Alicia Keys has more than lived up to the promise of her formidable debut Songs in A Minor, pushing beyond her flirtation with old-school soul and venturing into the modern world, even hiring Timbaland to guide her through the shoals of anthemic hip-hop on the breathless and funkified "Heartburn." Sounding like a hyperthyroid cheerleader, Keys unleashes a quirky sense of humor that no one even suspected she possessed. Her effortless singing on the beat-driven "Karma" is a wonder of sonics on this uplifting piece of pop philosophy, giving countless anxious woman hope that everything will work out as it's meant to, or on "Samsonite Man," where it won't. But despite her edgy styling and jazzy vocal posturing, Keys hasn't abandoned her love for old R&B and travels back in time, giving Gladys Knight's "If I Was Your Woman" a face lift it may not have needed, then turns around and recasts the song as the winsome and dramatic "You Don't Know My Name." But at its heart, The Diary of Alicia Keys is a gross misnomer. After listening to the disc, fans will know little more about the elusive diva than they did before, her lyrical style consistently more narrative than confessional. In fact, the title track doesn't delve into the singer's inner life, but instead is about a long-distance love affair, with Keys promising the object of her affection that: "I won't tell your secrets/Your secrets are safe with me/I will keep your secrets/Just think of me as the pages in your diary."--Jaan Uhelszki

How A Woman Should Talk To A Man.......2007-06-15

After hearing "You Don't Know My Name", it was like being transported back to the days of classic R&B, and a good example of what a woman should say, when she approaches a man she's interested in. Though I'm still not sure how she got his phone number? Then into the relationship, don't be afraid to tell him how you really feel about him, like her "If I Ain't Got You". Men like to hear that too. But "Diary" is the most melodic and moving song for me, it's all about the trust someone should feel they have in the one they are committed to. Alicia's in a world of her own when it comes to upholding traditional R&B.

Essential R&B.......2007-01-19

Most of these tracks are excellent, and evoke memories of earlier R&B that contrast sharply with her youth. Songs such as "If I Aint Got You" are prime examples of her continued success and growth as a songwriter and performer. In an era of the "one-hit" or "one-album" wonder, Alicia Keys is emerging as a consistent (yet, not stagnant) artiste. I hope the trend continues.

she's a beautiful female.........2007-01-11

I know this CD came out a while back, but it just seems to get better and better in time.

I always slap this CD on whenever I'm feelin' down, havin' a bad day at work, or just stuck in traffic.

From a guy's perspective, you get that feeling like she is talking/singing to you. I love that about her.

Oh, and "If I was your woman" should have been her next single.

The Diary of Alicia Keys.......2007-01-10

This is a wonderful CD,a must have for your collection.

I love this album.......2007-01-01

The first time I got it, I wasn't thrilled with it the way I was with songs in a minor. It sounded a little too polished even though alicia was expressing her talent beautifully. But overtime I begin to love the album and I consider it an r&b classic now. Her piano playing has improved and is much more mature, and alicia pays tribute to music of the 70's combined with piano and modern day r&b vocals. Definitely worth purchasing.

Amazon.com

Helen Fielding's popular Bridget Jones character--a hapless British single gal who spends her days obsessing over men, cigarettes, and calories--has been criticized by more than a few feminists for her Cosmo girl conformist mentality. Perhaps this thoughtful soundtrack, which launches with Grammy-winning ass-kicker Shelby Lynne's "Killin' Kind," will make up for Bridget's self-doubt. Sheryl Crow turns in her strongest single in years, the saucy "Kiss That Girl," while Chaka Khan's classic "I'm Every Woman" is enough in itself to make any single woman's Friday night complete--no date required, just a nice pair of dancing shoes. A weepy, straightforward cover of Eric Carmen's "All by Myself" by Jamie O'Neal is more hilarious than it is emotive; ditto for Robbie Williams's karaoke-style take on Frank Sinatra's "Have You Met Miss Jones?" Ignore former Spice Girl Geri Halliwell's tragic reworking of the Weather Girls' "It's Raining Men" at all costs; it's the album's regrettable one-night stand. The Beatles may have said all you need is love, but what Bridget Jones needs is a nice soundtrack to get her through a terrifying cesspool of womanizers and fruity alcoholic drinks. --Kristy Martin

Okay.......2007-07-26

I liked the songs but it did not include all the songs from the movie

Train song?.......2007-06-14

Does anyone know the song that's played when Bridget is riding home on the train?! I love that song and would love to find it since it isn't included on this CD.

Very pleased with service........2007-03-26

Shopped all over for this CD for a gift and found it here for half the price! 5 Stars!!!! Fast Shipping and awesome price!

What?.......2006-07-14

I don't even remember some of these songs from the movie, and I've seen it several times. Where's the Van Morrison and Artful Dodger? I wouldn't waste my money on this.

