Product Description
This record will kindle as many relationships as it puts on the ropes. Fab's second single 'Baby' has all the ingredients of a rather tasty, radio friendly slammer with it's sweet production, catchy hook, cheeky samples and that special rap-a-long value. Of course props have to go out to Mike Shorey for adding some sweetness to the mix, but it's Fab that comes up trumps here, proving he's more versatile than lycra and smoother than a baby's bottom! The Radio Version is backed with 'Bubble Gum' (non album track), 'Baby' (feat. Mike Shorey, instrumental) and the video for 'Baby'. Atlantic. 2005.
Also, it has been proven that classical music has nothing to do with the cognitive development of young people. Now, teach them how to play piano or violin and you have yourself an actual YOUNG EINSTEIN, but listening to this kind of music does nothing for the development of the brain. It is just for lazy parents that can't sit down with their kids and play with them or read them a book.
Baby Einstein: Lullaby Classics
The only drawback (and it is not really that big a deal) is that my girls tend to sing along to the songs when they should be focusing on going to sleep! :)
I would not hesitate to recommend this one to my family and friends! We are very happy with this CD.
This album starts out strong: "Took Out A Loan" and "Berlin" (though you have to leave out the iffy lyrics, both songs have great grooves, like some of their best), "Weapon Of Choice" is where things start to go south. The song is a total return to form for the band, and is short and tight, but the chorus just sounds forced to my brain, even though it makes me want to pump my fist.
The Beatles-y "Window" I like, but it sorta derails the album. It's solidly written, but it's the first of bassist/singer Robert Been's contributions to the record that I just don't much dig, because it doesnt' seem to fit. Back to guitarist/singer Peter Hayes' great angsty track "Cold Wind", which fares much better, and encapsulates everything I like about the band. Then comes the string of songs that I inevitably have to skip--"All You Do Is Talk", "Lien On Your Dreams"; really sub-par stuff for a band like this. It gets better; "Need Some Air" and especially "Killing The Light" (the album's best track) bring the album back before the slightly dull "American X", which seems to strive for the vibe of the 'BRMC' album but falls short. It all ends with the slightly anti-climactic "Am I Only"--with it's endlessly repeating 2 chord structure, it's neither really good or bad, it's just there.
Believe me, I don't like to criticize a band I respect as highly as these guys. I just feel they can do better than 60% of this material. I'd hate to see them turn into the kind of band they railed against in "Whatever Happened To My Rock n' Roll?"
It seems far too many popular bands today toil either in the poppy and superficial, or the absurdly inaccessible and needlessly complex.
Given that dichotomy, Black Rebel drives it right down the middle of the fairway (an analogy the band would probably hate). "Baby 81" is smart enough to have meaning, but accessible enough to get heads moving and fists pumping.
For those about to rock, enjoy tracks like "Took Out A Loan", "Berlin", and "Lien On Your Dreams." Although slower tempo tracks like "All You Do Is Talk" and "Killing the Light" are also worth a listen.
The highlight tracks, however, are the first single ("Weapon of Choice") and, for many, the anthem of the album ("American X"). Both are simply brilliant: the former a concise and energetic three minutes and the latter a thundering nine-minute condemnation of the contemporary American mindset. Both act as musical genius and incisive social commentary, at the same time.
Content to share the role of frontman, both Peter Hayes and Robert Levon Been get the job done. Either could carry the show, but the alternating leadership with each song makes for an interesting texture to the album.
As with the rest of their catalog (four albums to date), this is highly, highly recommended.
Hollaback girl ( the banana song) is probably the funniest, craziest song on the CD. But, then there are smooth, slow hits like cool with beautiful music, and catchy lyrics. There are some other faster 80
s-ish dance songs on the track- lots of feel good music. There are even some odd r&b tracks that I don't think fit Stefani best. However, as a new solo artist I think it's fitting to test out some new territories. As far as variety goes though- this one has it.
It definitely leaves me looking forward to her sophmore album.
What can I say, most people have said it all already! The tackiness and narcissism of her lyrics are indescribable, her music seems as if it was roughly programmed by a children's pc, her overall presence as if she was trying to impose her new arrogant self as the latest fashion. And there exactly lies the problem. It is more than likely that Stefani's arrogance simply derives from her belief that her ex-punk persona will help her not only get away with it, but make her look unique and 'uber-cool', thus bringing lots of cash. Only problem is, songs like 'Hollaback girl' and 'Bubble electric' don't make you look 'uber-cool', more like desperate to attract teenage audiences or adult fans that are simply musically illiterate and because of them, talentless bimboes like Jennifer Lopez, Paris Hilton and Beyonce Knowles (yes, and Madonna) that sing cheap vomitting 'songs' and think that dead animals are fashionable and luxurious became rich in the first place. Only thing is, Stefani was never one of the above, and the only thing that saves her from the comparison is her declarations that she is not a fur-wearing monster.
