For parents, listening to Dan Zanes provides not only instant Raffi relief, but also the warm sense of belonging to the right crowd. On each disc he trots out a posse of cool friends like Sheryl Crow, Suzanne Vega, and Lou Reed and he delivers his openhearted lyrics with the rare roots-rocker's gift for stirring grace into grit. It would seem that the release of his fourth record, House Party would be ripe for a backlash--how long can the hokey conceit of a bunch of aging groovsters banging out kids' tunes in a Brooklyn basement hang onto its charm? Looks like we'll have to wait and see, because House Party rages on with the same winning, welcome-to-our-homespun-revolution vibe as its predecessors. Deborah Harry takes a twirl on "Waltzing Matilda," Bob Weir fires up the "Wabash Cannonball," and Angelique Kidjo bids "Jamaica Farewell," but the Zanes originals are this record's proving grounds, and they pin the tail on the donkey with bulls-eye precision. Contributions from returning regulars Barbara Brousal and Rankin' Don--the best couple of favors a party could hope for--send Zanes' campaign to become the guy who turned lampshade-wearing into a kindergarten fashion craze soaring. --Tammy La Gorce

GREAT! Brings back lots of Memories.......2007-07-27

I purchased this CD for my baby and she and I love it! She loves the tunes and the songs bring back memories from my childhood. I would highly recommend this CD. It's fun and will have you singing along.

Great fun.......2007-07-25

My daughter loves this cd and it's grown on me too. She and I dance a lot to this. One favorite is the "Wabash Cannonball" and "Waltzing Matilda" with Debbie Harry is fantastic.

Dan's first album...Wiggle the Wiggles out of your CD Player.......2007-06-12

You may have seen Dan on various spots on Sesame Street, I first saw him in his yellow suit, singing Jump Up. This album continues the wonderful music that my daughter has turned my wife and my self on to. The beats are there, and the lyrics are very catchy.

So do yourself a favor, swap out Wiggles or Barney for Dan and his Friends, and enjoy kids music once again.

Thank goodness for Dan Zanes!!!!!!.......2007-05-21

Mr. Zanes, you could not have come along at a better time! In a market where Teletubbies, Barney and the Wiggles seem to have the corner, this parent-friendly album is a welcome relief from all the fruit salad/I love you, you love me/lemondrops and gumdrops drivel that permeate my mushy stay-at-home mom brain!

When I was a single college gal, I remember listening to very hip, fun music. Then came pregnancy and babies. Then Baby Einstein music (which is good, but sounds like someone's ballerina jewelry box after awhile), Barney, Sesame Street and nursery rhyme CDs that took over my music collection. Ack!!! What happened to me? I decided it was time to search for something new for me and the kids to listen to.

After finding this CD and loving it, I just assumed that my one-year-old and four-year-old would not like DZ because it sounded too different from what they were used to. Boy, was I wrong! My older one thinks she is listening to "cool music" -- which she is! We especially like the "Wabash Cannonball" but every song on here is a hit with my kids. The guy is truly talented, and it's just great stuff. And it's fun to hear the celeb singers on a kid's album. Finally, we all have "cool music" to listen to!

My daughters favorite!.......2007-05-14

I bought this CD since Dan Zane is on the Disney Channel. My daughter absolutely loves it! She asks to hear "House Party" all day every day. We dance and sing and it has brought a lot of fun into our house.

His band Jane's Addiction helped grease the alternative-rock skids as the '80s hit the '90s, and Perry Farrell--pushing 50--now aims for a new decade and another century. The ethereal artist's revelry of contributors to his latest project includes one-named artists Flea and Fergie, Peter Hook (ex-New Order), and a creepy posthumous appearance by Jim Morrison. That's right: leave it to Farrell, creator of rock festival Lollapalooza and some of his genre's most impulsive music, to dust off the Lizard King, whose healthy vocal slinks and slides beneath the baiting, rhythmic lyric "Just try and stop us/We're going to love" (complete with a Ray Manzarek-like organ riff at the bridge). The novelty of "Woman in the Window" will undoubtedly generate the most attention. But Farrell's Satellite Party leaves plenty more on the table, channeling the punk-and-metal command of Jane ("Kinky," "Insanity Rains") with some of the pop sparkle of his Porno for Pyros ("Hard Life Easy," "The Solutionists"), while tossing in a couple of choice covers to boot: Rare Earth's "Just Wanna Celebrate" and the Bee Gees' "Lonely Days," recast as "Mr. Sunshine." --Scott Holter

Other versions of his songs........2007-07-28

A great and upbeat album, however three of the songs I have already heard in different forms on other albums. I wish all the songs were new, but I can understand Perry thinking that not everyone may have heard the songs.

