All I Intended to Be

CD-Charts > Music > Alternative Styles
by: Emmylou Harris

Release Date June 10, 2008
HAVING BEEN A FAN OF EMMYLOU SINCE PIECES OF THE SKY, HER FIRST ALBUM, I HAVE HEARD THIS WOMAN GROW AND DEVELOP INTO ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT ARTIST AROUND. WITH THIS ALBUM SHE HAS CREATED A MASTERPIECE WORK! SONGS LIKE "NOT ENOUGH" WHICH I INTERPERT AS A SONG ABOUT GRAM PARSONS, I COULD BE WRONG BUT THATS JUST MY FEELING. "GOLD" IS MAJESTIC, AS IS "HOLD ON". EVERY SINGLE SONG ON THIS ALBUM IS EXQUISITE BUT THE MASTERSTROKE IS "SAILING ROUND THE ROOM" IT IS SIMPLY THE BEST WORK EMMYLOU HAS EVER RECORDERD ALONG WITH KATE AND ANNA SINGING BACKGROUND VOCALS THIS SONG IS A TREASURE...WHAT MAKES THIS LP REAL SPECIAL IS THAT IT IS TOTALLY OUT OF STEP WITH THE PURE GARBAGE OF TODAY'S MUSIC...EMMYLOU IS A GENUIS WHO HAS GROWN WITH EACH ALBUM SHE RECORDS

Put it in, Turn up the volume, and Enjoy your vacation. Sigur Ros has this uncanny ability to warp the world around you, and it it well demonstrated in their latest album. Very few things get me in a better mood in the morning.

Raising Sand

CD-Charts > Music > Alternative Styles
from: Rounder

Release Date October 23, 2007
"Raising Sand" is the haunting and brilliant collaboration between Robert Plant and Allison Krauss; it opens with my favorite track - the Sam Phillips song "Sister Rosetta Goes Before Us", which quickly demonstrates that there's a lot more going on here than the "Led Zeppelin goes Country" preconception that the notion of these two artists working together conjures up. The album continues with track after track enjoyment and surprise. This is yet another triumph for producer T Bone Burnett, who has incisively crafted a breath-taking soundscape, supported by some of the finest musicians working today, where the whole is deliriously more than the sum of the parts. It all sounds so effortless that you know it must have been quite the opposite - dreamy and ... Read More:

Evil Urges

CD-Charts > Music > Alternative Styles
by: My Morning Jacket

Release Date June 10, 2008
I am not going to tell you that "Highly Suspicious"" is a Prince knockoff or this album was too experimental or not experimental enough. But I will ask you to put the CD in, listen from first note to last note, and tell ne that the CD did not take you on an imaginaty journey through different scenic pastures. My opinion is that this CD made my mind travel as would "Wish You Were Here" or "A Farewell to Kings" To me, the whole is better than the sum of its parts. Enjoy

Release Date June 03, 2008
This CD Rocks from start to finish. I personally love the music along with the lyrics. You can tell the band has matured threw the years and mastered their music skills. I now have all their albums and look forward to many more albums by Disturbed. A side note my favorite tracks are 1, 2, 6, and 11.

Trouble in Mind

CD-Charts > Music > Alternative Styles
by: Hayes Carll

Release Date April 08, 2008
It's nice to enjoy an album that is just plain fun with great guitar and fantastic band playing perfectly with a singer with fascinating lyrics that sometimes make me laugh out loud. If you enjoy a touch of country mixed with a touch of rock and you have a free spirit, this one is truly for you. I particularly love "She Left Me for Jesus", the humor that glides through the song of a poor fellow whose girlfriend tells him she has become saved by Jesus with him confused is pure knock out funny. And a "Girl Downtown" about a simple boy meeting simply girl with plunking guitar is another fun one that is just entertaining fun that sounds great particular with backing vocals that sound like a mature Dolly Parton. There are beautiful songs as well such as "It's a Shame" about two potential ... Read More:

Consolers Of The Lonely

CD-Charts > Music > Alternative Styles
from: Warner Brothers

Release Date March 25, 2008
Greta cd, with great songs, great musicians, one of the freshest cd's I've heard in a long long time, I definitely think that Jack White III is one of the few geniuses of the actual American music.
The structure of the songs is also very appealing!
A 10!

I like this album, but is seems like it was a bit rushed. Not as creative or energetic as 3DD's previous releases.

In Rainbows

CD-Charts > Music > Alternative Styles
by: Radiohead

Release Date January 01, 2008
I can't fully express my loathing of this album. Its like random beating mixed with terrible vocals that sound more like humming than actual words. I got this free but really they should have paid me to buy it.
