Restore Yourself to Desktop by breakbeet Pros: Let's flip some freakin cars!!!
Cons: Lyrics aren't exactly poetry. A radio show I enjoy listening to has a little segment halfway through its 2 hour duration titled "So Bad, It's Good!" If it was an electronic instead of a goth rock show, I can't help but feel they would have played Atari Teenage Riot at some point. ...

"Last of the Mohicans Soundtrack" A Great Movie Made Better With Great Music. by Pandemonium Pros: Some beautiful orchestra play and some very romantic themes.
Cons: Some songs tend be a little repetitive with others with small changes. The best word to describe the soundtrack to the movie The Last of the Mohicans" is simply "beautiful". I have always said that a good movie can only be great if it has a great soundtrack to accompany it. Well, this movie does and it is a great ...

There was never any good old days/They are today by GregRadiohead Pros: An excellent CD/live DVD set for fans and curious onlookers
Cons: None There are many anecdotes about The Minutemen encountering orthodox punks who hated their music and argued that they weren't really punk. With their funk, reggae, and even some Latin influences, The Mintutemen didn't sound like The Ramones or hardcore ...

The Mix CD That Started a Great Series by groove1 Pros: Track selection is solid. Mixing is good. Still enjoyable 10 years later.
Cons: None. Little did Dutch DJ Tiesto know when he released this mix CD that the series would become a staple in the electronic dance music community. Released in Europe in 1999 and in 2001 in North America, this CD helped propel him to worldwide fame and ...

The Perfect Reinterpretation Of A Song (And Another Pop Number): "I Want You" Is Incredible. by wlswarts Pros: Amazing vocals, Great reinterpretation of "I Want You," Decent instrumental accompaniment
Cons: SHORT, "Live And Let Love" gets tiresome With my many reviews of c.d. singles lately, I have gotten a few people asking me "What does it take for you to recommend a single and to rate it above three stars?!" My answer, usually, is "A perfect song." So, with that ridiculously high standard in ...

Retro Mandy by ecn71270 Pros: Mandy's frequently spunky vocals and intelligent songwriting (with a little help from some good friends).
Cons: Minor quibble: lack of liner notes detailing backing musicians' roles. AMANDA LEIGH—Mandy Moore In the times in which we live, being an entertainment idol, more so than in previous decades, has become a leaden weight that so many either seem unable to shake so as to become better at what they do, or ...

Unexpected? More Like Unnecessary by insomniac1587 Pros: vocals are still solid, Maybe, a few moments that give you hope
Cons: Tell Me, complete identity crisis, all over the place, feels very artificial You know a trend has evaporated once your mom, dad, aunts, or anyone else in your family starts picking up on it. It may sound cruel or somewhat elitist but if something becomes so pervasive that it trickles down to those who you wouldn't expect, it may ...

The Absolute Right Music For The Apocalypse by ecn71270 Pros: Bombastic and brash, but emotionally subtle elsewhere--exactly what this cataclysmic opus requires.
Cons: Filter's heavy metal bombast on "Fades Like A Photograph" is a bit excessive. 2012—soundtrack The mega-disaster, end-of-times opus 2012, directed by Roland Emmerich, showed everyone with frightening accuracy (and at extremely great expense) what the end of the world would look like, using basically every ...

"I feel like dust, lighter than air, winged by the smallest prayer...destination anywhere" by blindsider Pros: The sound is simply massive; Marco Hietala's unmistakable, crazy voice; nice variety
Cons: A few songs are a bit boring It's hard to go wrong with metal from Finland. And even though they formed over 25 years ago, I actually discovered Tarot by route of Nightwish, the successful female-fronted band Tarot's lead vocalist Marco Hietala has done bass and ...

DeLonge Blasts Off To New Heights by JiggyJay Pros: A great collection of songs, concept, and atmosphere
Cons: Pretty much Blink-182 in space... After the release of pop/punk trio Blink-182's mature self-titled record in 2003, things weren't as fun or calm under the surface of the band. In 2005, the lead singer/guitarist Tom DeLonge announced his departure from the band to start up his own ...

