Better Days: Here Right Now by Bounty628 Pros: Solid live performance sounds translates perfectly to this album.
Cons: None. Though there is always a certain sense of apprehension when a singer/songwriter decides to launch an album, what needs to be remembered is that so long as the musician does not lose the same focus they apply on stage when they enter the recording studio ...

David Live, by David Bowie by cdm72 Pros: Some truly original and memorable performances.
Cons: A couple songs shoulda been retired already. Once again last night, bored out of our minds, my friend Doc Brown and I got into his DeLorean and sped at 88 mph down the Belt Highway until we wound up back in July of 1974. David Bowie was giving a show at the Tower Theatre in Philadelphia, so we ...

Dear Beyonce: My Album's Better Than Yours. Ha-Ha. Love, Solange. by speeddemon531 Pros: A decent slice of alt-soul, a breath of fresh air in a stale R&B scene.
Cons: Some work needs to be done on the songwriting front, a bit unnecessarily pretentious. The musical landscape is littered with them: artists trading on the talent and fame of their more talented, more famous sibling or parent. Most music fans are smart enough to know that whenever “the brother or sister-or son or daughter- of ...

The Buck Stops Here by wolfman309 Pros: Some very good songs and they have a rock and roll heart.
Cons: Uneven and slightly boring in spots There is some bands that have the right idea but for the most part just seem to miss the mark. This is Buckcherry. They have a sound that for the most part is straight out of the Black Crowes songbook. With some minor subtle differences these two bands ...

90s Baby! Karina shows off her first love on her impressive debut! by Monnie1976 Pros:
Great voice, good songs with a good message Cons: None really. If you’re interested in taking a peak at one of the new singers that just might be the future of female R&B, look no further than Karina. After several record companies romanced her for a recording contract, she finally went with Def Jam ...

Officially the worst hip-hop album I've heard: Yes, that includes Chingy! by Monnie1976 Pros: Umm........
Cons: Don't get me started. My brother brought over a copy of Soulja Boy Tell'em a few weeks ago and for some wierd reason I decided to listen to it today. I was looking for something a little different from my normal listening experience. Boy, did I find it. I remember his lead ...

Utterly boring and trite by noktorn Pros: competent
Cons: bland Eventful only in their uneventfulness, Mental Care Foundation is one of numerous post-Pantera groove-oriented bands that seems to be under the impression that this style of music is still popular and will result in fame and fortune for the members of ...

He Who Rock By The Old Testament, Roll With The New by wolfman309 Pros:
Could be the album of the year. Cons: Where is the bass? So you haven't gotten your dose of ultimate thrash metal yet today. All the music that is on the shelf is the same old stuff. There is a burning desire to find something new, but still has that wicked guitar onslaught that you crave. Have I got ...

The New Kids Are Back On "The Block" by roheblius Pros: Joey Mac's vocals, "Single", "Click, Click, Click", "Stare At You"
Cons: Trying way too hard to fit in with the auto-tune effect and the club songs After 14 years of being dormant (and turning down several chances to get back into the public eye) the New Kids On The Block are back. I'm a bit puzzled as to why 2008 is the right time considering album sales are down and this is just a guess, but had ...

Styx Sails Away With My Sanity by starcollector Pros: The title track, "Miss America" and "Fooling Yourself" are good Styx songs.
Cons: The rest are either overly bloated, boring or irritating. Disclaimer: Those looking for a brief description of the album will find what their looking for in the "Review Body" section. The section titled "Track Reviews" is meant only for those who want to read detailed descriptions of the songs, and ...

Finally, Fumbling receives the treatment it deserves... by chiliqueen Pros: Collects Fumbling and Freedom for the first time; Piano version of Possession, music videos.
Cons: Not much new for fans. Sarah McLachlan's Fumbling Towards Ecstasy, her third studio album from 1994, remains my favorite Sarah album; its haunting, dark undertones make it the perfect late-night listen. Beginning with Possession, inspired by Sarah's personal ...

