 fantastic CD July 6, 2008
L. O'shea (Virginia USA)
This is a great CD, you know the words to all the songs yet they have that little bit of uniqueness about the artist singing it.
Great Modern Sound for Old Classics! June 23, 2008
D. Aguirre (California)
This is a modern and upbeat remake of some old great Carpenters classics. Even if you never heard the Carpenters music, you can still appreciate the sound; and if you are a Carpenters fan then you are in for a real treat. Sonic Youth, Sheryl Crow, 4 Non-Blondes...are just a few of the great artists you can find. Check out the tracks "Top of The World" and "Bless the Beast and the Children". What I really like the most is that this CD is one of the very few that I can enjoy with my 53 year old mom driving with me in my car. For me the songs are hip and have a great rock/alternative sound while staying true to the original versions and yet for someone my mom's age, she enjoys the new sounds of old classics that bring back memories for her as well. Overall, this CD is a great mix bag of some notable 90's artists covering the Carpenters classics.

Kevin L. Van Hees (miami, fl)
I have been fortunate enough to have owned this wonderful recording since it was released many years ago. I wanted to share this great music with friends and was very pleased to find it on AMAZON. These are timeless songs that one can really relate to concerning LOVE's ups-n-downs. Open your heart and sing your favorites. Every SHA LA LA LA, every song is inspiring...SOOOO FINE..
 Buy this cd for one reason SONIC YOUTH February 29, 2008
Choosey Mom (Richmond, VA USA)
i have had this cd forever! the only 2 songs worth anything are the cranberries and the sonic youth cover.the Superstar cover is magic! i have since found the cd again and put on the old sony headphones and rediscovered this track, listen to it and discover what this band has done! i truely believe this song should have won a gramy or something, the layers of sound are amazing! i give the carpenters credit for writing great songs and i give sonic youth high grades for turning a great song into a masterpiece of emotion and sound!
Awesome Twist on the Carpenters! February 11, 2008
B. Matthias (Kutztown, PA, USA)
This album has been one of my favorites for years. The interpretations are unique, yet familiar to the ear, and are very enjoyable! Only one or two "stinkers", but I give it 5 Stars for the strong remainder!
Whether you're already familiar with the Carpenters or just starting to check out their work, this is a great alternative tribute!
