title: Horrid, utterly horrid

text: As already mentioned, the sound quality would embarrass a 1967 Dylan bootleg.  Recorded on a low quality cassette recorder with the cheapest of microphones.  Lots of wow, flutter, and channel drop-outs, a 4kHz high end.  In places it sounds like the tape had gotten wrinkled to hell and back in a cheap car tape player.  Save your money.  As has been mentioned - this really is a bootleg recording, and needs to be judged as such - wow, flutter, dropouts and all.  I'm not into bootlegs, I like the best recordings I can get my hands on.  I can only be thankful I got hold of the public library copy - and back it goes.

title: very smart, and revealing. A toss of fiction and fact that doesn't get too dirty with sleazy dramatics.

text: Although short, and demeaningly unpartisan, you get a transformational performance, not just by Helen Mirren, but by Micheal Sheen who plays PM Tony Blair. I've sat in and watched the PM many times on CSpan, particularly during his defensive speeches in the tumultuous court where the house of commons is held and Sheens likeness is staggering for me and also brings a real, profound feel to the film which is pursued to an even higher level with the smart screen play. Toss any mention of awards out the window, truely see this film for a rare opportunity to see a powerful and meaningful lead female performance. I mean performance in every new sense of the word. It almost reminds me of the possessive performance last year by Philip Seymour Hoffman as Capote. I can only imagine the homework needed for such insightful and catapulting performances. This isn't a directors film, its a film carried by its actors, much like this years Dreamgirls but yet it blends so seemlessly together that without some sort of nod in Stephen Frears, I would feel consciously guilty. It takes the 'right' man for the job to capture all the goodness of this film and not flounder it! At least I must imagine. Sort of like too much talent on one basketball team, and you end up with only a conference championship because of the impossible complexities and overwhelming duty towards placing all of them coherently together. Since the awards have an almost stale approach to gifting the years best movie award to factional movies dealing with unpopular times, I would make this film the sleeper hit. But all bets are with the Departed. It's Martins year.


title: The only CD of the second Album

text:
Well, I will admit, the sound quality is not the best, but I had both mint condition records, when I had my record collection, the discs had alot of ambient noise. The song "Candy Machine" in the quiet trailoff has several snaps and pops, which were also present on my  record. Initially, I was confused by the "damage" to a mint record, but didn't worry about it. Now, I am beginning to suspect it was intentional background noise. Maybe the Germans just happen to buy a very similiar record to myself. Likewise, "In the Year 2525" there is a strange electronic reprocessing buzz, making the music sound recorded many times over.

The music is more bubble gummy than I remember, but still well written and catchy. I recommend this album set.

Too bad "The Early Writings of Zager and Evans" isn't available, too. Hydra 15000 is a classic...must find! I recall having five or six Zager and Evans LPs, but I can only remember 4, right now.


title: Timeless

text: A great album. Even though it is short, the songs are timeless. I listen to it over and over again.


title: The Legend of the Beatles Continues!

text: There are many gems that highlight THE BEATLES ANTHOLOGY 2. The interesting ones are the unreleased tracks such as THAT MEANS A LOT (a Phil Spector influenced love ballad), IF YOU'VE GOT TROUBLE, and 12-BAR ORIGINAL (a blues instrumental). Alternate takes such as GOT TO GET YOU INTO MY LIFE is totally different from the version released on REVOLVER. One of the most interesting tracks is the rousing AND YOUR BIRD CAN SING (also from REVOLVER)where the Beatles are laughing and giggling though the whole take (there are some hints they might have been on a "pot high" during the session). Overall,the CD's are a great companion piece to THE BEATLES ANTHOLOGY documentaries. However, there is one downside to this CD. On disc one, track 12, the live version of HELP!. It is obvious that John Lennon has forgot some of the lyrics and mumbles the misplaced passages to get through the song. One would think with hours of tapes in the EMI vaults, the powers-that-be could have found something else to fill the void. It is as if the remaining Beatles wanted to somehow slightly break down the Lennon-myth/legend.


title: Great album, great band

text: This is a great album. The band takes chances musically. Every track is solid, no need to skip songs and definitely worth the price. Comes with the digital download code too.


title: Excellent.

text: I bought this album because the remade film of the "The Italian Job" has no soundtrack. I am however thoroughly pleased with this album. There are a great variety of fun/angry moods to take you.


title: I Hate to be a Dissenting Opinion

text:
In theory, I love the idea of an all instrumental Nine Inch Nails album.  Trent Reznor's tortured and perpetually adolescent lyrics don't have the same effect on me that they had when when I was 13 or 14.  They used to scare the crap out of me, but now they seem more childish every day.

However, Reznor always makes fascinating musical backdrops.  Reznor's music is challenging and accesible at the same time.  I love his layered and meticulous production.  The music on Ghosts I-IV is almost like a sampler of the various musical styles that he's been through.  You have songs that sound like The Fragile, songs that sound like Year Zero, and songs that sound like With Teeth.  It all features Reznor's typical deft production, except it has more of an ambient slant.

So Ghosts I-IV is Reznor's version of Music for Airports.  Having listened to this album closely as well as using it as background music while i'm working, i've got to say it functions better as background music.  Just like Music for Airports is suspose to be the musical equivilent of art hanging on the wall, Ghosts I-IV functions in much the same way.  I wish a close listen was more rewarding, but Ghosts just doesn't bear out close examination.

I have to comment on the distribution, which takes the In Rainbows model to the next step.  Instead of paying what you want and getting some low quality MP3s, Ghosts is avaliable at different price levels and the MP3 quality is much better.  You can also get it lossless format.  This is the future of musical distribution.

After getting sober, Reznor has either rediscovered his ambition or is bored as hell, because this is his second album in as many years, opposed to twice a decade releases fans have had to endure in the past.  The packaging on the deluxe editions is quite lovely, and the slide show and booklet that come with the download are interesting, especially if you're a fan of musical gear.

Ghosts I-IV will definitely please fans of Nine Inch Nails but isn't going to win over any new converts.  It's an interesting experiment, both musically and in marketing.


title: BACK TO MONO

text:
This is an absolute for die hard Nyro fans. I own both the stereo and mono versions of these LPs--although worn with time. I also own the CD's--in the case of ELI, not only the remastered stereo but the SACD as well. Laura got me through my teenage angst during the 60s/early 70s. As a fellow New Yorker I related all too well to her lyrics, especially the second side of "Christmas". Anyway....

The remastered mono version is crystal clear and Real Gone Music should be commended on the restoration; why Columbia did not issue these two mono version is rather odd, but at least someone has.  If you are only familiar with the more popular stereo version, let me say there is a difference.

The mixes on many of the songs are vastly different with either heightened backing vocals or slightly different arrangements. Both discs, of both LPs, have a difference but MORE THAN A NEW DISCOVERY is a major notice. First, if you own the reissue of this on Columbia, and not the original on Verve/Forecast, the track listing on both mono and stereo were vastly altered. Verve/Forecast even altered the track listing on the stereo and mono LP releases in the day. The mono track listing is far, far superior and the tracks make far more sense in their flow. Again, I own both LP versions and in the day I was always far more partial to the mono LP, but stereo was the thing so I must admit I did play the stereo version much more. The track listing for ELI on both stereo and mono LPs were identical so no real change there other than as I stated the mixes are slightly different.

There is no need for me to go into the music as if you are purchasing this CD you know the quality of the songs---be they the BIG hits or not. For a woman who could not read or write music, she sure knew what to do despite those "obstacles."  Her three "cornerstone" LPs are the highlight of her career and for most of us who grew up with her during that time period are cemented in our subconscious forever.

This two CD set is really for the ardent, tried and true Laura fans. Just buy it and add to your existing Laura CD collection. If you still have the mono LPs, these will omit all the ticks and bumps as when you first put needle to vinyl back in 1967/68.