"Wish Upon a Dogstar" is known as "Dogstar" on Hybrid's "I Choose Noise" album. Minus the guitars and a much more electronic sound. I actually prefer Hybrid's version.

"Kinky" is almost identical to "Dreamstalker," also on Hybrid's "I Choose Noise" album. Minus the vocals and guitars.

"The Solutionists" is yet another version of a song previously released as "Revolution Solution" by Thievery Corporation, featuring the vocals of Farrell. The Thievery Corporation version doesn't have as many sound layers to it, but is much more middle eastern sounding.

Great party album and amazing live band!.......2007-07-17

wow. I wasn't too exposed to Jane's addiction or Nuno's stuff...so my fairly unbias opinion is that this is a really good party album!

The tunes are mostly groovy and definitely grow on you. Admittedly, the thought of Jim Morrison's voice on a song sounded way weird to me, but I love that song! Ton's of other guests too.

SP is a great live act also! I am super excited to see them several times over the next three months as they are on tour with a band (that I probably like even more :-X) called MINK. Mink is another electric live band that really is great party music, but with a little more rock edge than SP. Two great bands touring for three months, do yourself a favor and see them (Mink's self titled debut comes out late August, don't miss out).

Five stars for satellite party's debut.

Don't think Jane's Addiction!.......2007-07-10

I'll start by saying I'm a huge Perry Farrell fan. I'm into his work with Jane's Addiction the most (I think the live, self-titled album is their greatest work). Satellite Party- Ultra Payloaded is definately upbeat and funky throughout- but I prefer the Perry Farrell that can be upbeat and funky as well as racy, deep and cutting edge. You don't get that side of his art in the lyrics on this album. "Wish Upon A Dog Star" is an obvious hit single attempt- all hooks, no substance. Perry is an incredibly talented writer and it saddens me to say his writing seems to have taken a step back on this album- the lyrics are under-developed and sing-song. Possibly some influence from Nuno (Extreme) may have caused the music on this album to be a lot "lighter" than what fans of Perry's music are really craving. There is some interesting guitar and bass work on the album, but nothing mind-blowing. The album is mediocre to good- better than that local band your sister raves about, not NEAR the calibur of Jane's Addiction or even Porno For Pyros. All that said, I have full faith that I will enjoy the material from this album a heck of a lot more when I see it performed live- Perry's just that great of a performer!

begining of something .......2007-06-20

i hope this marks the begining of a new avenue for perry ...this sound could provide a rich texture much like janes did for all of us years ago . this a good cd more like 3 1/2 stars but not a 3 . not a waste of money . good house party tracks on here as well as some good stuff to add to your playlist . i would recommend it , great summer music....not angry like janes was ...but that fit the time much like this does...

This is a fun album.....and Nuno plays on it!.......2007-06-14

Perry Farrell has created a fun album of funky tunes that make you want to dance. He's supported by a good group of musicians who help him bring the songs to life. Most notable of these musicians is one of the most awesome guitar players the world has ever known - Nuno Bettencourt! Nuno also helped with production duties, clearly helping to give the songs that funky groove he's well known for and adding a few great guitar riffs and solos here and there to spice things up. It's safe to say that this album is not groundbreaking in any way but it certainly offers you some good sounds and fun grooves to help liven up your next party. Favourite songs include the groovy "Wish Upon a Dogstar" and "Celebrate" which has a bit of an Extreme (Nuno's former band) influence to it and the nice mid-album ballad "Awesome". Play it loud and have some fun!