I know the mystery song!.......2005-10-26

I did some "research" and the song playing while Bridget goes through the market is "Woman Trouble" by Artful Dodger. It can be found on their album "It's All About The Stragglers". They are dance music artists out of the U.K. Why it isn't on the soundtrack is beyond me. I would've liked that better than some of the other songs. Loved Shelby Lynne's "Killin' Kind" and "Dreamsome" and Gabrielle's "Out Of Reach" and the incomparable Robbie Williams! Wish the Van Morrison version of "Someone Like You" would've been in..other version is just okay. Otherwise a wonderful CD! Always makes me remember scenes from the movie..love it!

Secret Diary is where all the Girl Talk fun begins! "John Oswald-ian reconfiguring of pop, glitched out, cut and pasted bits of Joan Osborne and Jay-Z that fly past in a blur, Secret Diary runs the gamut from full-out songs of pilfered parts combined in a patchwork matter to Olivia Tremor Control-ish noise collages." - FAKEJAZZ

Customer Reviews:

Feel..........2007-02-23

...the noise. I hope Greg comes out with another just like it only more songs. Bring on the mix (Night Ripper), bring on the glitch (Unstoppable), and bring on the noise (Secret Diary)! He does it all...SO SO SO SO well!

Before They Were Famous..........2007-02-15

Like the other reviewers before me, I will preface this by saying that I LOVE the Night Ripper album. It's a brilliantly calculated album of near perfect mash-ups. And one of the best albums of 2006.

Unstoppable, the previous album, is not as strong, but you can tell he was improving his craft, working his way up to the brilliance of Night Ripper. At least those songs sound like mash-ups in the traditional sense.

But Secret Diary, his first album, is just a mess. These "songs" are nowhere near as fluid & coherent as his later albums. Instead it sounds like your CD player is skipping. (As one reviewer pointed out, I too had to check to make sure the disc wasn't damaged!) Either that, or it brings to mind the sound your radio makes as you quickly scroll across the dial, catching split-second snippets of songs. I'd be hard-pressed to call it music. And it's certainly nothing you can dance to! One track, "Time To Get Glamorous," doesn't even use songs, but rather sound effects & such!

This album is more a meditation on noise experimentation if nothing else. It's the CD equivalent to record scratching. And it's not enjoyable. Skip this & instead go for Night Ripper & Unstoppable.

Is this serious?.......2007-02-14

I will be the first to say that Girl Talk's "Night Ripper" is simply incredible, and it never seizes to amaze me everytime I listen to it, which is approaching the thousands.

This obsession led to a understandable Girl Talk high, prompting me to order this album.

To be honest, I spent the first hour of owning it testing the CD in every disc playing device I owned, making sure that my ears weren't deceiving me. I was convinced the disc was severely scratched or damaged. However, I was completely wrong. The tracks are supposed to be like that.

One of the most annoying things I can think of is a cd skipping, killing a mood. This entire album is intentionally like that, and it's repulsing.

Purchase Night Ripper, which is nearly perfect, but under no circumstances purchase this album.

I wonder what could have been..........2006-09-26

This is damn near unlistenable. It won't ever be played again. It's like they took what might have been a good mix/mash and destroyed it on purpose by sending through some assinine chain of effects boxes. There's so much distortion and bit-rate manipulation that you can't tell what's going on underneath. And that's the problem, you can't hear the music. Art is art, whatever, but this just isn't fun to listen to. It's not thoughtful, playful, deep, or anything else, it's noise for the sake of noise.

I gave Night Ripper 5 stars but I can't in good conscience recommend this whatsoever.

Much of the thrill of soul balladry is hearing a singer, especially a male singer, overcome the cultural emphasis on toughness and self-sufficiency and confess the most vulnerable of desires. In this hip-hop era of exaggerated toughness, there are greater obstacles to overcome and thus the potential for even more thrilling revelations. DeVante Swing, the mastermind behind the male vocal quartet Jodeci, seizes that potential more than once on the group's new album, Diary of a Mad Band. The group shares the vocal responsibilities, but the credits on nine of the album's 13 tracks read, "Music and Lyrics by DeVante Swing; Vocal arrangement: DeVante Swing; DeVante Swing: All Instruments." Thus the challenge of juggling romantic vulnerability with street credibility comes down on DeVante's 23-year-old shoulders. He fumbles the ball on a few occasions--the dumb, juvenile demands for sex on "You Got It" and "Sweaty"--but more often than not he comes through with soul ballads in the classic mode, revealing the tender heart beneath the thickened skin. The first single, "Cry for You," harkens back to the slow hymns of Jodeci's church backgrounds; the singers promise, "I would get on my knees for you," and the dizzying free fall of the melody underscores the total surrender of the lyrics. The next single, "Feenin'," is a similar confession, but it's juiced up with tape-reverse percussion sounds, a Zapp-like vocorder riff and a gruff lead set against angelic harmonies. Even "Ride & Slide" and "Alone," rather frank sexual propositions, have the good grace to plead rather than demand; they even promise detailed attention to female erogenous zones. At its best, Jodeci is the most promising soul harmony group of the hip-hop generation. --Jeffrey Himes

Feein' for Jodeci.......2006-12-10

"Forever My Lady" introduced the world to those "sangin" boys from North Carolina, but "Diary of a Mad Band" defined who they were. This album is a must have for the true R&B lovers out there!

