What you see is rarely what you get with Jimmy Buffett. While he may contend that he is the king of slackers, a modern day Dean Martin whipping up fizzy rum drinks under the palm trees in a silk Hawaiian shirt, this best-selling author and raconteur is actually the thinking man's party animal. His deceptively breezy lyrics and lazy charm belie a shrewd social commentator and a man not at peace with his world or his own mortality--taking well-aimed potshots at everything from cell phone culture to ancient Greek history to the threat of terrorism, as on the sharply ironic "Party at the End of the World." But having said that, all the unrest exhibited in these 14 songs makes for a far more interesting album than he's made in over two decades. Reflective, unstinting, and often nostalgic, the musician changes the tempo and the subject matter, swapping his usual languid island exhortations of alcohol and brief bikini tops for the fascinating emotional ambiguity of "Whoop De Doo," or the simple charm of "Nothing but a Breeze," which seems so autobiographical it's hard to believe that Buffett didn't write it. But the standout track is his chilling cover of Mary Gauthier's "Wheel Inside the Wheel," revealing exactly what kind of demons have been residing under the singer's ever-present baseball cap. --Jaan Uhelszki

Take the Weather With You.......2007-07-26

Another one of Jimmy's musical adventure that was enjoyed by this fan. Not my ultimate favorite of his CD's, but much enjoyed and will provide continued times of fun and memories.

Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy.......2007-07-25

I am not a fair reviewer because I love everything about Jimmy. However, I will say, that the title was misleading to me. All of the music is good, I just did not fall in love with it the first listen through, it took me two plays. That is not normal for me and Jimmy. Anyway, this is good cd, worth buying, even for a non-collector.

Summer Year 'Round.......2007-07-19

We are big Buffet fans. You can tell the songs that he wrote and some he did not do not quite have the same "feel". Over all we are really enjoying the CD. Living in the north, it allows us to have a sense of summer year 'round when you put on a Buffet CD.

Not My Favorite..........2007-07-16

...But this compilation passes the Buffett Fan Test. It is a good mix of new and old. I am waiting for the singer-songwriter to fully come back to some of his best works. Some of Buffett's lesser known albums are far better than this and I hope he soon returns to that style. It seems like a journey that started with Barometer Soup and just hasn't come back home yet. Still, for the true fan, it does deliver. Not my favortire, but a worthy addition to a complete collection.

Best Buffett CD in a Decade!!.......2007-06-29

After the commercially successful (but disappointing to me) "License To Chill" I was afraid Jimmy may continue down the "generic, glossed up country" road. I wasn't all that excited about this CD coming out due to that reasaon but to my surprise he has released his best and most consistent CD since "Banana Wind". Alot of good stuff on here including some excellent cover tunes ("Weather With You", "Nothing But a Breeze", "Whoop De Do"). "Bama Breeze" has a country feel to it but the CD never crosses into the "mainstream Nashville" sound that "License" did. Even my wife who isn't a Buffett fan loves "Weather With You". Excellent cover of the Crowded House tune. If you are like me and didn't care much for "License To Chill" give this one a chance. Yeah it's not "A1A" or "Changes In Latitude" or "Havana Daydreamin'" (what I consider Buffett's holy trinity) but it's a solid enjoyable CD.

Product Description

A trio of noted Australian musicians--Iva Davies, Richard Tognetti and Christopher Gordon--composed the film's score. They previously collaborated on "The Ghost of Time," a piece commissioned for the Millennium celebrations in Sydney, which came to the attention of Peter Weir. The director was so impressed, he played the piece on the Master And Commander set throughout production, and he asked its creators to write the music for his movie. The score interweaves "Old World" and "New World" music, reflecting the talents and backgrounds of its composers. Iva Davies hails from both pop and classical traditions; Richard Tognetti, one of the world's great violin virtuosos, taught Russell Crowe the ins and outs of the instrument; and film/television composer Christopher Gordon brought orchestral texture to the project. Given the period, it comes as no surprise that the score is infused with source music from Bach (Cello Suite) and Mozart, among other great classical composers. Percussion dominates portions of the score. "Drums signal the forward movement of the ship," says Davies, "that it's on a mission. It brings you back into the action." The score's biggest surprise comes with its use of synthesizers. "Peter doesn't make films in the expected way," says Davies, "and for that reason we wanted the score to be not what everyone expected. Peter wanted some scenes to have what I call a kind of 'futuristic' sense"--conveying the idea that these 19th century sailors were cutting-edge explorers.

Marvelous.......2007-02-12

A marvelous collection of compositions which greatly enhanced this fantastic film. This CD is marvelous on its own. It did not leave my CD player for weeks.

