Product Description
From Amazon.com
The much-anticipated follow-up to their classic The Simpsons Sing the Blues and Songs in the Key of Springfield, The Yellow Album brings Bart, Lisa, Maggie, Marge, and Homer Simpson to a whole 'nother level of the game. Accompanied by a diverse selection of backup musicians (including George Clinton and the P-Funk All-Stars), the Simpsons take aim at a number of genres, from Bart's affection for rap ("Love?" and "The Ten Commandments of Bart"), Lisa's AOR duet with Ann and Nancy Wilson of Heart for the Eurythmics cover "Sisters Are Doin' It for Themselves" to Homer's sensitive cover of Willie Nelson's "Funny How Time Slips Away" with Linda Ronstadt. Homer's range is limited. Bart's diction is spotty. But Apu (the Kwik-E-Mart proprietor) and the Squishees are the big surprise. Their cut, "Twenty-Four Hours a Day," is an embittered piece of working-class electro-funk that rivals the best in modern protest music (Springsteen, eat your heart out.) --Rob O'Connor

A Nice Frisbee but Terrible Music Wise
Oct 12 2003
Format:Audio CD
Like the Simpson's Sing the Blues this album has one good song and the rest very terrible fillers. Hail to Thee Kamp Krusty is pretty good as it has a fair number of characters singing in it. Twenty Four Hours a Day sung by Apu is about working in the Quikie Mart and is all right but a bit too long. The rest however are just plain terrible when you consider there has been some pretty good songs on the actual show sung by the characters. I love the TV show. The creators and writers on the Simpson's write hilarious stuff every episode. This is obviously just a release to make money album as they have put no effort into it whatsoever. Very disapointing. Don't waste your money.
This ROCKS!!!

Format:Audio CD
All the people who thought this CD was a waste of money are sooo wrong. this CD rocked. The only thing I don't like is in "Anyone Else" Bart says "I need a playmate" Since when does he say that? And he sounds squeky. but great song. Overall, if your a Simpsons fan BUY THIS CD. also buy the other 3 CDs BYE!
I'd Rather Have A Doughnut And Some Duff Beer
Jun 19 2003
Format:Audio CD
The Yellow Album followed on the heels of the other albums that feature The Simpsons entitled, The Simpsons Sing The Blues, and Songs In The Key Of Springfield. I found those releases to be very clever and well produced.
I have to say though, this mix, didn't quite have the same magic of their first two albums, or Go Simphonic. I guess I was just expecting the music to be yet another collection of tunes from the television series. While some of it sounded good, like Lisa singing "Sister's Are Doin'It For Themselves", with Nancy and Ann Wilson from Heart. By contrast for example, Bart's rap for "Love", seems very out of character for him The CD covers a wide range of musical tastes, to be sure, the problem is that I think they should have settled on one genre, as the blues album demonstrated.
All in all, the CD could have been so much better, Simpsons fans like me, may be disappointed. I was. The CD has 10 tracks and a running time of 46:41.

Hey Amazon, add a negative stars category for this!
On the TV show, there were so many good songs introduced between "Songs in the Key of Springfield" and this crappy "Yellow" album. Read more
