He is erratic, moody, adolescent, and unsettling, just as he is strikingly brilliant, and all depictions entwine on this collection that plucks from Daniel Johnston's most memorable work throughout a quarter-century of bare-bones recording. While his helium-pitched voice can often border on acquired taste territory, Johnston, who suffers from bipolar disorder, writes both gripping melodies and cutting, cunning lyrics--often about failed love, life's ambiguity and his passion for the Beatles and comic book heroes. Any Johnston follower might choose 21 different selections to represent such a catalog, but this package--culled mostly from his '80s songbook--is both symbolic and inclusive, including a pair of chord organ grinders that are among his most familiar: the childlike "Casper the Friendly Ghost" and the wistful "Speeding Motorcycle." Johnston's raw vulnerability shines most on "Never Before Never Again," on which he howls about a former girlfriend, and the fragmented and demented "Funeral Home," where he contemplates his last car ride (to the tune of Bruce Springsteen's "Cadillac Ranch"). Welcome to My World is ideal for any newcomers to Johnston's music, provided they are willing to peel away his torment and contemplate his true genius. --Scott Holter

Perfect entry for the genius of Daniel.......2006-09-22

Almost every song from this compiliation is present as soundtrack to The Devil and Daniel Johnston. If you want to enter in thsi strange but beautiful world, a schizo Dylan that someday took LSD from the devilish [....] Surfers, this is the one to get. Then, if you become a fan (it happens, eheh), you should try his masterpiece - Songs of Pain 80-83.

Perfect Companion for "The Devil and Daniel Johnston".......2006-05-16

It should first be noted that the music of Daniel Johnston is not for everyone -- you will either love him or hate him, most will feel the latter. His voice sounds like a 14 year old who got into the parents' liquor cabinet, but like Bob Dylan, it's the perfect vehicle for his material. I recommend the excellent documentary currently playing in art movie theaters to learn about this unique singer songwriter's incredible life --you couldn't make up a story as sadly surreal. His music is best appreciated if you understand his history and are familiar with his artwork (his pen and ink cartoon-like drawings go for thousands of dollars). His songs, like his artwork, are replete with symbols and references to his internal mythology, a conglomeration of cartoons, comic books and fire and brimstone religion.
Welcome to My World is sort of a greatest hits of his early work, mostly recorded on cheap tape machines and often given away to people on the street. Daniel bares his soul -- listening to his music is like awkwardly being trapped with a stranger you run into, obviously a little off center, who rattles on providing too much information about his innermost feelings. But no other artist I have heard captures the angst of adolescence quite as well as Daniel, and his sense of melody, his ability to convey complex feelings with the simplest language, is brilliant. Strange, moving, disturbing stuff, an emotional car wreck that you just can't look away from. If you like the off beat and stark emotional honesty in your music, check him out.

Album Description

One of the most dominant bands of the '90s is back. Fueled by the powerful songwriting of Art Alexakis, the single "Hater" is a return to the sound that scored Everclear several multi-platinum hits on alternative rock and MTV, including mainstays like "Santa Monica", "Father Of Mine", "Everything To Everyone", "I Will Buy You A New Life", and "Wonderful".

Customer Reviews:

Different band, same direction.......2007-06-18

With a new band lead singer Alexakis take the group in a slightly different musical direction. While the lyrics are the same familiar style of previous albums the music is more creative and less powerful than their previous work. Still, when needed they punch out emotional and hard rocking songs like "Hater" and "Taste of Hell". I found this album really grew quickly, but it took a few listens. Unlike many who have reviewed their music I feel that they are getting better with every release, creative yet true to their style. Standouts for me are "Now", "Hater", "Drama King", "Glorious", and "Portland Rain". Each song is creative and brings something to the table. I remember cranking their music over 12 years ago in Seattle and it's nice to see them continue growing as a band. True fans will not be disappointed.

RETURN TO FORM.......2007-03-30

This is their best since so much for the afterglow. There are some weak tracks especially the single Hater. I really hate that song. Overall it's really good album. I reccomend it. I think Drama king is my favorite track. Glorious, Clean, Broken, Portland Rain are great songs too.