They call it "hood rock," but with their debut album, Atlanta's Shop Boyz accomplish something keener than that phrase suggests. With Rockstar Mentality, former mechanics Rasheed "Sheed" Hightower and cousins Demetrius "Meany" Hardin and Richard "Fat" Stephens have coalesced their image as succinctly as any hip-hop group in recent memory. Lead single "Party Like a Rockstar" eclipsed all previous speed records for digital music distribution, capped by the sale of a million ringtones in the track's first six weeks, and though the album's only real "rock" is the committed use of live guitar throughout, these songs nevertheless pay vocal tribute to rock stardom at every opportunity. The title track forces the issue most obviously; "Rollin'"--the Boyz' professed favorite--motors forth on a bass hook pulled right out of the Beach Boys; and "My Car" keeps pace with yet another deeply thumping ode to the joys of automobile ownership. Make no mistake, from the first shout-out of their native "Bowen Homes" to the unrelenting battery of uninspiring rhymes, Rockstar Mentality is urban-radio-ready hip-hop through and through, but the trio's savvy self-image might just corral enough rock-n'-roll, grease-monkey cred to elevate the Shop Boyz' from mentality to reality. --Jason Kirk

Album Description

It all happened so quickly. Or so it seems. One day Sheed, Meany and Fat were grease monkeys at a makeshift garage in their Bowen Homes neighborhood, the next they were swiftly-rising hip-hop stars, progenitors of a growing musical movement they call ``hood rock.'

But like most overnight successes, Shop Boyz's rise to fame took many years. Cousins Demetrius "Meany" Hardin and Richard "Fat" Stephens grew up with best friend Rasheed "Sheed" Hightower in the notorious Bankhead area of Atlanta, the stomping ground of some of the city's most successful hip-hop artists. They worked on cars, hustled, did whatever they could to make ends meet and when their work was done for the day, they turned to their true passion: making music. Their unique, groundbreaking style didn't go unnoticed.

Within four months of its release, "Party Like A Rockstar" set off a frenzy of activity at radio and clubs throughout the southeast and spread like wildfire across the country. The electrifying song with its contagious hook appeals to the spirited, carefree rocker in all of us - from school children and working class dads to hard-core hip-hoppers and blue-haired, Mohawk-wearing Punk Rockers. From note one, excited fans begin strumming air guitars, crowd surfing and building mosh pits that rival those of any major rock concert.

It was the perfect introduction to their unique brand of music. As for their definition of the newly-created sub-genre known as `hood rock, Sheed says, "It's got energy and a rock feel to it but at the same time it's all about rocking the club, getting the club charged up.

Shop Boyz's debut CD, "Rock Star Mentality," is a sampling of the creativity and diversity that go into each and every song that this creative collective churns out. Whether they're flossing and having fun on a track like "My Car" or showing respect for their ladies on "She Knows," Shop Boyz tell new stories in new and exciting ways. "Rain Dance," a sure standout, is bound to inspire some new moves on the dance floor. "It's a lot of energy," says Meany. "I think people are gonna like it because you gotta dance to it. It's another movement." And a group favorite, "Rollin'," is a track the guys swear is actually hotter than their blazing "Party Like A Rockstar."

This album was recorded like a rockstar........2007-06-24

In other words, the Shop Boyz were drunk off their chairs, and high outta their mind when they recorded this album.

I'm not going to say that the Shop Boyz' debut, Rockstar Mentality, is completely unredeemable; but if you're heard the first single, which I'm sure you have, you've already heard the rest of this album. As lyricists, the Shop Boyz are some of the most mind-numblingly linear I've ever heard. As emcees, their flows are competent enough, but certainly nothing above average. The production? Well, most of the production is pretty tight, to be honest. The production is what really saves this album from being the catastrophy most expected it to be.

The lead single, Party Like a Rock Star, was marketed at just the right time. Kids nowadays are moving away from hip-hop, and focusing their attention on pop-punk groups like Fall Out Boy, My Chemical Romance, and others cut from the same mould; so, in order to capitalize on some form of rock's resurgance in the mainstream, creating a track such as Party Like a Rockstar was the perfect gimmick, and marketing strategy. Mentioning prominent rock artists like Marilyn Manson and Travis Barker, and even the Osbourne family, was also a strategic move to show that the group has some knowledge of rock music; even though they've publically admitted that's far from the truth. So, with a new brand of "Hood Rock," which is basically the same formula Lil' Jon's followed for the past 5 years, the Shop Boyz released their debut album, hoping to move units based off of this track's success alone.

