Leona Lewis
J-Records, 2008
Memorable lyrics, great voice, good rhythm!!
I was a little skeptical when I first saw Leona Lewis perform on American Idol. But after watching her performances on YouTube, and listening to her album, I'm convinced she'll go far. Unlike most American Idol contestant's music, besides Kelly Clarkson, I listen to Leona's songs repeatedly. My favorites are Track 2, Better in Time, Track 7, Angel, and Track 11, Take a Bow. If you like a ...

Radiohead
Capitol, 2008
A compilation done right
On Amazon U.K., a number of Radiohead fans are already complaining that this compilation is unwarranted, unnecessary and unjust, and I'm sure they'll be doing the same here soon. Many of these fans argue that Radiohead should not be anthologized because their albums should be heard as albums, not as parts of a collection. While I can respect that opinion to a point, Radiohead has released ...

The best of the best
I have to say, I have come to realize this is one of my favorite albums of the year tied with Houston Marchman's - Naked The Best of Houston Marchman. Both are soooo good and I can listen to their voices over and over again and never get tired. Houston Marchman is special in that his music is filled with soul, passion, and solid lyrics. He truley has THE best singing vioce I have ever heard in ...

Vampire Weekend
Xl Recordings, 2008
Definitely Worth a Listen
Vampire Weekend is a relatively new band from New York City and have had much hype recently with their self-titled release. They are much talked about on the internet and have done a great David Letterman appearance, adding to all the buzz about them. They have a relaxed sense with their afro-beats and rhythms that's gaining fans daily. Ezra Koenig's vocals are sweet in a charming and laid-back ...

Perfect for the whole family and all ages!
You know in the 90's I was never into the Barenaked Ladies, I took no notice of them when they were over-played on the radio and thought they had a stupid name for a band. Now however with two toddlers around, I decided to get this album when I heard it reveiwed on the Manic Mommies podcast. Now I'm hooked.
It's super silly music that makes the kids dance and is all around entertaining. You can ...

Great Irish Music Show
"Irish Thunder" is a cross between a stage show and a concert. It features five male singers in solo and group performances, all of them excellent, with a variety of accompaniments, including a string orchestra, drums, bagpipes, guitar--very professional. Traditional and contemporary Irish songs and a few modern standards such as "Desperado", "Brothers In Arms" and a show-stopping performance ...

Irish at it best...
What was created in Celtic Woman, is replicated in Celtic Thunder. A wonderful diversification of ballads and pure traditional Irish songs. If you like Irish music, this is a must have!

Opeth
Roadrunner Records, 2008
Opeth continue to prove that they are the best metal band out there.
I was worried what this album would sound like, since Martin Lopez and Peter Lindgren left. Sure, Mikael Akerfeldt is the most important member of the band, but still... Lopez and Lindgren were great musicians. And they were with the band for so long, so they knew what Opeth fans liked to hear, and they knew how to work with Mikael's vision of their sound. So what would they be like now that ...

Must own!!
This cd actually made me cry when I listened to it. I had forgotten how incredibly talented Healey was and now that he is gone, we have lost a truly amazing musician. This is an awesome release from an amazing individual. You must get this cd.

Heads Up, 2008
Spicy Hot.
I was listening to NPR and heard an interview about this prodigy name Esperanza. What an amazing story. I was compelled to immediately buy this album solely based on her story.
AM I GLAD I DID!
As a bass player I found Cachao Lopez to be my all time favorite, however the freshness of her bass style and contrasting vocal melodies that permeate this disc are a joy to which one can not help ...

Day's Legend Best of Bob Marley and the Wailers Review
This is the best album ever. It truly helps you understand Bob Marley's want for the world and how he feels we can overcome strife, racism, and the hate that is in the world. Just press play and feel the overwhelming rythms, and captiving tones that only Bob Marley and The Wailers can give.

my appetite was satisfied!
Well all I can say is that the boy's have done it again. I went to see the movie with much anticipation. I went alone due to broken promises from the guy's. So There I was (sad to say) the only one in the theatre in a suburb of New York City. And the show was unbelievable on the screen. But to now have the soundtrack deluxe cd has completed the scene for me. This cd is an awesome display of the ...

I loved this new cd. It has a great mixture of songs. The new material
is alot of fun. The older songs are great too. I have tickets to go see
his show in Chicago and hearing the new music is great.
It was a great value too. Only 14.99 for 20 or more songs. I got it
quickly also. Thank you for a great deal. I surely would have paid more
anywhere else.
