Great Album.......2007-01-10

I consider myself a hardcore Velvet Underground fan, and I absolutely love this album. In fact, I am going to blaspheme and admit that I prefer it not only to the eponymous third album, but also the band's legendary debut (GASP!). I realize Velvet Underground and Nico is one of the most influential albums of all time, and I listen to it a lot, but I like many of the songs on Loaded better. (I don't think anything else the band did can touch the raw glory of White Light/White Heat).

Velvet Underground fans often complain that this album is less edgy and groundbreaking than their other three efforts. I agree with this claim completely, and I think Loaded is the only album the band released that really sounds like a product of its era. At the same time, I think 1969-1970 was an incredibly inspired time for music, so fitting into this era is a good thing. 1969 and 1970 witnessed a shift in the rock world away from psychedelia toward country and folk sensibilities. 1969 saw The Band release their second album, the Stones release the country-tinged Let It Bleed, and Dylan release the pure-country Nashville Skyline. 1970 featured Zeppelin's shift to folk with their third album. Even the true champions of psychedelia, the Grateful Dead, released the folk rock classics Workingman's Dead and American Beauty in 1970. Loaded stands up well amid these albums.

I also think I like this album because I typically listen to classic rock rather than the alternative rock many Velvet Underground fans prefer. Along with the Velvet Underground, I would say the Rolling Stones and pre-'75 Grateful Dead are my favorite bands. "Sweet Jane" and "Rock and Roll" are two of the greatest classic rock songs ever. "Oh! Sweet Nuthin'" is almost as great, and the rest of the songs are better than filler to my ears (I love "Cool It Down," contrary to many of the other reviewers). And while the album lacks the alternative sound, some of the lyrics still hint at Lou Reed's cynicism ("Who Loves the Sun", "Train Round the Bend").

There is no doubt in my mind that Loaded is far more accessible than the other three Velvet Undergound albums. It is the one recording by the band that I think could appeal to many casual listeners. People can quibble over whether this really is the Velvet Underground because of all the personnel changes, but that just draws attention away from the great music you will find here. The extra tracks are a nice touch and worth the extra money, though not essential to most folks. Still, any fan of the Velvet Underground (especially Lou Reed) or classic rock should check this album out.

Nice "alternate album" with some wonderful bonus tracks.......2006-11-26

The alternate version of the album is a gem - more personal, intimate and quirky than the original.

Amongst the rest (ie the "bonus tracks") are 2 superb versions of Ocean, his best version of Satellie of Love, and the magnificent demo Love Makes You Feel Ten Feet Tall which contains elements of at least two later songs - have fun identifying them!

Who Loves the Sun?.......2006-07-31

I can't speak for everyone, but I for one, do.

I've never heard all of the Velvet Underground's albums, but from what I've been able to pick up, they were more depressing-sounding albums, with sombering looks at life - particularly drugs and sex.

This album on the other hand, stands out amongst the songs of sorrow with songs that sound to me as complete jubilation, the exception being 'I Found a Reason.' But starting out with Who Loves the Sun, a song that sounds as if it came out of a George Harrison song-writing session, starts off the album with a great beginning hook and glorious chorus lines that reaffirm that this album is quite different than their previous ones. The next, Sweet Jane, is quite possibly my favorite of the album, with pure joy seeping from the entire track, especially the third chorus. I'm assuming it's Lou Reed singing, and I doubt he's even sounded so exuberant ever since or before.

Rock and Roll seems like a direct extension off of Sweet Jane, and is just as 'rockin' as the two previous tracks. Probably one of the most simple tracks on the album, lyrical and instrumental, but still great. Cool It Down is probably my least favorite track and one I think really disrupts the flow of the album. I know there's not much there for description, but I really can't listen to it.

Things pick up again though with the gentle and quite beautiful New Age. A song that seems to be about new-found love with an older women. (I'm not entirely sure, the lyrics are kind of strange. But still a good tune.) Another thundering rocker with Head Held High, another kind of strange tune about keeping your spirits up.

