Solid Emo-Pop.......2007-07-13

Plain White T's delivers a solid cd of emo & pop-punk tracks. My favorites include "It's Our Time", "Making a Memory", and "Hey There Delilah". The best aspect of this cd, to me, is the perfect "warm-weather drive"-ness. It is an excellent cd for rolling all the windows down and singing along with when you are driving about. Every track has a great sing-along aspect. It has catchy, upbeat songs, and a few slower acoustics. It's a very enjoyable cd, but nothing groundbreaking or remarkable that sets it apart. For the current price ($9.99), there is no harm in picking it up and keeping it in the cd case for those summer days!

such a let down.......2007-07-04

Okay, so I bought this album based on "Hey There Delilah". I know, I know. What can I say? It's a simple, fun little ditty. When I saw it was a "bonus track", I briefly considered the possibility that this is the little lyrical accoustic after-thought to an album full of bland power chords and blander lyrics. Then I said, "No, this'll be good."

Nope. As I desperately sought for another song with some hint of originality or depth (track 12 coming the closest), my girlfriend aptly said, "They sound like a high school band."

Fifteen regrettable dollars lighter, I pause to pontificate on what it is people hear in this kind of bland music. Perhaps it is just the MTV teen girls with their parents' disposable income who think they're cute and really don't care what they're listening to, so long as it's cool. This album is so derivative and bland - both musically and lyrically. Is there some rule that rock artists who break into major formats can't incorporate interesting instruments (violins, digeridoos, flutes, etc...) or drift from repetitive power chords? Are these artists forbidden by market demands to write anything but navel-gazing songs about their own seemingly uninteresting lives? Why can't they look at the world beyond and comment on something that actually matters - war, the environment, greed, whatever? Green Day finally did it and that seemed to work out pretty well for them - grammy wins, record sales, and peer respect.

I don't know - I look at exciting newer artists who are bending the rules of instrumentation, lyrical exploration, and styles like Bright Eyes and Xavier Rudd, and they don't have a tenth of the exposure this band now has. Then, on the other side of the coin, I consider older artists that have maintained a musical and lyrical creativity for decades like Springsteen, Van Morrison, and (though a few decades lighter) Ben Harper. How does music this bland break into the big time when there's so much better work out there struggling to exist? Even outside the music realm, there's an incredible number of really intelligent, creative thinkers pushing the boundaries of human thought, and still this is the drivel that rises to the top. There's either something deeply wrong with the music industry or extremely unspiring embedded in the public to which they cater.

Nothing new.......2007-06-15

This cd is completely average. I'd call it bland, but that seems a bit harsh. They aren't doing anything original with this album. I feel like I've heard all these songs before with other bands/music, and they're relying on too many power chords. It's likable for a few plays, but it's also easily forgettable. It's the complete middle of the road - not exactly bad but not really great either.
And to the guy who said he didn't like it but his girlfriend did... I'm a girl, and I don't find anything special here.

To emoish for a guy like me.......2007-06-07

As said before, this band sounds like another emo band. I liked emo when it was more underground, but for the past years I got to say it has turned out very bad, with every other band trying to copy each other. Plain White T's is an example of that. Though some songs sound great, some other songs just sound boring and not exciting. This album sometimes sound as if the inspiration to make this album was Fall Out Boy, and the Academy is... I am not a big fan of those two bands, and I guess that is why I disliked most of the songs. Also, BEWARE of the powerchords on this album, there are to much in here that just do not make the CD enjoyable to listen too, almost 90% of the songs consists of this.
I rated this cd 4 stars though, cause the chick I go out with likes this album or else I would rate it a 2 [Lucky PWT]. So I am assuming chicks probably like this music, and if you want to get an emo chick [hopefully thats not overweight] then this is the cd you should get. But for a guy's taste, this cd is just weird to be listening while you are hanging out with your friends.
I think I said all I had to say.

Teen titans Aly & AJ don't sound like Heart, the powerhouse sister act whose hall-of-famer footsteps they hope to follow in, but it doesn't feel like an exaggeration to say they have as much talent. With their flowing blond hair, cool clothes, and gift for hitting the hype machine at just the right fame-boosting angles, they could easily carve out a career on somebody else's lyrics and a lame-o delivery. But the sisters Michalka have a lot more integrity than that: If Insomniatic, goes to show the pop-buying world anything, it's that not all youth-targeted acts deserve their featherweight reputations. The title track rocks hard, "Bullseye" borrows a Replacements vibe, and opener "Potential Breakup Song" pumps in pleasingly synth-y rhythms and sweet-heat attitude. Slighter tracks, including "Silence" and "I'm Here," showcase a sympathetic ear for teenage romantic tribulations, but overall Insomniatic is not for the drowsy--Aly & AJ are doing musical No-Doz for a new generation, and they're doing it right.

Excellent Title 4 An Excellent Album!!!.......2007-07-28

I think it's a gr8 new opportunity 4 Michalka Sisters 2 show what they r made of. They surely did an improvement in this new album, and I'm not saying that Into The Rush was a bad record, actually I loved it but I really can't stop listening 2 this one.

