coming up in the ranks.......2007-07-18
these guys have come a long way since the 1st album. this album is very dark which follows their work in the past. its very creative. i love it!
Not even close to the first 2 albums.......2007-05-24
'From the Depths of Dreams' is pure heartfelt emotion, and 'Let It Enfold You' maintains similar quality. Both are phenomenal life-changing works. I can go a month with forgetting how I feel, and turn on one of these albums and remember there is more to life than the everyday routine. 'Still Searching' sucks in comparison and I'm concerned that the band that I thought I would enjoy for years to come is gone. So many reviews for Still Searching discuss the growth and maturity b/c the lyrics aren't so directly violent and the guitars are more complex. This album feels like someone told them these criticisms and they believed them. The great thing about the lyrics for the first 2 albums is just how blatantly violent and desperate they are, and yet they represent complex inner feelings of desperation and confusion, not a lame interest in true violence like many death metal bands. Moreover, the guitars have lost all feeling and, while the rhythms may be more complex (and still unique and energetic), the melodies are boring, if not cliche. I am not adverse to maturity for a band, but the new guitarist had already matured in Midtown, and their work was never great, though innovative for the late nineties.
So why 3 stars? If you weren't expecting something akin to the immortal previous releases, then I would imagine that this is still a good listen.
A Rehash, Not a Redefinition.......2007-05-15
Senses Fail made leaps and bounds with the release of their "From the Depths of Dreams" EP, an effort that encompassed such a broad spectrum of human emotion with dark, chaotic music and beautiful lyricism. The band's hugely awaited full-length "From the Depths of Dreams" did the band justice, still. They grew more confident in their songwriting and more capable in their hooks.
This new effort, "Still Searching," is a huge letdown, all things considered. From a band who, five years ago, helped pioneer the music that hundreds (if not thousands) of bands are now rehashing, Senses Fail have fallen into their own trap. "Still Searching" is poorly conceived and forgettable, a lackluster effort. Save your money.
The song, "All the Best Cowboys Have Daddy Problems," is the standout track on a record that is otherwise a complete failure.
Amazing band, another excellent cd.......2007-04-26
First, let me say these guys rock me live. Secondly, they have put out another cd which is consistently being enqueued again and again. get it and rock it

11. All The Best Cowboys Have Daddy Issues (techno-ish intro/outro) 3/5
12. Negative Space (interlude) 1/5
13. The Priest and the Matador 3/5
Still Searching slows down a bit in the middle and at the end, but the accessible nature of most of the material begs for a second spin. If you're used to the old Senses Fail, Still Searching may take some getting used to. It has a more rock-centered sound, which is a good thing, and although I was never a fan of these guys in the past, this record turned me around. Different doesn't always equal bad, although I still feel like SF haven't quite found their own identity yet. Recommended.

Terrible.......2007-02-23
I bought this Cd upon request from a friend and it is terrible. I want my money back. The worst is the singers voice which makes you want to slam your head up AGAINST! the wall. His voice maintains the same scartchy, gargaly, high octave yelling no matter what the tempo of the song. Just Terrible
Oh hail yeah!.......2006-09-12
This is just good old fashioned, in your face pissed off straight up punk, the way it should be. If you ask me, there should be more bands like this. These guys really know how to rage against the man, and kick [...] doing it. If you miss stuff like Black Flag, the Sex Pistols, and any other good punk band, you gotta check these dudes out. Not quite as good as those, of course, but [...] just the same.
Change is good.......2006-08-21
This Cd is the best it is a turning point in there music career, the band wants there music to progress as they get older. The Band does not want to produce the same record over and over! this band is great and should be aprecieated! if they never made reinventing axl rose then you wouldn't have heard it so be greatful!!! these guys are gonna stay true to the music they make!!
Don't believe the naysayers.......2006-08-06
I'm 28 years old. Punk has been my favorite kind of music since I was 16, so I'm obviously not new to it. I am, unfortunately, new to Against Me! I had always heard of them, but I just don't have the cash to buy stacks of records like I used to. The point is, this was my first exposure to Against Me and it blew my socks off. How could people possibly think this sucks or that it's not PUNK AS F***!? (In a modern way, at least.) This is the best punk album I've heard since Refused's "The Shape of Punk To Come" in 1998. There's not a bad song on this album, but the ones that really shine through for me are "From Her Lips To God's Ears (The Energizer)" (who would have known that Condoleeza was such a catchy name?), "Violence", "How Low", "Joy", "Even At Our Worst We're Still Better Than Most (The Roller)" and "Problems". It's been a rough past few years for punk and this is a breath of fresh air to me.