This album also proves that for some people 'rock' is more of a fashion tendency than an identity, and this is obvious by the 'easiness' that singers are characterized as 'rock' because some of their songs have quitar inputs (take Shakira for example, who desperately wants to be 'rock' but also goes for the buck, ie hideous collaborations with Wyclef Jean and Beyonce Knowles). Rock artists don't sell their music and they don't design clothes! Enough with this joke already! Until the 80s american music used to be fantastic, how did it start polluting the world all of a sudden?
Anyway, this CD is just cheap. It's nothing but the a-bit-too desperate attempt of an over-ambitious woman to project herself as the new 'revolutionary' fashion icon of the decade, still, it can only be consumed by the naive and the stupid. I actually gave it away to charity.
I will be writing a review on the legendary masterpiece album entitled "ACHTUNG BABY" by one of Rock's all-time greatest bands ever. I give you one of the many great pride's of Ireland and one of Dublin's favorite sons, U-2! "ACHTUNG BABY" was originally released in 1991 on Vinyl/LP, Cassette and Compact Disc on the Island Records, Inc. label. As always, if I hear any new additional information concerning this legendary masterpiece album or the legendary artist, I will edit this review immediately so that you the consumer will get the overall best informative and most accurate review possible.
U2 will forever leave their mark and place in Rock n' Roll history and be remembered for writing and recording some of Rock's most sacred classic anthems ever. In a way, in my opinion, Bono reminds me alot of the late great John Lennon. Like Lennon, Bono is also very active in the Political world and not only voices his opinions and concerns in your face verbally, but he'll write a beautiful Rock anthem concerning the Political topic which would also contain some of the most powerful lyrics that you have ever heard. In 1990, at this point in U2'S career, the band was enjoying the fruits and rewards that the good life had to offer as a result of their new additional recognition, fame and fortune that the band would soon have to adjust getting used and be accustomed to. This newfound additional fame and fortune added to their already fame and fortune status was made more possible due to the extreme successes of both "THE JOSHUA TREE," released in 1987 and the most recent 1988 soundtrack album release from the movie containing the same name as the title song, "RATTLE AND HUM." "RATTLE AND HUM" highlights live performances from U2'S legendary and successful 1987-88 Joshua Tree tour as well as additional songs recorded at Sun Studios in Memphis, Tennessee. One of the films many great highlights is that U2 would work and jam with one of their most favorite Blues idol's ever, Mr. B.B. King. U2 would also dedicate one of their songs from the "RATTLE AND HUM" album, "Angel Of Harlem" to one of the all-time greatest female Blues icons ever, the late great Blues legend herself, Ms. Billie Holiday. At this point in a day in the life of U2 which would comprise of U2 lead vocalist and frontman Paul Hewson A.K.A. Bono, rhythm and lead guitarist David Howell Evans A.K.A The Edge, drummer Larry Mullen, Jr. and bassist Adam Clayton, everything was perfect and positive in the band's Rock n' Roll world. This positive feeling would inspire the band in heading back into the recording studio and record the new anticipated follow-up album to both, the extremely successful "THE JOSHUA TREE" album from 1987 and the 1988 movie and album release "RATTLE AND HUM." U2 would commit themselves in the recording studio faithfully and endlessly for the next few months. These positive feelings would also prove in rubbing off on the band's songwriting abilities as well as on the music itself thus resulting in giving the new follow-up album a new sound direction and trademark formula not heard before. Which brings me to the legendary album I'm about to review for you today. After a certain amount of time flew by, U2 would emerge and come out of the recording studio with the fully completed acetate and would soon after hand deliver the finished product to their Record label and employer, Island Records, Inc. Island Records, Inc. would soon release this finished product as the legendary masterpiece "ACHTUNG BABY," album in 1991. The legendary "ACHTUNG BABY" album is without a doubt, a great follow-up album that compliments both "THE JOSHUA TREE" album released in 1987 and the 1988 "RATTLE AND HUM" movie and movie soundtrack perfectly. The legendary "ACHTUNG BABY" album also stands as one of U2'S as well as Rock n' Roll's many all-time greatest album accomplishments and achievements ever and in the band's career. In my opinion, the legendary masterpiece "ACHTUNG BABY" album is without a doubt, a true testament of the sheer fully crafted genius and musical creativity of four extremely talented individuals. The "ACHTUNG BABY" album is also a fine fitting tribute to a great legendary band that was truly indeed, far ahead of their time.
It is now time to let the Rock n' Roll music of U2 to speak for itself and back it up by doing all of the talking musically. The legendary masterpiece "ACHTUNG BABY" album begins with the incredible non-stop bass pounding synthesized Rocker "ZOO Station," the blistering synthesized Rocker "Even Better Than The Real Thing," the forever U2 trademark anthem that would move on throughout Rock n' roll history as being one of the most powerfully and beautifully written songs ever, "One," the merciless energetic Rocker "Until The End Of The World," the slow soothing mild Rocker "Who's Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses," the slow and mellow yet powerful Rocker "So Cruel," the firey groundbreaking Rocker "The Fly," the rugged non-stop bass thumping Rocker "Mysterious Ways," the beautifully slow and smooth distorted Rocker "Tryin' To Throw Your Arms Around The World," the unbelievable uplifting Rocker "Ultra Violet (Light My Way," the breathtaking heartfelt Rocker "Acrobat" and the beautifully slow and well sung synthesized mild Rocker "Love Is Blindness." May I also add that all four bandmembers harmonized beautifully together (Instrumental and lead vocal wise) perfectly to their fullest potential and to the best of their God-given abilities and talents would allow them to record and perform as entertainers.
