I have never been more impressed by someone i once loathed by rapfan Pros: IMPROVEMENT in lyrical delivery, complexity, flow, message, meanings. Solid Production.
Cons: A few guest spots and OH! THE ARROGANCE! Whew! TI! Now i'll be the first to admit i really could care less about TI when he first came out. Or at least when i first heard him on MTV. Oh no! Another arrogant, unintelligent, southern rapper? He was always better then most southern rappers. I just ...

Cool Tracks, but a Waste: Lords of Acid's TAKE CONTROL Single by xxxxer Pros: Two fantastic dance cuts...
Cons: That have been previously released in the same versions that appear on this single Belgian House group Lords of Acid have always been a guilty pleasure for me. Upon first listening to the band, I was struck by their bumpin' beats, but amused by the ridiculously sexual and drug-oriented lyrics that would be spoken or sung over the ...

Illinois's Debut EP asks WHAT THE HELL DO I KNOW by xxxxer Pros: Generally well-written, containing several relaxing and gentle poppy tracks
Cons: The album is short and the final track is a throw-away Illinois is a band that I've been following for a long time, having seen them perform live several times in the Philadelphia area. Therefore, I was excited to hear that they had released an EP on an indie label and have since gone on to major ...

"Circus" Is Not The Worst Of Britney Spears, But It's Still Not Worth Listening To. by wlswarts Pros: Moments when vocals actually seem natural, Some catchy tunes
Cons: Overproduced, Short, Derivative sound, Repetitive, Largely terrible lyrics It seems I have somehow gotten sucked into listening to the music of Britney Spears as November comes to a close. Go figure. I am not exactly sure how that happened, but it seems that it has. What is even more strange is that as I listen to some of it, I ...

Decent Live Album, Mediocre Use Of Medium: Peter, Paul And Mary "In Concert" Flounders. by wlswarts Pros: Good vocals, Decent lyrics, Entertaining
Cons: Short, Irksome conversational tracks. For those who do not follow my music reviews, "live" albums tend to have a tough time surviving under my pen. My main gripes with most "live" albums are either that the artist tends to try to convince the listener that the recording is live with ...

Louis’ Wild Kingdom by amfunee Pros: Louis’ up-beat and fun renditions of standard pop tunes
Cons: Some occasionally overheated shtick “Baby, baby, looks like it’s gonna hail!” Bouncing about with swing beats, Dixieland brass, and a raspy boom-boom voice, Louis Prima jumps, jives and wails, his pepped-up orchestra, featuring saxophonist Sam Butera and the Witnesses, ...

Amy Grant Goes Full Country for Her Second Hymns Release by carstairs38 Pros: "Carry You" and another couple tracks
Cons: Way too Country for most of her fans to enjoy There seems to be some unwritten rule that contemporary and pop artists who decide to release a hymns project must go country to do it. Amy Grant fell into that trap slightly with her first hymns release, but she runs into it with arms wide open ...

~~ JOHNNY CASH IS HERE TO BRING OUT YOUR CHRISTMAS SPIRIT ~~ by kbolton72 Pros: Gorgeous Cash voice, beautiful songs, comforting
Cons: None, other than the tone never changing much... Even as adults, we need lullabies. We need soft, soothing, strong voices that secure us and hold us close. Anyone who has grown up with or has been a fan of Johnny Cash knows that his gift to the universe was that gritty, sandy, sultry voice of ...

Cons: There haven't been enough Johnny Nicholas records produced as yet. Johnny Nicholas has been playing music for the past 30 years and has never produced a bomb.

John Mayer's "Battle Studies": We Are Young...Heartache to Heartache We Stand by speeddemon531 Pros: The songwriting is still strong, with "Assassin" and "Heartbreak Warfare" being highlights.
Cons: A couple of songs suggest Mayer on autopilot, album is too laidback as a whole. At my job, we always talk about managing expectations. Making sure people are aware that we can't give them the world on a silver platter every time. However, sometimes you set a standard so high that you get compared unrealistically (and unfairly) to ...

The MINI ALBUM By The Sex Pistols is a Good Bet for Fans by xxxxer Pros: Alternate versions here show off a more refined and experimental side of the band
Cons: The disc is brief and contains (all-too) familiar tracks Since the band was only in existence for enough time to release one proper album that would turn the world of rock and roll on its head, numerous bootlegs and alternate recordings of the notorious Sex Pistols have seen release since the band split in ...

McCartney gives you his best …Paul McCartney – All The Best! by scapp70 Pros: It’s a pretty good ‘greatest’ package, pretty much up-to-date, lyrics included
Cons: CMoon, this package sounds too lite FM Paul McCartney is one of the few who need no introduction. Either you know him, or you're probably dead. Paul McCartney has written many hit songs in his long career, whether he's been in The Beatles, Wings or as a solo artist. He has ...

A Fire Burns Today, of Blasphemy and Genocide by divad23 Pros: Love the progressive and classic rock influence - it's American Idiot gone schizo.
Cons: A bit harsh on the "religious right". "21 Guns" is criminally generic. Is a band ever too old to write noisy songs that promote a "screw the system" sort of attitude? The members of Green Day don't seem to think so. The fact that there's debate over what bands who play the kind of music they play (essentially poppy ...
