John Adams 16 reviews
Rob Lane, Joseph Vitarelli
Varese Sarabande, 2008
Music for John Adams - the Movie - Stands on It's Own and More
This sound track the work of composers Rob Lane and Joseph Vitarelli really evoke the emotions of the era and the people in their works.
Their work complements the efforts of David McCullough through his book and the people in the production of the movie, the actors, the cinematographers and all the others including Tom Hanks and the others in making of this series for which the soundtrack ...

Immortal Technique & DJ Green Lantern
Viper, 2008
Hip Hop is Alive
Technique is the realest and he'll give it to you straight with this CD...true, hardcore lyrics with dope beats...also check out revolutionary vol.1 and 2 if you haven't heard of them. Both cd's are sick, but vol.2 is a real classic.

It Is Time For A Love Revolution 55 reviews
Lenny Kravitz
Virgin Records Us, 2008
Lenny Proves There Is Hope!
Now let me just start by saying this cd is almost religious! It's so insanely great that I lose my mind when I listen to it and play along to it! It's so full of emotion that is missing from today's pop & rock music. Thank goodness that Lenny still has the blessing of the Gods of great music! If you don't understand the greatness of this album, that embraces all the great music of the past, you ...

Revolutions Per Minute 52 reviews
Rise Against
Fat Wreck Chords, 2003
WARNING: Highly Addictive
Rise Against has risen(no pun intended) to be one of the best mainstream bands out there. Tim McIlrath has probably the best vocals in a punk band I've seen since Glenn Danzig. And the musicians are highly talented. They may be punk, but that doesn't mean that they have no talent at their instruments.
Anyway, about this album. It didn't quite captivate me at first. Probably because I've grown ...

Nas
Def Jam, 2008
Commericial Hip-Hop's Saving Grace
Nas is as real as Ice Water and you better bring a life preserver if you think you can tread water behind him ask Jay-Z after Ether. He soon reconciled and recruited this mad lyricist to his camp. I could say many positive things about this brother and the most important I feel is that he has stayed grounded and been about the Revolution. He is even much more prolific and resolute as he ...

Revelation1 review, 2008
Awesome. Journey"s Best.
I bought the CD w/ the DVD and when I played it, it was going back in time to when I followed Journey concert after concert. Now that I'm very much older, still a fan and I was at the concert at Mandalay Bay, VIVA LAS VEGAS. Historic and pure energy for me. A must buy.

One Man Revolution 37 reviews
The Nightwatchman
Sony, 2007
Great inspiring album with an awesome message
I truly loved this album. Definitely not what you'd expect musically from Tom (i love Rage and Audioslave-not a folk fan), but what better vehicle than folk music to clearly convey Tom's awesome message of social justice. The songs' lyrics are truly inspiring and the guitar work, although simple, is very memorable/catchy. Every song touched me with its thoughtful and passionate message. Who knew ...

DO IT NOW
This is a killer DVD even tho most of it already available. The naration/no-naration option is very welcome. The naration is short and un-abtrusive. If you have 1 CLASH dvd this - should be it. If you have 1 music dvd - this should be it. If you 1 dvd - this should be it.

Great
This album is great because it shows how people around the world can all come together and worship God. No there are no new songs but that's not important

Music from the Motion Picture "Purple Rain"178 reviews
Prince & the Revolution
Warner Bros / Wea, 1990
Who says a funk band can't play rock?
That Minneapolis sound...wow, it has all been stated by others, but the intro to 'Purple Rain'...that BIG, lush, twangy, warm, full-bodied Richenbacker 330/12 string is one of the masterpieces of Prince's career. He does more with those few bars than others do with an entire cd. It sets up a great song and lays the foundation for Prince to come in later with his odd looking, but razor sharp ...

WINDHAM HILL IS THE BEST ! ! !
I've been a WINDHAM HILL fan since their early works and this box set is the best. Great artists and music compilation and inside staff information from the early years.
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this one for truly Early Windham Hill followers.

Best Drinking CD Ever!!!
My buddy in college gave me this CD. His friend had heard them at some bar at U of A, and bought a CD. This album is incredible. Now, the lyrics are not exactly deep...but they are catchy, recognizable, relatable sing- (shout-) along lyrics and girls love these songs, too. I had so, so, so many good nights listening to this CD getting absolutely tossed and singing as loud as I possibly could! ...

Sympathy for the Devil40 reviews
Mick Jagger, Keith Richards (II)
Abkco, 2003
A Goddard classic
An amazing depiction of the creative process in contrast to the "revolutionary" process. The Stones, working together, create a new piece of music, which is itself a commentary on political upheaval. At the same time, Goddard, pointing his finger at the true "devil" - i.e. the deadening impact of the media - playfully contrasts the Stone's creative process with the decidedly "uncreative" language ...

The Revolution Will Not Be Televised19 reviews
Gil Scott-Heron
RCA, 1990
Proto hip hop and jazz protest music with soul
Soulful, melodic and biting social commentary circa 1974 is what you'll find on "The Revolution Will Not Be Televised." Gil Scott-Heron pulls no punches in his assessment of America. This is not some feel good R&B or cartoonish gansta rap. Social protest and commentary are the order on this album. Kind of like the Public Enemy of his day, Gil Scott-Heron stays grounded in the real and the ...

Prince & the Revolution
Warner Bros / Wea, 1990
One of Prince's Most Rich and Colorful Releases!
This is one of Prince's richest and most colorful releases. He covers an awful lot of ground stylistically in a pretty short amount of time, so there's little consistency in tone and sound, and that ends up being both an asset AND a weakness on this album. The good thing though is that even the weakest material isn't so much bad as it is just really, really mediocre, so the album still ends up ...

O.A.R. (Of a Revolution)
Everfine, 2001
Best O.A.R. Available
This is the best of O.A.R's 4 studio released albums. All of the songs contain their authentic sound with "So moved on" being the best ("City on down" and "i feel home" are not too far behind). If don't have any O.A.R. cd's, get this one first, but be sure to buy their other 3 studio albums and their awesome live album "Any Time Now." Also, if you get the chance, go see them live, it's quite ...

Kalmah
Spinefarm Records, 2008
Amazing Melodic Swamp Album
Another Classic Melodic album at its best! This album features more of a variety in vocals. Kalmah uses their old high pitched vocals and their new but intense low vocals as heard on their previous release "The Black Waltz". The guitars and bass are just phenomenal in terms of how they incorporate melodies and heavyness. Solos are just great as well. The drums of course as always are brutal and ...