ENJOY!


title: Their best LP

text: By far, their best LP which went nowhere chart wise. I have an old very worn LP copy.  With the vast majority of their catalog released on CD (which I have no use for at all), the one LP I would want to see on CD has never made it to that format.  I hope Universal Music (if they still own the master) decides at some point to release...this is a great LP and worth owning.


title: Ugh

text:
I like the music a lot. The music is awesome. But the preachers are awful. I don't even need to know what they are saying - their smug, arrogant tone of voice says enough.

Why do people feel the need to listen to people like this? Do they just like to be bossed around or something? Be told what to think? Be condescended to like they are an idiot? I used to listen to preachers when I was younger. Then I realized that I could think for myself on what the Bible says, and I don't need some random dude to tell me what to think. I really don't understand people who just want to sit there and zone out. It's just brainwashing.

So... GREAT music! Ruined by ridiculous, arrogant vocals. No thanks.


title: Really Good Album

text:
I'm not a Christian but you don't have to be to appreciate this album. It's just really good music. It's got a timeless sort of beauty to it. It's not your standard Contemporary Christian radio junk. The songs really stand out, and it has a nice use of many different instruments. My favorite is probably "Live in the Light". I also like "Sister it's a Mean World" and "Here, There, or In the Air". The story of Jesus and God's sacrifice for mankind is a great and moving story, even if is (in my opinion) only a story.

It saddens me a lot that Dana Key has passed away. But I still enjoy listening to his two solo albums, and Degarmo and Key.


title: Really Good

text:
I first bought this in 1992 upon a recommendation (from Todd at John 3:16 Christian gifts in Texarkana - shout out to ya, Todd!). After my first listen, my impression was, "Man does this sound weak." But my opinion has changed over time. It is now one of my favorite Christian techno albums from that era.

It is a bit short as an album, with only 8 tracks. But the music has a very good quality to it. It is not overly energetic or bombastic, as is typical of the techno/dance bands at the time. It is more subtle, more melodic.

One thing I like is that for the vocalist, it's not so much about the quality of the voice. Not that he's a bad singer, but it is more about the words used themselves. They are haunting, and powerful. Far better than 99% of the pop fluff you hear nowadays.

This album contains some of the best poetry I have ever heard. The themes are extremely introspective. They are Christian, but not in a fundamentalist "in your face" sort of way. It is not trying to evangelize you. And it is certainly not in the vein of all the sappy, romantic-sounding love songs to God that seem to be all the rage on Christian radio these days. It is written from a more down-to-earth point of view: the standpoint of a Christian trying to figure things out, and better understand himself and the world.

Examples:

Small Square Boxes - "This box is all I have known, constructed from what I've sown. A part of my history, imprisoning me."

"Life's like the wind, through two hands. Like the last breath of a dying man. One day it will open, and unfold. An empty shell, without a soul."

No Place to Stand - "Lying awake in the dead of night, its maddening silence screaming. Why do I have faith to move mountains, but not the love to move my heart?"

"Toil the fallow ground of souls, hand to plow, sweat to soil. Every name bears a face, touch those that have no place to stand."

"Small Square Boxes" is awesome. I wish Technokcraci had made more. Sometime I'll have to try to track down the artists and see what else they've done since. No doubt there is more music from them out there somewhere. You can't keep artists this creative from creating. It's in their blood.


title: Great CD!

text: Great CD. Love the rendition of "Christ the Lord is risen today" on the last track.


title: Kids favorite and mommy too

text: My boys love listening to this album. Instant dance party. Special place in my heart for this album since it is about a city I spent many years in while attending school. Big love for the little d.


title: love to hear him sing

text: beautifully packaged, lots of bonus pictures


title: Love, love love Cream, ok, get it. Not so much? Avoid!

text: Unless you simply HAVE to own everything done by Cream, this is a totally avoidable purchase. I love em so it doesn't bother me, but it's not for the casual fan, raw sound at best.


title: Excellent

text: This Cd was a blessing I loved the music and singing and would reccomend them to everyone. I also ordered one for my sister.<br />Jenny

Nice addition to my collection.
Good to share with this generation as to what good music sounds like.
Thanks!  Will enjoy for a long time.


title: My favorite for Christian Baby gifts!

text: This is such a wonderful CD of songs that babies & grown ups alike can enjoy.


title: Very pleased!

text: I know Hector Pimentel personally -- he played for my son's wedding in 1991, and for my second wedding in 2009.  He's such a wonderful artist -- can't recommend him highly enough.  I purchased this CD for my uncle who wasn't able to attend our wedding.


title: Nothing wrong with Elvis!

text: I was disappointed that only the first CD had his wonderful well known songs.  The second CD had songs I was unfamiliar with, and weren’t really good.


title: The music goes on

text: All of Cher's big hits from the 60s on. Her different voice tones on "All I Really Want to Do" almost sound like a duet with Sonny. Not only Cher but her duets with Sonny on this set. Early 70s 3 number ones here.  I love "Cowboy's Work is Never Done" with clever lyrics and booming orchestra. "Believe" maybe her biggest song was a disco smash 20 years after disco was pretty well gone. You get all of her big songs plus the S&C hits. Buy this!


title: Cher's voice is timeless--over half a century

text: Love this album. Though like many ageing stars, Cher has a fake face and hair, the best of Cher is her very real and timeless voice. Love her Abba songs. Easier to understand her words maybe cause English is her first language. You will play this over and over.


title: Heard it in these love songs! Can't be wrong

text: Wow! Imagine a group with a flute soloist and they play country/blues/rock all really well.  Favorite is "Heard It in a Love Song" one of a few songs opening with a flute!  Song also solos accoustic guitar electric guitar and piano! Great fiddling too!  All songs great.  Get this double cd set for lots of good music!


title: The earthy trinity--Dionne's voice singing many of the Bacharach and David songs

text: Dionne is wonderful and does everything well that she sings.  Her voice is like heaven.  The only reason I rated four stars is that some of the very same songs are repeated on the first three albums.  (This was probably done in the 60s but it was not fair to fans to get the same songs twice).  Many of Bacharach and David songs are on these as these are early Dionne.  I love the packaging similar to miniature albums and much prefer CDs.


title: I'm Sorry --I did't buy this album sooner!

text: Wow!  Brenda Lee was only a teenager and had a powerful voice inside a tiny body.  Both her slow and fast recordings are truly amazing.  I had her greatest hits but wanted albums to hear some of her non radio recordings.  At this price and package, you will not go wrong.  This package includes her other number one "I Want to Be Wanted" "Sweet Nothings" and many more all good.  The song "Eventually" sounds like it would have been a big hit if ever released a a single..


title: I love this purse

text:
I love this purse. I was nervous that I would feel like it was too small of a purse when I first ordered it, but have found it to be the perfect size. It was two side pockets that I rarely use except just to keep stuff safe. I never lose anything in it because it's a smaller size, yet everything I need fits in it. The strap is also perfect for just putting over your shoulder or you can wear as a crossbody. The straps on the purse are a little small and it's not comfortable to put your arm through them and carry the purse on your arm. That's my only complaint thought.