Delightful collection of Yiddish tunes by chiliqueen Pros: Fascinating assortment of Yiddish radio culture of the 20th century.
Cons: Sound quality. Taken from the two-disc Yiddish Radio Project from NPR, which chronicled the influence of Yiddish on radio dramas, commercials, and popular music, there are 34 tracks that blend jingles, radio intros, swing, and a translated version of Battle ...

Calling Dr. Love? by Monnie1976 Pros: Decent production, he's an above average singer, "The Rain" is nice.
Cons: All the songs are generic and rarely make a connection. Well, time to review some of the other albums that came out this week. Believe it or not, even with the New Kids On The Block album hitting I still noticed there were some other CD’s that dropped. P. Diddy is once again giving us one of his pet ...

Tonight's the Night: Neil Young's Anti-Drug Drug Album by Pantagruel Pros: Young publicly eulogizes two friends on this deeply personal work
Cons: it's a real downer, man One of the darkest rock and soul albums ever released, Tonight’s the Night is arguably Neil Young’s finest hour. Motivated by the overdose deaths of close associates Danny Whitten of Crazy Horse, his backing band, and roadie Bruce ...

Cons: None! I have this idee fixe on music that makes it a necessity to listen to pleasing sounds. That is why I have to take on my daily dose of music any time; day or night. It is music that contains precious stones in it that win my approbation. So I have no ...

oh my god an actual good nile album by noktorn Pros: Well composed and played.
Cons: Not really extraordinary. This is the album which forced me to grudgingly reevaluate my position on Nile from being an absolutely awful band to being a pretty good band who managed to inject two completely awful albums into their mid-era before returning to decent music. This, ...

Scissors in the Sand - Echo and the Bunnymen are Still Going Strong by teamfreak16 Pros: The title track is worthy of some of the old greats
Cons: Only three songs? If it weren’t for those fellows in The Beatles, Echo and the Bunnymen might just have been considered the greatest band to emerge from Liverpool. Their dark, swirling guitar attack combined with very Doors-influenced psychedelic leanings (just ...

Okay, Let's Get This Over With: Illmatic by chaostamer Pros: The rapping and the production are top-notch; a strong, if overlooked concept
Cons: A couple songs fall short; Nas is still developing as a songwriter Let me get this out of the way first and foremost: Nas' 1994 debut Illmatic is not the greatest hip-hop album of all time. Hell, it's not even the best album of '94. The Notorious B.I.G.'s Ready to Die has that beat, ...

Being "Chris Brown's Brother", the "Forever Edition" will please all "Mrs Chris Brown"s by jbrd Pros: A very mature, sexy and ultimately satisfying R&B album by Chris "Breezy".
Cons: Yet here I am again--not giving this album a chance for what it is worth. I believe I said that Chris Brown was the future of R&B when I had reviewed his debut album back in 2005. Chris Brown is THE hottest thing in R&B today, besides Usher's long-awaited return. He has done a duet with the American Idol winner ...

There is no modern romance by GregRadiohead Pros: The last three songs are fantastic
Cons: Most of the album is forgettable You don't hear much about Fever To Tell anymore. In fact, the last time I can remember talking about it to someone was the fall of '06, when a short lived relationship found me in a then-girlfriend's car with, oddly, her pet bird hanging out on ...

Cons: Nothing The musical religious experience of the African American community is vastly different from other cultures. With its mix of blues, soul, pop, contemporary black gospel is far different, yet strikingly similar, to that popularized by cultural icon Al ...

World Domination Begins With A Single Conquest by wolfman309 Pros:
A really great style that is unique to this brand of music. Cons: No tour of Michigan planned. For so long now in the world of thrash metal, there has been an increasing tendency for bands to start following the same formula. Hammering guitars, screaming vocals and a rhythm section that was there for the sole purpose of generating pain in their ...

Here's a new sub-genre for you... Alt-Appalachian. by divad23 Pros: Multi-layered vocals and folsky instruments - it's the "wall-of-sound" approach, organic-style.
Cons: A little sparse on the lyrics. Maybe too short? That's about it for the nitpicks. You know how they say never to judge a book by its cover? I'd like to add a corollary to that often true cliché - and you're probably expecting me to say that you should never judge a CD by its cover, either. Which is mostly true, though in the ...

sure does have a lot of notes by noktorn Pros: Well played and composed.
