Nearly two years after the break up of the group, it seems Christian music is ready for a reminder of Jump5, and double-disc 'The Ultimate Collection' pulls together the best (and worst) of the group's repertoire. By the end of the first disc, the group sound increasingly like S Club Juniors and the Christian content becomes increasingly vague. Nevertheless, there are some decent pop tunes. "All I Can Do", from their 2002 album 'All The Time In The World', is guaranteed to get you dancing around your room and precedes their electro-pop cover of "We Are Family". Unfortunately their cover of "Walking On Sunshine" is let down by weak vocals and poor guitar tone. "Shining Star" is one of the more recent tracks and was the title song of their 2005 album. Despite the repetitive and programmed drums, this track is a strong point of the first side thanks to the welcome addition of some distortion on the guitars. Disc two of the compilation has such tracks as the electro-pop sound of "Throw Your Hands Up" and the Christmas hymn "Joy To The World", both from 'All The Time In The World.' This compilation is okay in parts but in truth there are too many duds.

I think it would be very helpfun if there were a copy of lyrics. I cant listen to the audio, because it is blocked. Thats because I'm on a school computer.
