The most disappointing album since Load for heavy metal fans
If you're happy with the kind of music you hear on commercial radio, then this album was made for you. For heavy metal enthusiasts it is a punch in the face from our former dark masters. Skip it and spend your money on a band that still rocks. | 0negative

Looking for a Greatest Hits collection, save your money
I enjoy Whitney but I am not a huge fan so I was looking for a collection of greatest hits. Well most of the collection consists of songs I have never heard and don't really care much for and the ones that I would call hits are all, in my opinion, very bad remixes rather than original releases. If you are like me and just looking for a nice collection representative of a great artist's work, this is not the collection for you. | 0negative

Believe
As a fan of Nils for nearly thirty years, I still get chills at the beginning of a song. Every song is fresh and alive and Nils' wonderful spirit of optimism and love for all people shines through in each selection. Nils playful bantering between songs gives this album an intimacy one usually only experiences in a small club setting. It is as though you are a guest in his living room. | 1positive

A classic JT masterpiece!
This is my favorite album from JT. This is one of those works that takes you back, back in your head to places that you've never even been, back to better times. Sweet Baby James is one of his best songs, right along with Fire And Rain. If you were to only hear two JT songs, it sould be those two. Blossom is also a favorite of mine! Steamroller is great, but the definitive version, in my opinon, is the live cut from his Greatest Hits. Might I also add his version of Oh, Susannah is perfect. This is a definitive album of it's time, and a great place to start your JT collection! | 1positive

Lovely - folk singing at its best
This is probably my favorite of Jean Redpath's CD's. Her sweet, lovely voice shines through on each of the songs. The songs are varied, some traditional, some more recent, all dealing with leavings or departures of one variety or another. Not a CD to pick you up when you're down - many of the songs are a little melancholy, but a wonderful disc for a rainy afternoon or a quiet evening. | 1positive

Brand New?
I first saw them on BET Jazz--singing one song and fell in love with them. I like this cd a lot! | 1positive

Fast
Fast says it all. It got here through overseas mail in 3 or 4 days after order, which is faster than expected. Everything else was in perfect order, too. Mailing package was sturdy, cd was in great shape. Those last two things are expected, but I appreaciate it. | 1positive

Chalk Mark in a Rain Storm ~Joni Mitchell
This is not one of the strongest albums Joni Mitchell has released. The are a lot of guest vocalists and they don't always match with Joni's voice or songwriting. The lyrics are ok as well as Joni's voice, but the synths sound so dated by now. Most of the songs suffer from that. There are a lot of albums who have a distinct 80's sound but this one hasn't hold up that good. I own all of Joni's albums and hate to talk bad about her but this album is not one of my favourites. There is only one song on this album that is really good, the closer A Bird That Whistles. A simple acoustic track with saxophone from Wayne Shorter. The photography on the cover is beautiful as well. So, not one of her best but she has made so many exellent albums that this one pales compared to those. | 0negative

Amazing from start to finish
I saw Framing Hanley live last weekend. I fell in love with their music right away! I bought the CD right after the show. This is one of those CDs that you can listen to from beginning to end. I love every song. Their sound and style is perfect for working out, driving, or just chillin. They're a great band. | 1positive

what is so scary about 9 clowns ?
slipknot suck. they are not death metal they are circus metal.only little supit 12 year old kids think that slipknot are ture black metal. If slipknot is black metal why is there a a clown, gas mask guy, pinnocuo,and a bunch of halloween kids.why is there a damn DJ? if you want real cold dark black metal check out band like mayhem darkthrone immortal dark funeral enslaved and bathory not kids music. | 0negative

EXCELLENT remastering!
I too had the original CD, which was cheaply made and didn't sound very good. I didn't listen to that cd enough to 'get' it.When I got the remaster, I couldn't believe what a GREAT album this is! The sound is unbelievable. And the songs are ultimate Grand Funk Railroad.You've got to listen to these songs all the way through. Every one of them gets better and better throughout each song. This was the BEST from this awesome band. And again, the remaster just SOUNDS so great. If you want ONE defining Grand Funk Album, this should be it. After this, I'd go E Pluribus. | 1positive

Concerto Suite is very sweet indeed
Even if you are not a classical lover, but are familiar with Yngwie's other works, I think you should give this one a try. His well known, highly original style shines through. I expecially liked " Prelude to April " with it's soothing melody.But if it's the hard rock sound that you are looking for, this CD might not be for you. | 1positive

A great collection of pop songs
It always strikes me as odd when people mention music as being dated. To me a great collection of fun songsIt always strikes me as odd when people mention music as being dated. To me a great collection of fun songs are always enjoyable. If you're looking for the latest fad and fashion, this certainly isn't the album you're looking for. But if you just enjoy good pop music from any era (because the 80's were so looooooong ago, a completely different era (rolls eyes)), this is an excellent album to check out. This is the strongest of Huey Lewis and the News's albums, Fore deserves a looking into, as does Picture This. | 1positive

Great song but HORRIBLE REMIXES
I love Tracy Thorn and the original song is great, but the remixes are HORRIBLE. This song in the hands of a couple of great djs would have been fantastic. Don't waste your money on this and buy the album. | 0negative

not really my kind of music
i bought this Rush album, not knowing what any of their music sounds like. I don't really like 80's music, so this cd wasn't my favorite. I am not really bashing this cd, it's just not my kind of music. I'm sure if you like this kind of music, it is the Sgt. Peppers of this genre. So if you've never heard this music before, give it a listen, and then if you like it, go ahead and buy it. | 0negative

Me encanta , lo adoro .
Apesar de que tiene un fisico formidable (me encantan sus ojos , bueno , todo él me encanta) sus canciones tambien me gustan porque su voz es única y como él no hay nadie igual además lo considero un gran actor ya que lo conocí en la telenovela mexicana Sentimientos Ajenos y me gustó mucho su actuación. Estoy esperando que salga su nuevo cd para comprarlo ya que el anterior me gustó mucho.. | 1positive

