Various Artists - WWE: The Music, Vol. 4

They've got the moves, they've got the outfits, and yes, they've got the music. Anyone familiar with the part circus-sideshow, part rock-video testostoronefest of the World Wrestling Federation's Raw and Smackdown shows will recognize the entrance songs for the hottest stars in the WWF. These are the songs to which the wrestlers power up as they take the stage amidst flashing lights, fog machines, and rock kicks to challenge their rivals. The majority of tracks on this compilation are suitably high energy, with enough power chords and distorted vocals to make even doing your laundry seem edgy and potentially dangerous. Stone Cold Steve Austin's "Oh Hell Yeah" sounds like Ministry lite, Chris Jericho's "Break Down the Wall" is a catchy rap-metal number, and the Test's awesome theme song "This Is a Test" has been known to inspire twitchy, robotic dances in its listeners. By far the most entertaining song on this CD is Mr. Ass's cleverly entitled "I'm an Ass Man." With lines like "Buns of glory, buns of steel, your eyes will give away the truth of how I feel" you know he is serious about the subject of ass. For the more romantic wrestling fan, Mark Henry's "Sexual Chocolate" provides a smooth, Barry White-like change of pace. Not all songs on this CD have the same verve. Mankind's "Wreck" is rather monotonous despite background car-crash effects, which is disappointing since he is one of wrestling's most interesting characters and should have a good song. "Ministry," Undertaker's theme, never quite lives up to the swelling crescendos of its intro. But this is after all intro music; if the first 15 seconds are good enough to get the crowd fired up, who cares if the rest of the song, like the sport it represents, is mostly comprised of smoke and mirrors? --Michelle Riggen Amazon.com

So many asses, so little time!

These are WWF Superstar's entrance themes, circa 1999. They serve their purpose at a wrestling arena, but how do they fare as stand alone music? Not that well, actually. Most of them are rather repetitive, with the same riff playing over and over until the fadeout. But a few of them resemble actual songs, like "Break Down the Wall" and "Oh Hell Yeah" (not particularly good songs, but songs nonetheless). "Big" and "Ass Man" are especially stupid. There is a little surprise at the end of the CD, when The Rock sing a bit of "Heartbreak Hotel" during the fadeout of his theme music. If you are looking for old WWF entrance themes here they are.

The best WWE cd out there

They might have released a 3 cd set of entrance theme songs but this is the one collection with all the good songs you need. Sure Shawn Micheals theme song isnt on this, but No Chance in Hell is! That song rocks! Plus you can get this cd for a penny, I lost it and I got it for a penny! You cant go wrong with that, id recommend this cd for a wrestling fan who remembers when wrestling was good.