I don't see that happening too well beyond first week sales. The rest of this album follows the same format as that track, with the exception of the two tracks aimed for the ladies, Baby Girl and Next To Me, both of which are decent, musically. Rollin' was good on first listen, but the Beach Boys influence is just downright corny on second listen. The same can be said about the latin-tinged My Car, which, while pretty dope on the musical side of things, is just downright wack in every other aspect.

David Banner's beat on They Like Me sounds like it would've been better fitted on budget rap album from Koch, such as B.G.'s last group album. It's certainly not some of Banner's work, and you kinda feel bad for David just having his name associated with the track. The fact that Totally Dude is Party Like a Rockstar Pt. II is enough to make you smack each and every one of the Shop Boyz. Flexin' and Bowen Homes are genuinely good hip-hop songs from the ATL group, though.

In the end, the Shop Boyz present an album that is not so much a dissapointment, as it does manage to live up to (at least, my) severely low expectations. The problem is, it never goes beyond those low expectations. Proceed with caution when purchasing this album.

ENERGETIC Hood Rock music.......2007-06-21

Rock meets hip hop. This is good stuff, good tracks...overall a great debut from Atlanta's SHOP BOYZ. ENERGY MUSIC from the HOOD, with a dose of rock to take it to a different level. The album is fun and great to listen to when driving or at club. SHOP BOYZ aren't mocking rock, rather they respect and pay homage to the rockers and more importantly, the rockstar lifestyle. How's your ROCKSTAR MENTALITY? Yall definitely need to pick this up

Bloc Party may have arrived in an outbreak of like-minded British bands set upon shooting holes in the Union Jack while knocking out a sharp post-punk soundtrack, but it didn't take long for the foursome to set itself apart from the pack. Fronted by Nigerian-born singer Kele Okereke, the group's 2005 debut, Silent Alarm, soared as much on crystal ambition as it did on ridiculously danceable pop melodies. This follow-up is darker, more cluttered, and harder to digest. That doesn't make it less striking. Exploring themes of racism, terrorism, sexuality, addiction, and death--the usual fodder for a cosmopolitan three-day bender--Weekend in the City is an album that plays to Bloc Party's strengths: tempo-shifting rhythms, inventive art-rock arrangements, and lyrics that twist and turn on a whim. "The Prayer" and "Uniform" are particular standouts, capturing moments when Okereke lets self-importance fade and majestic beats take charge. --Aidin Vaziri

Album Description

The follow-up to their smash debut, "Silent Alarm", is every bit as bright, powerful, and catchy, with the addition of more muscle, attitude, depth, and a bit of polish courtesy of their producer, Jacknife Lee (U2, Snow Patrol). Inspired by lead singer Kele Okereke's interest in what he calls "the living noise of a metropolis", this record captures every detail of daily life in a modern city from the ebullient to the mundane. From the quiet desolation of commuting to casual sex, from going out on a Friday night to the long ride home early in the morning, these are songs desperate to understand the meaning that pulses under the moments of our every day.

Customer Reviews:

No edge..........2007-07-24

Don't tag this as "indie" or "alternative" There is absolutely nothing exciting or indie about this album. The quirky, rough-around-the-edges, diverse songs of the first album have been replaced by top 40 radio wannabee garbage. I think even the band members know how horrible this album is compared to the first. They'll be opening for John Mayer or Matchbox 20 soon....

Nearly up to Par.......2007-07-19

I am a huge fan of Bloc Party, and ever since I discovered them, I have loved listening to their music. Their first debut, Silent Alarm, is an excellent album, and I kept that in mind when I purchased thier follow up album, A Weekend in the City. I must say that I was disappointed at first, mainly because A Weekend in the City is not the same as Silent Alarm. I was expecting the same catchy hooks, bouncy rhythms, and light pop rock sound. Bloc Party's second album is not the same as their first. I definitely applaud them for trying to maintain innovation, and not always play the same thing. Just recently I have started to listen to A Weekend in the City more often, and the more I listen to it, the more it grows on me. AWitC is darker, edgier, and plays with a raw, uneven sound. Even still, I think it is a good album that solid Bloc Party fans should invest in, or any lover of alt rock. "The Prayer" is the catchy hook song of the album, while "Hunting for Witches" has a neat and inventive sound. "I Still Remember" has traces of Silent Alarm's "Blue Light" in that it is mellow, melodic, and beautiful. I look forward to Bloc Party's next release, whenever it may come, and suggest going for AWitC. This album grows on you, and is really different than Silent Alarm. Change is good.

