Everything in Queen's bag of tricks is here. by tjhassecrets Pros: They didn't hold back. Impressive first record.
Cons: They didn't have the skill to do what they wanted to do. Too much distortion. =LIAR! Nobody believes me! LIAR! Why don't you leave alone?=The early 1970s was more or less a mixed bag of mediocre and muddy releases from bands who weren't quite sure how to cope with the end of the Flower Power era. ...

Children Who Travel Should Have Songs & Games for the Road by Staceys1 Pros: Variety of childrens songs sung by children, familiar Fisher-Price characters.
Cons: None. We have always spent a lot of time in our car. Whether it was a trip to Florida or Ohio, or just local day trips, we have driven quite a bit. While my children never seemed to mind spending hours strapped into their car seats or, as they got ...

Jewel Kilcher: Her Christmas Album by scapp70 Pros: Fantastic arrangements, nice new Christmas songs
Cons: Hands (the Christmas version?), Life Uncommon The Christmas Season of 2009 is upon us. Let's hope that we were able to snag some incredible buys on Black Friday. It could be very stressful shopping for Christmas presents this season as our government-lead recession puts a hurt on ...

Is Realmente Lo Mejor REALLY the BEST of Julieta Venegas? by mrkstvns Pros: Nice audio portrait of how Julieta Venegas has evolved as an artist.
Cons: Too short, too many excellent tracks missing, weak remixes Christmas is a comin', and the geese are getting fat. Better them than me, I always say. Anyway, I don't have time to get fat because I've got so many Christmas gifts to buy before Santa shows up. The problem with Christmas shopping though is ...

Onward to battle! Turisas: Folk metal at its folk metallest by blindsider Pros: Many exceptionally catchy songs with great violins, a fun atmosphere, and nice choirs
Cons: Falters mid-album with songs that blur together Some would say the folk/viking/battle subgenre of metal is getting a bit too crowded these days. Just as a few years ago, there was an influx of female-fronted "gothic" or symphonic bands popping up, there is now an abundance of 'viking' ...

It's a new tattoo! by sleez_boy Pros: some great tracks
Cons: Tommy Lee is missing! Sex, drugs, and fast cars dominate the album of New Tattoo. New Tattoo is an album that gives up all the changes the band attempted in the 1990’s. Motley Crue returns to the style they had, except sleazier and without Tommy Lee. ...

Good General (and Generic) Holiday Music! by bonnieleigh Pros: Nice voices, nice songs. Good mix.
Cons: Another shortie - only about 27 minutes long. This disc is a pretty general collection of varied artists. About the only thing the selections and artists share in common is that they are all pretty mellow, and old.Of course, that's precisely how I like my holiday CDs. A lot of ...

"Flowers on the razor wire" - The Sisters of Mercy's Vision Thing by teamfreak16 Pros: It's a loud, arena-rock departure for the Sisters
Cons: The arena rock angle might scare some faithful off Apparently, by the time 1990 rolled around, Sisters of Mercy frontman Andrew Eldritch had tired enough of his band’s “goth” label that he decided to do something about it—stomping all over that dark designation with his third ...

EVERETTE HARP'S "FIRST LOVE" IS SOULFUL AND SMOOTH by mike.holmes Pros: Great playing, great songs, fine and funky and beautiful
Cons: None I find myself once again reviewing an album by a so-called "smooth jazz" artist. As I've pointed out in previous reviews, "smooth jazz" is not exactly my cup of tea. However, Everette Harp is not simply a generic "smooth jazz" player. ...

Marisela Milks the Cash Cow with Yet Another Bland Hits Collection by mrkstvns Pros: Jewel case can be used as a drink coaster
Cons: The whole kit -n- kaboodle! I've been doing the big chubba wubba lately, what with all the really cool new albums being released by so many talented latin music artists. Yet despite the smorgasbord of "good stuff", it never ceases to amaze me how many tacky-looking albums there are ...

Stone Cold Product Placement. by tjhassecrets Pros: Well, every QUEEN song is fantastic, of course.
Cons: Tracks 13 and 14 are a waste of self-indulgent time. Only 12 Queen songs??? = I'd sit aloneAnd watch your lightMy only friendThrough teenage nights = Queen is not a band that needs no introduction. Their iconic image and astounding musical magic has stood the test of time repeatedly and will ...

Only The Most Die-hard Fans Will Truly Want The "Criminal" Single. by wlswarts Pros: Two great songs, live version of "Sleep To Dream" is exclusive
Cons: Drastic underuse of medium, Nothing truly unique For all of my love of the music of Fiona Apple, I am discovering that she has some of the same problems as virtually every other musical artist producing in that her singles offer little real value to listeners and collectors. For sure, I love the ...

Christmas Music by Alan Jackson by toiletoctopus Pros: Alan Jackson's voice, Great Production, Passion, Conviction
Cons: The Christmas Song's a let down A lot of singers and music groups have released Christmas albums, and they've been a mixed bag. For every great one, you are going to get another that sounds like it was produced in a day, with limited amounts of passion. If that's not bad enough, you ...

Five Years of Great Music from the Hyperdub Label by thevoid99 Pros: Sequencing, Selected Tracks, Remixes, & Notable Cuts from Burial, Kode9, Zomby, & the Bug.
Cons: At 32 Tracks & in 2 1/2 Hours, Hard to Follow at Times. Since it's formation in 2004, the London-based Hyperdub label has been the forefront of the burgeoning dubstep sub-genre in the electronic music scene.

Lush Orchestra and an Amazing Voice on These Christmas Favorites by carstairs38 Pros: Beautiful orchestra, fun arrangements, "Carol of the Bells."
Cons: Not quite as great as her first Christmas release; few original songs Back in the 90's, Sandi Patty was still an automatic buy for me, so when she came out with a second Christmas release, I didn't hesitate to get it. I hoped it would recapture the magic of her first Christmas release. While it didn't do that, ...

They might promise you that the river ain't deep by GregRadiohead Pros: In retrospect, a really good and successful collaborative release, especially the non-single tracks
Cons: 'Left Hand Suzuki Method' is a throwaway bonus track Everyone's lasting memory of the Gorillaz project is probably the animated video for 'Clint Eastwood'; failing that, it's that the band is made up of four comic book/cartoon characters who serve as fronts for the brains behind the scenes. The danger of ...

Fiona Apple Sleepwalks Her Way Through A Surprisingly Good EP: “Across The Universe.” by wlswarts Pros: Good songs
Cons: Short, Uses the title track twice For those who follow my many reviews, I am a fan of Fiona Apple . . . and not a fan of c.d. singles. It takes a lot to get me to praise a c.d. single, so the fact that I am on the fence between a three and a four on an EP is a pretty big deal for me. ...

There's a New Moon. Sparkly Vampires can Swallow the Sun. by shopaholic_man Pros: Great gothic sounding melodic doom/death metal from Finland
