Another wonderful gift from one of our purest talents
At times rueful, angry, sad and hopeful, Shawn Colvin's new release paints a musical landscape of deep introspection and timeless beauty.Her words penetrate the active listener, a verse, chorus or phrase may touch one of us more than another depending on what life has dealt us (or we've dealt ourselves!), but be assured that there is something here for all of us.John Leventhal (whom I saw a few weeks back onstage with his beautiful and talented wife and musical partner, Rosanne Cash), is, and always has been, a perfect match for Shawn's musical voice.Together, and surrounded by a typically great list of musicians, they have created another masterwork.

Ain't it cool-
I absolutely loved "A Few Small Repairs" and was not sure Shawn would ever be able to top it.Well, she does. I agree that less production is more-- she doesn't need it. In fact, she should do a completely solo album w/voice & guitar and maybe have a few tracks with another guitar & bass thrown in.Her rendition of Westerberg's "Even Here We Are" is perfect--and *almost* makes up for "Every Little Thing He Does is Magic..."I think John Lennon would have liked this one.Seriously.
BestShawn Colvin Album Ever!
I read on one of these things that this was not an "accessible" album or some such rot. Baloney. This is a GREAT album. Period.

Johnny Cash at His Best
This is Johnny Cash at his best. With the bio-pic "Walk The Line" making the cable TV circuit (I've watched it on HBO at least three times in the last week), people are going to start searching out Cash's albums. If you're a fan, like I am, please direct them to this honest, insightful album. The music alone is well worth the small price of this CD, but with the additional gems such as the extra photos, liner notes, and Johnny's banter between and during songs, this is by far one of the 20th century's musical classics. June Carter's wit shines through, however briefly, and her voice is as lovely and true as Cash's. Don't mistake this for your run-of-the-mill country album. This is the Man in Black at his darkest, playing prison songs to approximately 2,000 inmates. This is Cash bringing entertainment and inspiration to hardened men who are probably smiling and laughing for the first time in years.
One of the best CDs I own
This CD is an absolute blast to listen to. Not only is each and every one of the songs great, this CD also includes some of the onstage interaction between Cash, his band, and his audience that really livens things up. And this CD has very, very good sound that has been digitally remastered for the best quality of this recording to date. Crank up the volume on a good sound system and you can hear the prisoners shout all kinds of funny stuff. All in all, a very good portrait of a great entertainer.

Lots of Fun
It is ironic that even though this concert was given at a prison and most of the songs are about being destitute, this recording is fun to listen to. It really helps to have seen the movie, "Walk the Line." When you listen to the CD in the context of Cash's life and the reason he played at Folsom, this CD takes on a whole new dimension. I am not usually a fan of Country music, though I have been striving to care less about style and more about content, but this music has a lot of heart. It is not intricate, nor is it ingenious in its conception, but the passion is there. The only annoying thing is that if you are not careful, these songs get stuck in your head, especially "Folsom Prison Blues."

Maturing gracefully, while keeping the fun
I don't understand all this talk about the Red Hots "putting down their guns", "hanging their mitts" .. and so on. It's like people are expecting a band to do the same thing for 23 years and produce the same type of music, ignoring the fact that bands and musicians like the rest of us, evolve, mature, change.. etc, the point is few bands do it as gracefully and as fantastically as the Red Hots. Sure some songs sound a little bit more tame "Hard to Concentrate", others sound a little bit more Pop "Especially in Michigan", others more stadium or melodic .. but how many bands you know can deliver something like "Snow ((Hey Oh))". This songs bursts out right after the first single - "Dani California" - as if to challenge the current music scene to produce something that's even close in creativity and musicianship. Then how many bands you can think of can deliver a first grade first-nature funk like "Charlie", or "Hump De Bump", or "Storm in a Teacup". The Red Hots sure have moved in several new directions over the years, but they have managed to keep a large enough distance from anybody else doing the same type of thing, to remainsounding original. This is a band that knows how to feel, chill, go crazy and party in their songs, and this is the type of album Stadium Arcadium is. Buy it, it's unique, double albums rarely come this natural and unbloated.

