From the first track to the last, Teen Spirit is pure, delicious teen pop. Unlike American pubescent stars, the A*Teens have no funky ambitions and nothing to prove. Each cut is more infectious than the last, pulling you out of your skepticism by compelling your feet to move and your butt to shake in time to the catchy beat. Also unlike many of their American counterparts, the A*Teens' voices are strong enough to carry the tunes. You won't get frightened off by Aguilera-inspired histrionics or Spears-esque growling and grunting. These kids sing with age-appropriate lyrics and a distinct lack of bumping and grinding. Teen Spirit breaks no new ground, but the uniform "goodness" of the kids--pictured playing with makeup (girls) and playing outside (boys)--makes you want to root for them and, ultimately, makes you want to own the disc. --Courtney Kemp

Product Description
Heavy Metal or Heavy Mellow? What if Slash, Kirk Hammet, or Richie Sambora learned the piano instead of guitar? It would have sounded something like this... Pianist Scott D. Davis reveals his rock roots with his latest CD "Rockfluence", performing some of his favorite rock songs, guitar solos and all, with nothing but a solo grand piano. Includes songs originally recorded by Guns 'N' Roses, The Eagles, Evanescence, Metallica, Nirvana, Led Zeppelin, Linkin Park, Bon Jovi, Journey, Europe, Billy Idol, and one Scott D. Davis original.Customer Reviews:
A Perfect Blend of Piano Solo and Rock-N-Roll.......2006-06-30
Fabulous!.......2006-02-20
from Solo Piano Publications.......2006-02-07
"Rockfluence" opens with "Sweet Child O' Mine" by Guns N' Roses, a song full of rock-style tenderness and love. "Hotel California" is given a full almost-eight minute treatment that is very true to the original. "My Immortal" by Evanescence is a quieter slow-dance ballad that Davis fills with passion. "Nothing Else Matters" from Metallica is dark and very intense - a beautiful arrangement! I couldn't quite imagine "Stairway to Heaven" as a piano solo, but it works well! I really like the mystery and drive of "Wanted Dead or Alive" from Bon Jovi. "Open Arms" from Journey is one of my favorite songs from the early `80's, and Davis keeps it warm and loving - also a great arrangement! Another favorite is Europe's "The Final Countdown," a powerful, emotionally charged song with a gorgeous melody. Billy Idol's "White Wedding" really rocks, leading up to the closing track, Davis' own "Scherzo," a musical term that means "joke." I first heard this impressive piece in a live setting, and it really makes people sit up and take notice! Davis' fingers fly all over the piano with the various themes of the piece, which range from slow and almost sedate to a wild and crazy romp that makes me think of chase scenes in old movies. "Scherzo" clearly demonstrates Scott Davis' playing chops as well as his musical sense of humor. Fun!
"Rockfluence" is truly a musical good time, showing what these rock classics sound like stripped down to one instrument and no vocals. Good stuff!

Different Perspective.......2006-07-13
This cd is great for anyone interested in hearing the depth of a music genre. Typically when you hear a rock song, you dont hear really how the singer is supposed to influence the musical sense of the songs, but when the singer's role is put into a more balanced/equal role with the rest of the musicians, it contributes so much more to the musicality of the song. It is great for beginner musicians to understand that the singer has to be in tune with the band because he is added depth to the music, not just vocals. College music majors might also get a kick out of this album as it widens your music perspective.
These cds from vitamin really show how rock is the next evolution to classical music, it shows that although lyrics were originally added, the artists used the basic form of classical music to write songs. They all contain a theme that is repeated in the music, and most offer a "waltz" part to the song, as well as a lyrical bridge.
Good cd for every so often to change you from the norm. really neat to switch out the lyrics every so often with some classical music. Enjoy it!
Not Much To Warrant Repeated Listenings.......2005-01-30
This album (and all of the others) veers awfully close to novelty status. On first listen, it's a real charge to hear teen angst anthems like "Smells Like Teen Spirit" transformed into sedate chamber music. But it doesn't really warrant repeated listenings. The main problem is that after a few songs, they all tend to sound alike. Twenty years ago, the Grammy-winning Kronos Quartet would include a Jimi Hendrix composition in live performances and the occasional recording, but they had the sense to know that this wouldn't work over the course of an entire album.
And the idea of juxtaposing classical instruments with popular music goes back even farther. In the sixties, the Hollyridge Strings released a series of albums performing the works of the Beatles, Elvis and the Beach Boys. Bottom line? This album will force you to hear these songs in a new way and might get a laugh or two if you slip it into the CD player at your next party, but there's little here to make you come back after you've heard it once. But at $6.98, it's an inexpensive gag gift for the alternative music fan in your life. [Running Time - 50:37]

STRINGS DIPPED IN PERFUME.......2006-06-29
The transition is painless.......2006-02-12
Although at first you may be put off by the idea of hearing your favorite rock in string quartet form, this CD should dispell any doubts. When done well, a string quartet tribute is at least as - if not more - valuable than the original.