I also love the color. I've never had a pink purse and was worried a) it would be too bright and b) it wouldn't go with anything. But I wear it all the time and don't think the color is that bright either.


title: The Voice of an Angel

text: No better album.  Have purchased it more than once as gifts.


title: Jeanette MacDonald & Nelson Eddy

text: All the albums ordered were in good shape, even when the case was not.  They were excellent.  Thank you very much.


title: A Step back into the Past

text: Kathy Young & the Innocents take you back to your teen years as you listen to this disc.  A good listen while you are driving a distance.


title: I use these for my bass clarinet pegs.

text: I use these for my bass clarinet pegs.  Rubber tips.  Work great!  1/4" and 7mm pegs.


title: I'm obsessed with this 2 CD set.

text: Billy Joel has been singing me to and from work everyday since this arrived.


title: THE BEST YET!!!

text: This CD inspires me with hope, praise and joy everyday!!!  I hate that I didn't know about it before now.


title: love song cd

text: I remember Love Song when they first came out and I even own an LP album of this one. This was some of the best Christian music written and it truly touches the heart.


title: Bringing scripture to life

text: The series originally came out while I was in grade school in the late 80s and early 90s.  My family would listen to them in the car.  I loved them.  I still do!  I learned so many verses by heart from this series.  I think children can identify with the experiences the characters face, and see how scripture really applies to what they go through in their lives.  My "all-time" favorite episode was number 4, "The Great Race of Faith."  That how I took Romans 8:28 as my life verse.  This series is very impacful.  We had them on cassettes when I was growing up.  I am now middle-aged.  My husband and I haven't had our own children, but are in the process of adoption.  I bought the whole GT series on CD for our kids.  I've been enjoying listening to them myself!

text: This is such a beautiful collection, I give it as part of each new baby gift. So beautiful and soothing for both baby AND parent!


title: Donna Cori Gibson by singing gives a new dimension to the traditional rosary prayers

text: I adore the way Donna Cori Gibson brings out the spirituality of the traditional rosary prayers with her music.  Her voice is uniquely suited for singing spiritual music. Her music moves me to tears of joy when I hear it. She has more wonderful CDs and DVDs on her website.


title: Taemin<3

text: The album came in amazing condition. It is one of my favorite albums because I can feel Taemin's emotions. The one thing I wasn't very happy about is that I was hoping to receive the Press It poster but instead I got the Move - ing Repackage poster. I already have that poster so now I have a second one. Sucks, but it is what it is.


title: Very excited!!!

text: It came in a box and very well wrapped!!! There was no damage to it at all!!! It came with everything as stated. Was supposed to arrive around the 30th of January but came earlier (that's a plus).<br />I was hoping for a Taehyun photocard, but I'm not mad about getting Longguo or Donghan💖 I love them all.

title: Ignorant reviews by ignorant people

text: The clown who hated this album and suggested old time classic rock like The Cult, AC/DC is what the kids should listen to so wrong in so many ways. Rock did not start with The Cult or AC/DC. He/she is obviously too young to appreciate anything older than the 1980's music. This is silly fun songs that people from the '50's and 60's grew up listening to. And for some young ignorant clown to call it garbage shows their lack of knowledge for Rock music. If you do not like this music that's one thing but to call it garbage is an ignorant appraisal of this music.

This is suitable for a baby as well although targeted for adults.  Cover states:  Deep strings and dreamlike flutes cascade over calming Delta Waves to create prolonged states of tranquility. Scientific studies show that Delta Waves, which emulate brain waves in deep sleep, can assist those who have trouble falling asleep.  Give it a try.  Use in addition to relaxation exercises.  Beats taking a pill although it is not a miracle worker if that is what you are looking for.

text: I listen to this before going to bed.  It is not just for babies. Puts me to sleep ever time!!!


title: "X-ray Sierra", album by Tom Cochrane.

text: This is a disappointing offering from this talented Canadian artist. The songs are generally mellow & weak as compared to those from albums like "Mad Mad World" or those with the band Red Rider. Apart from the songs "Stonecutter's Arms", "Art Of Listening" & "Beautiful Day", there is very little to offer. It is for the real fan to have as part of collection. Cochrane can certainly offer much better product. I'm afraid this is his worst CD release of his career so far.


title: SPICE OR GLITTER?

text: Love this set of dvd and cd combination. The only thing wrong about it, it's not like the other sets so far that I've known. The cover picture and the title of it, make you think that the video clip is "Spice" , but it is not. The video clip in this dvd is "Glitter", so it is a Glitter set, althou, it do has the Spice song in the cd as well the Glitter song. In overall, it's a super cool video clip of the song Glitter. I like it so much, Perfume, A-Chan, Kashiyuka and Nocchi are the best techo-pop group of the trio girls from Japan.

title: WAZ - One of a Kind For Sure

text: I played on this record  it was my first studio recording date. WAZ still, after all these years has an authentic uniqueness which has become his hallmark. A true folk/blues icon. I own this record. Buy it - it might the last one around for a long time.


title: Coll

text: The cd has the best music, but this on is good to watch to see how they did the play


title: She is amazing

text: I have heard some of her albums, and wow. She definitely has a talent. I am a fan now for sure.


title: Five Stars

text: thank you


title: Her absolute best

text: In my opinion, her best album to date, including "1989."  Should have won Album of the Year.  All selections are prime with the possible exception of "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together."  Recommend the deluxe version, particularly for "The Moment I Knew."


title: mariah guillermo

text: i dont know whos sarah geronimo but know i  do i heard her music and loved it<br />so thats all i got to say


title: Inexpensive high quality album

text: Won't wear out like an LP and last a lifetime it you use the right CD player. The art isn't as good as an LP but is still good for a CD. Good to buy for kids that need to learn how to take care of their physical music before you buy them expensive LPs which I'm sure they all want for Christmas this year. Cassettes more durable for a child but might be more expensive than a CD at this point. CDs also have a cleaner sound than LPs and cassettes but aren't as true.

title: I particularly love these two songs

text: I particularly love these two songs, and this vinyl is perfect.. Now I don't have to open the full record if I want to just play these two songs. Fast shipping from the seller, item arrived safely.


title: Fun and Upbeat

text:
Avril Lavigne - Love Sucks is upbeat and fun, I like it a lot better than Head Above Water album, even though i did like a few songs from that album, it mostly fell flat for me, because there weren't enough upbeat songs.  This album has almost all upbeat songs, they are fun and catchy, some songs take a few listens but grow on you.

My favorite songs are Bois Lie, Bite Me, Love it When You Hate Me, Love Sux, Avalanche, DEJA VU, F.U.

I love all the collabs and I love the way the dialogue goes back and forth between the singers in all of the collabs, it is fun and catchy.

All the other songs are decent too, just took a few listens for them to grow on me.

Overall, this album has a pop punk feel and I really like it.


title: Not Your Traditional Powwow Drumming

text: Great mix of "new age" instrumentals/voices with "native American" beat/rhythm. Can't quite figure the authenticity of the songs but love listening to the arrangements by The Fearsome Brave using headphones. Any others like this out there?


title: Great songs.

text: Come on doesn't everyone love Taylor swift.


title: Great Album of a Younger and Developing Starfield

text: This album is great! I'm a huge Starfield fan, and the tracks on here are good, though the sound is not yet as refined. Some of the songs like "Filled With Your Glory" "Can I Stay Here Forever" and "Cry in My Heart" were later added and re-recorded for their debut album with Sparrow Records. However, it is refreshing to hear a more stripped down version of their songs without all the glossy post production. This album definitely foreshadows some of their later works and their sound of today. There are a few tracks that seem a little raw still, but that just may be due to the fact that this album was not professionally produced. But in the end, it's all about praising and worshiping God, something these men excel in. Great music from a younger Starfield before they were a signed group!


title: What's not to like

text: Started listening to the Lumineers after a suggestion from my brother and sister-in-law. They're awesome. And this little vinyl is great!


title: ME LOVE IT

text: Very good CD for Taylor Swift Fans


title: Good

text: My husband is a huge Taylor Swift fan and he kept asking me to get him this CD specifically the Deluxe Edition...he told me they are only available at Target.  WELL...Thank goodness I did not go to Target.  Amazon pricing wa comparable and all I had to do was wait for it to come in the mail.  And...No stolen credit card information!


title: Taylor hits a homerun with every song.

text: It's hard to believe that Taylor Swift is so young when you listen to both her lyrics and the diversity of her voice.  'Red,Deluxe' is stellar with its original songs and new additions.  The range of styles is terrific and it seems that so many of these tunes could be #1 hits.  I think that this is one of the best albums I've seen her or any artist put out in a long time.  She's about the only young artist who can still count as a role model among all of the other disappointing and bad examples young people have out there - and she appeals to an older listening audience as well.

title: Track By Track Review.

text:
Keep in mind that this is by soneone who has been a Taylor Swift fan Since her first album.

