 One of the best WWE soundtracks in a long, long time! August 2, 2010

For a MP3 download exclusive, this is certainly worth the money for iTunes users. The Legacy, Dolph Ziggler, Miz, Christian, Bret Hart, Sheamus, Evan Bourne and Hart Dynasty are essential masterpieces that you'll stick on a loop. All other songs are decent enough for inclusion. Overall, a high-quality album that symbolizes a return to form that the earlier WWF albums gave us.
 Shame you can't download individual tracks... June 5, 2010

As I said in the title, in my opinion, it's a shame you can't download individual tracks, because this has some right crackers mixed in some proper duds. Saying that, if you're a hardcore WWE fan and MUST have EVERY theme song, you're in for a treat. It's also good if you want a new track in perfect quality to be uploaded on to your console to use in Smackdown vs Raw 2010 to update a superstar's entrance ie The Miz and Evan Bourne.
Hands down, the best track for me is 'I Came To Play' (The Miz). A brilliant track and up there with 'Voices' (Randy Orton) as one of the best modern WWE entrance themes. 'Domination' (Ezekiel Jackson) comes in second. The song has three stages, and is really a *ahem* 'thumping tune'. These two songs aside, most of the other tracks WWE volume 10 are a mixed bag of average, forgettable entrance themes.
Return Of The Hitman (Bret Hart) Radio (Zack Ryder) and Just Close Your Eyes (Christian) are also pretty good, but get stale after a few listens. For the record, I prefer the original versions of Christian's theme by Waterproof Blonde. Bret Hart's new update version is not as as good as the original Hart Foundation theme or the theme he started using in 1994.
Written In My Face (Sheamus) is alright, but it's far from excellent. 'Insatiable' (Tiffany) and 'You Can Look, But You Can't Touch' (The Bella Twins) are passable in their own right. More often than not on WWE CDs, Diva themes stand out like candy canes in a cactus patch.
'It's A New Day' (Legacy) and 'I Am Perfection' (Dolph Ziggler) sound like they've been knocked together on a rainy afternoon. Both bland with poor lyrics.
As for the pure rubbish? 'Pure Puerto Rico' (Primo) is highly irritating, the worst track on the album. 'New Foundation' (The Hart Dynasty) sounds like a drunken tramp falling in to a load of dustbins. 'Crank The Walls Down' (The Big Show and Chris Jericho) is so bad it's hilarious (On a side note, the prospect of a pairing of Show and Jericho is as stale as 200 year old bread).
Also, where is 'Broken Dreams' (Drew McIntyre)? That would of come in a straight third if it was included on the album.
So there's my review.
MUSIC VOLUME 10 March 4, 2010
Mr. K. Watts (UK)
Great album, there's some really good tracks on here and classic entrance themes. The only bad track insatiable (Tiffany). Apart from that well worth the buy. If your a WWE fan, GET IT !!!! :)
WWE the music, vol 10 March 3, 2010
Xubbi the squeeky rat (Sutton, Surrey, UK)
Downloaded for my son; I have it on good authority that it's 'really' good and gets a 10/10. All new music.
Rich in high-quality! Hail the new blood! February 7, 2010

So, we're back to the exclusive `download only' format for WWE Soundtracks, are we? In the past, I'd thought it a daft venture when they released Volume 7 exclusively on iTunes. It limited the marketing on that album and the fact that it didn't have that great a list of songs made it rather weak overall.
This time round, however...I welcome the notion of making Volume 10: A New Day download only for three reasons. One: downloads have really become popular and successful in the music industry. Two: I REALLY love playing music on my iPod. And three: making the album exclusive to Amazon this time makes it more accessible and appealing, thanks to the improved promotion.
"A New Day" is a fitting sub-title for WWE The Music: Volume 10. WWE has really gone into overdrive these days with pushing and creating new stars for the business. And that theme has been carried forward onto this album, the majority of themes belonging to wrestlers/characters who have really broken out and become forces to be reckoned with. Meaning that Volume 10 is just so fresh to listen to. And it is also the best soundtrack album that WWE has put together in a LONG time.
Naturally, master composer and WWE's own Jim Johnston is on hand with his magic, but his collaboration with other artists REALLY does help make this collection outstanding. Yes, Johnston has worked with outside musicians in previous albums but the joint-effort here for the songs has had SUCH an impact on me, in a way no other collection has (e.g. Forceable Entry, Wreckless Intent, Volumes 6 and 9).
Of the fourteen tracks, the first SIX are simply perfect pieces that truly merit playing again and again. They all reflect the characters perfectly and are rollickingly good. Legacy's new theme "It's A New Day", Dolph Ziggler's "I Am Perfection", and The Miz's new "I Came To Play" can all equally be considered masterpieces, and the same can certainly be said for WWE Champion Sheamus' "Written In My Face". With the return of ECW Champion Christian and the legendary Bret "Hitman" Hart to the company, we have brand new versions of their old themes. Christian's old "Just Close Your Eyes" is done by Story Of The Year this time and packs more energy and soul into it than the original by Waterproof Blonde. "Return The Hitman" is the only track here that Jim Johnston has composed by himself and he's really put together an excellent modern version of Bret's classic "Hitman" theme. It's a faithful recreation of a timeless entrance theme and captures the spirit, heroism and joy of Bret's return to the company.
As for the rest of the album, there's hardly a bad thing to say. They range from `very good' to `excellent'. Evan Bourne's "Born To Win" and the Hart Dynasty's "New Foundation" are absolutely terrific. Tiffany's "Insatiable", The Bella Twins' "You Can Look - But You Can't Touch", Zack Ryder's "Radio", Primo's "Oh Puerto Rico" and Big Show/Chris Jericho's "Crank The Walls Down" are all good enough to earn their place. Even Ezekiel Jackson's "Domination" merits good listening, despite it being essentially the old "Brawl For All" theme with Evan Jones' vocals.
Now...how did I find purchasing the downloads? I found it simple and much more smoother and quicker than even iTunes, thanks to Amazon's free MP3 Downloader. And the overall sound quality of the downloads was just so clean and crisp. Making this all the more of a recommended purchase.
Again, WWE The Music Volume 10: A New Day is just so fresh. After previous albums having the themes of John Cena, Batista, Randy Orton, Undertaker etc released again and again, it makes for a great change to have WWE getting behind new faces (mostly). The fact that the songs here are either classic, excellent or very good is a positive boon. I would definitely call Volume 10 essential, for fans and rock lovers alike.