But people think they've sold out, huh? Remember when Jawbreaker came out with "Dear You" in 1995? The punks hated it. It was on a major. They said it wasn't like their old stuff. It was crucified by fans and critics alike. But guess what? It was really a great (and influential) album after all and is now a fan-favorite. Time had to be the judge.
The fact of the matter is, punk fans are terrified of change. They find their little band they like and they get comfortable with them and they expect them to pull a Bad Religion and make the same album for 25 years. (Correction: Bad Religion made the same album all the way up until Recipe For Hate, and then made THAT album over and over again until present time.) So "Searching For A Former Clarity" sounds different than their older albums? So what? All good bands evolve and not everyone likes it (check out Propagandhi for a good example of that.)
I suspect a big reason that some people don't like Against Me anymore is because they are on Fat Wreck Chords. I'm too old to worry about that BS anymore. I've got bigger things to worry about, like Simple Plan on the radio!
Shut Your Mouth "Punk Rockers".......2006-07-27
I bought this expecting a horrible album due to the claims that this isn't punk and blah blah blah. Most people seemed concerned about them changing their sounds, but for me, someone who still doesn't own any of their other albums, this is incredible. I have too admit though, there is not as much punk as I expected. Still every song has soooo much heart and soul in every song, and the songs are all different enough that you don't get bored. Definatley should buy it.

A possible admission of the excess that marred Gregg Allman's past efforts outside the Allman Brothers Band is the title of his 19997 solo release, Searching for Simplicity. More often than not he finds it. And with the clutter of strings, choirs, and synths removed, Allman's soulful baritone shines. Except for one lapse into pop excess ("Silence Ain't Golden Anymore"), the album's tracks are straightahead blues and soul tunes recorded with the Muscle Shoals rhythm section, longtime collaborator Johnny Sandlin, and new Allman Brothers guitarist Jack Pearson. The album begins with an unplugged arrangement of "Whippin' Post," continues with several respectable originals and really catches fire on inspired remakes of songs associated with Ray Charles, James Carr, Jimmy Hughes, and John Hiatt. --Geoffrey Himes

Southern Blues Allman Style.......2007-03-12
If you like blues, then an old familiar voice will bring it alive again.
And if you are an Allman Bros. fan, this is an invitation to the Blues. My wife and I enjoy this album a lot, the vocals, music and lyrics. KLM
Searching for Simplicity--Review.......2006-11-21
If you enjoy great vocals, slide guitar, harmonica and a Hammond B3, it really doesn't get a whole lot better. The Muscle Shoals Rhythm section also provides tasty backing and some great sax soloing.
You don't have to be a lead guitarist to appreciate this CD.
Regards,
Joe "Gooch" Guccione
Gregg's most "brothers-like" solo album.......2004-11-28
Less pop and more blues on this 1997 effort by Gregg Allman, whose solo career has seen him trying for a more eclectic pop sound than what would have flown with the Allman Brothers Band.
But this is almost an Allman Brothers record without the rest of the Allman Brothers Band. Gregg grinds his way through a really solid mix of originals and covers, blues-rock with a touch of soul, and he is in fine form, laying down plenty of excellent vocal performances which are underlined by the fine, clear production.
Gregg is occationally augumented by a horn section which makes "Searching For Simplicity" sound a little less Allman Brothers-like than it would have otherwise done, and he is backed by a slew of really good musicians which include (at various times) guitarists Scott Boyer, Jack Pearson and current Allman Brothers slide slinger Derek Trucks.
There is less guitar candy here on the Allman Brothers' records, and that may disappoint some listeners, but the material is generally strong, most of it consisting of mid-tempo numbers with the occational slowie thrown in for good measure, and both Derek Trucks and Jack Pearson get off a number of sizzling solos.
Highlights include Gregg's wonderful, bouncy cover of John Hiatt's "Memphis In The Meantime", a great, soulful "Dark End Of The Street", the melodic R&B of "Rendezvous With The Blues", the tough, swaggering "Don't Deny Me", and the slide guitar-driven slow blues "Wolf's A-Howlin'", a gritty confessional piece which features harpist Topper Price.
