World Painted Blood [PA] * by Slayer
Slayer's Best Since Divine Intervention
by bloodymadness
Pros: Great songwriting
strong riffs and leads
solid drumming
Cons: Hate Worldwide
Production may turn some off
In the metal community, when a new Slayer record is released the heavy metal world stands still. All guitars are dropped, screaming vocals abruptly end and drums comes to a halt. Slayer is one of only a handful of bands that has so much prominence in the ...

Neopets Puzzles And Games: A Nice Addition To The Series 1 Neopet Collection
by Freak369
Pros: Fun puzzles and games, most are pretty easy, comes with answers.
Cons: Can be hard to find, might not be challenging enough for hard-core players.
Merchandizing for Neopets knows no limits. Be it video games, plushies, school supplies or clothing – Neopets is pretty much everywhere. I purchased several of the Neopet ...

G & R Publishing - Gifts in a Bag: Dips
Gifts in a Bag: Dips — Instant Dips to For Some Instant Feeding
by elvisdo
Pros: Easy to make; great little gifts to give away
Cons: Always running out of tags and needing to get replacement book(s); buying lots of ingredients
When my son's daycare had a book fundraising drive, my wife found a book she thought she would never find again: Gifts in a Bag: Dips. One of the things that she enjoys giving out as little presents is these homemade concoctions from this book. ...

Dark Horse by Nickelback
Typical rock album... Drugs, Sex, and Love
by bumpsetspike
Pros: catchy tunes, songs to rock out to as well as chill to
Cons: some unoriginal ideas, typical drugs and sex theme overdone, not much a variety
My boyfriend bought me this album, Dark Horse, as we are both fans of Nickelback. After listening to these songs multiple times each, I think I have been able to form a decent opinion of it. It is not a bad album, I would say it's mediocre. It's ...

Taking Chance
Taking Chance (2009) - Kevin Bacon Defines What Is Meant By "Go Tell The Spartans"
by morilla
Pros: Perhaps Kevin Bacon's best performance; Emotionally stirring; Simplicity of delivery
Cons: Hard to find in stores; Will make even the 'hardest' reach for the Kleenex
Spartans were told: "With your shield, or on it."  Message?  When you fight - Win or die in the attempt.  Why?  Duty.  Honor.  Loyalty.  Service.  Valor.  Perseverance.  You know, that Yoda ...

Ocean Eyes [Digipak] * by Owl City
Owl City Soothes and Seduces with Ocean Eyes
by MattBjorke
Pros: Relaxing electronic sonic textures and soothing vocals help build a solid foundation.
Cons: Can be a bit monochromatic at times.
Having taken the pop music world by storm with the charming (or irritating) "Fireflies," Owl City started out -much like Foo Fighters, Rocket Summer and other bands- as the work of a singular figure, in this case Minnesota-based ...

The Invention of Lying
Pepsi: Now Available in the Afterlife
by arguablysamson
Pros: funny, cliche-free
Cons: a bit of melodrama towards the end
Ricky Gervais’ and Matthew Robinson’s The Invention of Lying is one of the better films of the year. I’ll leave it to the reader to decide whether that statement is the product of my strong atheistic bias or not, but that is the ...

Hello Hurricane [11/10] * by Switchfoot
They're B-ah-ah-ck! Switchfoot Returns with inspired album
by MattBjorke
Pros: Switchfoot returns with a record that is a passionate rival to The Beautiful Letdown.
Cons: The band cribs some of the sounds from their influences more than before.
After taking some time off from after the release of 2006's Oh! Gravity to work side projects like Fiction Family Alt-rockers Switchfoot have resurfaced on a new record label.  Having moved from Sony's Columbia to Atlantic ...

Clue
"Mr. Boddy. Dead...Again."
by carstairs38
Pros: Funny comedy and a decent mystery
Cons: Can't solve mystery on your own; very adult for a PG movie
I remember hearing about the movie version of Clue back in the 80's.  By the time it came out, I was already a fan of the board game on which it is based.  But I couldn't quite see how they would make a movie from the game work.  ...