This is my rating 4 each of the songs in Insomniatic:

1. Potential BreakUp Song (10/10) It's a catchy single, maybe the best choice 2 get a preview of what this record pretends 2 show. Very powerful lyrics. I listen 2 it over & over again.
2. Bullseye (9.5/10) Cool background music. I'm still listening 2 the chorus in my head. "You hit the bullseye!", however there's something in the song that doesn't fits with me but it's worth listening.
3. Closure (10/10) Love the beginning of the lyrics "Yesterday I spotted at u hanging out with some1 new, come on dude I can't believe who!". The song has one of the best chorus' in the album
4. ÷ (11/10) It used 2 be my personal favourite beacause of the creativity of the lyrics and the great combination of music with words, I can call it a word-play song. I think that a lot of people might feel identified with it.
5. Like It or Leave It (10/10) As well as closure, it has got an excellent chorus which u would like 2 hear all the time. Gr8 song.
6. Like Whoa (10/10) There are a lot of rock/pop sounds inside this track, it's maybe the most commercial song in the album but that doesn't mean that it's sort of a cliché or anything like that. It also has a little bit of listening-at-all-times beats.
7. Insomniatic (8/10) Originial lyrics although the music it's not as gr8 as other tracks in the album, but it's cool after all.
8. Silence (9/10) Slow ballad in the album with very powerful lyrics. Silence is everything.
9. If I Could Have You Back (9.5/10) Strong voices in the song. It's a shame this one results 2 be a cliché. U all had already hear this type of song, however it's cool music.
10. Flattery (16/10) MY PERSONAL FAVORITE!!! THIS SONG IS A GR8 REASON 2 BUY THE ALBUM. THE MIXTURE BETWEEN LYRICS AND MUSIC IS JUST PERFECT! MAYBE PEOPLE WOULDN'T LIKE THE SONG AS THEIR FAVORITE BECAUSE MOST OF THE TIMES I LIKE SONGS THAT ARE NOT ALWAYS THE MOST COMMERCIAL ONES IN AN ALBUM BUT IF U LIKE ALY & AJ, U'LL LOVE THIS ONE!!!
11. I'm Here (9/10) Good ballad. I don't have much 2 say about it.
12. Chemicals React (remix) (9/10) Cool, I din't give a 10 just because it's not very different from the original version.

HOPE U FIND THIS REVIEW HELPFUL, I KNOW I DO, LOL.
IF U LOVE REAL POP, U R GONNA LOVE THIS RECORD!

A Wonderful Sophomore Album.......2007-07-26

I suppose I should state my credentials to start with. To put things in perspective... I am both a music enthusiast and producer. I listen to all genres both popular and not. I also do a great deal of studio work, so I know how to admire a well produced album. Anyway, enough about me, let's review.

In most cases, bubblegum pop has long been completely disregarded by the serious bulk of the music world. No one wants to listen to the lip sink melodies of the Ashley Simpsons of the pop world. Neither do we want to hear the next Britney Spears clone, bringing shallow lyrics and tired hooks to the table over and over again. Even further, let's be honest with ourselves. The majority of radio play now is trash. Mass media music and MTV hype has taken over and there seems to be no end in sight. But this is besides the point, and has been talked about too much already. My fellow music enthusiasts reading this will all agree I'm beating a dead horse.

By late 2005 I had lost most faith in the bubblegum pop genre and its ability to produce catchy yet thoughtful albums. Even breakout artists like Hilary Duff seemed to be careening into pools of market garbage and catering to a seemingly dumber audience than when they started. My doubts we're relieved when I heard a new single from a breakout duo Aly and AJ. After some short research, I recognized the former sister as a minor Disney Channel star. So it warranted little question why they had achieved popularity in the music scene. Curiosity killed the cat and I simply had to buy these two sister's album to see what could be in store. It should be said, my expectations weren't very high. But the duo floored me. What ensued was a well produced, thoughtful, musically sensible, and surprisingly mature pop album. What can I say? The hooks were smart. The songs were uncontrived. Clearly Disney had found a double sided gem. But the question still remained. We're these girls a one shot success at an attempt for Disney to score some quick cash? The absence of Lip Sinking gave promise. I hoped.

Flash forward to 2007. "Potential Breakup Song" is released and I am unimpressed. It was immature, overly poppy, and cheap...like all singles of its kind. Still, I had a feeling the rest of the coming album would be gold. My feeling was right. I picked Insomniatic up immediately, and devoured its contents. The Michalka sisters had struck again.
It's evident from first listen that the duo has obviously grown up a bit. The musical styles have become more diverse since Into The Rush. The instrumentation being more mature, and the lyrics slightly more thought out, being mostly about typical teenage girl problems...being boys. But not to worry. They are sincere. And it shows.

The first track, Potential Breakup song, is a weak cookie cutter single...probably the most contrived and uneventful song on the album. I won't dwell on it however. The later is brilliant.

"Bullseye" is a fast paced rocker reminiscent of a softened John 5 riff. Complete with a catchy chorus. This song does a great job of getting us pumped for the rest of the album. "Closure" is one of the first great songs on Insomniatic. The lyrics remain thoughtful with a backdrop of sad yet upbeat hooks. The song ends with a soothing backwards spoken melody easing us into the next song. "Division" may well be my favorite track off Insomniatic. It retains originality, innovation, fine melody, and great lyrics. Everything about this song is just great. The instrumentation especially is genius. Cuddos to the sessioneers. I can't say enough good things about this track.

"Like it or Leave It" starts the album back up with some fast paced pop-rock fervor. The melodies and beats in this song really have a way of blending against each other to make for a nice overall feeling.

The next three track on the CD could be called filler, but that's not to say they're bad at all. "Like-Whoah" is sure to be an instant radio success. While "Insomniatic" and "Silence" refuse to be picked over by using catchy hooks and ear pleasing melodies. You can't help but admire the consistency here. "If I could Have You Back" takes a turn for the more techno heavy, electronic influenced side of the sisters, sounding half rave, half rock song. Which brings forth another of the album's stellar qualities: genre mixing.