I think it would be impossible for me to even try to describe Lonesome Cowboy Bill, since it seems so incredibly out of place with anything the Velvet Underground has done, albeit, a song, joyous in all senses, with a slight country-rock tinge to it, about a travelling rodeo cowboy... So I guess I did basically describe it. But it's definitely a stand out track.

I Found a Reason is probably the only depressing track on the album, which seems to be a song about a man or woman who diverted from attempting suicide because of his papa.

Rounding out the album are Train Around the Bend and Oh! Sweet Nuthin', which is probably my second favorite track on the album, and very melodic, slow paced, yet very spirited song that is a very fitting ending to a very great, high-spirits album. Thoroughly recommended to anyone. Especially those who love today's indie sound and wish to explore the beginnings of that sound, although I'm not saying this is the true beginning by any means.

Loaded with Hits... Integrity Intact Forever.......2006-05-08

Lou Reed did it..the survivor, new bandmates and studio musicians,a new age...total greatness, a 2 CD gift for the fans..the original album,the alternate album,early versions,full length versions, demos, early skeleton songs that appeared later on Lou's solo works with the demise of the Velvets, all in all not a note to be missed.. all loaded with a wonderful booklet, cover art appreciated by any NYC Subway junkie.
On this 4th offering, the band(now officially broken up) set out to show that they remained that tight Long Island Rock band of Lou(minus the drummer Mo and John Cale's replacement, Doug Yule singing lead on 3 great Reed compositions) showering a slew of tight songs showcasing many styles on the world fully knowing that this was the sort of album that all the commercial executives wanted the Velvets to make from the beginning..but it was a sad song and too late for that type of stardom.
Their fame was posthumous and always beyond category and comparison.Loaded was an album of hits completing a cycle for the band that began with the Nico album, culminating into a collection of topnotch song craft smacking of beautiful songs and FM staples, songs you can rock and dance to.
The story still requires their odds and sods collections Another View and VU and the live Robert Quine Tapes, the now 2 CD set Live At Max's and that extraordinary live 2 volume CD set 1969 recorded during this Loaded period.
You won't be disappointed in their box "Peel Slowly And See" neither.

A Masterpiece.......2006-04-21

Of all the VU albums, this is the most "pop" sounding and accessible. It also has, in my opinion, the definitive VU song;"Sweet Jane", which is inarguably, one of the most compelling rock songs ever written.This is quite simply a flawless classic that you should own, if for no other reason that you cannot claim that you have a classic rock collection without owning this album. As for this "fully loaded" version; dont hesistate to buy it. The extra songs and different versions are all gems and will open the door to an appreciation of VU other albums.

Just when you thought you could finally say goodbye to Lionel Richie's "Hello," this and other vintage pop comes roaring up in Herbie: Fully Loaded, the soundtrack to the Lindsay Lohan flick in which the world-famous Volkswagen bug meets NASCAR. Thematically speaking, the CD is perfect; just as the movie teams a modern-day star with a Disney classic, the album offers up a gaggle of pretty young things (The Donnas , Josh Gracin, Mark McGrath of Sugar Ray fame, Lohan herself) to belt out classic rock. Herbie the soundtrack is no critic's darling, but it's not without its highlights. McGrath does a good job with the sunny Beach Boys hit "Getcha Back," while Ingram Hill's rendition of "More Than a Feeling" may prove irresistible--that is if your heart is open to super hits of the `70s. In the end, the soundtrack, like the movie (and NASCAR itself) are the same thing: pop culture that parents and kids can enjoy together. --Leah Weathersby

INGRAM HILL - AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!.......2006-08-01

Not typically being one who likes cover songs, Ingram Hill does an AMAZING job with "More Than a Feeling"!!! Already a fervent IH fan, I am still amazed by Justin's ability to hit notes I thought only Brad Delp could master. As for the rest of the CD, I think Aly and AJ did a fine job with "Walking on Sunshine" as did Josh Kelly with "You are the Woman". Didn't care for Moony Suzuki's rendition of "Born to be Wild", but then, I didn't get all excited over the original one to begin with.