Fender Standard Stratocaster Maple with Gigbag
An American classic that does not disappoint
by jabronie25
Pros: - Nice clean tones
- Nice finish
- Versatility
Cons: - Pickups could have been better
The Fender Stratocaster is one of the most well known guitars today. Many famous musicians called it their main axe: Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, Dave Murray and many more. The strat is known for its warm clean tones and bluesy sound, but at the same time ...

Saving Private Ryan
Speilberg gives World War II another shot and can't quite make it
by musicc
Pros: Excellent first scene and last battle
Cons: Everything about it is standard, overlong, failed emotions
Although unanimously praised and won several Oscars, Saving Private Ryan to me is a fairly standard war film. It isn’t bad necessarily, just never really found it to be anything special. The opening scene is great and I love the last battle scene, ...

Sunny Schwartz - Dreams from the Monster Factory: A Tale of Prison, Redemption, and One Woman's Fight to Restore Justice to All
Besides A Lesbian & Jew, Is Author Sunny Schwartz A Prison Abolitionist?
by jankp
Pros: fascinating as well as compelling; a personal journey too
Cons: none for me, but an index might be nice
I don't think I've ever read a non-fiction book through tears, of both joy and sorrow, like I did with Sunny Schwartz's 2009 book, Dreams From The Monster Factory: A Tale of Prison, Redemption and One Women's Fight To Restore Justice To All. With a title ...

Nirvana: Live at Reading
New Unreleased Concert from Nirvana. Kurt Cobain lives again!
by shopaholic_man
Pros: Kurt Cobain sounds in great form on this 1992 Nirvana Concert.
Cons: Whydya do it Kurt?, Why?
I was happy to see a new Nirvana concert released this week at Newbury Comics. Of course, it's not a new concert, it's a newly released old concert, an August, 1992 concert Live at Reading.  Since Kurt Cobain's untimely suicide in April 1994, any ...

P. C. Cast and Kristin Cast - Untamed
Untamed by PC Cast and Kristin Cast
by msbunnylicious
Pros: very good plot, interesting and well developed characters, fun story developments
Cons: horrendously choppy and awkward writing
Untamed is a delightfully dark and annoyingly cliche-filled piece of funnily and intriguingly twisted vampire lore. I am both surprised and amazed at the number of adjectives I was able to write within that one sentence.^.^Similar ...

Blood Bank * by Bon Iver
I'm in love with your cheek
by GregRadiohead
Pros: A good little EP for those dying for new material
Cons: Not really essential
If this decade has, for the mainstream anyway, been the decline of the album--due to digital music stores, the ease of piracy, or the way we listen to music nowadays--then it has also seen the resurgence of the single as a viable artistic venue. Since ...

Laila Lalami - Secret Son: A Novel
A page-turner (once it gets going) about Moroccans of high and low class

Pros: plot, characterizations at both ends of the Moroccan status hierarhcy
Cons: I didn't get much from the somewhat different experienes of two important meetings
I think that Laila Lalami is a very good writer in her third or fourth language, English. It would be faint praise to bill her as "the best Moroccan-American novelist," not a category in which there is much competition.Her second novel, Secret ...

Fluorescent Grey EP [EP] by Deerhunter

I have the habit of thinking of bands as a linear progression or story, with a very clear evolution or path toward or away from something. While I probably have forced this structure where it doesn't belong, it seems like more often than not it ...

Pros: great acting, more thoughtful and less glamorous portrayal of the topic
Cons: story jumps around and can be hard to follow
The July 20 Plot to execute Adolph Hitler has become more well-known recently.  For the most part, that’s due to the film Valkyrie.  Unfortunately, that film leaves out completely one of the more important and very public ...

Friend by Grizzly Bear

by GregRadiohead
Pros: An excellent EP with outtakes and guests
Cons: Not truly essential
Friend may be referred to officially as an EP, but it's a dubious designation for two reasons. One, it clocks in at 43 minutes, which is longer than full albums by a lot of bands. The other reason is that three of the tracks are actually covers of ...
