three generations surpassed the music of the APO Hiking Society. and its just timely that this generation could make a good tribute album for the trio that gave the music industry the classics that even us wouldn't say "baduy". this album made me look for my dad's apo albums then listened to it for almost a month now. and i said to myself... its time to compare. hehehe.
BATANG BATA KA PA (sugarfree) - this has been the best cover in the album (for me, of course). what complain would you get with ebe dancel's voice? they maintained the song's emotion and yet... it still sounded as sugarfree's own.
KABILUGAN NG BUWAN (drip) - one of the most relaxing songs in this compilation. as if ur really feeling the fullness of the moon. they gave good justice to one of apo's best songs.
EWAN (imago) - its just timely that imago did this song with a touch of funk, and people may think who sang the song but you gotta hear their new album and its self explanatory. fun to hear especially if youre having the teenage love flu.
DOO BIDOO (kamikazee) - i love this cover. it makes everybody sing the song and retain it til the next day. with kamikazee's energy... i would say, nice choice. hehehe
KUMOT AT UNAN (boldstar) - they still sounded boldstar. and goddamn.. i miss this band. when i first saw the album and saw boldstar in it... ive never doubted that this will be worth buying.
AWIT NG BARKADA (itchyworms) - the modern APO hiking society. the band's voicing re-lived the song. at first i thought this will be the all-star track (like in ultraelectromagneticjam's para sa masa) but they gave a really good sound with this one.
PANALANGIN (moonstar 88) - really lovely. though i still dont know the name of their new front(wo)man, it gave me the curiosity on the new moonstar setup. she sounded like juris though.
BLUE JEANS (rocksteddy) - nice version. they actually gave this song a more student sound... the modern, generation x students. or y. i dunno.
BAKIT ANG BABAE (sandwich) - i just feel weird that there's something missing in this song. maybe sandwich's energy. i got too much of "sugod" and "sunburn" and i cant get over it.
WHEN I MET YOU (barbie almalbis) - ♥♥♥♥♥. thank god it felt love. barbie's good with these kind of songs.
PAG-IBIG (kitchie nadal) - and kitchie without her yodelling. one of the songs in this album i kept on singing. thank god she saved it from andrew e.
ANNA (top suzara) - eh. we all know that top's going rock. i just didnt get him on this song.
NAKAPAGTATAKA (sponge cola) - ive heard a lot of version of this song already. my neighbor's, my friend's neighbor and some drunk person inside a videoke bar. too bad sponge cola didnt make a good one on this.
YAKAP SA DILIM (orange n' lemons) - weirdly... they made it sound older. but at least its how they REALLY sound and maintained the emotion plus the "swabe" sound of macoy's vocals. still loved it. :)
PAANO (shamrock) - uh... do they really have a distinct sound? no point of comparison. of course they did the cover but... well everybody could right?
DI NA NATUTO (sound) - cool. if drip and sound will play in one gig... ill be bringing my pillow and hammock and ill bet id fall asleep. soundly. and this is a compliment since im an insomniac. serene is the word.
BAWAT BATA (the dawn) - uhm... uh... i dunno. honestly... i hated the first part. the OH WOOHOHOOHOOH part. well i think its also time to do a tribute for the dawn. um.. no.. i dont like this version at all. it couldve been more kiddie. just the wrong song i guess.
PUMAPATAK ANG ULAN (parokya ni edgar) - not enough. it lacked of their own sound. parokya as compared to kamikazee... well ull get my entire point.
but all in all... the album is REALLY worth buying. gathering all the best artists (um.. almost.. not entirely) to remake the best songs that our parents went nostalgic to. and its time for us to rekindle on some sincere words and sway to some new sound with classics that every filipino could relate with.
