Michael Jackson's This Is It Soundtrack - Is It Worth It? by roheblius Pros: Some cool demos
Cons: Songs you probably already have and a bland "new" single Did you know some of the highest selling albums of 2009 are old Michael Jackson catalog albums including Number Ones, Thriller, and The Essential Michael Jackson, which currently sit above all of the Beatles re-releases? If not, now ...

Looking for Musical GOLD? Seriously. by criteeker Pros: Miles Davis + John Lee Hooker + Taj Mahal et al = blended magic.
Cons: It ended and left me wanting much more. The soundtrack to the "The Hot Spot" is pure magic. Why? Two names: John Lee Hooker and Miles Davis. The legendary musicians Hooker and Davis never recorded an actual record together and that's a travesty. It's a ...

"Why then has all my life made no sound?"...Because your lyrics make no sense, Pete. by beekd91 Pros: Typical Chevelle: melodic hard rock with amazing vocals and addicting riffs.
Cons: As good as typical Chevelle may be, it's still typical. The lyrics border on nonsensical. Chevelle has had a fairly interesting progression over the years, especially considering how much of a disaster Point #1 was. I (and a good chunk of America) fell in love with their next album, ...

Fun and Lively Cannonball by poojalooba_cow Pros: Fun, lively, energetic recording of the Cannonball Quintet at its best.
Cons: The booze-loosened crowd makes some pretty annoying noise and claps along with the music. Cannonball Adderley's most popular album was not actually recorded "Live at the Club" (the Club DeLisa in Chicago), as the cover says. It was recorded at Capitol Records' Hollywood Studio with an invited audience supplied with free booze. ...

Love, Angel, Music, Baby from Gwen Stefani by msbunnylicious Pros: good music, good singing
Cons: bad lyrics Gwen Stefani's first solo album, LAMB - love, angel, music, and baby - is a very fun listen. The lyrics are not particularly creative, but the tracks sound good nonetheless and have a quality about them that was new and interesting at the ...

Whats Leona's best kept secret????// Best Kept Secret from Leona Lewis by msbunnylicious Pros: good vocals, nice sound similar to that of the 90's
Cons: unmemorable lyrics Upon reading the brief insert that accompanied the album, I received the impression that Best Kept Secret by Leona Lewis was never intended to be released. There are hints in the music itself as well, the tracks not quite as polished as one would ...

Josh Groban Turns His Masterful Voice to Christmas With Noel by bilbopooh Pros: glorious voice, contributions of several talented musicians, messages from soldiers

The Diana Ross Wannabe Does It Again.....Sadly by guy922 Pros: I can somewhat stomach a few of the ballads.
Cons: Everything else is a disaster, not as cutting-edge as it would suggest. Beyonce Knowles is probably one of the most overexposed celebrities on today’s pop music scene. Fans and critics alike are drawn to her fiery persona and her infectious musical fluff. Anytime she releases an album it usually eclipses whatever ...

It Rocks,But Not In Any Memorable Way: "Bridges To Babylon" Is More Average Than Extraordinary. by wlswarts Pros: Well-produced, Some decent tunes that rock
Cons: Very average vocals and lyrics There was a joke on "The Drew Carey Show" some years back when one of the albums from The Rolling Stones came out that I truly liked, even though I didn't know much about the band at that point. The friends are hanging around and one of them becomes ...

Freddy Fender’s Swan Song – Close to my Heart by scapp70 Pros: Covers are interesting, nice twists on some of them
Cons: He’s dead, this CD is already almost discontinued Freddy Fender has had a career that has basically remained in the discount racks, and in the shadow of bigger musicians, even now at three years after his death (d. 10/14/2006). Five years ago, I only knew of Freddy as a punchline in a ...

A Case of Martians in the ear – and Dracula’s in there, too by amfunee Pros: Entertaining story-telling, with good performances and excellent sound effects

_The Tango Saloon:_ and not your typical tangos either! by telynor Pros: Very different and not your typical dance album!

I found this cd whilst searching through Amazon's database of tango music, and decided to give it a chance. I've gotten interested enough in the music of Tango that I'm willing to listen to any ...
