While there are good numbers by After 7, Hi-Five, Cantaloop and others, half of the album is consisted of bland, faceless numbers that wouldn't have been played on the TV show in 1994. I don't listen to this one as much. The album tends to shy away from the mostly dance pop of the other one for the show's characters being in college. But the ballads are surprisingly bland and there's not a continuous balance on the album when you hear it. So I suggest you pass on this one and stick with the '92 album instead.

Wretched

Like the plot segment of the prime time soap this soundtrack is named after, the material contained on this CD is simply lackluster and an attempt to cash in on the earlier (more successful) soundtrack for the series High School beginings.

The selections do not even reflect artists that would be popular on a major metropolitan college campus (indie artists), and the sound eventually blends together in an inchoherent but iritating mix. March 3, 2002

Good in places

While the album as a whole is basically mediocre, the song "Not One More Time" is exceptionally beautiful & has a lasting effect on its listeners. June 9, 1999