Worst album.......EVER!
If you listen to Green Day, you are a trendy loser who only likes the music that is "hot". This is just bad music all around. QUIT CALLING GREEN DAY PUNK! They are far from punk! They suck! Punk rock isn't about whining about rejection or winning grammies! Green Day SOLD OUT! For all the kids who like Green Day, they don't care about you! They don't care about any of their fans! THEY CARE ABOUT YOUR MONEY! Listen to some real music! | 0negative

What the good 'ol days of techno were all about
This soundtrack is the first thing that pops into my mind when I think of the electronica scene at the turn of the decade. Today's teeny boppers would do well to pull this off the shelf and hear what was going on in the music scene while they were still playing with their ninja turtle toys. A great cross section of music, ranging from the etherial (Eno) to classic industrial anthems (Ministry). I don't even enjoy modern techno music; to me the scene died out shortly after this album was released. I just keep coming back to this album. | 1positive

Surprisingly Decent
Okay, imagine that Hilary Duff started singing Rock/Electronica. Amazingly enough, the result isn't half bad. While there isn't much depth to be found on any level, there is some fun and catchy tunes on this cd. Give it a try, you may be happily surprised.If you like this, you might also check out Vixtrola. Good stuff. | 1positive

Great for young ones

This deserves zero stars
I don't blame him...I blame his fans. I have to give it to Em and Dr Dre to get a guy like this as big as he is. Pure marketing genius. If a thousand people say something stupid, its still stupid. If 50 says something retarded, we all love it. Go 50! Keep raping the masses with your baby lyrics. "I blame the fans for being dumb enough to feel ya." | 0negative

The King of Pop at his best
This is my favourate album of all time, I love this album so much. There are no weak songs, so it's no wonder Michael got 7 number 1 songs from this album. Most songs are upbeat, but there are Speed Demon and Dirty Diana (My favorite song) which are rock/pop songs. Man In The Mirror and I Can't Stop Loving You are sweet soft ballads. Just Good Friend got the best 2 vocalests in history, a duet Michael with Stevie Wonder. and I must say they're great together. I recomend this album to fans and nonfans of Michael Jackson. | 1positive

Only Price is worth it
This was my first Butterfly, bought in the Sixties, and so Leontyne Price is imprinted in my min for this role, one she neer sang on stage. Her voice is really too big and lush for Cio-cio San, but that hardly matters given her ravishing singing. What does matter, unfortunately, is the stiff, unyielding conducting of Leinsdorf and the trumpet-like bawling of Tucker. both are so bad that it is hard to listen to this set anymore, especially with so many fine alternatives around. | 0negative

Heartfelt tones of Gillian Welch promise bright beginning
The heartfelt tones of Gillian Welch intrigued me when I first heard it being played as I was browsing in a bookstore. I bought this cd on the spot.Not since Emmylou Harris's early work, has an artist entered the music scene whose voice had such a promising quality of innocence laced with deep emotion.Her renditions of "Barroom Girls" and "Orphan Girl" are particularly strong. I've been playing it for two weeks on my evening commute and I have yet to arrive home from the 30 mile trip weary of these songs. Buy it, and tell your friends. They'll thank you. | 1positive

Right on, JMAN from Fairfield County!
Yes, Pet Sounds is as good as music gets. But dang it, I want Surf's Up, too! And Sunflower! And Holland! And Carl and the Passions! And Love You! And the Light Album! Heck, I even want 15 Big Ones, Keepin' the Summer Alive and M.I.U.!The Beach Boys produced so many great albums. It's an awful shame that they're no longer available. I think it's a crime. | 0negative

Subtly, the song of Eliot. The hyacinth girl returns. Datta.
Coltrane's harp chills, mesmerizes; modal piano poundings usher band into a breathless ether of passionate jazz. Alice is a muse and her song fills the room. Echo craving. Last night I made sweet love while listening to this: saxes, flutes, bass, and harp. And the piano frame. This isn't lily wedding music. It's its own terrain plane, gaspingly transcendent. Yearning love music, fire-driven, clairvoyant, liquid. Eros meets Caliope, Caliope meets Telemachus in the vortex of desire. Flickering candle songs, purple smoke and lace. Grace. Think "The Waste Land"; this is the soundtrack. Unreal. "A woman drew her long black hair out tight/And fiddled whisper music on those strings/And bats with baby faces in the violet light/Whistled and beat their wings." I'm telling you the truth, lady. Datta. Dayadhvam. Damyata. Shantih shantih shantih... | 1positive

Words cannot describe....
I received this album on vinyl for my 18th birthday, from the guy who played guitar in the band I was in at the time. A better birthday gift (or one that has left so lasting an impression) would be difficult to pinpoint.From the very opening track of "Kill the King" where they intro with dialogue from the movie "The Wizard of Oz", "Toto, I have a feeling we're not in Kansas anymore!" and BAM! Smack you between the ears with Blackmore! Hard to describe the album after that because it all becomes a sonic blur of ecstacy.....I have read some of the reviews of this album and its lack of incredible tracks like "Stargazer" and the like, but I think Ritchie decided to make an album of heartfelt tracks and not pander to the obvious. Of course, trying to tell someone like Ritchie Blackmore, with an ego the size of a continent is no easy task... the man had things "under control". Much like what Iommi has done with Sabbath.This album ABSOLUTELY SMOKES like there's no tomorrow. As good as most of the tracks are, the one that stays with me the longest (other than the beautiful and most powerful "Catch the Rainbow") is "Still I'm Sad". A better LP ender there could be none. All of the best Rainbow musicians each nail their own parts with expertise and care, Cozy bashing the skins, Jimmie Bain (one of my favorite bass players) thumping along, and of course Ronnie James Dio nailing all the difficult vocals and interacting with the crowd. Crooningly beautiful vocals on tracks like "Catch the Rainbow" just set your soul on fire.If you've never listened to this album, and you're a dedicated rocker, SHAME ON YOU...... | 1positive