Overall, this is one great legendary album worth checking out and seeking further research and information into especially if you are a hardcore diehard U2 fan or a devout music collector. As for all of the curious newcomers and new beginners that are not quite familiar with the Rock n' Roll music and sound of U2, I would suggest researching further into one of the many U2 greatest hits compilation albums before you purchase the U2 album(s) that is right for your musical needs and tastes. If you decide that you really love the music of U2 and you want more of their music, then it is in your best interests to purchase as many U2 album(s) that you way want. Either way you choose, you will have taken a giant step in owning and starting your very own personal U2 music collection. You can do all of your researching and album(s) purchases either on Amazon com or at your nearest local Borders Books and Music store. If you ever get a chance, Buy this album. You'll be glad and satisfied that you did.
I would like to highly recommend purchasing this legendary masterpiece album to own as a valuable and important part of his or her own personal music collection. This legendary treasure album has already proven to stand the test of time and will always be around to be enjoyed, appreciated and cherished for many years to come, NOW AND FOREVER. This is one great priceless gem that no hardcore music fan or devout music collector would want to be without.
In closing, the legendary "ACHTUNG BABY" album by U2 would be released to the whole world in 1991 to highly critically acclaim. Soon after, U2 would also embark on a new World Tour to promote the new album release in what would soon prove to be one of the band's all-time greatest tours ever to date. Following their extremely successful tour, U2 would continue to grow musically as a band and move forward and record many more great legendary albums that were still yet to come in the years ahead. But that, my fellow readers and reviewers, you will just have to stay tuned to your computers and read further more about it at a later date in the near future. U2 has forever reserved their place and left their mark in Rock n' Roll history. Because of the band's many contributions, accomplishments and achievements throughout their career in Rock n' Roll history, U2 will live on forever and will never be forgotten. So here's to you Bono, The Edge, Larry and Adam. Thanks for the great memories with many more still to come. Keep Persevering. Keep The Faith. And as the saying goes, "AND THE REST IS ROCK N' ROLL HISTORY," need I say more? Thanks for reading my review and I truly hope that you have enjoyed reading it as much as I have truly enjoyed writing it for your reading pleasure. I also deeply hope that all of you will read all of my other reviews in the near future when time permits. U2 FOREVER! Long Live Rock n' Roll. Rock out always and take it easy. Forever In Rock, John L.
This album is great from start to finish, and of any artist, not just U2, that is a hard thing to find. If you can think of your favorite artist of all time, and if you can think of artists whom many consider to be the greats, I challenge you to show me more than 5 albums where the songs are absolutely great from start to finish. This is one of those albums. Inspiring, fun, exciting, and all around great music is what you will get from this purchase. It would be hard to find something better!

Twelve great tracks and none of them act as a filler. A perfect score.
"One" is an incredible song, highly emotionnal and Bono's voice is unforgettable. Two thumbs up for U2 !
I would recommend this CD, and plan to purchase other Baby Einstein music!
After two times listening to the full album, I still get confused and messed up during the songs. I appreciate the attempt to "get" U2 but I think the same thing could have been achieved by listening to wind chimes or banging a pipe.
Of all the "non-U2" items out there, this is probably the weakest. Other non-U2 U2 items, such as "Strung out on U2", "In the Name of Love", "We Will Follow:Tribute to U2", and "Pickin' on U2", and so on all do U2 better justice and actually resemble the songs.
Bottom line: As a real U2 fan, add it to the collection. As someone who wants to slowly introduce your baby to U2, throw on "The Joshua Tree" or make a mix CD of their slower songs.
This wonderful CD set is a perfect compilation of her art as can be found anywhere. Her finest roles and performances are captured here, most of them derived from the Westminster/Audio Treasury recordings from her prime. Listening to them again demonstrates to me why she was so special, and such an inspiration to music lovers everywhere.
Bellini, I Puritani, "Son vergin vezzosa." Wonderful. Sutherland owns this--but so does Beverly Sills. Contemporary sopranos such as Netrebko and Gruberova have also sung this on their respective CDs, and while their product is nice, it simply does not compare. Sills is remarkably agile with her voice; the trills are well done; she cleanly hits high notes; the overall effect can only be described as wonderful.
Bellini, Norma, "Mira, o Norma". This is smoothly sung and very melodic. The technique that she exhibits does not overwhelm the music.
Rosini, Il Barbiere di Siviglia, "Contro un cor che accende amore." Again, her agile voice is well deployed. The florid singing is well done.
