Nothing Like This CD.......2006-08-12

This is one amazing CD. If you like good House/Chill Out music then I highly recommend this album. This CD has been around since the early 90's but I guarantee that you have never heard music this distinctive, melodious and seductive.

Buy this CD, its a great deal.

Good original sound.......2006-04-27

This duo, essentially, have a sound comparable to a mixture of the Pet Shop Boys, New Order, and a little Howard Jones thrown in. Almost every track great, only maybe a couple of fillers, like the first track. Great synth sounds, some I have not heard anywhere else. Pretty cool lyrics on most songs. "Rock to the rhythm of love" and 'Sweet Harmony' are my favorite but the other tracks are really just as good, other than a couple of fillers as mentioned. Still, I miss the contribution of the band's former guitarist who left before this album. Compare to the 'Happiness' album and you'll see what I mean. There was some cool guitar on some of those songs. Get this album if you're going to get any of them, you'll probably at least like 'Happiness' as well.

The Beloved's Conscience.......2005-07-01

For the Beloved's 1993 album, "Conscience," group frontman Jon Marsh parted ways with musical partner Steve Waddington, and taking Waddington's place was Jon Marsh's wife, Helena, who co-wrote all of the songs with Marsh, and co-produced the album as well (though she doesn't play or sing on it). With the aid of some session musicians & backing vocalists, "Conscience" finds the Beloved turning up the heat a few decibels---this is a very sultry, erotic synth-pop album that will surely get you and your significant other "in the mood," with Marsh's breathy lead vocals the perfect compliment to the music. My favorite tracks include the sexy "Sweet Harmony," the galactic atmospheres of "Outerspace Girl," Marsh tempting his lover with "Lose Yourself In Me," the graceful "You've Got Me Thinking," and the dreamscapes of "Celebrate Your Life" and "1000 Years From Today." Only the seven-minute track, the mostly-instrumental "Paradise Found," drags on a bit (if you know my reviews, you know I like long songs just fine, but "Paradise Found" could've used a little bit of editing, I think). But other than that, the Beloved's "Conscience" is, in a word, heavenly.

Very cool album.......2005-03-29

It's over 10 years old, but still a great album to listen too. Mellow, relaxing techno. Highly recommended!

There is some amazing music on this disc!.......2002-07-30

I worked for a dance club in college, and Outerspace Girl was a favorite among dj's. There are other songs on the album that are amazing, but this song is really my favorite. There's just something about it that puts you in better mood, every time. I absolutely love it!

MAJEK FASHEK - EVOLVING REGGAE GENIUS.......2006-05-17

Majek Fashek, the Prisoner of Conscience, appeared on the scene in 1988 wearing a top hat, large baggy knickers and black army boots. He carried a pair of handcuffs round his wrists and a bell that tolled, "Repent, for the kingdom of God is at hand!...Repent, for the kingdom of Jah is come!" With large dreamy eyes and locks that drooped over his forehead, he conveyed genius reminiscent of the master himself, Bob Marley. Indeed, two tracks on Majek's first album are heavy with the late reggae legend's influence: LET RIGHTEOUSNESS COVER THE EARTH, which carries a Bob Marley baseline, and REMEMPTION SONGS, a Marley track that Majek "kpangolorizes" into a much sweeter version - kpangolo signifying in Majek's native Yoruba parlance music made from tins and sticks, music of the streets. But the most memorable song from the PRISONER OF CONSCIENCE album, a song where Majek sheds his handcuffs to wield a hoe, is SEND DOWN THE RAIN. The song featured at number one on Jamaican charts for several weeks, an unprecedented achievement for a Nigerian. And, as if in answer to the rainmaker's invocations, Nigeria witnessed exceptional downpour that year.

If Majek Fashek displayed genius in his debut album, in the BEST OF MAJEK FASHEK, rallying fellow Africans and Americans from sleep on the first track SO LONG TOO LONG, he is more mature, more original. We know of the talking drum in Nigeria's native Juju and Fuji music genres. But in reggae? Majek employs it beautifully, brilliantly, providing through it the gentle rocking percussion that starts out and steers a song like JAH PEOPLE. The talking drum also supplies the thunder and sense of urgency in the apocalyptic SODDOM AND GOMORRAH, where a frenzied Majek proclaims, "The end of the world is Armageddon!" - pronouncing it Arma-g-i-d-e-o-n. And if Majek's tone was somewhat controlled or constrained in PRISONER OF CONSCIENCE, in BEST OF MAJEK FASHEK he is more expressive, less inhibited; more of his old playful self, rowing through the rain and singing lustfully amidst a boat-load of kids in the video of MOTHER.