All in all, "Searching For Simplicity" is a really solid, consistent record. Fans will definitely want a listen.
Good, solid, white boy blues.......2001-12-05
I heard the new version of 'whippin' post' on the radio and tracked down this cd. A great find. The new version of 'whippin post' has a more funky, island, clean, acoustic groove. Great version. The surprise is that the rest of the songs are solid blues songs (many covers)that are as good as anything the ABB has done in the last decade or so. What a shame that solid albums like this are heard by so few in this pop infested music world that we inhabit.Search for simplicity....
Solo Bro.......2000-10-21
This recent offering by Gregg is no doubt his strongest since "Laid Back". His solo outings have always featured his love of R&B and gospel. His offering of "Whipping Post" is a great stripped down version of the Brothers classic, and his version of John Hiatts "Memphis in the Meantime" has a nice groove to it. Overall a great complement to any ABB collection. Also try and find "Laid Back", and his double CD of ealy solo and demos "One More Try", which offers a look into the genius of Gregg Allman.

AWB Masterpiece.......2006-10-26
Although it doesn't contain any of their most well-known and biggest hit singles, AWB's "Soul Searching" release is; by far, the most cohesive project the group produced during its' career surge in the mid-to-late 1970's. After the success of the 'white album'(simply titled "AWB"); spearheaded by the smash single "Pick Up The Pieces"; and the hurry-up follow-up "Cut The Cake"; the boys from Scotland finally were able to take their time and develop a collection of songs that lent themselves to a more fully-realized, comprehensive approach to recording; producing what turned out to be one of the superior R&B/Funk albums of the decade. Some of R&B's most-inspired releases came in the wake of Marvin Gaye's "What's Going On" landmark album released in 1971, and this album follows that tradition of a conceptualized set of songs merged together to form a great work of music that can be enjoyed from start to finish without having to skip around low ebbs in the program. Perhaps because their two prior releases did succeed so well commercially, they were feeling somewhat ambitious and decided to work at turning out a more fully-developed presentation rather than just another batch of catchy songs plus filler for an album to support singles. These tracks are all standouts - even the ones that weren't released as singles - showing great variety and outstanding musicality; and the opening "Overture" with the recapitulating theme at the closing really added a touch of class to the overall production. I was in attendance at their performance at the Hollywood Palladium on the night that Marvin suddenly appeared onstage when they went into their cover of "I Heard It Through The Grapevine" and it virtually 'tore the roof off' the house that night! I always listen to this album whenever I feel somewhat 'off track' and it helps me get re-oriented back in the right direction every time. If you enjoy the party-time, fun side of their music; then here is their more serious, mature alternative side and a musical masterpiece, without a doubt!
Anything but average.......2005-08-07
These guys are anything but average, and this album proves it. They finally came into their own with this album. There earlier stuff seemed like they didn't know what they wanted to sound like but it's clear after this album. From the hit slow jam "A love of your own" to subtle funk of "I'm the one" they found the right groove. If you want to start your collection of AWB then start with this album.
Adult Contemporary AWB.......2004-06-20
This is the Average White Band's most mature and musically sophisticated studio album. If you like AWB for their radio-friendly funk workouts and catchy melodies, you would probably be happier with their earlier albums "AWB" and "Cut the Cake," or their "Best Of" compilation. "Soul Searching" has more of an adult contemporary sound, better suited for late-night Quiet Storm listening than for partying. The highlights of this album are the classic slow groove gem, "A Love of Your Own," and the breezy and jazzy uptempo "Queen of My Soul."
There are a couple of toe-tapping, head-bobbing funk songs here, most notably "Going Home," a great horn-dominated instrumental in the tradition of "Pickin' Up the Pieces" and "Cut the Cake." But even the midtempo numbers like "Love Your Life" and "I'm the One" have a jazzier, more adult feel than in AWB's earlier albums. As usual, the band is solid throughout, and the vocals, while thin and "average white," are competent and sincere. If you favor the jazzier, mellower side of AWB, this is the album for you.
memories ...................2001-11-04
THIS cd (lp when I first bought it!) FINALLY pulled my coattails to AWB.
Before this recording, I felt AWB was a "2nd division" funk aggregate, but from the introductory "Overture", I *HEARD* that these guys were finally on to a mini-funk masterpiece.
