R&B with tempo: Justin Timberlake resurrected it, and it's proving way more influential than that other lost commodity--sexy--he claimed to be bringing back in 2006 on FutureSex/LoveSounds. Timberlake is to Robin Thicke what 'N Sync and Backstreet Boys were to a band like O-Town, in fact: he pretty much made it all possible. But even though it took one blue-eyed soulster with a hot look and an achy falsetto to bang down the door for another, Thicke presents a convincing case here that he had the goods to get us grooving all along: Evolution is a classy disc that tiptoes up to its listeners, first with an elegant duet with Faith Evans ("Got 2 Be Down"), next with a slick lament that wouldn't sound out of place on a Boyz II Men disc ("Complicated"), and then with a sweet plea that commands a finger-snap ("Would That Make U Love Me"). By the time we reach the long, sweeping lullaby that is the final track, "Angels," we've also had a taste of Thicke's swaggering side ("I Need Love," "Cocaine"), his hip-hop loving side ("All Night Long" and "Shooter," both with Lil Wayne), and the side that fantasizes about 1950s Latin ballrooms ("Everything I Can't Have," a hot tamale of a number that commands a visual if ever there was one: it's impossible to hear this song without imagining a raven-haired woman with a red rose between her teeth). Despite the range of moods on display, they're all in service to Thicke's inner R&B smoothie, and they all brush up against the ear with something like affection. Hard as it will be for listeners of a certain age to get past knowing that Thicke is the son of Alan Thicke, the actor who did his part to cheese up 1980s TV with the sitcom Growing Pains, they're going to have to: with his fan base swelling by the second, the evolution of Robin Thicke is going to be a deservedly loud one. --Tammy La GorceAlbum Description
NOTE: This deluxe edition features a ringtone of "Lost Without U," an autographed poster, and cell-phone wallpaper.The Evolution of Robin Thicke is the second solo album from the critically acclaimed, Grammy award winning songwriter and producer of records for such artists as Michael Jackson and Christina Aguilera. The album is a timeless work of art. With a voice of purity, passion and soulfulness, Robin brings to life the stories and emotions of the last two years of his life.
The album is filled with incandescent magic. It is an album that tells the tales of love, loss, temptation, redemption and finding hope when all the odds are against you. "My greatest desire with this album was to write songs that were completely honest and sing them with the emotion I was feeling when I wrote them, so that whoever listens to my music is brought as close to my experiences and life as possible."
Reflective, redemptive, passionate and etched with a soulfulness that is undeniable, The Evolution of Robin Thicke is an imaginative and heart-felt album that you cannot help but be moved by, bob your head to and smile throughout.

An exeptional SOPHOMORE effort that has appeal for the masses.......2007-06-19
It's obvious that Thicke's channeling a certain Mr. Gaye for the young soulster effortlessly jumps from falsetto to his natural tenor, just as the legendary singer did. Thicke accompanies himself on background, a technique that Gaye often utilized.
Of course the album highlight is the ubiquitous hit "Lost Without U." But, as hinted before, the remaining fifteen tracks are so varied that there is most definitely something for everyone.
The only detractor is the choice of colors for the liner notes: gold writing on a black background. With the print being as small as it is, it is most difficult to read the lyrics, production info, or the acknowledgments.
And there are some of us that enjoy reading them!