Pretty Good.......2006-12-14

I purchased this soundtrack because I really enjoyed this music while watching the movie. But I was a little disappointed at the CD. Some soundtracks allow you to follow the entire plot like through the music (such as the Pirates of the Caribbean soundtrack). But this CD doesn't provide that. Several of the songs are recurring in the film but are only played once in the soundtrack. I would have liked the soundtrack to reflect the music for the whole film rather than just excerpts.

I give the music 5 stars and the CD 2-1/2 stars.

the music .......2006-11-10

The music is excellent . Flows well Better than the movie score

Good incidental music but not great listening music - except the classical pieces.......2006-11-09

The soundtrack for Master and Commander contains two distinct types of music. First there is the incidental music for the film. These pieces are heavy on the bass side of the orchestra and are often emphasized with bass drums and tympani. This music is very effective and appropriate for the scenes in the film, and I commend the composers for making a soundtrack that so seemlessly and effortlessly invokes the moods and excitement of the visuals. Unfortunately, these pieces are quite moody and slow moving - great as incidental music but not so interesting to listen to as straight orchestral music.

The second type of music is much more enjoyable to listen to. Those that have seen the film know there are several scenes in which people are playing music - for example, Aubrey and Maturin in the captain's cabin performing a cello-violin duet, or the sailors on deck playing sea shanties on tin whistles. The pieces chosen for the film range from Bach to traditional folk music, and are a welcome addition to the soundtrack. The performances are very good (including a cello solo by Yo Yo Ma), and the recording quality is excellent. Deserving special mention is the Boccherini piece (La Musica Notturna Delle Strada di Madrid), which serves as a second unofficial theme song for the movie. The piece itself is presented in its entirety, and there is a callback to the piece in the incidental music as well, which is a welcome ray of levity in an otherwise oppressive piece.

People purchasing this disc run the real risk of being disappointed - the incidental music works so well in the context of the film that you are likely to think (as I did) that the music is itself worth listening to alone. Unfortunately, I don't find this is the case, but the classical music that is included makes this a soundtrack worth having, especially for the Boccherini piece.

Great classical music accompanies bland original score.......2006-09-27

The original music to this film is dull, repetitive, and only offers the hint of good music at certain points during it's lengthy tracks. But what about all the good music you heard in the film? That was all classical music, which was used in the film incredibly well. There are three tracks in particular that save this album. The piece by Corelli is used as something the captain and doctor play together. It is one of the most beautiful pieces of baroque music of which I am aware. A second piece, Vaughn Williams "Fantasia" is the piece heard when the crewmen have to cut the line that might save their friend who fell overboard. It's a tragic scene and accompanied perfectly by the heart-breakingly glorious piece. The original piece of music is quite a bit longer than the version on the CD, but the original version also tends to drag a little in places. All the best parts are on the version of the piece in the film. The third classical piece from the album that saves it is the cello solo by Bach that plays as a theme for the galapagos islands. This solo is performed perfectly by Yo Yo Ma. These tracks make the album worth purchasing. If you already have them, avoid the album because the rest is not very enjoyable. If you wonder about this one, watch the film and listen for the music. It speaks well for itself in the film.

Not exactly a country artist, since her records lack twang, and too casual and intimate to make for a standard-issue MOR pop performer, Anne Murray's phenomenally warm, smooth voice has nevertheless secured a lofty place for her in both categories--and has occasionally brought her into the mainstream (read: traditionally rock and soul dominated) pop arena. If you're not a fan, or much of a country enthusiast, it's her '70s pop hits that'll make the package worthwhile. "Snowbird" is here, as is "You Needed Me." If you are a fan, or are looking for songs that hit only on the country or Canadian charts, there'll be a lot of key stuff missing. Investigate the 3 CD Now and Forever collection. --Gavin McNett

Customer Reviews:

And if I could you know that I would fly away with you.......2007-07-13

Anne Murray has such a beautiful voice. My favorite song on this CD is "Snow Bird." It is such a beautiful melody. Some of my other favorite tracks on it are: "Could I Have This Dance" and "Shadows In The Moonlight." Ms. Murray is such a multi-talented contemporary country singer. It is shame that today's throw-away musicians don't have a tenth of the talent that Anne Murray has. The entire CD is a masterpiece.

One Song Missing.......2006-08-13

This is a great CD but there is one song missing from this collection. Walk Right Back should be on this CD. It was a wonderful song that she did in the 70's. She actually does it better than The Everly Brothers.

So Far So Good offers up 13 of his previous hits plus a new song, "Please Forgive Me," a gooey, Michael Bolton-like ballad. The album starts out with "Summer of '69," the appealing autobiographical song about the 10-year-old Adams learning to play his first guitar in Ontario, and includes "(Everything I Do) I Do for You," the synth-laced ballad that wound up in the Guinness Book of World Records after topping the British singles charts for 16 weeks. With its over-the-top, gravelly vocals, So Far So Good reminds one of Rod Stewart's 1980s work when he was coasting on past achievements. Unfortunately, Adams has never had a period like Stewart's glory years in the '70s. --Geoffrey Himes

Bryan Adams - So Far So Good.......2007-07-03

The quintessential Bryan Adams album. His music, his voice, his style. Like Sting and Rod Stewart, what makes him unique is that voice - but his music is this! This album.