don't believe the naysayers, this album is an amazing feat........2007-06-29

if you take music your music seriously, you'll feel the strong steady pulse that beats below this killer sophomore album.

seriously. fingers out. put it on the cd sleeve. keep still and wait a few seconds...

okay. maybe if you have an imagination in hyperdrive but still, my point is that while "Weekend in the City" may lack the dancier and poppier aspects "Silent Alarm" posessed, the fact they've gone DEEPER into the instrumentals and textures and ambient noises make it so much more fulfilling! anyone can dish out some drum machine beats and a catchy guitar hook, and while this album definitely has that (hello? "Sunday" anyone?), I love how they took the direction of my personal favorite from "Silent Alarm" ("So here we Are") and just built so much on that.

Is "Weekend in the City" an album full of club-banger hits for the indie kids who still call themselves "hipsters" without irony? Probably not. Is it an album good for introspection while wandering around at 2am downtown in the city (not smart, but appealing!)? Most definitely. buy this album. you won't regret it.

A Solid, but Less Upbeat, Sophomore Album.......2007-06-29

There was a time, about a year and a half ago, when I considered Bloc Party to be one of my favorite bands. I listened to their debut, Silent Alarm, almost obsessively and still consider it one of my favorite albums - whether I needed something energetic or pensieve, I could, and still can, find it on that album.

Naturally I was excited about A Weekend In The City before I ever heard it, and upon hearing it I wasn't sure what to think. The first six of the album's eleven songs grew on me immensely, while the second half of the album blurred together without any of the songs making an impression on me. Upon revisiting them, I realized that the immediately listenable songs didn't necessarily have longterm playability; conversely, the five final songs reflect just as much, if not more care than the other tracks -unfortunately, when listened to consecutively, they do tend to sound similar. Listen to them separately, and they really do shine: particularly, 'I Still Remember' and 'Sunday' didn't really grab me when I first heard them, but now rank among my favorites by the band.

All in all, AWITC is a slower album to enjoy than its predecessor, with more of a focus on setting soundscapes than writing hooks for catchy choruses. If you enjoyed the more contemplative parts of Silent Alarm, you'll love A Weekend in the City. Otherwise, expect to spend more time becoming acquainted with the work here.

Is It So Wrong to Crave Recognition?.......2007-06-16

I saw this band on Late Night with Conan O'Brian and I was very impressed with their live performance of "The Prayer." The singer was Black, but his style was somewhere between, Robert Smith, of The Cure, and Feli Kuti, the Nigerian singer and Afrobeat band leader. Turns out the band was fronted by Nigerian-born singer Kele Okereke. The rest of the band looked like a lot of post-punk limey slackers, and by gum, they were exactly that.

From London and South East United Kingdom, this latest deconstruction and reassembly of the modern sound is astounding, indeed. "The Prayer" sounds like some kind of Gregorian chant, or possibly the throat singing of Tibetian monks. The ominous hum builds and is joined by the coolest guitar riff since Satisfaction, a crisp Telecaster riff, at once primative and modern. When Kele Orereke begins to sing, a similar mixture of modern and primative ensues, as electric guitars, bass, and drums, fraternize with an African chant. Lots of shifting tempos, noise and melody, melody OF noise, dance tempos, irresistable beats.

I found their page on MySpace and watched the video for "The Prayer" and some other songs. "The Prayer" video is very good, and it just shows some modern urban kids out for a night on the town, trying to find a cool club in which to dance. Kele is a face in the crowd, lost in the shuffle, but he knows if they would only give him a chance, they would see that he is really a unique phenomenon, worthy of their attention and patience. The lyrics are really very powerful.

Another video shows the band playing on a train, and is like one long pan from car to car of a moving train. Some kind of special effects technique was involved, because it seems like the eye of the camera dollys through the entire train, from engine to caboose, and the band and Kele keep popping up on every car.

Other videos show band members as animated cartoon characters. Shades of Scoobey Doo, or at least The Gorillaz.