Red:

1.) State of Grace: Powerful album opener!! It has a more soft rock U2 feel. Overall a very good song.  10/10
2.) Red: Lots of comparisons in the lyric.  It is a pop/country crossover.  Very catchy! 9/10
3.) Treacherous: One of my favorites. Slower song with wonderful lyrics about sacrifices for love. 10/10
4.) I Knew You Were Trouble: Pop song. Its a fun upbeat song. Skip it if you don't like her pop style 8/10
5.) All Too Well: Best song on the album. A slow song talking about  her old memories. PURE LYRICAL GENIUS. This song apeals to all! Sounds like her song "Back to December" 11/10
6.) 22:  Yes, It's a pop song with Fun and reckless lyrics. Overall a catchy song. 7/10
7.) I Almost Do: Doesn't really stick out to much in my book.  It's not a bad song though. 9/10
8.) We are never ever getting back together: As y'all know its a pop song. Its really fun though. Not a very good song. Its repetitive. 6/10
9.) Stay Stay Stay: Happy song!!! Pop country cross over!! Upbeat piano background music. One of my favorites! 10/10
10.) The Last Time (Feat. Gary Lightbody of Snow Patrol): I personaly don't like this mans voice. Its a very heavy song for Taylor's voice. 6/10.
11.)  Holy Ground: Again, doesn't really stick out to my attention. 8/10
12.) Sad Beautiful Tragic: A slow, sad song. I love the Instrumentation. 9/10
13.) The Lucky One: About the pressures stars have. I love this song because it is different. 9/10
14.) Everything Has Changed (Feat. Ed Sheeran):  This song is okay. Not bad. It just never caught my eye. 8/10
15.) Starlight: Classic Taylor Swift upbeat, rainbows and unicorns song. I love this song. 10/10
16.) Begin Again: Country feel to it. It is a very good song that is about a budding relationship. 9/10

Bonus Tracks!!

1.) The Moment I Knew: This is by far the best of the bonus tracks! Builds up to the chorus with its instruments included in it. Sad song about her getting stood up (true story). 11/10
2.) Come Back.. Be here: Average song that I don't usually listen to. 8/10
3.) Girl at Home: Love it. It is very different in the sense its not about one of her relationships or a particular instance. 10/10
4.) Treacherous Demo Version: I don't think it sounds different from the other one. 10/10
5.) Red Original Demo Version: More pop feel. just a little difernet at some parts. 8.5/10
6.) State of Grace Acoustic: It is still good but the original is better. 5/10

The bottom line!!
BUY THIS ALBUM


title: Just Awesome!!

text: I have listened to most of Taylor Swift's music and I love it. But I have to say this has to be her greatest album so far! Each song has it's own style and beat. The music is catchy and the lyrics are good. I enjoy playing it from beginning to end. My favorites have to be "Treacherous", "Holy Ground" and "Starlight".  But all the other songs are just as good! A great buy.


title: Young Tori Showing Her Warrior Side Despite Over-Production

text: The bombastic eighties production can't hide the obvious and potent talent of Tori Amos. Wonderful to hear what happened before the iconic "Little Earthquakes"! If you're a fan, you may know that this wasn't the direction she wanted to go in but had to listen to the record company. "Floating City" is the best song with the sweetest hook that hints at the decades of great music to pour out of this woman. A must-have for Tori fans.


title: SOME GREAT LISTENING

text: SOME MORE GREAT LISTRNING. SHE HAS A WONDERFUL PERSONALITY AND MANY TIMES IT IS REFLECTED IN DIFERANT SONGS.GOOD LISTENING SO ENJIY


title: Exactly what i wanted... Thanks

text: Exactly what i wanted... Thanks


title: Buy it!

text: If you enjoy Taylor Swift...then you can't go wrong with purchasing this album.<br />You get bonus tracks, etc.  So, enjoy!


title: Surprised

text: I have to first start off by admitting that this is the first Taylor Swift album that I have ever listened to, so prior to pushing the play button on my CD player I didn't know what to expect although I had the memory of her being a Country Singer and later being embarrassed by Kenye West in some musical awards show some years ago. The album opens up just as strong as any Madonna, Mariah Carey, Gloria Estefan, or any Diva past present and future's album would start off. The difference is that this album is like a great cup of coffee - Good to the last note! I really couldn't find a song that would be classified as filler. What I did discover is that Taylor Swift's albums are truly a psychological process of a heartbroken, or at least a hurt, young lady who needs to invest her money on a psychiatrist because she is sick of having her heart just smashed by all these guys that are either no good for her or she just blew her chance of being with.


title: greay

text: great


title: Kind of depressing but I like it that way

text:
Let me just say that I am a massive Taylor Swift fan. I've listened to all three albums and although I thought her music was annoying at first, I quickly warmed up to it. I do listen to an array of other kinds of music though, which are mostly rock/folk/indie/alternative.

There are 3 songs on this album that are in the 'annoying-pop' category. Now, I don't really discriminate against 'annoying-pop' anymore (I used to) because there's a time and place to listen to those kinds of songs, be it when you want to just burst out in song in your bedroom, etc. But I believe the placement of those songs play a part to offset the mostly sad, beautiful and tragic (there's a pun here) nature of all the other songs. Also, those three songs were co-written with writers of most of the big pop singles that are on the radio now. The real lyrical nature of Taylor's songs can be found in songs like 'Begin Again'. I won't be the first to say that I am a little disappointed that she produced those 3 songs because she already has a massive fan-base and doesn't need more publicity and popularity all that much. But like she said, this album is adventurous and she probably wanted to explore her options a little more.

The rest of the album is ace though. There's a slight 90s vibe to the whole atmosphere of the album (if albums could have atmospheres), like there's nostalgia in the air (and in the reverb). And I have to say that this album contains a few of the most depressing songs I've ever heard her produce out of the three albums. Along the same feeling as the piano version of Forever & Always. Some really depressing songs include Treacherous (one of my favourites), All Too Well, The Moment I Knew, The Last Time.. and although they hurt like hell when I listened and read the lyrics at the same time, it was a pretty beautiful experience.

I feel Taylor has noticeably moved on from fairytales and princes. Before this album there was a kind of sparkle and magical feel to her songs but as most people say, she's not a teenager anymore. This album is a nod to a darker and an even more mature Taylor, despite what most critics say because they only listen to We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together and judge her whole image based on ONE song.

I hope you enjoy this album and feel as much as I did.

title: Missing 1/2

text: CD was missing 1/2 the songs so buy the new not the cheaper one


title: I love the deluxe album

text: I love the deluxe album, but one thing that I should have done before buying this was look at Taylor Swift's website if you go there this album is way cheaper on her website than it is on Amazon save yourself some cash. I bought this album for almost $40

text: This CD just has a few songs on it. Beautiful Eyes is such a pretty song, one of Taylor's many great songs. The lyrics are adorable and the music is very sweet. I love listening to this CD in the car while I'm driving. It is full of feel-good music.

title: Totally recommend! Mind escape! In the adventure!

text:
The whole family is hooked! We LOVE these audio stories! The acting is legit - believable. Stories are based on real life adventures - missionaries. Super cool and encouraging for the kids AND ME (the homeschool mom!). " How big is your God Mr Bentie?" A quote my kids use on me all the time! That is actually from the next season but still... let's just say we tried listening to other Christian character audio books but  after listening to the Brinkmans... all of us are just kind of "eh... we would rather listen to the Brinkmans over and over and over again!

I have three kids - 7, 4 and 2... the 2 year old might not get it but definitely is quiet during the listening!


title: Songs with real feelings

text: I love her songs, popular or unpopular ones, because they all make feel something special. Thanks Tay


title: Excelent mix of sounds and artist.

text:
The best music is always just under the surface. Sometimes you have to search for it. The big radio stations are only playing the most comercaily succesful artist. Nothing surprising there...

That leaves the best artists still hidden in the showdows for us to find and enjoy. At least until the rest of the world finds them too.

Great album and enjoyable why to experience new music by very talented artist. Not a single disapointing song in the mix. Sign me up, I want more.

title: This album has made a Taylor Swift fan out of me!

text:
I'll try to keep this brief, because my reviews tend to be unnecessarily long and I don't really think that's necessary. I just wanted to share my opinion about the album because it is not only an excellent album but it has changed the way I view Taylor and her music.

