SCOTT LAFARO: YE LEFT US TOO SOON by mike.holmes Pros: Beautiful playing, historical interview
Cons: Sad that this was not released earlier Scott LeFaro was born in 1936 into a musical family. His father played with several big bands. Scott started out on piano and also learned how to play the bass clarinet and saxophone before he decided to switch to the double ...

Mediocre - Decent but Tiesto Can Do and Has Done Much Better by groove1 Pros: Second half of the first cd, the second cd is listenable
Cons: Not perefectly mixed. Track selection is not stellar. First few songs on cd one. I've reviewed a few of the other mix cd's from the "In Search of Sunrise" series by Tiesto. The ones I've reviewed so far I have personally liked. However, the In Search of Sunrise 5 cd is mediocre and at times messy. First, let ...

Megadeth? More like "Meh"gadeth by metal_panda Pros: "Mastermind", "Disintegrators", "She Wolf"
Cons: Megadeth seems to be playing on valium The cover artwork for Cryptic Writings is nothing more than a bland test pattern on a solid grey backdrop (or black if you weren't one of the first 500,000 to buy it). Sadly, the blandness of the artwork is parallel to the music imprinted on ...

Pleasant, If Not Essential 'Deth by metal_panda Pros: "Reckoning Day", "Victory", "Blood of Heroes"
Cons: "The Killing Road", the feeling that Megadeth sold themselves short By 1994, Megadeth were fairly well-established, and had begun to taste commercial success with 1990's Countdown to Extinction. Expectations were mixed depending on who you talked to - many diehards felt Countdown was a slap in the ...

In Case You Haven't Bought Yet...The Two-disc "The Singles Collection" Is Mildly Better. by wlswarts Pros: The full "Britney" Package is adequately displayed, One additional track.
Cons: Still pretty lame music, Music videos are also repetitive. Today marks the release of the third and, presumably, final Britney Spears collection which will celebrate her ten year anniversary with Jive Records. All three recordings or collections are called "The Singles Collection" and while the first and ...

I've Solved the Mystery: It Was John Legend With the Evolver in My Headphones by insomniac1587 Pros: a look at what an already good artist is capable of, still retains his identity
Cons: some failed experiments, lack of cohesion makes it difficult to digest as a whole Change sucks. I'll be the first to admit that, in my personal life, change is something that I try not to allow. Well, at least without fair warning and enough time to plan for the impact it'll have. It's hard, it's scary, and it's something that time ...

It's all so sugarless: Hooker-Waitress-Model-Actress by tjhassecrets Pros: It's just a generally great album.
Cons: Some generic "rock band" moments. = Oh, the boys on the radio They crash and burn They fade so slow In your endless summer nights I'll be on the other side = A precursor to her years as a corporate ...

DON'T WAKE ME UP - Send me Someplace Far Away... by xxxxer Pros: An unusual and immersing forty minute journey
Cons: Maybe too rough and/or unconventional for some listeners From the opening moments of The Microphones's second full-length record, one becomes aware that Phil Elvrum (who is, for all intents and purposes, the "band) is trying to send the listener to a fuzzed-out, dreamy wonderland. The sonic textures on ...

I'm mad about Belinda! ...And sort of this collection, too! by tjhassecrets Pros: Belinda's voice; it will satsify casual fans just fine.
Cons: Where's Runaway Horses? Uh...not all of these were hits... = Darling leave a light on for me! I’ll be there before you close the door To give you all the love that you need… = I rock quite a few different mp3 players, and I’ve owned somewhere ...

We met at the opera...hey, boy! by tjhassecrets Pros: Possibly Freddie's best vocal performance; some very emotional songs.

A "Toxic" Single Opens My Final Day Of Reviewing Works By Britney Spears! by wlswarts Pros: Mildly interesting song
Cons: Overproduced, Duration, Insipid remixes that are just terrible. I've hit my limit on the works of Britney Spears the day she has released the third and final version of her current attempt to cash in on her celebrity with "The Singles Collection," which has now taken three forms and pushed me back to my shelves to ...

"Both of us knew how the ending would be" - The Cure's Disintegration by teamfreak16 Pros: A gorgeous album about the end of a relationhip
Cons: It might be a little too depressing for some Sometimes uncommon in an act with such longevity, The Cure has been the mark of consistency. Thanks to leader Robert Smith’s (guitars, vocals) uncanny knack for crafting dependable pop songs, The Cure has put out a stellar body of work since ...

Positively Excellent by PacManY2J Pros: Fun, energetic rock with interesting storytelling
Cons: Vocals can be a bit lethargic It's hard to be negative when you're a critically acclaimed outfit that gets compared to classic rockers like Bruce Springsteen & the E. Street Band. Fittingly, the fourth studio album from Brooklyn's The Hold Steady is titled Stay ...

P!nk – Funhouse: Oh P!nk, I had you all wrong by scapp70 Pros: Everything here; the music, the lyrics and the passion
Cons: I swallowed my pride . When P!nk first appeared inside my consciousness almost 10 years ago, she immediately personified the kind of person I enjoy avoiding in my life. A tattooed-partying, possibly diseased, hardcore b*tch is my natural adversary. ...

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 ...

~~ 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 ...

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, ...

How do you react? Well, in Chris Brown's case, he soullessly apologizes, gets an atrocious ...

"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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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

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