This diary needs more depth.......2006-08-02

Jodeci was one of the most popular R&B groups of the '90s. They drove women wild with their leather outfits, backwards caps, and crooning voices. "Diary of A Mad Band" was released when they were still very popular. Although I am a Jodeci fan, this is not a good albun. I have heard better coming from them. The album is dry and bland. I didn't feel any real excitement while listening to this LP. The greatest thing about this album is their voices. These men can harmonize very well, and not many sound as good as they do together. I was very impressed with their vocals. This album is also sexually distasteful. There are many sexual overtones, and they are just too raunchy for me. Artists can speak of sex and still have tact. These guys just get nasty and provocative.

"Ride and Slide" is not a good track. Its very sexually explicit, the lyrics are bad, and the production is bland. I found nothing appealing about this song. It was obviously a filler. "Sweaty" is also too sexually distasteful. In this song, they speak about intesnse sex. The production is lackluster just like the song. "Feenin" is not a bad song, but its definitely not this groups best work. This song talks about feenin' to sleep with a woman. Now who would have guessed that? The harmonies on this song are worth mentioning because they did very, very well. Overall, a pretty bland and not memorable song. "Cry For You" and "Jodecial Hotline" (which is actually an interlude) are the best songs on this piece of work. These songs are lyrically strong, contain decent production and good lyrics. They are both simply marvelous! A very young Missy Elliot is heard on "Won't Waste You". She delivers a supbar rap to go with the whack song. This song is about two people not wasting each other's time.

I did not enjoy this album overall. The production and instruments are used repeatedly and the lyrics show that this group obviously had a one track mind while they were in the studio creating this. Next please.

Diary of a Mad Band - A Classic Album.......2006-06-21

Quite possibly the BEST R&B album that ever came out in the 90s. Jodeci were the architects and prototypes of a genre of R&B that eventually mutated into the misguided raunchiness, juvenile bravado and posturing that sadly plagues the airwaves and culture today. It's not their fault that record companies tried to cash in and carbon copy our boys with a wave of one hit wonders and wannabees (many who didn't write their own material or let alone had the ability to sing). Luckily there's a multi-disc CD player in just about every automobile to switch off the radio, so that you can listen to "Alone", "Feenin'", "What About Us" and every other cut on the album. If you don't have Forever My Lady and Diary of a Mad Band - Your CD collection is not complete! Would it be fair to compare Jodeci to the Beatles? Yes, cos' these two albums are true classics and people will be rediscovering them for years to come.

jodeci elite.......2006-03-30

this jodeci album has my alltime favorite jodeci track feenin'. this album once again shows Devante's genius and K-ci & Jojo untouchable lead vocals. Cry for you, my heart belongs to you, and what about us became classic in my eyes from the moment I first heard them. Being in high school when this album came out was right on time because like jodeci, I too love the ladies. This is a great album that you can let play all the way through.

Diary of a Mad Band !.......2006-03-17

this album is absolutely GREAT! and is my favourite Jodeci album!! all the tracks are great and if you are looking for somethin' early 90's!? then this is a must have! and to them new fans of R&B, you all need to check out Jodeci and get this!

My Favourite Tracks are "My Heart Belongs To U" "Cry For You" "Feenin'" "What About Us" "Ride & Slide" "Alone" "In The Meanwhile" and "Gimme All You Got". there voices and the beats are like meant for eachother!! and i see not one reason not to purchase this, its definetly a must have!

For years now, music video directors have had no problem at all making the leap to the big screen to direct feature length movies. The cinematic virtues of this are up to debate, but surely a veteran video director will be able to corral a world-class soundtrack, right? In the case of Diary of a Mad Black Woman, the answer's yes—and no. The talent is certainly impressive on Diary—Natalie Cole, Angie Stone, India Arie—but most of the songs sound like cuts that were left off an album. India Arie's "Purify Me" is a sweet, light, and excellent bit of confectionery that might be about God, it might be about a physical man—it's hard to tell. Her other song here , "Different Directions," is definitely about a man, and it kicks. Cheryl Riley's cover of Jewel's "One of Us," however, is run-from-the-room-screaming bad. Ms. Cole's "I Wanna Love Again," a new song, is a sweet, excellently-produced torch ballad, but is not the thing that comebacks are made of. --Mike McGonigal

