Celebrate the 80s the right way in the Decade of Duran Duran. by tjhassecrets Pros: Great collection of 80s hits from Duran Duran, especially for beginners; little to no remixing!
Cons: The album's only new single is missing; nothing here for hardcore fans. You didn't think I was done, did you?The way Duran Duran operates as a band is weird. In my eyes, they always provide cohesive album after cohesive album, picking a genre or a style and making sure it's the only one through-out the record. ...

Classic Sinatra II: You've Heard the Best, Now Hear the Rest by DrFaustus Pros: Sinatra's classic voice at the height of his musical prowess
Cons: very few of the tracks are must-have hits The recent passing of Michael Jackson has got me thinking about musical superstars. A few years ago I would have thought that there would always be someone around making music that the whole world could unite around. Recent years, though, have seen the ...

A Second Collection Shows Off More of Rich Mullins' Great Songs by carstairs38 Pros: More great songs from a gifted song writer
Cons: A few tracks that don't hit the other's high standards I am always torn when it comes to best of collections for artists I love. Usually, I don't need the disc. This is especially true in a case like Songs 2 where there are no new songs. And yet, I wind up buying and enjoying them ...

Read a Compelling, Albeit Slightly Bogged-Down, “Diary” by balogun Pros: Severely underrated G-Funk production, Scarface’s high-caliber emceeing and gripping introspection.
Cons: Take out the good points, and you have a generic gangsta rap album. Take it from me: Scarface could have done without The Geto Boys. At best, the group is a tad overrated, being essentially a Southern version of N.W.A., but even more outrageous. (Trust me, they make the crew from Compton sound like choir boys – try ...

Bey gets you bodied with lots of yelling........ B' Day from Beyoncé by funniebunny Pros: lots of energy, good singing
Cons: too much intensity, over singing, shouting, yelling soon becomes obnoxious Beyoncé is an honest to goodness good singer; her big, pretty urban voice is vibrant with a lot of range. But sometimes.... a lot of the times, she over does herself, overabundance of intensity exploding from her vocals. There ...

!Música Impresionante de Rodrigo y Gabriela! by PacManY2J Pros: Energetic instrumental music
Cons: "Stairway" cover is cool but may be a little strange for some I don't listen to much instrumental music except when I'm doing something that requires concentration such as reading. Sure, I appreciate jazz, electronic, classical, and many other types of wordless music, but I usually go for songs with ...

Flowology 101 by trey_stone Pros: Smooth, intricate Dr. Dre production and Snoop back when he was really that good.
Cons: Few bland tracks. To me, hip hop -- and really music in general -- is more about how you say something than what you're saying. And I'm not throwing that up simply as a defense of ignorant sh!t that happens to be rapped really well. I mean, think of someone like The ...

Breakout from Miley Cyrus by funniebunny Pros: fun, Miley has a unique voice
Cons: ........... Miley Cyrus's voice is a deepish teen-y girl voice. It has a slightly nasally tenor to it that, rather than making her voice rough and unpleasant, is smooth, pleasant enough, and actually works to give her differing voice some personality. ...

Oops.....I Did It Again from Britney Spears: a good oops by funniebunny Pros: light, frilly, sounds good, and sounds of the 90's
Cons: silly pop attribute(s) Britney Spears is not the best singer. However, there is something infectious about her and her music, the delightfully cutesy, almost innocence about it; its ability to be replayed over and over again, sounding just as good - light, frivolous, yet ...

Vince Gill Shows Musical Influences in These Days by keithpruitt Pros: 43 Gill written or co-written songs covering four genres of music, vocal collaborations, musicianship
Cons: A couple of the songs would have been better as duets Vince Gill is arguably one of the most talented writers, singers, musicians and entertainers in country music history. He is certainly one of the most successful. In 2006, the now member of the Country Music Hall of Fame, released an ...

Creepy Electronic Music from Massive Attack as They Go to the Dark Side by thevoid99 Pros: Production, Arrangements, Live Instrumentation, Presentation, Vocals, & Samples.
Cons: None. 1994's Protection helped Massive Attack achieve considerable attention as the trip-hop sound they had created was now becoming a new sub genre that spawned a slew of acts. Though the collective that features 3D, Daddy G, and Mushroom were not ...

Invincible, Indeed. by curryjacket14 Pros: It's a fun electronic album, with a good message.
Cons: A little inconsistent in the backhalf. They lyrics can get annoyingly repetitious at times. As we near the release date of Skillet's upcoming album, Awake, I decided that I would go back and review an album of theirs that I've been wanting to cover for a while now. Ever since I joined this site, I've wanted to do a write-up on ...

Tranquility Trumps Terror in LOST's Surprisingly Mellow Season 2 Soundtrack by bilbopooh Pros: Hurley's Handouts, Rose and Bernard, many character-driven tracks

70% of all car accidents occur while falling asleep to Duran Duran's Liberty. by tjhassecrets Pros: You can buy it for a cent on Amazon.
Cons: This isn't Duran Duran. Somebody must have kidnapped them. God lawd, I've been dreading this record. By 1990, Duran Duran could not have been more different than the band they were in the early-80s. Their whole thing (big thing?) was making synth-rock and warping it in such a way that was distinctly their ...

Great Social Commentary Turns Monotonous In "American Industrial Ballads" By Pete Seeger. by wlswarts Pros: Good lyrics, Generally decent presentation.
Cons: Monotonous presentation, Musically unimpressive, Thematically oppressive, Short. I am all too happy to admit that I have some weird pet peeves. One of them is I become unusually irked by people who tell me the reason I don't consider "2001: A Space Odyssey" one of the top ten films of all time is because I don't "get" the film. I ...

"Thanks to the Kylie Minogue Learning Annex, I am now fluent in Body Language!" by kyle316pt2 Pros: Kylie does baby-makin' music right!

Who do you love when you Come Undone? by tjhassecrets Pros: Just about everything. Great A-side; great B-side; great remixes.

No Vocoders or Mentioning of Cough Syrup? This is Lil Wayne, Right? by cashclay Pros: Very nicely-produced, marked Lil Wayne's arrival as a serious talent.
Cons: Overlong, lacks the spontaneous diversity of Wayne's more recent output. When Lil Wayne released Tha Carter III last summer, I was underwhelmed, at least initially. I was shocked by how lame Jay-Z's verse on "Mr. Carter" was. "Phone Home" weirded me out. I thought "La La" was obnoxious. I thought "Let the ...

Bad Religion Continue Generating Greatness by PacManY2J Pros: Tight, energetic punk rock with thoughtful, creative lyrics
Cons: Short and not a ton of variation In 1992, the world of rock was well-immersed in grunge, and punk's resurgence of popularity was still a couple years off. But punk was still alive and well that year as evidenced by another strong album from Southern California stalwarts Bad ...

Cons: Not as many great songs as her first two albums Psychédélices is the third album of the French pop singer, Alizée. This 2007 release is my least favorite of her three albums. It's still a great album. I came across the songs while searching for Europop/Eurodance music on a ...