For some time Majek has been off the scene, sorting out some personal and professional problems, we hear. But now he's back. And as if sensing the anticipation that has attended the release of his next album - especially that of we fans who have closely followed his evolution through the years - Majek has named his latest effort LITTLE PATIENCE. How apt. I can't wait to get my hands on a copy of the CD.

MAJEK'S GROUND-BREAKING DEBUT ALBUM.......2005-08-06

Majek Fashek, or Majekodunmi Fasheke to give him his full name, has become one of the greatest living reggae artists to be found anywhere in the world, including Jamaica the birth place of reggae. Now partly based in the United States, this Nigerian-born dread-locked musician has released several critically-acclaimed CDs representing the best of the genre. Successfully combing reggae rythmns and an Afrobeat horn section against a background of virtuoso head rock guitar riffs, this is one of the true great atists of our age.

This CD, "Prisoner of Conscience" is Majek's first solo album. Itis fair to say that it has become a hard-to-find reggae classic like 'Harder they come' by Jimmy Cliff and others. Every track is great, for such a young relatively unexposed musician at that time. The first track is the famous hit, `Send down the rain" which took Nigeria by storm when it was released in 1988. According to current myth and the popular belief of the day, there was a deadly drought sweeping northern Nigeria that year. After the release of the record, rains came down and the drought ended. As you can see for yourself by listening to any track on this CD, he is a great singer - but not just that, this is a multi-talented musician and visionary. His musical influences, and self proclaimed heroes, are Bob Marley, for his lyrics and spiritual leaning towards Rastafarianism, Fela Anikulakpo-Kuti for his horns and political activism for the black man's redemption, and the late great Jimi Hendrix for his guitar mastery.

Other great tracks on this CD include 'Police Brutality' and 'Prisoner of Conscience' reputedly written for Nelson Mandela then incarcerated on Robbens Island. It is a tribute to all freedom loving people everywhere who prefer conscience to political correctness or religious orthodoxy. In this respect. Majek follows a long line of visionary artists from Bob Dylan to Bob Marley, his great hero. In fact, many critics consider Majek's version of Marley's 'Redemption Song' on this CD to be superior to the original by the great master himself!

There may a dispute as to who is the greatest amongst Nigeria's current generation of musical talents. Some may say that Lagbaja, being the most popular on the Lagos music scene, deserves to be crowned king. However, while holding nothing against Lagbaja the masked one, without doubt an awe-inspiring Afro-beat arranger and saxophonist, I will say Majek at this point remains unrivalled in sheer skills, originality and message.

In summary, Majek Fashek's first album 'Prisoner of Conscience' is a must for everyone who wants good music, reggae in particular, with a dose of activism. The genre comes no better than this.

Simply outstanding!.......2003-12-11

One word: Outstanding!, ok two words. Incredibly outstanding!

This Rocks!!.......2003-09-02

This CD begins and ends with songs with outstanding lyrics and a powerhouse, driving beat. My favorite songs are "Send Down the Rain," "Police Brutality," and "Prisoner of Conscience." I can't listen to them and do something else at the same time. I just have to stop what I'm doing to get up and dance!

Fashek is highly reminiscent of Bob Marley. If you love Bob Marley, you'll definitely love this CD.

Majek Fashek Prisoner Of Concience.......2002-01-04

Caught Majek in concert 2 times and was spellbound! I had this tape and to my dismay it was displaced. I played it over and over. One of the best of all time African Reggae. The music is intoxicating. Prisoner of Concience to me is a one of a kind. It makes you think of peace and love.

Their Solid Foundation.......2006-09-20

Unearth is a band that has made a strong impact over the years with their breakthrough album, "The Oncoming Storm". However, they have also been making an impact on the underground metalcore scene as well three years earlier, with the release of their debut album, "The Stings of Conscience". During the last few years when metalcore was a stronger and not a generic overcrowded genre, a share of bands make groundbreaking albums, with acts including Converge, 7 Angels 7 Plagues, Prayer For Cleansing, and so forth. Unearth executes this style well with "The Stings of Conscience".