diary soundtrack cd.......2007-01-14

i was very disappointed that they did NOT even use any of the original soundtrack [especially for the song "Father, can you hear me..."] which was sung in a VERY powerful, moving way in the movie by the little girl, other choir members, her pastor & her mom from their hearts. i didn't care who really sang the songs as long as they were EXACTLY as they had been in the movie [which is what i thought a soundtrack was & what i thought i was paying for]. they performed a very moving rendition in the movie that was truly inspirational to anyone watching and/or listening. i don't know what they were thinking when they decided to pass off these much more boring, sedate versions on the cd. otherwise, it was just an ok cd with kinda nice music since it didn't even remotely resemble what i had heard, enjoyed & absolutely loved. i guess i just want to know what in the world happened to make them change almost every song from the movie to plain, boring, unimaginative blather set to music. it was a waste of my hard-earned money to me since this was NOT what i thought i was paying for...

Because that part in the beginning was hilarious and the song sounded good. This cd ended up being awesome, but I can't help but laugh everytime I listen to the song "No Tears" I hope someone elso found that part of the movie funny, but yeah, good cd.

Stunning and emotional...a hip hop classic.......2006-12-10

Scarface's third solo album, 1994's "The Diary," is one of the most compelling rap albums you'll find. Whether on his own or with the Geto Boys, Scarface has always provided emotional, disturbing, but most of all real rap music, and "The Diary" may be the best example of this. Lyrically this album is truly amazing. Scarface consistently tells scary tales of ghetto life and delivers raw philosophy on the state of the world and his experiences. There are one or two tracks that are just for fun (also excellent) but for the most part Scarface stays focused as usual, always having a definite purpose for every one of his emotional verses. Production on this album is excellent. It has the feel of a raw underground release, this being early Rap-A-Lot, and the production is unpolished but perfect, matching Face's style well. While often simple, the music provides a suitable background for his lyrical imagery. With only one guest appearance on this album (from an angry Ice Cube in his prime I might add!), you really get to explore the complex character of Mr. Scarface. This album rarely gets its deserved recognition. This is the finest album from one of hip hop's finest rappers of all time, and it is a must-have for any hip hop fan.

The album begins with a short intro with a dramatic piano solo drowned out by gunshots, a perfect prelude to the beautiful yet realistically violent album that is "The Diary." "The White Sheet" is the first full song, a hardcore murder rap with simple, upbeat production. The emotional yet gritty "No Tears" speaks sadly of life in the ghetto. "Jesse James" is awesome, Face spews threats and warnings at deserving suckers. On "G's," Scarface speaks of urban violence and war, over a beat with heavy bass and whiny synths. "I Seen a Man Die" is a legendary track, one of his finest single works to date. Over a subtle, thoughtful musical backing, Scarface speaks of life and death, it's interesting because while emotional, he maintains a very hardened tone. After the funky and enjoyable "One" comes one of my favorite songs here, "Goin' Down." It is a very catchy, accessible kind of song unlike any others on this album, and he even sings in the chorus. Over a singalong type of beat, the lyrics are about picking up women from his car. It's humorous and just a great song. The Ice Cube collabo "Hand of the Dead Body" is legendary and amazing, one of the toughest and finest rap songs I have heard. The beat and chorus are very eerie but totally funky, the music is banging and grimy sounding. Scarface and Cube rap about corruption and injustice in mainstream America, they are both angry as ever and this track is crazy. Scarface updates the Geto Boys classic "Mind Playin' Tricks on Me" on the next track, "Mind Playin' Tricks 94." I love this song, musically this track is beautiful, using a polished version of the original. The verses deal with very similar topics to the original, but it actually sounds like it's coming from a man who is three years more mature. "The Diary" and the nice outro end the album on a good note.

"The Diary" is a certified hip hop classic that I highly recommend to all. This album has the feeling of a grimy underground album, not really polished but impeccable with the lyrical content and overall style. This album is one of the finest to emerge from the south ever, and I think any hip hop fan should have this in their collection. It's got so much replay value and is enjoyable on so many levels, I can't see anyone not enjoying "The Diary."

10 stars.......2006-10-10

If you don't consider this a CLASSIC, you have serious problems. The Diary is one of the BEST RAP ALBUMS EVER!!! Scarface has never sounded so good. Every song is outstanding! His production on this LP is by far my favorite from all of his work. The beats just stay in your head for days. Highly recommended for any fan of music. I know people who hate rap that love this shhh...