For my tastes, their pseudo-JBs workouts like "Cut The Cake" & "Pickin Up The Pieces" didnt move me too much, but the musics here,( ESPECIALLY the beautiful emotive ballad, "A LOVE OF YOURE OWN", and the jazzy "Soul Searchin'" and "Sunny Days") really struck a chord in me.
I decided to buy the cd-- my lp is shot-- and as I recently reviewed a Leon Ware cd on Amazon, I got to thinkin..... that the AWB boys appear a bit influenced by him also, as well as the other obvious influences in their "blue-eyed soul" style.
The only real "criticism" I have for this recording (and actually something that bothered me in general about the AWB) -- the group has NO distinguishable soloist of much facility.
I once read guitarist Alan Gorrie mention the group can "play be-bop" , but I hear NO connection in his guitar style/technique that validates his claim.
I WISH HE COULD "PLAY BE-BOP", such as Sugarfoot from the Ohio Players did/does.
Managgia, for my taste HE (Sugar) was the BADDEST guitar player on the "R&B" circuit --- the classic solo on "Sweet Sticky Thang" substantiates that , I believe.
I wish AWB had a little more "chops" in the solo department, this is all I am saying!
I do enjoy the "push it to the limits" singing stlye of AWB, their falsettos just barely "make it", it's part of the group's charm, hehehe!
This cd has that subtle funk- it aint gonna blow out the sub-woofers- but it really connects,con mucho duende!
Simply is a "must have" in anyones CD collection.
You folks that use the term "old school ", this is recording that is "timeless" in the tradition, I hope you like it!....
A Creative Gem From AWB.......2000-06-11
When I bought this album, I already had a gut feeling that I would be listening to something special. Well that's exactly what I expected upon hearing it. From the sweeping Overture to the closing Digging Deeper finale, the musical scope of this album is something that the band themselves must've been waiting for a good while to do. There are some familiar funky, self-conscious tunes like Love Your Life and the title track as well as some intimate, soulful laments such as A Love Of Your Own and Would You Stay. There's even an intense Latin-flavored track in Queen Of My Soul that turns out to be a real treat for genuine music lovers. I honestly don't think the level of inspired playing that the band had throughout this album can be found on any of their other releases, even the ones that are pretty decent in their own right. This one's almost surely a keeper and a must-have for AWB followers.

An album brimming with potential........2007-05-26
Proof's second full-length album, Searching For Jerry Garcia, was released in 2005; a year before his untimely death. I didn't check out this release until last year, after Proof had already lost his life; I was never too big on his work in D12, and neither he nor Bizarre(who both had albums come out within a small span of time) interested me enough to pick up their albums. Following his passing, all of the praise this album received wasn't surprising, but as someone who'd never listened to it, it seemed like another matter of a deceased artist getting unwarranted acclaim; I had to check for myself to see how it faired.
Initially, it didn't click with me. Having been inspired by the recent influx of Detroit-styled underground hip-hop coming out lately(J Dilla's extensive recordings, Black Milk, Phat Kat, etc), I decided to revist this album lately, and I must say, this album is highly dope. It's got a very non-Shady sound to it; in fact, its influences are heavily rooted in the Detroit underground scene. Funk, soul, and traditional hip-hop are all represented thoroughly on this album musically; and Proof rhymes over these dope beats with equally potent rhymes. If anyone ever thought Proof was a two-trick pony, relying only on D12's horrorcore and goofy antics, those beliefs are proven terribly wrong on this release.
Tracks like Forgive Me(which features a hypnotizing 50 hook) and Kurt Cobain reveal Proof's introspective, and brooding personality to the masses. In retrospect, it's awfully depressing that Proof was as obsessed with death as he was, but this style of paranoid influenced hip-hop has long been a staple of hip-hop since the murders of 2Pac and B.I.G. It's not all about melancholic, and angst ridden hip-hop though; Proof delivers some of the finest acid-influenced rap in recent memory. Gurls Wit Da Boom and Purple Gang are two of the finest examples of this, as they're funky anthems that any hip-hop head, no matter how cynical, should be able to get down and groove with.