This band has a strong metal influence in their music, with leads in tracks like "One Step Away", plus, there's a semi-ballad in the beginning of the track "My Desire". Another thing I noticed about this band is that they can execute breakdowns perfectly and when they are needed. Listen to the intro to "My Heart Bleeds No Longer". Great, isn't it? The vocals, well, it takes a matter of getting used to. True, Trevor Phipps isn't the greatest vocalist of all time, but with excellent musicmanship on this CD, why does it matter?

I am happy to have this CD in my collection. It's a different sound from the Unearth you're familiar with today, but it's a refresher from most of the music out there today.

Heavy stuff.......2006-02-25

This is one awesome CD. I bought the Oncoming Storm before this one and I prefer The Stings of Conscience. This CD just plain rocks, heavy. Sweet for head banging, the guitars amaze me, drumming super fast, screaming is solid throughout and nothing is wrong with this CD. Perfect 5 stars. All metalheads must buy this.
Fav songs: One Step Away, Stings of Conscience, My Desire.
So just buy it already, and get ready to be annihilated.

Talent And Lyrics Are Strong - Innovation And Vocals Are Weak.......2005-11-06

"The Stings Of Conscience" will offer a wide range of things to it's listeners, whether it's the very distinct sound of two guitarists that actually stands out at all times, the very solid and precise drumming, or the great writing skills that come out in the lyrics; but along with those stand outs, this album also offers very bland and mediocre vocals which are overpowered by all the instruments at all times, and after listening to this album it's hard to sometimes pick out which song is which because this band didn't try being innovative and sticks to almost the same formula or flow.

Don't get me wrong, `Unearth' is a very talented band instrumentally, guitarists Buz McGrath and Ken Susi are very gifted with the guitar and you can tell they took the time on writing the songs... but ultimately it really gets boring after awhile. Mike Rudberg is truly an excellent drummer and his abilities really shine on this release, he is one of the more solid members in the band for this album. Bassist Chris Rybicki does his part, but that's about it, he never pulls himself in front of the guitars more than a couple times; which is typically him sliding notes.

Now, Trevor Phipps the vocalists... some great things can come from this man but also some terrible things. His lyrics are simply great and sometimes very inspiring. When reading them I rarely found myself lost or confused in his thoughts, as for the most part he is very straight forward. But what was most unsatisfying was his vocal abilites... his screams seem very held back and almost as though he was sick during the recording process. They in fact get really annoying to listen to and have absolutely no appeal on me. Maybe there is a reason why the instruments were over powering him throughout the album.

This album defiantly does have some memorable moments that stand out. This includes the intro/bridge breakdown of "My Heart Bleeds No Longer", which before the bridge Trevor yells "I know so many who would want to see you burn!" which goes along with the lyrics about someone or a group looking up to or following someone only to realize you've been betrayed by their lies and schemes. My personal favorite of the album "One Step Away" features very inspiring lyrics about how we have only one life and we need to get out there and live it, not to mention the incredible breakdown/chant at the end - "ONE STEP AWAY!" - which is the most memorable part of the album, and really great to see live.

This release could have had something, if they would have taken the time to really make each song sound completely different and be a little experimental. The talent shines but it grows tiring to listen to, and before I know it I'm actually sitting there getting bored. Hopefully with some maturity in the vocals, the powerful lyrics will be able to be listened to better! Which has happened on their latest release "The Oncoming Storm", so go out and pick that album up first, and if you really like that let a friend let you borrow this album. Unearth sits itself on the sideline bench with the rest of the typical and boring metalcore bands. While they seem to be getting very popular, almost `mainstream' (touring with Slipknot), they won't be getting off the bench anytime soon on my music field.

\m/ UNEARTH KICK ASS \m/.......2005-10-14

To all those who are with me on this review u are legonds and please read on.This album makes u want to smash every little thing in ur room and when the album finishes ull think what the hell have i done!Also if u listen to it every day ur speakers dont last.This band can not produce a very bad song there are some better than others but on this album the more you listen to the songs the more you like them.The guitarists work beautifuly together,the singing goes perfectly with the music,the druming is fast and really gives the songs effect and the bassist well he just plays.This is the best UNEARTH album in my opinion but is followed closly by The Oncoming Storm.The best tracks on here are:
>ONE STEP AWAY
>ONLY THE PEOPLE
>MOTION
I recomend this album to any metal head and i hope this review helpful to you.

