Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix 51 reviews
Phoenix
Glass Note, 2009
Out of The Ashes of Brilliance
Straight out of France, Phoenix is less of a band rising out of the ashes, and more like a bird setting the world on fire with its perfect blend of synth, rock and pop. Their sound is entrancing and only raised in quality by its quirky lyrics, and 21st century catchiness. Mark my words, you're going to be seeing a lot of artists in the next decade building off of, and using the sound blueprint ...

Complete Clapton81 reviews
Eric Clapton
Reprise / Wea, 2007
Album Version No Longer Available for Download on Amazon.
I tried to find out why Amazon stopped selling the MP3 Album of Clapton-Complete Clapton, by calling customer support. It was explained that amazon had pulled two of the songs from the album, making the album download unavailable. No explaination for why this occured, but I did a little investigation, and found that two other albums are essentially, this album. They are Clapton-The Cream of ...

Really Useful Records, 2001
'PHANTASTIC!'
Ever since I was 12, I have been in love with musicals operas and broadway productions. It is no secret that singing as an operatic soprano has made me love it all the more. Phantom of the opera ranks as my top musical in any production followed my Les Miz and Miss Saigon. When I was 14 I was introduced to the movie version and thought that it was fantastic. However after seeing the live ...

The Greatest Love Songs of All Time16 reviews
Barry Manilow
Arista, 2010
Dreamy and Steamy
I am a Barry fan from the start, and I purchased this album first day it was out and have enjoyed it many times. His voice is crisp and clear, the songs--perfect for Valentine's Day or for when you are feeling very romantic!!! His choices for songs range through the decades and they all add to the album. I particularly love "The Look of Love", "I Can't Give You Anything But Love", "Theme from ...

Awesome
Love Unstoppable was a hit from track one on. It's very rare that I get a new CD and love every track right off. I can't stop playing it. Fred you Rock.

Abbey Road (Remastered)1197 reviews
The Beatles
EMI, 2009
The Beatles - Abbey Road
What else do you expect? This is Abbey Road we're talking about here. This to me is the Beatles at their best. Come Together, Something, Octopus's Garden, Here Comes The Sun, She Came In Through The Bathroom Window, Carry That Weight, The End. Talk about ending on a high note. They were as far away from each other as they ever were, but I think it really worked to their benefit. They jump from ...

Chris Botti in Boston (CD/DVD)114 reviews
Chris Botti
Sony, 2009
Best concert video
I have never been a real fan of trumpet but this concert video is unusually well done. Sound is excellent and the videos remarkable. Guest stars nearly steal the show but Chris holds his own. The fact that you get both the CD and DVD for one price is truly amazing. Worth every penny.

Best Michael Jackson concert video you will ever find. Great lighting, great audio, great camera shots. A great loss. We will never see someone who can sing, dance like him ever again.

Black Gives Way To Blue226 reviews
Alice In Chains
Virgin Records, 2009
Grammy Nomination Needed
I suppose Alice in Chains will fly under the Grammy nomination radar (for 2011). That's too bad. This album is incredibly good. It's one of those albums that does not hit you over the head right away (and then you eventually get tired of it). Upon the third or fourth listening, you appreciate the grooves and the depth of the songs, and you begin to fear just how much you are going to love it.

The Chopin Collection [Box Set]25 reviews
Frederic Chopin, Artur Rubinstein
RCA Victor Europe, 1991
The ultimate gift.
This is an incredible collection. I have been listening through the box and am up to disc ten this morning. I don't know how anyone can claim not to like classical music when you listen to the beauty of Chopin's Berceuse. The color and beauty of Rubinstein's playing is beyond description. Buy this music for your children, your grandchildren, your friends. The price is unbeatable. Yes there are ...

Botti Magic
I have been a Chris Botti fan since 2002 when I first heard his music being played at a resturant in Dayton, Ohio. It was a memorable experience to have him playing in the background while having dinner with a close friend. From that moment, I have been a Chris Botti lover! I had the good fortune to attend his concert (Nov 2009) in Indianapolis. It was a magical evening, one that I'll never ...

Aventura
Sony International, 2009
The Last= The Best
First of all i'd like to say that I own every album Aventura has released. I absolutely love these guys. I personally think this album is the best. Not only have they grown as musicians, Romeo personally has grown with his lyrics. He was always good, great, the best even. But his lyrics took this album to another level. Lenny ofcourse was genuis on the guitar as always (Just listen to Su Veneno ...

Michael Buble
WEA/Reprise, 2007
Exceptional!
My one word for this Christmas album is: Exceptional!
Mr. Bublé is a young man who has a bravura voice and style. I originally purchased one song from this album via Amazon download since there were only a few on the album and the tracks are pretty standard. I only had to listen once to "Grown-Up Christmas List" (just listen to his take on the verse "No more lives torn apart...", ...

A Time for Relaxation, Vol. 1: Guided Relaxation Techniques for Wellness21 reviews
Beth Freschi
None, 2010
A Time for Relaxation is AMAZING
This is my very first relaxation CD I have purchased. Let me tell you...it changed my nights! I was having so much trouble falling asleep because I would get lost in my own thoughts and relive the day (and sometimes the past). I couldn't shut down. When I listen to Beth's soothing voice and words - I listen to what she is saying and forget all about my day. Listening to her CD has become my ...

Surprised by Delight
Following Yo-Yo's cello has led us to some really wonderful music over the years.
He has so much fun with his musician friends & shares it with us!
This particular body of work is surprisingly varied & delightful any season of the year.
Nothing grates or irritates, and it all flows so nicely that I have to listen again when it ends.
This CD introduced me to Renee Fleming who sings a Blossom ...

I have heard many things about this cd. "Smooth Operator" with different words, same old stuff, time for a change, etc.. Well, all I can say if you have only put out five cd's before this one and you have sold 10 million units. IF IT AIN"T BROKE DON"T FIX IT!!!!!!! Sade is the Queen of what she does. Keep it coming the way you have in the past and into the great beyond. Thank you Ms. Adu

A real singer
I disagree with many of the reviews. I love justin and think he is adorable. He has real talent- or else usher wouldn't have signed him. He is not just another pretty face. I believe that we will see much more from him. He has a quality voice and sweet lyrics. I have seen him perform live and he was very good without all the backround music- he sang one song acoustic. Sure he is cute, but that ...

Rebirth 36 reviews
Lil Wayne
Cash Money Records, 2010
Lil Wayne is a musical genius
Do you guys remember the first time you listened to The Beatles, Led Zeppelin or Jimi Hendrix? These bands have left a major impact on my life and forever changed the way I look at music. 30 years from now we will all be asking ourselves the same question for Rebirth. This is truly a staggering achievement in musicianship that will not be matched for a very long time. Probably ever.

one of the best soundtracks of the year
hans zimmer did an excellent job with this score. definitely different than his previous blockbuster scores (batman begins, dark knight, pirates of the caribbean movies), but just as great. i can't seem to listen to it enough.
