Various Artists - WWE: The Music, vol. 8

Good wwe cd but...

A good wwe cd but the sound quality was bad on some songs. Manly track 5 enetitled in the middle of it now. But I personally love track No chance in hell by theory of a deadman, The ECW theme by slavia featuring Brent Smith of Shinedown. And of course turn up the trouble by AIRBourne. July 4, 2008

WWE The Music Volume 8

Well i think people on here are expecting next year's Grammy award winning album. Here is the deal about the CD from a wrestling fan to another, The CD is good. Most of the themes are currently being used by the wrestlers. These wrestlers are: Jeff hardy, Kofi, Beth Phoenix, Mark Henry, Hawkins & Ryder, ECW brand, Jesse & Festus, Candice Michelle, Shelton Benjamin, Mr.Kennedy and John Morrison. So if you dig their actual entrance themes well thats exactly what you are getting.The few songs that are not "covers" but newly recorded versions are cool too. Y2J's theme on this CD is slower but rockin' and pretty heavy. Theory Of A Dead man's version of Vince's theme is awesome too. As far the WWE holding off to give us better themes, which superstar out there has a theme we don't already have? The CD is great for WWE fans of the music. April 24, 2008

Real music is Fozzy All That Remains Reloaded with Y2J

Not that good

Kofi's and ECW's themes are pretty good. But the rest of the songs arent that great. I will go down each theme.

Jeff Hardy - very plain and not good quality
Kofi - pretty good, not a fan of reggae, but I like this
Beth - I was expecting more from this instrumental, but all of the instruments lack substance which does injustice to the composition
Mark Henry - 3 minutes of the same repetition? really bad
Edgeheads - generic theme and bad quality
Jillian Hall - no surprise it is bad, but it is meant to be funny and it is, so I have no big problems with this as WWE CDs need a comic relief
Mr. McMahon - a remix, not much more to say, but atleast it is not too bad of a quality
ECW - nice full song with nice aftertouches that make it complete, unlike many songs on this CD
Jesse & Festus - Quality is so low that it seems to be mono
Candice Michele - actual techno theme, but I preffer her earlier theme as this is another 3 minutes of general repitition
John Morrison - just not my style and low quality, seems sloppy to me, but I think it is just a matter of taste
Shelton - his new song, average song, which unfortunately makes it better than a lot of this CD
Kennedy - plain classic rock, and again bad quality
Jericho - hardcore remix of his song, but the quality is no good on it

This album is pretty mediocre, a let down from what they have done before. Not really worth buying as the quality means it has little replay value. March 26, 2008

Why the Covers?

First of all, I don't like the inexpensive cardboard CD folder.

As for the songs, I was surprised by how enjoyable Kofi's song is. The ECW theme is clearly the best song on the CD, but I have often questioned why they chose this theme for ECW.

I would have rather had Jeff Hardy's original Hardy Boyz theme and Chris Jericho's current theme, similar to what is found on WWE The Music 4 and Anthology. I also like Kennedy's previous version more than the version on this CD.

This CD features so-so covers of McMahon's theme, Shelton's theme, Jericho's theme, and Kennedy's theme, which now lacks Kennedy's "MR KENNEDY!!! voicover.

Overall, it is an ok CD. I think they should have waited a little longer and given us better, more original themes with less cover songs. March 26, 2008