This Marisol CD is Awesome!
This Marisol CD from 2001 is a cool collection of songs from her early 1960's Spanish movies. Marisol/Josefa Flores Gonzalez is like Patty Duke, Hayley Mills, and Madonna in one package. This CD has such toe-tapping pop classics as Estando Contigo, Tombola, La Mascara, Bossa Nova Junto a Ti, Chiquitina, Muchachita, Ola Ola Ola, Una Nueva Melodia, and more. I watched the 2009 Marisol TV movie and some of her movies on You Tube. Ana Mena was superb as a young Marisol. The TV movie was interesting, but flawed. It was about as good as the Beach Boys TV movie. The 1970's was a tough time for Marisol. She tried to commit suicide many times and she was single. She created a new image as an independent woman. Marisol was involved in scandals and she has some skeletons in the closet. Marisol retired in 1985 to take care of her family, but she still has a cult following. This CD has some gems from her days as an innocent, happy child. The audio quality on the CD is really good. It sounds great on my cheap, beat up, worn out, budget CD player. The artwork on the cover is from the film Busqueme a Esa Chica/Find That Girl(1964). Marisol songs are more than 40 years old, yet they are still fun to listen to. | 1positive

A true hard rocker from great era of music
Enter Robert John "Mutt" Lange on Def Leppard's second try, a producer known for his studio refinement on some albums, and getting the most out of his talent. The pumped-up sound and production heard on "High 'n' Dry" is evident immediately on the fat metal intro to "Let it Go," a classic, and continues on through each headbanging assault. This CD boasts rugged hard rockers, sheened just enough by Lange to great effect. The songs are boldly one-dimensional, loud, straightforward. The lyrics are simple and also direct, mostly relegated to partying, good times and problems with the ladies. Amped-up backing vocals take center stage on such songs as "Let it Go," "Another Hit and Run" and "Bringing on the Heartbreak," the latter song setting the stage for future heavy metal ballads by a dizzying array of metal bands from the 1980s, most of which would be inferior.All this thrusty headbanging makes later efforts like Leppard'sAdrenalizea complete puzzle. This is a classic rock, riff-heavy metal album, actually quite hard rocking by any band's standards. There's an energetic raunchiness evident on songs like "You Got Me Runnin'" and "Lady Strange," while "On Through the Night" (the song, not the debut album by the band) is a heartening rock 'n' roll drama that defined the band at that point; on the song, Joe Elliott screams, "You never win if you never try!" which I suppose is true enough. "Mirror Mirror" provides a glimpse of what's to come onPyromania, but this album is totally of its own personality in the Def Leppard catalog. Too bad American versions of "High 'n' Dry" left off the awesome "Me and My Wine," one of Leppard's most raw songs ever, with a very cool and funny video to boot. Find "Me and My Wine" on theHigh 'n' Dry [Japan Import] [Picture Disc] +2 Bonus Tracksdisc.To sum, this band's initial work was characterized by a genuinely robust twin guitar attack, chopping, well-spaced drums and a wild lead singer who usually sang voraciously about nothing. At this point, Def Leppard was knocking on superstardom's door and people were heartily listening, banging their heads in time to the beat and pumping their fists into the hungry air of the early '80s. | 1positive

The Jezebel of Jazz: Slap-Down Recordings from the 1950s and 1960s
Anita O'Day (1919-2006) is at the pivot of swing, jazz, and bob. O'Day claimed that a botched throat operation left her without significant vibrato and the ability to hold long notes. Because of this, O'Day said, she sang as a drummer might play, and it was true that her performances were noted for an unexpectedly percussive quality. Even so, O'Day's claims were not entirely true: her vibrato, although soft, is apparent in most of her recordings, and she could and occasionally did hold long notes. Whatever the case, the sound that emerged from O'Day's mouth was truly unexpected, a dead-pan, lightly flat tone that burst into a series of unexpected but flawlessly placed notes.During the 1940s O'Day was "the girl singer" with a number of big bands, but she never quite fit the mold: instead of sweeping onto the bandstand in an evening gown, she tended to wear a skirt, blouse, and jacket; instead of venting forth romantic ballads, she popped with street smart jive, and her attitudes occasionally provoked controversy, as when she did in 1941 when she, a white woman, performed a duet with Roy Eldrige, an African American vocalist and instrumentalist. It simply wasn't done at the time, and the pairing outraged many, but "Let Me Off Uptown" was a memorable hit for the band, and O'Day never looked back. It would prove a rowdy ride for the singer, whose love affairs, fits of drug addiction, and highly publicized arrest gave her the title "The Jezebel of Jazz."ANITA O'DAY: THE DIVA SERIES does not feature her big band work or her hip-cat jive sound of the 1940s. Instead, it offers songs recorded between about 1955 and 1963, which might really be considered the peak years for her voice. O'Day was famous for taking a slow or mid-tempo song, such as "Tea for Two" or "Ten Cents a Dance" and pushing into an almost impossible speed in which her voice darted from note to note like a hummingbird; she was also famous for performing a mid or slow-tempo song in a series of short notes and unexpected tones, with "Honeysuckle Rose" and "Crazy He Calls Me" cases in point. In either case, the result is astonishing. What Charlie Parker and Thelonious Monk were to musicians, Anita O'Day was to vocalists: she stood at the epicenter of beebop, blessed with the ability to scat as freely as Ella Fitzgerald, blessed with the ability to sing with the emotional power of Billie Holiday, and combining both in an improvisational style that put her voice dead center of the song.Whenever you talk about "the best" of anything there is always going to be an argument, and in truth it would take a massive collection to do justice to O'Day. Even so, where O'Day is concerned, THE DIVA SERIES does right by her, including a handsome sampling of her works from this period. There may be better single CD collections, but if you don't know the singer, this is a very good place to begin.GFT, Amazon Reviewerwith thanks to Michael Wilk, whose gift this was! | 1positive