Until now, I've never been much of a Taylor Swift fan. I liked Love Story and jammed to that for a while when it was new, and I'm sure there are some other songs I could sing along to, but I was never really interested in her music very much. With this album, I find myself being drawn in and becoming obsessed with much of the material in the same way I am with my favorite music. I'm not exactly Taylor's target demographic, either. I'm a 30 year old man and I tend to favor dance, pop and hip hop. Taylor's country flair has never appealed to me but this album is the beginning of something amazing with her sound as she ventures into new musical territory.

I started becoming more interested when We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together started getting popular. It's a very catchy song, and that's one thing I'm a sucker for: pop production bliss. I listened to that song at least five times a day for weeks and weeks. Then one night my friend made me listen to I Knew You Were Trouble and 22. At first I was a little skeptical, because it's much more heavy into pop and rock than she's ever done before. But as the days went by and I listened a few more times, I realized that they are great pop songs and that I was loving them more and more every time I heard them. At this point, I started giving the whole album a chance and realized that almost every single song is fantastic on this album. I have a CD player at work (I know, so old school! Where's my iPhone?!) and I burned a copy so I could turn it on and just let it play. I don't find myself skipping any songs, and I even enjoy the ballads -- which says a lot about the quality of the music, because I generally listen to mostly uptempo music.

I obsess, I tear up, I laugh, and I see clips of a movie starring Taylor Swift playing in my head... this album is absolutely phenomenal and has made a total Taylor Swift fan out of me! Like other reviews have stated, there's something for everyone here... a little indie pop, a little country, a little rock, and plenty of pop woven in between. I've mentioned to others on their reviews that I think this album showcases some of Taylor's finest work to date, and really highlights her talent with storytelling and songwriting. Plus, if you've ever seen her live performances, you know that voice is real. I'm sure it's smoothed over with a little auto-tune, but she's got a great voice!

If you haven't already, give this album a chance! I promise you won't be sorry!

title: more pop than before, but still taylor swift

text:
my daughter is a huge swifty and i must admit that i can't resist loving taylor myself.  she writes her own songs, sings her own songs, and plays instruments in her own songs.  she writes songs that are not crude or offensive.  she carries herself well in public.  basically she's done no wrong to this point.  if your daughter chooses her as a role model, it seems like she's made a good choice.

this album is typically taylor -- love and love gone wrong, and i get to choose/control my life.  much more pop than her previous albums (more synthesized), but still catchy, appealing, and generally makes you feel good to listen it.  just what i want out of music.

title: Great work ladies!!!

text: Who would imagine Tina Turner releasing something this good? There should have been more promotion in the USA.


title: Love TXT

text: My daughter loved it! No complaints


title: Some songs OK, others are monotonous and trite

text: Taylor Swift has many good songs, including a few on this album, but it seems that this album contains a lot of songs that have extremely trite lyrics and monotonous tunes.  Taylor's voice range is not highlighted at all in most songs, with her singing maybe 8 notes total.  somewhat dissappointing, and a step down from Speak Now and Fearless.


title: Especially love "Sleep Without You" but CD is WAYYYYY too expensive ...

text: Especially love "Sleep Without You" but CD is WAYYYYY too expensive at $41.99 so I will NOT be buying it!! Since there are only 6 songs on this CD that comes to $7.00 a song and I am a working fan with bills to pay!!! Sorry Brett, might want to reconsider the decision to have such an expensive CD that the fans cannot afford to buy it!!!


title: Fantastic deluxe version

text: Great product. Any Taylor Swift fan will love this album, especially the deluxe version!

text: Light up the fireplace and enjoy a couple glasses of wine with your wife. Turn down the lights, turn up the music and enjoy.


title: Maranatha 12 Songs of Hope

text: Great uplifting songs that enliven your spirit. I am very pleased with what I bought. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a good gospel music album to listen to.

text: I really like this song (just like all of Sara's other stuff)! And this single is great! It comes in a slim case with the artwork (front insert only), and the CD has a live acoustic version of Sara's cover of In Your Eyes by Peter Gabriel ( this version is different from the Stripped version from the 2-CD edition of Little Voice). It's all great! Definitely recommend!


title: Worse Lucinda Album ever !

text: I love Lucinda's music, but the Tom Petty tribute just doesn't work. The music, backing band, is bad, makes you want to hear the real thing, and Lucinda's voice doesn't work for the songs or with the band, the gravely tone I was expecting is missing. No excitement or effort, I don't recommend this CD at all !


title: Good music

text: Love the whole cd


title: I love emily west she is from Iowa and I have ...

text: I love emily west she is from Iowa and I have loved her early songs -like rocks in my shoes, I also have it as a ring tone on my phone. But when I received it it was a few songs and not like a whole cd. It was my fault for not reading it closer. There is nothing wrong with the sender, and it was very well packaged.


title: Wonderful!

text: I saw Misty on Sid Roth and ordered this CD immediately. It is so anointed. I really enjoy it lots.


title: Best album

text: Best album from random hero.


title: I love this album very underrated

text: When I first heard about 7eventh time down I was like these guys are good I heard just say Jesus and god is on the move the song alive in you is a good song.


title: Amazing

text:
Had this for a few years now, not sure why I didn't review it before.

I saw her at some random radio show outside LA because I went to see another artist. I hadn't heard of Christina at all. She was hanging out in the audience beforehand, so I was surprised when it was her who got up on stage. I was pretty blown away. It was only her, her guitar, and a piano. Her lyrics were so incredibly honest and her voice so raw and beautiful. I instantly became a fan and found her after the show so I could buy this CD. While I do love her Lovestrong CD, I love how authentic the songs on this CD are and have played it on repeat many times over.

Jar of Hearts, Bang Bang Bang, Black + Blue and the rest are true works of art and I highly recommend this CD. She keeps proving herself as her 2nd album is about to drop that she isn't a one hit wonder.


title: Too Late Blues

text: Great jazz.  Great addition to my collection.


title: Sandy Nelson

text: Sandy Nelson was never given credit for the drummer he is.  If you are a drummer add this to your collection and listen closely.  Great drums.


title: STILL JAMMING FIRE & iCE

text: MARSHALL TUCKER MADE BASIC TRAINING JUST A LITTLE EASIER IN '73, DID NOT TAKE LONG TO GET HOOKED!


title: Love every song on this album and it still sounds good after playing for more than 20 times.

text: Love the "new" Taylor with atitude. Over the years, I've purchased many CDs for one or two songs that I really like but dislike the rest. Taylor Swift is one of the very few young artists who produces album after album that I enjoy listening to in their entirety. She keeps on growing as a song writer and singer. I look forward to her next single or album.


title: Great product.

text: I already owned this from itunes, but needed a CD for the car. I would recommend this product to anyone that likes Taylor Swift.


title: A good cd

text: A good deal


title: Taylor Swift - Red - This is the version to get

text:
There is an annoying trend in cds these days--duets. Everyone has a track or two on their cd featuring somebody.  Save them for movie soundtracks or something. The 2 duets on Red should have been the extra tracks and the 3 studio tracks on the 2nd cd of this set should be on the main cd.
 The extra 6 tracks on this cd are beautiful. The acoustic version of "State Of Grace" is sublime.  I bought this version, sequenced my player to delete the duets and added the 6 tracks = 20 gorgeous songs sung beautifully.  I played them over and over for 4 days straight. That happens when I love an album.
  I'm sure you can still find this much cheaper. It's a Target [the retail store] Exclusive.

  An outstanding collection, don't pass it up! The Making of Our Song video is on the deluxe edtion of Taylor's 1st cd.


title: I heart Taylor

text: This is her best album yet; "All too Well" is her best song yet.  I cannot wait for her next effort.


title: The Red Letters Project

text:
The Red Letters Project is a performance of rock music based on the words of Jesus (sometimes written in Bibles as words in red letter text so one can distinguish these words from others) from the Book of Matthew in the New Living Translation (NLT)  of the Bible. This is definitely a one-of-a-kind listening experience that has 40 tracks--both sung and narrated. The NLT of the Bible is a translation of the Bible into a clear, readable form of modern English. If you don't care for the NLT version of the Bible or rock music this probably isn't for you. I am used to the King James Version (KJV) and this version follows pretty well, but in my opinion the beauty and eloquence of the words from the KJV are lost in the NLT. The music of The Red Letters Project is Christian rock, but is harder rock than I am used to listening to as Christian rock. I found this rendition to be quite interesting and definitely unique.