Rest assured, there's plenty of the gun-toting rhymes abound on this release. Proof's complexity as a lyricist, and reflective personality make these all the more effective though. Unlike most emcees, Proof didn't beliedidn't believe he was invincible, and knew the end would inevitably come one day. Unfortunately, it came far too soon for Proof, as he never got his big break as a solo artist during his life time. Proof's Searching For Jerry Garcia is a very ill album overflowing with skills and potential; it's only a shame that potential was never fully realized, and now, never will be. While not flawless, nor classic, Searching For Jerry Garcia is certainly an album worth adding to your collection.
Great album.......2007-02-15
Proof's lp "Searching For Jerry Garcia" is a great release. He's got some really fresh stuff on here, and I'm actually glad that he released this on his own record label rather than on Shady Records. Since it was released on his own label, I didn't know what to expect, especially production wise. But, I don't think any of the beats fall short, and they all match Proof's rough and tough vocal tone. Proof had something pretty good to offer, I've also heard much of his underground stuff which is also very good as well. Best track is easily Kurt Kobain. It's a shame he passed on as early as he did, but he left us good music to remember him by.
good album, stolen beat.......2006-09-05
i dig this cd, proof kept some quality in the mainstream hip hop scene, may he rest in peace. but my biggest problem with this album is the last song "kurt kobain." the beat is straight up stolen from an atmosphere song (the woman with the tatooed hands) produced by ant, that was released in 2002. sampling is one thing, but ripping beats that have already been done is not cool.
I Miss The Hip Hop Shop.......2006-09-03
I just gotta say that out of D-12, Proof really was the illest MC. I have the UNDERGROUND EP, I have I MISS THE HIP HOP SHOP, and trust even back when he was killin it. For Proof fans or fans of Rap music, go out and cop it. Its a very good listen.
RIP Proof........2006-08-10
great album. not a classic. but a great album from beginning to end. it only shows the potential he had. and what music he could have done with more promotion and production on a major deal. those things we will never know. but i do know that this is must have album in its own way. RIP PROOF

Album Description
Upon hearing the debut album by alt-country singer-songwriter Jim White, The Mysterious Tale of How I Shouted Wrong-Eyed Jesus, British commercials director Andrew Douglas contacted Jim and the two set out to make Douglas' feature film debut by exploring the deep South.
"The resulting documentary," says Variety, "reps a very European look at quintessentially American milieu, a marriage exemplified by its cool, painterly visuals and southern gothic cast of characters." Searching For The Wrong-Eyed Jesus is a thought-provoking road trip through the American south - a world of churches; prison; coalmines; truck stops; juke joints; swamps; and mountains.
Along the way the viewer encounters various musicians, including the Handsome Family, Johnny Dowd, 16 Horsepower and David Johansen; old time banjo player Lee Sexton, rockabilly and mountain Gospel churches and novelist Harry Crews telling grisly stories down a dirt track.
The film is a collage of stories and testimonies, almost invariably of sudden death, sin or redemption: heaven or hell, with no middle ground. And all the while, a strange southern Jesus looms in the background. The music in Searching For The Wrong-Eyed Jesus adds a haunting melody to the already unforgettable imagery on screen. This collection of songs is a wonderfully eclectic soundtrack of blues, Gospel, and "sadcore" indie tunes.
Customer Reviews:
I guess I'll have to wait for the DVD.......2005-10-26
This is a fine album, but it pales in comparison to the aural experience provided by the film. I was disappointed that so much of the good music from the film is absent from the CD. Of fifteen tracks, two are extremely short, non-musical snippets from the soundtrack, and four are Jim White numbers. There is only one (albeit excellent) track by the breathtaking Handsome Family, and, thank goodness the Johnny Dowd/Maggie Brown duet is included -- these folks have voices that just plain work together! Saddest for me, the church music is missing, which is a shame -- those of us in dying so-called "mainline" churches can learn a lot from these folks! I guess I'll have to wait for the DVD!
Soundtrack inspired by an album inspired by the South.......2005-06-09
I haven't seen the movie www.searchingforthewrongeyedjesus.com yet, but being familiar with the previous work of its narrator, Jim White, I think I've got a fairly good idea of what to expect. In listening to it, the most immediate comparison that comes to mind is the soundtrack from "Oh Brother where art thou?". I'm told that soundtrack is one of the most successful movie soundtracks of the last 20 years.