Thank you Art & the New Everclear.......2007-03-25

I was surprised to have found this album. I thought after Slow Motion Day Dream (which in my humble opinion was horrible considering the Volume 1 & 2 releases prior to it).

So Art finds some new band mates that give the Faded Everclear some much needed Sparkle.

I think this is a great return to form & one of my favorite albums by this group, it's got that raw edgy feel but with maturity & musical growth.

Hater - is the typical single you would expect from this band but I like many do not deem it my favorite.

The real Stand outs are:
*The Drama King ("losing my mind, nothing seems right, don't know who I am anymore, losing the fight, I hate my life, I wish that it was easier to be in love") Excellent work Art. Guitars are so cool on this!

*Glorious - Wow, some what of a recycled start from a previous album but when it kicks off, you tend to ignore such a small glitch, love the Guitar lead into the track..."you were shining in the white light, like a fairy-tale movie star, never really thought I would find snow white in a downtown bar...I could never believe that you wanted to be with me") - This definitely is a great track!

*A Taste of Hell - Everclear really get funky on this one & most notable track on the 12 track, great to turn this one up - the best track on the album, again minus the intro...this one we find Art at his best in lyrical form "the awful truth is that you broke my heart, yeah now I'm gonna break yours too...I know I will forgive you when I give you a taste of hell" - very well thought out track musically!!

*Broken - a bit more laid back, a bit comforting to tell you the truth for anyone that's faced hard-times, again with excellent lyrics: "I wish I could push a button & make the pain all go away, wish I had the magic words but I don't know what to say, take the wasted years & throw em all away, might sound easy/simple for me to say, you are going to find a way to fix what's broken...all those big dreams that were so important, they don't mean anything know, all you need is love, love is all you need to fix what's broken."

*Arizona Room, but this should not have been a track shared by Art's daughter Annabelle towards the end where there's some weird stuff going on, Annabelle - please don't make your Dad put your music on his CD's when the man is trying to reclaim rock status!!!
"Sometimes it is easy to believe that a broken thing can never be whole, just another night in a hotel room, another bad dream...every time we talk I find another piece of the puzzle in me that I never really got to know." Noteworthy is the more punk-rock tune, hidden track at the very demise of the disc.

But all in all, there is something for every one on this disc depending on what type of Everclear tune you as a Everclear Fan prefer, if you are looking for more of a Volume 2 hard-edge rock feel than the track Under The Western Stars is right up your alley - the amps should have been turned up on that one as it sounds a bit more like a B-Side.

If you are looking for more of the pop side than: Now, Shine & Shameless Use of Charm will do it for you.

If you are looking for some of the quieter mid-tempo moments: Portland Rain & Clean (which is Art's tale of father-hood woes it seems) are going to be for you. These 2 tracks are a bit more reminiscent of the 'Sparkle & Fade' Era. However I feel the tracks Portland Rain & Clean are a bit weaker in comparison to the rest of the album.

All in all - a good re-birth for a band I hope produces more fantastic music that Art & his new musical comrades are capable of. I think this is more of an A grade to A- effort, surely their next will supersede all expectations & reclaim their place in a world full of bad Good Charlotte & other Pop Artists Teeny Bopper music.

A very nice surprise.......2007-03-15

I was fully expecting to hate this CD. I love Everclear's oldies, but honestly, could find nothing I liked on Slow Motion Daydream. In my opinion, the better part of the content of that CD was crass, and most of the rest just wasn't very inspiring or creative. Therefore, I figured that Art had just run out of steam...once he had exhausted his supply of songs focusing on drug abuse (Sparkle and Fade, So Much for the Afterglow) and relationship issues (Songs From an American Movie), I wasn't sure what else he could write about - bankruptcy doesn't seem like a very appealing subject. :)

I'd listened to Hater online and really didn't think too much of it - kind of repetitive and sounded like it could have come off Slow Motion Daydream, but after reading the reviews here, I realized that those who were slagging this CD were actually slagging the band, not the CD (see my comment in response to one). Think what you may of the band, but this is a review of the album, regardless of the make up of the band or your views on Art Alexakis. So, after seeing them live recently (they rocked!) and liking Portland Rain live, I bought the album in the hopes that I'd at least get a song or two that would be listenable.

