Shampoo: Complete Shampoo, 3CD/1DVD Box Set Review
5th August 2024British pop-punk band Shampoo has just unleashed the mother of all nostalgia trips with their “Complete Shampoo, 3CD/1DVD Box Set.” It’s like a time machine back to the 90s but without the questionable fashion choices. This monster collection brings together their chart-topping hits, deep cuts, and live shenanigans into one knockout punch, complete with a DVD stuffed with goodies to satisfy your pop-punk cravings.
Prepare to be visually assaulted (in a good way) by this eye-popping, vibrant box that screams 90s nostalgia louder than a dial-up internet connection. Inside, the CDs and DVDs are nestled in cases that are sturdier than your grandpa’s old recliner, and there’s a booklet with enough band photos and behind-the-scenes gossip to start a rumor mill.
CD1:We Are Shampoo This bad boy debut is packed with bangers like “Trouble,” “Viva La Megababes,” and “Delicious.” The remastered sound quality is like a spa day for your ears, bringing back the raw energy and catchy hooks that made Shampoo the cool kids in the pop-punk club.
CD CD 2: ‘Girl Power’ is Shampoo’s 2nd album. Now expanded with a few rare tracks “Warpaint” and “Yea, Yeah, Yeah (Tell Me Baby),” showing off the band’s versatility and songwriting prowess beyond their mainstream hits. It’s like rummaging through a pop-punk thrift store, but without the mothballs.CD3:Absolute Shampoo , It’s as if they have time-traveled from the ’90s to rock our socks off. This album is packed with catchy hooks, lyrics that challenge authority, and enough energy to power a small city. It’s like the ’90s pop-punk scene got a makeover and a caffeine boost. I feel like I should be dusting off my old JNCO jeans and flipping my hair because this album is a riot!”
The DVD is a goldmine. The music videos are a visual feast of color and quirk and the footage of Shampoo At Home will have you crying with laughter.
The “Complete Shampoo, 3CD/1DVD Box Set” is a pop-punk girl power party in a box, celebrating the wild ride of Shampoo’s legacy.