Donizetti, Roberto Devereaux, "Che m'apporti." Her clean, light voice matches well with this aria. Smoothly sung. Her "Quel sangue versato al cielo s'innalza," which follows, is well done. High notes cleanly hit, a smooth line.
Verdi, La Traviata, "E strano. . . .Sempre libera." Again, what agility! In "Sempre libera," she reveals a rich voice and, again, wonderful agility. This is an animated version of one of Verdi's showcase pieces.
Lehar, Giudetta. "Meine Lippen." A lot of fun! This is smoothly sung.
In the final analysis, this is a nice potpourri of Beverly Sills' repertoire. Those not familiar with her work will find this a nice entree to her oeuvre; those familiar with her will find this a good compilation.
This record will kindle as many relationships as it puts on the ropes. Fab's second single 'Baby' has all the ingredients of a rather tasty, radio friendly slammer with it's sweet production, catchy hook, cheeky samples and that special rap-a-long value. Of course props have to go out to Mike Shorey for adding some sweetness to the mix, but it's Fab that comes up trumps here, proving he's more versatile than lycra and smoother than a baby's bottom! The Radio Version is backed with 'Bubble Gum' (non album track), 'Baby' (feat. Mike Shorey, instrumental) and the video for 'Baby'. Atlantic. 2005.

Baby Beluga is a fun-filled collection of favorite children's songs and Raffi originals, all performed in the singer's folksy, expressive style. Beluga begins with the sounds of whales communicating in their high-pitch squeaks (which presented here come across as cute and sweet) and features melodic lines that evoke vivid pictures of gentle waves and a frolicking whale. An illustrated sing-along book that is published separately is a nice companion to this first track, giving young listeners visual images of the song's narrative. The rest of this varied album blends traditional songs like "Oats and Beans and Barley" and "This Old Man" with four original pieces by Raffi, including the instrumental "Water Dance." Liner notes have the complete lyrics, a description and history of beluga whales, and explanations of Raffi's inspiration and ties to each song. This is an excellent album with catchy tunes that's sure to become a household favorite. --Tami HoriuchiCustomer Reviews:

Lullabies lend themselves to woozy re-creations, a sort of endless repetition that flags under the weight of the concept (putting kids to bed for their much-needed sleep) and the lack of weight accorded to the music. You might expect a Disney lullaby collection to be on a par with the most mediocre collections, but this one is really a fine set. The tunes are standard--from the famous "Brahms Lullaby" to "All the Pretty Little Horses"--but they're uniformly excellent and creative, staying within the realm of acoustic music that sounds and feels organic. These are Disney-related tunes, for the most part, so "Stay Awake" is here, as is the whimsical "Sleep, Daddy, Sleep." Musically, the set is varied, steering away from a repetition of instrumentation or delivery. That makes it easily entertaining enough for back-to-back listens, which any parent will be asked for with this collection. --Andrew BartlettCustomer Reviews:

"Suicide," she said. "What happened to the revolution?".......2007-07-14
Highly disappointing.........2007-07-06
This album starts out strong: "Took Out A Loan" and "Berlin" (though you have to leave out the iffy lyrics, both songs have great grooves, like some of their best), "Weapon Of Choice" is where things start to go south. The song is a total return to form for the band, and is short and tight, but the chorus just sounds forced to my brain, even though it makes me want to pump my fist.
The Beatles-y "Window" I like, but it sorta derails the album. It's solidly written, but it's the first of bassist/singer Robert Been's contributions to the record that I just don't much dig, because it doesnt' seem to fit. Back to guitarist/singer Peter Hayes' great angsty track "Cold Wind", which fares much better, and encapsulates everything I like about the band. Then comes the string of songs that I inevitably have to skip--"All You Do Is Talk", "Lien On Your Dreams"; really sub-par stuff for a band like this. It gets better; "Need Some Air" and especially "Killing The Light" (the album's best track) bring the album back before the slightly dull "American X", which seems to strive for the vibe of the 'BRMC' album but falls short. It all ends with the slightly anti-climactic "Am I Only"--with it's endlessly repeating 2 chord structure, it's neither really good or bad, it's just there.
Believe me, I don't like to criticize a band I respect as highly as these guys. I just feel they can do better than 60% of this material. I'd hate to see them turn into the kind of band they railed against in "Whatever Happened To My Rock n' Roll?"
Superlative Rock and Roll Album...........2007-06-30
It seems far too many popular bands today toil either in the poppy and superficial, or the absurdly inaccessible and needlessly complex.
Given that dichotomy, Black Rebel drives it right down the middle of the fairway (an analogy the band would probably hate). "Baby 81" is smart enough to have meaning, but accessible enough to get heads moving and fists pumping.
For those about to rock, enjoy tracks like "Took Out A Loan", "Berlin", and "Lien On Your Dreams." Although slower tempo tracks like "All You Do Is Talk" and "Killing the Light" are also worth a listen.
The highlight tracks, however, are the first single ("Weapon of Choice") and, for many, the anthem of the album ("American X"). Both are simply brilliant: the former a concise and energetic three minutes and the latter a thundering nine-minute condemnation of the contemporary American mindset. Both act as musical genius and incisive social commentary, at the same time.
