~~ JOHNNY CASH IS HERE TO BRING OUT YOUR CHRISTMAS SPIRIT ~~ by kbolton72 Pros: Gorgeous Cash voice, beautiful songs, comforting
Cons: None, other than the tone never changing much... Even as adults, we need lullabies. We need soft, soothing, strong voices that secure us and hold us close. Anyone who has grown up with or has been a fan of Johnny Cash knows that his gift to the universe was that gritty, sandy, sultry voice of ...

John Mayer's "Battle Studies": We Are Young...Heartache to Heartache We Stand by speeddemon531 Pros: The songwriting is still strong, with "Assassin" and "Heartbreak Warfare" being highlights.
Cons: A couple of songs suggest Mayer on autopilot, album is too laidback as a whole. At my job, we always talk about managing expectations. Making sure people are aware that we can't give them the world on a silver platter every time. However, sometimes you set a standard so high that you get compared unrealistically (and unfairly) to ...

The MINI ALBUM By The Sex Pistols is a Good Bet for Fans by xxxxer Pros: Alternate versions here show off a more refined and experimental side of the band
Cons: The disc is brief and contains (all-too) familiar tracks Since the band was only in existence for enough time to release one proper album that would turn the world of rock and roll on its head, numerous bootlegs and alternate recordings of the notorious Sex Pistols have seen release since the band split in ...

McCartney gives you his best …Paul McCartney – All The Best! by scapp70 Pros: It’s a pretty good ‘greatest’ package, pretty much up-to-date, lyrics included
Cons: CMoon, this package sounds too lite FM Paul McCartney is one of the few who need no introduction. Either you know him, or you're probably dead. Paul McCartney has written many hit songs in his long career, whether he's been in The Beatles, Wings or as a solo artist. He has ...

Gobble gobble gickel. I wish turkey only cost a nickel. by jeff_wilder78 Pros: Some funny songs and sketches.
Cons: Some not-so-funny ones. He's now one of the leading stars in Hollywood. But believe it or not, there was a time when Adam Sandler was not a known entity. Back when he was best-known for his roles on Saturday Night Live and his appearances on the comedy club circuit, he made ...

Chimpanzee agony, and of course moose bumps by GregRadiohead Pros: One of the best and weirdest rap albums ever
Cons: None I don't know where it came from, but there's a short interview with Keith Thorton (aka Dr. Octagon) on YouTube where he offers a bizarre and detailed argument about keeping people from eating and drinking stuff from your fridge. He argues that you have ...

A Fire Burns Today, of Blasphemy and Genocide by divad23 Pros: Love the progressive and classic rock influence - it's American Idiot gone schizo.
Cons: A bit harsh on the "religious right". "21 Guns" is criminally generic. Is a band ever too old to write noisy songs that promote a "screw the system" sort of attitude? The members of Green Day don't seem to think so. The fact that there's debate over what bands who play the kind of music they play (essentially poppy ...

Retro-Thrash Done Right by bloodymadness Pros: Great songwriting
Strong solos and riffs Cons: A bit long at times Some generic moments Since roughly 2007, thrash metal has made somewhat of a comeback in the metal world. Sure, old school stalwarts Slayer, Megadeth, Kreator and Exodus have continued to tour and record albums over the past decade but with the exception of the old guard, ...

What is a woman? A woman is whoever Tina Turner is. by tjhassecrets Pros: Inspiring performances, great music, non-doctored vocals, energy.
Cons: Regardless of hard one tries, the rumble of Tina's voice cannot_be bound within a disc. = When I was a little girl I had a rag doll Only doll I've ever owned = Some artists really shouldn’t release live albums. Ever wonder why Janet Jackson and Britney Spears don’t have any CD representation of their ...

Rihanna's Rated R: A Tale Of Redemption & Resiliency by cletta1201 Pros: In some spots, she has never been better vocally

Okay, I'm Awake, but I want to be back in Comatose! by stevo71 Pros: Good music and excellent intros.
Cons: The lyrics are subpar, Should've When You Could've is Skillet's worst song yet. Skillet has been one to change styles and approaches in their career. From the raw self titled to the techno rock of Alien Youth to Awake, the band has made a career on changing. But, there is always an exception to the rule, and this is it ...

Predictions Can Lead To Truth. by glvrican Pros: About Three Tracks

More like a taste-of-a-mistake-I-wish-I-never-made... by pirate_captain Pros: The lyrics are mostly on point and classy production.

Now everybody feared him as a very skilled lyrical MC and guess what?! He wasn't glad with what he had. And that proved to be a ...
