The Circle / When We Were Beautiful (CD + DVD)

43 reviews
Bon Jovi

Island Records, 2009

Bon Jovi still kickin' butt!
Bon Jovi's been my favorite band since 1986 and this CD is just another example of why. Since Slippery When Wet all their CDs have been excellent and The Circle is no exception. Most of the songs are rocking out and the slower ones are great, too. The only song that doesn't sit well with me is Work for the Working Man. Knowing how wealthy these guys are it's kind of hard to swallow. I think maybe ...

The Beatles Mono Box Set

The Beatles

EMI, 2009

Simply fantastic!
I have to say this set is one of the most amazing discoveries I've found in music. To hear the original mono masters of arguably the greatest band in rock music is something to behold. I knew I wanted this set from the moment I saw that it was available, being a new-found lover of original monophonic recordings (The Beach Boys original "Pet Sounds" converted me). There are plenty of reviews ...

The Best
If one is a Beatles' fan, one won't be dissappointed. This was truly the best rock group ever.

Barbra Streisand

Sony Music Distribution, 2009

KUDOS FOR FINALLY GOING BACK TO THE M49!!!
FANTASTIC WORK, the BEST in DECADES. Thanks for going back to the Neumann M49 that G-d Himself MADE for your voice, with all its luscious tube fatness and tickle the ear high-mid treble bite. Now all you need is a bit more echo, in mono return, straight up the middle (not "stereo" out of phase panned to the sides), preferably with the send to a tape machine first and super hot, and people will ...

My Christmas: Deluxe Edition CD & DVD

David Foster, Natalie Cole, ...

Philips, 2009

Absolutely beautiful!
This new Andrea Bocelli Christmas CD & DVD are outstanding. Just the most beautiful music combined with some fun songs with children and the Muppets. The duets with Reba, Natalie, Katherine and Mary are also beautiful. Most highly recommended for everyone. Andrea Bocelli has an amazing voice. He sings with such feeling and beauty. The duet with Katherine, "I Believe" is not only beautiful ...

Abbey Road (Remastered)

The Beatles

EMI, 2009

The Real Thing
For once it wasn't just a commercial gimmick. This remastered edition is truly sensational for any Beatles fan. Well worth it even if you own an earlier CD version. The sound is so much tighter, it sounds so much more like a band playing together not just like an addition of random instruments (although some people have disagreed but they should compare it with the original vinyl not with other ...

Raditude

65 reviews
Weezer

Geffen Records, 2009

Weezer impresses once again!
Weezer's 7th album, "Raditude", brings a lot to the table. For a very simple description of this album, The Blue Album and Maladroit just had a baby and created Raditude. The catchy popn rock of the Blue album and hard rock aspects of Maladroit really show on this album. I feel like this is their best effort since Pinkerton. If you want a fun album to listen and sing along to, this is it. ...

Let It Be (Remastered)

410 reviews
The Beatles

EMI, 2009

Classic
What is a classic? Good question, and certianly one to be considered when, like me, you love your music, and are serious about writting about the music you love. To discuss and understand it and maybe, just maybe, help someone hear an album in a way they have not before, because the same will be done for you. It is not showing your mussles, but sharing your last cigarette with a buddy To ...

Rubber Soul (Remastered)
Luv it - Luv it - Luv it! This CD is just as good if not better than it was in the 60/s and it brought back ALOT of GOOD memories!

Cecilia Bartoli: Sacrificium

Various, Giovanni Antonini, ...

Decca, 2009

Bartoli does it again - and better than ever
How does one even begin to review such an album as this? With the recording industry in basically a shambles, little attention paid to serious classical vocalists, this has been, so far, a year of remarkable releases for which this one goes to the top of a very distinguished pile. Bartoli has crossed a line most unique here in sharing her magnificent obsession with the castrati of the ...

Off the Wall

Michael Jackson

Sony, 2001

Dy-no-mite!!!
Outstanding work by Micheal and Quincy. Forever set Micheal apart from his talanted brothers and establish him as not only the most polished of the Jackson family at the time, but as a force to be wreckoned with. People who like soul music quickly got it. Those not familiar with MJ (belive it or not, they existed)soon found they had been been missing out.

Sugarland

Mercury Nashville, 2008

Fantastic Sugarland cd
I bought Love On The Inside Deluxe Fan Edition for my wife as a gift and we currently have this in our rotation. This is a Super CD, I love all 17 tracks, especially the two live tracks at the end of the CD. I would highly recommend this to any fan of Great country music.

Bad

Michael Jackson

Sony, 2001

Michael Jackson's Bad CD
If anyone ever wanted to hear what it took to make this album then they should buy this to hear Quincy Jones give his own interpretation of how the 33 songs Michael Jackson wrote either made it to the album or not. Very entertaining as well as interesting and comical in parts. Just buy it and you will see!

Revolver (Remastered)

888 reviews
The Beatles

EMI, 2009

How Is It Possible?
I find it hilarious that anyone could rate the best pop / rock music of all time anything less than five stars. The best Beatles efforts (Help, Rubber Soul, Revolver, Sgt. Pepper, MMT) have only been improved with the remastering effort. Anyone who can find fault with these gems of recording needs to ask themselves "what does rate five stars?" The work the Beatles turned out in 6 years has never ...

Get Yer Ya-Ya's Out! The Rolling Stones In Concert [40th Anniversary Deluxe Box Set] [3 CDs + 1 DVD]

The Rolling Stones

Abkco, 2009

"Paint It Black You Devils!"
Back in February 2001, the very first review I ever wrote for Amazon was a five star review of the Rolling Stones' album, "Get Yer Ya-Ya's Out!" Why? Thats an easy answer. It's my all time favorite live album. I love the rough, grungy, almost punkish feel to it. It just seems to be permeated throughout, with a crackling energy, thats' just so alive. "Ya-Yas" to me is what the Rolling Stones and ...

The Swell Season

Anti, 2009

A "Live" Band
The cd simply doesnt do the band justice. They are something to be experienced "live". I just saw them in MIlwaukee on Nov. 1st. They were nothing short of spectacular. Of all the live shows I've seen,(I've seen my share), Iwould say that this ranks as the best. You have to experience the power of Glen's voice, and the subtleness of Mar's for yourself. A lot is lost in the translation to cd. I ...
