"There is a phenomenon known as the "Pod Person" review. This is when an adult is so impressed with a movie, book or CD that is ostensibly intended for children that they start trying to sell other ADULTS on it as well.
For example, when the movie TOY STORY came out, every adult I knew would ask if I had seen it. "Oh, you HAVE to," the Pod Person would exclaim, "it's not just for kids!" As you can imagine, this is mildly annoying.
I swore never to be a Pod Person, and if it wasn't for Justin Roberts, I would keep that promise. But after listening to this bright, breezy, funny, infinitely catchy and wonderfully crafted album, I want to encourage every adult I know to give it a spin. MELTDOWN is just darned good pop music. It'll have you and the kids singing along and laughing.
Tell a friend."

"I highly recommend this CD! It is a true example of music that BOTH kids and adults can love. Justin Roberts has a real instinct for children's concerns (e.g. "maybe the monster's afraid of me") but the music is so fun, funny and rockin' that I enjoy listening to it again and again. It's a relief to get away from Old MacDonald!"
Avoid a meltdown with this CD!

"Justin Roberts has a very keen sense about how kids think, and is able to translate that knowledge into catchy pop music for children that won't make you want to gouge your ears out.
In fact, it made me want to listen to all his other CDs right away. If he knows that when I say "just a minute, it means more than just a minute", what other little secrets of parents or kids might he be onto?! I might get some tips on the preschooler psyche from him! But even if I don't, I'm sure to have a rockin' good time with my kids."
Justin Roberts Rocks!

"My kids and I (3 and 4)absolutely love his music. I know all the words to all the albums by heart. My son rides the school bus and currently loves "Yellow Bus" from same titled album. I would love to take the kids to see Justin perform. All his songs from upbeat to mellow are just great. I even listen to the songs without the kids in the car."
Really fun

"I like this CD alot- not quite as much as I hoped I would after being inspired to buy by his song on the Putamayo Folk Playground CD- which we loved. But still, it's a great kids CD and is in heavy rotation at our house."