"Blush" suddenly turns the table and opens up a whole new sound for sister Alyson Michalka. The slow but sweet piano crooning along with the lyrics about a secret love proves to be one of the best and most unique tracks on the CD.

Normally this is the part where most albums of this caliber start to lose their luster, but the last 3 tracks go out with a bang.
"Flattery" could well be the best composed song here, with wonderful instrumentation and yet another amazing vocal performance from the sisters. "I'm Here" takes another slow sad turn, but instead proves to be a heart moving ballad with one of the catchiest choruses on the album. The bass line warrants compliment too. Finally, the remix of "Chemicals React" winds up the CD, delivering another version of the already great single. You almost wish it wasn't over.

So why 4 stars? Obviously most everything I've said so far has been resoundingly positive in most respects, which goes to show, there are many great things to be said about this album. It's consistent, innovative, heartfelt, mature, and well produced to say the least. However, while "Insomniatic" does break a lot of original barriers for the pop realm, it isn't exactly reinventing the term. There are of course, a few parts in some songs I felt could have been done slightly better...but those are minor annoyances. I should probably tag this a 4 and 1/2. It really comes close to perfection. I'll be eager to hear more from the sisters in the future.

Why is the song "Blush" not listed on the listed tracks online?.......2007-07-24

Okay, I checked the reviews of all of the songs and Best Buy and Amazon didn't list the track "Blush" on their website so I assumed that it wasn't on it, but it must be on all of them. I was avoiding this one on purpose, but it came with it anyway. I was wrong about this assumption. I still think the CD is good. I just wish they had a version for young girls because there are young fans out there who aren't ready to be blushed yet!

Aly & Aj -- awesome.......2007-07-23

Definatly buy this if your a fan of their music!
I especially love "potential break up song". I am always singing it whereever I am.
"This is the potential break up song. our album needs just one. oh baby pleeasse."
Great for a roadtrip, reccomend it for the younger teeny bopper kids though. VS. older teens..
Erm.. If you just want a new cd, buy it?

No Sophomore Jinx here!.......2007-07-20

Aly & AJ, are one of the best girl trios of all time. They have originality, wit, and most importantly...voices. Their new album Insomniatic, is a greater hit than their 2006 debut Into the Rush. Even though their first album knocked me off of my feet, their new sophomore album is it. With hot tracks like the leading "Potential Breakup Song," "Division," "Like Whoa," and more. This is one you listen to over and over again.

A handful of memorable songs help elevate this otherwise forgettable album.......2007-07-17

My first exposure to Breaking Benjamin was with their mainstream breakthrough hit, "So Cold". I liked the song quite a bit, but since I never heard anything else from the album I liked, I passed on buying "We Are Not Alone", so I'll say up front I have next to no knowledge of the band's previous albums. Upon first hearing the catchy, fast paced "Diary of Jane", it immediately replaced "So Cold" as my favorite song by the band, and I was somewhat interested in their new album, "Phobia". Then "Breath" came out, and though it wasn't as instantly memorable as "Diary of Jane", eventually it grew on me big time, and I again had a new favorite song by the band. So after becoming hooked on the first two singles off of "Phobia", I decided it was time to make my first Breaking Benjamin album purchase. However, after multiple listens of the album, "Breath" and "Diary of Jane" are easily the best songs, and there are only a few others that are worth noting.

The album begins and ends with the pointless "Phobia (Intro)" and "Phobia (Outro)" tracks, and after the "Intro" we are given the two best songs right off the bat, those being the aforementioned first two singles. "The Diary of Jane" is a hook filled heavy rocker, seemingly about a guy desperately trying to get the attention of a girl(Jane), yet "somethings getting in the way". "Breath" is a uniquely arranged song that steadily builds up to its climactic chorus, and is possibly about an unhealthy relationship where both seem to hate the other, yet they can't live without each other.

Moving on, back to back filler tracks "You" and "Evil Angel" quickly bring the album down from the high of its first two songs, with "You" possibly being my least favorite song of the album, and though "Evil Angel" has some intriguing lyrics about just wanting to be put out of one's misery, the song just doesn't stick. Thankfully "Until The End" brings the album a little out of its rut, as a song about perseverance no matter what, its uplifting message definitely stands out against the dark and depressing tone of most of the album. It's one of the lighter songs on here, and it has a memorable chorus. Following this is "Dance With the Devil", my favorite song after "Breath" and "Diary of Jane". This is a very dark and atmospheric song, and I hope this is released as a single.

"Topless" is a heavy rocker with some rather explicit lyrics, this is another song on the album that I do like, and is a good aggressive rock song. Next comes "Here We Are" arguably the only "ballad" on the album. This is a decent song about someone wanting his significant other to put more effort into keeping their relationship alive, but it's fairly generic among all the other rock ballads, and kind of seems like its there just for the sake of having a power ballad. The remaining three songs ("Unknown Soldier", "Had Enough", and "You Fight Me") are all mediocre at best, with "Unknown Soldier" probably being the most memorable of the three.

