Got Any Change? by divad23 Pros: Stylistically all over the map. The live, raw sound adds needed urgency to most tracks.
Cons: Stylistically all over the map. Seems like a mere morsel after The Alchemy Index. Thrice is one of those bands that amuses me by frustrating almost everyone else. Once labeled a hardcore rock band, with most folks who actually attempt to classify this sort of thing retreating to "post-hardcore" in more recent years for lack of ...

Who Knew The Apocalypse Could Be This Boring? by arguablysamson Pros: Great visuals, respectable acting on some fronts.
Cons: Everything else. Until the release of the movie 2012, I was holding out a measure of hope that the New Age-ish obsession with this new myth of the apocalypse would prove to be nothing more than entertainment. I no longer hold out such hope. Sylvia Browne and the ...

"Don't go to pieces about this, Sam." "What did you just say, Daddy!?" by aohcapablanca Pros: A method literal-minded children can follow to make sense of commonly used metaphors. Lavishly illustrated.
Cons: Too long. Pedantic. Attempts too much: one thing for children, something different for adult readers. This book's front cover introduces 30-ish Father, six-ish Sam and 20-something Mother. Daddy faces us stiffly sitting at one end of a crowded orange couch, his legs spread very wide. Mommy sits at the other end, legs also unbecomingly spread, but ...

On the First Night of Chanukah Is Simplistic But Fun by bilbopooh Pros: fun family, good overview of some basic elements of Chanukah
Cons: the pictures do most of the talking The 12 Days of Christmas is an incredibly easy song to adapt, so it has spawned its own mini-genre of Christmas books. Cecily Kaiser and Brian Schatell extend its influence by applying it to Judaism in On the First Night of ...

Alien-girl just wants to dance, and I just want to swallow bleach. by tjhassecrets Pros: Not too bad when you hear it in a dance club; the beat.

National Audubon Society's Field Guide to North American Trees is Tree-mendous by pestyside Pros: Perfect for the layperson who is working on meeting trees across the country
Cons: Lacks the depth in detail found in regional or state tree field guides Some people collect cookbooks, comic books, gardening books, or favorite author's books. While our movers are convinced we collect all books, the core of my naturalist, outdoor, gardening library are the tree books. This makes sense since trees and ...

With Vitamin C, this is the healthiest block party ever. by tjhassecrets Pros: Block party sound-- funk, soul, reggae, dance, pop; her voice; the hooks.
Cons: Some non-melodic/cheezy moments (Girls Against Boys?) = I ain’t got nobody That I can depend on Just me, myself, and I = Pop music is a very versatile genre that houses both eccentric artists like Kate Bush as well as far more accessible acts like 90s-diva Vitamin C, otherwise ...

100000 percent pure adrenaline by devv Pros: provocative fact. Fascinating special effects. Never seen before awesome display of photography.
Cons: As good as it gets in its genre. So perish the thought of sneering! Ah greetings hombres. Been busy. But with time running out (?) and theatres and websites getting hotter than the earth’s core, , maybe I should get down to the business of sharing my views on 2012- the movie and the odd theory or two that sustains ...

"There's a fine line in between your wit and your whining..." by mcheadcase Pros: The effort is definitely appreciated, and at least produces one good song ("Smile")...
Cons: From awful guitar work to basic rhyme schemes, the "effort" isn't much to talk about. In Hip-Hop, experimenting with or crossing over to other music genres can be a very risky move. When one tries to expand their horizons by broadening their musical landscape, it can possibly alienate your fanbase. In many cases, this type of musical ...

[Insert Toothy Pun] by JiggyJay Pros: Amazing songs, triumphant return to the music scene after a hiatus

After he told me that Hurt was a cover song of a Nine Inch Nails track, I had to ...

The main topic is young teen sexuality; sex plays a part, but that doesn’t tend to make most of us uncomfortable. To a much lesser degree, the ...