Raw Ruff and Rugged from Face.......2006-07-06

Scarface comes as hard as ever on his 3rd solo. First off the beats, ranging from deep syrupy G-Funk, to steady, hard mobbin' produced by N.O. Joe, Mike Dean, Uncle Eddie, and Face himself bring to mind the magic of mid 90's gangsta rap in the tradition of Dr. Dre, Sam Sneed, Ice Cube, and many others. Face's hard rapping voice, and relentless flows are enganging. There are two hella short but slammin' G-Funk tracks that standout because of their beats and ferocity: "No Tears" and "The Diary." In fact, these are among my favorite Scarface tracks, brecause they are to the point and are not too long and drawn out. "Hand Of The Dead Body" is a hard core classic collabo between Ice Cube, Face, and Devin that touches on politics, and who the OG's in the game are. There is a neat remake of the Geto Boy's classic 1991 hit "Mind Playin Tricks On Me." I love the beat to it, perfect for a top down ride. "G's" is smokin, over a smooth but hard G-Funk beat, with a funky, faint, twangy guitar riff in each verse. All in all, Face's album slams all the way thru.

Simply Amazing .......2006-06-09

Amazon.com

The second album of Ozzy Osbourne's solo career, Diary of a Madman was his last to feature the talents of guitarist Randy Rhodes, who died in a plane crash soon after the disc's release. While it's not as furious as Osbourne's first solo album, Blizzard of Ozz, it still captures Ozzy's maniacal glory. Highlights include "Over the Mountain" and the kinetic "Flying High Again," which benefit as much from Rhodes's blistering musicianship as from Ozzy's heavy, melodic songwriting. Some of the disc is burdened with overly sappy passages and obligatory ballads, but overall, Diary of a Madman is required listening for the well-heeled metalhead. The 2002 remastered reissue includes the bonus B-side, "Flying High Again" single, a live version of "I Don't Know." Following a spat between band members, the parts played originally by bassist Bob Daisley and drummer Lee Kerslake have been recorded over.I>--Jon Wiederhorn

Re-recording is not the same as "remaster.".......2007-07-31

God, what an ugly move. What an AWFUL move to have bass parts and drum parts re-recorded in 2001, because you refuse to pay royalties to the original performers.

The bottom line is you DON'T mess with a classic recording such as this. The energy and original tightness of this landmark metal album is absolutely destroyed with the re-recording of the bass guitar and drums by Robert Trujillo and Mike Bordin.

In Trujillo's and Bordin's defense, they're great players..... on FAITH NO MORE and SUICIDAL TENDENCIES albums..... know what I mean?

Apparently, the original players, Bob Daisley and Lee Kerslake were bugging Ozzy for royalties due. Ozzy didn't want to pay up, or Sharon stepped in, or something.... but Robert and Mike were asked to record over the original bass parts and drum parts.

If I were Mike (I am mainly a drummer), I wouldn't even CONSIDER having my parts over the originals. No matter WHAT Ozzy would be paying. It's not worth messing with such brilliance. Talk about bad musical karma!

And if I were Robert.... man, that guy is all about the funky bass playing. He excels at slap bass, and his work with Suicidal Tendencies and Infectious Grooves proves this constantly. But bringing him in to play bass like it was the early 80s? Sorry, Robert, you fall completely flat on your face.

The re-recordings are an absolute vomit-inducing travesty to listen to. When I found out these songs had those parts re-recorded in 2002, I gave them a listen. 45 seconds into "Over The Mountain" and I immediately hit stop on the CD player, hit eject, and threw the damn thing across the record store I worked at, at the time. The recordings made me sick. Literally.

Your best bet, as a diehard fan, is to pick up the 1995 remaster (with the huge OZZY letters on the front, and tiny album artwork in the center), or better yet, find the original CD releases from the 80s. They're not too hard to find. Just make sure you avoid that 2002 copyright date, and the "Extra tracks".... they're a dead giveaway that it is the re-recording.

Don't support the destruction of musical genius. At the very core, the playing by Robert and Mike is SLOPPY. It's probably not their fault. It's not easy to play along to only Ozzy's singing and Randy's guitar parts, even if there's a click track inserted to play along to.

For the drummers and bassists out there: have you ever played along to a record, with headphones? You're never completely tight. It's hard to play along to stuff like that... it's never tight like a band practice or when you go into the studio and ALL PLAY TOGETHER.

I've made my point... get the 1995 remaster or the original CD (or vinyl). Hear the songs as they were meant to be heard, in their original context and performances.

Long live Ozzy-fronted Sabbath, and the original (unaltered) recordings of Ozzy solo.

Review for 2002 remaster.......2007-07-22

Most of the other reviewers have covered the topic of the remaster. Why write another review? Well, in my opinion there is no such thing as too many one stars for this abomination.

In case you haven't read the many other reviews, the story is that because the original rhythm section sued Ozzy for (allegedly) unpaid royalties and credits, Ozzy's camp decided to re-record brand new bass and drum tracks and mix those tracks with the original Randy/Ozzy guitar and vocal tracks. The finished product is the deservedly maligned 2002 remaster.

