One of the greatest ironies surrounding This Is Spinal Tap is that it's actually better than many of the recordings it parodies. Songs like "Tonight I'm Gonna Rock You Tonight," "Hell Hole," "Heavy Duty," and even "Stonehenge" are fun, '80s-style rockers that any closet hair-band fan will enjoy, and "Sex Farm" and "Big Bottom" are hilarious, especially to those same closet fans. There's also the hippie-drippy "Listen to the Flower People" (even funnier if you've seen Rob Reiner's film of the same title), although Michael McKean and Christopher Guest singing "Cry, Cry, Cry All the Way Home" is sadly absent. The CD does lose some of its entertainment value if you haven't seen the film, but its mix of comedy and unabashed pop metal makes it the perfect party album. --Genevieve Williams

If you've seen the movie This is Spinal Tap, and you are a rock fan, you owe it to yourself to buy this soundtrack. It's good to hear the songs in their full versions, especially the wonderful "Stonehenge," which speaks of a place where "a man is a man, and the children dance to the pipes of Pan." I am disappointed, however, that Nigel's Mozart- and Bach-influenced "Moch" piece in D-minor, "Lick My Love Pump," was not included. However, it does feature a song, "America," that's not featured in the movie. And perhaps the compilers should have put the songs in chronological order, so we hear "Give Me Some Money" and "Listen to the Flower People" before we get to "Stonehenge." "Chistmas with the Devil" is a bonus track not included in the film. Perhaps for the better. The best thing about it is the title.