Their BEST album yet!
I am a HUGE RHCP fan and so naturally i was very excited when they came out w/ a new cd and couldn't wait to get my hands on it! I wasn't disapointed when i first listened to this CD, it is TOTALLY AMAZING! There isn't a bad song on it and i simply can't keep it out of my CD player! All 28 songs are incredible and i cant praise them enough!

RHCP's Mixed Fortunes
It is with mixed feelings that I review 'Stadium Arcadium'. The Red Hot Chili Peppers are 2.5 decades old and are extreme legends of alternative rock - their style of alternative rock that is. They are the kings of funk, mixing rock with punk as they only can. This album came very much anticipated by all RHCP fans and faced a mixed critical critique by the critics and fans alike. Firstly before I dwelve into the two in one album let me state for the record that the Artwork of this album is the best original idea the band could come up with. I loved the cover and the inside of the package. The back cover could have had a better band photo. But A+ for thought into the cover, very expressive and artistic.

Alright!
I just realized this is the first Tom Petty CD i have ever bought. I bought it because I heard it on a radio program called "World Cafe'" and I was intrigued.
TOM GETS TO THE POINT, AND ROLLS ANOTHER JOINT!
...To quote his song "You don't know how it feels" recorded some 13 years ago now on his last solo album "Wildflowers."That is a truly great album, and this latest one, "Highway Companion" is pretty good too.However, Tom is looking and sounding quite sleepy and stoned on album photos and music, which makes it all seem a little insincere.

cd and dvd review
at first, your impression of how Dylan sings nowadays can be cringe-worthy. it's not his fault, it's just age that robs him of the ability to turn on a dime that any young person can do without thinking about it.
A Great Record But What About...
Yes, the record is fantastic and timeless... but in all of these 59 lengthy, overly-authoratative and sometimes ethereal reviews there is not one mention of who is on the record playing the instruments accompanying Mr. Dylan. WHO IS ON THE RECORDING?
He still has it after all these years
The album provides a very enjoyable experience. We know Bob Dylan is a jack of all trades and a master of nearly everything in the musical genre. From protest songs to love songs and then to break up songs. From acoustic, to electric, to gospel, and now onto 'modern times'. This is a feel good album through and through (...because it feels good to know that Bob still has it after all these years). The stand out tracks in my opinion are "Spirit in the Water", "Working Man's Blues #2", "Beyond the Horizon", and "Nettie Moore". If you like good music, then you'll enjoy this album for a very very long time. ... Read more

i really, really, reallllly wanted to like this album, but, even after multiple listens, the majority of the tracks here just seem like filler.i fell asleep halfway through the record.it's a shame that the bonus tracks steal the show here ["transistor" and "making ladies" especially].it's almost as if they were trying too hard to sound fresh... when all they had to do was let their new york roots grow out.the packaging seems very gimicky.i like that they took risks with this one, but sadly, it doesn't work.*cringe* despite my opinion of this album however, the scissor sisters ROCK and more power to 'em.

A real gem!
The Scissor Sisters have done it again, folks.This album just may be better than their first one.You might even catch your mom dancing to it, or at least tapping her foot.The world of music just wouldn't be the same without the Sisters!

YAAAYYYY!!!!!
This CD makes me so happy!It's like the Sisters took all the little soundbites from a late-night TV commercial selling a definitive "Music of the 70's (and maybe the very early 80's)" collection - you know the ones where you just hear the title of the song as the other song titles are scrolling by and the one you're hearing becomes blue or green or whatever color the other ones are not? - so they took all those 'bites from Helen Reddy and the Partridge Family and Leo Sayer and Pink Floyd and Blondie and they scrunched them all up into a marshmallow-like ear-pleasing spongy fluid and made a CD out of it. It's so dang cool!Favorite lyric of the year... "I can't decide whether you should live or die... you'll probably go to heaven, please don't hang your head and cry."I have a couple of coworkers whose voice evokes the rampant humming of thatline inside my head. ...

