Never in my life have I heard a parent forbid their child from listening to ‘MMMBop’ because of its lyrical content. I don't know about you, but I was led to believe that Kidz Bop was manufactured so that protective parents could regulate what their children listen to. Really think about it for a minute, ponder it, savor it like your favorite scent. I have but one question to ask: Did anyone need a Kidz Bop version of ‘MMMBop?’ But there’s one song here that made me realize something about this particular volume of Kidz Bop. Now, looking at the tracklist, you might say Matchbox Twenty or Third Eye Blind would’ve gotten the short end of the stick, in terms of "decent" artists getting butchered on this album. Leaving all that behind, there was in fact (if you can believe it) a reason I was compelled to review this in the first place. Sugar Ray’s ‘Fly,’ Lenny Kravitz’s ‘Fly Away’) were somehow made even worse.

Sixpence None the Richer’s ‘Kiss Me,’ a song I actually tolerate, could not escape the clutches of the KIDZ BOP Kids. Every track is more mind-numbing than the last, each one finding new ways to disappoint me. I'll finish off this discussion by saying that what I’ve discovered listening to this album is that there is no light at the end of the tunnel no sweet release of death. I could go into detail describing every song, painstakingly trying to articulate why it just doesn't work, but that wouldn't make for a very interesting read. I think I heard one on their cover of Backstreet Boys's 'I Want It That Way,' but I guess the session musician found his self-respect catching the bus and wanted to go catch it before it left for good this time. And I'm not certain there are real guitars on this album. I can only tolerate midi drum presets for so long until I just want to tune out. Every song on this volume of Kidz Bop is produced with the delicate hand of someone trying to fold wet cardboard. You deserve more credit than I could've ever imagined. Speaking of the terrible production, I would like to formally apologize to every sound engineer on planet Earth.

If anything, this version made me like the original song more, which says something about the quality of music we're dealing with here. After trudging through that mess, you’re then blasted with a cover of ‘Oops!.I Did It Again’ by Britney Spears, one that's even more grating than the last, complete with terrible production, horrid vocals, and some really jarring dialogue thrown in. The album begins with an obvious choice, one familiar to anyone who was listening to the radio in Mid-2001: Smash Mouth’s ‘All Star’, a choice that immediately lets you know the next hour will be magical. No, the original Kidz Bop was alone in its release that year a single stone that would be the foundation to an empire. Why the KIDZ BOP Kids haven’t organized some sort of walkout or demonstration against this sort of abuse is beyond me. In 2015 alone, 4 numbered volumes of Kidz Bop were produced.

For about 15 years, ‘Razor & Tie Entertainment’ (the home of bands like Attila, Sworn In, and the Wiggles) have put volumes upon volumes of Kidz Bop out at record pace. One listen to it is all you need to know about it: covers of (more often than not) terrible pop songs sung by children. Kidz Bop is one of those products that no one seems to care about.