This is another item on the list of many small and petty acts by Ozzy's camp that really make it hard to be a fan some times. I am standing by my vow to never attend an Ozzfest again after attending a show where Sharon Osbourne had people in her road crew throw eggs at Ozzy's opener because she felt they were being unfair to Ozzy in the press. This is a prime example of how the Osborne camp reacts to situations like this. Deal with it in a public way, without any regard for the fans. Never mind the fans who paid over eighty dollars to see particularly loved opening band (Iron Maiden) without having their set sabotaged. Never mind the fans who have heard "Blizzard of Ozz" and "Diary of a Madman" for 20 years with an iconic rhythm section of Daisley and Kerslake. This is odd behavior considering how much Ozzy, at times, seems to genuinely appreciate his fans. (Note: many soley blame Sharon, but I have no evidence for that; and find it hard to believe that Ozzy would be "blissfully ignorant" while Sharon replaced half the musicians on two classic albums.)

Now, do not get me wrong. Bordin and Trujillo are amazing players in their own right. Faith No More and Suicidal Tendencies are, and always will be, two of my absolutely favorite bands. My jaw still drops open at Trujillo's amazing funk-metal on the Infectious Grooves albums. His bass playing is one of the few things on those albums that ages well. Bordin's amazing drumming that varied from jazzy rhythms to death metal is part of what made Faith No More so influential and iconic.

Also let it be said that Daisley and Kerslake are not Geezer Butler and Bill Ward. Though incredible musicians, they are not as complex writers as some other who have played with Ozzy . I have read other reviews that people asking: If this is true, then why get so worked up over it? I mean, these are Ozzy's and Randy's albums, right? Why get so bothered when their recordings are getting replaced by people who, one could argue, are better artists?

Well, I have three reasons for my opinion against those arguments. First, D & K's simpler playing is a piece of what makes those albums work so well. To put it another way, Robert Trujillo would never, ever come up with so simple (and yet so blissfully memorable) a bass line as "Believer". I have been following Robert's work for many years and say that with deep confidence. On that same note, I can't imagine Bordin coming up with the iconic beats that open "Over the Mountain". If you can get a copy of the original version of "Blizzard", listen to "Steal Away (The Night)" and hear how Daisley and Kerslake hold back, allowing Randy to shine.

It's one thing to be a complex musician. It's quite another thing for a rhythm section to know when to hold back and give some space in order to serve the song better. Some refer to this talent as "knowing when NOT to play". This is the approach taken on "Blizzard". Later, on "Diary", it is amazing to hear Daisley and Kerslake introduce a little more complexity into their songwriting. A complexity that compliments, rather than counters, Randy. They give him more to work with. Hearing those two albums back to back, one can literally hear the growth of not only those two musicians, but of the entire band. This gets to my second reason for not liking the remasters. This band wrote and grew together. With the remasters the listener is denied the ability to hear musical growth happen as a complete band. The original masters act like aural snapshot for the time these recordings were made. It is a piece of musical history that should be preserved.

My final reason for not liking the remasters is simple. Giving credit where credit is due. No one but the band can know how involved Daisley and Kerslake were in the writing of this albums. Regardless, we all know they played on the album, and deserve the respect of having their contributions heard.

Sharon Osbourne strikes again........2007-07-13

They pulled a Lucas on us. They shouldn't label this "remastered" they should label it "tampered".

You Can't Kill Rock And Roll.......2007-07-11

Maybe one of the craziest albums in the world...the master of hard rock, Ozzy Osbourne released in 1981 his second solo album called Diary of a Madman. The titles already tell that there cannot be the most healthiest action in this album. "Little Dolls", "Diary of a Madman", "S.A.T.O.", "Believer", "Over the Mountain" are the sickest tracks I have ever heard from Ozzy. They competite with the tracks like "Suicide Solution", "Mr. Crowley" from the first album "Blizzard of Ozz". "Tonight" is a peaceful ballad but the lyrics are quite satanist...at least in the end of the song. It is great that Ozzy has some good upbeat songs like "Over the Mountain", "S.A.T.O.", and "Flying High Again", and great doom metal songs "Believer" and "Diary of a Madman". "You Can't Kill Rock And Roll" is quite pride and rebellious. It was once my favourite songs.
Stars: Diary of a Madman, You Can't Kill Rock And Roll, Over the Mountain, Flying High Again, S.A.T.O

Oh, Grow the Freak Up.......2007-05-29

The album sounds fine. If I want to hear the original mix, I'm sure as heck not going to buy a CD version, for Jeebus' sake. I'll go find the album, which has a wonderful warm tone I can still remember, 25 years later, because Ozzy was my God back in my early singing days, along with Ian Gillan. Seriously, I'm listening to this through headphones at the moment. Who the heck listens to this album for the drums or the bass? You're here For Ozzy and Randy. Drummers and bassists are just throw-away components in an Ozzy band. It's been that way since Ozzy stood on a stage for the first time with Tony Iommi.