The jury's still out on discs with spoken-word interludes. Should the music always speak for itself? Or is the occasional verbal breakdown useful? Ciara, R&B's most tantalizing goodie (without the two shoes), makes clear on The Evolution that she prizes the chance to tell listeners how it is--four between-song snippets dot the disc. But her momentary digressions will probably make up more than a few minds that Janet Jackson, and only Janet Jackson, ought to be allowed to ramble before the mic: when the music is this hot, it doesn't matter how sincere or saucy the dialogue--it's a distraction. The Evolution is a door-buster of a CD--Lil Jon gets the speakers jumping in milliseconds on opener "That's Right," Ciara dabbles in Curtis Mayfield-style creative phrasing on "Promise" (and it works), and Chamillionaire pumps "Get Up," a play-it-loud club number, full of hip-hop heat. Helpers and inspirers aside, though, this is Ciara's party, and she knows how to please a guest. "Get In, Fit In" finds her putting the sizzle in a space-age soundscape. And the buzz and fuzz of "I Proceed" plump her breathy vocals enough to put a point across, that being that few modern songstresses work a beat better. The striking part, and the part she should take into account the next time she's considering a disc with interludes, is that she didn't even need to tell us so. --Tammy La GorceAlbum Description
Ciara "Ciara: The Evolution" Multi-platinum R&B star Ciara returns with her highly anticipated sophomore album Ciara: The Evolution. The new album shows Ciara's growth as a singer, songwriter, producer, and as a performer. Ciara says "For this album, I took my inspiration from many different influences and the sound really reflects that." Included with Ciara: The Evolution is a BONUS DVD featuring dance instruction for "Get Up," the "Get Up" video, dance instructions for "Promise," and the "Promise" video. And, as if that isn't enough, the DVD also includes special behind-the-scenes moments with Ciara!Customer Reviews:
Like a Boy? How?.......2007-07-23
Sexually speaking, yes. But in real life, no.
NO EVOLUTION ON THIS ONE........2007-07-15
More like a DE-evolution.......2007-07-09
We all know what "evolution" means, but it seems that in the case with R&B albums, that usually signifies a step BACKWARD. My brother said that no one under the age of 18 should own Goodies, but I actually think that's a more suitable description for THIS album. A lot of these songs seem tailor-made for middle school ("C.R.U.S.H.", anyone?).
There are some good songs on here, though, like "Like a Boy", "I Found Myself" and especially "My Love". And "Get Up" is good except for Chamillionaire's watered-down verse. But the rest of the album is mostly made up of mindless dance songs, like "Get In, Fit In", "Bang It Up", and the 50 Cent-assisted "Can't Leave `Em Alone" (and note to Fiddy: the word is "conversationalist", not "conversationist"). Another okay song featuring a "necessary" rapper is the overrated "That's Right" with Lil Jon, but it gets worse when Ciara tries to rap (why do young female R&B singers keep DOING that???). Still, that's not as bad as "Make It Last Forever", which not only generically samples Rob Base and DJ E-Z Rock's "It Takes Two" (which is already a sample), but Ciara's rap during it is pretty much a complete jacking of Rob's first verse. And sorry, but "Promise" is annoying (especially when she repeats any words rhyming with "do").
As other people have mentioned, the four "evolutionary" interludes are also unnecessary. Buy this album only if you're a huge Ciara fan, because The Evolution really isn't much of one.
Anthony Rupert
Ciara has not fully evolved..........2007-07-02
There hasn't been much art in pop lately..........2007-06-12
I couldn't have said it better myself. This album, The Evolution, takes the trite contemporary pop genre and creates art. All too often does one pick up an album nowadays and find about 2 great songs mixed in with about 15 sound-the-same filler tracks. The Evolution is thankfully not like this, I recommend you have a listen if you're even remotely curious, you won't be disappointed.

Martina McBride's fourth RCA album may not be her best work, but it remains a state-of-the-art '90s pop-country album, filled with insouciantly catchy melodies, flawlessly smooth production, and some genuinely memorable material. The 1997 set is balanced between earnestly romantic tunes like "Here in My Heart," midtempo acoustic songs like "Be That Way," and quasi-feminist numbers like "A Broken Wing," which rivals "Independence Day" for her most focused, soulful performance to date. The album might have benefited from more judicious editing: the cutesy opening snippet, the superficial "Keeping My Distance," and the gooey "Valentine" feel out of place on this mostly well crafted, emotionally sung work. --Roy KastenCustomer Reviews:
My favorite Martina album!.......2007-04-26
Dominant Effort.......2006-12-09
One way to get a "5 Star" rating from me is to make a recording that I think anyone should be able to appreciate. This is such an album. I really believe that if you cannot appreciate this album, you have problems.
Her best...........2005-11-12
I always thought that this album was her best. Each of her albums obviously has some great songs, but for me, Evolution was the album that made me the Martina fan that I am.
It's Martina!.......2005-10-16
Did not like the beginning and end of the CD at all. Must be her kids.
Her last CD was much better.
Possibly The Best.......2005-01-13
This album, in my opinion, is likely her greatest original release. there is not one song that i don't like. and aside from her greatest hits (which i love cuz it has most of my faves), this would be my fave. a very powerful album vocally and lyrically.
i definetly strongly recommend adding this one to your collection.

As far as this album is concerned, I don't remember all the songs, but 4 seasons of loneliness, doing just fine, and a song for momma stand out in my mind.

R&B music is not the same these days. Listening to this now is a breath of fresh air.