Not as good as 3 dollar bill y'all
I heard Nookie on Mtv and really liked it. I bought the CD and hoped that I would find at least another good song. I was really wrong. All I heard was the F-word and every other cuss used in every other sentence. The lyrics are TERRIBLE, execpt for Nookie. Hopefully they'll do better. If I were you, listen to it on the radio but skip the CD. | 0negative

THIS is rap music
Tribe Called Quest were great, as if you didn't already know. Need proof? Buy this album. From the opening bass line of "Excursions," with its heavy beats and perfect prose, the tone of the album is set. All through the album the beats are deep and the bass is funky without being overbearing. There are a few tracks that are less than superb, but the album is still great. "Buggin' Out," "Butter," "Rap Promoter," "Rhymes and Stuff," "Jazz," and "Scenario" are all perfect. Any knowledge of rap invariably involves this album, so you should probably own this. Besides, it's just plain good. | 1positive

five stars, but...
There's no doubt that VAN HELDEN is a great dj. There's no doubt, that this one may be a great mix. There's no doubt, that these songs may be anthems of New York club scene. There's no doubt, that the album may "represent that feeling of nightlife, that feeling of going out...", as VAN HELDEN says himself in the intro. And there's no doub't that it may do it really well.I haven't been there, i know nothing about it. And i know, the album isn't meant for me then. But still i wan't to say that. For an outsider, theese tracks sound cool. Songs are familiar, have heard them, like them, but there are no personal memories included. And that's why, for a non-NYC-clubber this cd may seem a bit pointless. These hits by themselves are not endearing enough to charm all music lovers.So take this poor piece of review just as a warning. If NY city-culture is not a part of your life, there's a chance, you won't see the appeal of this album. | 0negative

This CD is a gem, I had this LP back in the 80s, made a cassette and wore it out!! Tony Carey has a fantastic style, Meatloaf/Pink Floyd mixed. this CD has a storyline that begs you to listen to the next song. thank God It's a double length CD, i can't get enough!! | 1positive

Sloan is Dead? Long Live Sloan!
It seems to me that Sloan is listening to their fanbase with this one. I don't have Pretty Together due to the collective sigh issued by reviewers everywhere. Between The Bridges was so good, I didn't want to have my buzz ruined. So Sloan must have heard. Dropping the keyboards and punching up the guitars and the tempos, Sloan delivers a more hard nosed sound. But the advances in songwriting made over the years have not been jettisoned. Sure, "Backstabbin'" is some big dumb rock but they have never denied their taste for these moments. But then again a song like "Who Loves Life More?" somehow invokes Brian Eno in its harmonies.Their taste for the 80s is subtly mixed with the 60s and 70s throughout. What you get are those tight harmonies delivering thoughtful lyrics over some really tight rock riffs and grooves. The mood is downcast overall but never at the expense of some really driving pop/rock that is opposed to the prevalent adolescent mope you find coming from most quarters. While clearly embracing the emotive rush of youth, Action Pact is made by adults who like to rock. So if you have problems with four grown men holding onto the redemptive powers of two guitars, bass, and drums, clear out. And with time, this album sinks its teeth in and hangs on. It simply supercedes any rock hang-up I have and says this is real. It is all about leaving any critical sawhorse behind and getting swept up in the moment. | 1positive

Trans-Spatial Sur La Mer Memories Of A Distant Sea
This compilation is the digital re-master of Donovan's 1967 box 2 LP set. I originally received the box set as a Christmas present from my sis in '67. I must admit that I played the grooves out of the old vinyl, so finding that a pristine, re-mastered CD of the set, just as it was sequenced on the old vinyl, was a temptation that I could not resist. No bonus tracks or alternative versions here - just the playlist as it was originally heard, all those years ago.The original box contained two LPs. The first record was dedicated to the "flower children" that Donovan assumed were finding their way to a new awareness. The second LP was dedicated to "Little Ones"; the children of the "children."For those who might be looking for "Sunshine Superman", or "Mellow Yellow", this is not what you are looking for. This is a unique collection that stands all by itself as a monument of a rather strangely beautiful slice of time that came, and went, in the blinking of an eye. And yet, here it is, still.The opening track of the first LP, "Wear Your Love Like Heaven", was, I think, the only radio "hit" that emerged from "Gift", but it was so many other songs from this set that etched their way into my consciousness. Personal favorites here include:*Skip-Along-Sam*There Was A Time*Oh Gosh*The Land Of Doesn't Have To Be*Someone's Singing*The Enchanted Gypsy*Isle Of Islay*The Tinker And The Crab*Starfish On The Toast*Epistle To DerrollAbsent here is much of the original album art and, of course, the folder with individual pages that included the lyrics, along with elaborate illustrations of the songs on the second LP. But how could that find its way into a CD? Some things get lost with the transitions of technology. Give a little, take a little. Or so it goes.But if you enjoy a bit of time warpin', and merging with an ocean world of never was, and yet, just maybe, always has been ... then you will emmensely enjoy this recording. Maybe you had to have been there ... or, maybe not. | 1positive

THE BEST WAS YET TO COME
This compilation begins in mid-1928, just at the point when Annette switched from the Pathé label to Columbia and its superior recording process. Ten of the tracks are accompanied by Frank Ferera's Hawaiian Trio, but her voice transcends their limitations. The accompaniments are far superior for the remainder, which include variously such stalwarts of jazz as trumpeters Mike Mosiello, Frank Cush, and Manny Klein, clarinettists Jimmy Lytell and Benny Goodman, and pianists Rube Bloom, James P. Johnson and Clarence Williams. As Will Friedwald points out in his excellent liner note, some of the recordings were modelled on Helen Kane, but even within that limitation her voice blossomed. However, it's the straight readings with jazz accompaniments that are the highlights of this compilation, and they point the point the way to the joys of the next volume. | 1positive