For those who cross referenced here from the "Oh Brother" soundtrack, I'm here to tell you "Searching for..." is just as good, and probably better. The story of "Oh Brother" is supposedly derived from Homer's Odyssey, and contains the narrative of three escaped convicts searching for a buried treasure.
While "Searching for the Wrong Eyed Jesus" is a documentary, and "Oh Brother" is based on a storyline, what the two movies have in common other than a strikingly similar musical thread tying them together, is that each probes and explores the underbelly of the south. If I recall correctly, the convicts in "Oh Brother" never do find the treasure, but the treasure that both of these films reveal, are the secrets of the deep south.
Visitors to, and even residents of the deep south, might not notice what lies just beneath the surface while traveling from one town to another. After all, at first glance, other than the ubiquitous kudzu and Waffle Houses, things aren't so different from anywhere else in America, with Wal Marts, strip malls and delapidated shopping centers dominating the landscape.
"Oh Brother" is set in the 1930's. In "Searching for the Wrong Eyed Jesus", Jim White documents how little has changed in the last 60 or 70 years, if you're just willing to come with him, and take a peek beneath the surface.
The first thing that strikes you when listening to "Searching..." is the intense sound of the birdlife from the south that ties the soundtrack together. It's almost like being in a jungle of South America if you listen for it closely, but most people who live in, or visit the deep south, tune this out on a daily basis. The sound of this birdlife can actually be quite eerie once you start hearing it, not only on the soundtrack, but as you move about in the south. The inclusion of it throughout the soundtrack could easily symbolize the eerieness of the poverty and despair, the pentecostal religion, sin, and the search for redemption among many people in the south. While "Oh Brother" has a lot of humorous moments in it, both movies search for, and find, then convey, the stark and melancholic beauty of the south.
For those who may not be familiar with Jim White, several of his songs are included on this soundtrack, and all of his albums are well worth exploring. It was his first record, "The mysterious tale of how I shouted 'the wrong eyed Jesus!'" that inspired the documentary in the first place, and Andrew Douglas couldn't have picked a better narrator.

One of the early-1980s' best R&B groups........2007-05-13
Unlimited Touch recorded some great music for Prelude Records during the early-1980s and this CD brings you their best. "I Hear Music In The Streets", "Private Party", "Love Explosion",the title track and several other cuts featured here were cult classics of the post-disco Dance Music scene. If you like '80s R&B then this CD is a must-have for your collection.
Just try not to jam, however..........2004-05-14
The first handful of songs here are masterpieces. aya ou will not be able to sit still, especially with I Hear Music in the Streets. What a jam! Searching to Find the One comes almost as close.
My problem is that this is a condensation of the two albums the band made for Prelude. Unfortunately the material off of the
second album comes nowhere near what was from the first album. I'm not saying that any of it is bad, but it is not good either. Even more of a robbery is that Happy Ever After from the first album is not included ... ? That's the real reason I have subtracted a star ... what a great oppertunity they missed.
If you are into classic dance music you will enjoy this. Don't be at all surprised to find some duds here as well. On the whole this is the only way to have any Unlimited Touch on disc and I suppose we must accept whatever we can get our hands on.
Private party.......2003-08-06
Private party is not the most straight song of the album, but it sure is one of the funkiest tracks of this album. The bass that goes through this song is amasing and the flute is just great. I can remember when it came out and was woted soul album of the year by some magazine. I still enjoy that album on vinyl. The only problem the CD reissue has, is that it consists of 2 Unltd. touch LP's and they cut of one of the nicest tracks: " Carry on ", which is a real nice midtempo groover. Ooh! How I hate those 2 albums on 1 cd. I'd rather pay double and get them seperately. That would never had happened had it been reissued in Japan!!. The U.S record companies could learn a thing or two there.
Unlimited Jams.......2002-02-08
The jams that help in putting Prelude Records and the label's own on the map are here. The funky "I Hear Music in the Streets," "Searching to Find the One," and "Nobody Can Love Me" will forever stand the test of time. These are definite powerhouse jams that really make block parties happen.
