Waited in anticipation for this as it sounded great on the adverts - First disc was not disappointed loved 98% of the songs - not so with the second disc - Didn't like 98% of the material on this - would mark this a 50/50 split but there is something for everyone.

It ok however i've alway found disc 1 better than disc 2 this time it was the other way around. A mix bag of music but it's that what the NOW CD is all about.

Now 72 is a collection of recent songs from the charts. Including comic relif singles. This would have been 5 star but I feel it was lacking some of the best songs such as 'If I where a boy' and 'run.' Appart from this I think the track list is good and I wasn't dissapointed!

Now 72 may have been released nearly 4 years ago, but it does sound like another world, in contrast to the current trends in pop music nowadays- more like Now That was Interesting, from a pop music perspective.
CD 1 is okay, in terms of the width and breath of pop music at the time, ranging from the likes of Lady Gaga's top-notch collaboration with Colby O'Donis to Alexandra Burke faithful, yet remaining inferior, version of the Leonard Cohen classic Hallelujah. But there is not much substance to withstand repeated hearings, unless you do not mind hearing Alesha Dixon's That Boy Does Nothing several times.
CD 2 delivers an interesting mixture of rock, pop, dance, and everything else in between. Even the novelty of Islands in the Stream does not sound too annoying, particularly amongst the likes of The Killers' Human, Noisettes' anthemic Don't Upset the Rhythm), and even MGMT's instant indie classic Kids. There are even surprisingly excellent contributions from the likes of the Pet Shop Boys, Metro Station, and Daniel Merriweather, who appears twice with a track from Wiley (Cash in My Pocket) and a superior collaboration with Wale.
Now 72 offer an interesting spectrum of pop from the late 2000s; but CD 1 does let it down, to the lowest common denominator, with its uninspiring selection of tracks.

Okay I hate compilations, I especially hate bad compilations of bad music. cd-1 is truly awful, cd-2 has a couple of good tracks on it and if that gets people who normally listen to Cheryl Cole to listen to the Script then I guess it might serve some purpose. I know people that buy this sort of stuff and they enjoy it, they understand nothing about music, but they enjoy it so good luck to them. This review is valid for #1 to #71 and all NTWICM which will be released in the future.
If you want a good compilation album buy 'acoustic chill', seriously good music and easy listening enough for the MTWICM crew to enjoy as well.

This was purchased as a Christmas gift for my Brother. He has all of the albums / cd's that have been released in this collection to date. He enjoys collecting them as it gives him the chance to have all of the most popular songs of the last 30 years in different compolation volumns even if he dose not want a full CD of each artist. He would recommened this to anyone thinking of buying it,

Yes another one for my collection and not one of my favourite but it really depends what era of recent music you like.

ANOTHER ONE OF THE BEST NOW ALBUMS EVER
This is another one of the best Now Albums ever. It is better than Now 70 and Now 71, but not as good as Now 73 and Now 74.
It is also very similar to Now 73. Read more
