House of Pain Album: “Jump Around [Import CD Single]”

These remixes are horrendous. I don't know what Jason Nevins was thinking when he remixed these puppies. The beats are aggressive and agitating. Nevins was working on a silkier groove before (Janet Jackson's "I Get Lonely" remix comes to mind), but now he has seemed to have gone harder (or tried to anyways). Regardless, this is a song that need not be remixed for dance clubs, it takes away from the original track.

The three remixes featured along with the original version are the epitimy of butchering a classic. Im am so glad that they had samples on this site cause I would have been kicking myself if I bought this CD. The original verion of Jump around was great but the mixes on this cd mad me wanna stick sharpened pancils in my ears. DO NOT WASTE ANY MONEY ON THIS CD!

This song Jumps Around is the best old school rap song. I had never herd about it until last year when I heard it at my birthday party when my dad started raping it. I Loved it! I saw the music video for it and it was cool but then again weird. Please by this cd. The original is the best song but some of the remixs are ok too. Go for the original for one of the best songs to listen to. And remember to JUMP AROUND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jump Around by the House of Pain (Frontman: Everlast) is in my opinion just one of those old-time-favorites. Everybody knows the song and that makes it one you should play at every party!
