Product Description: Fans of High School Musical can breathe easy: Based on this soundtrack, the sequel is just as good, and perhaps even better. Though its trailer asked "Are you ready for the start of something new?" HSM2 isn't turning the franchise into The Wire, and really is more of the same--which is, of course, totally fine by us. One of the most energetic tracks is Chad and Ryan's musical/baseball number "I Don't Dance," propelled by a cool big-band swing motif (fans of director Kenny Ortega's choreographic work for Xanadu will be reminded of that movie's mash-up of disco and swing in the "Dancin'" number). Once again Troy and Gabriella get the ballads, but "You Are the Music in Me" is a fine one and doesn't get bogged down in syrup. It also gets reprised by Troy and Sharpay in a rockier and arguably better version. This is typical of the fact that, overall, the bouncier tracks fare best: "All for One" (with its handclaps and surfy guitar licks), the single "What Time Is It" (the time of our lives, of course!), "Work This Out" (complete with percussive, well, workout). Of course everybody's favorite brother-sister team, Ryan and Sharpay, gets a couple of great vehicles: "Fabulous" and the zany, Hawaiian-flavored "Humuhumunukunukuapua'a," which more than anything else sounds like a tribute to the Disney princess of the 1960s: Annette Funicello. --Elisabeth Vincentelli More High School Musical

So fun!!
This soundtrack is so fun. It's a great summer CD to have and celebrate having fun.

All types of sounds. Nothing repetitive. The best kid/teen CD around.
Having listened to endless kid/tween/teen CDs over the years, I can honestly say this one is by far the best. Each song is completely different so you don't feel like you are hearing the same song over and over again. I don't mind the Hannah Montana CDs but after a while the songs all seem to run together in my head. Maybe it's because there are several different artists singing. Every song is catchy and for the most part very upbeat so it makes drives so much more enjoyable for me and the kids.
If you are trying to choose between HSM, Hannah, Jonas Brothers, etc., I'd highly suggest picking this one!

I bought this for my niece as a birthday present and she loved it! She is in love with Zac Effron who plays Troy. She has everything HSM and I was pleased to see her so happy with her gift.