I have just discovered this band, but from what I have seen so far, I am very impressed, and will pursue hearing more of their excellent music. A good place to start is on their MySpace page, and if you are intrigued like I was, you can get this album, A Weekend in the City, or else try their first album, Silent Alarm.

Just a lot of fun.......2007-07-29

Like one other reviewer, I'm at least 40, and while I know this is really music created by and for the younger generation, I love this CD. It rocks and the bass shakes my car like crazy! And it's refreshing the the lyrics are something I'm not ashamed for my kids to listen to. For me, it's a pleasant change from some of the other me-too music out there today. I think the guitar work is hard-driving, the vocals are innovative and while subtle, some of these songs have good solid Christian messages. I'd have to say my favorite song is "Love U to Death", or maybe "Never Let You Go", but I love the whole CD. If you want to find a band and a CD that will rock you and make you feel good to boot, go buy this one! You won't be sorry!

Family Force 5 -- A Force to be Reckoned with..........2007-06-26

Family Force 5 delivers an onslaught from the first second to the very end. It's a wall of sound from start to finish that is some of the most fun you're likely to ever hear (unless they ever release an equally good sophomore album, etc).

This is the perfect crank-it-up, piss off your neighbors, head-banging kind of music. And it's great to scream along to.

What I've Been Looking For!.......2007-05-11

This cd is exactly what I have been looking for. Nice crunchy guitars, upbeat, and clean vocals. I just picked it up today, and I couldn't help but put my window down and turn the stereo up. I'm pushing 40, and this cd made me feel like I was in high school again. Great, great fun disc.

best cd ever.......2007-05-08

i listen to this cd every single day. family force five is the absolute best!!!!!

Styled more along the lines of a revolutionary cell than a band, Bloc Party approach the medium of rock'n'roll with the sort of high seriousness usually reserved for philosophy lectures. Yet on Silent Alarm, this "autonomous unit" of smart, wiry London youth don't just succeed in reinvigorating the artform--they come pretty close to reinventing it from the ground up. Whereas early singles like "She's Hearing Voices" found the band still attempting to chisel their own image out of familiar post-punk reference points--The Fall, Joy Division, and Gang Of Four, to name but three--newer tracks such as "Like Eating Glass" and the prickly "Price Of Gas" find Bloc Party pioneering a freshly-minted template of staccato percussion, expansive soundscapes, and cryptic lyrics that artfully straddle the political and the personal. Russell Lissack has forsaken that overdone hallmark of post-punk, brittle tortured-fretboard skronk, in favor of an effects-laden guitar sound that adds genuine prettiness to Bloc Party's edgy rush. But it's Kele Okereke's vocal that's the band's most flexible facet, morphing from frothing anger to breathless desperation. "Are you hoping for a miracle?" he bays, on "Helicopter". Yes? Well Silent Alarm ably fits the bill. --Louis Pattison

Album Description

Bloc Party is an autonomous unit of un-extraordinary kids reared on pop culture between the years 1976 and the present day. They eventually concluded that their own attempts to imitate what had informed them could be innovative and fresh.

A true musical gem.......2007-07-20

Bloc Party have been riding the wave of critical acclaim and comes with no surprise. Their debut album is one of those works whose style seems so easy to classify, but upon further investigation, lacks any simple categorization. Put simply, this album is bloody brilliant. Instead of constructing another cliche rock album with standard hooks, Bloc Party opt for complex rhythmic constructions and unconventional song structures. The result is a fresh spark of originality in a genre that, at least from current radio output, seemed destined towards banality. Whether he is yelping in frustration or crooning a ballad, Kele's voice supplements the tight orchestration from the other band members (with a fantastic Matt Tong on drums). "Like Eating Glass" is a perfect opener for the album, combining the sense of urgency and trend in a way that is hard to describe, but easy to appreciate. "Helicopter", "Banquet", "Positive Tension", and "She's Hearing Voices" are tracks that mesh jagged, angular riffs with the disillusioned frustrations of Kele. And on the other end of the spectrum, "Blue Light" and "This Modern Love" are lovely, soft ballads. The incredibly gorgeous "So Here We Are" does away with conventional song structure, opting for a beautifully crafted crescendo. The result is one of the most heartfelt songs I have heard in ages. When the final cascades of chords arrive, with Kele singing "Hold on, I've figured it out!", the result is simply ecstatic. Finally, "Compliments" closes out the album with a state of meditative suspension. Bloc Party is the first band in a long time has delivered an album of solid aesthetic merit. In the song "Pioneers", Kele sings "We will not be the last, we will not be last." I hope that he keeps this promise.