Canada can rock.......2007-05-25

This is a good Bryan Adams compilation and will please any fan. It's got his good rock stuff from the 80s. You know, strong vocals and a strong guitar. Definitely rock, but not heavy metal. Good music to have on the car radio as you're cruising along. The ballads he did back then, which are on here too, were good. Bryan's later stuff doesn't measure up. This is the heart of his music.

Gravel-Voiced Canadian's Best.......2007-03-20

I'm sure that the '05 release, "Anthology," covers more of his career, but for folks like myself who enjoyed Bryan Adams' career in the 80's and early 90's, "So Far, So Good" is probably the best compilation out there. Adams takes a lot of heat for his music and, frankly, I don't understand why. He's a very talented musician as his multiple hit songs can attest to, so I see very little room for major criticism. If you don't like him, don't listen to him.

I like him and have to say that this disc is one of my favorites when I want to remember the good ol' days. The disc starts off with "Summer of '69" and then rolls right into "Straight From The Heart." From there we are treated to a nice helping of Adams' best rockers and ballads. Personal favorites include "Cuts Like A Knife," "Run To You," "Can't Stop This Thing We Started" and "Heaven. It also has "(Everything I Do) I Do It For You," which many consider the beginning of the end for Adams. He went on to release a few other soundtrack tunes and moderately popular hits like "The Only Thing That Looks Good On Me (Is You)" after the release of this hits compilation and they are included on the later "Best Of Me." Hardcore fans may want to pick up that title or the aforemetioned "Anthology."

For those of us who only want the bulk of Adams' biggest tunes, stick with "So Far, So Good." It won't let you down.

A 'How To' On Writing Great Songs.......2007-02-12

Let the critics say what they want,Bryan Adams knows how to write a great hook filled song! This CD is one of the few in my vast collection that I give a perfect '5' star rating to and it earns every star

I'm a metal head,I grew up on Dio,Motley Crue,Poison,Kiss etc.. so why am I raving about Bryan Adams? Because he's that good.
If you look music of any kind from heavy to country to romantic ballads,any kind of music you will find something you can love in his music,it's timeless and his voice is never going to be considered the best of the best but that's okay because it fits this music perfectly,he sounds like the every day guy next door that lives and breathes these experiences

The CD starts off with 'Summer Of '69' which is just about the ultimate driving song ever written (the only competition is Don Henley's 'Boys of summer),it is perfect and I'm sure makes just about everyone out there remember their own favorite summer,from there it goes to 'Straight From The Heart' a beautiful love song,from there is one of my personal favs,"It's Only Love" a duet with himself and Tina Turner,this song rocks,it really overflows with feeling and fun,from there the only song on the CD that I feel was overplayed 'Can't Stop This Thing We Started' it is a great song but the radio over played it (it's not Bryan's fault his songwriting is so good that radio over did it),then another beautiful love song 'Do I have To Say The Words' and this and every ballad has a different feel and emotion which is rare in this musical climate,after that is 'This Time' which is about as much fun you can have with a song and still be legal,then 'Run To You' which has atmosphere and such emotion in the lyrics that you just know he (or someone he knows) has lived through that experience...then my favorite Bryan Adams ballad 'HEaven' which they used to play at my middle school dances so it will live forever in a special place in my heart,and then 'Cuts Like A Knife' which was one of the very first videos I ever saw on MTV,they played it a lot but it never got old,great song and still sounds as fresh today as when it first came out,then 'Everything I do,I do it for you' another beautiful ballad with a beautiful message,personally I always think of Robin Hood the movie when I hear this song (the arrow going into the tree is a visual that will forever go with this song),another great fun rocking song follows 'Somebody' and then right into 'Kids Wanna Rock' it's almost impossible to not smile when you hear these songs,and it's followed with a true gem 'Heat Of The Night' which is the absolute perfect atmosphere song (right alongside 'Def Leppard's "foolin")...my only criticism of this perfect CD is why would they choose to end such a fun CD with a ballad...'Please Forgive Me' is a beautiful song but should have been in the middle,they should have ended it with 'Heat Of The Night' let it end on a rocking note..but that aside this is what rock and roll and songwriting in general should be....it should be noted that Bryan has released a few other greatest hits packages over the years but don't be fooled this is the best of the best,his next attempt 'The Best Of Me' is very weighted down with ballads and almost ignores his rocking side...this is a perfectly balanced CD that will appeal to any fan of fun rock and roll

The Upside - This is how to write songs...Bryan is an expert...and it is also proof of why producers are so important to an artist,Mutt Lange is a genius (as his track record proves) the songs sound perfect,warm and yet crisp..there are no show off moments,just great singing and musicians that above all highlight the songwriting,what can I say other then perfection

The Downside - There is none

The Bottom Line - If you are a songwriter,or want to be,buy this CD to learn how it should be done...This CD is everything that is missing in almost all modern music and it can be summed up in one 3 letter word - FUN! This CD is fun ....run out to buy this,especially at this price,donutman says so!!!