UNLIMITED OLD SHCOOL.......2000-10-12
I AM A PROGRAM DIRECTOR AND AIR PERSONALITY FOR A MUSIC STATION IN WASHINGTON, D.C. SEARCHING TO FIND THE ONE WAS ONE OF THE MORE POPULAR DANCE SONGS OF THE 70'S. IF I PLAYED THIS SONG ON MY RADIO STATION TODAY, I WOULD STILL GET CALLS FROM LISTENERS AND DJ'S ALIKE! SOMEONE TURNED ME ON TO AMAZON.COM AND SAID IF ANYBODY HAS THIS SONG, AMAZON.COM SHOULD BE YOUR FIRST STOP.! THEY WERE RIGHT! THANKS

We Are always searching for new bands.......2006-05-30
And I just happened to fall on a great one! This band has a lot of potential and lost sof talents. They are in the vein of My Chemical Romance (but better) and Thrice (but not as good). I thought the doube vocals similar to Lacuna Coil's where a man and a woman are singing are very effective since they can reach a high set of notes. The music is slightly progressive, a bit goth, and quite emo, this is against all expectations a very good mix! The one thing I found annoying though, were the frequent blanks with weird music in it, although these are becoming more common and fit very well in some music, this band sometimes overdoes it.
The pianos and violins blend in very well with the rest of the music and they are what gives it that goth touch. The guitarists are quite talented, and there is a short but sweet solo in kiss me like you wanted. The singer sings pretty well, not great, but he screams a bit too much in this music where there should be long sentimental notes. It also sounds like he is trying to copy Gerard Way from MCR in some songs with the great big gasps and dog barks. The girl sings very well and has a beautiful voice, she is a nice original addition to this band.
Overall a very good album which I would rate 4.5 if I could
Why parts of this album are good.......2006-05-24
I listened to some of the songs off this album. Especially in Lady Madeline, I found some of the lyrics good and the rest just emo drivel--and bad emo drivel at that. So I did a search online for some of the lines from Lady M and wouldn't you know, I came upon a website by a poet named Jason Paul Fox. He wrote most of his poetry 15-20 years ago, when many of the members of IAG were very young children at best. I looked through the album to find Mr Fox credited, but his name appears nowhere. So, kiddies, now you know where they came up with such great poetry. Sorry to burst your bubble.
This CD is amazing!.......2006-04-06
Alright, for those of you who say "go listen to MCR", what are you thinking?!?! This band has SO much more originality, much better vocals, we don't need any whiney Gerard Way here, the guitars are much more innovative, the strings and piano not only back up the song but add their own style. They are musical geniuses, everything fits together perfectly, to create an amazing sound! Goth rock/screamo/punk whatever you want to call it, it's amazing, and definetly worth whatever you pay for it. I Am Ghost is an amazing band, and wonderful people as well.
I AM GHOST is AWESOME.......2006-03-24
Great lyrics, great music, awesome sound. Really glad I bought this album. I Am Ghost will reach the top soon.
The cover captures right away.......2005-12-30
okay jsut want to say that I bought this cd not even knowing who the hell the band were cuz I had money to spare blah blah blah..
newayz on the cover it caught my attention right away with its beautifull artwork and confuzzing yet captive name.. On the front it said for fans of my chemical romance, from first to last and thrice I think it was.. and on the back they said they are known for being able to mix goth rock with pianos and violins.. so for me thats a must
First song creeped me out, I was like now this is goth rock.. then the rest came in..
It sounds good,, great quality,, kick ass riffs and great singers..
but the whole deal with this album is just that it got " Too Creative".. too creative for its own good.. this band is hella creative.. but the producers did not do a very good job on limiting the bands imagination to a level where they are doing something new and sounding good at desame time.. there shuld be more female singers,, the guys good and all but ya know it goth rock when the chikk starts singing thats when it really gets freakky!!
This band has no doubt lots and lots of talents.. but gahd they are trying waaay too hard to impress,,, its their first album.. they didint have to try and go platinum... ehh was still good, worth yer 15 bukks

A lot of people mentioned that they can't find the songs of the singles in the CD. The interface in the CD is not very clear. The best way is to use Explorer on the CD. The song files are in Quicktime MOV format in the folder D:\DATA\QTS. I opened the files on Itunes and converted them to audio format. These files CAN'T be played from the original CD on a CD player.
