Jack White Gets Dirty With the Dead Weather by thevoid99 Pros: Production, Performance, Musicianship, Versatile Styles, Dylan Cover, Lyrics, & Vocals.
Cons: Not Up to Par with Jack White's Other Projects. While known as the vocalist/guitarist/keyboardist for the White Stripes, Jack White is one of rock's most prolific and adventurous musicians to come out of the 21st Century. While leading the White Stripes, White also worked with other artists ...

The Guiltiest of Pleasures: Cobra Starship's Hot Mess by beekd91 Pros: Audible cotton candy--no substance, but man, is it fun to consume!
Cons: I'm wondering how long I can stomach the lack of substance. A few dull songs. As a music critic (in the loosest sense of the title), I’m supposed to value music with substance. I’m supposed to fawn over artists who innovate, blending genres and weird time signatures. I’m supposed to love lyricists who write songs ...

THE SWINDLE CONTINUES...You Got That Right! by xxxxer Pros: Good recording quality; some alternative elements to the familiar tracks
Cons: How many times can various record producers release the same material from this group? ***Author's Note - Apparently, there are a couple different versions of this compilation album floating around, one of which is an import version containing various recordings by "The Ex Pistols," a group formed by producer Dave Goodman to capitalize on ...

"Brown sugar, ice in our veins..." - The Chameleons' Strange Times by teamfreak16 Pros: A near-perfect guitar pop album
Cons: The Chameleons are tragically one of rock's more under-appreciated bands A lot of stellar bands came out of Manchester (Joy Division/New Order, The Smiths to name a couple) in the 1980’s. The Chameleons (known as Chameleons UK stateside) were a band deserving of mention alongside those heavy hitters, although they never ...

The Bizarro Companion to DON'T WAKE ME UP: WINDOW by The Microphones by xxxxer Pros: It's definitely unique and quite artistic
Cons: Definitely too experimental both in song composition and album construction for most listeners Immediately following the release of Don't Wake Me Up for K Records in 1999, The Microphones head-man/mastermind Phil Elverum set about preparing the companion piece for another indie label. Window would be a sort of expansion and ...

Summertime, soak up the sunshine with you by GregRadiohead Pros: A brilliant modern update on 60s California pop
Cons: None It's an interesting coincidence that within a year of each other, we got two excellent albums by bands named Women and Girls. What's more, they both show an affinity, if not slavish dedication, to the sound of 60s music. Where Women traced out a noisy ...

Britney Proves That She Is Ultimately A Singles Artist. by glvrican Pros: Some Strong Tunes, "Everytime" Remains Her Only Artistic Tune
Cons: Hardly Any Contribution To Anything, Enjoyable But Still Filler Has it been a full decade since Brit hit the scene with her pig tails and slutty catholic look? Why, I think it has! Ever since Ms. Spears revitalized bubblegum pop into the mainstream, she's been an unstoppable source, churning hits such as "...Baby ...

Robin Thicke's "Sex Therapy": Wait a Minute, You're Not Dr. Ruth by speeddemon531 Pros: Robin plays the contemporary R&B game better than most. Jay-Z and Snoop aren't bad.
Cons: A couple of lame retreads, idiotic interludes, and the dreadful "Shakin' it for Daddy". It had to happen. I mean, its not like Robin Thicke hasn't been successful these past couple of years. Since breaking through in 2007 with "Lost Without U", the soul crooner has amassed a fairly large audience. However, his success has definitely been in ...

Celtic Christmas III: A Windham Hill Sampler by serc Pros: beautiful, evocative music

Come on…come on…come on in to Rihanna’s mad house. by Monnie1976 Pros: Brilliant use of personal chaos to make a powerful album, Rihanna is compelling and captivating
Cons: "Te Amo" is only okay. Its a heavy album. Rihanna exploded onto the scene in 2005 with her dancehall smash “Pon De Replay”. The hits kept coming with “S.O.S.”, a dancehall anthem which samples the classic eighties hit “Tainted Love” and ...

LADY GAGA’S ‘MONSTER’ IS A REQUIEM FOR HER FEARS by kinglear Pros: It's a concise album. Short, but no filler.
Cons: "Speechless" & "Teeth" don't fit the 80s vibe of the album. Lady Gaga has said that her new EP, The Fame: Monster is about letting go of the past in order to move on to the future. Despite transforming into the superstar icon that she is today Gaga admits that there are still remnants of self-doubt, but she’s ...

Terrorize your speakers! by jackiechad Pros:
good themes, layered sound Cons: some weaker tracks with the good ones Like most people I've never heard of Terror Tract. I'm also not too familiar with Brian Tyler, the composer. What got my attention was seeing him compared to the likes of Danny Elfman. I love Danny so I figured someone in that same vein might ...

Duo at their highest concentration level by hstisgod Pros: Soothing subtleties
Cons: Lack of experimentation with one guest appearance vocals. To say, 'Review Rodrigo Y Gabriela is intimidating at best. To say even more basically, they are an 'acquired taste' is an understatement. Not because the music is so different, but because you're in such awe of the ability being played in your ears. The ...

A Fond Farewell From A Friend by JiggyJay Pros: Experimental and beautiful, lyrically haunting, every song is flawless

The Only Elevata Robin Thicke is on is Goin' Down...Way...Way Down... by insomniac1587 Pros: 2 Luv Birds, Diamonds, some great melodies, Jazmine Sullivan's back-up vocals
Cons: too guest-heavy, Thicke becomes a parody of himself, not original enough If your career was on the line, would you change who you are? We've all seen those movies based on the music industry that show the wily veteran artist being forced to succumb to trends and record label pressure in order to maximize their bottom line. ...

Kitschy Fun Song, Ridiculous Single, “Under The Water” Is Almost Worth Picking Up! by wlswarts Pros: Decent vocals, Fun lyrics, Interesting sound

As a result, it was absolutely no surprise to me when I learned that I am the only one to review Merril Bainbridge’s two albums "The ...

Gentle believer, how deep is your faith? Andy Bell's "Electric Blue" by tjhassecrets Pros: Some really catchy dance music.