This new version of the Fiddler on the Roof soundtrack coincides with the movie's 30th anniversary (which is also celebrated by a special edition DVD). The CD is notable for several instrumental tracks by John Williams, as well as for "Any Day Now," a previously unreleased song performed by Perchik/Paul Michael Glaser (better known for his starring role in TV's Starsky and Hutch). The soundtrack is often compared unfavorably with the original 1964 cast album, in which Zero Mostel played the part of Tevye (here performed by Topol, who had been in the 1967 London production). But this CD has a lot going for it, including glossy remastering and, of course, Isaac Stern as the fiddler. In the end, whatever version you decide to pick up, Fiddler remains one of the most enduring musicals of all time. --Elisabeth Vincentelli

At first, I thought this musical was weird but then I grew to like it. It has a sad ending but the thems in the movie are really interesting. Life really is like being a fiddler on the roof. In a musical coming up at my school, I am playign the part of Grandmother Tzeitel in Tevye's dream. I am excited to play the part and I think our musical will go very well!

The music from Fiddler on the Roof is exciting, fun, interesting and funny! This CD is mixed with humor, music from different cultures and a wide mix of different songs. Each song is so different that I can listen to it for hours. I was surprised how enjoyable and pleasent it really is. Although...it is easy to get this music stuck in your head!

Ulrich Schnauss is a German electronic artist who is influenced by forebears like Tangerine Dream and Kraftwerk--but unlike retro-space artists, he doesn't sound like he just emerged from their dusty studios after being marooned there for 30 years. Instead, his synthesizers bristle with contemporary electro-rhythms, a bit of New Wave romanticism, and melodies you want to last forever. Schnauss has perfected a balance between quiet yearning and joyful heroism in his music, with sweeping major-chord progressions that are triumphal without being ostentatious, expansive without being pompous. For someone who is so rhythm-centered with crackling snares and electro-glitches, it's ultimately the melodies that draw you in, turned on glistening, bell-like timbres and space-organ sustains. Far Away Trains Passing By is actually his first album, released in Europe in 2001, but it's been out of print and is being issued in the United States for the first time. The reissue comes with a bonus CD that includes six pieces pulled from various Schnauss side projects and tracks that didn't make the original album. Far Away Trains Passing By is electronica with a melancholy soul, and it has lost nothing in the intervening years. --John Diliberto

Album Description

The long-awaited domestic release of Ulrich's dreamy 2001 debut. His 2004 set, "Strangely Isolated Place" was a hit with shoegazer and electronic fans alike, and toured with much fanfare in support of M83. Includes a 6-track bonus EP of non-LP material

Customer Reviews:

Like Cocteau Twins in Electronica...wonderful.......2007-07-23

Nothing to say, just listen to this ethereal electronic music. The first and the best LP of Ulrich Schnauss.

Love it!.......2007-07-19

Swirling melodic build-ups that end in joyful light house dance grooves - this album is excellent! I agree with the reviewer who stated that this was very happy music. One of the best finds in the ambient/electronica genre I have made in some time. This is very well made giddy stuff.

Just when you thought you'd heard it all..........2007-07-12

Don't get me wrong, I love music...but my tastes are pretty narrow in the overall scheme of things. I'm a mad electronica and dance music fan, like some more alternative rock, some mainstream...but not much. I also don't write reviews very often (probably more because I go on about other things instead and stay away from the topic at hand...oh well...

But then I came across this gem. My favourite artists are Depeche Mode, UNKLE, d*note, Cinematic Orchestra, Faze Action, Beastie Boys, Slowdive, Ride, etc, etc...I love them all...but this - this is something special. Yes there are aural soundscapes, yes there are gently evoked moods and rhythms (we've read it all before), but this is music that touches your very core. It talks to you and folds you into its melodic conversation. And THAT doesn't happen often. Buy this...and then buy everything else that Mr Schnauss has done. For what it's worth, I don't recommend music often, but this is absolutely beautiful.

I noticed Ulrich Schnauss' work listening to Internet radio 'chill' stations, and simply had to have it.

