Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

And so the mighty Now That's What I Call Music juggernaut rolls on, crushing all competition in its wake (anyone remember its erstwhile competitor "Hits" which petered out after about five volumes?). Now 45 conforms perfectly to the formula that has made this series such a success, packing in hit after hit of disposable poppy tunes. CD One goes for a mixture of out-and-out pop fare, with S Club 7, Britney Spears, Vengaboys and Aqua, and R&B-lite from the likes of the Honeyz, Precious and Fierce. CD Two goes off on more of a dance tip, with chart-topping-tastic "choons" from the likes of Chicane, Moloko, Basement Jaxx and the omnipresent Moby. CD Two then goes a bit weird at the end with Blink 182 and John Lennon--two tracks that the compilers were obviously keen to include but didn't seem to quite know where to put them. Apart from that it's easy-on-the-ear, high-on-the-saccharine from start to finish. If this is what you call music, then you'll love it. --Helen Marquis

2.0 out of 5 stars when I wur a lad...., 26 April 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Now That's What I Call Music! Volume 45 (Audio CD)
At 24, I'm probably much older than the average listener to this CD. I even remember when Now (1) came out (I must be truly ancient then!) Granted, the earlier albums didn't exactly sparkle from start to finish either (it was the mid-80's after all!) and it would be unfair to expect a truly great pop compilation album every six months, but I can't help feeling that the CD only too well reflects the dearth of good music around these days. Amazing to think that the Britpop boom was a mere 5 years ago, when a CD like this is full of such soon-to-be-forgotten wonders as SClub7, Fragma and Vengaboys. "Now" has a duty to be popular, but it also has a duty to gently introduce some more interesting and inventive music to the pre-teen and school-age audience. That's how genres like garage become so popular. So where are the likes of Death in Vegas, Primal Scream, Charlatans, Super Furry Animals etc etc?

On the plus side, there is the phenomenal "Natural Blues" by Moby, the two great Artful Dodger records and even "Imagine" for those 2 or 3 people who don't already have a copy.

Music should be diverse, it should have its fair representation of pop classics (Never Ever, Baby One More Time, I Try etc show that they are still being written), and if the greatest music isn't at the top of the charts, then compilations like this should bring them in from elsewhere. But they won't, because it may make the series less popular, at least to begin with.

Now that's what I call a cop-out.

5.0 out of 5 stars Now That's What I Call Music!, 3 Nov 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Now That's What I Call Music! Volume 45 (Audio CD)
This is an excellent CD. It seems to be a milestone (#45) of some sort, the front cover design, 45 tracks (the most for a 'now' I think). Well, the CD itself. CD1 starts off very well. Gabrielle's Rise, Mel C and Left Eye's Never Be The Same Again, along with Craig David's genius creation Fill Me In are all in the Top 10 of the year so far. All the tracks on this side are brilliant. CD2 then. Some massive dance hits, a few RnB anthems jutted in there (including the great Thong Song by Sisqo). The Fragma and Sisqo tracks keep it fresh for time. (These were top 5 the day it came out.) Also, for the first time, some garage, Artful Dodger and Craig David appear twice! At the end it seems to get a little different, as someone else said these tracks obviously wanted to be included but they didn't know where to put them. And it was a GOOD decision to put John Lennon's classic Imagine on here, because many young people buying the CD probably wouldn't have it already. I usually tire of the spring 'Now' edition, but this one has a good summer vibe to it. Better than 46, 47 without a doubt.
