Unexpected disappointment.......2007-06-29
Spiritually deep, worshipful, and real.......2007-05-14
Great Debut.......2007-04-16
Prior to that, I had only heard one of his songs, 'My Savior, My God'. It is a terrific song of praise. After hearing him sing several more of his songs, I decided to buy this album. It is well worth it.
There are several other songs on here that are very good. 'Glory to You' is a very catchy that you might just catch yourself singing well after you are done listening to the album. Other very good songs on this CD include the following: Matchless, Stillness (Speak To Me), and One Day.
Lyrically, this album is definitely about God and the focus is on him. There is not much here about struggles or complaints. It is very praise oriented.
There are two songs on this that seem to have excellent potential, but they are far too short - 'Give Me Words' and 'In Your Name'. I think both of them could be made into really good full length songs and I hope that Aaron considers doing that.
I would definitely recommend this CD. If you haven't heard much of his music, you will be in for a pleasant surprise.
Was hoping for better.......2007-04-10
"Aaron Shust sure to be a definite favorite" by BJ.......2007-04-09
"Give Me Words" is just a simple cry from the heart: 'Give me words to speak / Don't let my spirit sleep / 'Cause I can't think of anything worth saying' / and that's the whole song.
Next comes "Glory To You", another favorite, which is faster tempo-wise than "Give Me Words" and funner to sing to.
"Matchless", the first song I heard from Aaron, is fantastic. The verses just say a lot of the names that God is, while the chorus is something new and fresh.
"Let The People Praise" is slower, but really shows off Aaron's voice (like every other song).
The rest of the songs are pretty much the same kind of thing, but the last couple songs (excluding "My Savior My God") can get lost in the mix. However, this project is an excellent debut, and his highly recommended.

Pendergrass's second album after his departure from Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes continued his solo ascent. Life Is a Song Worth Singing masterfully mixes and matches moods, flowing from two very different anthems (the dramatic title track and the party jam "Get Down, Get Funky, Get Loose") through seductive classics such as "Close the Door." His rich vocals ride tasty Philly tracks on one of the city's true masterpieces. --Rickey WrightCustomer Reviews:
The peak..........2006-06-12
For me this IS Teddy's peak because this album has a great balance of upbeat and more mellow material while the albums after this focused more on the bedroom. They were still good albums, but the funk factor was sacrificed. This album and his self-titled solo debut are the ones I remember most and bring back the most memories of Teddy from my childhood before his injury.
Anyway, the balance, again, is what makes this album so great. I mean he can come out with FUNK on "Only You", disco-ish on the title cut, he gets DOWN, gets FUNKY, and gets loose (which sounds a lot a like the song Rerun always danced to on "What's Happenin'"), "When Somebody Loves You Back", and of course, "Close The Door."
Like Luther Vandross, a lot of people forget that Teddy had a hell of a way with dance-oriented and upbeat music. This album is proof positive. If you're looking to buy ONE album from Teddy, this is it.

Based on a story by Guy de Maupassant, Stephen Hartke's The Greater Good is an effective piece of musical storytelling. Against the background of the Franco-Prussian War a group of arrogant French bourgeois, a political agitator and a pair of nuns are traveling by coach to escape the Germans. Among them is Boule de Suif (literally, "Butterball" or, more appallingly, "ball of lard"), a generously built prostitute. Trapped in the coach and then in a German-occupied inn, Boule turns out to be a sensitive, generous woman (yes, a prostitute with a heart of gold). When it looks as if the only way they group will escape is if Boule sleeps with the Prussian Commandant, she does so for "the greater good" despite her hatred of the Germans. Rather than being grateful, her dreadful coach-mates judge her and ostracize her. It's a nasty satire of petit bourgeois shallowness and hypocrisy and a good story.Hartke's music is colorful and his orchestration paints situations - we hear the rocking of the coach, strings yawn out of boredom or exhaustion, the harps tinkle when it snows. He uses the light clanging of spoons when the group finally gets to eat at the Inn and, when Boule is doing her duty with the Prussian officer, we hear the creaking of bedsprings. The vocal lines are more exclamatory than melodic. The cast, led by Caroline Worra's Boule, is uniformly excellent. This is an interesting piece, worth hearing more than once. If only Naxos had supplied a libretto - the track-by-track synopsis is good, but much of the text gets lost. --Robert Levine