Amazing Debut From Unearth.......2005-06-24

This album is jawbreaking, jaw-dropping, jaw-crushing, you name it. From the moment I first the album's first track, I felt like my headphones just sandwiched my skull in. This is what I love about Unearth, the ferocity of hardcore with the technicality of metalcore. While I personally would have preferred screaming vocals that weren't "typical sounding", it's still a pretty solid album. As you might have heard, you should believe it, this album has some awesome breakdowns. Some of the best you'll hear in a LONG while. This band's second effort "The Oncoming Storm" is really good...it's also starting to go down that boring sea of metalcore rubbish but they still stand out among the rest.

One of the very best albums of the 1980s........2007-03-01

Although it went mostly unnoticed at the time of its release, "Conscience"
was one very fine R&B album that deserved far greater exposure and success. I strongly recommend it to anyone who loves classic Soul. This is some of the best post-1985 R&B music you could find anywhere.

The story of Love!.......2005-07-21

Great soul music from 1988 which hasn't dated one bit.

Husband and wife team Womack & Womack (he, brother to soul legend Bobby Womack; She, daughter to soul legend Sam Cooke) had a massive UK top 3 hit with the upbeat, catchy, clap-a-long `Teardrops', and it's similar sounding follow up `Celebrate the world' was also a UK top 20 hit.

The theme of the CD is love in its various ramifications and stages.

Opening track `Conscience of my conscience' is a funky ditty about learning from yesterday's class.

Track 2 is a funky dance number about a lover who plays around so much, she's been reported to the `Missin' persons bureau'. Great song!

`Friends (so called)' is about being let down by friends, with great lyrics like a man needs to know who will shine the light for him/when his way is dark and dim. Great percussion.

My favourite song has got to be the tender and sober lament of `Slave (just for love)' about a man so in love, he gave everything up for his lady. Featuring some haunting backing vocals, and a delicate delivery from Linda in the last 2 minutes. Brilliant!

`Good man monologue' is a retro sounding number with Cecil sounding a bit like Macy Gray, and Linda like a young Aretha.

`Life is just a ballgame' is a sunny, bouncy song, comparing life to a game. Sometimes you win, and sometimes you lose. I love the delicate percussion and soothing bass line.

`I am love' is a beautiful tender ode to love. The CD notes preceeding this song declare `Love is the most powerful force in the universe..', so true.

Tight musicianship, excellent production, great songwriting, and passionate soulful vocals make this a fantastic CD, still giving soul music of today a good run for its money...

baby I'm scared of you.......2005-03-12

This song reminds me of my first Love.
It takes me back, to a time of innocence and pure delight.
The words and the beat may be alittle old fashion for forks who are twenty and under.
Yet, my era {the seventy's}and our style seems to satisfy a verity of palate's.
Please listen and enjoy as I do.
While driving down a stretch of highway ,my hair blowing in the wind, singing the words thinking of what I will be getting into next.
I'm certain that you to will be Magically transported
to a erotic, place of undiniable satisfacion.
The Womack's have always been favorites of mine.
If they are singing as a group or solo I am forever a Fan.
The wife of this particular brother is the daughter of the late great Sam Cook.
How could they make anything but, good music together.
I also herad that all the children these two have where born at home with Daddy Womack at the side of his Beloved.
Maybe this is't a factor for those who make musical purchases.
The point for myself was that when this couple first started out,
I followed there career to the letter.
You can imagine how Happy I was to find all my oldies but Goodies
with Amazon.
Be delighted and Enjoy All!

A great story.......2003-08-26

This album is written like a story, every song being like a chapter. The lyrics are beautiful and the music is also very interesting. I thought "Teardrops" would be the only song I would buy the album for, but fortunately I love many others like "Missin' Persons Bureau" and "Life's Just A Ballgame". With the album "Conscience", the Womack family offers an impressive gift of love and humankind.

Great songs.......2003-02-05

20 years or so on Teardrops is still a great song. Heard a remake of it on the radio this morning which is far off the quality of the original.