Their best album.......2005-10-23
a beautiful, romantic and addictive album...........2004-09-14
The four part harmony has never sounded sweeter than it does on the tracks you will find on "Evolution." "Doin' Just Fine" is a post-relationship song about getting back on your feet again after a bad break-up. It is sang with expression, grace and the smooth style we have come to expect from Nathan Morris, Shawn Stockman, Michael McCary and Wanya Morris. "Never," "4 Seasons of Loneliness," and "Girl in the Life Magazine" glide over a beautifully luscious arrangement of instruments and the smooth crooning. Then, comes one of the biggest hits from this album. That song is, of course, "A Song For Mama" (from the SOUL FOOD soundtrack).
Two of the most underappreciated tracks on this album that I really like a lot are "Baby C'Mon" (produced by Sean Puffy Combs), and "Come On," which features guest Missy Elliot and was co-written with Sting.
Check it out! You will be happy you did.

Album Description
"Underworld" and its accompanying soundtrack albums are perhaps the most thoughtful, valued and respected genre film soundtracks in the proud tradition of "The Matrix" and "The Crow."As "Underworld: Evolution" continues the saga of the story, so does the new Soundtrack Album continue the tone set musically. On this new album is the exclusive debut solo recording from Chester Bennington, and a new exclusive recording by Puscifer. Chester Bennington is best known as the lead singer of iconic rock band Linkin Park. Likewise Pusicfer who contributed to the first "Underworld" album, is a new outlet for the highly respected, and commercially successful music genius Maynard James Keenan. Maynard is best known as the frontman of both Tool and A Perfect Circle. Also a contributing member of Puscifer is Danny Lohner, the famed former Nine Inch Nails guitarist who is also a sought out songwriter, producer and remixer.
Every song on the album is exclusive to this set at the time of release. In addition to those above are exclusive contributions from such varied and respected artists as My Chemical Romance, Slipknot, Meat Beat Manifesto, Cradle Of Filth as well as some the most exciting new emerging and critically acclaimed bands such as Atreyu, Hawthorn Heights, Senses Fail, Alkaline Trio, Aiden, Lacuna Coil, Trivium and more.
Many of these tracks proudly feature exclusive remixes by some of the most respected and sought after talents such as Danny Lohner, Chris Vrenna, cEvin Key and The Legion Of Doom. Both Danny Lohner and Chris Vrenna bring unique musical experience and sensibilities as former members of seminal rock band Nine Inch Nails. cEvin Key is the co-founder of Skinny Puppy and an established artist in his own right, remixing various artists of stature and releasing many solo albums under different titles. Jack Dangers new exclusive Meat Beat Manifesto song features the artists first use of vocal performance in over six years, which is a rare treat indeed for fans

Underworld Evolution.......2007-06-23
Fantastic!!!!Almost Perfect..........2006-11-03
PS-Does anyone know which song played in the movie trailers?I really liked that one too.
This album was probably better than the movie...ha.......2006-09-03
However, I loved Hawthorne Heights's remixed "Where Can I Stab Myself In the Ears" (my friend loved it, too), Aiden's "Last Sunrise" (which had a lot of references to Anne Rice's Interview With The Vampire), Lacuna Coil's "Our Truth" (have since became a fan of theirs), Atreyu's "Her Portrait is Black," and Cradle of Filth's "HW2"/"Halloween."
Oh, I also liked Trivium's "Washing Away Me In The Tides," Senses Fail's "Bite To Break Skin," and Slipknot's "Vermillion pt 2."
So, pretty much the producers took good songs and made them even better. I think I just named 8 of the 16 songs as being favorites, not to mention the other songs weren't bad. What does that say to you?
So, I guess that 4 is actually more like a 4.5.
OK,nothing more.......2006-08-09
but they suit the film.OK if you like this sort of thing.

