Amazon.com: Unlike some CDs spawned from TV shows, there's not a lot to recommend SpongeBob SquarePants: The Yellow Album to listeners who don't set their clocks by the Nick cartoon. But in a culture as Sponge-ified as ours has become in the six years the series has been airing, does it really matter? The resounding, Squidward-sanctifying answer is No. Songs like "Bubble Beat Box" and "Jelly Fish Jam" have their limitations, sure--for one thing, they seem to last a split second, vamoosing before a 9-year-old can really get her groove going. And it's not as though our rectangular friend was able to recruit a lineup of animation-loving rock legends to re-ripen his appeal the way he did on 2004's heavy-hitting SpongeBob SquarePants Movie soundtrack. But as fans who invest great gobs of time studying the porous pineapple dweller know, the opportunity to play tracks like the "Campfire Song Song" and "Ripped Pants" into perpetuity is one that can't be passed up. Plus, there's some decent music here: "When Worlds Collide" shuffles along to a pleasing hip-hop beat, and for parents, the unsparing, absurdist "You're Old" plays like a laugh-serum-laced poison dart. Those songs alone make shelling out the allowance worth it. --Tammy La Gorce
Great CD A very great CD for whole family. Both my son and daughter enjoy it very much.
Great collection of the songs of Spongebob I got these for my son, but to be honest I love Spongebob just as much as he does if not more. We listened to the whole cd and it was great hearing all the great songs from alot of the episodes. I love the whole thing, a wonderful collection of listening pleasure!!!!!
Songs are short?? I bought this album for "Sweet Victory" but it is only HALF the song! Why not put the entire song if you are going to create an album?!! Doesn't make sense to me.
This is the right one.... I bought a couple of Spongebob albums for Christmas this year. This was the right one. The best day ever sucked, it was random new music that was created to be supplemental to the show, but not directly related to any existing episodes. Had I known this I wouldn't have bought it. My kids still like it, but the Yellow Album is all the great songs that I love FROM THE EPISODES! Nice. All I have to say is the best time to wear a stripped sweater.....is....the best time to listen to this CD, man.
Entertaining fun, induces memories of the show. I bought this for my two children who are huge fans of the show and they absolutely love it. I even enjoy listening to the cleverly written songs that bring back memorites of my favorite episodes. You really get a lot for your money on this one, there are quite a few songs.