It really is an easy CD to listen to first time - something that's hard to achieve in anything but a radio-happy sell out. Subsequent listens take you deeper and deeper into the layers of the songs, and the content is definitely there. What I'm enjoying about this album is that the characters have been developed. The Drama King is reminiscent of some earlier songs that demonstrate empathy for the female perspective (Amphetamine and others), while the confessional Now shows a personal growth I haven't seen in Art's writing previously. Portland Rain, while a beautiful demonstration of longing, maintains its angry edge and doesn't descend into self-pity. Clean is a touching plea to his daughter, and one that most parents can relate to - wanting the best for their child and hoping like hell you don't let them down.

For the most part, Art seems to have got his head together, but then, we've all thought he's done that before (as he's probably thought also). There's definite growth in his writing on this album, and musically, this is a creative, diverse offering. Maybe that's thanks to the new line-up, or maybe it's Art back on track. Whatever, it's good - the larger band definitely gives the album a fuller sound without turning to fluff.

I guess my only gripes are the name and cover - I mean really, how cliche? If you can get past that though, you'll enjoy it - well, until you hit Annabella's truly horrid and cringe-worthy rap/harmonica piece right before Your Arizona Room. I don't know what Art had done that he had to make it up to his 13 year old daughter by giving her a "silent" track amongst the actual CD (seriously, Art, could you not have let her do it after a 10 minute silence after the last track or something? No, Art, it isn't cute, and she isn't that talented...why don't you sponsor her own CD so it doesn't screw up yours?), but it is terrible. Annabella, sweetie, if you're reading this, I'm sorry and keep trying to create music, but don't make your Daddy put it on his CD when he's trying to make a come back, ok?

Right, now that's out of my system, my overall impression of the CD is that this is a worthy return to form after the dismal Slow Motion Daydream. Welcome back!

I love it when you call me baby, baby.......2007-02-04

I first heard "Hater" around June or July of last year and couldn't wait for the rest of the album to be released. I have to say that I was and still am a little bit disappointed in "Hater" and agree with some who say that it is the weakest track on the album. But, it still has a great point and some amazing lyrics. Of course this is NOT the old Everclear, duh, it has new members so therefore a NEW sound. You cannot have success without change, and frankly, I think this change is for the better. Everclear has grown up, I believe. It is less teenage rock and more mid-life rock about having children, disappointment, and divorce. Tracks like Portland Rain and Your Arizona Room are my favorite. They are sad yet so incredibly meaningful, it's Art singing your life. This album is refreshing and truly a new, respectable sound for the band and for all that so called music that's out there now. This isn't something you'll hear churned out on the airwaves and that's why I've always stuck with Everclear, three or five. If you want OLD SCHOOL Everclear, listen to Colorfinger and stay in the nineties. "Welcome to the Drama Club" is music for today and tomorrow.

Released shortly after his death in 1993, The Yellow Shark represents one of the only accurate performances of Frank Zappa's "serious" orchestral music--at least as far as the composer was concerned. Assembled from a series of sold-out performances in Germany by the Ensemble Moderne, the set includes re-workings of old favorites like "The Dog Breath Variations" and "Uncle Meat," live arrangements of some of his hairiest computer music like "The Girl in the Magnesium Dress" and "G-Spot Tornado" and new works by Zappa composed specifically for the event. The performances are astonishing and the music? Pure Zappa. --Andrew Boscardin

Album Description

The 26-member Ensemble Modern performs FZ's 'most-humanly-impossible-to-play' compositions. Piano duets, string quintets & small ballets. Simply exquisite, with a 60-page booklet to explain it all. Originally released in 1993, it stayed on the classical chart for most of `94. Includes the tracks 'Outrage At Valdez,' 'None Of The Above,' & 'Welcome To The United States', plus arrangements of some of the most fiendishly difficult pieces from FZ's back catalogue & even a 'greatest hit' or two (some would pick this as the definitive version of 'Dog Breath Variations'). Sadly, this was the last album released by FZ during his lifetime. The didipak and the booklet are housed in a slipcase. Rykodisc.

