4 out of 5 stars excellent cd.......2007-02-27

I got this cd primarily for two songs, All Star and Walking on the Sun. I tend to keep listening to my favorites, but the other songs are good too. Overall, a good CD that I will enjoy more with time.

4 out of 5 stars Quite good :-).......2006-11-10

These guys have an old sounding but at the same time new twist on music that is quite refreshing after hearing all the hip hop, rap and grunge music out there.

5 out of 5 stars Better then ever!.......2006-01-29

I've always loved Smash mouth, and this CD is the way to go for all fans. Or even if you're starting out, this is the one to get as it has several tracks on it you can't find on their other cds. such as Mystery Man and Pacific coast party. This is a good cd to get to sample all their works.

Beside's it has several of my favorite songs on it, such as Walking on the sun, When the morning comes, better do it right ( a song you can't find anywhere else except for the Grinch cd) and Waste. I'm just disappointed they didn't come out with this cd sooner before I spent money on buying soundtracks just for one single smash mouth song.

5 out of 5 stars This is a good cd .......2005-11-27

I love this cd it's pretty good my fav song is allstar

4 out of 5 stars They Are All Stars.......2005-10-01

The 1990's really brought out the waves of pure feel-good party bands. For acts like The Offspring with Pretty Fly For A White Guy, and of course Sugar Ray featuring Mark McGrath and their upbeat track Fly, they have really been the staples of the feel good pop side of music. Smash Mouth is also no acception. During their glory days, mid-90's, and the early 2000's, the group has been really the leaders with making great party songs for everybody. They started right at the top, and still haven't lost their way. Yet, while there are some who have forgotten them, the songs definitely live on.

Smash Mouth's 2005 All Star Smash Hits, is a packaged collection of their biggest tracks from their era in the top 40. The collection actually delivers very well with remastering and compiling some of their best tracks including songs for movies like Clockstoppers, Mystery Men and Shrek. While some of those films died in vein, the music for those ill-fated flicks actually outlasted as great guilty pleasures 2 to 1. The collection includes great party songs like their first big hit, Walkin' On The Sun, their biggest hit All Star, the Neil Diamond cover of I'm A Believer, the quirky Then The Morning Comes, and Pacific Coast Party. While the album delivers well, it does overlook only one song, the tropical-styled You Are My Number One which was used in ads for Chrysler a couple of years ago.

Although it is just a shame many people don't seem to remember Smash Mouth as much anymore. Nevertheless, All Star Smash Hits is absolutely a must have for anybody who loves great guilty pleasure songs. They are still walkin' on the sun.

Pack all your friends into the hatchback, hit the strip, and crank up All Star United's Smash Hits. The carefree euphoria in this music is begging to accompany a joy ride. These bouncy bubble-gum-chewing pop-rock tunes are laced with choruses that capture the dancing soul and generate an adrenaline rush that has no stop signs. Dull moments are few and far between. Clever lyrics, innovative guitar work, and song arrangements that have a dash of musical delirium create straight-up pop music with an eclectic appeal. Most bands would never get away with a compilation album as a third release, but these songs really are smashing. Check out "Beautiful Thing" or "Popular Americans" for proof. All Star United treats their faith the same way they treat their music. They have fun with it. They flaunt it like a silver-sequined suit sported among drab T-shirts and trousers. One wonders if their reference to God as a "Superstar" is more than metaphorical. This music is dripping with limelight. --Israel Button

5 out of 5 stars Smash Hits.......2001-10-21

This is my favorite CD. I had not listened to any of their music untill i bought it, but when i listened to it, it was ace. It has a great variety of music, and is a must for any christian music fan. (or anyone else)

5 out of 5 stars They Are the Popular Americans.......2001-01-28

Who is the greatest band of them all? LImp Bizkit? dc Talk? I'll tell you that without a question All Star United is the best band I have ever heard. Their catchy tunes, and fun lyrics make them a favorite to all who listen to them.

5 out of 5 stars All Star United ~ Smash Hits ~ Essential Records.......2000-11-23

Put this one on in your car and cruise the highway for an hour or two. Their record label, Essential, has decided to drop them, but first they are releasing this Best Of album. It has songs from their two albums on Essential Records, as well as one remix and two new songs. The two new songs are both about a girl, which is explained by the fact that lead singer Ian Eskelin just got married last month. As for the music, I think all five of them were on a sugar high when they wrote most of these songs. PURE ENERGY! This is pure pop/rock because it's pop in that the lyrics and guitar parts are full of hooks and the songs will stick in your head all day, but it also rocks. This band has a reputation for writing songs that are so catchy you're singing along on the chorus before the song is even finished. Throughout the disc the rest of the band sings little backup parts (Ooohs, ba-ba-ba's, whistling, other things like that) that play in your ears all day. They sound like they have Beach Boys influences, not that it sounds old or stale or formulaic, it's just that much fun. It's hard to pin down another band that's comparable enough to mention as a similar artist, but Smashmouth might be one, since they both share the too-much-fun, pop-rock feel.

4 out of 5 stars Awesome Collection of ASU.......2000-06-13

All Star United has done it again. Although it is not a release of new material, it brings the old hits back to life for another go-around in CD players. This should be good enough to hold people over until an album with new songs come out. If you like this, I suggest their self-titled first album and "International Anthems for the Human Race." God bless!