All in all, if you like current heavy rock, "Phobia" is probably a worthy purchase , due to the fact that there are a few really good tracks to be found, but in the end too much of the album is forgettable for me to really praise it. I'd recommend Three Days Grace "One-X" over "Phobia" for fans of mainstream rock looking for a fairly recent album to buy. As it stands my biggest thing to fear about "Phobia" is that it simply won't have a lot of longevity. 3/5 stars

My Top 5:
1. Breath
2. The Diary of Jane
3. Dance With the Devil
4. Until the End
5. Topless

Took Me By Suprise.......2007-07-13

I ran across a link to stream this album before it's release, and I wasn't a big fan of BB before, but I figured why not? Make my friend jealous I heard it and he didn't, but after listening to it, I fell in love with the cd and I haven't stopped listening.
Intro-
Diary Of Jane- Starts out the album dramatically strong 5/5
Breath- Helps progress the cd into a better sound 5/5
You- A song that's harder to adjust to, but still amazing 4.5/5
Evil Angel- A lyrically brilliant song that shows the brains of Ben 5/5
Until The End- The best song of the cd, and arguabbly of the year 5/5
Dance With The Devil- Another lyrical genius is showing here 5/5
Topless- The worst song on the cd, worth skipping 1/5
Here We Are-A softer song and still brilliant 5/5
Unknown Soldier- Still fighting side by side with a slower song and brilliance 5/5
Had Enough- A song about their former drummer for them, and a song about anyone to us, amazing! 5/5
You Fight Me- One amazing way to end a cd, it makes you beg for more, but there is unfortanetly none 5/5
Outro
Diary of Jane (Acoustic)

The best album of the year...Period!!! This cd is the beginning of this band that will make them evolve into something amazing!

Breaking Benjamin Has Created a Masterpiece.......2007-06-30

Aside from two bad songs(Until the End and Here We Are), this is Breaking Benjamin at their best. Every song on this album other than the 2 previously mentioned could be a hit single. Once you hear this album you won't be able to stop replaying over and over again, it is almost inhuman how great this band is. Includes some of the best songs ever made from THE BEST rock band currently around: Diary of Jane, Breath, You, Dance with the Devil, Topless, Unknown Soldier, You Fight Me. Your life simply is not complete without this album. GO BUY IT NOW!!!!!!

good music.......2007-06-12

can listen to this one over and over again

What happened?.......2007-06-08

Minus one star right off the bat for having a lame intro and outro. Diary of Jane is the only great song on this album. 2 or 3 good songs, and the rest just sounds so generic and uninspired. We Are Not Alone was a great album and so was Saturate. It sounds like the energy was lost in this album. I'm not counting the band out yet, but if you want your BB fix stick with the first two albums.

In the most dignified way possible, "Dignity"--the title track to this fizz-bomb of a dance-pop disc--sends a disgusted eye-roll and a flagrant puh-lease to underwear-eschewing celebutantes everywhere: "You'd show up to the opening of an envelope," sings Duff, who hangs onto her signature sweetness despite having entered full-on diss mode. "It's not news when you've got a new bag/It's not news when you're looking your best/Come on, give it a rest." Well said. And sung. Not that calling out the phony and the full of it is what Duff, or Dignity, is all about. Mostly, the disc is a beat-studded chronicling of an incredibly healthy 19-year-old psyche: On "Happy," she's happy despite an ex's attempts to make her miserable; on "With Love"--maybe her catchiest, most grown-up song to date--she's willing to accept rejection as long as kindness plays a role in its delivery. Musically, with the help of groove-conscious producers like Tim & Bob and Will.i.am, Duff edges ever closer to adult sensibilities; her goofball Lizzie McGuire days seem far behind. It's an evolution anybody could have seen coming, actually. Has there ever been a starlet with her head on straighter? --Tammy La Gorce

This disc is an interesting mixing of paces that very guessed right his title give a Dignity different from the interpretacion and his musical identity like it we know in his previous presentations.
Este disco es una interesante mezcla de ritmos que muy acertado su titulo dan una Dignidad distinta a las interpretacion y su identidad musical como la conocemos en sus anteriores presentaciones.

SOUNDS LIKE GWEN STEFANI!.......2007-07-16

I sorta disliked Hilary Duff, being a young singer myself... I believed she had no talent.
However, I believe she'll improve vocally with age. This CD reminds me a lot of Gwen's CD, LOVE ANGEL MUSIC BABY!

I think this CD is a great! Hilary has learned to harmonize better as well as find her own style. I really like some of the beats esp, "Stranger."

Her music video is also... AWESOME. I DIG IT. YOU SHOULD TO!

With this album, I have more respect for Hilary Duff.

Great CD, Uplifting message.......2007-07-11

I read somewhere that this was her fourth disc, I had never listened to an entire cd by her before, but the title got my attention, and it is the theme for the whole album, there are no out of place tracks here, she helps you to think, and makes the tracks electronic, which I can work out to on the treadmill, but I must say the standout song on this cd is No Work All Play, she sounds wise beyond her years, expressing that life is about more than just having a good time, having balance and getting to know yourself is more important. She encourages the listener to keep trying, even when it is difficult at times, the journey will help a person gain wisdom and grow stronger. Thank you Ms. Duff, it was an encouraging ride

THE BEST OF ALL OF THEM!.......2007-07-09

i love all of hilary's cds, but this one is my favorite! my favorite songs are "dignity", "with love", "gypsy woman", and "happy". all the songs are great, but those are the best. "dignity" automaticly made me think of paris hilton (who i think is a spoiled brat) and "happy" is the song i would assoiate with a break up to say that you are so over the guy. it's words are like she's talking to someone (most likely Joel) "i'm happy and i know that makes you mad/after all the things you put me through/i'm finally gettin' over you. it's an over all great album and i would highly recomend it for hilary fans and first time listeners of all ages!

