Something Else

When "A Beautiful World" came out, my friends were buzzing about how funky-fun and entertaining is this new guy Robin Thicke. "Evolution of Robin Thicke" was a let down, due to the collection of songs going from slow jam to mid-tempo. Alas, "Something Else" isn't, it's just more of the same, with a little retro thrown in. I guess this is supposed to be an homage to impress the young masses, but read more..

Down to Earth

I'm a fan of Jems first CD Finally Woken, but this was almost painful. This album just seems to lay there, while trying too hard at too many styles. This is a classic example of a sophomore slump, no doubt about it. A four year wait, for this? Well, at least they got the title right. read more..

Dear Science,

I pride myself on not falling into the "it doesn't sound like their other stuff" line of criticism when it comes to drastic artistic change, and as TV on the Radio is one of my favorite bands currently in action I have second-guessed my initial off-putting reaction to this album at every turn. But after three and a half listens, I have to say I just can't get into it.

Greatest Hits Vol. 3

CURB RECORDS IS JUST OUT TO MAKE MORE MONEY! IT HAS ONLY BEEN TWO YEARS SINCE TIM'S GREATEST HITS II! THERE SHOULD NOT BE A THIRD ONE FOR A FEW MORE YEARS! THIS IS YET ANOTHER EXAMPLE THAT THE INDUSTRY JUST WANTS MONEY! TIM STILL ROCKS, THOUGH! read more..

Theme Time Radio Hour: With Your Host Bob Dylan

Nice collection of tracks, but has none of Bob Dylan's commentary and patter from the radio show. That makes this disk a huge disappointment to me. read more..

Discipline

Janet...If you read these comments, please take the public's advice, we are the people who pay your bills, and maintain your lifestyle. If you make another album, let your man Jermaine Dupri, hook you up. You should have guest appearances of top rappers, and singers for collaborations. You should make a more R&B album like you did with Damita Jo, and 1993's album janet.

Nightmoves

As a long-time fan of Kurt, I was hoping this album would continue his tradition of walking the innovative "tightrope" that defines the tradition of vocalese as pioneered by Eddie Jefferson, John Hendrix, and Mark Murphy. Instead I heard an entire album of moody crooning derived from his concerts dedicated to Johnny Hartman. I believe this album was recorded in an attempt to widen his commercial a read more..

Gavin DeGraw

I don't like this album, Only two or three song are nice, the rest of the album is really boring... read more..

Don't Forget

This cd is'nt what its cracked up to be.
i thought this cd would be as amazing as the Jonas Brothers newest album, since Demi has written most of her songs with them. Demi kept saying her songs "are more rock" than what most people think. umm, NONE OF THE NEW SONGS ARE ROCK SONGS!
honestly, i thought only 2 songs on the whole album were good enough to play on the radio

Bring Ya to the Brink

I always thought Cyndi Lauper was immune to the pressures of the recording industry. Was I proven wrong with this album!

I think I understand what Lauper was thinking when she recorded it: "Madonna did it and she's succesful, so I can do the same!". NOT. She has a tremendous singing voice, her 2003 effort "At Last" was beautiful, to say the least. Why would she ever record an album wi read more..

All the Right Reasons

Nickelback's latest smash is a horrifying testimony to what happens when a really bad band gets really popular. Kicking off with a thudding, awkward rocker that rides its arena-rock cliches - wah-wah, screamed vocals, loud guitar riffs, Zeppelin-ish rhythms- into the ground, it's painfully stale, wearing its grunge-era borrowings like a badge of honor. Okay, so I'm not gonna pretend that Pearl Jam read more..

Awake Live CD/ DVD

Read great reviews on this, however, the majority of songs are not in English. Even if I was biligual, it sounds as though he is singing in at least 4 different languages. While I don't object to songs in different languages, I prefer not to have almost an entire CD of songs I can't understand other than the melody. Probably will not play it very often, or maybe I will give it to someone who want read more..

The Collection

When purchasing a compilation, often there can be a content vs. audio quality consideration. That is definitely the case here, as this CD has a decent tracklist, but the audio quality is not up to par with several other available compilations.

The audio on this 2004 release is identical to that on the new 2008, complete five studio album (Get Ready, Ecology, One World, Willie read more..

Seeing Sounds

Spread out all over the place.

The influences and styles here, while commendable, are run through the ringer too much. The result is an album made up of songs we don't know what to do with: bob heads to, sing along with, dance to...almost none of these songs is one you can sit back and enjoy. The production is, as always, flawless, and they are to be commended on their ever-challe read more..