Another Hard-Rockin Classic From Journey.......2007-03-13
Excellent follow-up to Infinity.......2007-01-10
After hitting paydirt with 1978's Infinity, Journey were now one of the biggest bands in the US after failing with their first three albums. The group's fifth album, Evolution, continues on the band's evolving from prog band to a successful rock band. However there was one change in the band and that was ex-Jean Luc Ponty/Montrose drummer(and a fellow native from my hometown of Whitman, MA) Steve Smith who replaced former drummer Aynsley Dunbar whom was sacked near the end of the Infinity tour. Smith joins lead singer Steve Perry, keyboardist Gregg Rolie, guitarist Neal Schon and bass player Ross Valory.
Like its predecessor Infinity, one-time Queen producer Roy Thomas Baker returns and his presence here is much appreciated. With him around, many of the songs actually have a slight Queen sound to them, but the album is pure Journey.
We kick the album off with the instrumental Majestic. This piece is very short, but it is like its title says. We then go into the ballad Too Late which is a great power ballad. The song has always been one of my favorite tracks. The classic Lovin' Touchin' Squeezin' comes next and was the band's first US Top 20 hit. This classic ode to an ex of Perry's is a classic. We then segue into the great melodic rocker City Of The Angels. It fuses a melodic rock sound with a hard rock sound and the result is amazing and Smittie's drumming is superb. We follow with a great rocker When You're Alone (It Ain't Easy) which has one of Schon's best solos and the musicianship is killer! The first half ends with the ballad Sweet And Simple. Steve Perry's vocals on this track shows his range going from crooning to screaming. His scream from a middle A to a high A and back down after the guitar solo is brilliant singing at best which is lacking today in music. The music is powerful too and Schon's solos on this track are stellar.
The album's second side starts off with the rocking Lovin' You Is Easy which is a classic song. This song is a great rocker. Next was the album's second single Just The Same Way which featured Gregg Rolie on lead vocals with Steve singing the chorus. He was a great singer but he felt out of place compared to Steve Perry in his opinion. Next is another great rocker Do You Recall which is a very good song and a classic. We then segue into Daydream which is a slow and melodic number but a great song nevertheless. Lady Luck closes the album out on a rocking note and is a killer track.
Evolution proved once and for all Journey were a force to be reckoned with and this album reached #21 on the album charts and like Infinity would go Platinum within a few months of its release.
Sales notwithstanding Evolution is a great album and is another Journey classic!
In 2006, the album was re-released using the same remaster as the 1996 version but now the artwork is in a digi-pak.
Recommended!

SUMMER OF LOVE SOUND.......2007-06-10
and yes its a little corny but the rest of the album was deffinately trying to be a step the HOLLIES needed to take to be taken seriously has a pop band.i think GRAM NASH had a lot to do with this.the album is on the psycodelic side but its great fun to listen to in 2007 a big departure from what music is today.but a definate pop rock cd from a band very underated and too associated with an AIR SUPPLY sound .This is a far cry from air that i breathe.
A Hit and Miss Album!.......2007-02-12
Worst is the "underwater" effect put on Graham Nash's voice on "Lullaby to Tim". It could have been a great track, but as it is, it's almost unlistenable. I have often wondered if a version with unruined vocals exists.
The distorted guitars put on the opening track "The the Heartaches Begin" and "Have You Ever Loved Somebody", give a forced feeling that does not help the songs, which are really good Hollies songs. The Searchers proved that "Have You Ever Loved Somebody" even had hit-potentials.
Enough negative words said, because there are plenty of succesful tracks that make the album quite enjoyable after all.
Like on the previous album all songs were written by Clarke, Hicks and Nash and Allan Clarke and Graham Nash more or less share the lead vocals with Tony Hicks joining in on choruses etc.
"Stop Right There" is a nice quiet Graham Nash ballad; fine violin solo. Nash also takes the lead vocals on one of the big highlights on the album "When Your Lights Turned On"; classic up-beat Hollies with great guitars and harmonies.
The nostalgic "Ye Olde Toffee Shop" featuring harpsichord is quite charming, but no more.
On "Games We Play" Clarke and Nash share the lead vocals. Incredible that this song was not released as a single. Extremely catchy with funny ( naive ) teenage lyrics.
Allan Clarke demonstrates his powerful vocals on several tracks such as "You Need Love" and "Leave Me".
"Water on the Brain" is another example; a song which also features a charming trombone solo.
So all in all you could call it a hit and miss album, mostly hits!
By the way, this review refers to the British version of the album.

However, I'm pleased to report that the other seven songs from this US-version "Evolution" re-release are all very solid, enjoyable tunes, particulary "Then The Heartaches Begin", "Heading For a Fall", and of course, the hit, "Carrie-Anne".
Sundazed has also included five very good rare Hollies tracks ("rare" except for "Jennifer Eccles", of course.) "When Your Lights Turn On", in especially good.
Recommended to fans of sixties pop who are thirsting for something good beyond what they might already be familiar with.