This soundtrack to the hit TV series starts off with a melancholy ballad by Denver's the Fray (fittingly titled "How to Save a Life"), but the well-curated CD isn't all thoughtful adult alt-rock--reflecting the series' mood changes, it offers a wide range of modern sounds. In addition to the expected acoustical numbers (in this case, from Anya Marina, KT Tunstall, and Snow Patrol's live version of "Chasing Cars"), the album reaches across genres and continents to offer the sunny-'60s-pop vibe of Jim Noir's "I Me You," Jamie Lidell's electro-jazzy "Multiply," the edgy punky-pop aggro of Metric, the rambunctious "Sexy Mistake" from the Chalets, and the winning singalong misanthropy of singer-songwriter Foy Vance's "I Hate Everyone." Ursula 1000's Alex Gimeno lightens up the proceedings with one of his trademark upbeat, hip-gyrating numbers (which seems to pay tribute to Serge Gainsbourg's "Comic Strip"), while the Moonbabies' sweet, swirling harmonies deliver the kind of perfectly crafted pop we've come to expect from the Swedes. If this compilation turns people on to these deserving acts, it will have done its job. --Elisabeth Vincentelli

Customer Reviews:

great cd.......2007-07-19

I love when I am watching the show and I start to bob to the music in the background. I always wonder who sings the songs. This cd is perfect not just for a Grey's fan but a music fan as well. There is no worry of language, you can play it around kids. I really love this cd.

GREY'S SOUNDTRACK CD.....A WINNER.......2007-06-27

Like anything associated with this great show, Volume 2 of the Grey's Anatomy Soundtrack is great. But not as great as listening to the music while watching the show simultaneously, I'm afraid. The music is unique, creative and non-trendy. All pluses. Unfortunately, the soundtrack CD's of Grey's Anatomy do not contain pop-up images of Drs. Shepherd, Blake and Karev! ):

not at all what I hoped.......2007-06-25

My wife and I are big fans of Grey's and the music we hear on the show. I dont know if the cd just doesnt fit without the show in the foreground, but we both were very disappointed at this CD.

Great Selection of Artists.......2007-05-15

The music complimented the show, but can truly stand on its own merits. I felt the same way about the Touched By An Angel soundtracks too.

Grey's Anatomy, Vol. 2 was all I hoped for.......2007-05-13

There are some songs on this album that I play over and over. The Fray's "How to Save a Life", Gomez's "How We Operate", Snow Patrol's "Chasing Cars". I knew I wanted those. There were surprise faves too, like Jamie Lidell and The Moonbabies. All the moody stuff that underlies the heartbreak scenes, as well as the quirky,upbeat songs that make the show watchable. I'll probably end up buying Vol. 1 and whatever comes next.

Queen brought a whole new meaning to the phrase over the top. While rock & roll flamboyance stretched back at least as far as Little Richard, Freddie Mercury continued to camp it up, taking little seriously and smirking at the music's growing pretensions while partaking in them no small bit. Many of the band's singles hold up extremely well, later tracks such as "Hammer to Fall" as much as prime-era numbers such as "Bohemian Rhapsody," "Killer Queen," and "You're My Best Friend." The quartet's canny sense of melody and sophisticated vocal harmonies--not to mention Mercury's raised eyebrow--have traveled well through the years. --Rickey Wright

Great Memories.......2007-07-20

This 2 cd set is a great sound of their best songs.The lyrics are written with a message for the listener.You will have a great experience just listening to the wonderful sound that you will hear

Interested in early Queen?.......2007-07-18

FYI - if it's early Queen you're interested in - you know, stuff before that lemon of an album "Bicycle Races" - I strongly urge you to buy the original albums (starting with "A Day at the Races").

Queen Greatest Hits.......2007-07-16

I really started to like Queen recently. Bohemian rhapsody is such a great song and really gets you moving. My husband likes running to this music. I am still getting used to some of the other songs, but I really like this CD. Whenever I listen to We Are the Champions, I think of the episode of Cheers when all of the bar boys pounded on the bar to this song. It's fun. As always, Amazon seems to have the best prices. I don't have to pay shipping or tax and save an additional dollar or two on top of that.

Holy Moleee Canoli! Camooosh this is a piece of GOLD.......2007-05-23

This creation is one remarkable piece of history! I'm so thankful I got it, and for such a nice price you get almost 40 songs! With their incorporation of piano and Freddie Mercury's voice, and their guitarist- this thing just blows out your ears in amazement. I had heard so many of these songs on the radio, but who knew they did all of them? Bicycle Race first annoyed me with so much repitition, but with my love for bike-riding, it's become a motto for me to. Killer Queen is just WOWZERs... so sexy and loaded. And there's tons more, but I'll save those as super surpise you'll be glad you got!

Best Double Box Set Ever.......2007-05-09

What can I say?!!?
Queen was the best - the songs are brilliant and theatrical.
Freddy M. will be forever one of the best performers - EVER.

Thanks for the greatest box set at the greatest price, Amazon!

It's always a pleasant surprise when a soundtrack contains an interesting collection of under-heard or under-appreciated tunes, but it's to be expected from Grey's Anatomy--a TV show that is packed with sharp dialogue, honest characters, and wall-to-wall good music. The head-bobbing starts immediately when the Postal Service opens things up "Such Great Heights," a crafty track that will provide indie rock fans who still love the Pet Shop Boys their guilty fix. A few songs in, the cleverness continues with the dysfunctional-woman anthem "Portions for Foxes" by L.A.'s Rilo Kiley, a tune that will have you quoting sharp lyrics to Desperate girlfirends for days. Other must-have music includes Mike Doughty (former lead singer of Soul Coughing) with "Looking At The World From The Bottom Of A Well," and the gorgeous Bjork-meets-Cat-Power stylings of Inara George on the lucious "Fools In Love." The disc highlight (from a talented vocalist named Roisin Murphy) is the sassy "Ruby Blue"--the kind of Macy Gray-funk that makes you want to see her live, immediately. As an added bonus, the liner notes have a wonderful mini-essay by two of the executive producers, providing an enjoyable description of the show's attention to detail, and the cast and crew's deep love of music. --Denise Sheppard