Even in His Youth.......2007-05-28
My sister bought this single back in 91, and after I heard the b-side "Even in His Youth" I was blown away and had to own it. It's a heavy rocker with a catchy melody. The rest of the songs on the disc are disposable. Get this single for "Even in His Youth". You won't be disappointed.
Even in his youth + Smells like teen spirit + Aneurysm = THE BEST.......2006-04-25
if he didn't have a gun....how did he shoot himself?.......2006-03-31
As for the music, I could only say that shooting yourself doesn't make someone a "great writer" or a "great musician" and Nirvana proves this though and though. On this particular CD, Cobain mumbles his way though at least 1/3 of the lyrics while making absolutely no sense during the other 2/3 that are intelligible. In one particular song he outright lies when he sings the lyrics "no, I don't have a gun"...and I think we all know now that he in fact did have a gun.
Mmmmmm, Smells Good!!!.......2005-08-22
Wow this is unparalleled.......2005-08-06
Nirvana's got tons of worth while material and this is one part of it.

Outcesticide III: The Final Solution
Manufacturer: Blue Moon Records ProductGroup: Music Binding: Audio CD ASIN: B0002NJZTM |
Product Description
***** AMC Review: Since Nirvana's 1993 official odds-and-ends release Incesticide left many a stone unturned, there remained an insatiable demand for Nirvana rarities. That's where Blue Moon Records comes to the rescue. The Final Solution (the third installment of their Outcesticide series) does a good job of balancing the obscure with the well-known, and live versions with studio takes. The material varies from little-known covers (Fang's "The Money Will Roll Right In") to early demos ("Mr. Moustache" from 1988), radio sessions ("Drain You"), live versions ("Oh, the Guilt"), hits ("Smells Like Teen Spirit"), unreleased material ("Alcohol"), and oddities ("Beans"). Highlights include the sticky-sweet melodicism of "Blandest" (a rejected B-side for their "Love Buzz" 7"), the whispered and fragile "Marigold" (a Dave Grohl demo), and two different versions of "Dive" (one from early on with different lyrics, the other fully realized). None of the tracks on Outcesticde III are available anywhere else, except for "Tourette's" (listed here as "The Eagle Has Landed"), which ended up on the Wishkah live album. The sound quality is consistent, for the most part (with a downer here and there), but worth the time of any Nirvana fan searching for the uncommon. ***** Track Listing: ----- 1. Rape Me [live] -- 2. Pennyroyal Tea [live] -- 3. Drain You [live] -- 4. Marigold -- 5. Dive -- 6. Mr. Moustache -- 7. Blandest -- 8. Even in His Youth -- 9. Polly -- 10. Smells Like Teen Spirit [live] --11. Serve the Servants [live] -- 12. Dumb [live] -- 13. The Eagle Has Landed [live] -- 14. Aneurysm [live] -- 15. Oh, the Guilt [live] -- 16. Dive -- 17. About a Girl Cobain -- 18 The Money Will Roll Right In [live] -- 19 In His Hands [live] -- 20 Curmudgeon [live] Cobain, Nirvana -- 21 Alcohol -- 22 Run, Rabbit, Run! -- 23 Beans --Customer Reviews:

A*teens forever.......2007-04-22
Bouncing on the ceiling/ catchy, fun pop, and good vocals also the main single off the album
Halfway arounf the world/ is great and really proves that this isn't a one hit album
Sugar Rush/ a great, but slower song it is nicely put together and very sweet it is a good song
Back For More/ i would have to say a really good song and maybe better than some of the singles off this album
For all that I am/ a good beat and some good vocals and it proves that the group is reaching different genres of music and i love it
All my love/ probally the worst song on the album but still very good but it isn't nearly as catchy as the others
Slammin kinda love/ very good in that it really goes to different places when you listen to it
Rockin'/ i'd say probally the best song on the cd, it is so catchy and sort of darker than the others, a five star song
...To the music/ summer kind of feeling to it a good party song
Thats what its all about/ another example of under knowledgement it is a very good song and may be better than singles
Firefly/ a extremeley good ballad
Around the corner of your eye/ the better of the two ballads because it is so touching and heart felt