I've been listening to electronic music for quite a long time -- all the way back to Wendy Carlos' 'Switched on Bach', and have tried my hand at it a bit too. Ulrich Schnauss has taken his place among the masters of the genre, and 'Far Away Trains Passing By' is a must-have for anyone interested in electronic music.

His selection and control of sounds and layering is a delight to the ears. The mix invites you to test the limits of your sound system. The compositions are more harmonically interesting than most electronica artists and his rhythmic sense is subtle and polished, and not guilty of the awkwardness or formulaic tedium that too often burdens European artists.

That said, Ulrich Schnauss' work transcends dissection. It is the feeling of love that pours forth -- alienation, yes, isolation, that too, coolness and detachment. But through it all, love. This music is art.

Thank you Ulrich.

Very good compilation.......2007-03-16

There were great songs on this CD. I was a little disappointed that a couple of good songs didn't make it, but if it was up to me, it would probably be a 4 or 5 CD set.

So Far, maybe Forever.......2007-02-07

This CD is unbelievable It claims to be the best "So Far" I think it has the potential to be the best one ever! It truly does have the best songs to bring your heart in closer to God. It's amazing.

For Pantera, rage flows like water from a faucet. Far Beyond Driven vents the band's animosity in a maelstrom of hateful harangues fueled by thunderous drumbeats, piercing guitar noise, and raw-throated vocals. --Jon Wiederhorn

Customer Reviews:

Heavy, brutal and intense...Pantera never fail to impress!.......2007-07-25

Far Beyond Driven (1994.), Pantera's third recognised studio album (their seventh if you count their four album releases during the 1980's which the band now totally disregards)

Pantera's emergence as a major force in the world of heavy metal in the early 90's a very much right `in your face' affair. The band was able to breakthrough into popularity with an amazingly powerful and brutal style which got people listening without fail. Pantera's distinctive groove metal style that incorporated the heavy thrash metal of the `80's with elements of hardcore and some punk was defined to perfection on the band's second album `Vulgar Display Of Power'. The uncompromising and technically brilliant riffing of Dimebag Darrell, the screams of Phil Anselmo and the brutal rhythm section of drummer Vinnie Paul and bassist Rex were winning over more and more metalheads day by day. However, how much further could Pantera go with their ultra heavy music. In 1994, upon its release, `Far Beyond Driven' debuted at number 1 in the Billboard 200 album chart...

...And never before had an album quite so heavy and powerful flown its way straight to the top of the charts. `Far Beyond Driven' catches Pantera exactly where their previous album `Vulgar Display Of Power' left off. It is very much the album which consolidates Pantera's definite brand of metal with pure heaviness, plenty of downtuned riffs and intense grooves. It is overall, a very strong album with plenty of great arrangements. However, this album is weaker than its two predecessors which I find are more impressive the songwriting department. It is a testament to Pantera's strength and depth as a band that this is the weakest of their first three albums yet it is still no short of excellent. As said the album backs up the innovations of `VDOP', it just occasionally lacks that extra spark on some of the albums songs meaning the album is not quite up to the 5* quality of its predecessors. Still, all of the band members are in fine form throughout the album. Dime (who from this album onward actually is referred to as Dimebag Darrel as opposed to Diamond Darrell) is masterful as always both with riffs and solos. Some of his finest riffs and melodies are on here - who can forget the main riff to `I'm Broken' or the opening melody to '25 Years'! Phil Anselmo further develops his distorted, heavy styled hardcore vocals on this album giving greater intensity to the music. The production of the album is also top notch. I've found with all of Pantera's major label releases that they've always had great production - all of the instruments and vocals sound clearly defined, energetic and crisp. As said earlier, this album was number 1 hit for the band and full credit to them for making such a level of impression. These guys achieved it without at all selling out and they always stuck to their own direction. I salute you!!

Pantera's third serving of intense groove metal opens with `Strength Beyond Strength'. It is a high energy and low pitched opener with some express paced verse lines. The middle section is slower with a powerful grinding feel; Dime plays out some great melody lines. `Becoming' is one of my favourites off the album. An excellent opening riff with shrieking guitar notes paves the way to a bloodcurdling chorus with crunching chords. `5 Minutes Alone' is slower with some great instrumental melodies. The verses are classic Pantera with low punchy chords coupled with Phil's aggressive growls! `I'm Broken' contains one of Dime's best riffs setting up a great song. Dime often makes himself sound like two guitarists in harmony during his solo. `Good Friends And A Bottle Of Pills' is an interesting experimental track - it is a bit fillerish but still has some nice bass and drum grooves. `Hard Lines, Sunken Cheeks' is a sprawling epic with plenty of abrupt tempo changes. Theres some atmospheric moments although I feel as though the track could do to be a little shorter than its 7 minute run time.

