Help! (Deluxe Edition)

CD-Charts > Music > Oldies and Retro
starring: The Beatles
directed by: Richard Lester

Release Date November 06, 2007
It's many years since I first saw this film. It took me back to "The Time" . . . Quite corny and, in my opinion, not as good as A Hard Days Night, but nonetheless a bit of fun.

Abbey Road

CD-Charts > Music > Oldies and Retro
by: The Beatles

Release Date October 25, 1990
A thousand reviews? I only can echo the majority. This is simply another masterpiece from the greatest band that ever cut a record. These four were in a class by themselves. The Beatles and then there were all the others. Abbey Road blew everyone away when it came out and still is an experience and not just a set of songs put together for listening to while you run the vacumn cleaner. I always think of some of the assertions that have been made about Shakespeare when I take in the entire catlog of the Beatles. It seems impossible that one small rock combo could come together and create art the way they did the same way that so many people can't imagine one person writing as many classics as Shakespeare did. During the time of the Beatles, it was one set ... Read More:

The Beatles 1

CD-Charts > Music > Oldies and Retro
by: The Beatles

Release Date November 14, 2000
Appart from a couple 4-star cuts, this record is just amazing. It has all The Beatles' singles that went up to #1, in US and UK charts, arranged chronologically.

You may like it more or less, but you can't deny all the songs here defined the whole sound of contemporary pop/rock music, even till today, no matter how hard the critics are.

It may still lack a few other excellent songs from the band deserving to be on a greatest hits collection, but you may still try to get them sepparately by looking for the career albums.

These are just #1s. Not more. No less.

How can I review a product when I NEVER recieved it? I hope that Amazon will check out sellers better. This seller was a rip off and NEVER responded to my emails.

Consolers Of The Lonely

CD-Charts > Music > Oldies and Retro
from: Warner Brothers

Release Date March 25, 2008
The new Raconteurs album is incredible in its layered simplicity. This is Jack White's new band and the album breaks boundaries while still having a familiar feeling to it. The instrumentation mixes modern and traditional styles in a seamless album. I found the debut album "Broken Boy Soldiers" to be a bit weak, not bad, but not terribly memorable. Pick this album up immediately! You will not be disappointed.

Rubber Soul

CD-Charts > Music > Oldies and Retro
by: The Beatles

Release Date October 25, 1990
Though they continued to tour through 1966, by late 1965 the Fab Four considered themselves primarily studio musicians, and the two great mid-period albums "Rubber Soul" and "Revolver", even in their abbreviated Capitol versions, reflect this. Gone are the simpler, crowd-pleasing rave-ups that had driven teenaged girls crazy just a short time earlier, replaced by meticulous studio craftsmanship. In its original Parlophone form (the CD reviewed here), "Rubber Soul", from December, 1965, contains fourteen originals, ranging from Paul McCartney's cheery "Drive My Car", to John Lennon's much more complex "Norwegian Wood" (about a brief tryst, a landmark song in the Beatle canon, as it deals with much more adult subject matter than the group had ever addressed before), to George Harrison's ...

Dark Side Of The Moon

by: Pink Floyd

Release Date October 25, 1990
Aaaaaarghgh!! Yikez!!!!!!!! Oh my Goodness hearing ('enduring' is a better word)this heap of cow dung is worse than being covered in poisonous snake slime venom, it's worse than being sent off to the farthest planet in the Galaxy with only a pack of Dunkin' Donuts to digest.
Listening to Spek to me is like having your nails clipped with a mowing machine. Hearing The great Keck in the sky is like a scene from Hostel 2, Time and Money are cheap no-good filthgangbusters, Us and them is like having a gasmask on you just when you wake up. The other tracks are like being washed in Chlorine Acids.

It's that bad


DO NOT BUY THIS HEAP OF DREGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Revolver [UK]

CD-Charts > Music > Oldies and Retro
by: The Beatles

Release Date October 25, 1990
Released in August, 1966, at roughly the same time the Beatles stopped touring for good, "Revolver" remains amazing in its sheer variety. The songs are all over the map: Paul McCartney pays tribute to Motown with the horn-driven "Got To Get You Into My Life"; Ringo sings about the joys of living in a "Yellow Submarine" (later the basis for their delightful third motion picture); George Harrison expresses his Indian interests in "Love You To" (and delivers a jab to the Inland Revenue with "Taxman"); and John Lennon explores his own head with "She Said She Said" and the astonishing "Tomorrow Never Knows", in which his voice, filtered through a revolving Leslie speaker, is combined with backward-masking to create an eerie masterpiece, unlike anything heard from a pop group before, even the Fab Four ...

Release Date April 29, 2008
Well this CD is not all that bad but the songs tend to have the same melody without little variation but if you like that kind of pop/rock. I tend to call these type of recordings pop/rock because the vocals sound more like a pop song but the music is more rockish. I am not really into this type of sound but I can relate but she is no Avril Lavine but her music could be compared to artist in that catagory.