Dedicated to experts?.......2007-06-25

Frank Zappa was very proud of this great and difficult work done at the end of his (too short) life.
It requires also great concentation and a capability that probably I don't have to well understand this kind of experimental classic music.
It goes beyond the experimental rock that is typical of many of his works, leading him to the level of great contemporary experimental classic composers.
Given such a level of difficulty I don't know how much I can suggest to buy it. You just should try to hear at this music and decide if it does fit with your soul (how could I believe just a few years ago that today I would like so much 'Your funeral my trial' of Nick Cave?)

Zappa Attempts Stockhausen.......2007-02-13

FZ goes to Germany to upstage Karlheinz and tries an avant garde stage performance which is an elegant and popular form of expression in Germany. The Germans have perfected this type of marriage between romanticism and neoclassicism. In this case it's an overly technical performance, a display. The orchestra all sound good yet Zappa has given the music to another conductor, Peter Rundel. There is no rhythm section and without a background the result is too intellectual.

The Yello Shark, performed by the Modern Music Ensemble.......2007-01-19

This CD addresses the more serious, compositional aspect of Frank Zappa's career, and it could not be addressed in a more suitable manner. It includes some of FZ's more difficult works, such as "Bee Bop Tango", "Uncle Meat", and "G-Spot Tornado". The conductor is Peter Rundel, and as Zappa says himself, he is a fine conductor. This is highly recommended for anyone who has already developed a taste for Zappa's complex and imaginative arrangements.

ZAP!.......2006-01-20

Trying to define this album to my good friend was hard. "Well it's Zappa's songs done with an orechestra, but's not really classical sounding . . . it's just Zappa." And my friend just simply nodded and said "Sounds awesome." and i realized that if any reviewer would've just said 'It's Zappa!' it wouldn't take much more to sway me. so - It's Zappa! And it's damn near perfect it's so good! Riveting!!!

Be warned! You may like nobody (musically or real life) or anything (musically or real life) ever again after listening to this album, but it's not that big of a deal!

A Frank Zappa Treasure. Better than many of his CDs.......2005-07-29

`The Yellow Shark', with words and music by Frank Zappa is a collection of `chamber music' pieces recorded in 1993 in Germany, performed by a German orchestra, `Ensemble Modern', which, I believe, commissioned Herr Zappa to assemble these pieces for their concerts. In the accompanying booklet, Frank is pictured with a baton in hand, but the credits only have him conducting three pieces, those with a very significant spoken word aspect (all spoken in English). He also makes a brief appearance at the beginning of the CD where he introduces the Ensemble Modern conductor, Peter Rundel.

This recording is probably one of the very last to be done by Zappa himself, before his unexpected death due to illness. Of all the musical figures of the 1960s lost to us over the years, I miss Zappa almost as much as I miss John Lennon, and I am very happy that if we had to lose them, it was not to drugs or any other kind of self abuse.

There are fourteen musical pieces and three `spoken word' pieces on the recording. I confess that the spoken word pieces may actually be a bit dated, especially the `Welcome to the United States' track on a questionnaire for immigrants which makes a reference to terrorism which may seem entirely too glib in our current environment.

Two of the earliest tracks `Dog Breath Variations' and `Uncle Meat' are instantly recognizable from their music and titles as `quotes' from earlier albums, with very little `classical' varnish over their strongly jazzy sound. Most of the other musical pieces have more subtle quotes from earlier Zappa works, and demonstrate influences from George Gershwin, Kurt Weill, the movie music from `Spartacus', and his old mentor, Edgar Varese.

I noticed that the applause on these tracks was louder than the music and I was wondering whether the audience was appreciating the music itself or the presence of that formidable 1960's icon, Frank Zappa. I'm sure it was a little bit of both, but Zappa and audience couldn't resist quoting from one of his best albums, `The Mothers Fillmore East - June 1971'.

I think this quote was entirely appropriate, in that we owe so much musical innovation to the popular musical performers who were nutured by 1960's, producing such wonders as Zappa and the great bands such as The Rolling Stones and The Who, who are still scoring our artistic perceptions on both commercials and dramatic themes on TV.

