Album Description
Soundtrack for a movie from the Executive Producers of High School Musical. A musical romantic comedy set at a mall and focused on the relationship between two young musicians and their respective personal and professional struggles. The American Mall is the story of Ally, a hardworking young woman whose mother owns a music shop that is the soul of the mall. Ally's singer/songwriter ambitions seem to come closer to fruition when she meets Joey, a musician who's moonlighting as a janitor in order to support his own rock star dreams. While Joey understands her songs (and heart) like no one else, Ally's happiness and the fate of the store are threatened when the mall owner's spoiled daughter Madison - who will stop at nothing to get what she wants - gets involved.

 Strong top-to-bottom; play it LOUD September 5, 2008
Rick Dickson (Wheaton, IL, USA)
Unlike "High School Musical" where the music's purpose provide background for choreography, "The American Mall" soundtrack is about the music itself and its support of the story. As such, the TAM soundtrack is stronger top-to-bottom, and is much easier to take over repeated listenings. It has a more natural sound thanks to some very welcome restraint on the use of pitch correction and synthesized harmonies. Moreover, better songs, better vocal performances, and a slew of up-tempo numbers make this a disc you'll want to play loud and often.

*Note: This was originally written as a review on iTunes, where the overwhelmingly large number of 5-star reviews were just too much to sit idly by.*
Yes, I am 21, but High School Musical (and especially it's successor) was a movie with a lot of heart, with a soundtrack full of catchy replayable tunes. They say this is for the "older" crowed, that HSM is too "tween" and that TAM is edgier and more mature - well that ain't true. Unlike High School Musical's, these songs are empty and hollow, the most generic music I've heard in a very long while. I didn't think vocals could get worse than Hudgens' (who actually improved on the second soundtrack) but Nina Dobrev's - and the rest of the cast for that matter - is nothing but horrid, synthesized drivel. And there's no one with anywhere close to the vocal prowess of Lucas Grabeel on this album anywhere. It's a shame the only one with apparent true vocal talent, Neil Haskell, only got 3 stanzas of solo music in the entire score.
Comparing "Work It Out" to "At The Mall" (whose lyrics go something like "at the mall, ooooh at the mall") or "Gotta Go My Own Way" to "A Little Bit of Heart Somewhere" (hey sugar hey sugar hey, don't care what you say...") seems like no contest. Yet there's hundreds of people who attest that this is better than High School Musical. Everyone has their own opinions and prefrences, but when something so blatantly bland and horrible is said to be better than something with a lot of heart, I get pretty darn confused. Are we reviewing the same thing here?
