All I Intended to Be

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

Release Date June 10, 2008
Once again I feel compelled to comment on Emmylou's music. When I first saw this disk I read various reviews here whining that this album is a "downer" and the like. I smiled to myself and bought it without a second thought. I would have bought it no matter what the reviews said. Yes, Emmylou sings about pain, but she also sings about redemption and perseverance, the dawn that follows the darkness. Anyway, what price do you put on music that brings tears to your eyes?

But I am writing just to comment on one track from this disk. "All That You Have Is Your Soul", a song that did not grab me when I heard the author's version two decades ago, is rescued here and made Emmylou's own. The song includes the lines: "hunger only for ... Read More:

The Illusion Of Progress

CD-Charts > Music > American Alternative
by: Staind

Release Date August 19, 2008
This album caught me off guard at first. I did not know how to react to it, as I was hoping for somewhat of a mix between "Break the Cycle" and the last two albums. However, after listening to it a handful of times, I have found myself truly loving this album. It is difficult to realize that different is not always a bad thing. Aaron Lewis is still the best lead man out there in my book, and always will be. So everyone just calm down and rate this CD on its own merit. If you stop comparing it to their previous work and just take it for what it is, then the ratings would go up. This is not 1999 anymore, so let's move on and enjoy the new music Staind has made.

Also, if I am not mistaken, this is the last record they will make with their ... Read More:

Raising Sand

Release Date October 23, 2007
Allison Krause is the sweetest, loviest person on the globe. Good for Plant for lending his rock god name to a project that is her essence as a late life bid for irony. Good show Bobbie!

Release Date November 21, 2006
After continually hearing Daughtry on the radio at work, and liking the songs that I heard, I decided to purchase the CD. VERY wise choice on my part. The CD is great! It's been in my CD player since it arrived about a month ago, and it won't be coming out anytime soon.

Minutes to Midnight

CD-Charts > Music > American Alternative
by: Linkin Park

Release Date May 15, 2007
Okay, I will be short and to the point. This is a different CD than the previous ones. The songs, "Given Up" and "Bleed it Out" are reminiscent of Linkin Park's traditional style. There is much less Mike Shinoda presence (unfortunately). However, all hope is not lost. The songs "Leave Out All The Rest" and "Shadow of The Day" are a little "emo" some might say, but they are very well written and full of a lot of meaning. The song "Hands Held High" is VERY excellent Mike Shinoda creation. To the listener it is obviously a giant political message - and very well done at that. It's vague, yet at the same time everyone knows what is being discussed/attacked. The rest of the songs are also good, but I'd say they aren't as strong as the rest. Overall I'd rate this ...