This may not be Zappa's greatest album, but it is one of his cleanest. Like `Hot Rats', there is very little `throw away' material. And, it is one of the very few pop or classical recordings by a major musical figure where you will hear the performance of a didgeridoo (Australian aborigonal flute).

Highly recommended for Zappa fans and fans of 1960s music in general.

I was extremely excited when this cd first came out because it marked KURUPT'S return to the Dogghouse family, he had already dropped the 2nd DPG album but this was first time with Snoop and them. So I was excited about this release, was it worth the anticipation?

1.SISTERS N BROTHERS-an excellent start to the album, although to me this sounds like a song one would use to end an album. But still this is an excellent song featuring J BLACK, SNOOP DOGG, & MIRA MIRA. J Black is excellent on the vocals handling the hook nicely, and Snoop hits up some nice verses laying it down with some serious lyrics. This is the Snoop I want to see more often, not all that radio stuff he seems to be doing a lot of these days. Also Mira Mira comes in at the end with some nice vocals to take us out to "March to the revolution", and the beat by JELLY ROLL is excellent.4.8/5

2.SHAKE THAT S***-now I don't see how we went from the previous song into this one, but none the less this is a decent song. The beat from TERRACE MARTIN while kinda simplistic, still knocks hard. Also I like TIFFANY FOXX and her flow, she isn't the greatest female mc but she isn't the worst. The only real problem with this song is Snoop, he just doesn't sound right on this track.4/5

3.JUST THE WAY YOU LIKE IT-next up we have an r&b song by the 9 INCH DIX, and of course Snoop is all over this song {he should let people get shine on their own and stop doing his P Diddy thing}. The song altogether isn't all that great, but the hook and the beat are good [THE BEAT IS ACTUALLY EXCELLNT]. The beat from SOOPAFLY [who is also on the song] is smooth and catchy like the chorus. Also on a side note HALF DEAD appears on this song.4/5

4.REMEMBER ME-we follow that song with another r&b track, and this one fairs better. This song could be a nice single for the album, and could help move more units. JAMES has a nice voice and handles the song greatly, and the beat from LARRANCE is smooth and cool.4/5

5.REAL SOON-finally we come to a song with KURUPT "Young Gotti", and it was worth the wait. This is an excellent song from the reformed DPGC and was a nice choice for a single. The song as a feel to it that reminds me of the early G-Funk days during the early 90's. From BATTLECAT'S smooth lighthearted beat to the perfect hook from NATE DOGG. Daz kicks things off nicely with his verse, and Snoop sounds good on this track as he helps with the hook. And of course you know Kurupt held down the best verse on the track. Nate as well sings a great final verse with his infectious vocals. CLASSIC.5/5

6.SUNSHINE-J Black returns to grace us with his wonderful voice, in this nice little track. It's a cool track that was a good addition to the album, thanks in part to a smooth jazzy instrumental from Terrance Martin & MARLON WILLIAMS. J Black rides the track nicely with some smooth vocals, this track could have been a nice single.4.5/5

7.CAN'T FIND MY PANTIES-T Foxx returns with a much better song then the previous track, keeping with her more sexual side like the other. This track has a great beat from LT HUTTON, matched with great verses from Foxx. Over all this is a much better song then her previous attempt.4.5/5

8.WE WEST COAST-finally Kurupt returns to this album with a nice verse, not his best though. Still though Kurupt holds it down for his reformed Fam, and Daz comes in with a nice verse as well. To my surprise though Snoop came with a good verse after dropping an annoying hook. The thing holding this song back the most though is the beat, the beat by JOSEF is good with a cool sound but it sounds to much like a snoop beat. Daz sounds alright with it, but Kurupt sounds out of place on this beat to me, it might just be me.3.5/5

9.DINNER IN BED-I have got to be honest with you on this one, I didn't see this one coming. This song sounds like some Tori Amos/Dido stuff right here, from the beat to the lyrics to the over all sound. I don't know what attracted Snoop to this but what ever. To be honest the beat from MIRA MIRA who also preformed the song is actually kinda tight, I like the instruments that were used, it reminds me of something but I don't know what. And Mira herself has an excellent voice, so I guess this was a good inclusion to the album.3/5