Amazing
This album is fracking amazing.Some of the most original music I've ever heard.Buy it.

Imagine my surprise...
I hate Fleetwood Mac. A lot. I have heard handfuls of songs and the odd full album and I just don't like them, especially when Stevie Nicks is added to the equation. I don't expect people to be happy about this, but it's the case.
Outstanding Work
The first time you listen to this record, you will think it's not bad.The second time, you'll think it's pretty good.The third time, you'll think it's brilliant.It takes 3 listens to appreciate the "complex simplicity" of this record and when its contrasted to the other solo works, and the Fleetwood Mac era material, it really leaves you shaking your head and wondering if Mr. Buckingham made some sort of deal with the devil for his seemingly unending talent.The only criticism is the overprocesed vocal arrangements. ...

Disappointed
I got this CD because I loved their radio hits "Bring Me To Life" and "My Immortal." While those songs are beautiful, they are not representative of the rest of the album. Although I tried and tried to get into this CD, the hard rock teen goth style just isn't my cup of tea, and the lyrics are too depressing. If you are a fan of bands such as Linkin Park or Seether, you might enjoy this. However, if you only like "My Immortal" and "Bring Me To Life" because of Amy's powerful vocals, you'd be better off listening to Tori Amos or Sarah McLachlan.

October music
What else can I add that the other reviews haven't already said? For me music usually unlocks feelings and emotions that very often are tied to places in time and seasons. This album feels like October in Maine to me. October is without a doubt the best month there is and if you ever have to be in Maine, October is the best time to be there. This album evokes the early twilight and cool breezes coming off Casco Bay, moving through the autumn leaves. Really an amazing album. Amy Lee is an amazing vocalist and I'd recommend this album to anyone who has an inner goth.

Best starter
this is great rock cd. the lyrics are fresh and catchy. it has the rock escence and the vocals of an angel with some piano splashed throughout!

Audioslave
Being a lover of great music, including the political genre of RATM as alot of you like to refer them as, and also Soundgarden and Temple of the Dog, and loving AudioSlave so much because of the devout attention they pay to the fact that they are a band and no one is going to do a solo CD, this CD jumped out as a fantastic result of guys loving what they do, collaborating in that and wanting to test the spiritual, blues, funk and rock envelope.Put some good headphones on, adjust your bass, treble, fade, etc. and listen to the words, the bassline, the drumbeat and the fact that without having to shove it down your throat or make a point, they CAN make you think. Rock snobs, do not apply.Cornell's voice is without a doubt at its best and he seems happy and content.

In the liner notes to their major label debut, Oklahoma City's Hinder endorse tequila, Belvedere, Crown Royal, Jägermeister, and Mr. Watson 540. In "Get Stoned," photogenic Austin Winkler (who sounds tougher than he looks) rasps, "Let's go home and get stoned." Later, he adds, "The break-up is worth the make-up sex you're givin' me." In "Bliss (I Don't Wanna Know)," the lead singer laments, "The vodka's running on empty." This is a problem because, "I can't stay sober/if it's over."

I liked this album
Dispite all the bad reviews, i enjoyed this album very much. I don't stick to one sound, I'll listen to anything from Whitesnake to Manson to Hinder. Hinder's beats and lyrics are catchy and i find myself singing along and "rockin" out in my car...I do get the occasional strange looks from others. I enjoy listening to them on my way to work, Hinder gets me pumped, ready for the day! Everyone has different tastes in bands and everyone's opinion should be taken into considereation. When i read the reviews, i don't get frustrated when i see a bad review, I'm happy i made this purchase, as a matter of fact...I think ill put Hinder's cd in now!!

Qualified
I hated NIckelback.So the first two reviews I saw that trashed this band on account of nickelback were a plus.Recently, here in Anchorage we have a new "new rock" radio station, and they played "Lips of an Angel" pretty heavy and it caught me.Considering the local radio station (for those interested in esoterica, it's 98.7 The KZND and they rock) introduced me to "The Killers", "Snow Patrol", and "Three Days Grace", I will buy this album, and I bet I'll like it.Go sticker Joe!

