There is no modern romance by GregRadiohead Pros: The last three songs are fantastic
Cons: Most of the album is forgettable You don't hear much about Fever To Tell anymore. In fact, the last time I can remember talking about it to someone was the fall of '06, when a short lived relationship found me in a then-girlfriend's car with, oddly, her pet bird hanging out on ...

The Gospel Soundtrack: A Pivotal Spiritual Journey in Song by keithpruitt Pros: Great music, powerful lyrics, performed excellently by talented artists
Cons: Nothing The musical religious experience of the African American community is vastly different from other cultures. With its mix of blues, soul, pop, contemporary black gospel is far different, yet strikingly similar, to that popularized by cultural icon Al ...

World Domination Begins With A Single Conquest by wolfman309 Pros:
A really great style that is unique to this brand of music. Cons: No tour of Michigan planned. For so long now in the world of thrash metal, there has been an increasing tendency for bands to start following the same formula. Hammering guitars, screaming vocals and a rhythm section that was there for the sole purpose of generating pain in their ...

Here's a new sub-genre for you... Alt-Appalachian. by divad23 Pros: Multi-layered vocals and folsky instruments - it's the "wall-of-sound" approach, organic-style.
Cons: A little sparse on the lyrics. Maybe too short? That's about it for the nitpicks. You know how they say never to judge a book by its cover? I'd like to add a corollary to that often true cliché - and you're probably expecting me to say that you should never judge a CD by its cover, either. Which is mostly true, though in the ...

sure does have a lot of notes by noktorn Pros: Well played and composed.
Cons: Lacks, you know, music. This is a rather revered release for reasons I entirely fail to understand, considering that it really seems like a long technical exercise more than an actual album. It's instrumentally very impressive and has some excruciatingly detailed compositions, ...

who CARES though by noktorn Pros: Well composed played blah blah
Cons: Nothing going on The tracks I heard off this album before purchasing it somehow fooled me into thinking this was one of those deathcore bands that moved in a more brutal direction ala Suicide Silence, but it turns out they're a rather typical melodic death/metalcore ...

Loss of Innocence by siamesemuzzle Pros: Great lyrics, great overall feel.
Cons: May not appeal to people unfamiliar with Jim Carroll. The Jim Carroll Band is fronted by, you guessed it, poet and former junky Jim Carroll. He first hit the scene with his diaries he wrote in his early and mid teen years, entitled The Basketball Diaries. If you don't know the book maybe the movie starring ...

Their Unfocused Swansong. by starcollector Pros: The diversity is fun. The music is well-written, generally speaking.

The section titled "Track Reviews" is meant only for those who want to read detailed descriptions of the songs, and ...

In the Midst of the Family Reunion by sj1and0 Pros: The song entitled "Everyday (Family Reunion)"
Cons: None! What an incredible afternoon of music I had listening to the stock of songs featured on "Tyler Perry's Madea's Family Reunion Soundtrack." It was an emotional journey with gorgeous detailing. On the album are ten songs of brilliance all about love ...

Roch shines on Sauf si amour by chiliqueen Pros: One of Roch's better albums in recent years.
Cons: His French albums are so hard to find in Anglo Canada/ the U.S.! Roch Voisine, originally from New Brunswick and a longtime resident of Montreal, has had a very successful (English/French) bilingual career in Francophone Canada and Europe beginning with Helene in 1989 and continuing into the present, where ...

Told you that I'd be here forever, took an oath I'ma stick it out by jbrd Pros: Fun, catchy music that made 2007 Rihanna's Year.
Cons: I didn't give the album a chance last year. I really hate myself. Last year, I reviewed Rihanna's Good Girl Gone Bad album and only gave it three stars. I never really gave the album a chance. One year later, the album was a major success which had Rihanna re-release the album with three extra ...

Even the band doesn't care. by noktorn Pros: zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Cons: zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz This is supposedly a Swedish death metal album, but there's a heaping dose of groove in here as well, to the point where it overwhelms the death metal quite frequently. You could call this post-thrash without much trouble if it weren't for some of the ...

SAW 85-92: In which Khendra becomes unusually visual-spatial! by thewisefool Pros: Makes you hear, visualize, and feel new things; almost like living out a dream.
Cons: Tedium makes a few visits. Selected Ambient Works 85-92 is the critically praised early work of Aphex Twin (Richard James), composed primarily during James' adolescence. It's amazing how much James does here with what would be considered a low-tech computer and ...

Foo Fighters Age Gracefully by PacManY2J Pros:
Excellent., mature mix of powerful arena rock and beautiful slow songs. Cons: Some might not be ready for the large amount of softer material The Foo Fighter's fifth album, In Your Honor, was a double disc set, each CD featuring a different side of the band. There was the heavy side that we'd been well aware of since 1995, and there was the soft side, exhibiting a gentler style that ...

"JAZZ GIANTS '58" LIVES UP TO ITS NAME by mike.holmes Pros: Great playing by all musicians with special kudos to Stan Getz
Cons: Only five songs although the total time is almost 50 minutes long Norman Granz was one of the movers and shakers in jazz for decades. Granz puts together the famed JATP which often combined players from different jazz eras on the same stage (i.e. Charlie Parker and Coleman Hawkins). In producing "Jazz Giants '58", ...

The Old Kids Get Injected With Some New Blood on NKOTB's Comeback Effort by speeddemon531 Pros:
When the songs are age-appropriate and less gimmicky, they actually work. Cons: Lyrical immaturity, too many production tricks, and that damn Auto-Tune. You know something, I always admired the New Kids on the Block for resisting temptation (and presumably a sh*t-ton of money) and not getting back together. The boy band that paved the way for *Nsync, The Backstreet Boys and a host of others had ...

I have to admit that this is very good by noktorn Pros: Technical but most importantly actually complex.
Cons: Benton is useless. The most surprising thing about 'Legion' really is that it's about as good as everyone says. The real question is whether it's good on its own or just good in comparison to Deicide's lesser moments. It's easy to see why so many people find this to be ...

These books steer our ship with good news by GregRadiohead Pros: A fantastic, unique indie rock album.
Cons: Smith's voice may turn away some listeners. If there's one thread running through indie rock, it's the constant struggle between authenticity and sincerity vs. irony and sarcasm. Not that bands can't tap into both, but many indie rockers end up going so far into the overly clever realm, piling on ...

Chamber Music For Your Headbangers Ball by wolfman309 Pros: Great music in a very different context than fans are accustom to.