Content to share the role of frontman, both Peter Hayes and Robert Levon Been get the job done. Either could carry the show, but the alternating leadership with each song makes for an interesting texture to the album.
As with the rest of their catalog (four albums to date), this is highly, highly recommended.
B.R.M.C. is back in form - in fact, the best yet!.......2007-06-21

On No Doubt's great Rock Steady, Gwen Stefani was a "girl that hangs with the boys... just sippin' on chamomile." Three years and a KROQ-nerd Talk Talk cover later, she presents a solo debut that wants it all--Vivienne Westwood and John Galliano, backseat love and lifetime devotion, '70s pop throwbacks and hip-hop beats as well as Clash adoration (she continues to be managed by the firm of Rebel Waltz, named for a mournful Sandinista! cut). Among the standout tracks are the stomping, Neptunes-driven "Hollaback Girl," the tongue-in-cheek Eve/Dr. Dre collaboration "Rich Girl," and the girl-power manifesto "What You Waiting For?"; another tune, "The Real Thing," nods toward role-model Madonna's "Holiday." Though it can't match Rock Steady's inexorable track-by-track flow, Love, Angel, Music, Baby is such state-of-the-art pop that the description almost feels like damning it with faint praise. --Rickey WrightAlbum Description
In her own unique way, Gwen Stefani has managed to shift our culture since coming onto the scene as the lead singer of No Doubt. With years of defining style and 30 million in record sales under her belt, she will again turn heads with this debut record that is as fresh as it is retro and as progressive as it is feel-good familiar.With this project, she has enlisted some of the biggest names in music (Dr. Dre, Eve, The Neptunes, Andre 3000, Nellee Hooper, Dallas Austin, Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis, Linda Perry and Tony Kanal) to create a genre bending masterpiece that is guaranteed to be one of the most talked about records of this year (2004) and beyond.

Appealingly Chaotic Bag of Modern Pop.......2007-05-30
Great! A throwback to the 80's in many ways.......2007-05-27
Hollaback girl ( the banana song) is probably the funniest, craziest song on the CD. But, then there are smooth, slow hits like cool with beautiful music, and catchy lyrics. There are some other faster 80
s-ish dance songs on the track- lots of feel good music. There are even some odd r&b tracks that I don't think fit Stefani best. However, as a new solo artist I think it's fitting to test out some new territories. As far as variety goes though- this one has it.
It definitely leaves me looking forward to her sophmore album.
What exactly were you thinking???.......2007-05-19
What can I say, most people have said it all already! The tackiness and narcissism of her lyrics are indescribable, her music seems as if it was roughly programmed by a children's pc, her overall presence as if she was trying to impose her new arrogant self as the latest fashion. And there exactly lies the problem. It is more than likely that Stefani's arrogance simply derives from her belief that her ex-punk persona will help her not only get away with it, but make her look unique and 'uber-cool', thus bringing lots of cash. Only problem is, songs like 'Hollaback girl' and 'Bubble electric' don't make you look 'uber-cool', more like desperate to attract teenage audiences or adult fans that are simply musically illiterate and because of them, talentless bimboes like Jennifer Lopez, Paris Hilton and Beyonce Knowles (yes, and Madonna) that sing cheap vomitting 'songs' and think that dead animals are fashionable and luxurious became rich in the first place. Only thing is, Stefani was never one of the above, and the only thing that saves her from the comparison is her declarations that she is not a fur-wearing monster.
This album also proves that for some people 'rock' is more of a fashion tendency than an identity, and this is obvious by the 'easiness' that singers are characterized as 'rock' because some of their songs have quitar inputs (take Shakira for example, who desperately wants to be 'rock' but also goes for the buck, ie hideous collaborations with Wyclef Jean and Beyonce Knowles). Rock artists don't sell their music and they don't design clothes! Enough with this joke already! Until the 80s american music used to be fantastic, how did it start polluting the world all of a sudden?
Anyway, this CD is just cheap. It's nothing but the a-bit-too desperate attempt of an over-ambitious woman to project herself as the new 'revolutionary' fashion icon of the decade, still, it can only be consumed by the naive and the stupid. I actually gave it away to charity.