Get Over It
That's what I say to the first 2 reviewers with all the Nickleback comparisons."Lips of an Angel" is so far from anything Nickleback-ish that's it's not even in the same decade.This is a power ballad through and through reaching back to the great years of the format and ranking up with best of them right next to Tesla and the lot.I had almost thought that true power ballads in rock were dead till hearing this song.It's nice to see I was wrong.

Another good album, no signs of fading here!!!!
I bought this album the day it came out, and the more you listen to it, the more it grows on you.Sure, nickelback has a sound that hasn't changed much from Silver Side Up, but that's what many good rock bands do, find a sound and continue to evolve it.This album is multiplatinum for a reason.It bridges gaps over many radio formats and listeners.SO they release different songs to different stations, have many fareweather fans, ect...that is what they are in the music business for, to get their music heard by anyone who wants to listen. I myself prefer the heavier songs on the album.But the album as a whole is pretty solid stuff.
Album Number 5 but sounds like "number 2" pun intended.
Title says enough. Rockstar is the last song on the album and it is being played on the top 40 stations. Change the title to Pop star. get them a cover on Teen Dreamz Magazine. "stay skinny"

I've said it before; I'll say it again:
"at least they released the right songs."

It's no surprise that a group named after something said during a baseball game would title an album after something said during a basketball match. It is a bit of a surprise that this band remains so incredibly good, and capable of surprising even longtime listeners. This one's so diverse and such a mixture of different styles, it's reminiscent of the group's all-request on-air shows they play annually to support New Jersey-based radio station WFMU. Book-ended by two long, droney tunes, you've got garage-rock rave-ups, country-pop, horn-driven R&B, little gorgeous atmospheric songs, some brilliant falsetto singing, and... this list could go on and on. Who else would think to pair conga-style percussion to a Suicide-esque synth drone? Or even to work with longtime Dylan collaborator and strings arranger and violinist David Mansfield and have genius illustrator Gary Panter do the artwork at the same time? It's the little things that matter, especially when you mastered the big ones twenty-plus years ago.Read more

subpar
i think 3 stars is generous.i am pretty dissapointed with the album.. i thought that Summer Sun was a good direction for them to go in, but this does not meet the bar they made for themselves with 'I Can Hear..' or 'And Then Nothing..'There are a few good tracks but the album is not consistent and it's way too long.Hopefully the next one will be better

an eclectic album by YLT
All of you who already know YLT wide musical affinities, will sure enjoy the last effort by the outstanding Hoboken trio. You'll find all sorts of songs in here, up and downbeat, but, trust me, all of them excellent. The LP runs 70' long, which is a lot, but keeps the level high all the way through.Understand me, it's not a mood album, like Electropura or Summer Sun are, but does pretty well the job, which is, delivering 15 pop-rock nuggets for the forthcoming fall winds. Don't miss it!
terrific indie record that runs a little long
Before I talk about how good this album is, I want to get my major gripe out of the way. This album is too long. 15 tracks, 77 minutes long, and it demonstrates that it is very hard, if not impossible, for a record that length to maintain any cohesion.

Another Great Indigo Girls Album!
The title of this new Indigo Girls album makes it natural to compare the song-writing styles of the two Indigo Girls a little.
Deserved better recording and producing
I am a huge IG fan. Don't regret the purchase at all. I enjoy the songs, but this CD seems rushed. Something is missing in the mixing or recording or something. Seems that there is no intrumental or vocal nuance, unimaginative background music, almost the kind of thing you get with a live recording. Sometimes the background vocals overpower the song (Pink sounds great in Rock n Roll Heavens Gate but totally overpowers Amy, Emily and the intruments IMHO). I think it would have been a much better album had more time and attention to detail been spent in production and recording.

