Fleet Foxes

CD-Charts > Music > Pop
by: Fleet Foxes

Release Date June 03, 2008
Over the years, music critics, (who by their nature have to push something & are always looking to be at the cutting edge and wanting to discover the next big thing), attach themselves to new music that contains several unique ingredients but when the whole product is stirred and readied for listening, something larger like consistent melodies are missing. Fleet Foxes seems to fall into this jar. There are some wonderful harmonic moments, baroque & otherwise, but as a whole this cd leaves only a mediocre taste, and a desire for something more inspiring and listenable.

Trouble in Mind

CD-Charts > Music > Pop
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 ... Read More:

Pacific Ocean Blue - Legacy Edition

CD-Charts > Music > Pop
by: Dennis Wilson

Release Date June 17, 2008
Well finally God Bless his sweet soul, Dennis Wilson is getting the recognition he deserves. What a out poor of feeling from the inner Soul, what a true revealing emotion in every song sung with love, fear, happiness & understanding. There will never be another piece of art music like this...The Wilson's have a special God given talent in there family that no other musician could ever match! Brian, Dennis & Carl are one of a kind and no one will ever come close...God Bless Dennis & Carl both as they are now singing in God's Quire.

Every song is sung with true meaning deep, deep within the soul. Dennis knows how to really make you feel like he does by pooring out his spirt & soul on this album.

I always thought that ... Read More:

Perfectly Clear

CD-Charts > Music > Pop
by: Jewel

Release Date June 03, 2008
Well all right, Jewel most likely decided to do country music this time because of the poor sales of her last cd, 2006's "Goodbye Alice In Wonderland". I have all of Jewel's cds, and I like her talent, but sometimes she's off the mark. "Perfectly Clear" is okay. It's no Patsy Cline, Loretta Lynn, Johnny Cash, Dolly Parton or even Carrie Underwood. A good idea to utilize John Rich (of Big & Rich) to help produce, but the results just kind of lie there.

"Perfectly Clear" is unmoving all the way through. Background music. Average Jewel. A valiant attempt that didn't quite succeed, but also not a complete failure. The songs are pleasant, and they come and go without a second thought. After listening all week, I didn't feel there was a true pop or country hit ... Read More:

One of the Boys

CD-Charts > Music > Pop
by: Katy Perry

Release Date June 17, 2008
I was pleasantly surprized when i first listened to this cd. There is only one song that i didn't love. All the rest are-sing at the top of your lungs while driving-hot! I like her honest lyrics and 80's style beats. I normally don't listen to this kind of pop music but i am thrilled with my purchase on this one!

Flavors Of Entanglement

CD-Charts > Music > Pop
by: Alanis Morissette

Release Date June 10, 2008
It's great to notice that Alanis is back doing great rock music. I love Alanis's two first albums, and this "Flavors..." is a return to that great rock music it used to be. Already the opening track "Citizen of the Planet" tells that this album has to be good! It is so rocking and heavy. Also the radio song "Underneath" is very good! "Straitjacket" and "Version of Violence" are great rocking songs! If I didn't know that this album has been released in 2008, I would think it had been released after "Jagged Little Pill". "Not as We" proves that Alanis can also be very sensitive - it's a very touching song. Although there's many strong songs - I wouldn't say that this album is perfect - the song "Tapes" is the only one I don't like. It is a strange song - a little bit boring. ... Read More:

We Sing, We Dance, We Steal Things

Release Date May 13, 2008
I love this CD. I became a fan last year, hearing his music for the 1st time. This new CD blows me away. It is one of the best I have heard in years. I love many different music genres, but this one beats them all hands down.

Seeing Things

CD-Charts > Music > Pop
by: Jakob Dylan

Release Date June 10, 2008
Seeing Things does NOT hearken back to the days of Bob, but instead clearly plays out poetic visions of today and tomorrow. Jakob & Bob may be similar in style and attitude, but listen, pay attention, hear Jakob's sentiment, and you'll see very clearly that he draws strength from an emotive engine very much his own.

Bob Dylan and Jakob Dylan are two phenomenal singer/songwriters, each standing firmly on his own ground, each deserving of our full attention. I'm an avid listener of both Bob and Jakob's music and simply do not understand why reviewers are reluctant to grand Jakob his own platform.

Don't listen to this album with 3-minute hyper-pop expectations.
Listen to this album with time and quiet to hear the whole thing through.