"I'm ready / Ready for what's next," Bono announces at the outset of Achtung Baby, the album that proved the so-called "band of the '80s" was capable of blazing into the '90s by replacing its flag-waving arena-rock stance with screaming synths, clubby rhythms, and industrial skronk. The group advances its sound without losing accessibility on "Who's Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses," "Even Better Than the Real Thing," and "Mysterious Ways," while pushing the envelope a bit more on "The Fly," "Zoo Station," and "Acrobat." The moody ballad "One" is arguably the finest song the band has produced, full of sorrow, compassion, and hope all at the same time. --Daniel DurchholzAmazon.com
Achtung, Baby is U2's christening voyage into the postmodern, a brave venture into unknown territory and a brilliant musical transformation for the band. The album is packed with just as much passion as previous albums, but the lyrics are much more emotionally poetic and far less political. Musically, the tracks are a metropolis of intoxicating dance beats and lush guitar riffs. "The Fly" opens with guitarist The Edge's trademark reverberations cutting through the opening verse like a speedboat slicing through choppy water; on "Mysterious Ways," Bono's one-man gospel choir belts out the praises of an adored woman. --Beth BessmerAlbum Details

THE ACHTUNG BABY ALBUM SHOWS THE VERSATILITY AND FLEXIBILITY IN U2 BY EXPERIMENTING AND CHANGING THEIR TRADEMARK SOUND FORMULA. .......2007-05-01
I will be writing a review on the legendary masterpiece album entitled "ACHTUNG BABY" by one of Rock's all-time greatest bands ever. I give you one of the many great pride's of Ireland and one of Dublin's favorite sons, U-2! "ACHTUNG BABY" was originally released in 1991 on Vinyl/LP, Cassette and Compact Disc on the Island Records, Inc. label. As always, if I hear any new additional information concerning this legendary masterpiece album or the legendary artist, I will edit this review immediately so that you the consumer will get the overall best informative and most accurate review possible.
U2 will forever leave their mark and place in Rock n' Roll history and be remembered for writing and recording some of Rock's most sacred classic anthems ever. In a way, in my opinion, Bono reminds me alot of the late great John Lennon. Like Lennon, Bono is also very active in the Political world and not only voices his opinions and concerns in your face verbally, but he'll write a beautiful Rock anthem concerning the Political topic which would also contain some of the most powerful lyrics that you have ever heard. In 1990, at this point in U2'S career, the band was enjoying the fruits and rewards that the good life had to offer as a result of their new additional recognition, fame and fortune that the band would soon have to adjust getting used and be accustomed to. This newfound additional fame and fortune added to their already fame and fortune status was made more possible due to the extreme successes of both "THE JOSHUA TREE," released in 1987 and the most recent 1988 soundtrack album release from the movie containing the same name as the title song, "RATTLE AND HUM." "RATTLE AND HUM" highlights live performances from U2'S legendary and successful 1987-88 Joshua Tree tour as well as additional songs recorded at Sun Studios in Memphis, Tennessee. One of the films many great highlights is that U2 would work and jam with one of their most favorite Blues idol's ever, Mr. B.B. King. U2 would also dedicate one of their songs from the "RATTLE AND HUM" album, "Angel Of Harlem" to one of the all-time greatest female Blues icons ever, the late great Blues legend herself, Ms. Billie Holiday. At this point in a day in the life of U2 which would comprise of U2 lead vocalist and frontman Paul Hewson A.K.A. Bono, rhythm and lead guitarist David Howell Evans A.K.A The Edge, drummer Larry Mullen, Jr. and bassist Adam Clayton, everything was perfect and positive in the band's Rock n' Roll world. This positive feeling would inspire the band in heading back into the recording studio and record the new anticipated follow-up album to both, the extremely successful "THE JOSHUA TREE" album from 1987 and the 1988 movie and album release "RATTLE AND HUM." U2 would commit themselves in the recording studio faithfully and endlessly for the next few months. These positive feelings would also prove in rubbing off on the band's songwriting abilities as well as on the music itself thus resulting in giving the new follow-up album a new sound direction and trademark formula not heard before. Which brings me to the legendary album I'm about to review for you today. After a certain amount of time flew by, U2 would emerge and come out of the recording studio with the fully completed acetate and would soon after hand deliver the finished product to their Record label and employer, Island Records, Inc. Island Records, Inc. would soon release this finished product as the legendary masterpiece "ACHTUNG BABY," album in 1991. The legendary "ACHTUNG BABY" album is without a doubt, a great follow-up album that compliments both "THE JOSHUA TREE" album released in 1987 and the 1988 "RATTLE AND HUM" movie and movie soundtrack perfectly. The legendary "ACHTUNG BABY" album also stands as one of U2'S as well as Rock n' Roll's many all-time greatest album accomplishments and achievements ever and in the band's career. In my opinion, the legendary masterpiece "ACHTUNG BABY" album is without a doubt, a true testament of the sheer fully crafted genius and musical creativity of four extremely talented individuals. The "ACHTUNG BABY" album is also a fine fitting tribute to a great legendary band that was truly indeed, far ahead of their time.
It is now time to let the Rock n' Roll music of U2 to speak for itself and back it up by doing all of the talking musically. The legendary masterpiece "ACHTUNG BABY" album begins with the incredible non-stop bass pounding synthesized Rocker "ZOO Station," the blistering synthesized Rocker "Even Better Than The Real Thing," the forever U2 trademark anthem that would move on throughout Rock n' roll history as being one of the most powerfully and beautifully written songs ever, "One," the merciless energetic Rocker "Until The End Of The World," the slow soothing mild Rocker "Who's Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses," the slow and mellow yet powerful Rocker "So Cruel," the firey groundbreaking Rocker "The Fly," the rugged non-stop bass thumping Rocker "Mysterious Ways," the beautifully slow and smooth distorted Rocker "Tryin' To Throw Your Arms Around The World," the unbelievable uplifting Rocker "Ultra Violet (Light My Way," the breathtaking heartfelt Rocker "Acrobat" and the beautifully slow and well sung synthesized mild Rocker "Love Is Blindness." May I also add that all four bandmembers harmonized beautifully together (Instrumental and lead vocal wise) perfectly to their fullest potential and to the best of their God-given abilities and talents would allow them to record and perform as entertainers.