Just like when you were on the Today show w/ Bryant Gumbel
Wow - okay, this album reminds me of the music that made me want to sing, write, and play guitar when I was 13 years old.There I was, watching the Today show with Bryant Gumbel...and there they were, the Indigo Girls performing Closer to Fine.I had no idea who they were, but I loved their sound, it was like nothing I had heard before - so I asked my mom to buy me the album.That same year I went to one of my first concerts and watched IG perform with Joan Baez and sure enough I was a folk music lover.

Great follow up album
This is a great sophomore effort by the australian band Jet, it doesn't just recreate Get Born, in fact I think there sound has changed quite a bit. Their sound has shifted to more of a beatles sound then their previous album which was mainly the Ac/dc and rolling Stones influences being played. This album also seems to rip off less songs, on the last album nearly every song I could find another song that they had ripped it off from, that is not the case here. You also get a good variety of music here from the hard rocking tunes such as holiday, put your money where your mouth is, and Stand UP, to beautiful ballads such as shine on. My favorite tracks on the album would have to put your money where your mouth is and the very beatlezque shiny magizine. If you like retro rock or Just rock for the matter you owe it ro yourself to pick this up.
Are you kidding me? This will kick you upside the head...
I cannot believe how freaking unbelievably good this album is.
Jet have found "their own" sound
It's great to see a band grow up before your eyes and if you are a fan of Jet's last album Get Born, one listen to this album and you will realize how much this band has grown up.I loved Get Born and thought it was of the best rock albums to come out in the last 10 years.On Get Born Jet showed their influences from the likes of artists such as The Beatles, AC/DC, The Rolling Stones, and The Kinks on different songs through out the album.Shine On shows that within the last 3 years since Get Born, Jet have found their own sound.They still show some of their influences on songs like "Shiny Magazine" or "Eleanor" which could have been written by John Lennon himself or the Bob Dylan sounding tune "Hey Kids".Jet have also showed their own sound by establishing the groove guitar/drumsounds and rocking melodies on songs like "Come On Come On" and the first single "Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is".The stand out track for me on this album is the album title "Shine On".This is a great song with a mix of piano, great lyrics with good vocal range, and they even throw some soulful female backround vocals.The songs on Shine On are well crafted and Produced very well as they should be because they have been working on this album for 3 years.This album isn't as edgy or as hard rocking as Get Born is, but it is a much more crafted and there is more range and profesionalism in this album.Bottom line is this album is solid all around and there aren't any skip over tracks.It is a must if you liked the last album. ...

A mainstream release for Shanty Music?Thank You, Mr. Depp!
Hi friends, my name is Dean Calin, one of the singers with Bounding Main.We have released two CDs and are working on our third.I've been performing sea shanties since 1995 and am personal friends with many of the Big Name Performers in this genre.I love the traditional stuff and think that it is Important Music, both for our culture and history.That said, Bounding Main delivers traditional sea shanties and maritime music with arrangements for the modern ear.There are people out there like Tom Lewis and David HB Drake and Lee Murdock doing the songs the traditional way and doing them well.It was our choice to perform in Elizabethan mariner costumes (if you want to call us "pirates," okee-dokee) and to write and perform harmonic and theatrical arrangments.Some of the traditional performers are kvetching like mad about this CD:"Johnnie Depp is going to make tons of money with mainstream artists who don't even know what this music is about, when (this traditional artist) and (another traditional artist) have been out on the ships and the cold, getting wet and bringing the history to the people!"My take is that if Mssrs. Depp, Verbinski, et. al. can bring maritime music to the mainstream, it will only benefit ALL of us!
Eclectic mix of singers and styles reinvigorates these ballads
The two-disc 'Rogue's Gallery' is a fun and rollicking collection of singers and styles. Forget that it could be misconstrued as a sloppy cash-in by Depp and Verbinksi from the 'Pirates of the Caribean' sequel (which it doesn't feel like) and, on listening, just take it as a reimagining of sea chanties and old english ballads. On first listen, it seemed as though the discs were thematically divergent, with disc 2 having more of the songs sung traditionally while disc 1 contained more individually flavoured covers. Wh