She's Hearing Voices.......2007-07-14

And so am I, Kele and Gordon's specifically. Mixed cross-firing angular guitars, anguished vocal delivery, emotionally devastated lyrics, and danceable firework drumming Bloc Party explodes out the speakers with a cool intensity that commercial music has lost. The clean Fender guitar sound lends itself well to the alternately ambient and aggressive playing of Russell and (generally) grounded rhythm stylings of Kele. Gordon's bass playing throughout the album displays a solid rock know how in constructing parts that both hold up the rest of the song while also being individually listenable.

All the songs fire on all cylinders; even the ballends such a "Blue Light", "Complements" and "So Here We Are" hit home with intensity rather than outright speed. The rockers like Helicopter, Positive Tension, She's Hearing Voices, and Little Thoughts rush along powered forward by Matt's drumming, pulled skyward with racy guitar lines and thicked up with rich bass. The only dud is "The Price of Gas" which happens to be the only moment that Kele's ranting goes to downright annoying with the repeated yelling of phrases like "Is that a FA-CT, Is that a FA-CT, Is that a FA-CT". It really kills the momentum of the album to the extent that nine times out of ten I skip it. Otherwise this is a 5 star album, with beautiful production values and a band performing like finely tuned sports car; racing, weaving, speeding up, and slowing down with almost unimaginable hast and ease.

Influential, to say the least..........2007-07-07

It's very rare for me to get around to writing a review for any album, let alone a British pop group. However, this album compels me to make the time to put in my two cents.

I'm under the notion that Third Eye Blind's first self-titled release in 1996 (?) was one of the most influential albums of the 90s, given its unbelievable accessibility, the amount of radio-play for at least 4 singles, and the last 4 tracks on the album which were, in my opinion, better than any of the singles, including Jumper and How's it Gonna Be. Third Eye Blind set out a different pace and track for future bands to follow. Whether or not you like their next 2 albums, just throw their first release in your player and give it a spin, beginning to end, and come back later.

Having said that, Bloc Party's 2005 release is already the most memorable output of the 21st century concerning rock/pop/dance/indie/hipster, whatever the hell you want to call the conglomerate of those different genres. I'll stake the claim that, come 2011, you'll want to keep this album in your short-list of reliable things to listen to. Spectacular, blood-pumping highs ("Like Eating Glass," "Positive Tension," "This Modern Love") and impossible-to-ignore introspective tracks ("Banquet," "So Here We Are," "Plans," "Compliments") than any album of at least the past five years.

If you already own it, pay special attention to the final 5 tracks. If you don't own it, get it, jam out to the first 6 or 7 songs for a few weeks, then throw out "Plans" and "Compliments" back-to-back for your listening enjoyment. When an album does not have a skippable track on it, you know you've found something special.

One heck of a debut.......2007-06-27

They may be a bit over-hyped, but Bloc Party is still a group with a lot of talent and a very unique style. The whole album is very enjoyable, not just the singles.

Sic CD!.......2007-05-17

This cd is gr8 my first purchase from bloc party & I really am enjoyin it!

Before he wrote half the soundtracks in the world (Pee Wee's Big Adventure, Batman, The Nightmare Before Christmas) Danny Elfman led himself an eccentric little rock band called Oingo Boingo. Actually they weren't so little; in fact, the eight-man band boasted one of rock's finest horn sections in addition to Elfman's devilishly good, often humorous songs. Dead Man's Party is Boingo's finest hour, melding their whacked-out mix of XTC, Frank Zappa, and Tower of Power with a genuine pop sensibility. Elfman is in perfect vocal form here, leading the combo through their biggest hit, "Weird Science" (which put Elfman on the soundtrack path) as well as Boingo chestnuts "Fool's Paradise" and the infectious, macabre title track. --Michael Ruby

Customer Reviews:

Uber good album!.......2007-06-05

This album intorduced me to Oingo Boingo even though I was a huge Danny Elfamn fan before I ever heard them. The first song I was introduced to was Weird Science. I loved it so much I looked up the artist and was shocked to see that Danny Elfman used to sing in a band. This was the first OB album I ever got and it's spectacular. This is a great album to start anyone off with OB. It's upbeat and songs such as Dead Man's Party and No One LIves Forever give a refreshing take on death with jumpy tunes that make you just want to dance. I listen to it all the time. When people ask about OB you cant put them into any specific category because it depends on the song. Some are more ska some are more punk but like I said: THIS IS AN UBER GOOD ALBUM! STRONGLY RECOMMEND.

