3.0 out of 5 stars a good variety, 28 Mar 2004
the now series is aging slightly, yet each time it comes around it brings the same type of tracklisitng you would expect. mostly the cds are dull, consisting of poor chart-toppers and unispiring hits, and the odd ballad now and then.

The same is for vol.57 but this time there is an impressive selection of songs to go with it, and for once some of the chart toppers are actually quite good. Toxic an outstanding track that you have to pinch yourself to make sure it was releaesed by britney, deepest blue, and sugerbabes beautiful "lost in you" are all great songs.

Having said this there are some awful gut wrenchingly bad songs on both cds. atomic kittens ladies nights reminds us of why we should be thankful they are taking a break. the other awful tracks come from pop idol and fame academy. its hard to decide which one is worst.

Yet this double disk manages to save itself from mediocracy verging on crap by the wise inclusion of some brilliant alternative songs. Keane, franz ferdinand and snow patrol all contribute brilliant tracks. Blink 182 even join in, joining britney in the category of "never released a good song before but this ones great. Miss you is suprisngly one of the best tracks on there.

All in all, not a bad effort. but be warned if you buy it you will only be paying for a handfull of good tracks.

4.0 out of 5 stars Now... that's what i call a compilation, 29 Mar 2004
"NOW 57" carries on the series with the next installment of some of the best songs from the last few months. There are eight number ones from Britney Spears (Toxic), Peter Andre (Mysterious Girl), DJ Casper (Cha Cha Slide), LMC Vs. U2 (Take Me To The Clouds Above), Will Young (Leave Right Now), Kelly Osbourne feat. Ozzy Osbourne (Changes), Busted (Who's David?) and Michelle (All This Time).

Elsewhere there's the ususal mixture of infectious pop (Girls Aloud's Jump, Emma's I'll Be There, and Sugababes' Too Lost In You...), R 'n' B (Joss Stone with Fell In Love With A Boy, NERD with She Wants To Move...) Rock (Blink 182 - I Miss You) Indie (Keane "Somewhere Only We Know", Franz Ferdinand "Take Me Out"...) and, er..., more 'mature' pop (Enrique feat. Kelis: I'm Not In Love, Kylie Minogue: Red Blooded Woman, Alex Parks: Maybe That's What It Takes...).

The only few criticisms I have are that some of the songs are slightly old (Sugababes, Katie Melua, Atomic Kitten, Alex Parks, Black Eyed Peas and Will Young are just some of the artists who have released newer singles than those that are on the album)and also I think that the last 3 songs on CD2 should have been placed earlier on the album (especially Alex Parks).

1.0 out of 5 stars Ooh a shiny coaster!, 12 May 2004
Now 57 is an over-priced drinks coaster. It is the perfect gift for deaf spaniards and magpies (they like shiny things). Any self-respecting Britney Spears or Will Young fans - that's the under 12 market - will already have these songs. The few good bands in there are vastly outnumbered by the pre-teen drivel. The other reviewers are clearly EMI employees or idiots