Album Description

The "Grey's Anatomy" soundtrack features an eclectic mix of indie pop and rock artists whose music was heard during the first season of Grey's Anatomy--a wildly popular ABC drama about surgical interns in Seattle.
The soundtrack features electrifying music from such beloved indie artists as Rilo Kiley, The Postal Service, Ben Lee, and Medeski, Martin & Wood, as well as undiscovered talent such as London-based electropop duo Psapp, who supply the show's main title song "Cosy in the Rocket."
The album's tracks, many of which can be heard during key emotional scenes in various episodes, were chosen by the show's creator and executive producer, Shonda Rhimes and executive producer Betsy Beers, from a large pool of artists introduced to them by music supervisor Alex Patsavas, who is also the music supervisor of Fox's The O.C.. "We fall in love with the songs," says Rhimes. "We ride around listening to them in our cars. We call each other to talk about them on the phone. We get them into our heads and into our souls. And then we weave them into the show because we can't live without them."

Customer Reviews:

great cd.......2007-07-19

I really love this tv show and love the music even more. It gives you something to jam to in the car on those long drives. It kind of reminds me of the mix tapes I used to make in high school, it just flows.

wow.......2007-05-28

Whoever picks the music for Grey's Anatomy is great at their job. Listening to the soundtrack brings back the moments from the show the songs were used during. This soundtrack has a great selection of the songs, too. Many other soundtracks have trouble picking from a wide selection of songs, and sometimes leave out the best ones. That's not a problem here.

Great Selection of Music.......2007-05-15

The music complimented the show, but can truly stand on its own merits. I felt the same way about the Touched By An Angel soundtracks too.

GOOD!.......2007-05-14

Not as good as Volume 2! But still enjoyable. Looking forward to Volume 3!

Waiting room music..........2007-05-08

I admit, I've never seen "Grey's Anatomy" -- "House" is all the hospital stuff I can handle. My tastes run more towards eccentric comedy and surreal drama, anyway.

But I cannot fault the makers of this show for the music they select, a mingling of mellow rock and shimmering indiepop. A bunch of glorious lesser-known bands -- Psapp, the Ditty Bops, Maria Taylor -- get to take the spotlight in the first volume, and they generally complement each other beautifully.

It opens on a high note -- the Postal Service's fuzzy, intimate little trip-hop song, with the enchanting lyrics, "I am thinking it's a sign/That the freckles in our eyes/Are mirror images and when we kiss/They're perfectly aligned... And when you scan the radio/I hope this song will guide you home..."

They follow it up with some other indie gems: Roisin Murphy's thumpy trippy funk, Maria Taylor's shimmering, swirling "not a love song," Tegan & Sara's prickly guitar pop, Inara George's mellow Mazzy-Starrish ballad, and the Ditty Bops' sprightly little alt-country with pleasant harmonies.

And there's rockier numbers as well -- the Radio's swirling guitars, Ben Lee's mellotron folk, and Martin Medeski's brooding party rocker. And finally, there's the most electronic song on here -- Psapp's exquisitely twinkly "Cosy in a Rocket," which sounds like a music box in a science fiction flick.

It's been chic for a few years to have lots of indie rock and pop in soundtracks, especially if you can work them into a hit TV show's soundtrack. "Grey's Anatomy" is one of those shows, and even people who've never seen the show can appreciate the musical taste of whoever comes up with these things.

Granted, not every song is great -- personally, Ben Lee's "Catch My Disease" felt like a weird fit. But the majority of them are excellent pieces of work -- chilly sparkling trip-pop, sinewy guitar pop, and combinations of the two. Most of them are pretty peppy, but occasionally (Inara George) you get something mellow and relaxing.

And those swirling guitars are flavoured with little bits of keyboard, handclaps (Roisin Murphy), piano, banjo (Ditty Bops) and driving bass. The vocals are usually quite good as well -- harmonized croons, boyish odes, ringing girls' voices, bluesy growls, and yowls of "oh look what you do/oh ruby blue!" The best would have to be Maria Taylor, whose full-bodied voice is as ethereal and elusive as a winter breeze.

The first "Grey's Anatomy" soundtrack is not just a good introduction to some great artists, but a beautiful collection of solid rock and pop songs. Definitely a good buy -- even if you don't watch the show.

Queen Greatest hits.......2007-07-12

This CD is is great especially if you are a Queen fan. It truly is a collection Of their greatest hits.

Queen is Amazing!.......2007-05-23

This CD was my first exposure to Queen. As is evident on this album, this band is absolutely overflowing with talent. Freddie Mercury is a genius, singing his heart out on every single one of these tracks. It's hard to pick and choose, but I would have to say that the standout tracks for me are:

"Somebody to Love": A huge, sprawling song with absolutely mesmorizing vocals from Freddie Mercury and amazing harmonies.
"Fat Bottom Girls": A classic hard rock tune with gorgeous harmonies and great guitar lines.
"You're My Best Friend": A smooth, cool, beautiful, and underrated love song.
"Seven Seas of Rhye": I love the piano on this song, and the classic hard rock feel.
"Don't Stop Me Now": A classic adrenaline-rush of a song.

I love this CD. You should get it if you like Queen. It's very cohesive. And if you don't really know Queen that well, it's a great sampler of their music. There is one problem. "Bohemian Rhapsody" is my favorite Queen song, and its absence on this album irks me quite a bit. That being said, I would download it individually before I would actually buy another album with it.