Ooooohhh!!! They're such badasses!!!
Rap sucks! These guys suck! Sounds like they thought up all these songs in the car on the way to the studio! I ran out and sold this the day after I bought it because I felt cheap and used carrying it around in my walkman bag! After this goes Number 1 next week and these guys start showing up at places like the Scott Weiland Celebrity Golf Classic, don't say I didn't warn ya! | 0negative

Keep it Coming
Anybody who talks about G-Unit and thinks Lloyd Banks is just a filler, obviously doesn't know what they are talking about. He's rightly been termed the boy wonder and The Lebron James of rap Young Buck repping the South is a strong show over the album. We don't get to hear much of Tony Yayo who's only featured on 2 songs, but you know he's got skillz. This aent the reserve team folks, this is All Star material.BEG FOR MERCY is more than your average CD. It's not quite as good as 50's 'Get rich or die Trying' because there are about 5 out of 18 songs that were relatively weak IMO, but it definitely sets itself apart from 50's album in terms of beats and flow, while introducing 50's crew who do their thing.'Popping them Thangs' is a Dre beat and the Unit rides the beat like they 's'pposed to.'Groupie love' and 'I'm so hood' sound surprisingly more like Blackstreet, especially on the chorus.'Wanna get to know you' which is now in heavy rotation, features joe and samples Marvin Gaye, a lovely track.'Stunt 101' is as fresh as possible, wholly new sound IMO.Lloyd Banks pulls it off with 'SMILE' which is easily one of the best tracks in the set.'G'd up' is off the hook with some crazy guitar riffs and a sinister beat coupled with the perfect flow. Dre's at it again.One of my other faves is 'Baby u got' which sounds like something from the 70'S but has the funniest lyrics.This album is more than solid. It's Damn good! | 1positive

Frustratated because a cassette was sent and *NOT* a CD
Even if the musical quality is above average I had heard it just once because I dont like audio cassettes any more. For example, reaching and searching for a song is a painful experience these days. CDs are have random access to any track.CASSETTES ARE OBSOLETE!!It was frustrating to see the cassette (instead of a regular,normal and standard CD) when I opened the box.This was the only disappointment. All the other items (CDs and DVD-Video) were super. | 0negative

Love It
S Club 7 is the next best thing to come out of Britain since Steps. These quirky 7 members, Hannah, Rachel, Paul, Jon, Jo, Bradley, and Tina, are loads of fun. Their attempt at a first album is the best I've heard from pop in a long time. My favourite song is "Gonna Change the World" which is sung by the boys, and it shows a different side to their music. They have a guitar intro and it's just a really mellow song without a bunch of that pop stuff that they're known for. Rachel's solo, "I Really Miss You" is really sweet mellow yet up tempo-ish song. She's got a beautiful voice that can mesmerize. "You're My Number One" makes you want to get up and dance, cause it's so poppy. "Viva La Fiesta", "Friday Night", and "It's A Feel Good Thing" have that salsa sound to it, which will make you wanna shake your bum. "Two in A million" is the best ballad (after "gonna change the world") because it's just really relaxing to listen to. I love all the songs on the album. Look out for their sophomore album, which is even better! | 1positive

NOT the very best
I was severely dissapointed when I put this CD in my CD player. Expecting to hear origional recordings, I was very upset. Everything is re-recorded except for probably, his best hits of the eighties:"You Got It" and "I Drove All Night." I dont recommend it at all. | 0negative

RIP Robin and Maurice
I remember asking for money to buy this album when it came out. I eventually got it on a day it snowed so hard that after waiting 2 hours for a ride that never arrived, I caught a cab, yet I had to walk part of the way home because the roads were so bad. The album was worth it, it was warm listening to. Subway is my favorite. I still have the album but not a record player so I will purchase the CD. | 1positive

Great southern gospel songs in "Shout 2003"
"Shout 2003" continues the tradition of listening to and enjoying top- notch southern gospel music.It's great to hear and listen to top gospel hits from many well knownsouthern gospel artists . What you always hear is the "cream-of- the- crop in southern gospel gospel music. You also get to hear many new southern gospel artists as well.Once you hear this collection of gospel music on this double cd set, you'll want to hear it again and again. Enjoy! | 1positive

Everlast is the Second Coming
Whitey Ford sings the blues... IS a bad album , and i dont like it , he is a washed up rap star, trying to be a folk singer, Vanilla Ice tried it, and it diddnt work! So why would everlast try it? This album is a waste of money, he has to get washed up rappers like Prince Paul to be on this piece of junk, if you like MTV and you like alternative rap albums, than buy this album. I think Everlast's first solo album ( Everlast's Rap is Evil, and i love God) was a much better solo album please do not buy this album thank you very much | 0negative

