An Anthology by Angel (USA)
ANGEL AN ANTHOLOGY an early 90s compilation with 20 of the band’s songs
by scapp70
Pros: some good inclusions; some non-album inclusions
Cons: too much from Angel (debut); I would have chosen a couple of different tracks.
.   Angel, a glam/prog rock band from the 1970s, their story was one of a constant uphill struggle as they just couldn’t break through that ceiling of success. They had a great image; all dressed in heavenly white to ...

Feels Like Rain by Buddy Guy
Who's Your Blues Buddy, Guy?
by criteeker
Pros: Guy's voice & guitar prowess, variety of tunes, great guest musicians
Cons: couple tracks are sub-par and Bonnie Raitt's appearance is too short
If you've ever seen George "Buddy" Guy in concert, you know what the true meaning of showmanship truly is. His brand of in-your-face Chicago Blues is packed with endless energy and really is downright amusing... Especially for a performer who will be ...

Revolver by The Beatles
Accessible and Experimental... Rare Combination
by akasashinai
Pros: Beautiful, Innovative, a true classic
Cons: none
There is always such a challenge in approaching classic albums in reviews.  Statuses are firmly cemented, opinions are firmly planted, and it is hard to write something fresh.  Nonetheless, I continue on my quest through the Beatles' ...

Another Tom Waits classic - Bad as Me (Deluxe Edition)
by shopaholic_man
Pros: Tom Waits is back with 16 new tales of despair in his unique voice.
Cons: Some people may not appreciate Tom Waits aged whiskey soaked sandpaper voice.
Everyone loves a singer with a golden voice. From Frank Sinatra to Chris Isaac, a silky smooth voice seems to draw fans. However, others have slightly different tastes. Some like a singer that goes down as smooth as straight scotch. A singer that sounds ...

I [EP] by Meshuggah
What am "I" listening to?!
by dangbro
Pros: Tight guitars, intriguing lyrics, awesome drum work, 21 minutes of pure insanity
Cons: I think it is too short (joke)
Meshuggah is probably one of the most insane, technical, and creative metal bands out there. It is almost impossible to coin a term that suits their style. Luckily their lead guitarist Fredrik Thordendal came up with the word “Djent” which is ...

Elmopalooza! by Sesame Street
Not What I'd Hoped For
by photomommy44
Pros: Some of my favorite singers
Cons: Voices were wasted on lackluster songs
"Elmopalooza" seems like it's trying to be something that crosses Sesame Street songs with artists parents also enjoy in the same vein as Sandra Boynton's "Philadelphia Chickens."  If that is its aim, it fails miserably.  The Sesame Street ...

Dreamtime [Remaster] by The Stranglers
The Stranglers Aboriginal Album - Dreamtime
by shopaholic_man
Pros: Great songs mellow riffs
Cons: A bit too generic for the Stranglers, not enough of their trademark sound.
One group in my collection that doesn't quite fit in with my other musical tastes is the distinct sound of British post punk band, The Stranglers. They first hit my rader when I heard their song, Golden Brown on the soundtrack to Guy ...

Fathering by Mark Mulcahy
Comfortably Soothing Like a Warm Embrace.
by dangbro
Pros: Deep and meaningful lyrics, great vocals, clean and catchy guitar, relatable content.
Cons: "Fathering" track is uncomfortably strange, bonus track is multi-lingual gibberish.
Fathering is Mark Mulcahy’s very first solo album released in 1997. If you don’t know who Mulcahy is (which is probably most of you) he is the former front man of the Connecticut based band Miracle Legion.  Unknowingly you may know him ...

Saturday Night Wrist [PA] by Deftones

by theycallmepNew Member
Pros: Experimental, Atmospheric
Cons: The songs are very hit or miss, Overall album flow
Following the release of their self-titled album in 2003, the Deftones again faced the difficult challenge of reinventing themselves. However, this time they would do it without their friend and long time producer Terry Date who helped the Deftones craft ...

Pros: Improved vocals, no weak tracks
Cons: None
After releasing their debut album Adrenaline in 1995, the Deftones headed into the studio to try and top their previous success as most bands often do. However, most bands do not inadvertently help pioneer a genre (whether you love it or hate it) ...

Blue Drops of Rain by Corey Stevens
Stevie Ray Vaughan - version 2.0
by criteeker
Pros: Love Stevie Ray Vaughan? This guy's a carbon copy - same style and same sound
Cons: He's a carbon copy of a master - some might not take him seriously
I was first treated to this man's music a couple years after the far too sudden death of Stevie Ray Vaughan. SRV died on my birthday in 1990 and that was the WORST birthday I've ever endured.One night, a few friends and I were in a ...

Pros: Occasionally the songs are somewhat recognizable; one *almost* works.
Cons: The songs are still ruined.
From the liner notes:"In these modern times, we find ourselves in a world where life is a roller coaster of high wire expectations and inevitable nose-dive disappointments.  It is no wonder so many people have turned to pharmaceuticals as ...

There's No 666 In Outer Space [Digipak] by Hella
Hella Does the Prog-Rock Shuffle with THERE'S NO 666 IN OUTER SPACE
by xxxxer
Pros: Intriguing as further experimentation and tweaking of Hella's basic sound; it's noisy and loud
Cons: Seems kind of derivative instead of original; no true standout tracks
California-based experimental noise duo Hella has made a career out of switching things up with nearly every release.  The core of the mainly instrumental band, guitarist Spencer Siem and drummer Zach Hill, has remained the same since the band was ...

The hit NBC television series Smash, was one of the best surprises of last season. The story line revolves around the making of a Marilyn Monroe themed Broadway musical, and the meticulous, and often messy, step by step process of bringing ...

Absolution by Muse
Muse at their best
by ca11umNew Member
Pros: Original sound with a mix of amazing guitar riffs, piano melodies and basslines. 
Cons: Some songs, particularly at the end seem to be a bit weaker 
Muse’s 3rd studio album, released in 2003 is, in my opinion, Muse’s best album, combining their unique futuristic rock sound with a more mature finish. This album brought them into the mainstream and to the forefront of rock music at the time ...

Lightning Bolt by Lightning Bolt
Noisy Duo LIGHTNING BOLT Set Phasers to Kill On Their Self-Titled Debut

Pros: More accurate representation of the band's live sound; really noisy and trance-like at times
Cons: Lengthy pieces may be indigestible for some listeners; quite unlike later, more polished LB albums
I've been a fan of all things Lightning Bolt for quite some time.  They're a group that a listener would likely either love to pieces or think was complete garbage, since their music consists of little more than bassist Brian Gibson delivering crazy ...