The Birth.......2007-05-17

I think it is funny that the music in the 80's sucked sooo bad. And then the 90's came and brought us Vanilla Ice and Hammer. I hate hair bands. I never knew music till for some reason when watching 120 Minutes on MTV (I don't want MTV anymore after they canceled this show). I saw their music video and it was all over for me. I was hooked on EMO... If anyone likes EMO, this is the start of EVERYTHING that came later. Even if you don't care for screaming and emotional feelings all of the music that is decent now a days came from this band. And if you look at some of the great bands of today you will find SDRE somewhere inbetween the lines whether they are playing in the band or influence.

sunny day real estate.......2007-01-06

This is one of sunny day real estates older albums and it truely is an innovative experimental album that launched a band and helped form a new type of music scene in the early 90's. For fans of all those emo bands you should look into sunny day realestate because they are innovators and pioneers that helped shape modern music and it's a shame that they are no longer a band.

Lost Treasure.......2006-11-07

I don't know what this band's legacy will be, whether or not they influenced modern emo or indie, or how to classify them. I do know they remind me of another band that was ahead of its time and broke up too soon: Hum. Before I picked up this album I had never heard anything like Hum's "Astronaut." Now I have and I'm pretty damn excited about it. Circles, 47, and Shadows are the three standouts for me, but this entire album is stellar.

This album and both of Hum's are constant reminders to me to scour the musical landscape so I will never completely miss out on brilliance like this again. When time travel becomes widely available, I'm going back to 1995 to see Hum and Sunny Day Real Estate live.

A MASTERPIECE EVEN AFTER 12 YEARS.......2006-09-25

This is my favorite CD ever. This is the masterpiece of the 1990's. Every lyric is beautifully captured and Jeremy's voice is breathtaking, sad, masterful, happy, angry and everything in between. I truly love this album. best song here is "Song About An Angel" I cry everytime. my band covered this song and everyone was in tears after. pure emotion.

Very enjoyable.......2006-07-01

I had heard of SDRE for many years but just recently picked up Diary and LP2. These are excellent albums musically and the emotions in the singing seems very genuine. I only wish I had picked these up sooner.

Not impressive.......2007-06-10

There are about 3 really good songs on this album. The rest of it is pretty lame. This band has the potential to be good, but they don't relly pull it off.

hell yea.......2007-03-25

personly i love this band the lyircs are awsome,the singing is great(love screamo!!!),the guitars,drums etc. ROCK!!!! so whats not to like? i think nothing when i first got this cd i liked this band alot from what music i had heard, now i love them....so if you like screamo (they really dont scream that much) if you like that kind of music like i do then you should get this cd or the other one i heard it was good to....if not then what can i say you suck?

Amazing!.......2006-11-09

This cd is my favorite and is amazing! The vocals are awesome. I really like each song and Emily has to be my favorite !!!!

More addicting than heroine ;).......2006-08-11

1-Soliloquy: Intro. Pretty good intro considering I hate intros.
2-The One Armed Boxer Vs. The Flying Guillotine: I love this song. It's really a great way to kick off the CD, very fast paced song that caught my attention.
3-Note To Self: This isn't my favorite song, but it's probably one of their most well known. It's definitely not the best off the album but I love Sonny's vocals on it. Once I listen to it I love it, but compared to the rest of the album it's not very good, which is sort of unfair since it's still a good song.
4-I liked you better when you were naked on the internet: This is my favorite song, a lot of people don't like it and think it's boring, but I just love listening to Sonny's voice without the distraction of instruments and screaming. Yes those things are awesome, but Sonny's voice is more amazing. & It's a good song lyrically wise too, but is a short song. (Under two minutes.)
5-Featuring Some Of Your Favorite Words: A great song, another one of my favorites. (That's not saying too much since I love every single song on this album because they're all great.)This has a bit more instruments than some people might like, but not enough to ruin the song or anything. My favorite line is about 2 minutes into the song when Sonny goes, "No I can't breathe".
6-Emily: This is an amazingly sweet song. Even better; it's acoustic. Sonny's vocal job is amazing. It might seem like I overuse that word, but Sonny is a really really really great singer and he deserves credit. :) The only bad thing about this song is its length. I play it over-and-over because it's too short, only 2:39 and it goes by fast when you get caught up in the lyrics. This is my favorite of my favorites. It's short and sweet. Really sweet.
7-Secrets Don't Make Friends: It's a great song, but sort of disappointing after hearing Emily right before it. If a different artist had this song, it'd probably be considered their best, but this is From First To Last we're talking about! :)
8-Populace In Two: It starts out sort of slow, but picks its pace up a bit. I know a lot of people sort of dislike this song, because it's a bit slow, but it's got some lines that stick in your head. It's got a bit of an instrumental in it, but it's still a good instrumental.
9-Kiss Me, I'm contagious: The lyrics make it an ideal scene song, (Bang, Bang, Guns go bang) but this came out before the scene got really huge. It's still a pretty decent song.
10-Minuet: A minute long acoustic instrumental, I usually hate instrumentals, but I actually like this one a lot.
11-Ride The Wings Of Pestilence: A song about murder. What could feed and tame teen angst any better? Even if murder isn't your scene (no pun intended) it's a great song, I love it a lot, even when I'm not mad, so it's a great song you can enjoy anytime. Again, Sonny does some great vocals.
12: Hidden Track: This song is great J they're making fun of rap/hip hop in it, & it's a really great song. Another one of my favorites, although it disappoints me that Sonny didn't do the rap, it doesn't ruin the song though. "Hiding cameras in your bedroom, girl I know what you've done!"

