Editorial Reviews

One of the more diverse and stylistically balanced Now compilations of the last few years, the 28th volume, released roughly three months after the 27th, features major and marginal hits that technically date back as far as 2005 (Flyleaf's "All Around Me," which obviously took some time to take off) and in some cases reflect the upper reaches of the Billboard Hot 100 the day the disc was released: Lil Wayne's "Lollipop," Leona Lewis' "Bleeding Love," Natasha Bedingfield's "Pocketful of Sunshine," and Jordin Sparks and Chris Brown's "No Air" were still riding high, while Metro Station's horrid new wave retreat "Shake It" and Colbie Caillat's wispy "Realize" were still in the ascent. And while it went to the top of the dance chart, Britney Spears' "Break the Ice" is the token oddball pick, given that it didn't break the Top 60 of the Hot 100. Andy Kellman, All Music Guide

Very consistent compilation, balance and solid music flow!by Anonymous

July 13, 2008: I heard the Now 28 CD listening to parts of it for 2 days on the week of its release. Today &amp quot several weeks later&amp quot , I listened to all 20 songs nonstop for 72 minutes with no interruptions. This has to be one of their best compilations since Now 5, Now 10 or Now 15! There is such a consistent flow and sequence. Leona Lewis weaving into Britney Spears Break the Ice is rare. From how the two Chris Brown songs are balanced into the mix. And a rarity with two Howard Benson-produced songs for Daughtry and Gavin Degraw back to back! And I'm pleased that Jordin Sparks is on a second consecutive Now compilation with her Chris Brown duet!There are some suprises such as Flyleaf's All Around Me and Lifehouse's superb Whatever It Takes. And Colbie Caillet's Realize. Fall Out Boy's surprisingly good remake of Michael Jackson's Beat It! Metro Station's Shake It is fun, very '80s sounding. Lil' Wayne's Lollipop is a little explicit, but it's a smartly done hip-hop song, very smooth landscapes. And I didn't like Ray J/Young Berg's song Sexy Can I at first, but I like it now after several listens. For the first time, the Now handlers made a collection that's not disjointed or uneven. There's a consistent pace back to back. And while there are a few that are from 2005 or 2006, they balance quite well to the 2008 and 2007 songs that dominate this collection. A good sampler of what pop music sounds like in 2008. These are some very creative songs. Lastly, it came out just in time for the summer--it's the right soundtrack to play on long road trips or outdoor moments!

Best mix yet???by Anonymous

June 16, 2008: I am a DJ at a bar where variety is key unlike a club per se where you deal in mainly one genera. That being said I think this is one of their best mixes of any Now that I have bought. The only reason why I wouldn't give it 5 stars is because I'd like to see some unedited versions but I know these are mainly marketed at juveniles.
