Funny how love is everywhere-- just look at see! by tjhassecrets Pros: Side Black is one of the greatest chunks of music in history.
Cons: Side White is scattershot and not as cohesive. = Come tonight! Come to the other side! Come to ogre battle fight! = It pains me to not give this album a perfect 5/5 stars without having to round up, because it holds such great memories for me. The mysterious aura of Queen ...

And no one paid attention when you just stopped eating by GregRadiohead Pros: A haunting work about death, loss, illness, and love
Cons: Overrated and, arguably, emotionally manipulative There is a long history of art that deals with pain, death, loss, and sadness. The danger in such work, at least to me, is that it can be emotionally manipulative and lead you to think more highly of something than you otherwise might not, if it was ...

Bey gets you bodied with lots of yelling........ B' Day from Beyonce by msbunnylicious Pros: lots of energy, good singing
Cons: too much intensity, over singing, shouting, yelling soon becomes obnoxious Beyonc is an honest to goodness good singer; her big, pretty urban voice is vibrant with a lot of range. But sometimes.... a lot of the times, she over does herself, overabundance of intensity exploding from her vocals. There is not often a ...

Brave from Jennifer Lopez// Not a good listen by msbunnylicious Pros: .................
Cons: the album overall sounds so repetative and unoriginal Brave from Jennifer Lopez is a very weak album. There are a few good tracks of course, but they are few and far between, the meek handful of good tracks still of mere mediocrity; the majority of Brave is unimpressionable and extremely ...

Welcome Back, Maxwell. You've Been Missed. by speeddemon531 Pros: Mature, romantic, well-written and well-performed soul music.
Cons: The album could have been a track or two longer. There are only two reasons that a musician can take an 8-year vacation and find his audience still intact. Either the music industry hasn't found someone to replace him, or he's THAT good. In the case of R&B singer/songwriter Maxwell Rivera, it's a ...

“The Power Of Love:” A Whispy Song, A Waste Of A Single. by wlswarts Pros: Not a bad song
Cons: Overproduced, Short (does not use the medium well). When it comes to the works of Celine Dion, there are few songs that will probably make it onto each and every one of her compilations the way that her song “The Power Of Love” does. The song was Dion’s first multinational hit and the song that defined ...

Loreena McKennitt Shines in the Short But Lovely A Winter Garden by bilbopooh Pros: five lovely recordings
Cons: might as well get the full-length album instead When I took a class in folklore during my six-week trip to England in 2001, my professor enthusiastically sang the praises of Loreena McKennitt, bringing in a recording of her singing The Highwayman so that we could all appreciate the talent of ...

Chris Brown Exclusively Tells Us Nothing Exclusive! by glvrican Pros: A Select Few With Decent Results
Cons: Where Do We Start? Before Chris Brown was a black belt in the art of woman beating, he had a poor fitted debut album and an ego the size of Manhattan. His voice was relatively weak, compared to his idols Usher and Michael Jackson, but he still had those killer dance moves, ...

The Sacred Spirit is just that . . . by sojournseeker Pros: Dance even if you've never learned how. Soar even if you don't believe
Cons: none Your out in the wild, hearing your own heart beat against the wind and raging inside is a survivor amongst the radical changes facing the youth ready to take on adult manhood. It is a powerful journey that could begin on a ridge somewhere overlooking any ...

Stu-Pid Title and The Hadley St. Nightmare by guy922 Pros: It's interesting to try new things.
Cons: ....But it mostly sucks. I never thought I would actually be writing a review about a Solange Knowles album, nor did I ever believe I’d have one in my possession. But so it has come to be. I went home to Denver in August, and visiting my friend one afternoon, I was ...

With Come Darkness, Come Light, Mary Chapin Carpenter Offers Twelve Unusual Christmas Songs by bilbopooh Pros: mellow tone, mostly unfamiliar songs, Christmas Carol
Cons: the sad tone to several of the songs could be a turn-off for some I don’t know that I had ever listened to Mary Chapin Carpenter before I ran across Come Darkness, Come Light, the Christmas album she released in 2008. But thanks to Art Garfunkel, who covers her song Dreamland on ...

Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton Team Up for Once Upon a Christmas by bilbopooh Pros: Kenny's voice, Dolly's songwriting, mix of traditional and new songs
Cons: A Christmas to Remember grates on me a bit I’ve long considered myself a Kenny Rogers fan, so when I saw that my library had a Christmas album of his, I put it on hold. I didn’t realize until I picked it up that it was a joint effort with Dolly Parton; while I don’t ...

X-Communicated by breakbeet Pros: 'Finest Dreams'.

Is Wisin y Yandel's La Revolucion the Face of Reggaeton to Come? by mrkstvns Pros: A few power tracks with some interesting deviations from "same old reggaeton"
Cons: Some slow-moving dull, bland pop ballads If you've heard one reggaeton song, you've heard 'em all! There was a lot of truth to that belief for the first few years of reggaeton's short life as a latin music style. Almost everything you heard had strong hip-hop and Afro-Caribbean ...

When A Loath Affair Is Over by breakbeet Pros: Fragmented, weird production.
Cons: Fragmented, weird production. It's been said that in Radiohead's breakthrough single 'Creep', the guitar slashes just before the chorus ("I wish I was special." Kerrang kerrang) were the sounds of guitarist Jonny Greenwood trying to screw up an emo track he positively hated. It ended ...

"What it is, it ain't, and what it ain't, it is." by mcheadcase Pros: Atmosphere shows the potential that would gradually be built upon with future records.
Cons: A few weak beats from outside producers; the personal material is usually hit-or-miss. The Minnesota-based Rhymesayers Entertainment has been one of the most well-known indie record labels in the underground Hip-Hop scene. They've helped fill the creative void that Hip-Hop has lacked ever since the second half of the 90s. One thing ...

Cons: Self Pity, Victim Card Played Throughout, Disappointing Imagine you're a celebrity and you just beat up your girlfriend's face to oblivion, and that picture of her beaten, battered, and bruised leaked onto the Internet. How do you react? Well, in Chris Brown's case, he soullessly apologizes, gets an atrocious ...

Jay-Z's Less Ambitious State of Mind by snik1 Pros: Some great songs. It'll grow on you
Cons: Inconsistent, Jay is lazy, and a disappointing second half On Dayo’s essay on Jay-Z, Mike summed Jay up absolutely perfectly: I think Jay is a masterful MC-articulate in a way that Nas isn't...however, Jay's catalog is frustratingly inconsistent. For every classic he's dropped (Reasonable Doubt, ...

~~ VIEWS FROM THE BACKSEAT WITH PURE 80'S LOVE: THE #1 HITS ~~ by kbolton72 Pros: Good 80's tunes, good artists
Cons: Corney songs, too syrupy, artists clash The 80's. What a grand time! Of course, I was a middle/Jr high school student during them, so the music on this fun loving cd reflects my little crushes on Jon Bon Jovi, Corey Feldman and Joe Elliot! Them, and all the little boys who ignored me then and ...

What nice Eyes you have. by stevo71  Pros: Great lyrics, great music, great vocals. The drums on some songs are stellar.
Cons: It's nothing unique, but who cares about that? Paramore started off as a little band from Franklin, TN with the CD All We Know Is Falling. It was a good kick start, but what really got the band's wheels turning is RIOT, which is exactly what the album title calls it. They have become a ...
