Blazing! by travinsky Pros: "Fireball" is a pure burst of energy packed with great tunes!
Cons: Only that I did not discover it sooner! It was Christmas, 2010, and my husband gave me a great stocking stuffer of a gift: "The Very Best of Deep Purple." Needless to say, the album and I became inseparable over the next, few days! After I discovered how much I liked Deep ...

Better then singing in the shower by bricksis  Pros: Fun, easy listening, very creative
Cons: Not very kid friendly In 1978 the album, Greatest Hits 1974-78 was released by the Steven Miller band. Two of the songs in the album reached No. 1, these are 'The Joker' on January 12, 1974 and 'Rock'n Me' on November 6, 1976. The album has so far sold ...

Hold Onto Your Pants by donkee Pros: Hilarious songs and impersonations, celebrity duets...
Cons: ...could've been a bit longer. I have a decade-long love affair with Jimmy Fallon. I first fell in love with him back during his run on Saturday Night Live; sure, he ended up collapsing into fits of laughter during every sketch he was in, but it always made me laugh, ...

COWBOY BEBOP: VITAMINLESS May Need Steroids to be Truly Great.... by xxxxer Pros: "The Real Folk Blues," amazing performances and compositions; good variety
Cons: Most of the material here is included elsewhere and is generally unremarkable Even before the Cowboy Bebop anime series had finished its initial TV run, recordings of the show's soundtrack were landing on store shelves and it really isn't hard to see why considering how important (and awesome) this program’s ...

Cirque du Fromage by divad23 Pros: Their retro dance/pop sound still sparkles. More stylistically consistent than Walking on a Dream.
Cons: Ludicrously cheesy lyrics. Two melodramatic ballads are definite low points. It's been five long years since we last heard from the Australian electro-retro-pop duo Empire of the Sun. Or at least, since we heard from them in the form of an album. Their so-cheesy-it's-mysteriously-co

Κata Τon Daimona Εaytoy: Dark Spells I Send You, The Antigod I Name You by Freak369 Pros: Excellent presentation, rich lyrics, backing vocals.
Cons: Lacks a little bit of the true 'dark side' of the group. Sometimes you have to take a little bit of flack when you admit that you like 'controversial' groups. I make no secret that I listen to a wide variety of music and some of it is in the death metal, black metal and doom metal genres. Does ...

A gem from 1993 by kelster3 Pros: a roller-coaster of sounds, amazement, and all these different beats in one CD
Cons: I am sad to say the info service now longer works. This is Jesus Jones 3rd album, and the follow-up to the hit from doubt. However, just like the cover, this cd is completely different from the hits from "right here, right now" and "international bright young thing"Mike Edwards did not want to ...

Let Miguel Adorn You by donkee Pros: Interesting songs, not the typical R&B album, Miguel's vocal talent...
Cons: ...even with all that considered, it's still not a terribly exciting album. For the most part, I don't really listen to R&B music. I listened to it a lot when I was younger, but I guess I just outgrew the genre; as I got older, I started becoming less impressed with much of what was released. Most of what I heard on the ...

Nothing In Its Right Place by madcapellan Pros: Strong and varied set of songs from a band that recently hit its prime.
Cons: Poor order, mish-mash of styles, weaker song quality. I guess I must have been the only person in the world surprised when Kid A was named the best album of the 2000s by many publications shortly after the decade ended. The album hardly made the impact on its release that OK Computer ...

Even John Mayer Critics will Love this Album by casdrubo Pros: Incredible guitar and vocal talent. Excellent blues and vocal tracks
Cons: Love songs: "Heart of Life" and "Daughters" Let me begin by saying that I am not a John Mayer fan. In my experience, unless you are actively searching for Mayer's work you'll have only been exposed to his commercially successful love ballads "Body is a Wonderland", and "Waiting for the World to ...

Who Knew! CLINT EASTWOOD (!) SINGS COWBOY FAVORITES by xxxxer Pros: I was pleasantly surprised by this relaxing, well-performed collection of tunes
Cons: Not much variety in the musical arrangements I'd be the first to admit when I first stumbled upon this album of country/western songs sung by Clint Eastwood (yes that Clint Eastwood), I was fully expecting for it to be a complete train wreck. While there are many movie stars out there ...