`Slaughtered' opens with some scratchy riffs and classic Vinnie Paul double bass kicking. An uncompromising Pantera staple. '25 Years' has a brilliant intro melody which caught my ears instantly. This long song is a moody affair with plenty of mellow riffs and grinding bass lines; an excellent track. `Shedding Skin' has some great catchy rhythms and some unusual clean guitar interludes. Phil Anselmo mixes up a good mixture of hardcore vocals with some powerful cutting whispers. `Use My Third Arm' is another good track with lyrics about the police and the law misusing force. It contains more deep riffs with some surprising dissonant chords thrown in. The band often fly into some racing sections with thrashing beats. `Throes Of Rejection' opens with a signature Dime guitar melody over pounding bass. The chorus on this one is especially floor shaking when Phil screams `REJECTION!' The band then decide to round things off with a Black Sabbath cover `Planet Caravan'. I personally love this Sabbath track and I think the band do a fantastic job with the cover.

`Far Beyond Driven' continues Pantera's brutal metal style excellently. Although not their strongest work, this is still a great album with plenty of stellar songs I'm sure you will want to play back again and again. After keeping the aggression at full pelt with this album, the band would then go on to experiment a little and get even heavier! with their follow up `The Great Southern Trendkill', an underrated Pantera album which I would really recommend. That aside, going back to this album, `Far Beyond Driven' is further essential listening from Pantera. Like all of their other albums, I couldn't recommend this one more highly!

R.I.P. Dimebag Darrell

MY RATING: 8/10

Heaviest Pantera to date........2007-04-07

Although I do not have The Great Southern Trendkill, I own every other Pantera release and can say without a doubt that this is their heaviest, hardest, most extreme album to date. It is pure metal mayhem, sheer madness. The only slow songs that we see on here are Good Friends and a Bottle Of Pills and the Black Sabbath cover- Planet Caravan. Good Friends is the only mediocre track and in my opinion is pretty unnecessary, yet pretty humorous. It's really hard to pick and choose favorites. I'd have to say that I'm Broken, Slaughtered, and Use My Third Arm are the best tracks. Slaughtered is incredibly heavy and catchy as hell, but it's Use My Third Arm that is really insane and sounds like it could be death metal at some times. I'm Broken has a nice, dirty, southern style riff that will no doubt be stuck in your head. Of course, the fan favorite-5 Minutes Alone is one of the other great tracks on which Phil's vocals are the real standout.

The whole band sounds excellent on here. Phil stays mainly to a low, heavy growl, but at a few points demonstrates his unique singing voice. He does some death metal screams which are also awesome. Dimebag is of course in grade-A form here and has some very complex riffs and trademark solos. Vinnie is in top notch form on the drums and his double bass is heard throughout and he even brings the ole' cowbell out for some parts. Rex "Rocker" Brown also does a superb job, and although Good Friends and a Bottle of Pills is the worst song, it does have a real cool bass line throughout and he puts down some sweet riffs during Dimebag's solos. Also, the cover that you see on the cd is not the original. They had a different one, but it was to explicit for the record company's likings so they changed it to this.

This is a must have, classic 90s album. This is their heaviest album and is also complex. It will definitely keep you occupied listening for all the time changes and different riffs. So if you want something heavy and different and you love thrash metal, go for Far Beyond Driven.

Undeniable CLASSIC!.......2007-01-25

I'm listening to it right now... Jan. 24/07... when did this come out? '94?! This is still some truly inspirational sh!#! Alot of people say that Pantera was their "gateway" band to more extreme music, but I'll be damned if this itself isn't some extreme music. Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't this debut at #1 on Billboard?! Could that even happen today? I think not. This was more than just a step up from "Vulgar...", this was a milestone in their career. "The Great Southern Trendkill" would follow, and while it would push the limits of what their own fans deemed "acceptable", it was just that little bit outside their own boundaries which made it less accessible. Regardless of what they'd done or where they'd go, "Far Beyond Driven" is simply one the best HEAVY records of the 90's, if not all time in the heavily loaded metal canon. It's thrash, it's death, it's their influences in hardcore, in the old-school, it's so southern it hurts. Most notable is the fact that there isn't ONE BAND out there today that sounds like Pantera, and those that try (hello, Lamb Of God), receive either critical acclaim or pure hatred from the underground. In the 90's, and even today, it's hard to find someone who doesn't enjoy or at the very least respect Pantera. This is their "big break". This is the album I always turn to when I need to feel "metal". And really, how often do "big break" and "metal" coincide? That says alot about "Far Beyond Driven". Big in every way and SO metal. And one point I absolutely need to add... until just a year or so ago, I never gave the lyrics a thought, but Phil wrote some really great lyrics. Not "brutal" or "Grim" lyrics, generally real HONEST lyrics. That's that hardcore influence shining through. Where do you think all the mallcore kiddies and emo-core kids get this from? 'Cept Phil's honesty has nothing to do with heartache/heart break... Pantera was HARDCORE and his lyrics speak volumes about (at least his) passion, frustration, confusion. That was/is a breath of fresh air in metal.