I HAD SO MUCH FUN REVIEWING THAT OTHE FILLER ALBUM THOUGHT I WOULD TAKE A CRACK AT THIS ONE.
JUST LIKE IN MY OTHER REVIEW I CAN'T FIGURE OUT THE MADNESS OVER THESE GUYS. I WILL ASK IN THIS POST AS WELL FOR SOMEBODY TO ACTUALLY EXPLAIN TO ME WHY THEY SHOULD BE HEARD AND ARE RELEVANT IN A CREATIVE WAY. HONESTLY PEOPLE YOU CAN'T CALL THESE GUYS ARTISTS. AN ARTIST CREATES SOMETHING FROM A IDEA OR TWO THESE GUYS TAKE THOSE IDEAS AND JUST LUMP THEM TOGETHER. IT'S AS SIMPLE AS THAT. AND TO TOP IT OF THEY DON'T HAVE THE CHOPS AS MUSICIANS TO BE RELEVANT IN THAT FORM EITHER. A COMMENT LIKE "THEY ROCK" OR "THE LEAD SINGER IS SOOOO HOT" AREN'T EXAMPLES OF A GREAT ARTIST OR BAND. FROM THE DATES OF THE LAST POST MY WORDS MIGHT BE IN VAIN, KIND OF LIKE THE VALIDITY OF THIS RECORD. BECAUSE THERE HASN'T BEEN A POST ON HERE FOR TWO YEARS. IF A FAN OF BANKING BENJAMINS DOES STUMBLE UPON THIS POST I INVITE YOU TO CHECK OUT MY OTHER REVIEWS, AND CHECKOUT SOME RELEVANT AND GREAT MUSIC. | 0negative

very disappointed
AFter reading other reviews here, I couldn't wait to get this CD. Now I can't wait to see if my used CD store will give me anything in trade. The vocals are horrendous- particulary the male vocal is rarely on key. Musical quality is not just "unpolished" it is awful. The lyrics are heartfelt, but would be better served being sung by someone who can carry a tune. Instead it is a painful droning attempts at song. Download mp3s first, before you spend $. See if the tone grates on your nerves. I sure wish I had. Check out CDs like "ancient mother" instead. | 0negative

I like "robot" Neil Young more than regular Neil Young
I'll admit that I'm not a fan of Neil Young. I know he's a great songwriter but he just doesn't do it for me. His voice is too whiny sounding and his songs too melancholy. HOWEVER, TRANS is a GREAT CD! The songs kick and are sometimes very beautiful. His "robotic" voice I think works great on the songs. I'll take TRANS over Harvest and Freedom any day. | 1positive

A Real Mishmash -- Look Elsewhere
The CD starts out great. Tracks 1-7 are Brownie & Sonny at their finest. Then, beginning with Track 8, it devloves into an incomprehensible, badly produced collection of recordings that sound like they were taped in someone's living room. I suppose it might be worth the price for 7 great songs, but otherwise I would recommend you look elsewhere. | 0negative

Way too overrated album!!!!
Don't get me wrong, but this album is way to overrated. I don't understand how an album can get so much credit when it is musically shallow. This is what I consider the 5 greatest albums of all time:1. The White Album (The Beatles)2. Revolver (The Beatles)3. Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (The Beatles)4. Rubber Soul (The Beatles)5. Abbey Road (The Beatles) | 0negative

Fastway - 'All Fired Up' (Sony) 4 1/2 stars
Originally released in 1984,this was the follow-up to the band's self-titled effort(see my review)and just about as good,if not better.Cannot believe there are only two other reviews of this metal classic.Tracks here that make this CD reissue a true keeper are the title cut "All Fired Up",the ass kickin' "Steal The Show","Tell Me",their power-ballad "Stranger" and "Telephone".Sure would like to see these guys reunite sometime.Hey,reunions are HUGE these days. | 1positive

Another Absorbent,Vitalizing album 4 N-T-T's roun'the globe
I got my 1st. JMRQY album in 1993 thanks to a swedish friend that went to visit me in Chile.From moment one I fell in love with their music,trying to get my hands on whatever I could. I met them at the press conference in Chile and amazingly enough my questions we're the only ones shown on TV, they say that no one asks better questions than a fan!(By the way Stuart Zender invited me to the concert).Their music has gone with me to the Atacama desert,to Pucon right under a Volcano, to the slopes of Valle Nevado,backpacking to Valle del Elqui, and numerous south american beaches. It became a summer ritual to watch the sun set to a tune like "Didgital Vibrations",or take a long walk with "Stillness in Time" in my head,or watch my friends goin down the slopes to "Use the Force" or "Light Years",dream of that perfect one with songs like "Half the Man" and last on the list but 1st in my heart JAM with the soulmates and transmit my passion with songs like "Blow my Mind", "Everyday" or Morning Glory"..For 2 year I waited ,filling my head up with imaginary vibes and tunes turned into colors,and finally Synkronized was born and I must say I like it more than I thought I would. It's a ripe album directed to the fans and constant jammers that have travelled with them all these years. It's Complete and Exilirating.I say cheers, till our next encounter for now I'm suspended in the Big Apple waiting for July 21st's MASSIVE JAM and soon I will re-comence my rotation...Keep Moving Solar Babies!!N-T-T of Light | 1positive

WOW!! I'm proud they come from D.C.!!
To most fans of Ska it's important that when purchasing a CD they know whether or not the band "Sold Out" in the eyes of their hometown fans. Well I've been a "hometown fan" of The Pietasters for the last six years. Now I know I'm only one person and that this is just my personal opinion. But I must say that after listening to Willis (The Pietasters major label debut) they still have my utmost respect! This CD has all the powerful yet stylin' sounds that The Pietasters are known for. If you're looking for a Poppy Lollipop Punk/Ska sound go else where because these guys have substance and class! Willis is a sure to be Ska classic!! | 1positive

White Bird
I love the entire album, have since it came out. But to anyone out there, I have another question. It's a beautiful day put out another album with a picture of a camel on the front, and one song in particular that I thought was great called "anytime". I was hoping someone out there could possibly tell me where I can find the vinyl or CD version. Could be rewarding for you. | 1positive

deceived
The music on this SINGLE is excellent. If you read carefully you'll notice that this is indeed a single, but I overlooked that since all of the tracks on the album were listed. Whoever made it look like that is a liar and has some repenting to do! Again, the music is excellent, so go ahead and pay the $3 plus shipping for the REAL version instead of $.92 plus shipping for this single. There actually is a cool thing about the single, though, it has an impressive live version of "Lights and Sounds" as the fourth and final track. Consider yourself fully informed. | 0negative

