"I got it today, and after listening to it, I'd have to say I have mixed feelings. The songs are pretty good, not disappointed there. It's too short though! It's only 34 minutes long! It says it's an Enhanced CD. Don't be fooled though. The only "enhanced" material is a link to jump5.com. So much for videos and the like.Here's the rundown, all scores out of 5:
+ Song variety: 5 - Good songs. I like the cover of "Walking on Sunshine". They range from fast and upbeat (Do Ya), to the slower songs (Every Part of Me) that Jump5 has always nailed in the past (Angel In My Heart from All The Time In The World). No remixes that Jump5 has been infamous for in the past.+ Song musical value: 4 - Could use some more male vocals, although the ladies have pretty much lead Jump5 vocally on previous CD's. Accelerate is no different.+ CD Length: 1 - Only 34 Minutes for the whole CD. Very Disappointing.+ "Extra" content: 0 - A link to jump5.com...that's it.Despite of the short length and lack of enhanced features, Jump5 delivers a solid performace with this CD. All Jump5 fans should "accelerate" to the store and get this CD."

"This is tottaly the best cd i own! I love all these songs. The only bad thing about this cd is that there are 10 tracks. This is so good, I mean GOOD!
1.Do Ya- 5/5This song is great! The perfect track for the cd
2.We Are family-90/5. OH MY GOD. What a difference from the main version. When i let my friend listen to it, her brother went ballistic
3.Wonderful-5/5 Great. Their first slow song on this cd. Makes you feel good about yourself, and actully a good sleeping song
4. Pressure: Wow! This mmakes you love it! The only part i do not like on this cd is when chris sings and there is no music exept beat. The choras is great!
5. Why Do I Do- Jump5 are Christain singers, and they have god and jesus oin their songs, but that is good. They are telling how god gave them everything they needed and more than they needed in the first place
6. Way Of The World: Great! This song does not match any thing because it is not like a regular song but they say that its the way of the world
7. Walking On Sunshine- Great! I liked the version before and when i heard this one i went ballistac
8. Every Part Of Me- This song, another with the song after this one, was made by one of the Jump5 members, Brandon. He and Brittany are Brother and Sister. They look alot alike, But Brittany dies her hair ALOT! Back to the song, This is great. Brandon should make his own cd because his lyrics are so powerful, even if there might not be alot of songs(he made 2 of the songs on this cd, that would be fine with me if he only had 2 songs)
All Because Of You-Aher song by the great brandon. This might be my least favorite. When i hear this song i just try to mumble to sing but the words kinda don't fit me, but try this song, its pretty good, and when they sing it, its better!
Shining Star- This song is on the Lizzie Miguire Movie soundtrack, which i own. This song is great to dance to. When i borrowed the Austin Powers soundtrack from the library, there was the origanal song of shining star. When i listened to it was tottaly different. Another great copy from Jump5.
This is a great cd. I will tell you, Grownups and kids will love this cd. For everybody who likes pop or even soft rock. This is a great cd to the collection. Jump5 tottaly earns a five, and even more than that. Everybody has a great voice, and i reccomend that Every person in Jump5(Chris, Brittany, Leslie, Libby, And Brandon)will go solo 1 day. Check out the other jump5 cds!"
Jump5-C'mon And Listen!

Jump5 - A Group for All Ages

"I have been a fan of Jump5 for quite a while. It all started with Jump5's debut hit of their self-titled cd "Jump5." Then came "All the Time in the World," which began to show a growth in spirit and maturity. In Christmas of 2002, Jump5 released their cd, "All the Joy in the World," which consists of upbeat renditions of contemporary songs, such as "Joy to the World" and "Santa Claus is Coming to Town." Finally, in 2003 Jump5 has released their newest, and by far, more mature, cd, "Accelerate." This title is aptly named, as it shows acceleration in spiritual growth, in their self esteem, in maturity, and in their strong faith. As a cd, I rate this with the greatest rating, 5. As a group I commend them on their ecstatic attitudes and their steadfast meaning behind their songs, and would gladly give them the highest rating possible."