I wanna hear some Steve Earle! by knotheadusc Pros: Elements of Springsteen, Mellencamp, Petty... politics and love. Title track.
Cons: A couple of duds. Back in the early 1990s, I was a disc jockey at my college's radio station. One night, I was playing a lot of southern rock and a guy who was perpetually stoned called me up and said, "Hey! I wanna hear some Steve Eaaaaarlllee..." ...

Thanatiphoro Anthologio: 18 Years of Rotting Christ by Freak369 Pros: Two discs, massive coverage, bonus disc with import version.

A Blues Guitarist/vocalist with Eclectic Interests by Stephen_Murray Pros: Caribbean-inflected tracks
Cons: too country for me, especially the first disc Born Henry Saint Clair Fredericks on May 17, 1942 in Harlem, New York, the blues guitarist who took the name of "Taj Mahal" grew up in Springfield, Massachusetts. His father was a West Indian pianist, his mother sang in a gospel choir, and his stepfather ...

A Second Broadway Cast Recording for Mary Poppins by carstairs38 Pros: Old favorites and great new songs
Cons: A few don't work without visuals; too many Janes and Michaels Last year, I finally got to see Disney's Broadway musical Mary Poppins. Not surprising since I love the movie, but I loved the play version as well. And since I love to get soundtracks for plays I've seen, I bought the Original Live ...

"That's the way the thunder rumbles." - Echo & the Bunnymen's Self-Titled Album by teamfreak16 Pros: More great Bunnymen songs, Ray Manzarek
Cons: None. A solid four-star record You can safely say that Liverpool, England, is safely entrenched as a legendary rock and roll city (that whole Beatles thing, you know?) But there is more to Liverpool than just the World’s Favorite Band. In the 1980’s, several Liverpool ...

Anyone want a beer coaster? THROUGH THE GLASS EP by Atlas Genius by xxxxer Pros: Really, the music is fine....
Cons: Availability of all these songs on 2013's When It Was Now makes this EP redundant There was a period in mid 2012 when you literally could not turn on the radio in Austin, Texas without hearing Atlas Genius's single "Trojans." This catchy little ditty immediately replaced Gotye's "Somebody that I Used to Know" as the song that ...

IRON MAIDEN THE NUMBER OF THE BEAST enter Bruce Dickinson with new Maiden sound by scapp70 Pros: Fine Maiden Classics; vocals; arrangements
Cons: Songwriting is still evolving and in its early stages; a few crappy tunes I wonder which the band Iron Maiden had sold more of - albums or t-shirts. Certainly every metal head back in the day sported some form of Iron Maiden clothing. It was usually a t-shirt featuring their mascot Eddie. Remember when the kids would cut the ...

Spoken Word + Edgar Allan Poe = Closed On Account of Rabies by Freak369 Pros: Excellent spoken word presentation of Poe's classic tales.

Rotting Christ "Aealo" - The Grand Celebration of Death, Destruction And Mayhem || VRYKOLAKA || by Freak369 Pros: A harder, faster Rotting Christ release, same old death / black metal feel.
Cons: Some aspects of it might shake loose the casual listener. A few months ago I started getting back in to the death and doom metal scene; with that came more Rotting Christ and finally getting my hands on Aealo. I had heard almost all of the songs off of it at various points in time but to ...

Mogwai's Awe-Inspiring Juggernaut : The MY FATHER MY KING EP by xxxxer Pros: It's the track fans had been waiting for since Young Team
Cons: This 20-minute, noise-dominated piece isn't the most accessible thing out there Released as a sort of companion piece to Scottish post-rock group Mogwai's third full length album, the My Father, My King EP (essentially a single release for the title, 20+ minute song) is exactly the type of ear-shredding, expansive ...

In which Barenaked Ladies fail to exceed the posted limits by divad23 Pros: "Limits", "Smile" and a handful of others are pleasantly surprising.
Cons: Embarrassing, outdated pop culture references; bland and overproduced pop/rock arrangements. So, my wife and I were recently traveling in Quebec. It was our third time in Canada, and in keeping with past trips, I made sure to put some of my favorite Canadian artists in the iPod playlist as soon as we crossed the border. ...

I'm a huge Blackfield fan, actually they even used to be one of my few favorite bands! But ever since their third album, Welcome to my DNA, they kinda lost me. That album, ...