The worst out of the best.
Bridge, an album that plays absolutely no testament to a band whose ability far superceedes this pile of [garbage]. I have been listening to BT for about 15 years now, seeing them doing live shows in the Jersey area in the late 80's. If you want a great album, buy "Save His Soul," dont waste your time with this garbage. Im sorry Bobby S. is dead, he truly was a backbone for this band, listen to any early stuff and his bass is clearly prominent. Its a shame. | 0negative

Californicate, baby.
Eh, the cameraman's story is nice, but I'm still happy with being Tony Kiedis' cousin.Anyway, anyway, this is a beautiful, beautiful record. I'm absolutely in love with Scar Tissue (and the video). Two of the other great tracks on this are the ones preceeding Scar Tissue; Around The World and Parallel Universe behold to us a return of the Chili Peppers funky rock style that set them apart from any mainstream recording artist many, many years ago.In short, it's a brilliant piece of recording from my favorite family band, and definitely, do not wait. Do yourself a favor and buy it right now. | 1positive

somewhat ok
Take away 80% of the creativity, melody and uniqueness of the Talking Heads and the Pixies, throw in some mid 80's glam rock, and you're left with the Killers.Now it's not entirely a bad album- sometimes the vocals work, though more often than not the lead singer leaves me completely cold.If people seriously think the Killers are one of the best bands from the last several years, I have to strongly disagree. We need a band with a more original sound and definitely more creativity as far as vocal melodies and background arrangements go. This is basically commercial rock similar to Green Day but slightly better, that's all. | 0negative

Just as great as the others
A lot of people write off "Bouncing Off The Satellites" as not being as good as other B-52 albums and refer to the passing of guitarist Ricky Wilson which occured midway through the completion of the album, but this album is just as good as other albums released by The B-52's in the 80's. Songs like "Theme For a Nude Beach," "Summer of Love," and "Girl From Ipanema Goes To Greenland," are classic and really good songs. Also, be sure to check out "Ain't It A Shame," a rather melancholy song for the group. | 1positive

2-1/2 Stars -- Their more like a Franchize at the bottom of their game
I know this is not saying much but this CD is actually BETTER than their self-titled debut album. Why do I say that? Because that album was overhyped with their hit song "White Tee" (which by the way I still never liked) and the rest of their album pretty much sounded the same production and lyric wise. The main problem with all these south artist and groups is that they all rap mainly about the same stuff, cars, money, girls and the don't F with me I'm the best now tracks.But back to the actual album there is some versatility in the songs but unfortunatley they cover the same material most south artists are rapping about whether it's about sex "Freaky As She Wanna Be", the I'm hot now track, "Give Props", cars in "Ridin Rims", and of course the don't F with me song "Don't Play With Me".I know it does help to have Jermaine Dupri produce your album for you but it doesn't help when he, Bow Wow and Da Brat outshines you on your own track on "I Think They Like Me (Remix)". Speaking of getting outshine by guest artist, Bun-B does the same thing on "My Music", and ditto for Three 6 Mafia on "Don't Play With Me". Of course everyone has heard their club banger "Lean Wit It, Rock Wit It" which helped boost snap music but after a while even that song wore on me.Yes the Franchize have helped along with D4L kick start the snap music craze, and this album is nice enough for a party. But those who want something with real lyrics will have to check elsewhere. | 0negative

Not the original songs
In a hurry to finish an order, I didn't check out reviews as I usually do... Big mistake. As others noted, these are RE-recordings, apparently by the original artists, but not the songs as we remember hearing them. Even if you're not very familiar with the original versions, I don't recommend this CD. It goes right into my "Give to Goodwill" box. | 0negative

By far Nas' worst album
As I said in my I Am review, I'm a huge Nas fan, but I'm a realistic fan: This was definitely the lowpoint of his career.It's hard to hear Nas try to be something that he isn't. That's what he tried to do on this album. Most of the album was fillers, with a few pretty good songs. Nas' lyrics aren't bad, but on most of the songs he's very braggadocio and I don't enjoy the message he conveys.My favorite tracks: 1. Project Windows 2. Some of Us Have Angels 3. New WorldThose were really the only songs I liked. | 0negative

utter garbage from a talentless lipsyncing publicity hog
This album is horrible. Britney barely sings...she whines and sounds like she's in pain when she attempts to hit a high note. You can barely even hear her through the over-produced background music that attempts to drown out her voice so you don't notice how horrible she is. No wonder she lipsyncs in concert. This isn't real music. I would give it a zero if I could. Mandy Moore is so much better. | 0negative

Why the frowns for Smile?
I'm at a loss to try and understand the negative reviews of Smile by supposed Brian Wilson fans. To have Smile in its finished form is reason enough to hail this release, let alone having the Wondermints as his backing band on this wonderfully recorded performance. As innovative in today's pop world as it would have been in 1966-67. | 1positive

Classic songs, brilliantly performed.
Marni Nixon, perhaps best-known for dubbing Audrey Hepburn's singing in the film version of "My Fair Lady," turns in a simply magnificent performance here as she sings some of the finest pop songs ever written. The accompaniment by pianist Lincoln Mayorga and a small band is perfect and it is obvious that was a labor of love for both vocalist and ensemble. What keeps this from being a five star CD is the selection--some of the songs are not Kern standards, and considering the amount of classics Kern wrote, it seems that they could have chosen better songs than "Californ-i-ay" or "Go, Little Boat." However, this CD is a great collection of songs by one of the greatest songwriters of the first half of the twentieth century. | 1positive