Overall, this is one great legendary album worth checking out and seeking further research and information into especially if you are a hardcore diehard U2 fan or a devout music collector. As for all of the curious newcomers and new beginners that are not quite familiar with the Rock n' Roll music and sound of U2, I would suggest researching further into one of the many U2 greatest hits compilation albums before you purchase the U2 album(s) that is right for your musical needs and tastes. If you decide that you really love the music of U2 and you want more of their music, then it is in your best interests to purchase as many U2 album(s) that you way want. Either way you choose, you will have taken a giant step in owning and starting your very own personal U2 music collection. You can do all of your researching and album(s) purchases either on Amazon com or at your nearest local Borders Books and Music store. If you ever get a chance, Buy this album. You'll be glad and satisfied that you did.
I would like to highly recommend purchasing this legendary masterpiece album to own as a valuable and important part of his or her own personal music collection. This legendary treasure album has already proven to stand the test of time and will always be around to be enjoyed, appreciated and cherished for many years to come, NOW AND FOREVER. This is one great priceless gem that no hardcore music fan or devout music collector would want to be without.
In closing, the legendary "ACHTUNG BABY" album by U2 would be released to the whole world in 1991 to highly critically acclaim. Soon after, U2 would also embark on a new World Tour to promote the new album release in what would soon prove to be one of the band's all-time greatest tours ever to date. Following their extremely successful tour, U2 would continue to grow musically as a band and move forward and record many more great legendary albums that were still yet to come in the years ahead. But that, my fellow readers and reviewers, you will just have to stay tuned to your computers and read further more about it at a later date in the near future. U2 has forever reserved their place and left their mark in Rock n' Roll history. Because of the band's many contributions, accomplishments and achievements throughout their career in Rock n' Roll history, U2 will live on forever and will never be forgotten. So here's to you Bono, The Edge, Larry and Adam. Thanks for the great memories with many more still to come. Keep Persevering. Keep The Faith. And as the saying goes, "AND THE REST IS ROCK N' ROLL HISTORY," need I say more? Thanks for reading my review and I truly hope that you have enjoyed reading it as much as I have truly enjoyed writing it for your reading pleasure. I also deeply hope that all of you will read all of my other reviews in the near future when time permits. U2 FOREVER! Long Live Rock n' Roll. Rock out always and take it easy. Forever In Rock, John L.
U2 is awesome!.......2007-04-15
The Best of the Best!.......2007-04-10
This album is great from start to finish, and of any artist, not just U2, that is a hard thing to find. If you can think of your favorite artist of all time, and if you can think of artists whom many consider to be the greats, I challenge you to show me more than 5 albums where the songs are absolutely great from start to finish. This is one of those albums. Inspiring, fun, exciting, and all around great music is what you will get from this purchase. It would be hard to find something better!

Age: Birth - 3 years Manufacturer: New Sound MusicAmazon.com
Of all the reasons you'll click the Add to Shopping Cart button next to Baby Einstein's Baby Mozart--and there are many--the best one is that playing this record for babies doesn't feel weird. Instead of subjecting tiny, tender ears to the kind of Mozart that can make adult classical fans wilt when tackled by a maestro who means business, this is Mozart lite, mixed and mastered by a dad, Bill Weisbach, who's clearly hung around for his share of crib-side cooing. The slightly tinny sound of a child's piano sweeps the sting out of Piano Sonata in B Flat's third movement; the first movement of Concerto for Flute and Harp in C floats by, birdlike; variations on "Ah vous dirai-je, Maman" translate to a fancy-sounding (but adorable) "Twinkle, Twinkle"; and Piano Sonata in F's third movement snuggles so deeply into its childlike setting that if you close your eyes, you'll see a pastel parade of animals floating by overhead. Other pieces (more aptly called fragments, since only one track stretches beyond the three-minute mark), like Symphony No. 41's fourth movement, wander into more robust Mozart territory, but it's here the claims about classical music enhancing young kids' abstract reasoning skills and spatial intelligence crystallize. Babies strapped in for a roller coaster of sounds that gracefully dips, swerves, and high-jumps like this version, do have to process what they're hearing somehow (and a case could be made that the instruments Weisbach's chosen--the vibraphone, glockenspiel, and music box among them--make it more appealing for them to do so). Followers of Julie Aigner-Clark's Baby Einstein empire, many of whom opted out of the fan club once Disney bought the company in 2001, won't trip over a single Mickey Mouse-ified sound here. This is pure, plugged in, and muted Mozart, and if it doesn't make your baby smarter, it'll at least sound awfully sweet issuing from your nursery's speakers. --Tammy La GorceCustomer Reviews:

No one will be able to say for sure whether Lullaby Renditions of the Beatles will successfully "glide your little one across the universe, through an octopus's garden, and send them into a slumberland of strawberry fields," as it says it will on the back on the disc, but one thing it won't do is bonk you over the head with the sub-par production you might expect from a novelty disc. The latest CD in the series that has provided hipster parents with wordless, infant-friendly versions of Led Zeppelin, U2, Metallica, and many others takes a turn for the unapologetically melodic here, having its way with classics from "Here Comes the Sun" to "Hey Jude." The result is, as ever, powder-puffy yet inarguably palatable, whether you're the one swaddled in the crib or the one staring down into it waiting for the sandman to arrive. "Michelle" was a dozy song to begin with; here it's a doorway to a peaceful drift-off that, with any luck, will last long enough get the laundry done. --Tammy La GorceAlbum Description
Golden slumbers await your little pride and joy at the end of lullaby road. The Beatles are the most famous songwriters of the twentieth century. Their songs are known by people of all ages here, there, and everywhere. The dreamy quality of their later work provides the blueprint for these beautiful lullaby interpretations. It will glide your little one out across the universe, through an octopus's garden, and lay them down in a slumberland of strawberry fields.Customer Reviews:

If you've been operating under the impression that songs with the word "bloody" in the title can't make for good lullabies, guess again: given the Baby Rock treatment, "Sunday Bloody Sunday" sounds infant-tested, sandman-approved. And, more important, not even the tiniest bit absurd. With their glockenspiels, vibraphones, and mellotrons, the Baby Rock magicians have spun sweetness and a soothing vibe into everything from "Smells Like Teen Spirit" to "Stairway to Heaven"; given the unthinkable nature of those undertakings, this one seems almost too easy. "All I Want is You" is a little on the snuggly side to begin with, after all, and so is "The Sweetest Thing." No matter how high the bar is set, what's consistent about this series is its knack for getting eyelids to drooping and rock fans to chuckling: Bono and the Sandman make for strange bedfellows, but entertaining ones. --Tammy La GorceAlbum Description
Rockabye Baby! transforms timeless rock songs into beautiful instrumental lullabies. The soothing sounds of the glockenspiel, vibraphone, mellotron and other instruments will lull your baby into a sweet slumber. If it's timeless you're looking for, you don't have to look much further than Ireland's legendary heroes U2. Their cascading melodies and soundscapes are a perfect foundation for these heavenly lullabies. Introducing your little one to this unforgettable music is the sweetest thing you can do.Customer Reviews:
"Even Better Than the Real Thing" - NOT!.......2007-06-06
After two times listening to the full album, I still get confused and messed up during the songs. I appreciate the attempt to "get" U2 but I think the same thing could have been achieved by listening to wind chimes or banging a pipe.
Of all the "non-U2" items out there, this is probably the weakest. Other non-U2 U2 items, such as "Strung out on U2", "In the Name of Love", "We Will Follow:Tribute to U2", and "Pickin' on U2", and so on all do U2 better justice and actually resemble the songs.
Bottom line: As a real U2 fan, add it to the collection. As someone who wants to slowly introduce your baby to U2, throw on "The Joshua Tree" or make a mix CD of their slower songs.

RIP, BEVERLY SILLS 1929-2007.......2007-07-03
This wonderful CD set is a perfect compilation of her art as can be found anywhere. Her finest roles and performances are captured here, most of them derived from the Westminster/Audio Treasury recordings from her prime. Listening to them again demonstrates to me why she was so special, and such an inspiration to music lovers everywhere.
Brava Sills!.......2007-02-02
Bellini, I Puritani, "Son vergin vezzosa." Wonderful. Sutherland owns this--but so does Beverly Sills. Contemporary sopranos such as Netrebko and Gruberova have also sung this on their respective CDs, and while their product is nice, it simply does not compare. Sills is remarkably agile with her voice; the trills are well done; she cleanly hits high notes; the overall effect can only be described as wonderful.
Bellini, Norma, "Mira, o Norma". This is smoothly sung and very melodic. The technique that she exhibits does not overwhelm the music.
Rosini, Il Barbiere di Siviglia, "Contro un cor che accende amore." Again, her agile voice is well deployed. The florid singing is well done.
Donizetti, Roberto Devereaux, "Che m'apporti." Her clean, light voice matches well with this aria. Smoothly sung. Her "Quel sangue versato al cielo s'innalza," which follows, is well done. High notes cleanly hit, a smooth line.
Verdi, La Traviata, "E strano. . . .Sempre libera." Again, what agility! In "Sempre libera," she reveals a rich voice and, again, wonderful agility. This is an animated version of one of Verdi's showcase pieces.
Lehar, Giudetta. "Meine Lippen." A lot of fun! This is smoothly sung.
In the final analysis, this is a nice potpourri of Beverly Sills' repertoire. Those not familiar with her work will find this a nice entree to her oeuvre; those familiar with her will find this a good compilation.
