SOUNDTRACK REVIEW:

Admit it - you were impressed when you first saw the movie trailer for the worldwide phenomenon that is High School Musical, especially when Gabriella (Vanessa Hudgens) stood up to sing lovingly: “You can do it/ Just know that I believe” in the crowded spectator stand. And that is when you know you have to own the soundtrack album for this musical experience of a generation.

The 10 songs written for this third movie are evidently bigger, better, catchier and are obvious opportunities for elaborate dance choreography and impressive set designs.

The 51 minute soundtrack opens with the energetic “Now Or Never” which is performed during the movie’s opening sequence where everyone’s favourite high school jock Troy plays an important basketball match and gets support from his teammates, his schoolmates and his soul mate Gabriella. Other high octane tunes include “I Want It All” (a Broadway style cue for Sharpay and Ryan to showcase their stage flair) and “The Boys Are Back” (a nifty song for Troy and Chad to execute some killer moves in the car junkyard).

You may think that this album is a money milking machine target at kids between 6 and 16. But upon listening to the well produced and brightly dazzling music, there’s something to take away, whether you are 26 or 36. The music extravaganza “A Night To Remember” brings back fond memories of the graduation prom, while the saccharine sweet ballad “Just Wanna Be With You” is an ode to that puppy crush you had years ago.

After “Bet On It” in the last soundtrack, Troy continues his angst in “Scream”, and Grabriella has her own unofficial sequel tune “Walk Away” after “Gotta Go My Own Way”. The soundtrack ends on an affecting note with “High School Musical”, a tune which will have fans and converts missing the East High School gang.

The 2 disc premiere edition also includes a DVD which brings you behind the scenes of the movie with a generous 38 minute documentary. Follow the gang as they rehearse dance moves and talk about being part of this picture. Yes, this movie is not just a movie anymore. To be part of this cultural phenomenon, go get this soundtrack album – now.
