Compared to "Directions to See a Ghost," which for me fulfilled the promise of "Passover," this third album's less consistent and more eclectic. I understand why. The band risked … more

I downloaded this onto my mp3 as soon as it was released. I have to say that as a fan of Poison, since the beginning, I am loving following along with Bret and his solo career. This album is guaranteed … more

I was including a review of the CD in my blog and linking it to Amazon. I was surprised to find that there aren't already some reviews here on Amazon. There has been much talk … more
She & Him offers the best of both pop worlds: alternative and sixties pop. For the latter, lead singer Zooey Deschanel's effervescent vocals are reminiscent of the best vintage memories: Dusty Springfield, … more
A great album from my early high school years with a great mix of rock, pop, slow and fast tunes. Nearly every song on this ten track masterpiece is a winner. Call me crazy but the big hit Lowdown is … more
Sorry STP, but I just can't accept what you have become. I understand that people and bands change with the times, but that doesn't mean I have to like what both have become. Stone Temple Pilots like … more

Stadium Arcadium is a true gem. It has it all: rock, pop, funk, metal, rap and various combos. Some may say the band sold out but I say they have grown into a band that can adapt to many audiences. Anthony … more
Based on reviews from a lot of media outlets and past Hole fans, my first reaction to this release was to stay clear from it. Then I gave the album a listen or two and you know what I realized? 'Nobody's … more

Band: Radiohead Album: In Rainbows What I need most in this world is a reason,a reason to be and express that being in a beneficial way to others. … more
Very worthy recording by these German Rockers. Many of the songs are heavy guitar driven. However, there are some little ubtle touches that make this recording stand out a bit. One is the beautiful closing … more
Yeah, it's self-conscious, yeah, it takes itself seriously to the point of pretention, and yes, I arrived at it prepared to recognize another overhyped mesh of faux-messianic Nineties whine-rock--but … more
Don McLean is great. But there are several compilation albums available and this is about the worst, and is not even the cheapest. If you are an absolute completist fan, and want every version of every … more
Oh to listen to brand new perfect, well pressed vinyl. This album is an amazing pleasure to listen to on vinyl. There is a reason In Rainbows was the top selling vinyl album in 2008, it's well near perfect. … more
"In Rainbows" is Radiohead's best album since "Kid A," and their most organic recording since "OK Computer" in 1997, or maybe even since "The Bends." It's remarkably taut, losing some steam toward the … more

Pros: Stunning harmonies, biting political satire. Cons: Offensive if one is insecure or doesn't have a sense of humor. The Bottom Line: Moxy Fruvous is … more