Thanks to Tyndale House Publishers because I am a part of the Tyndale Blog Network for letting me know about this product and for sending me a free copy to listen to and review. My thoughts are mine and my family's own opinion and have not been altered by anyone else. I did not receive any other compensation for doing this review.

title: Not what I expected

text: $25 for a first album, you'd think that'd be saying something about the artist. I found Nic singing in a Colt Ford song and thought he'd be a good lead artist. Boy was I wrong. He is to leading acts what Jeff Bridges is to leading actors. Some folks are best as sidekicks.

title: Absolutely Fantastick

text: A fantastic, ethereal experience. The Crane/Cocteau Twins like vocals of Julie Baggett over the intrinsic instrumentation of Billy Groves (primary writer) makes this a must have for any of you who were fans of the cataclysmic 4AD era of the later 80s and early 90s. Billy's writing is backed up by the experienced work of Joe Ball (bass) and John Middleton (drums). These four started in Charleston, SC, but escaped the acousta-rock expectations of the South by moving to Boston in the mid 90s where they were headlining at such clubs as Mama Kins and TT the Bears within 6 months of their arrival. After their tour along the East Coast and even with airplay on over 90 stations throughout the US and Canada, the band sadly broke up after their first official release and parted ways with other bands and careers. Rumour has it that other releases are out there.

What is Trickstereprocess? Exactly what the title suggests, Trickster reprocessed. On the CD portion you get five new tracks...well, two new, two live, and one acoustic. On the DVD portion you get six live tracks (basically a concert for lack of better words), a great live in-studio video of Red & Violet, and two music videos. If you loved the original Trickster you're gonna go nuts for this.

The first 11 tracks are exactly the same, it says they're remastered but I can't much tell the difference. The new songs, Veteran and Red & Violet, serve as two of my favorite KT songs (funny how that seems to work out, no?). Veteran follows about the same pattern as the better part of Trickster. Free's voice is incredible, the industrial vibe throughout works wonders, and the lyrics are great. Red & Violet is more guitar driven than a lot of Trickster which alone helps to make it stand out more. Another thing that helps is the excellent riff through the verses. Free's vocal loops are nice and the chorus/bridge is just completely intense. Taxicab Messiah and Pleasant, both performed live, are great in which they sound as close to studio as you can live. And then we have the acoustic version of the opening track of Zerospace, Before I'm Dead. If you're at all familiar with Free's solo stuff than you know what you're getting yourself into. Her voice is powerful backed by a full band but the vulnerability she displays throughout this song is inspiring.

As far as the DVD goes, I'm pleased, not much more. The band is what I expected to be live, energetic and enthusiastic. I'm not entirely convinced the concert is completely live though, sure the footage is but I think they might've took some help from the CD in post production. Whatever though, the performance is awesome. The music videos for Zerospace and Trickster are both good. Zerospace sees Free singing in the bathtub, sanz clothes (nice eyecandy). And Trickster is just weird.

When it comes down to it, you can go with the basic version or the amped up version. You can find this much cheaper if you look around (coughofficialwebsitecough), but heck, I still like the original's cover art better. If you're content with your basic version of Trickster than by all means keep it, even without the bonus tracks it's an incredible listen. However, if you're like me and have to have Veteran and Red & Violet then this is the place to go.


title: Greatness.. If you like Antimatter

text: Excellent album if you have patience and listen to at right time.You must stay in tune when listening and be  ready to absorb the music. This is not background stuff. If you treat it as such it will bore you.<br />Another Mick Moss masterpiece with a touch of jazz and sax. Great stuff when i feel melancholy. As always, Mick delivers. Great atmospheric songwriter.


title: Nice. Nearly gets a 5...

text:
This disc, as the other reviewer indicated, is tough to classify. I would say a blend of VERY strong Fear Factory cutting style riffs, 80's thrash, Voi Vod, twisted Mnemic choruses and about 50% more musically adventurous than any of the above. Even funky parts find there way on this disc. These guys can PLAY and arent affraid to stretch the usual thrash boundaries. Brutal, crunching riffs aside, there are some close to classical style guitar bits mixed within the chaos. Excellent solo's and extremely off the wall drumming. Some keyboards add effect on a few tracks. These songs are to the point and go places within those 3-5 minutes. Very refreshing, tightly executed and very well produced.

This is intense music that stays with you. The choruses are twisted yet memorable. Music styles run rampant but all fuse together with a sweet thrash attack. Even some funky bass parts are heard on the last track 'Bloodpuppets'. It sounds like a death metal Faith No More track. Mike Patton on acid. Brilliant. There are clean vocals on 'Castaways in the NWO' and 'I Am One' or sick brutal vocals on other tracks. A lot of back and fourth within songs. Growls to screams to harmonies. You get the idea. Erratic but extremely entertaining with songs that aren't long enough to make you lose your interest.

Glad i gave this a shot as I never picked up their first CD. I am surprised at just how good of a disc this is and with 15 tracks, its hard to not give this a 5 just on percentages. That's why I almost gave it a five. Even if you dont like 4 or 5 songs, you get plenty more to choose from. But since there is room for growth with this band and it isnt totally original, i stayed at 4.

A very pleasant surprise indeed. Any Thrash Metal or Progressive Metal fan should own this.


title: Unfortunate Once Again...

text:
Another Antimatter (Mick Moss) gem, will go undetected.

This collection of live tracks is very reminiscent of K-13(previous live disc) only in ambiance. The recording itself is about an 80% improvement. Nice acoustic sound with soft tones and backing vocals. Well recorded and delivered.

This is basically just Mick Moss on Guitar and Vocals, Danny Cavanagh on backing guitar and solo's, and a background vocalist. Raw, intimate and refreshing. Not to mention somber. Moss has a great voice and way of delivering a song over a bed of acoustic strumming that just stays with you. Some of the soloing is nice and is merely another layer to the tracks. Nothing here is overbearing or 'Heavy', just maybe a tinge dark.

Being a newer set, it does have tracks from 'Leaving Eden' (totally stripped down to their written form, not electric) and the Moss tracks from 'Planetary Confinement'. Leaving Eden is well done as is 'Legions'.

Features a couple cover songs that I had never heard before anyway, by Pink Floyd, John Lennon and a couple others (Working Class Hero is very well done, great vocally) so it seems new to me, but its definitely given the Antimatter somber treatment. And 2 tracks (Saviour and Over Your Shoulder) that were from the earlier era and on 'K-13'.

That would be my only fault, if any, with this set. I would have liked to have a few more tracks from Confinement and Eden instead of repeats from the first live set. And a slight less bit backing vocal. But very minuscule faults really.

This is a great listen. I believe it would be very appreciated if it was ever heard by more than the very very few it seems to make it to. Its unfortunate and I really feel lucky to have discovered Antimatter in general. Mick Moss is a raw talent.

Brilliant once again. And again I will write another un-noticed Antimatter review, but screw it....


title: 4 Stars for 2 tracks

text: Just get this if you want the excellent audio of the MTV Unplugged tracks 'Killing Words' and the excellent 'Silent Lucidity'. These 2 tracks alone are well worth the price of this. They were done very well acoustic. Grab it.


title: Nice............ 4+. Ion can soothe the soul....

text: Excellent ambient disc with crisp emotion.. An 'Art' epic. Must have for Antimatter fans. Great headphones disc. The silences play along with the textures surrounding. An excellent World music disc with beautiful female vocals. Duncan Patterson uses flutes, guitars, symbols, vocals, percussion and orchestration well. Not the synth-style darkness of old that one may expect.  A really good disc for those who appreciate this style. Stripped down yet very unique and relaxing.


title: Apollo

text: An Amazing album by a great group, I absolutely love just about every song on this album. If you love 70's music this is a must listen, its truley a shame that this group only produced one album and it was so unappreciated. As a DISCLAIMER for any one like me when you looked into this album, if you are buying this because you think Teena Marie is on this album you are mistaken. Teena left this group before the album was completed and its for debate as to weather her back up vocals appear in "Astro Disco." What we do know is that Teena wrote "Happiness" another highlight from this great album.


title: A Kick in the Teeth

Havok's Pwn 'Em All EP is a nasty little thing. It's got six tracks: three are Havok originals you cannot find anywhere else, and the other three were re-recorded for their first thrash-tastic LP [[ASIN:B001UN1J1A Burn]]. Since Amazon currently does not have any product information listed for Pwn 'Em All, I'll do their job for them.