Adolescent summoning rituals by GregRadiohead Pros: An above average amalgam of Pacific Northwest-style indie rock
Cons: Not terribly original or truly exceptional The subject of originality is one that fascinates me. Even those things that you think of as coming out of the blue and having no none touchstones are usually just influenced by obscure things you've never heard of. Or anyway, it'll turn out to be a case ...

~~ FALL IN LOVE WITH A VERY SPECIAL CHRISTMAS 3 ~~ by kbolton72 Pros: Beautiful music, positive charity, good balance
Cons: Not in circulation, not sure if it still raises money from purchase Not every year do I get into the full Christmas swing of things, there are times where I am just too stressed to even focus on the meaning, the reason for the season. Giving and gratitude can get sucked out of you with the anxiety ridden shopping sprees ...

Throw Momma From The Window: The Musical by pyfr Pros: I'm convinced that this man could dress up twenty plus minutes better than anybody.
Cons: The bleakest Fela tracks I've heard yet. He was having a hard time coping here. I think we can all agree that having a thousand soldiers raid one's home and toss one's parent out a window could prove to be a life-changing experience. Fortunately, most of us will never know for sure, but for anybody who wants to see what such an ...

Belinda takes off her make-up and thows on some jeans: Real. by tjhassecrets Pros: A new sound for Belinda Carlisle that's still so, so her. She songwrites!
Cons: Some dull moments. Underrated. =We've saidAll we can sayExcept our last "Goodnight."= For somebody with a remarkably cohesive career musically, Belinda Carlisle seems to be rather inconsistent with her fan base. I’ve heard some not-so-nice ...

"Hunger Pains": Bekay brings new meaning to the term 'starving artist'. by mcheadcase Pros: Bekay steps it up in all areas: he's on point lyrically, production-wise, and topically.
Cons: A few moments of redundancy brings this record down a notch or two. "Industry rule number 4080: record company people are shady!" - Q-Tip, "Check the Rhime" The music industry is notorious for being full of shifty executives who do nothing but exploit the artists and leave them with nothing ...

Abandoning Reason For Madness...Or, At Least, Jazz For Pop: "The Fall" By Norah Jones. by wlswarts Pros: Rich pop instrumental accompaniment, Decent-enough vocals
Cons: Overproduced, Short, Unmemorable lyrics Continuing with the idea that you can't please everyone, I think it's time to acknowledge two things: 1. Musical artists are not bound by any law, rule or more that demands that they must work in the musical genre we first hear them in for the length of ...

Timbaland's "Shock Value 2": (Not Quite) Shockingly Awful by speeddemon531 Pros: Esthero might get a little mainstream exposure from performing on this disc.
Cons: Her appearances here are best compared to finding money in a pile of poo. What was I thinking when I decided to plunk down my (relatively) hard-earned ten bucks on Timbaland's new album? Not sure now, but after giving "Shock Value 2" a handful of listens, I can almost guarantee that this will be the last time I blow a Hamilton ...

The Ropers's Self-Titled EP Showcases Another Glorious (and Forgotten) Slumberland Records Band by xxxxer Pros: Six fun and lively tunes
Cons: This EP is pretty brief and left me wanting more While mainstream rock during the early 1990s was dominated by grungy and angsty tunes played by scruffy looking bands, indie rock label Slumberland Records churned out dozens of vivacious, poppy and noisy groups that delivered some of the decade's best ...

Are you Fearless? by stevo71  Pros: Fun music, infectious sound and good vocals.
Cons: Love Story and The Best Day don't offer much. Trite lyrics, sameness. If Taylor Swift's debut CD didn't put her on the map, this album definitely does. She has won virtually every big award for this album, and it recently went Platinum (a special release of the album was released as a result). Swift has everything going in ...
