I love every song on this CD. A mixture of pop, rap and alternative songs. Your money will not be wasted when you buy Now 29. I can't wait for NOW30.
 Hellish "Music" for a Cheap Price December 17, 2008
1 out of 4 found this review helpful
This latest collection of ear-punishing McMusic is exceptionally dreadful. I think Pink's ditty is the deadliest, but the others are painful as well. A maudlin dirge followed by Squawking and screeching in place of singing drowning in derivative, boring background music. This is the CD that's playing in the 9th circle of Heck. But I have to admit that the price is decent for a new CD - kind of like getting the cyanide for your suicide at half-price.
This stuff is lazy and shows how some music producers don't care about the music, just creating cheap junk that will be gobbled up by their target demographic. Buy real music made by real humans, not the extruded pabulum created by Madison Avenue.

Okay, here is my song-by-song review and the whole album review:
1. P!nk- So What

Original Position: Now 29
Comment: A very explosive start to this whole album, so rock!
2. Katy Perry- Hot N Cold

4. Rihanna- Disturbia
Grade: A+
Original Position: Now 29
Comment: This song is one of the most famous songs in this year. I heard this song from the TV ad a lot. Therefore, it is always a good move to have this song in this album. The song itself is so great and flawed.

Comment: It's okay. This song is not that bad. Just fine!

13. Jordin Sparks- One Step at a Time
Grade: B

17. Daughtry- What About Now
Now that's what I call the greatest music ever recorded ever November 20, 2008
6 out of 12 found this review helpful
I love every edition of the now series because, shucks, I just loves me some pop music. I love the songwriting by other people, the beats instead of people playing instruments and the fact that every song out now has to feature someone else. Originality? Who needs it, these tracks are just straight money. This compilation features several of my personal faves. I'll break a couple of them down:
Pussycat Dolls- Anything by PCD is just money in the bank. If you want danceable tracks about deep things like being hot, this is your group. The songwriting is off the charts awesome. If they all weighed 250 lbs and were unattractive, they would totally still be popular because they are very deep. It's like five of Joni Mitchell
Lil Wayne- I can count the number of CDs this guy is NOT on using my toes. If you tried to collect every CD he was on, you'd have roughly 3,423 cds. This cat is deep and has himself together. When my daughters get older, I hope this is the kind of guy they bring home.
Young Jeezy- Or as I call him "silky smooth". This guy has a voice that leads to sweet love on my corduroy couch with a ladyfriend. He is like Barry White, but instead of smooth soul joints, he rolls out really slow raps and grunts. He's now at the tippy according to the cell phone commercial
Pink- Yes, every song by her sounds pretty much the same, but you know what? Sausage pizza rolls have tasted the same for years and I still love them. Oh boy, give me some pizza rolls and a cool miller lite and it's on like pole position at skateland in 85. I don't even pay attention to what Pink says anymore, I just know she's awesome. She has tatoos and an attitude, what a total rebel!!
Asschowder- They aren't on this CD, but I figured they'll be on NOW 30, so I'd tell you about them. Their song "Yard O' Junk" is tearing up the charts in my town right now. Burns plays keyboards better than Depeche Mode, New Order and A-Ha combined. Their songs are filled with angst, but sensitive enough to make you cry about your breakfast. Let them in your world and your world will be a better place.
Daughtry- I had never heard of this guy until this album. He needs more exposure because he's really awesome.
Average asked this CD if it wanted to coupleskate and the CD gave it a crane kick to the head.