Final glory before the decline.......2006-12-10

Imagine: it's the mid-90s and Grunge is everywhere. Pearl Jam, Nirvana, and Smashing Pumpkins rule supreme; Speed Metal is pretty much dead. Pantera, however, refuses to fade away. Instead, they release FBD as a gigantic "f--- you" to the entire Grunge/Alternative music scene.

While not as good as "Vulgar Display of Power," Pantera staked out their claim as the last remaining Speed Metal band of any consequence. Things went downhill after FBD but, in 1994 at least, they were still at the height of their game. While some tracks are weak, FBD is good overall and worth buying for any Metal fan.

An Average Album, not very "Pantera" like.......2006-11-12

After having reached a huge amount of success with thier 2nd album, "Vulgar Display of Power" Pantera returned to give us "Far beyond Driven" Now, I am not saying that the band "sold out" but the album certainly looks like it written to appeal to an even larger fan base. The opening track "Strength beyond Strength" starts off furiously, and then the album starts to crumble from the opening of the second track "Becoming". "5 Minutes Alone", "I'm Broken", and "Good Friends, and a bottle of Pills" are what drags the album down. Simple song struture, lack of intelligent lyrics, and more a "poppy" metal feel, are not very Pantera like, and thats a helluva lot of filler to start out an album with. The album shifts gears with "Hard Lines, Sunken Cheeks" which is the best song on the album. "Slaughterd is my second favorite track, in which Phil almost have a "Death Metal" vocal style on it. Believe me, he can pull it off too, as I have seen concert footage of him doing a Song wiht Morbid Angel, and he pulls it with ease. "25 Years" is a pretty strong song, and "Shedding Skin" and "Using my Third Arm" are passible, but nothing special. "Theories of Rejection" and the cover of Sabbtahs "Planet Caravan" end the album on a high note. So lets see, 12 songs, Six of them really shine, Two of them are so-so, and the rest are just plain flat out suck. That might cut it on any other record, but for a Pantera album, in which all their other albums seem to have almost no filler, its just not worth of anything higher then Three Stars.

Diamonds' shining there...,.......2007-06-06

Well this is either all a strange coincidence or this is a bloody good album, so it's probably that last thing. I (hangs head in shame) was not aware of Soulsavers and was pointed at this album by a friend who knew my fondness for Mr. Lanegan and if you have Dust, Scraps at Midnight & Bubblegum in your collection (and if you don't shame on you) then you need to get a copy of this as well. This is without doubt the best album I've heard in a long time, bringing together different genres of music effortlessly and so interestingly that it leaves you wanting more and finding more after each listen.

I can hear shades of NIN in some of the music but it is more complete, more rewarding than anything I ever heard from Mr. Trent. And I can hear shades and echoes of Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness, which for me is no bad thing. But this is a significantly better album.

I absolutely love the drive, the bounce, the cool reflectiveness, the soulful mourning, the twists and turns this album makes. It has a rich weave, darkly textured, sometimes sparse, but never wanting. Soul, blues, hip hop beats all demand your attention but never overwhelm, instead pick you up and take you places that are really rather nice places to be. It's the perfect companion at 03:00 in the morning when there is only you and a bottle of vodka, and equally perfect the next morning whilst you are padding around the kitchen looking for something to line your innards with.

Every track brings something to delight about; musically, lyrically, the way different genres snuggle up to each other and effortlessly support and inspire. Worthy of note in my opinion are the backing vocals, used on many tracks not only to support Lanegan's voice, but also to add emotive tones that are just done to perfection.

Revival could well be the song of the year so far, if it were not for Kingdom of Rain, it engraved itself on me the first time I heard it, and I will always remember the first time I heard it. It is magnificent. And I wholeheartedly agree with the Johnny Cash/Hurt comparison. It is moving, dark, delicate; the musicianship, the lyrics, the backing vocals, the everything about this track is just something to behold and take joy in the fact that it is out there for people to hear. It makes the hairs stand up on the back of my neck, it manifests out of the speakers, makes you sit down and take notice. This is just one of the finest records I have ever heard and is for me, the highlight of an exceptional album.

soulsavers will save their soul. or will they?.......2007-03-30

since leaving queens of the stone age, mark lanegan has suffered for lack of work. on the heels of 'ballad of the broken seas' with isobel campbell (ex-belle & sebastian for those not in the know), mark has lent his consider vocal talents to eight tracks on soulsavers' new album.

casting lanegan was a brilliant move. his voice is appropriately gruffy, weathered, worn, and wise. it's perfectly suited to an album whose overarching theme focuses of redemption of the personal sort. tracks like 'revival' (the clear standout, in my opinion), 'ghosts of me and you,' 'paper money,' 'spiritual' (jesus, i don't want to die alone), and the sadly-titled closer, 'no expectations' ('put me on a train, i've got not expectations to pass through here again. once i was a rich man, now i am so poor, but never in my sweet, short life have i felt like this before').

in an age where people seem to scramble for any shred of 'spirituality,' soulsavers (no small bit of irony in the name) tackle the universal themes in a personal way. after all, we all have these questions at times, don't we? soulsavers frame the questions within some glorious music, making that personal search for redemption meaningful (but never didactic or preachy) and ultimately very rewarding.

a very solid album.

