Down to Earth

CD-Charts > Music > Adult Alternative
by: Jem

Release Date September 16, 2008
I'm a fan of Jems first CD Finally Woken, but this was almost painful. This album just seems to lay there, while trying too hard at too many styles. This is a classic example of a sophomore slump, no doubt about it. A four year wait, for this? Well, at least they got the title right.

Sleep Through The Static

CD-Charts > Music > Adult Alternative
by: Jack Johnson

Release Date February 05, 2008
Filled with soothing and relaxing tunes. He will always be in my top ten of singer-songwriters...with his beautiful voice. However, there is a sameness to his music....one of the reasons I follow a new emerging SS Arrica Rose who truly takes risks in her latest album, La La Lost with a variety a musical styles...lyrics that are quirky but with depth and insight...each song... more powerful than the other.

Live at Montreux 1991-1992

CD-Charts > Music > Adult Alternative
starring: Tori Amos

Release Date September 30, 2008
I watched "Winter" from this DVD on youtube...it was absolutely fabulous. The best performance I have seen of Tori doing this song. It brought me to tears, moved me from a deep place. I am happy to have been a part of her audience from '94-'08 to see how much she has grown and matured, how much we have grown and matured in a world view. Tori is still right on in my book, even though she doesn't have the "freshness" some say as she had in her earlier years. This is just a reminder to me of Tori's genius. We may not have had this LIVE at Montreux if she had not made it this far into her music career--a big star she is--that's the way it needs to be for someone like her. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

Snack Time

CD-Charts > Music > Adult Alternative
by: Barenaked Ladies

Release Date May 06, 2008
First a disclaimer - I'm a Barenaked Ladies fan.

I bought this CD for my nephew who just turned 3 (he has a brother age 7). The review I got from mum was "oh my god, they love it!" They love to sing along (as does mum) and as of this week (1.5 weeks after arriving) they won't let her get past the first 2 songs (7,8,9 & Ninja song.) They keep wanting to play these 2 over and over again -- so be warned mums and dads - it might get repetitive initially. Being a Pierre Burton fan I bought this CD for the Pollywog song. My nephews are Canadian.

Can't wait to hear what they have to say when they get to the rest of the album! Rock on Barenaked Ladies!

New Surrender

CD-Charts > Music > Adult Alternative
by: Anberlin

Release Date September 30, 2008
In a day and age where everything has gone Digital, I am finding it harder and harder to "discover" new music. I refuse to listen to local radio as they continue to pump out garbage and the songs repeat every couple of hours. I also refuse to pay for Satellite Radio as I don't spend much time in my vehicle. That leaves my trusty iPods and iPhone. Where am I going with all this? Well thanks to the modern invention of iPhone and the iTunes APP Store, I was able to discover this GREAT band.

The game was Tap Tap Revenge. A (free) Rhythm based game (similar to Dance Dance Revolution and Guitar Hero - a semi-hybrid) for the iPhone and iPod Touch which allows you to download new track for FREE. A couple of days ago, there was a download for a new ... Read More:

Daughtry

CD-Charts > Music > Adult Alternative
by: Daughtry

Release Date November 21, 2006
I've really liked Chris Daughtry's music ever since he appeared on American Idol. Of course, I like some songs better than others. My major complaint is about receiving the CD's broken. They "ALWAYS" end up being cracked when I get them. For this reason, I'm not buying another CD from Amazon. I gave the item one star because of the condition of the case, not the music itself. I think people should be aware of how stuff arrives. Maybe Amazon will change things.

Third

CD-Charts > Music > Adult Alternative
by: Portishead

Release Date April 29, 2008
Upon my first listen or two of Third, I didn't think it was that much of a progression from their debut, Dummy, nor their self-titled sophomore album. But I've come to realize I was ever so wrong.

The dark, sexy vibe that Portishead pulled off before is now just, well, dark. Extremely eerie, and very sinister. Their music used to sound like something you'd hear in a smoky and dingy underground club at 3 a.m. with others around smoking, talking, and maybe even dancing. Third sounds like something you'd listen to alone in a dark and musty basement of an abandoned building with one hanging light bulb flickering on and off.

There is definitely a Silver Apples influence here, and it makes me salivate. I love the Silver Apples, but Portishead takes ... Read More:
