Short-lived and with only a limited output, this five-piece bluegrass band nevertheless helped spread the gospel of this extraordinary genre via the famous coattails of its most notorious member: Jerry Garcia. However, they were no novelty act. Breakdown is the second posthumous release culled from a series of 1973 concerts in San Francisco. At a robust 70 minutes, the album flows like a complete live set, featuring scrumptious musicianship and harmonious camaraderie. Much better than the eponymous debut from 1975--and a perfect second volume companion to 1996's equally worthy That High Lonesome Sound--Breakdown features covers of greats Bill Monroe and Flatt & Scruggs, originals by the band's guitarist Peter Rowan, fiddler Vassar Clements and banjoist Garcia. A must own for any fan of acoustic music and a great primer for bluegrass neophytes. --Greg Emmanuel

Great Bluegrass music! A must have for the fan of the genre.

Real Bluegrass But With An Innovative Approach.......2006-01-20

What I like about this band is that is they are able to mix authentic bluegrass with a little something more experimental and unique. For example, the songs include several covers from bluegrass legends like Bill Monroe and the Stanley Brothers. But also some originals, mostly written by guitarist Peter Rowan. Actually I think Rowan demonstrates outstanding song writing ability on songs like "Panama Red" and "Midnight Moonlight". So it's a shame that he remained in relative obscurity as a musician. But still his music shines through on this album. I also love the mandolin sound of David Grisman and Vassar Clements' fiddle playing!

Among the traditional songs, I especially liked the patriotic "Down Where The River Bends" and the old gospel tune "Drifting Too Far From The Shore". It's ironic because the lyrics of these songs are so different from my personal experience and yet they manage to move me deeply. It's funny how music can do that to you. In any case, this is a fine album and I recommend it highly to both straight-up bluegrass lovers and rock fans drawn to it by Jerry Garcia. Good stuff!

Just Excellent!!.......2005-09-15

I grew up on bluegrass, and then as i got older I grew away from it. Years later I was listening to Led Zeppelin, Grateful Dead, etc.. It was after listening to "Cumberland Blues" off the Dead's Workingmans Dead album that I heard the banjo in the background. I found out later it was Garcia. Looked into it further and found Old & In the Way years ago. I've been playing banjo going on 14 years now because of Jerry, and the love for the music that I rediscovered. A lot of people put down his playing, but you try picking a banjo with your thumb, pointy and ring (middle finger was chopped off in accident as a child) and you'll see his handicap didn't slow him down. The rest of the musicians are excellent as well. Vassar was a fiddling Wonder! And the "dawg" is great as well.All three OAITW albums are classics!

Vassar--Goodbye and Hello.......2005-08-19

I agree wholeheartedly with reviewer Cox here. Most will come for Garcia, but will stay for Vassar. The group playing is a little ragged here and there (a live performance, after all), but so much is first rate bluegrass, and I've never heard Vassar Clements so fiery--more daring than on his work with Nitty Gritty DB (which is also splendid), Bela Fleck, or even on his solo albums. Grisman is a delight as always, bur VC steals the show. Sorry to say, I just read Vassar's obit in the NYTimes yesterday. Alas. But this CD is a reminder of his great talent.

Fantastic album.......2005-08-15

In short, this is one immensely satisfying bluegrass album. The three soloists (Garcia, Clements, and Grisman) are excellent, and Clements' fiddling is jaw-dropping. Grisman, as usual, displays a keen sense of phrasing and a still-astonishing speed. Garcia can actually play the banjo with some ability, though his solo breaks are usually restricted to the melody or some spruced-up chord progression. It's interesting that after almost every solo, Jerry gets some cheers--from G.D. fans, I imagine--while Grisman and Clements (both of whom are vastly superior to Garcia in bluegrass terms) rarely get much individual applause.
I'm not trying to disparage Garcia's playing--he definitely holds it together, and considering his G.D. history, I was surprised by his abilities.
The group excells at making the songs accessible, both in the choice of songs and in the playing.

Some particularly enjoyable songs:
Kissimmee Kid (Clements and Grisman shine)
Wild Horses
Midnight Moonlight
The Hobo Song

Buy this album immediately. It's certainly worth it; when I first bought it, it didn't leave my car stereo for about 2 weeks.

Instruments of the Orchestra - Great Reference Material!.......2007-04-04

This set lends itself to greatly enhancing one's knowledge of the orchestra, instruments in it, and their usage. I am a huge music buff, and I still picked up a great deal I previously did not know. I highly recommend this for all who wish to understand the origin of music, as well as the processes that are employed to create music!

Beginner or Expert.......2007-03-12

This CD is excellent for the beginner or expert! To be able to haear the instrumets separately and then together really provides a good education. and/or refresher. The book thaty comes with the CD is alomost worth the price by itself!

Very Informative and Enjoyable.......2006-11-20

Whether you're a music novice or pro, "The instruments of the Orchestra" is a very worthwhile purchase. The 7 CDs, with a total of 8 hours, are expertly narrated by Jeremy Siepmann. He's a great speaker, very much like the late Leonard Bernstein was. Mr. Siepmann takes you on an unforgetable musical journey covering the origins and use of the various orchestral instruments throughout musical history. The balance between his narration and a wealth of musical examples, which range from snippets to entire movements, is superb. The comprehensive enclosed booklet is excellent and faithfully follows the 7 CDs in content. Even with my 40+ years of music training I still learned new things from this wonderful collection. Considering the excellence of the content, and a cost that translates to about $5 per disc, this collection is a great value. Grab it, you won't regret that you did. Five solid stars!

Frank's view.......2006-08-19

This boxed set of CD's with booklet achieved all I had hoped that it would. There are good samples of individual instruments and well done commentary on each. The only drawback was that some of the samples were too brief and could have been longer, hoiwever I guess this fits in with time constraints of the medium. It has given me a lot of clues as to future purchases of CD's for listening to individual instruments. Altogeth a satisfactory purchase and a welcome addition to my collection.

Excellent Intro for Those Not Familiar with the Orchestra.......2003-11-08

I've listened to classical music for years and am interested in composition. I bought this CD set to learn how an orchestra and its instruments work. I thought the CDs would be a nice but boring lecture. They aren't! Not only are they FUN but they are informative as well. I learned a huge amount from each CD and couldn't wait to listen to the next one.

The narrator and writer is a great speaker and holds your attention well. He is definitely knowledgeable. He provides musical examples for each point he makes, so you get to "hear" what he just talked about. I'd say the CDs are about 65% music and 35% narration. You'll learn about the range of instruments, some history, different ways to play them, how they sound, and how they are used in the orchestra. This CD set was a great learning experience and is sold at such a low price!

I recommend this CD for those who want to learn about classical music and those who know about it but are interested in learning more about the inner workings of an orchestra. You'll learn much useful information. For instance, the Rite of Spring (with that eerie start) is written for bassoon! I never knew a bassoon could sound like that but now I do.

The one complaint I have is the last CD. This deals with the orchestra. I wanted more of a tour of how the orchestra has been used through history up to the present. Instead, it was a tour of how different groups of instruments sound. I thought it could have been better. The other 6 CDs are excellent.

Household Favorite.......2007-06-08

I got to first and foremost admit to being a huge Collective Soul fan. Well, this was the first record that came out since I've enjoyed listening to them so much, so naturally, I bought and fell in love with it almost immediately.

For Collective Soul, this is very similar to 2 of their other albums (even more so than the rest). Disciplined Breakdown breaks down like Collective Soul (the second record) and also like Blender (the fifth record). This is more consistently melodic than Blender while also seeming more consistently heavy than Collective Soul.

Less generally speaking, I love the songs here. Like Full Circle fits the title and somewhat tells a story while remaining melodic, catchy, a rock song, and a typical Collective Soul song. They took a stab at perfection with all of the brilliant timing setup in Blame: that song is just marvelous the way it all comes together. That old titlecut Disciplined Breakdown, well, here's the breakdown: not a radio single but it is the best song on the record. More???...well, it has it all--it is just a well-writen, fierce, complete song.

The songs on this album are vividly complex, by the way. I think Ed and Dean Rollands' Songwriting abilities really come through on this record. Wow, what a winner.

Outstanding!.......2005-12-02

What a great CD! Haven't taken it out of CD player since I first heard it! I'm a newcomer to CS, starting with Youth and working my way backwards to the beginning of their collection--This is one terrific CD that I, as many other viewers, keep playing each song two and three times over until I get to the next song. This one just rocks! Every single song is awesome! Great lyrics, great writing. To me, this is the best one and not to be missed.

not a critic, however opinionated.......2005-02-15

Another solid outing by Collective Soul

Precious Declaration gets the album off to an energetic start with a little of CS' way of telling it like it is. Things soften a little with Listen and Maybe, yet both songs show an intricacy and level of emotion not present in many songs today--especially Maybe. Full Circle is one of those feel-good songs, but it is a little too light musically--maybe it's the harmonica, maybe the horns--there is a definite yet very slight annoying quality. Blame is bookended by short acoustic numbers--maybe to calm listeners in advance of the harsh lyrics(that is, if they could refer to you). The title track is classic saw-blade distortion seen on previous Collective Soul work, and it works well here. The next four songs--Forgiveness, Link, Giving, and In Between--all have that endearing quality and beautiful production that is always present when Collective Soul show a softer musical side. Some may be turned off by the pristine production, but at the same time it enables the listener to pick out the various details. Crowded Head definitely lets out a little frustration, and is not a favorite here musically, yet it's done well. Everything returns to the old recipe of meaningful lyrics set over top of layers and layers of clear, concise giutar work, solid lyrics and good percussion--the norm on this album. Collective Soul continue to mature with this offering, and time has treated this one well.

As good as all their others. .......2004-09-01

I have always liked "Collective Soul" since their first single came out, but for some reason I never gave this third album a listen. My mistake. What a great record. I find it to be just as good as anything else they've done, so if you like anything from the debut to "Blender", you should like this. It starts with the two excellent songs "Precious Declaration" and "Listen", picks up again with the title cut and "Forgiveness", and continues to impress with "Link", "Giving", and "Everything". Overall a must for fans, and anyone who likes pop, rock, or grunge should enjoy it. I hear they're working on album #6, let's hope it's this good.

Possibly the Best of Collective Soul.......2003-07-09

I first heard of Collective Soul with the single "Shine" and I was a little impressed, but not enough to buy the CD. When "Disciplined Breakdown" came out, I decided to give it a shot. WOW!! Talk about major growth as artists!! I was amazed at the complexity and layers of their music as well as the deepness of their lyrics. "Precious Declaration" is one of my favorite songs to rock out to, "Listen" is very artistic pop/rock, "Maybe" is one of my favorite songs - speaks of the feelings you experience of losing someone close to you - beautifully acoustic guitar here. "Full Circle" and "Blame" are gems of pop/rock music as well with very intense lyrics. This was one of the most under-sold and under-rated CDs of the 90's and remains one of my most-played CDs even today. I highly recommend this band to people who value deep lyrics and artistic music... Collective Soul does not disappoint!

Good Good Greatness.......2007-07-20

I became obsesed with hot hot heat after the debut of Elevator. I couldn't believe that this band could become anymore upbeat. That is untill I listened to this album. It is simply the kind of cd that you want to listen to very LOUD while jumping around because otherwise there would be too much energy trapped inside of you. Well I guess you could jog to it too or something if you are more practical, but anyways this is a GREAT ALBUM especially if your a indie rock fan.

Sing-A-Long fun.......2006-09-06

This is party music with a 80's new-wave vibe. Every song is a hit and it's so catchy that some of the songs will stay in your head long after hearing them. Get it!

Nothing like before..........2006-08-03

When you first hear them your like "what was that?" 10 great songs to dance to, even "In cairo" the slow ballad of which he is not sure of. The whole album is full of yelping and screaming, well not much screaming more melodic. Catchy, but fast some might say to fast as one learns in the first single "bandages". having many rhymes and truths about life that come out subtlely (not sure if it is spelled right) "Make up the breakdown" is Dance, sing, catchy, truthful, and awesome!

Super Happy Funky & Energizing!!!.......2006-07-29

Every time I listen to this album, I have to jump up and down!!! Lot's of fast tempo beats and super fun lyrics! I highly recommend it!

great CD.......2006-07-21

i completely love this whole album. what's great about it is that you can never get any of these songs confused with another on the CD, each song has something different and special about it. "bandages" and "this town" are great songs. as well as everything else on the cd. but those are just my favorites. it's definately worth owning.

Album Description

Featuring original music composed by Alberto Iglesias. Adapted from the best-seller John le Carre's romantic thriller, two-time Academy Award nominee Ralph Fiennes and Rachel Weisz head the cast of "The Constant Gardener." In a remote area of northern Kenya, the dedicated activist Tessa Quayle (Weisz) is found brutally murdered. Her travelling companion, a local doctor, appears to have fled the scene and the evidence points to a crime of passion. Sandy Woodrow (Danny Huston), Sir Bernard Pellegrin (Bill Nighy), and other member of the British High Commission assume that Tessa's widower, their mild-mannered colleague Justin Quayle (Fiennes) will leave the matter to their discretion. They could not be more wrong... Featuring music performed by acclaimed Kenyan percussionist and Real World recording artist Ayub Ogada, Alberto Iglesias' ("La Mala Educacion," "The Dancer Upstairs," "Todo Sobre Mi Madre") lush score evokes the film's compelling African and European landscapes.

Beautiful Score.......2007-04-24

For someone like me who purchases soundtracks for the score to use for dance & skating programs, this soundtrack definitely made it into my collection. My only minus to the soundtrack is that there isn't much variety among the many tracks. But I am still able to work around it.

Only track 13.......2007-03-31

In my opinion, only track 13 is worthy of buy this CD. Track 13 is beautiful, other than that extremely depressing music...... Once again track 13 is the most beautiful adn touching music that I have ever heard!

Great Service.......2007-02-12

My CD was delivered in a very timely manner and the product was in great shape upon arrival.

A nice reminder of a very moving movie.......2007-01-12

Favorite songs are the ones by Ayub Ogada. I think it's wonderful that we found his music through this film.

it captures the spirit of the movie.......2006-11-10

I like this soundtrack because it reminds me of the movie, which I loved. I am not sure I would appreciate it much if I hadn't seen the movie and didn't have pictures in my mind for each theme. It is redolent of Africa though and that in itself is satisfying.

Those who doubt the obsessive, unbridled affection Clash mainstay Joe Strummer held for traditional rock and R&B roots need only punch up virtually any track on this infectious collection of live and studio cuts from the 101ers, the raw yet accomplished band Strummer fronted just prior to his punk superstardom. While most such early-catalog excavations are suspicious and often spotty, Elgin Avenue Breakdown Revisited is a revelatory rush, from the opening blowout of "Letsagetabitarockin'." Many of the tracks rock with the rootsy charm of fellow pub rockers Ducks Deluxe, yet one can hear the later sound of the Clash nearly fully formed on tracks like the blue-beat-seasoned "Sweet Revenge," "Keys to Your Heart," and "Junco Partner." The collection's second half kicks into even higher gear, presenting a generous slate of previously unreleased live workouts that hammer familiar R&B staples like "Shake Your Hips" and "Maybellene" into submission and closing with a frenzied rave-up of Van Morrison and Them's Brit Invasion staple, "Gloria." --Jerry McCulley

Elgin Ave. Breakdown.......2007-01-10

This is a great album. I just wish there was more 101ers to listen to.

I've Got Rabies From the Dogs of Love for This Album!.......2006-04-04

This is the first review of an album I've done on Amazon. I'm listening to it right now, and I'm just driven to tell everyone.... this is awesome! I love it. It is a must for fans of Joe Strummer. Don't expect The Clash. This is nothing like any Clash album. This is very Beatles-esque for the most part. It shows a lot of early, leather-clad rock influence.

BTW, I bought the club version, which is manufactured for BMG. I was worried about that a bit, but no longer. Sounds awesome, and the packaging is excellent, with liner notes and lyrics. I was also worried about the anti-piracy notes on the back which are not present on the non-club version. I burn backup copies of my cds not to pirate, but to use in my car. I have successfully burned a backup copy of this and other club cds.

I can't believe I found this.......2006-01-15

"Lonely Mother's Son," huh? More like Jail Guitar Doors. That track brought a big smile to my face as soon as the chorus started and I realized it was the song he'd later do as part of The Clash.

This CD is a real find, not just for completists, but for fans of old school rock and roll, and of Strummer's growling voice. If this was a little more polished and edited down, it would be London Calling quality. It's really that good. The sound quality on the live stuff is awful, but I don't wish they had left it off.

