I gotta date with the night and a fever to tell.
by tjhassecrets

Sublime [PA] by Sublime (Rock)
Some Great Songs and Some Not So Great Songs
by groove1
Pros: The songs that are good are very good.
Cons: The songs that are bad are not very good :)
When I first heard Sublime's "What I Got" from this, their third and self-titled full length CD in the mid 1990s, I did not like it.  I don't know why I didn't like but it just seemed to get on my nerves so I didn't listen to any of their other ...

Thriller [Remaster] by Michael Jackson
He started something, alright.
by curryjacket14
Pros: It's a timeless album filled with pumping songs of love and paranoia.
Cons: A couple of the ballads don't "cut it" for me.
Okay, so I've owned songs off of this album in digital form for over a year now- all except "P.Y.T" and "The Lady In My Life", which are two of my least favorite cuts on the album. Recently, however, I finally got around to buying a hard copy of this ...

New Magnetic Wonder by The Apples in Stereo

Pros: Just a load of great, heavily orchestrated ELO-like pop songs.
Cons: I don't understand the purpose of those cluttery small tracks.

Critical Beatdown by Ultramagnetic MC's

Ultramagnetic MCs is a hip-hop group from the Bronx section of New York. The members are MC/producer Ced Gee, DJ/producers Moe Luv and TR Love plus of course the main rapper and hip-hop's biggest weirdo, Kool Keith. 1988 was a big year in hip-hop and ...

Foiled by Blue October
The Album That Spawned The Spin-offs, “Foiled” By Blue October Still Rocks.
by wlswarts
Pros: Generally good lyrics, Decent, independent sound
Cons: There are more complete versions on the market.
One of the nice things about being married for me has to be how I keep discovering new and different things and how my partner and I are able to share things we like with one another. In my case, because my partner moved from Michigan to live with me ...

Health & Efficiency by This Heat
Clean, convenient, and friendly- here's a difference you'll enjoy
by pyfr
Pros: As was/is the case with all of their stuff, it's hard to pin down.
Cons: For a band that delighted in challenging listeners, this is a low point.
Because nobody else on the planet seems to have any interest in writing reviews of This Heat, I guess I'll take it upon my shoulders to churn out another one. After this one, all that's left is the box set. The good news about this release, ...

We're still at odds in the middle of the afternoon.
by divad23
Pros: The theme of conflict is explored well; nice to hear musical references back to (m)orning.
Cons: The segues and jam sessions take up a bit more space than they need to.
Have you ever made New Year's resolutions, and done your best to keep them throughout the year, only to be stymied by unforeseen circumstances? The members of Mae must be feeling a bit of the disappointment that comes with the realization of a ...

How to Be a Lady, Vol. 1 [PA] by Electrik Red
Someone Needs to Pay the Power Bill...The Wattage on this Electricity is Low
by insomniac1587
Pros: some of the nicest production I've heard in a while
Cons: inauthentic, vulgar just to draw attention, too long, faux feminist
With the break-up of Making the Band alum Danity Kane, the "hiatus" of burlesque quintet Pussycat Dolls, and the shadow of Destiny's Child lingering, there's been a noticeable lack of girl groups in pop/r&b. It seems that since the Houston ...

Cons: One song is not good.