Pwn 'Em All is a self-recorded EP that came out in the fall of 2007 about a year before the band signed with Candlelight Records (Havok labeled up at the beginning of 2009). I think it is a re-recording of Havok's first ever demo, Thrash Can (2004), but I have never been able to confirm this because, as far as I know, there were only ever a handful of copies of Thrash Can made, and I never got my hands on one despite discovering these guys all the way back in 2005.

As for personnel, the only guy on Pwn 'Em All anyone will recognize besides frontman and guitarist David Sanchez is lead guitarist Shawn Chavez, who made it onto Burn but left the band shortly afterwards. Sanchez and Chavez are credited with writing all six songs, which are as follows:

1. Last Words (4:01)
2. Identity Theft (4:44)
3. Havok (5:28)
4. Fate Controls (5:53)
5. To Hell (4:11)
6. The Root of Evil (5:37)

Tracks 2, 5, and 6 were re-recorded for Burn. The versions you see here are complete (as in, they aren't demos), but they sound a lot nicer on the feature-length release. Tracks 1, 3, and 4 can only be found on Pwn 'Em All. Of these, "Havok" is the best, but I should also mention that Chavez lets loose a solo from Hell on "Fate Controls." Moreover, if you have never heard the Pwn 'Em All version of "The Root of Evil," go look it up on YouTube and enjoy one of the filthiest pieces of thrash you'll ever lay ears on.

As of writing this, there is only one copy of Pwn 'Em All available on Amazon, and the seller is asking $60+ for it. I love and cherish my original pre-Candlelight Havok EPs (especially when I admire this one's brutal cover art!), but I could never justify paying that much for either of them. You shouldn't either. However, if you're a Havok fan and you ever find one of these rarities for $20 or less, I highly recommend adding it to your collection.

Only one song, "When my train pulls in". Yet it's an 33/45 in yellow!. (Side) An over 16min straight up jam session, in a club within Germany. (Side B) over 7min studio cut.

I bought from an Amazon Market place seller ("Hot Shots) which the LP was shipped from this German seller, packaging was done very well. Also arrived in great shape for shipment that came quite a long way to my home in the United States. And I would buy from this seller, anytime I'm looking for an import from my favorite artist!.

title: YES!  YES!!  YES!!!

text:
Even though I was excited about this new album, I was apprehensive.  Since their album "The Word" had strayed from their original sound, and wasn't the high quality song-writing that we're used to from The Nashville Tribute Band, I was worried that this album would follow that trend.  But I am worried no more!!!  I am jumping for joy!!!  In fact, several of the songs brought tears to my eyes - not because of the words, but because of the wonderful singing and sound of the original Nashville Tribute Band!!!  My heart is recovered!!!

I was listening to this album for the first time while I was on a long drive, and at the end of one of the songs I said out loud to no one, "I LOVE IT!  LOVE!  LOVE!  LOVE IT"!!  And that happened after MANY of the songs - while also wiping tears away!!  The "Campfire Medley" alone is worth the price of the whole album!  I never wanted that song to end!!  "Did You Think to Pray" is also a favorite with its Johnny Cash vibe.  I LOVE the new song they wrote, "Song of the Heart" - completely representative of the quality song-writing and singing of the Nashville Tribute Band.  I also appreciate that they included a traditional Christian hymn, "In the Garden", very beautifully done.  My least favorite was "Because I Have Been Given Much", which sounded like an 80s synthesizer throwback.  Very strange.  And the song "For the Beauty of the Earth" started drifting towards the ho-hum sound of Christian radio.  But I am in love with the rest of the album!

Thank you Nashville Tribute Band for going BACK TO NASHVILLE and bringing back your incredible original sound!!!  All is right in the world again!!


title: Not Their Best Album

text: Our family is a huge fan of the Nashville Tribute Band.  We have all of their albums and have driven from California to attend their concerts in Utah and Idaho.  When their first album, Joseph, came out, I drove ten hours to present the album to my family and listened to each song with them as we cried and our testimonies grew.  I, along with everyone else, was impatiently waiting for this latest album.  We were so excited and we wanted to love it, but it is with a hesitant heart that I say that we are disappointed in The Word.  It sounds like Christian radio - generic, undistinguished, and most of the songs are empty.  Out of the fourteen songs on the album, only five come anywhere close to the quality song-writing of The Nashville Tribute Band (The Fall, That River Gonna Rise, Still Small Voice, Jericho, and Staring Into the Flame).  All bands eventually move away from their beginnings, trying to evolve and become more cutting edge.  But in that process, they lose the very sound and feel that made them successful in the first place.  I fear that this is what's happening to the Nashville Tribute Band.  The reason why the band skyrocketed to fame was because they were different.  They were not contemporary - they were clearly country.  Their song-writing was superior, and their songs and albums were focused on LDS themes:  Joseph Smith, the Restoration, the pioneers, and missionary work.  The Redeemer album began moving away from the traditional sound of the Nashville Tribute Band, but because of the excellent song-writing, it was still a great album.  The Word has moved even farther away from their original sound and feel.  The majority of the songs on this new album not only sound like just another Christian band that you would hear anywhere, but there's also a noticeable difference in the quality of the song-writing - it's not as good as the previous albums.  I hope that the Nashville Tribute Band remembers their LDS audience and what made them popular in the first place.  I hope this album is just a glitch and not the beginning of the end.  We love the Nashville Tribute Band and the inspired songs they have brought us in the past.

title: I bought this because I was at this concert in 1979

text:
I was at this concert in 1979, then saw it had been put on a CD for sale, so I bought it.  The quality of recording isn't great, but the music was as good as I remember it from 40+ years ago.  My buddies and I were in the front row at The Rainbow Gallery and the stage was within feet from our seats.  We could put our feet up on the stage we were so close, which meant the musicians were within 10 feet of us.  Their technical abilities were off the chart.  Of course, Braxton blew us away but they all left us amazed, especially George Lewis' ability on the trombone.  I've never heard such a virtuoso on that instrument.  The musicians that day were:
Anthony Braxton - Reeds
George Lewis - Trombone
Richard Abrams - Piano
Dave Holland - Bass
Barry Altschul - Drums
I hope this helps people better understand who played on this recording.

text: I have been looking for the Ronettes hits for sometime.  Could not find any place in the different music sites for it.  Found it on Amazon for $173.  That was just out of the question.  This DVD is just first rate.  I will agree with some of the other reviews that it does have a reverb in it which was not in their original songs.  With that being said if you are look for the Ronettes hits you WILL NOT be disappointed.  I just love this CD and have been asked by many friends to borrow it.  The borrow will not happen they will have to get their own copy.

title: There never will be finer relaxing music especially for massage.

text: You can do yourself no better favor than to buy and listen to this album.  If, after reading this review, you can vote for it, please do.  If you cannot vote for it, please leave a comment as to why not.  Having enjoyed 40 years of massage, I have been able to evaluate the best music for it during 400+ appointments.  This is the best relaxing music for massage.  Period.  It is important to have slow tempo synthesizer, guitar, flute, etc. designed and intimately planned for you to sink into the massage table.  It also works for the bed or couch without a massage technician.  It is very slow music that seems to touch the spirit and soul of the body, slows the breathing, and descends the muscles of every body part.  It is perfect music, faultless, complete, ideal music that spoils the listener for there is no finer relaxing music on the market and I do not expect there every will be.

title: Audiophile Sound at a Bargain Price

text:
I would comment too much about the music here because so much has been written about this. Suffice to say, this album is a classic and the music is great.

