Stark * by Gregory Douglass
Stark, but rich with a slew of amazing tracks.
by tjhassecrets
Pros: Introspective, honest, Dry, Crazy Love, Alibis, Upside Down.
Cons: Can feel a little distant for some people.
This has got to be the one Gregory Douglass album that I can't entirely put my finger on. Out of all of his records, this one is possibly the coldest, as it's almost winter captured on an album. At the time, this was an experimental album for Gregory, ...

A Saucerful of Secrets by Pink Floyd
Lacks Syd Barrett's Inspired Mayhem, But Nonetheless Formidable

Pros: The space-rock vibe is usually fantastic!
Cons: Some of this is boring and/or disorienting.
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 ...

Bring Ya to the Brink * by Cyndi Lauper
Brought the Brink-- And I'd Do It All Over Again
by tjhassecrets
Pros: Broad selections of dance tracks. Cyndi's fun again, yet still very mature.
Cons: Some tracks have a dissappointing house-club sound.
Cyndi Lauper. You know her. I'm not going to write about how she's only one of the greatest pop icons of all time. Rather than comparing this record to her past classics like She's So Unusual and True Colors, let's look to the future, ...

New Surrender * by Anberlin
Anberlin Surrenders Quickly to Mainstream Pressure
by beekd91
Pros: It's still energetic and catchy; "Blame Me! Blame Me!" is a highlight.
Cons: Unoriginal in the first half, bland in the second, and shallow in both halves.
Few albums have irritated me quite as much as Anberlin’s New Surrender. Why, you ask? First, some context. Anberlin started with a bang on Tooth & Nail Records with the decent debut ...

Kookoo by Deborah Harry
Defines Experimental 1980s PopFunk
by tjhassecrets
Pros: Experimental, solid pop music.
Cons: Overlooked by the masses. Out of print.
In 1981, Cyndi Lauper was unknown, singing in clubs with her band, and Madonna? Madonna was eating fistfuls of popcorn for dinner in somebody's basement. Tina Turner was hitting rockbottom just before she began work on her comeback Private Dancer ...

Loyalty To Loyalty by Cold War Kids
An Album I'm Certainly Not Thankful For
by knowncutter
Pros: This band, in theory, sounds great. Indie rockers with influences outside Pavement...
Cons: This album is a wreck. Only a few, fleeting positive moments.
If you head on over to allmusic.com (a very respectable site for all things music, surprisingly) and read the first few sentences of Cold War Kids' biography, there's a pretty damn good chance you'll wind up - like me - excited about this band. To quote: ...

Kellie Pickler (Deluxe Edition) * by Kellie Pickler
Less can be more: not as happy with Pickler's deluxe version.
by Monnie1976
Pros: Lots of great songs, Kellie has a nice voice, a lot of fun
Cons: The extra tracks don't really add extra but takeaway from the album.
When Kellie Pickler was voted off American Idol back in 2006 I wasn't really disappointed. Back in the day I was pulling for Elliot Yamin and Taylor Hicks over the twangy, slightly spacy blonde who while adorable didn't seem like a star. Boy was I wrong. ...

Kellie Pickler by Kellie Pickler
Kellie Pickler: As American as apple pie and usually as sweet.
by Monnie1976
Pros: Kellie Pickler's  hard to resist, great country pop tracks, she can sing decently
Cons: Avoid the big ballads and songs that talk about shopping. (Especially in the Country genre)
Sometimes there are people you know you would like if you met them. They seem down to earth and like they are a lot of fun. One of those people for me is Kellie Pickler. One of the biggest personalities from season five of American idol, she's found a ...

Fearless by Taylor Swift
An amazing album, by an amazing artist!
by freebird91
Pros: A great album, nothing but love for this young lady! She's maturd since her debut.
Cons: None, but then again... this is my opinion. ;)
Taylor Swift is an amazing singer and songwriter; I have the upmost respect for her. Not many teenage performers can write/co-write their own music like her. When you look and compare her first album with Fearless, you can see the difference and the ...