THE QUEEN LEGEND CONTINUES WITH VOLUME II. PART 2 OF 2........2007-05-09

Before I begin my review, I would like to invite everyone that are hardcore diehard Rock n' Roll fans to read the website that Kevin Johns and I have set up for all of you. It is called "FOREVER IN ROCK, THE JOHN LOPEZ REVIEWS WRAP UP." Just log in www foreverinrock blogspot com/. I deeply hope that all of you will read it, take part in it and display what your true musical needs and tastes are. I hope to hear from all of you soon. Forever in Rock, John L.

I will be writing a review on the legendary compilation album entitled "QUEEN - GREATEST HITS - VOLUME II" by one of Rock's all-time greatest bands ever. I give you one of England's pride and joy's and one of Britain's favorite sons, Q-U-E-E-N! "QUEEN - GREATEST HITS - VOLUME II" was originally released in 1992 on Compact Disc on the Hollywood Records label which is distributed by Elektra Entertainment, a division of Warner Communications Inc. This review is Part 2 of 2. As always, if I hear any new additional information concerning this legendary compilation album or the artist, I will edit this review immediately so that you the consumer will get the overall best informative and most accurate review possible.

QUEEN will forever go down in Rock n' Roll history and be remembered for writing and recording some of Rock's most legendary all-time greatest sacred classic anthems ever. QUEEN will also be remembered for delivering one of Rock's most flamboyant and charismatic lead singer's / frontmen ever. Of course I'm speaking of the late great Farrokh Bulsara, also known the world over as Freddie Mercury. When Mercury met up and joined forces with rhythm and lead guitarist Brian May, bassist John Deacon and drummer Roger Taylor, the stage was set and QUEEN would set out to conquer the world. QUENN would write and record many great albums and hit songs throughout the band's whole entire career to highly critically acclaim. Like volume I, "QUEEN - GREATEST HITS - VOLUME II" would be the result of the many great hit songs that QUEEN would record throughout their entire career. Also like volume I, the album, "QUEEN - GREATEST HITS - VOLUME II" would also serve as proof, of one of the many great contributions, accomplishments and achievements that QUEEN would give to Rock n' Roll. Also without a doubt, in my opinion, like volume I, "QUEEN - GREATEST HITS - VOLUME II" also stands as a true testament of the sheer genius and musical creativity of four extremely talented individuals. "QUEEN - GREATEST HITS - VOLUME II" is also a fine fitting tribute to a great legendary band that was truly indeed, far ahead of their time.

It is now time to let the Rock n' Roll music of QUEEN to speak for itself and back it up by doing all of the talking musically. "QUEEN - GREATEST HITS - VOLUME II" from 1992 picks up right where VOLUME I left off and begins with the forever slow blistering QUEEN trademark Rock anthem that could be heard in stadiums during sports events the world over, "We Will Rock You," this slow Rocker will then develop into the beautifully slow hard Rock anthem "We Are The Champions," the merciless killer Rocker "Another One Bites The Dust," the forever Opera hard Rocker "Killer Queen," one of the most beautiful slow Rock anthems ever, "Somebody To Love," the hard Rock anthem for beautiful overweight women the world over, "Fat Bottom Girls," the amazing Opera Rock anthem "Bicycle Race," the forever beautifully slow QUEEN trademark Rock anthem "You're My Best Friend," the forever 50's like Rock anthem that would have made ELVIS PRESLEY proud, "Crazy Little Thing Called Love," (READY FREDDIE!) the breathtaking a*s kicking hard Rocker "Now I'm Here," the mysterious groundbreaking special effects Rock anthem with an incredible falsetto voice arrangement by Freddie Mercury, "Play The Game," the fantastc killer hard Rocker "Seven Seas Of Rhye," the forever bass pumping synthesized Rocker "Body Language," the beautifully slow electric acoustic Rocker "Save Me," the fast paced and energetic hard Rocker "Don't Stop Me Now," the incredible Opera Rocker "Good Old Fashioned Lover Boy" and the forever danceable synthesized Rocker "I Want To Break Free." Again, like VOLUME I, may I also add that the blistering lead vocals and breathtaking falsetto vocal arrangements by Freddie Mercury was PERFECT and on the mark while laying down the tracks for all of these legendary hit songs. I would also like to commend Brian May for his merciless guitar riffs and licks throughout all of the recordings of these legendary hit songs. I would also like to commend QUEEN'S legendary rhythm section comprising of bassist John Deacon and drummer Roger Taylor. Their combined perfect harmony sound effort contributed in elevating both Freddie Mercury's blistering lead vocals and Brian May's merciless guitar arrangements to another level unimagined by anyone.

Overall, this is one hell of a compilation album worth checking out and seeking further research and information into especially if you are a hardcore diehard QUEEN fan or a devout music collector. As for all of the curious newcomers and new beginners that are not quite familiar with the sound and music of QUEEN, along with VOLUME I, this is not a bad compilation album or two volume album collection to start off with. Either way you choose, you will have taken a giant step in owning and starting your very own personal QUEEN music collection. You can do all of your researching and album purchases either on Amazon com or at your nearest local Borders Books and Music store. If you ever get a chance, buy both volume albums, you'll be happy and satisfied that you did.

Like VOLUME I, I would like to highly recommend purchasing this legendary compilation album(s) to own as a valuable and important part of his or her own personal music collection. Without a doubt, this legendary treasure album(s) has already proven to stand the test of time and will always be around to be enjoyed, appreciated and cherished for many years to come, NOW AND FOREVER. This is one great priceles gem that no hardcore music fan or devout music collector would want to be without.