The 15 lesser-known tracks included in this compilation deliver exactly what the title states. Peter, Paul & Mary, of course, helped invent "protest" music when they recorded Bob Dylan's "Blowin' in the Wind," transforming it into a '60s civil rights anthem. That song isn't included here; in fact, the best-known tune is Phil Ochs's "There But for Fortune," although folk fans will also be familiar with Woody Guthrie's Depression-era "Pastures of Plenty" and the antiwar "Wasn't That a Time," most often associated with the Weavers. The social concerns addressed range from environmental degradation (the antinuke "Power") to racial disharmony (Pete Seeger's childlike "All Mixed Up") to political injustice (the graphic albeit melodically beautiful "El Salvador"). "Don't Laugh at Me," the sole new track here, preaches childhood tolerance, making it a perfect companion piece to PPM's classic "Danny's Down," also included here. The gorgeous, melodic new song is a must for fans, and although the other 14 songs are culled from nine previous LPs, it's still impressive to hear such sincere expressions of social consciousness. --Bill Holdship

True Folk Music.......2006-07-16

I started playing the guitar in the early 60s, and most of what I played and sang was folk music - Joan Baez, PP&M to name two. This CD is absolutely inspiring. It reminded me of how committed I had been to a better world. I'm ashamed to say that I drifted away from this music, but I still have my guitar, so it's time to get back on board and work towards freedom, peace and justice.

The legacy of Peter, Paul & Mary as folk singers.......2002-04-23

The idea behind "Songs of Conscience & Concern" is Peter, Paul & Mary sang lots of other great protest songs besides their popular hits "If I Had A Hammer," "Blowin' In The Wind," and "Where Have All The Flowers Gone." I might not have heard PP&M sing many of the songs included in this retrospective collection, but several of them are quite familiar from all the folk music I have been listening to this year. The album begins with the Weaver's "What That A Time" and Woody Guthrie's "Pastures Of Plenty," two songs I have recently discovered and greatly admire. The issues covered in these songs stretch from the Great Depression to today and the songs come from a dozen PP&M albums, although it is not surprising that three of the songs come from their "Flowers and Stones" album. One of the things I really noticed on this album was that they reflect not only the graceful harmonies of the trio, but that the instrumental work on some of these songs is as good as anything we have heard them do. With their successful holiday concerts and the enduring legacy of "Puff the Magic Dragon," it is important sometimes to remember that Peter, Paul & Mary were folk singers, and that once upon a time folk singers were the social conscience of this nation. This album is a remember of those times.

Touching CD!.......2001-01-14

This Peter ,Paul and Mary Cdis a dimaond in the ruff.It contains all lesser known songs.So if you want there famous and best songs you won`t find them on here .However the song EL SALVADOR takes us back to the Reagan presidency and wonders why are troops are there?But the one song that made this album a must by for me is DON`T LAUGH AT ME!...THIS SONG WILL SIMPLY TOUCH YOUR HEART!The song reflects on all the kids and people who are always ridiculed for there awkward appearances or social status.Maybe every cruel kid who tortured another kid as a child should listen to this song?As the song says in the end we all will get our angel`s wings.We are truely all equal in the eyes of God.If you wish to teach your kid about life ,buy this cd and listen to this song!

A Great Compilation of the Music PPM is Best At.......2000-10-05

PPM have been my favorite group ever since my parents bought us their first albums in the early sixties. I have also raised my now college-aged kids on PPM. I thoroughly enjoy this CD, even though I have all the songs (except the new one) on my other PPM CDs. My favorite titles are "Danny's Downs", "Home is Where the Heart Is" and "Don't Laugh at Me". They make us "conscience" of social issues that affect all of us here and now. It is great to have most of my favorite PPM songs on one CD. It is great to see that after 40 years they are still giving us great 'G' rated music.

Don't wait.......2000-08-16

I was reluctant to buy this CD because I had all the cuts, except their latest, on other CD's and albums in my collection. I have to say now that the recordings are all exceptional performances and "Don't Laugh at Me" alone is worth the price of the CD. Don't wait . . . don't hesitate to invest in a copy of this CD for yourself.

One of the best solo treble recordings.......2003-12-19

This CD is a collection of consort songs from olden times, superbly sung by Connor Burrowes. It is the recording I like best of this boy singer, and among all boy singers Connor stands out for the perfection and cleanliness of his singing. It is highly recommended for for the above reasons, and also for being one of the few historically accurate recordings of this kind of music. These songs were mostly "family music", and in a 17th century English family a musical evening would more often than not find the boys singing and the older family members playing the instruments.
When I come across some uninformed person who thinks that boys can't sing with as much maturity and perfection as adult singers, I use this recording to show that they can, and do!

great and soothing.......2002-11-24

This is one of the best examples of boy solo work I have ever heard. (My collection is extensive). This is very different from some of the "Boys Air" work that Connor Burrowes has done in that itt is not over produced and studiolike. This is the real thing. I send the tunes out over the gfarden and watch the leaves fall. This is a must have if you like the purity of this sort of sound.