10.IF-again Snoop can't help but get on everyone's song, this track would have been fine with just J Black doing the hook instead of Snoop doing it with him, he really needs to stop trying to be Diddy. But other ten that this track is cool, WENDI and YN do nicely on this song with nice vocals. And the beat from Terrance Martin is pretty good, I like the flute in it.3.5/5

11.NOTORIOUS DPG-now this is what I really wanted right here, LADY OF RAGE, RBX, and Kurupt sharing a track. X kicks things off with an excellent verse, and Kurupt comes in with one of his best verses in a while. His vicious battle raps on this track got me excited to here his up coming album. Lady Of Rage kicks the final verse with a lethal verse, in fact her verse could really go up against Kurupt's for best verse on the album, great beat from Battlecat.5/5

12.SMOKIN' ALL MY BUD-the 9 Inch Dixx return, and surprise Snoop is all over the track. but over all this song is ok, like their previous track this has a nice beat courtesy of SHON LAWON. Also Half Dead returns on this track.3/5

13.SHINE-MYKESTRO comes tight with this closer track, and this was a brilliant closer song. Dude has a nice flow and some great lyrics, in fact track 11 aside this could be the best song on the album, even rivaling "Real Soon". Each verse is filled with some great vocals, and the beat is excellent, Battlecat really is one of the best producers on the planet. This is definitely single worthy, and a great way to end the album off strong.5/5

So over all this is a decent release, just like most compilation releases this one is a mixed bag. There really wasn't any bad songs, just average ones.

James ROcks.......2006-02-20

Bigg Snoop Dogg Presents Welcome To Tha Chuuch: Tha Album.......2006-01-21

Snoop Dogg's latest musical contribution is "Welcome To Tha Chuuch:Tha Album" (2005) a compilation which features appearances from Snoop's DPGC's family, and some singers I was previously not familiar with. My favourite track is the first one, "Sisters N Brothers" a track where Snoop advocates Peace over War, talks religion, politics and life, in a memorable & heartfelt track, J. Black provides some soulful vocals and Mira Mira makes a late appearance. Feeling the positive lyrics and impressive production on this cut. Three R & B tracks follow, not feeling any of them. Daz, Kurupt, Snoop and Nate Dogg then team up for the slow laidback "Real Soon", a track which vibes well. More inferior R & B tracks follow, then Snoop, Daz and Kurupt rep where they live on the decent "We West Coast". And that's basically the release for me. I respect the fact that Snoop gives newer artists a chance to shine, but very few of them did on this release, instead providing some material which had this reviewer hitting skip. If you are a big Snoop fan you may want to check this one out for the standout tracks, I would not recommend purchasing it though.

Sorry but I'm not feeling it!.......2005-12-22

I'm A Snoop fan but this CD falls way short of Snoop's previous stuff.

I understand that he is presenting new artists but the tracks could've been banging alot harder.

"Real Soon" is about the bangingest track on the whole CD.

Very Mediocre CD, Personally I would advise anyone to stay away from this joint unless you are a die hard Snoop fan.

Speaking as a fan, "Snoop you really let me down on this joint but still got mad luv for ya homie!"

Bigg Snoop Dogg.......2005-12-16

Bigg Snoop Dogg literally comes from nowhere with this release Snoop Dogg Presents Welcome To Da Chuuuch. If you had any expectations from this after listening to the first few Welcome To Da Chuuuch mixtapes then this cd will be a huge disappointment. This is coming from one of Snoop's biggest fans...this album is weak. First off, this is a compilation of mostly new R&B artists so if you are looking for an album with more rapping then singing, this isn't it. Second, there are only 13 songs on the cd, and third there aren't any standout songs on this album. As a matter of fact I don't think this cd even has a single. There are some solid songs though such as James - Remember Me, DPGC reunion track Real Soon, 9 Inch Dix (what kinda name is that? They aren't gonna blow up with that name!) - Smokin on My Bud, and JBlack - Sunshine but the rest of the tracks are filler material. The one new rapper Tiffany Foxxx is borderline horrible and her content is really weak. Overall, this is a cd that you can skip out on and not miss too much...hopefully the next Welcome To Da Chuuch will offer something a little more.