Bloody brilliant!.......2005-08-31

This record feels like a resurrection not only of the sound of original punk but of the man, Joe Strummer himself. The sound of the 101ers is every bit as fresh as his later work with The Mescaleros yet takes its place with the music of its time. Letsagetabitarockin, the first on the album, is a brilliant start to the collection. Overall this record is one that should be added to any avid Clash, punk, or in general rock 'n roll fan.

Joe Strummer was cool........2005-08-14

You know you can't get enough of Joe's modernized 40's/50's macho, so buy this disc.

You could easily call this reissue a lost treasure, as it came and went after its 1979 release, not even seeing much light after bandleader Arthur Blythe and his six colleagues reached critical acclaim and success. Blythe counts this loose session as a paean to Harlem, where the assemblage of sounds and rhythms along Lenox Avenue translates into an amalgam not unlike the mix of James "Blood" Ulmer's funk-painted guitar strum backed by the twin engines of drummer Jack DeJohnette and percussionist Guillermo Franco, each of whom makes a sky-crying racket. They do so, surely, in a fit of inspiration, sitting as they are behind a potent frontline: Blythe on alto sax; James Newton on flute; and Bob Stewart on tuba. A tuba on the frontline? Well, in truth, these chaps are all playing the frontline, really. Newton's so revolutionary on the flute that his Rahsaan Roland Kirk-isms make for great rhythm, and his intricate Eric Dolphy-isms cut sharp harmony. Blythe takes his notes seriously as little living things, but his art is in the web work and the melodies. Stewart plays the chameleon, doing tempo a while and then showing slippery riffs galore to the band. Very little in jazz--much less major-label jazz, which this was--around 1979 could match this recording. And now it's back. --Andrew Bartlett

probably no more than a name, but if not, hopefully, someone who knows for sure will provide information, the breakdown first occurred, at least in my collection of jazz, with louis armstrong's recording of chicago breakdown.

the recording at hand. blythe's recording is just outrageously great. the lineup is great and worth the purchase, james newton, cecil mcbee, jack dejohnette, bob stewart who was a member of lester bowie's brass fantasy, james 'blood' ulmer, and guillermo franco. the songs are great,written, every one of them, by arthur blythe. and the title song, had it no jazz name tradition (the poet, amiri baraka, dedicated a poem, entitled: in the tradition, to arthur blythe) lenox avenue breakdown would still stand, does still stand, a great piece of music on a recording of great music.

Flawless, Inspiring, Essential.......2006-01-16

This is one of my all-time favorite recordings. It's rare when concept and execution so perfectly meet. Arthur Blythe had been playing the New York loft scene for some years before this album, exploring a wide range of musical settings (tuba and conga, quintet featuring cello, etc.) and avant-garde stylings. He said he used the tuba because it reminded him of old New Orleans music, and he saw it as a way to stayed rooted in the tradition while pushing forward musically. Blythe's playing itself was/is very individual, a fat, warm sound that seems impossible to get out of an alto, with a lot of Coltane inspiration but he definitely has his own voice--you could pick him out in a blindfold listening test in about two seconds. Anyway, on this album he got to take his explorations a bit further and managed to get some big name players to help out, like Jack DeJohnette, James Blood Ulmer, James Newton and Cecil McBee. The result is less austere than the albums Blythe made before this (Metamorphosis, Bush Baby), still true to an avant-garde exploratory spirit, but often melodic and lush, full of the blues, eminently accessible to almost any jazz fan.

The first two songs are great, but it's songs three and four that make this album transcendent. "Slidin' Through" has an earthy blues theme that's complemented by a slightly atonal riff by Ulmer, a wonderful McBee solo right after the head, played while the band keeps a subdued vamp going, DeJohnette doing some of that great bob-and-weave rhythm-keeping that's his trademark, then Bythe comes in and opens it up, and from there the song builds and builds, with passionate, rapid-fire interaction between Blythe and DeJohnette, and DeJohnette taking the song out with so much power, pushing everyone in the band--there's no tension/release when the song's theme is played at the end, things aren't over--it keeps a blistering amount of energy going through all the way to the fade-out.

This song was cited by Rafi Zabor in his novel "The Bear Comes Home" (recommended in its own right) as an example of why mere mortal musicians feared the prospect of playing with Mr. DeJohnette. He wasn't an accompanist, he was a force of nature, kicking everyone's musical behinds until they were all playing their utmost.