For Trekkies only..........2006-06-17

Only the most avid STAR TREK fan will consider this disc a collectors item. All the music recorded here never made it as soundtracks for the episodes represented. Back in 1985 or about,
someone got the the idea to do and record suites for a few of the original more memorable shows. So the whole project is a contradiction as these scores were never used. The strength of what is recorded here is credited to the composers ability to interweave themes for each collective suite. They are symphonic indeed! The first suite (approx 20min.) evokes Ravel or Debussy with it's sweeping impressionistic themes. To the composer's credit only brief interjections of electronic organ are used. The second (only about 9min.)represents one of many of Kirk's romances. Upon listening you'll conjure up images of Marilyn Monroe being pursued by whatever leading man. In the third(approx. 15min.) you get a 23rd century wild west influence right out of the Charles Ives school. There is considerable tension in the orchestration, with clever distortion of harmonica and saloon honky tonk type themes.
All three suites utilize the familar Enterprise fanfare for comfort. You will have to view the original episodes to really see how all this music would have fit in. Add a star if you think its worth the effort. The recording features overblown 24Bit mastering. Watch your sound levels!

Solid, tasteful, and worthy for hardcore fans.......2002-03-25

The problem with television scores is that, in addition to a general dearth of interesting material, the individual cues end up being far too short for real development or to produce a meaningful listening experience when separated from the original program.

"Star Trek" fortunately tends to have sufficiently interesting material but, like any other series, its cues are often too short, thus making some of the oringal material available from GNP Crescendo records somewhat awkward on CD.

Here the material from each of the episodes' fine scores is woven together to create more of a portrait of an episode than a collection of individual short pieces. The transition to suite form is tasteful and effective, probably as good a presentation of the original material as possible.

The only problem is that the quality of the reorchestration with this remake is often a little disappointing; there are no blatant missteps, but a few of the cues representing exterior shots of the Enterprise come across as too cheery and even silly, a fault not present in the original recording.

The holy grail for score fans is an original recording that forms an effective and cohesive listening experience. As this seems to be impossible given the way the original Star Trek scores were written, this CD as as fine a presentation as an audience can hope for.

not as good second release by a new wave band whose first LP was awesome.......2007-01-26

I was thrilled when I discovered "The Expression," a synth/dance new wave band from 1984 who perfectly blended synth, guitars and electronic dance rhythms with the best of the era--A Flock of Seagulls, Berlin, early Pseudo Echo (before Funkytown). With a lead vocalist who sounds like he could be fronting Tears for Fears, The Expression's first LP, recently issued on CD, was an undiscovered treasure for fans who loved this style of music back in the early 80s. However, with this second release, The Expression ironically pulled a tears for Fears, who, after a synth driven masterpiece of new wave on their first LP, traded in most of their synths for guitars on their second hit LP. The expression mostly did the same here. While there are clear signs of great pop hooks, only a few of the songs retain the style of the first album. The rest is on the harder edge of more artsy alt rock. The bottom line is, if you like the first Tears for Fears CD better (the hurting), buy the Expression's self titled CD. If you prefer Songs from the Big Chair, then pick this one up. If you love all music of that era and like to hear a band grow and change, then pick up both!

Great !!.......2004-02-11

Maybe it's not what you expect if you have listened TRANSMISSIONS or TERRITORY. I love all acumen albums, specially this one. Ventilator is a really great song, and so dreamheart crush'd or any other song in the album. Probably it's the best way to start listening the band, as this MORE HUMAN HEART is their most accessible album, not as "hard" as the other ones. Otherways, my favourite album from acumen is THE FIFTH COLUMN ( I love it!! ). About LORD OF THE CYNICS... it's not what I expected but...sure I'll love it too

Good album........1999-10-01

While I think this album pales in comparison to their debut album Transmissions From Eville, I don't really know how well it compares to their second album though. It's still a worthy buy and a good place to start.