Disney management has often been accused of sacrificing the long-term quality of its animated features for the short-term pay-off of direct-to-video sequels to its middling modern successes. But as this soundtrack-sequel to the studio's 1998 quasi-feminist Chinese folk-tale proves, the music of such ventures can often compare favorably with that of the original. This new collection's buoyant "(I Wanna Be) Like Other Girls" is offered up in two versions: A more traditional stage musical take and an antic cover by Atomic Kitten that's pure teeny-bopping Disney Channel fodder. That's Harvey Fierstein lending his gravelly pipes to the equally spry redux of "A Girl Worth Fighting For," while the decidedly more angelic pipes of Kiwi teen soprano phenom Hayley Westenra grace the elegant "Here Beside Me" by Joel McNeely and Kate Light. Selections from McNeely's deft, emotionally understated orchestral score flesh out the collection. --Jerry McCulleyCustomer Reviews:
Alright...........2005-11-30
I wasn't impressed, but I did enjoy it.
Terrible movie, but good soundtrack!.......2005-11-03
The first song in this movie was "Lesson Number One", and it was my favourite. I love the choirs of children, it was perfect! It made me recognize the children's choirs in the church. Lea Salonga's voice was so sweet, and it's my favourite style! "A girl worth fighting for" came up in this soundtrak but it was remixed, and most of the lyrics were changed. Although it was very different from the original one, I love it. Because it gave me a good feeling, and I felt that it was more humorous than the original one. Another song named "Like other girls" is one of my favourites. Mei's voice was a little strange but very cute. The three princesses seemed to be crazy, but I could feel their emotion that they were eager of freedom and very unsetisfied with the arranged marrige. I felt very happy that they found their love and happiness by the end.
This was a movie which was so terrible but with perfect songs I have ever seen!
good cd.......2005-07-14
1. lesson number one- 5/5. cute song
2. main title (score)- 5/5. i thought this was so pretty!
3. like other girls- 5/5. i absolutely love this song! it has a great beat, and just makes you want to sing along.
4. girl worth fighting for (redux)- 5/5. i love this song too, its funny
5. here beside me- 5/5. the first time i listened to it, i thought it was "ok", but now i think its great!
6. (i wanna be) like other girls (atomic kitten)- 5/5. i thought it was a great version of the original.
the next five songs, which are scores, are also very good!
overall, this cd was well worth my money, and the movie was even better!

George Carlin is back and heâs funnier than ever. The Atlantic Records companion album to the four-time Grammy Award-Winning comicâs 13th HBO comedy concert, LIFE IS WORTH LOSING, is another Carlin classic, a collection of side-splitting riffs and splenetic rants that cut straight to the heart of 21st Century America. Recorded live at New York Cityâs Beacon Theater, LIFE IS WORTH LOSING fi nds the legendary comedian with his dander at full mast, unleashing his righteous rage at such topics as â~Dumb Americans,â â~Autoerotic Asphyxia,â â~Extreme Human Behavior,â and more. As ever, Carlinâs blend of hilarious comedy and biting commentary forces listeners to confront the dark truths of modern culture while trying to catch their breath from non-stop laughter.Customer Reviews:

Doing old material by Bill Hicks now too ???.......2007-06-29
But worst of all is hearing him do a piece on how it's always the good people(Jesus, Martin Luther King, JFK, John Lennon) who get assassinated - a complete steal from an identical routine from the early 90's by the late great Bill Hicks, except without a funny pay-off.I can understand an opportunist like Dennis Leary notoriously stealing from Hicks, but the great George Carlin too? What's going on?
Dark but truthful comedy.......2007-03-02
not really that good.......2006-12-18
First let me say that I am of the younger generation, in my 30's, and as such, came around to Carlin when he was already angry--and I loved it. In fact, my favorite album by him was You are All Diseased. With George, you not only learn a lot about our society and the way it works, as opposed to how it should work, but laugh a lot as well.
His latest album, Life is Worth Losing, simply put, is not really funny--its drab and bleak, and you can listen throughout the entire album without laughing hardly at all. He spends over 20 minutes alone, out of 70, on suicide. The best part, in my opinion, was his opening (I'm a modern man, a man for the millennium, digital and smoke-free...)." This is an amazing play on words that are part of our 21st century lexicon and he goes on for about 3 minutes, straight, in a monologue that is simply amazing. But his 2nd best part are tracks 5 and 6, and part of 7, where he examines how fat our society is (both in consumerism and people) and then goes off to talk about our failed education system, then rants about the corporations...then returns (from tracks 2,3,4) back to suicide (on track 7).
I must have listened to this album about 5x since it was in my car, and initially i did not like it, but grew over time to appreciate his work.
Do i recommend it? yes. but it was not nearly as witty as You are all Diseased.
But here is the problem--as I said I went to Caesar's to see him, and he puts this idiot Vance or Vince Gilbert on for the opening act, who is just plainly awful. People in the audience were calling for George to come out, people at my table were yawning and ignoring Gilbert. Gilbert was singing these ridiculous songs that were not funny nor entertaining on a guitar. After about 20 minutes of torture, Carlin comes out and berates us for about 2 minutes over the way we responded to Gilbert, saying "Hey, I don't need this s***. I've come all the way from California to hear this?" "I could care less whether you find my jokes funny or not."
And he went on and on. I thought that he was going to walk off, as it was his last night at AC, and he has been known to walk off the stage before if audiences didn't laugh.
Anyways, the good thing is, he stayed on, and his material is entirely NEW. He kept on saying over and over, I have new material now, new jokes that I guarantee you have not heard, etc. And he did. He had 3 recycled jokes, from what I could count: (I'm here for me, you're here for me, no ones here for you. cockroaches with self-doubt spray, and something else.) And he did acknowledge to us that he was too morbid with the Life is Worth Losing album, and also said that he was not a cynic, but a skeptic. And he kept on referring to these points throughout--as if he was severely criticized by others, and changed his material accordingly. Carlin did say that this new act was going on for 3 months, so he probably did not have that much time to perfect it, given his heart troubles. But he was stumbling over his notes, blew a couple of jokes, forgot some things, etc. And when he forgot one of the punch lines, he just waved his arm hard, down at the audience, as if could care less, like "forget it."
Are the jokes funny in his new act? Some were really good. But when it was over, my wife and I looked at each other, shrugged our shoulders, smiled a little, and walked out. People left with a smile on their face, but no one really talked about it. And it was such a quick act--about 50 minutes.
I wanted to like it, I really did. We couldn't get tickets til the last minute, so we had to call ticketmaster and pay 150.00 each. And we got lit with long island ice-t's, to have a really good, entertaining night.
Is he finished? No, I don't think so, but we cannot help but think he is 69 now, and stand-up has got to be tiresome.