The next song, "Odessa", is very loose, Blythe melodically soloing over a meter-less rhythm section, kind of like Coltrane, with a slow, deep, almost mournful feel--for years I have hit the "repeat" button to hear that solo over and over, it's so emotionally enagaging...

Anyway, this is definitely a desert-island disc for me. I've played it for jazz fans of all stripes and everyone has found something to like in it.

Superb, soon to be classic recording.......2005-09-28

When I first got this LP in '79 I wore it out. From its opening notes this release makes an impression with an air of textural sophistication and swing. It's an outing by players completely at ease with their virtuosity. Nothing is pressed or forced here. It's simultaneously adventurous in composition and soloing and unpretentious. The arrangements feel organic. DeJohnette, Ulmer, McBee, Franco and Newton all acquit themselves really well. Bob Stewart's tuba playing is rock steady and funky and makes you wonder why more ensembles bottoms aren't anchored by a tuba. The focal point of it all, Blythe, solos crisply and smartly and leads one of the great group efforts of the last 30 years.

All In A Name.......2003-08-01

Like the sun, Blythe's hot joyous sax boils up and flares, but the flute refreshes, the rhythms crackle, and there're enough hooks here to fill a curtain rod. You just gotta love this kind of breakdown -- not since college English have you heard such radical deconstruction. And not since Armstrong's Hot Seven have you heard such great tuba. Welcome back, Black Arthur, the blithe.

A Perfect Breakdown.......2003-02-08

Despite its much too long in coming reissue, Lenox Avenue remains a largely unknown jazz classic, at least to those too young or too old to have followed the scene close enough when it originally came out. In my mind, it's a must have, an essential CD. No jazz lover should be without this magical send up. The unusual instrumentation and the harmonic awareness of these musicians melds groove and melody with the seemless free improvisation that marked the era to form the most cogent piece of late '70s jazz now available.

How much does this work mean to me? The lump in my gut the day my LP version of Lenox broke while moving wasn't removed until it was finally reissued.

You want heavy, this is heavy!!.......2006-12-02

I really love moshcore, it's the most angry, and and loudest! Bassist Aaron was right, it'll make your heart pump faster! In my opinion, "House Of Straw", "Twelth Stroke Of Midnight", "Trail Of Crumbs", "Let Down Your Hair", and "Second Star At The Right" are the best tracks in this album.

1."House Of Straw" 11/10- Beginning was great, awesome screaming! "Holding hands with a liar!"

2."A Glass Slipper" 10/10- Began with Mat screaming out TAKE IT BACK!! This was fast and really good!

3."Poison Apple" 9.5/10- This was OK, the beginning sounded kinda werid.

4."Twelth Stoke Of Midnight" 11/10- The intro was great! With heavy guitars and love when Mat screams very fast.

5."Trail Of Crumbs" 10/10- The beginning was awesome! One of my favorites.

6."A Wishing Well" 10/10- Great screaming! Intro began with Mat's awesome screaming!

7."Let Down Your Hair" 10/10- I love this song! Love when they go "I hear your heart, and it sounds the bells of WAR!!

8."Mirror, Mirror" 9/10- This song was a little slower at the beginning, with drumming at the intro, and some parts were kinda catchy.

9."Second Star To the Right" 10/10- The beginning was awesome! This is another one of my favorites. Love when Mat goes "my faith in humanity died, calling out her name!"

10."The Enchanted Rose"- nothing special

11."House Of Brick" 10/10- I love this song! Great guitars at the beginning too, and tremendous screaming in this song, so beautiful.

This album was amazing! Heavy guitars! Mat's angry, grumpy, and loud screaming! And great, fast drumming too!

Definitely worth the money.......2006-09-19

These guys were at the Family Values Tour this year, and they were one of the best bands there. They played some songs off of this album and I'm going to buy it now. It says a lot about a band when they're good live and not just in the recording studio. If you like scream metal this CD is worth picking up.

Heavy, Heavy, Heavy.......2006-09-03

A very good cd from the band currently touring on the Family Values Tour this year. And from someone who saw them live on said tour, they do not disappoint in any way, shape or form. Get ready for hard, heavy riffs, and prepare to have a headache when it's all over with.