Overall this is a great album the only one I listen to anymore. I've only had it for a month, but I haven't listened to any other CD since. This CD doesn't get old, and is just an amazing CD.

Great Album.......2006-07-24

After adding 15 year old Sonny Moore as their lead singer, From First To Last headed to the studios to release their debut full length. The album is a great emo/post-hardcore album. It has it's strong points and has very few weak points. I would have to say though, this album is not as good as their second full length Heroine, which has more of an edge. Anyway, the highlights on this one are The One Armed Boxer vs. The Flying Gullitine, Note To Self, I Liked You Better Before You Were Naked On The Internet (one of the slower songs on the album along with Emily), Emily (which is probably one of my top 3 favorites on this album), and Ride The Wings of Pestilence. Overall, for fans of Senses Fail and other screamo bands, you may like this, although it's mostly a harder version of emo, and there isn't a whole lot of screaming. This album has great singing drumming and song writing. You won't be disapointed.

All Bridget.......2007-03-17

Anything Bridget Jones is wonsderful! The soundtrack brings back the fun of the movie.

As good or better than the original.......2004-11-27

This a GREAT cd for any Bridget fan or any fan of the music from the movie!

Even better than the first one.......2004-07-06

I should start off by saying that I like everything Bridget. However, I try not to let that cloud my judgment about things. That said, I have to recommen this cd to everyone out there.

The first one was great and loaded with the more popular songs in the movie. This one goes a step further and includes a few more songs in the movie and a whole lot of songs that might somehow relate to the story or the character and are incredibly cool. Everything adds up and just meshes really well. It's come to the point where I don't listen to it with Bridget in mind, I just like it and it's a permanent fixture in my car's cd player.

Looking for really cool music? You can go for this nice mixture of pop, soft rock, covers, and v. v. cool songs even Bridget would regularly listen to.

The Best since the Forrest Gump Soundtrack.......2003-06-05

I was really thrilled when I received this from Amazon. I had seen it on there, not even knowing there was an other addition out there. This is so fantastic. The reason why I love it is because it's got a huge mix of music for each generation for music lovers to enjoy.
There's 20 songs which is totally worth buying. Some of my favorite songs on this album are: Someone Like You (Van Morrison), My Lovin' (You're Never Going to Get It) (En Vogue), Ain't No Mountain High Enough (Diana Ross), Out of Reach (My favorite song in this CD) by Gabrielle, Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow (The Shirelles), Waterfalls (TLC), and Robbie Williams Angels which I had the first time ever heard his beautiful voice. If you haven't seen Brigdet Jones your missing out but you don't need to see the movie to absoultely love this soundtrack. Even though a handful of these songs were not in the movie they fit the theme of Bridget Jones very nicely. So it's definately not only a must get for Bridget fans but also for music lovers.

A Must Have For Bridget Jones Fans!.......2003-02-03

First off, I didn't even know that this sequel soundtrack to one of my favorite movies even existed until I saw it listed here at Amazon.com! I bought it right away because just absolutely loved the movie and the soundtrack, and imagine my surprise when the second soundtrack ended up being just as good as the first!! It's full of songs that were sadly left off of the first, such as TLC's Waterfalls, Robbie Williams's Angel, and The Supremes Ain't No Mountain High Enough. Also, much to my delight was an aucustic version of my favorite song from the move, Gabrielle's Out of Reach. This CD's been in my car stereo since I received it in the mail and I've been listening to it everyday. It has such a wide range of tunes, from current hits to old school Rock 'N Roll, that you'll be entertained throughout your listening experience. If you loved the movie, and the first soundtrack, you'll definitly love this one too.