Ten years after...and still regretting it.
About ten years ago, when in the sixth form of a small town in the North East of England, at a party I saw (very late at night, and very drunk) Ten Years After ripping through 'I'm Going Home'on the Woodstock film. It was tremendous, so I went to the local record shop and ordered 'Stonedhenge' as it had been re-released on CD. I waited for weeks for it, in a state of considerable anticipation, and when it finally arrived what did I hear? A couple of decent songs - Hear Me Calling's infectiously bluesy riff, and Speed Kills' locomtive rhythmn, both with that trademark sparkling, speedy sound of Alvin Lee's guitar - but that was about it. The rest was a patchwork of half-baked "psychedelic" ideas that probably sounded great in a studio at three in the morning in 1969. A drum version of Three Blind Mice, anybody? A bass solo in part uncannily reminiscent of the theme tune to Play Away? How about Scoobly-Oobly-Doobob, a drop of the ever-popular scat singing? A dollop of flaccid jazz-rock (Woman Trouble) to finish off with? As an album it could have made a fairly decent single. I bought it about a decade ago and the tenner it cost still rankles when I see it on my shelf. Yours for a fiver. Four, then... | 0negative

A Great Album
This album by the Beach Boys is one of the greats. Each song makes its own musical and lyrical point and the vocal performace by the group, and Brian Wilson in particular, are nothing short of awe-inspiring. This is one of the first albums to really push the envelope as to what pop music could be. "God Only Knows", "Don't Talk (Put YOur Head on My Shoulder)", "Wouldn't It Be Nice" and "Caroline No" are the best tracks.A lot of people mention Sgt. Pepper in their review of this album. Sgt. Pepper, along with Revolver, Abbey Road, and the "White" album, is better than this album. Proof of this is that there seems to be an insecurity among Beach Boys fans that they always have to mention Sgt Pepper while discussing Pet Sounds. The Beatles are the better band. Period. That is why they top every hundred greatest artists of rock list and the Beach Boys don't even make the top ten.Despite all of this, this is an excellent effort by the Beach Boys and the album that makes the Beach Boys worth their place in rock and roll history. | 1positive

Bon Jovi's best album
This is the greatest of all of Bon Jovi's albums. Its first track, "Let it rock" opens loud and strong, grabs you with the first note and does not let you go until the last note of the last song. There is nothing wrong with this album. The songs are upbeat and exciting, the instrument playing perfect. I highly reccomend this album to any one out there who wants to start listening to Bon Jovi. True, this is there 3rd album, but its where you will find most of their biggest hits from the 80s, like "Livin on a Prayer" and You give love a bad name". | 1positive

A great album.
These guys get better with every outing, and this album is terrific. I haven't stopped playing it since I got it. The vocals are clear, and the harmonies are a thrill. Plus they sound like they are having fun, not always true with groups who re-form. There is no one who does toe-tapping honky tonk like the Mavericks, and there are some great cuts on this album. Buy it. | 0negative

This album BLOWS!
John Mayer is the most pretentious, average musician around. Anybody who has seen him live, or read an interview, will see he is self-absorbed and a minor talent. His has no edge, no depth and no balls ... his music will for ever remain fluff.I love TRUE signer/songwriters (Springsteen, Neil Young, Dylan and Dave Matthews who Mayer has ripped and then polished for "pop-radio") This album is dull and predictable...but will out sell most good music because the public can't judge talent from garbage. | 0negative

one of the worst cds I have ever heard
My sister bought this cd the day it came out and I have had to listen to it every day. I can't stand it! it is one of the worst cds ever along with Backstreet boys, Mandy Moore, and 98 degrees.there is only one kindof good song on this cd which is BYE BYE BYE. If you want good music go get a Dave Matthews band cd or a Guster cd. Now that is good music. Trust me this is a terrible cd. If you are just buying this cd for BYE BYE BYE then just go and buy the single! That is the only kindof good song!So trust me don't buy this cd. | 0negative

This is the the best "Culture" album that Ive heard yet! I had the pleasure of seeing Joseph Hill & co. live a few years ago and they were Hot. I cant seem to get this cd out of my car stereo ,the live "two sevens clash" is the shit! Reggae music in my opinion is best "live", so when I found out Culture just released this one I knew it would be good, and I wasnt surprised to find it great! Culture never sold out to the Shitstem they have remained a solid force in the "Roots", "Rock","REGGAE" for over 20 years ,much respect my breddrens, One love! Magadogx13 10/06/98 | 1positive

Grow Up
Mind Body & Soul is one of those recordings that leaves you wishing you'd never wasted the money, and probably won't, again. There's no doubt Joss has an amazing voice, but does she have a manager or a producer with any sense at all? If she did, most of these tracks would have been saved for an album titled: Mad At Parents & Family. This album has its highlights (You Had Me, Security, Sleep Like A Child), but the downside is you'll be left with the impression that her parents have no buisness telling her what to do, and who cares? In the liner notes, which read like War & Peace, she even calls them f*%&king; crazy - but she loves them. In addition, her brother seems to have lost his mind - via a 'secret' 15th track on the US version (following an extended silence). It seems this poor guy is really a mess, but he's still her brother. The long silence preceeding the song made me think she was afraid he might hear it, and then pull her pigtails or break her Spice Girls cd. Maybe it would have been safer leaving it off the album - 'hiding' it didn't keep ME from hearing it. Her brother might be just too messed up to find it, though.I have no idea what her family life is like, and I'm not interested. This album makes Joss sound like the kind of naive, angry, spoiled little teenager you may have living next door... The one who makes you feel sorry for her parents. My advice is that unless you just LOVE listening to a complaining teenager giving you HER opinion of how it's going to be, let this recording go by. Wait for the next one, and hopefully somebody won't let her do her own songwriting on it. A few years down the road, she may be mature enough to both write and perform, but right now, whether she wants her or not, I think she needs her mommy. | 0negative

I can highly recommend this CD to all classical funs. "Archduke Trio" is beautiful piece and it is performed on the same way. One of the best thing on this CD is sound quality. Sound is rich and so transparent.You can so clear and so ease hear and locate position of each performer. Put this CD in your player, press button 'start' and - ENJOY! | 1positive