Oingo Boingo.......2006-08-10

The CD was all I expected. I have enjoyed listening to it many times now.

Hooray for Oingo Boingo!.......2006-03-07

This is a great CD to get into Oingo's sound, as it's more appealing to a general audience and fun to dance to. The songs are all fun and catchy, but I don't get why Dead Man's Party became one of the more popular ones. It's okay, but there's nothing ultra amazing about it.

No One Lives Forever is a great song...Danny Elfman is so fun to listen to! It's a good album to own..I mean, come on! It's less than 10 dollars, and it's classic!

good halloween cd.......2005-10-29

Dead mans party is a cool halloween song. This album is my favorite boingo cd.

Halloween Dance Party 101.......2005-10-15

Anyone who listened to the radio in the 80s (or even now) or went out dancing or...whatever...you will recognize "Dead Man's Party." I think it's strange that that song (Track 2) became so well-known. They have more generally accepted-sounding songs, and many more "exciting" ones. For a long time I considered this my least favorite Boingo album, as "Weird Science" is by far my least favorite Boingo song. Although I can't help but like it...

With a definite sort of "Southwest U.S. Dancing Skeleton" feeling (sorry, that's not really a great description...), this album bridged a change of style for Boingo between their edgier sounds and the softer ideas expressed in "Boi-Ngo."

This album is definitely worth a straight listen, though. Whoever compiled the tracks was very clever. Some sort of story arc is made musically that really shows through from beginning to end. It's like watching a movie that changed drastically from beginning to end but manages to do so with such grace that you don't even notice.

Although not my favorite Boingo album, Track 4 "No One Lives Forever" is one of favorite Boingo songs. Give it a listen!

Great Collection of Party Songs.......2007-06-26

Very close reproductions to the original artist. Your guests will never know that they aren't listening to the originals because they will be too busy dancing and watching their family and freinds having a great time. This one set filled in many holes in my DJ presentation. A real value. When can I get the next Drew collection!

What a ripoff!.......2007-06-13

I can't believe I didn't read the reviews before buying this piece of "$*#. What a waste of money! Nowhere in the description does it say that these are not sung by the original artist!!! False advertising!! I guess it lists "Drew's Famous Party Music" where it normally puts the artist, but I figured that was the company who put the cd together and not the name of some lame coverband.

We're doing an iPod wedding exactly for this reason, because I want original music and not someone's bad rendition of a great song.

DO NOT BUY THIS!!! Buy a compilation of the originals instead!

please read the reviews before you buy anything...ever........2007-01-30

After a long night of intoxication I wound up buying this cd set. This is for childrens parties, meant for those who either don't know or don't care
about the original quality recordings. If your reputation or pocket book is not at stake this compelation is decent. Save your money for the real thing. Support the original artists it's worth it.

A great set of dance tunes for kids.......2007-01-15

Lots of songs that my teenagers danced to as they were growing up (the Macarena, the Chicken Dance, Electric Slide, etc.). I'm using this as an indoor alternative when teaching physical education to 4th graders.

Fake! Fake! Fake!.......2006-05-01

I bought one of these CD's many years ago and found out the hard way. What a joke and a ripoff. No original artists and nowhere on the CD does it say this. I never bought another one.

This awesome CD reminds me of my senior year of high school at the American School of the Hague in the Netherlands.

An ok dance CD.......2003-11-30

This is an ok dance CD. Only about 4 good dance tracks worth the listen such as "Who Do U Love" - Deborah Cox, "Be My Lover" - La Bouche feat. Melanie Thornton, "Dreamer" - Livin' Joy, "Beautiful Life" - Ace of Base. The rest is basically pretty boring. Not a great dance CD, but still an ok one. Get this only if you like most of the tracks and artists on this dance compilation album.
