This CD is filled with upbeat and catchy songs that will cater to people who enjoyed similar Disney soundtracks like High School Musical and Hannah Montana. The standout songs for me are We Rock, Play My Music, and This is Me, but it's so hard to choose from so many styles.
1. We Rock - 5/5 : The title song is an awesome feel good song that has a strong beat and great group vocals. It's a very catchy tune that will have you moving to the beat. A+
2. Play My Music - 5/5 : Great song by the Jonas Brothers. It has a steady beat, good singing, and an uplifting tone. Fantastic overall.
3. Gotta Find You - 4/5 : A slow and sweet song about trying to find an unknown singer. I like it, but it's not as memorable as the other outstanding songs.
4. Start the Party - 5/5 : A very techno-like song with a strong background instrumentals. This reminds me of Corbin Bleu's style because it has a quick tempo and talks about getting up and moving. A
5. Who will I be - 4.5/5 : A song by Demi Lovato about choosing your own destiny in life. The message is great, but somehow the song doesn't particularly stand out. A-
6. This is me - 5/5 : A fantastic song about being true to yourself and standing proud. This song shows Demi's talent and is one of the best songs on the album.
7. Hasta la vista - 1/5 : Not my style. The notes, the chorus, and the style just don't match. I think it tries too hard with trying to blend hip hop with pop and ends up falling short.
8. Here I am - 3/5 : A slower song about getting back up when you're knocked down. The beat, the lyrics, and the chorus are all pretty generic and forgettable. Mediocre song.
9. Too Cool - 5/5 : A very upbeat and catchy song that works on many levels. It reminds me of the Hannah Montana style with quick and upbeat lyrics accompanied by a strong beat and a variety of instruments. This was the surprise hit of the album for me.
10. Our Time is Here - 3/5 : This song attempts to give a strong sense of accomplishment and victory, but it doesn't quite make it for me. It feels a little bland.
11. 2 Stars - 4.5/5 : A song that's similar to Too Cool. It doesn't have quite the same punch, but it has a unique sound to it that is very enjoyable.
12. What it takes - 4/5 : Another hip-hop/pop crossover that works a lot better than Hasta la Vista. The chorus is a little weak, but the song overall is not bad.
Camp Rock is going to be a very successful show and this soundtrack proves that it has what it takes to match High School Musical. I can't wait to see the show because the songs will probably make more sense in the context of the story, but until then, get this and Rock On!!!