It's tempting to follow the post-Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young career of Neil Young and underestimate this early band as a lighter, commercial diversion. But their fourth album, a concise retrospective of highlights, remains a sweeping '60s document, full of pastoral optimism and the virtues of (even today) spectacular-sounding harmonies. These songs continue to dominate AOR radio, and the best--the searing "Ohio" (written after the Kent State massacre), the utopian "Woodstock," and the ominous, graceful "Wooden Ships," the band's best performance--have an artful, mystical sweetness. --Roy Francis Kasten

Customer Reviews:

So far is far out.......2007-07-30

Crosby Stills Nash and Young are still my favorite band. Their smooth sound is a joy to sing along with or just entertain by. Contemporary band melodies cannot compare to the soulful sound of this foursome. The poetry in their songs is timeless.

Great, but time for an update!.......2007-04-03

This was a great album when it was released in 1974. However, this CD is simply a song-for-song reissue of the vinyl album. There is plenty of room on this CD for additional songs. It is time to either update this release with bonus tracks, or come out with an all new CSNY greatest hits release (similar to what they did for CSN).

An overview of their 2 most popular albums plus 2 singles.......2007-03-14

Considering that the bulk of this collection comes mainly from Crosby Stills and Nash's debut and the CSN&Young album Deja Vu, this is a good overview of their 2 most popular albums. Though all the songs are great, I don't consider it all you need to hear from CSNY. After all, they'd have other projects like solo albums from all four, side projects (Mannassas and Crosby&Nash) and other albums and hits beyond this. But if you've never heard their music, this collection should be enough to get you interested in CSNY (besides, this was originally released in 1974 and deals exclusively with their 1969-71 era). The cover features some pretty artwork by Joni Mitchell, who was a friend to the band. From their debut, you get Crosby's placid "Guinevere," one of the most creative story-songs "Wooden Ships" co-written and sung by Crosby and Stills (Paul Kantner also helped to write it, although he didn't get credit until years later), Stills' winsome "Helplessly Hoping" and the quintessential epic "Suite: Judy Blue Eyes," which was written for Judy Collins, whom Stills dated. Inclusion of Nash's "Marrakesh Express" would've been appropriate, but back when this was released, there may have been the issue of time restraint (most LP records were usually no longer than 40 minutes). From Deja Vu, you get the title track (composed by Crosby) which sounds like a medley in that it starts out bright and slows down, Nash's "Teach Your Children" (a very positive message about parents and children getting along with each other) and "Our House" (which described a house Nash shared in Laurel Canyon with Joni Mitchell), Stills' take on Mitchell's "Woodstock" (it's a shame "Carry On" wasn't included but again, it's probably a question of time restraints) and Young's introspective "Helpless." In addition, you get Young's powerful "Ohio" (written about a protest which took place at Kent State University and ended in tragedy) and Stills' "Find the Cost of Freedom" which features some fine harmony between the four. That's what you get on So Far (which probably means "our greatest hits... so far"). If you like this and want more, check out the box set.

West Coast Dreamin'.......2007-03-08

If ever you want to get away from it all on the school run and imagine you're living high in the LA canyons hanging out with joni and her cool buddies writing their songs just for you; then this is the album to play as you drop your kids off. Great harmonies from the boys and distinctive vocals from Neil Young. Cover art work by Joni Mitchell as a bonus. A classic of its time.

Packed with classics.......2007-02-26

This CSNY album is packed with classics that ring great and true even all these years later.

Wooden Ships shows great musicianship. Perhaps the broader meaning is lost in the 60s, but it is still great to listen to.

Teach Your Children is filled with 60s moralizing - or is it a modern commentatry that No Child Left Behind isn't enough?

Ohio, a song of the Kent State massacre, shares an anti-authority and anti-big government message that has been gaining steam in recent years.

Woodstock, about the iconic festival they attended (and ironically written by Joni Mitchell who didn't attend) could also be seen as surviving in modern times. At least as long as the reunion shows keep going every five years there.

Suite: Judy Blue Eyes, one of their most famous anthems, also survives the test of time.

What a great album - enjoy!