Amazing Energy from a Storied British Pub Band.......2006-02-28
Dexy's, in their earlier days, were quite the sonic performers. This album does not contain any of that "Come On Irene" stuff we all saw on MTV back in the early 80s. Nope. This effort shows the true, working-class, blue beat aficianados who could put out a wall of sound and rock the local football supporters into a frenzy with pulsing, frenetic songs. This is the good stuff, for sure. Truly, you won't believe that this band is the same one that donned those queer, matching railroad coveralls and bandanas, and skipped around like a bunch of Kansas City faggots on the telly, chanting "Too Rye Ayeeeeeeeeeeeeee." If you can forgive them that transgression (and I know it'll be difficult), it's well worth your time to check out "Searching ... ." Solid goodness.

I bought this CD having read 'A Music Fans' review not expecting to find any additional tracks and when I found the first five singles (A & B sides) I was delighted. As far as I can tell some of these tracks are not available anywhere else on CD. Tracks like The Horse, Dance Stance (the original version of Burn It Down) and Soul Finger really added to the whole concept of this album. Kevin Rowland has never sounded angrier.
I thought that this would be "Geno".......2004-09-19
I am somewhat confused. I thought that this would have all the tracks that were on the Geno LP but, alas... no.
Only 4 tracks from "Geno" made it on to this CD:
1) Geno
2) There, There My Dear
3) Keep It
4) I'm Just Looking
The other tracks on this album are taken from other sources. Now, please do not get me wrong... I really like anything by Dexy's Midnight Runners; it just cheeses me off that I have to end up purchasing 3 more CDs just to get the original track listing from the "Geno" LP. Also, "The Horse" (from "Geno") is not available anywhere on CD!... thank you.

Extraordinarily literate and thoroughly compelling, The Wicker Man has often been called the Citizen Kane of horror movies. Writer Anthony Shaffer and director Robin Hardy built their contemporary (1973) English murder mystery/thriller upon gothic Druid underpinnings and wisely gave songwriter-composer Paul Giovanni (whose first and only film score this is) the freedom to create music of a piece. The score remains one of the most unusual in the entire genre: a collection of original, well-researched folk songs and instrumental underscore that evoke a rare, eerily discomfiting sense of displaced time and place--'70s folk-pop informed by ancient forces of nature and superstition. Long a holy grail among soundtrack aficionados, this lavishly packaged and annotated release has been prepared from recently discovered master tapes with a clarity and presence that gives the late Giovanni's haunting music the gratifying showcase it's so long deserved. --Jerry McCulley

Extraordinary soundtrack.......2007-07-24
This may be the best movie soundtrack of all time. The music conjures up images of the film, just as the film conjures up images of the music. Tracks like "Corn Rigs" are remarkable, while "Gently Johnny" and "WIllow's Song" are, for me, perhaps the most erotic songs ever penned given the context of the movie. A truly haunting film and a stunning sound-track. I should add that I generally loathe folk music, but this is something else.
great music.......2006-09-01
This is part of the perfection of this movie. The music set the tone. I had this and lost it. Glad to see it's out and about again.
I think in one version, Corman's he changed some of the music and it lessened the impact.
I Digs Them Corn Rigs.......2006-08-07
Pretty much what it boils down to is that if you like the music from the film, you'll like this soundtrack. I can't imagine anyone else but a fan of the film wanting to hear or buy this. The sound quality is top notch. These songs are pretty cool(though most folks tend to think they're just silly as hell. Funny how that is considering bands like Slipknot are popular nowdays), yet you definately have to be in the mood for them. I do anyway. I wouldn't recommend blasting it in the ghetto, but when the mood hits to relive naked women jumping through a fire or Britt Ekland prancing around topless while spanking herself, no other cd will do.
Movie and music are inseparable.......2006-08-02
I recently bought the dvd and was blown away - couldn't stop thinking about it. The music haunted me, especially the opening music, I wish it was longer. Movie and music are inseparable. When I play the CD I can picture every scene in the film.
A Great CD.......2006-06-27
Anyone who has seen the movie The Wicker Man knows how great the music is and how important it was in setting the mood of the movie. That great experience is carried over into this CD. If you enjoyed the music in the movie or like folk music this CD is a great addition to your collection. The CD is very nicely packaged, coming in a slip box case with beautiful artwork. The box holds the CD case as well as a little book that provides information about the movie and the music. It is a nice read for any fan. The CD case also contains a fold out of a movie poster on one side as well as a few smaller ones on the backside. The music is beautiful, enjoyable, and diverse. This really is a must have for any one who likes the movie and will make a beautiful addition for anyone who just likes the music.
