"some nights I call it a draw" by Stairway2Drew Pros: Adventurous, epic, melodramatic pop music. Nate Ruess still has the goods.
Cons: Not Ruess's finest lyrical moment; "It Gets Better". As it turns out, fun.'s Some Nights album isn't quite the musical revolution I anticipated it being. In terms of boosting the band's cultural cache, it's been a watershed, but the thrill of the band's giddy brand of decades-spanning pop pomp has ...

"Close your eyes, use your mind, get ready to explode" by thewisefool Pros: Sophisticated, trance-like electronic music that will give you a boost and take you elsewhere.
Cons: That there isn't more music like this. For those out of the know, Danny Tenaglia is a Grammy-nominated DJ and record producer from New York. I first heard of him as a 1990s-era remixer for Vanessa Daou, an underground, Sade-like electronic, dance, and jazz artist of whom ...

Slayer Keeps It Real on Divine Intervention by PacManY2J Pros: Typically fast, heavy, and disturbing with a few cool new tricks
Cons: none Slayer’s Divine Intervention came out in 1994 when grunge was king and Nine Inch Nails had made a big splash with The Downward Spiral. Darker music was mainstream now. Surely, this was Slayer’s chance to take their place on ...

A Song For You at 41... Happy birthday to both of us! by knotheadusc Pros: Several hits featuring Karen's pristine vocals. A few deep cut gems. Toilet humor.
Cons: "Piano Picker". A bit of a snoozer. In two weeks, I will turn 41. In one week, A Song for You by The Carpenters will also turn 41. If the truth be told, I've kind of wanted to buy this album for over twenty years. Ever since I heard Karen Carpenter sing "A ...

This Isn't Your Average Boy-Meets-Girl Soundtrack... by donkee Pros: Great musical accompaniment to the film, excellent songs from Regina Spektor and The Smiths...
Cons: None! When you really love a movie, you tend to love everything about it. When I first saw (500) Days Of Summer in 2009, I instantly related to the story. I had suffered my own heart-wrenching, world-ending breakup just a few months prior to the film's ...

The ZAC BROWN BAND UNCAGED where classic country meets today’s country music by scapp70 Pros: fine songs; extraordinary musicianship

A handful years away slightly linear narrative strategies saddling enthusiasm for matters of the heart by silktempest Pros: Debasement
Cons: Video bonus instead of outtakes 10 years ago R.E.M.’s Around the Sun was universally lambasted. People said it was their nadir. I though with a pinch of salt that the violence of those times had taken its toll on R.E.M. – though I still missed ...

A Funky Soundtrack to a Dirty Documentary : INSIDE DEEP THROAT SOUNDTRACK by xxxxer Pros: Great late '70s tunage on a fun disc
Cons: Not enough original material; most of the tracks are available elsewhere In 2005, a documentary entitled Inside Deep Throat examined the history behind the most infamous pornographic film ever made, 1972's Deep Throat. The documentary went to great lengths to examine the production of the original film ...

A Doom-Laden Dark Ritual by Chromatics : PLASTER HOUNDS by xxxxer Pros: Well-performed and written unsettling and hypnotic music
Cons: The album seems too "samey" and is not to all tastes Although the band today makes electro-pop more perhaps more indebted to Eurodisco and synth rock, Portland, Oregon based Chromatics started out in the early 2000s as a noisy and fairly experimental punk band. Their 2003 debut full length album ...

You'd Need Some Extra Oxygen To Breathe Life Into These Songs... by donkee Pros: Decent folk/acoustic pop songs...
Cons: ...not much stands out, most of it is more suitable as background music. I've never seen some of my favourite bands in concert, but I've happened to see Colbie Caillat in concert twice. Both times were coincidental- she just happened to be touring with my favourite artists; once, she opened for John Mayer, and another ...

Linkin Park: Living Things: Growth and Change by rmthunter Pros: It's Linkin Park -- strong music, amazing synthesis of various styles, sophisticated musicianship.
Cons: Some near misses, not always as sophisticated as they could be. (Have been?) I really have to start paying closer attention -- Linkin Park is the second band that came out with a new album while I wasn't looking. So of course I ordered Living Things immediately I discovered it. It's Linkin Park doing what they ...

Straight No Chaser is Under the Influence of a Few Friends by carstairs38 Pros: More great a cappella music to enjoy
Cons: The group takes a back seat to their guests most of the time It’s been a couple of years since Straight No Chaser’s last release, so I had to snap up Under the Influence as soon as I could. This disc is a little different since the a cappella group is joined on eight of the eleven tracks ...

Don't Get Hysterical - Peter Murphy's Love Hysteria by teamfreak16 Pros: "All Night Long," "Indigo Eyes," Murphy's vocals
Cons: No hits but very solid material Establishing a solo career can be an iffy proposition at best, especially when your former band is largely credited with inventing an entire genre. Peter Murphy was the vocalist for Bauhaus, one of goth music’s legendary acts and often considered ...

Volbeat Head to the Wild West on Outlaw Gentlemen & Shady Ladies by PacManY2J Pros: Heavy but catchy rock with a cool Old West theme.
Cons: none Now that they're breaking big in the United States, it seems like as good a time as any for Danish rockers Volbeat to explore an apparent fascination with an exciting era of American history: the Old West. With a gunslinger theme permeating their fifth ...

Bon Jovi: The Signature Sound of 1984 by Freak369 Pros: Great songs, old school Bon Jovi, $$$ tracks

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. ...

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 ...

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 ...