Herbie Fully LoadedTR.......2006-02-09

I love this book because it's non-fiction.It was really,really cool because it was about a car that had feelings and he could understand what you said.I like books that have funny things or mysteries.All though it was preety gross when Keven kissed Maggie.And it was funny when Trip Murphy got really mad and he said that Herbie blinked at him and the cops thought that he was crazy.I really enjoyed the laghter and the comedy and I hope you do too.I really wish that I could be a great writer like the author.

Mark McGrath - Getcha Back, it made me want to cry... totally

Very fun wake-the-kids-up CD.......2005-11-17

Magic IS performed by the original 70's artist.
"Hello" by Lionel Richie is a remake, but still Lionel Richie.
"More Than a Feeling" by Ingram Hill - incredible remake and I will be researching to see if they used the original guitar tracks from Boston.

I love Lindsay's "First", and I get to beebop around the house in the morning singing along to the same songs as my children - difference being that *I* know all the words. "Born to Be Wild" and "Workin' for the Weekend", questionable but tolerable knowing that a better song is coming up.

I loved Herbie as a child (bought my own '76 Bug 4 years ago and yes, I know Herbie's a '66) and I couldn't help myself from being overcome with "GO HERBIE!" during the movie. The movie if a heck of a lot of fun, Lindsay Lohan is too dang cute, music is much better (even the remakes) this time around, and since when has Disney gone for "critically acclaimed" movies? Sit back, enjoy the movie and then enjoy the music on the soundtrack. It's a nice change from the movies that you can't watch with the children around because it's fun - and it's actually a movie/soundtrack that adults know more about the history than your kids.

A little disappointing, but it's okay........2005-11-02

This CD is okay. Not good, not bad. Overall, just okay. The good thing of this CD is the songs are quite rocky because it should suit the racing movie. The bad thing is on track 12. You know, they shouldn't put an old song in the movie, right? I believe so. So, this is the thing which cost the whole CD not perfect.

This album is off the hook,please believe it.Nino and Wicked did a good job on this album,on the realness.The albums full of nice laid back funky beats that you can just chill and get hyped up to,and their flow goes perfect with the tracks.They rappin bout that mafia style life through the whole album,it's full of street songs, that's what makes them sound so tight.Ghetto Mafia is like my favorite group out of the south, and I can't wait to they put out another album.So all in all if you don't got this album go to the record store soon and scoop this joint up.

Long sought after '70s funk classic ! ! !.......2003-07-16

For fans of groups like Rasputin Stash, Funk. Inc., Black Heat, Mandrill and whatnot, this album is right up your alley. A sampling DJ's best wet dream, the album features horn driven '70s black rock, wet bottom heavy basslines and a tight rhythm section. - - a popular music review web site that I respect very highly (since they gave my own CD four stars) remarked that they were a very good group but not quite up to par with other funk ventures of the time (like Earth Wind and Fire and Sly Stone.) - - I disagree... In all fairness, I think when you listen to many of those legendary bands, you have to realize that as great as they are, your ears have been biased by years and years of hearing the music over and over again and the memories that comes with it (plus once a group has one mega hit... trust me, they get to record in better studies and get much better pre and post production.) - - In all honesty, a few weeks ago I heard Magnum for the first time and I have to say while their music didn't have the advantage of "bringing back warm memories", I liked the music enough to have been listening to it over and over again... so I'm sure in time this album will fall into that category... this album offers variety of a Jazzed out Frank Zappa meets Miles Davis soul Jam, to the sheer rockin' funkiness of It's The Music That Makes You Do It and fingerpopping blaxploitation groove of Funky Junky.. there are also plenty of production surprizes and kicks thrown in to make this album a rare treat and great listen straight through. - - Yes, maybe I wouldn't trade all the Tower of Power albums in my collection to get my hands on this if I had to, but trust me... this is must have for any serious '70s "free soul" fanatic !

