In the Evenings of Regret (Grace Cathedral Park): Pick an Adjective ... or Two by MiDoyle Pros: It's a trip and a half.
Cons: Not for funerals, weddings, divorces, and other emotional engagements. The German word for ethereal is ätherisch*; meaning "light, delicate, spiritual." I suspect other words are just as fine, including subtle, refined, rare, intangible, and tenuous, but I like the German word for its added mystery. I'm ...

If You Love The Stones, You'll Probably Want It by starcollector Pros: You get to hear how the Stones sounded live.

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 ...

Comatose: A Lifeboat In The Stormy Waters Of Life by curryjacket14 Pros: Great message,the vocals,artwork.
Cons: Songs seem to have similar messages,"Say Goodbye." *First off, I want to say I'm gonna be using Divad23's system of granding songs. By that, I mean the thing where he shows how much he thinks each song is worth. I'm giving full credit to him, I didn't invent it. Now, on to the review:I'm ...

Olivia Newton-John's Back On Track With Grace & Gratitude~ by jankp Pros: lovely, meditative music with spiritual lyrics; lyrics and message included in booklet
Cons: nothing to mention I hadn't heard an Olivia Newton-John album since Let's Get Physical back in the 80s and while I loved it, I just didn't follow her ensuing career like many other artists I lost track of until recently. Recently a friend loaned me Olivia's 2007 ...

If this is the Circus, then Britney's the clown. by tjhassecrets Pros: Maybe it'll kill her career once and for all.
Cons: Production, lyrics, sound, voice, obnoxiousness-levels. Britney Spears and Christina Aguliera were the 1990s answer to Tiffany and Debbie Gibson-- and unlike those two, both of them managed to stay in the spotlight. Eventually outgrowing the teeny-bopper sound, both women went on to create successful dance ...

BOZ SKAGGS' "SPEAK LOW": SENSITIVE RETURN TO THE CLASSICS by mike.holmes Pros: Tremendous singing, musicianship, arranging of truly wonderful songs
Cons: None Boz Skaggs was born William Royce Skaggs in 1943 in Canton, Ohio. He was dubbed "Bosley" in school which was shortened to Boz. He started playing guitar at 12 and teamed up with Steve Miller (and Ben Sidran) in the 60's. ...

Celebratory Songs in the Slough of Slang by bethesdalily Pros: Excellent compilation of a number of classic worship songs.

T.I. Becomes a Self-Help Guru by cashclay Pros: Generally good guests, T.I. remains an impressive technical rapper.
Cons: Disappointing production, lyrics aren't always believable. Suggesting that T.I.'s career has floundered would be exaggeratory—after all, the Atlanta emcee has released two platinum-selling albums and earned a handful of Grammy nominations in less than two years. Very few of even the most successful ...

With "Games" This Dreary, You'd Be Surprised Fleetwood Mac Had A "Future" by floatingcity Pros: Everything is passable, 'atmospheric' fluff.
Cons: There are no moments of interesting instrumentation or melody. In keeping with what was rapidly becoming Fleetwood Mac’s unofficial mantra (“another year, another interpersonal disaster”), February 1971 saw the band deal with the abrupt departure of its guitarist Jeremy Spencer, who “went out for a magazine” one day ...

TED SIROTA'S REBEL SOULS: REBELS WITH A CAUSE by mike.holmes Pros: Imaginative songs which provoke feelings of protest-excellent musicianship
Cons: Some songs a little too discordant Recently, I purchased a CD which featured jazz songs from various artists on the Delmark Label over a 55 year period. One of the bands on the album was Ted Sirota's Rebel Souls and the song featured was from this 2004 album, "Breeding ...

Different Cover, Same album by glvrican Pros: "Anticipating" and "That's Where You Take Me"
Cons: "I'm Not A Girl, Not Yet A Woman" sucks! First of all, I'd just like to point out that this is not the real cover of BRITNEY. The real cover of the album is actually blue, with Britney putting her hands between her legs, as if preparing to masturbate in a couple of minutes. THAT'S THE ...

808s Starring Kanye West As The Heartbreak Kid by roheblius Pros: Impeccable production, interesting theme
Cons: Overuse of auto-tune, Kanye's not a good singer I don't think I'm going out on a limb by saying that Kanye West's new album, 808s & Heartbreak, is the single most polarizing commercial release of the year. And that's even with the new Guns and Roses release that's hit the market as ...

Bad girl, good girl, what’s up girl? by silktempest Pros: Wildly unpredictable

Perhaps you'd better start from the beginning... by michael121 Pros: Digitally remastered early recordings, a well deserved remaster of La Sexorcisto, the DVD.
Cons: Several noteworthy exclusions, horrendous packaging. Box sets are rarely perfect. They usually fail to exceed or even meet expectations, and no matter how much content they're packed with, they always elicit a degree of buyer's remorse from even the most faithful of fans. Perhaps the quintessential example ...

Adult Contemporary Snooze-Fest by starcollector Pros: I don't hate my life when I'm listening to this album.

Hot enough to take your mama blush. by tjhassecrets Pros: Funky pop music with real direction. Great experimentation. David Bowie!
Cons: Overlooked by the masses; has a bit of a time-stamp. Highly regarded as the worst album from one of the greatest rock bands ever in existence, Hot Space is certainly the strangest release from Queen's impressive catalogue. This early 80s funk album experiments with pop, disco, mixed with that ...

Robust Taylor, "Covers" Satisfies Those Looking For Something Different From James Taylor! by wlswarts Pros: Good vocals, Musically robust

In fact, I've decided to revisit some of the female pop-rock artists who I might have glossed over on the ...

Anything is Possible-- well, not anything. by tjhassecrets Pros: NRG! The first half of the album is amazing.
Cons: Mood Swings. The second half is abysmal. It's strange to hear a bubble pop princess making a concept album, but that's exactly what the young Debbie Gibson did on her 1990 Anything is Possible album, which was third and last successful record before going a more independent root and ...