Quite the satisfying skullcracker.......2006-08-21

Due to the recent popularity resurgence of heavy metal (particularly hardcore influenced metal), a number of cool bands have kind of slipped through the cracks and are unjustifiably dismissed as being an untalented Johnny-come-lately. Consider Bury Your Dead: there are several other mosh/hardcore groups out there today and some of them are fairly popular, so bands like this one are sometimes passed off as a poor man's Hatebreed. But BYD should be (and probably will become) quite a bit more popular, because this genre has many loyal fans, and "Beauty And The Breakdown" (the Boston-based quintet's junior release) is actually very good. The musicianship and songwriting on display here are, while not awe-inspiring, completely solid and professional. The songs ooze with blistering guitars and cement-block-to-your-head drums which accumulate to produce catchy, brutal rhythms. And, of course, the songs are made complete when straight-from-the-gut (though generic) vocals and powerful, well-placed breakdowns are added. Album highlights are the super-heavy, churning rhythms on the two opening tracks ("House Of Straw" and "A Glass Slipper"), the explosive, bulldozing "The Poison Apple," the rapid power chords and propulsive, driving double bass work which fuels "A Wishing Well," and the door closing "House Of Brick," which sounds like a waterfall spewing...uh...bricks. Ultimately, "BATB" is nothing you haven't heard before, but that's a small price to pay for the immense levels of great energy and brute force found here.

moshcore masters return.......2006-08-14

Bury your dead are baco with their fourth album, "Beauty and the breakdown". Sort of a concept album in the very loosest term, the booklet for the story tells a "fairytale" about a corrupt king. This album is just as heavy and brutal as the previous three, except the band experiments just a little bit with keyboards on a couple tracks on here, but they make it work . A very good album from a very good band

Bluegrass Breakdown: 14 Instrumentals.......2007-05-16

This product was delivered on Monday, April 16th to the wrong address. The postal service is very uncooperative.They supposedly have put a trace on it.So as of today I have still not received my CD which was for a wedding in April. I finally figured out how to email Amazon last week and I still haven't heard anything from them either. I do a lot of shopping on line, but this has been a real bad experience, especially with the P.O.

good but not great.......2007-03-23

This album was good, not great. If you want to hear great then get Tony Rice the bluegrass album or another one called "ultimate Pickin'" , for bluegrass with singing try ricky skaggs at charleston hall. Those are great albums, this was okay.

Great bluegrass -- Excellent value.......2003-01-05

All-instrumental collections of bluegrass are hard to find, and if you like it when a band takes a break from singing and just plays their instruments, here's your chance for total immersion. All the songs on this compilation are from Rounder Records albums released 1976-1998, by artists with familiar names like Alison Krauss and Tony Rice, and others you may never have heard of. All are first rate, foot stompin' renditions of bluegrass traditionals, with a few great originals -- Bill Monroe's "Bluegrass Breakdown" and Earl Scruggs' "Foggy Mountain Chimes." Best known for most listeners is a rousing version of "Orange Blossom Special" by the Johnson Mountain Boys. If you like bluegrass with plenty of pickin' at breakneck speed, this CD will keep you smilin' through many, many replays.

I liked only the tracks 1 and 6. The songs have good banjo picking but are not beautiful enough to keep me listening more than one time.

Bluegrass Breakdown.......2000-09-04

...It's a shame the scale only goes to 5 stars,because this CD is...if you know and love Bluegrass is of the best I've heard in a long time..not withstanding the major bands out there!!!...If you crave Bluegrass.....GET THIS CD.....!!!!

Good instrumental.......2007-02-05

THis is a good instrumental bluegrass album. It is not as good as "ultimate Pickin'" . That was an amazing album but this isn't bad.

We need more of this!.......2005-09-03

Bravo CMH - this is what we need. Bluegrass instrumentals are quite rare these days and the best of them were done in the 1970's. CMH have delivered a fine package for the bluegrasser who prefers not to listen to a bluegrass voice which often detracts from the fine acoustic music. Let us be honest and say that many singers have B-Awful voices and instrumentals like this terrific collection are wonderful to locate. Thank you CMH.

Bluegrass magic.......2003-10-03

There are lots of wonderful Bluegrass albums around, but this one is really great. I recommend it very highly, and would give it more than five stars if possible. Every song is brilliant and it is impossible to single out any one track as better than the rest. Even non-bluegrass fans would enjoy this album if they like first-rate musicians plying their trade. A truly excellent album!