Let's Get it Right.......2002-10-19

This is a great album! Its soulful, funky and just the bomb! I think that this album has been overlooked in the 70's. I've heard this music from Magnum live all my life. Why? Because I'm the daughter of "Kornbread." One of the key bandmates of this band. This record didn't get much publicity because of the shady side of the music industry. I am so glad that this album is being released again on Amazon. This band is more than just a rock legend, this is my family. And just for the record, this is a "West Coast" band that originated and still is in San Pedro, CA.

Fully Loaded.......2001-02-10

Revolver is not the right title. Fully loaded is the correct one- you need to change it on the screen. This is the one of the best funk album in demand the most for the funk recods collectors world wide. Not only because of it's rarety but their unique style of the East Coast Jazz funk quality that could be compitaible with the Early days of the Kool & the Gang ( 1969-1975) who is considered as a symbol of # 1 East coat funk band. The Mannum band has ever released only this album and even they never had a commercial success after 25years later, people start to recognize them as a hidden jewel in the moods of the 70's funk trend comming back. Their tight bass with the Horn session plus the sophisticated grooves will bring the laid- back funk relief feel to you not like you're on the dance floor. A many thanks to Jamie records for reintroducing this historical valuable recording to the public.

Decatur, GA.......2005-07-28

Ghetto Mafia's third album, Straight From The Dec, is a display of Nino and Wicked's grind for nationwide success. The album's spotlight, "For The Good Times (Straight From The Dec)", with a blues sample and the Mafia stop and go flow is an instant eye opener. They also take a Jamican, Reggae-like approach with a heavy bassline on "Who Wanna Test". Hearing the name 'Wicked' being yelled out almost works as a gimmick. The duo tag team on a verse for the gangster funk "I Can Feel It" and could have been used throught the song. Straight From The Dec starts off with and maintains it's high expectations from the opener "In Da Paint". The Mafia talk about their hustling and struggles being in the 'trap' as done on "Fool I Got Ya " and many other subjects within this lp. Their lyrics are direct and simple with a southern slang that are strong enough to keep your attention.

Straight from the Dec is too tight!.......2000-03-19

This album contains some of the phattest lyrics I have ever heard by Ghetto Mafia, it is also one of my favorites. I always said that nobody could stop Ghetto Mafia's Blues Rap combination and my point is proven with every album they bring out.

Better Effort.......2003-09-09

The sophomore effort by the former background dancers for MC HAMMER gave them much more creative control and writing credits. The lead single "Turn it up" was a dance hit and a top 20 r&b and rap song. It featured the legendary TATA VEGA on vocals. "Its not your money" is a clever song about how people find out you have money and wanna take advantage of you. "(Miss You) Come back to me" is a rap ballad featuring B Angie B on the hook.

"Honey" was another stand out single for the group. "Thats why we're doing it" and the stomping banger "Comin' Harder" were also just as competent. This release is more Oaktowns 357 on their own. MC HAMMER produced this effort as well but the songs are more well rounded.

A GREAT ALBUM!.......2003-02-24

This album is so good. when i first bought it i loved it right away from the first song "it's not your money" to "Use what we got" They are talented rap ladies who are 'usin what they got to get what they want' and it's a shame they havent made any other albums cuz they're really good. my personal favorites on this cd are "Smoothin'," "Turn It Up," and "Comin' Harder" they are great songs, very energetic, especially "turn it up" that's a song you can really party to. it's a great album and it seems people just sadly passed this one by. they're really missing out on good music here. Didn't they used to be a trio, cuz in their 2nd album they're a duo and i wonder about that. oh well.
