Well, you know what you're gonna get if you buy the first soundtrack to Girls Gone Wild. You're gonna get songs that are strip-club anthems and frat-party favorites in the first half of the 2000s -- songs like Andrew W.K.'s "Party Hard," J-Kwon's "Tipsy," Petey Pablo's "Freek-A-Leek," Eamon's "F*** It (I Don't Want You Back)," and Kelis' "Milkshake."

Well, you know what you're gonna get if you buy the first soundtrack to Girls Gone Wild. You're gonna get songs that are strip-club anthems and frat-party favorites in the first half of the 2000s -- songs like Andrew W.K.'s "Party Hard," J-Kwon's "Tipsy," Petey Pablo's "Freek-A-Leek," Eamon's "F*** It (I Don't Want You Back)," and Kelis' "Milkshake." Since it's released on BMG's Jive/Zomba label, it shouldn't come as a surprise that over half of the 17 songs here are from Jive recording artists, either. It also shouldn't be a surprise that this collection of party-hearty rap and rock keeps the party going, even through songs that have nothing to recommend them outside of the groove. What does come as a surprise is that right in the middle of all these contemporary hits is Ini Kamoze's early-'90s flash-in-the-pan "Here Comes the Hotstepper" (albeit in a different mix). Seems a little strange, but that's the only strange thing about this party-ready album. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, Rovi
