One of the best of the 90's. Yup, that's saying something. by cmrok93  Pros: Fun, quick, but thoughtful.
Cons: Every song has been played to death by the radio. As with most of the RHCP's albums, each one has a couple of songs that are downright funky, fun, and flavroful, and of course, like you'd expect, there are plenty more that are downbeat, sad, and depressing. That's just the type of band RHCP and most ...

what comes out of GENE SIMMONS *SSHOLE sounds pretty good by scapp70 Pros: good variety; almost an extension of his first solo album
Cons: too many cover songs Boy I have avoided this album for almost a decade. I remember viewing the video for the song Firestarter and not thinking much of it, observing the new image he wore, that of a hip hop artist and I was totally turned off. Now I find out ...

Yeezus Saves by donkee Pros: Amazing beats and production, Kanye is a musical genius...
Cons: ...not for the casual fan, not radio-friendly, SO controversial. Here's the thing: I LOVE Kanye West. As a rapper, and as a person. I get why people hate him- he kind of...okay, totally does...come off as a pretentious, self-absorbed, egotistical wanker. But, it works. And you know what? I love anyone ...

...Like Clockwork: Queens of the Stone Age's Triumphant Return by PacManY2J Pros: Everything you love about Queens of the Stone Age in a tight, riff-oriented package
Cons: none Fans of Josh Homme’s work can’t really complain about the past six years. Even though that’s how long its been since he and Queens of the Stone Age released their last album, 2007’s excellent Era Vulgaris, we’ve been ...

Kanye West's Yeezus - Provocative S*** by roheblius Pros: Brilliant production and song structure
Cons: Lyrically simplistic (which is both good and bad) "No one knows what it means, but it's provocative." Little did I know, the line sampled from the movie "Blades Of Glory" and added to the hit single from Jay-Z and Kanye West, "Ni**** In Paris" would be the best descriptor about this ...

Nothing To Fear Here... by donkee Pros: Beautiful songs, lyrics, and production...
Cons: ...a few songs fail to stand out. Keane came along during the second British invasion- that time period in the mid/late 2000's where British bands were receiving significant attention and airplay in the States. If you only heard a handful of Keane's songs, it would be hard to ...

Madonna's MDNA Album (Deluxe Edition) - She's A Different Kind Of Girl...Still! by jankp Pros: 17 original songs she co-wrote and co-produced; mostly fun listen
Cons: some explicit lyrics (not sexual though); not my favorite type of music Pop queen Madonna has released her twelfth studio album, the first since 2008's soft porn Hard Candy and without Warner Bros Records. MDNA is also my first Madonna album. Pop music by women acting like teenagers went out with my teens ...

Try, Try, Try: “What’s our mission? Do we know…but never listen?” by TheUnknown285 Pros: Both songs are good
Cons: Just one B-side, Out of print “Try, Try, Try” has several distinctions within the Smashing Pumpkins’ career, which lasts well over 20 years. It was the last single released from the band’s criminally underrated and underappreciated album ...

Black Celebration. Death Is Everywhere. by Freak369 Pros: Great songs, incredible sound, deep lyrics.
Cons: You really need to listen to this with headphones. Some Depeche Mode fans call Black Celebration their best release to date; considering it was put out in 1986 that is a bold statement to make because since that time they've released Violator and Exciter. Everyone is going to ...

Alice In Chains Continue Leaving a Big Footprint with The Devil Put Dinosaurs Here by PacManY2J Pros: Strong songs that stay true to the AIC sound while pushing forward
Cons: Takes a few listens to really get into Much of Alice in Chains’ last album, 2009’s Black Gives Way to Blue, felt like a beautiful, long-awaited closure statement, saying goodbye to deceased frontman Layne Staley and pledging to push forward. Now, they're making good on that ...

Depeche Mode Takes You To A Simpler Time With This Release by Freak369 Pros: Nice even mix of songs, hits and almost hits.
Cons: Some songs are curious choices for a 'best of' release. Depeche Mode is an iconic group from the early 90's but their discography goes back a lot farther than that. I wasn't a huge fan of them until I started reading the lyrics and saw some pretty dark stuff tucked away in songs ...

Live sparks by silktempest Pros: Commonplaces
Cons: Unusual Sufficiently spasmodic to accommodate a trembling melody in post-Punk chords, Scissors in the Sand opened barricades for ECHO & THE BUNNYMEN in mid-2000. It was a terrible time for bands of old. Dismantled by new Rock which permuted ...

Small Black's Forgettable Full Length Debut : NEW CHAIN by xxxxer Pros: Easy to listen to; it's relaxing and chilled out
Cons: Ultimately, it lacks energy and a sense of "fun" Lately, it's seemed to me that the world of indie rock and electro needs a good kick in the behind to get it going again. After a period from the mid 1990s to early 2000s in which "underground" musicians churned out some really solid, creative and ...

Mr. Neil, Would You Like Some Wine With Your Cheese? by Freak369 Pros: A couple of hits, tour fodder.
Cons: A lot of filler and not enough balls-out rock. Every group, no matter how mega, puts out some varying degree of cheese at some point in their career. Sometimes it's a cathartic moment after many bong hits when someone has a revelation that a certain beat or line can be morphed ...

PETER CRISS ONE FOR ALL please avoid at all costs by scapp70 Pros: one or two songs that can almost muster enough interest
Cons: just terrible; Peter has lost his ability to sing; terrible songs and choices I admit that I am a fan of Peter Criss. As far as I’m concerned, he was the best drummer for KISS. I like his singing voice, and I like his songwriting. This I readily admit even after listening to his One For All album, his most recent ...

Down With The Group Called Diggin' In The Crates by dopejunkie Pros: Potentiality for a legitimate heavyweight crew, Group continuity, Some dope rhymes, Some classic production

I'm always apologizing for the long hiatuses between reviews and am doing so again. My computer was afflicted and had to get it fixed, but now I am back.

Kris Kristofferson's 2013 Soul-Baring Album Feeling Mortal - Country Music At Its Poetic Best~ by jankp Pros: ten beautifully-crafted, original songs; soul-baring
Cons: lyrics not included with CD It's kinda funny that I've started to enjoy Kris Kristofferson's growly country music in the last year. I'm much more of a jazz, blues, classical rock, pop fan and grew up (on a cattle ranch yet) hating country, but I loved his poetic, witty, emotionally ...

Breathtakingly beautiful live Celtic worship music... by knotheadusc Pros: Beautiful music. Sarah Lacy's wonderful voice. Celtic influences.
Cons: Will appeal more to Christians. A few songs sound the same. First off, let me state for the record that I am not a very religious person. I don't go to church anymore and though I consider myself a Presbyterian, at least culturally, I am not one of those who walks closely with Jesus in my daily life. ...