In closing, Freddie Mercury's untimely death on 24 November 1991 would close the book on one of Rock's greatest chapters and one of Rock's all-time greatest bands ever. OR SO IT SEEMED. The QUEEN legend and legacy is far from being over. As we speak, QUEEN has been touring with former FREE'S, BAD COMPANY'S and THE FIRM'S lead singer and frontman Paul Rodgers to highly critically acclaim. In my opinion, despite Freddie Mercury being irreplaceable, QUEEN'S only chance of carrying on with someone else that is close to Freddie Mercury's talent is with none other than George Michael. When I heard George Michael sing with QUEEN on stage at the Freddie Mercury tribute concert, Michael is the only lead singer and frontman alive today that is capable of filling in the empty shoes left vacant by the late great Freddie Mercury. I'm really surprised that QUEEN didn't snatch up George Michael right away. I HOPE QUEEN IS READING THIS! As years have gone by, the contributions, accomplishments and achievements that QUEEN has made throughout Rock n' Roll history speaks for itself. In 2001, QUEEN would meet their date with destiny by receiving the highest ultimate honor possible, by being inducted as members of the Rock n' Roll Hall of Fame. With this in mind, QUEEN will forever leave their place and mark in Rock n' Roll history and will never be forgotten. There will also be new stories in the QUEEN legend and legacy that will still need to be told and written. But that, my fellow readers and reviewers, you will just have to stay tuned and glued to your computer and read further more about it at a later date in the near future. So here's to you late great Freddie, Brian, John, Roger and yes, you too Paul and George. Thanks for the many great memories. Keep The faith. And as the saying goes, "AND THE REST IS ROCK N' ROLL HISTORY," need I say more or am I wrong? FREDDIE MERCURY LIVES! Thanks for reading my review and I truly hope that you have enjoyed reading it as much as I have truly enjoyed writing it for your reading pleasure. I also deeply hope that all of you will read all of my other reviews in the near future when time permits. QUEEN FOREVER! R.I.P. FARROKH BULSARA A.K.A. FREDDIE MERCURY, Born 5 September 1946, Died 24 November 1991 at age 45. Long Live Rock n' Roll. Rock out always and take it easy. Forever in Rock, John L.

Genre Bender's Greatest Hits.......2007-03-03

Although it lacks a few of their best songs, Queen's "Greatest Hits" is a nice starting point for anyone who remembers the band from their glory days and for those just beginning this royal rock journey. I think that few people would argue the point that Freddie Mercury truly had one of the best voices around. He could meld it to any of a number of genres of music and that's well-evidenced on this album. From the anthemic "We Will Rock You" to the rockabilly "Crazy Little Thing Called Love," to the groovy, urban stylings of "Another One Bites The Dust," Mercury and the boys constantly crossed genre lines.

Highlights including those previously mentioned are "I Want To Break Free," "Save Me", "Killer Queen," "Somebody To Love," and the wonderfully strange "Body Language." My personal favorite is "Fat-Bottomed Girls."

Fans of arena rock bands like Styx and Foreigner will surely enjoy Queen, although Queen is on an entirely different level than those bands. They are classic rock royalty and I highly recommend you snag "Classic Queen" to get a more complete understanding of Queen's broad-reaching style of music.

Highly recommended.

The medically minded Scrubs is an eccentric affair, populated by a zany cast of residents saving lives while learning life's little lessons in the process. Though lacking the show's oddball humor, its soundtrack is undeniably earnest, with a rich understanding of the pleasures and hardships faced by the hospital workers. The show's theme song, Lazlo Bane's quirky banjo twanger, sighs "I'm no Superman," as an uncharacteristically subdued Guided by Voices track cautions to "Hold on Hope." Ex-Men at Work frontman Colin Hay lends his sage advice with acoustic renditions of "Beautiful World" and the chestnut "Overkill," while Eels' "Fresh Feeling" begins with a tuning orchestra and turns into a tripping beatfest. The highlights, though, belong to Francis Dunnery, sounding uncannily like Peter Gabriel on the high-tea string elegance of "Good Life," and the Shins, with "New Slang," a humble campfire song. Puttering along pleasantly, Scrubs, while a little bland, is nevertheless a life-affirming collection that's as hopeful as the aspiring young doctors on the show. --Annie Zaleski

If you love the show..........2007-06-21

Then you'll feel no different about these songs. Perfect for any mood your in.

love for scrubs.......2007-06-11

I haven't heard of many of these artists- but who cares. If you liked the Garden State soundtrack you'll enjoy the Scrubs soundtrack as well.

New Slang.......2007-05-03

This CD will get 3 stars because of the inclusion of the songs by the Shins, eels, Guided by Voices and Hallelujah by John Cale. The rest is fine, but not super.

The BEST Soundtrack associated with Zach Braff!!!.......2007-04-15

This soundtrack is amazing!! Which if you know Scrubs then you know that it's a great show with great music. In my opinion you can't just talk about one of these songs because all of them are incredible. I've had this CD for months now and i still find myself listening to it at least once a day. Each song brings you back to some of the shows most memorable moments.Music is staple on Scrubs and it continues to be, so if you love and appreciate music, then this soundtrack is a must have!!!

A must have .......2007-03-31

After watching every episode of SCRUBS (and then reruns), I knew I loved the quirky music it played. This CD compiles some of the best known and most popular tunes from the show.

Of course, Superman, the theme song is number one on the disc. I'm pleased with the variety of songs on this compilation. Fast, slow, and in between.

The Shins are a favorite group, as well.

If you want a good CD for traveling or cleaning house (boring!) try this one. It'll lift your mood.
