AMG Review of Jersey Shore Soundtrack

All Music Guide

MTV’s deliberately low-rent replacement for The Hills celebrates its tackiness, so why should its soundtrack be any different? Released just before the start of the show’s second season, Jersey Shore Soundtrack pumps out neon club beats at a relentless pace, moving so fast that it’s possible to not notice how it begins with Enrique Iglesias and ends with the show’s DJ Pauly D. Unlike the TV show, it’s impossible to experience this music as a voyeur: you have to give in to its never-ending party.