White Lights EP - Deas Vail
I keep coming back, it's all your fault.
by divad23
Pros: More aggressive approach on the rockers; the expected lush beauty on the slower songs.
Cons: "Last Place" is a bit frustrating; occasional rhythmic trickery takes getting used to.
Deas Vail went from "Never heard of 'em" to one of my personal A-list artists alarmingly quickly last summer. I couldn't help but fall head over heels for the band's glistening, imaginative, and sometimes complex brand of piano-laden rock music. ...

Chinese Democracy by Guns N Roses
Wake Up Posers! Axl's Back!!!!!
by thevoid99
Pros: Production, Performance, Songs, Vocals for the Most Part, & Ambition.
Cons: Stylistic Choices, Lyrical Flaws, & Moments in the Vocals.
In 1987, an album called Appetite for Destruction came out of nowhere providing the first nail in the coffin of hair metal. Releasing that album was a band called Guns N' Roses that in its original line-up consisted of vocalist Axl Roses, lead ...

Funhouse [PA] * by Pink
Pink's Funhouse: Laughing On The Outside, Crying On The Inside
by speeddemon531
Pros: Pink's killer voice and sarcastic edge helps these breakup songs go down easy.
Cons: This album is just a tad overproduced.
When Pink came onto the music scene almost a decade ago, did anyone think we'd still be talking about her a decade later? After making her initial entrance as a reasonably anonymous R&B singer, Pink remade herself with 2001's Missundaztood and ...

Cannon Re-Loaded: An All-Star Celebration of Cannonball Adderley * by Tom Scott
A JOYFUL TRIBUTE TO A JOYFUL MUSICIAN-CANNONBALL ADDERLEY
by mike.holmes
Pros: Tremendous playing by all concerned on every great song
Cons: Not one
Tribute albums can be hit and miss affairs.  The quality depends on several factors.  Of course, the "Tributee" must be a well known individual.  In this case, there is no doubt among jazz fans since the 50's, that Julian "Cannonball" ...

Intimacy by Bloc Party
They're Starting to Actually Sound Like an Awkward Social Gathering Amongst Creepy Neighbors: No Fun
by knowncutter
Pros: First two songs I suppose... Gloomy post-punk at times.
Cons: Bloc Party are officially as boring as a rock band can get.
If you've ever listened to Bloc Party, you can probably attest to their certain charming ambition. The British rock quartet's strongest appeal, as well as their most unique feature, is their earnest, dramatic flair, draping pop hooks in heavy, intensely ...

808s & Heartbreak by Kanye West
Winter just got a whole lot colder
by pretzel_logic
Pros: Cohesive, thematically adventurous, and ballsy all around
Cons: Auto-Tune makes this album a love-it-or-hate-it experience, along with the narrow musical palette
From the beginning of time, music has always been a means of releasing pent-up emotion. From the weepy confessionals of 70s singer-songwriters, to the men blasting the trumpets at war. I'm sure the harpists even got into it from time to time. It's only ...

Pros: Experimental, beautiful, introspective.
Cons: On this album? I don't think so.
The fact that Mr. Gregory Douglass isn't selling out concert halls across the nation is a damn shame. Gregory, who has been written and creating music for years, has released a slew of albums, among them the masterpieces Up & Away, Stark, ...

Pros: Diverse and interesting mix of many styles
Cons: Might be a bit too laid back for some
Beck's 2006 album The Information didn't come with cover art.  Instead, every CD came with four sheets of stickers so that fans could create their own wildly unique album art upon the disc's accompanying blank canvass.  It may have ...

In the CD tray of Farmhouse, there's a picture of the four members of Phish in the middle of a huge snowy expanse, staring up at the camera which is high above them. It's a pretty picture but it also helps to identify the dichotomy essential to ...

Bloodletting by Concrete Blonde
Concrete Blonde's Bloodletting: Helene's 90's Rock Nostalgia Trip, Part 3

Pros: Concrete Blonde's most consistent album, a few songs that are genuinely great.
Cons: Some *cringe* moments, especially "The Beast."  Slight melodies.
Concrete Blonde's Bloodletting (1990) holds so much sentimental value for me that I probably shouldn't be attempting to write an objective review of it. It's one of my oldest CDs, and was the first album I bought from a band outside ...