Instead I want to talk about the quality of this particular edition. It's outstanding. Don't be fooled by the colored vinyl aspect of it either. I'm sure a teal LP will look gimmicky to many people but ignore that for a second. This is first rate in terms of sound quality. For whatever reason, the people behind this release decided to use stampers made from older mother plates that are actually from a now out of print 90s Audiophile pressing mastered by Kevin Gray and Steve Hoffman. If you don't already know about these folks Google their names. Anyway, besides the excellent mastering this was pressed at RTI, which is one of the best, if not the best pressing plant in America.

All this means you get an audiophile-quality release for around $20, which is a bargain. Of course the packaging isn't nearly as fancy as the records you get from Mobile Fidelity, Analog Productions, or Music Matters, but it is more than serviceable. I can live without a deluxe gatefold or tip-on Stoughton printed jacket. What I want first and foremost is sound quality, and that is what this release delivers. Highly recommended.

P.S. the Newbury Comics edition of Sonny Rollin's and John Coltrane's "Tenor Madness" LP on Red Vinyl was done in the same manner as this one and uses stampers made from a cut done by Hoffman and Gray. I cannot vouch for the quality any any other Newbury exclusive editions though.


title: good album!

This album is a great intro the Kruder & Dorfmeister's work; perfect as upbeat background music. The only downside is that the album is short.

title: A Standout Album

text: After shooting to international stardom in the late 1960s, the Bee Gees released a string of best-selling albums, argued amongst themselves, split up, reformed and saw their popularity and record sales slump. Main Course, released in 1975, was the album that revived their career with a new sound and the top-selling hits Nights on Broadway and Jive Talkin'. It introduced a new beat for the Bee Gees, Barry's falsetto and moved them away from the ballads which had been their trademark. The album is a little uneven, with a mix of styles, but served as a bridge to the disco music which would be their signature sound, and to their popularity, for several years to come. Both it's pleasant sound and its place in the Bee Gees collection make this worth having.


title: An Excellent Collection and a Fitting Tribute

text:
"Life Goes On" is Gerry Rafferty's last recording and is a true swan song.  It is a collection of new songs (to CD), old songs (some re-edited) and some obvious religious songs, and it is a fine-sounding collection.  We can't know precisely why he created this last CD as he did because he is not here to tell us, but it serves well as a final work.  His singing, musicianship and production are as good as ever.  In the documentary "Right Down the Line," which BBC Scotland broadcast in early 2012, singer / songwriter / radio presenter Tom Robinson states that this disc sees Gerry Rafferty collecting the songs that mattered to him and were significant to him, and putting his house in order.  Rafferty dedicates "Life Goes On" to his daughter Martha and his grand-daughter Celia.  He thanks several people who worked on the CD, but also thanks long-time friends and colleagues John Byrne, Billy Connolly and Robert Noakes who gave him emotional support.  Another long-time friend, partner and colleague, Joe Egan, appears on some backing vocals.

The disc opens with "Kyrie Elieson," and closes with "Adeste Fidelis" and "Silent Night," perhaps harking back to his Catholic school days which Billy Connolly mentions in the aforementioned documentary.  The bulk of the disc consists of a mix of new songs as well as songs from his three previous releases - On a Wing and a Prayer (1992), Over My Head (1994) and Another World (2001).  I found his remake of the Beatles' "Because" and the previously unreleased-on-CD "Your Heart's Desire" to be outstanding.  Some reviewers have lamented the fact that many of the previously released songs have been edited and shortened and, again, we don't know why Gerry did that.  However, that editing did allow him to fit all 18 songs, at 77 minutes, on a single CD.  Those who take issue with this editing still have the original recordings to enjoy at their leisure.

The CD comes in a tri-fold digipack with nicely-designed graphics and a booklet with lyrics and credits.  Overall it is an excellent package and a fitting tribute as a last effort from an excellent and celebrated singer, songwriter and musician.

title: Music is Great!

text: Okay, this came with a CD and a DVD.  The CD is great!  The DVD has oh so many problems.  It stops and freezes for no reason.  I cannot move on to another part of it, because it keeps repeating the same one over and over with it freezing in different places each time.  I am glad I have the CD though, it plays fine and the music is great.  I was just looking forward to seeing the actual DVD also.  It did arrive in perfect condition, though, so the DVD faults are on the part of the manufacturer, not the vendor.


title: A Not Great Recording of a Soon To Be Great Artist.

text: This is just barely an OK recording of JM in the beginning. Yeah, I'm picky, and the fidelity of this recording is painful for me to listen to. I make my living as an audio engineer, and this is not someone's best work. You fanatics may be able to hear the performance thru the poor recording, but I can't. The cover photo looks far better than the recording sounds.


title: Great Traditional Bluegrass Music!

text: If you like good traditional bluegrass music this band is for you. Richard Hefner from West Virginia was one of the original members of this band who started playing around 1968.  The Black Mountain Bluegrass Boys have continued to play traditional bluegrass in the traditional way with non-electric instruments.  This is one of the best traditional bluegrass bands around today.  You won't be disappointed with this CD. Then you will want more of their music.  If you haven't heard the Black Mountain Bluegrass Boys before then you are missing out.  Great musicians, great vocals, good drive.  You can't beat it. Hope you will be able to catch a concert sometime. You won't be disappointed.


title: Traditional Bluegrass Music At It's Best

text: Everyone who enjoys traditional bluegrass music should have this CD.  Harley Carpenter, who was called the "Elvis of Bluegrass Music," puts that lonesome, soulful vocals as lead singer in this group.  Some of the best "pickin" that you will hear.  This band, still in existance with some different members is one of WV's Best Kept Secrets!  Add this CD to your traditional bluegrass music library.  You won't be disappointed!  The band to this day, relys on acoustics, NO electric instruments, just the good deep, rich sound that these instruments and the band have to offer.  Enjoy! Good TRADITIONAL bluegrass music at its BEST!


title: Grew up listening to dowop...

text: Ok to get your feet wet in the group harmony genre, but please keep looking. There is so much better stuff out there. Try the Harptones, Skyliners, Rivieras, Capris, Del Vikings, Five Satins, Penguins and then you can try the $1000 per record recordings by groups by the Cardinals, Orioles, Clovers, Castelles, Five Keys, Swallows and other early 50's groups.


title: Solid western themed instrumentals

text: Very satisfying album of western themed instrumentals. I think I prefer the other album, Spy Car Mechanic, but quite good as well and makes for nice ambient music while I work from home.


title: Amazing!

text: This is hands-down the best kid's music CD I've ever been exposed to, Christian or otherwise.  Considering having Randall come in to do a concert.


title: The best soundtrack ever made!

text: If you are like me, I am a very serious video game music fanatic! This 8 CD set is incredible!!! Well made, beautiful, and worth the price! The re-made music for Final Fantasy VII Remake is incredible! Nobuo Uematsu is the reason why the Final Fantasy series has the most memorable music! After Final Fantasy 10 we lost his beautiful music, but Nobuo Uematsu is back, and I am thrilled! From the intro theme to the end credits and the bonus CD you will LOVE this collection!


title: The War Wagon is timeless

text: My favorite John Wayne movie. Kirk Douglas fits his role like a glove as Lomax. The infamous War Wagon and and its gold and Gatling gun add to the luster of this film. A real classic!


title: Love this CD

text: Love this!!  It’s a bootleg but so what. The music is great.

text: Great for completing collection


title: Wonderful for Traveling or Relaxing

text: I purchased this primarily because it features Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, my 2 year old daughter's favorite song.  I soon noticed an added benefit to this CD...it calms her from overactive to serene in a matter of minutes.  She will actually listen to it.  I like to play this CD before the children take their nap, as part of a winding down routine. The music is fantastic and very enjoyable.  Both of my children (newborn and toddler) enjoy the Baby Einstein DVDs and this CD is a wonderful compliment to them.  I highly recommend this CD!