Swan Songs

The music is good but the lyrics are pretty cheesy and lame. Undead is a great song and there's a few alright ones here and there but this is nothing special regardless of the other 5 star reviews on here. 90% of the lryics are aobut them trying to get women and just cussing a lot pretending they are touch and cool, pretty sad. Check out the new Slipknot that's worthy of 5 stars read more..

Earth To the Dandy Warhols

I'm sorry--I am a fan but come on, there's not a song on here with comprehensible lyrics. Too much mumbling and vocal distortion for my tastes. The songs are likeable and freaky enough, but by the end you're about ready to strangle Taylor-Taylor if he doesn't come up with one semi-understandable chorus. The lyrics may well be amazing, but you just can't hear 'em. read more..

Live at the Fillmore

I bought this set because of the rave reviews that went with it. And, because I had this snatch of memory from when I was young that I had wanted to buy this. Truthfully everyone, it's a disappointment. I have listened to it several times and while there are certainly songs that I like, and this is Clapton without all of the "maturity", the harmonies are usually bad (just shy of awful in some c read more..

Raising Sand

Got high Hopes but was a bit dissapointed by it all !
I think that the combination could have been tremendous but the album did not excite me at all .. I thought Alison could have tuned up better ..
But it is only me ! read more..

Complices

Un disco aburrido, como para mi abuelo. Realmente Bravo...,bravo a los que lo pueden escuchar de principio a fin sin bostezar. Le falta cambios de ritmos, tonos e instrumentos. La m??sica es casi infinita, no puede encasillarse tanto!!!!!
Luis Miguel, ten??s que innovar, madurar musicalmente no es envejecerte y volverte repetitivo y mon??tono. read more..

Fortune's Favour

I guess in this world of constant evolution from recording artists worth their salt it's no wonder that GBS opt for a transformation to pop music. Only, this isn't their first venture. After a few mediocre trips into popdom with "Sea Of No Cares" and "Something Beautiful" which were passable at best, GBS returned to what they do best on "The Hard And The Easy." The fantastic vintage of that record read more..

Agony & Irony (Deluxe Edition)

It's hard to find words that truly express my full disappointment with this album.
I really wonder if the persons involved in writing music for Alkaline Trio really want to be in the music business at all anymore; let alone for a band that I coveted like Trio. Whatever.
Bands go through changes. They go through bad times. They go through slumps, and they go through courtings. They feel read more..

Undertow

I absolutely love Tool but I somewhat regret buying this LP. The light weight of the vinyl leaves me unsatisfied. Also, the labels look like they were applied by a three year old. The labels were sloppily pressed into the record, cut/torn and don't even feature any artwork (a little boring to look at). read more..

Julianne Hough

Julianne is a great dancer.
Her singing is not world class. Unfortunately she sounds like just another pretty blonde who wants to be a country star.
Too many of them already. Most no better or worse than Julianne. We just don't need another one.

You blow the world away with your dancing. Stick with what you are great at.

The Milk-Eyed Mender

That's the only way I can describe this. Or, this description might help too: imagine a tiny elf belting out a Broadway song during a Wicca celebration. Or... wait, I've got it! It's the woman who says "Go Into The Light" in that movie Poltergeist, except now she's singing at a Riverdance concert.

Seriously though, I'm not going to say this music has no merit, it's just that the voice read more..

Thriller

I rememeber when Thriller first came out and every one was in it to it.I for one must say that some of the songs are good but as whole album it falls flat.If you want a great Michael Jackson album from start to finish I would highly recommend his best album period:Off THe Wall!!! Off The Wall was on the billboard hot 100 albun charts for like 8 years!!!! what does that tell you? Thriller was on th read more..

In Rainbows [Vinyl]

Yawn...... yeah sure it's them, it's Radiohead, but really, I was really hoping for a complete jump forward from the sounds of their lasy few years and do something that would really make us open our eyes, like they did when they made that massive jump from The Bends, to OK Computer, to Kid A, to Amnesiac.
It's well produced, has some good sounds, but it blends too much with the rest of it read more..

Ghosts I - IV

i was surprized when i bought this cd, this is the first negative review I've ever had to write about a nine inch nails cd.

i have loved all of nine inch nails' instrumentals so i figured it would be awsome.
unfortunetly it wasnt, ghosts is a creative work, but for all intensive purposes, its useless.
i expected a long, flowing, beautiful collection of insturmentals, what read more..
