ALBUM REVIEW:
To
tell the truth, I am quite sick of animated figures staring
at the audience and giving us the all-knowing look, like we
are all privy to some insider joke or the like. I put the
blame for this kiddy-adult semi-mature animation trend squarely
on Shrek’s shoulder, and there is no shirking from responsibility
this time for the ogre.
So how do you up the animaturation stakes and differentiate
yourself from the goofy cousins? You get beautiful and quirky
people like Shia Labeouf, Zooey Deschanels and Jon Heder to
voice the cuties. Never mind the fact that I would rather
see them act in person. Oh, another thing, do the same for
your soundtrack as well.
I never expect to hear Incubus’ Drive in a movie soundtrack
after all this while, much less from an animation involving
surfing penguins and a rooster. Featuring all-new tracks from
solid but almost-forgotten acts like Lauryn Hill, Sugar Ray,
New Radicals, Ken Andrews and Pearl Jam, Surf’s Up is
a compilation you can actually buy because of the artistes
involved and nothing to do with the capering birds.
ALBUM RATING:
Recommended Track: (8) “Into Yesterday” –
Sugar Ray