A mid-eighties classic.......2005-06-06
Overall, this album is typical of George's early albums with its mix of ballads and western swing-influenced up-tempo songs. Instrumentation consists of steel, electric and acoustic guitars together with fiddle, mandolin, keyboards, bass and drums. Apart from the three tracks released as singles, I particularly like Any old time, You're dancing this dance all wrong and Honky tonk Saturday night.
If you enjoy George's music enough to want more than just the hits, you will derive a lot of enjoyment from this album.
A GREAT CD.......2005-01-01
A PIVOTAL ALBUM IN STRAIT'S STELLAR CAREER.......2004-02-11
Studded with hits like the title track DOES FORT WORTH EVER CROSS YOUR MIND, YOU'RE DANCIN' THIS DANCE ALL WRONG, COWBOY RIDES AWAY and FIREMAN, this album also offers other tracks that have become hits. But then that's an old story for George Strait--every track seems as fresh and as bright as the title song and there's never any filler to muddy things up.
Douglas McAllister
GS's big artistic statement.......2002-12-09
"Any Old Time" is a quick, breezy, fun sing-a-long with playful fiddle and guitar work. "I Need Someone Like Me," "Honky Tonk Saturday Night," "I Should Have Watched That First Step," and "What Did You Expect Me to Do" are toe-tapping honky-tonk numbers; songs you might think you want to skip until you get about ten seconds into them and start singing along. "Love Comes from the Other Side of Town" juxtaposes a light-hearted melody and arrangement with a pretty serious subject, cheating. Kind of like the country version of a punk rock idea, I guess. Regardless, it's too catchy to ignore.
The standout track on this album is the ballad "You're Dancin' This Dance All Wrong," my favorite GS song other than "The Chair." It's a bittersweet love ballad, celebrating a new love and looking back on an old one. Any other singer would have either slaughtered this song or turned it into a gaudy showcase for his voice, but GS's (as always) low-key, human delivery makes this song perfect.
This album is really best listened to in one sitting. And at under thirty minutes, that's not much of a problem. I give it my highest recommendation.
Good, but typical of country's slapdash approach to albums.......2001-08-09

This is Peruvian tenor Juan Diego Florez's first non-classical CD. He brings to the popular music of Latin America and Spain the same scrupulous musicianship, bright tone, and charm with which he approaches Donizetti and Rossini. Some of these songs are accompanied by full orchestra and some (such as "Ella" and "Mexico lindo y querido," for example) are with a shiny mariachi band, while a couple ("Fina stampa," "Bello Durmiente") have solo guitar as their backup. Florez has plenty of opportunity to show off his high notes--there are brilliant high Cs here and there--and his perfect vocal placement and portamento are most welcome. "Jurame," a sensual tango, is a fine example. While he can sing softly at times, Florez doesn't do quite enough with dynamics. A bit more variation would have been welcome, but he's very much in the spirit of this music. His "Granada" is stunning, and he gets the idiom of the "lounge music" numbers as well. His fans, and fans of music with this Latino tinge, will not be disappointed. --Robert LevineCustomer Reviews:
Beautifully Done.......2006-06-05
Unexpected and Old-Fashioned Latin Pop with a Gifted Florez in His Element.......2006-05-24
Pedro Elias Gutierrez's "Alma llanera" opens the disc with a flavorful, syncopated arrangement that would not sound out of place at the Tropicana nightclub in Havana, while the melancholy mariachi-style horns of Jose Alfredo Jimenez's "Ella" provides a nice Mexican atmosphere. There is a trio of songs by Maria Isabel Granda Larco from his native Peru all arranged impeccably by the singer himself - the openly romantic "La flor de la canela", the more somber "Bello durmiente" and best of all, the intimate-sounding "Fina estampa" with impressive fretwork by David Galvez. Florez dares to tackle the warhorses that are Agustin Lara's "Granada" and Ernesto Lecouna's "Siboney", and while he puts out the necessary stops, the songs are a bit too familiar to have full dramatic impact. The arrangement on "Siboney" especially gets a bit too bombastic with syrupy strings and pounding jungle drums.
Better are the decidedly old-fashioned "Princesita" with Daniel Binelli's tango-infused bandoneon (an accordion-like instrument) and Maria Grever's "Jurame", which sounds almost like a Mario Lanza operetta-style number from an MGM musical. My personal favorites come near the end of the recording - the tropically tinged ballad, Nilo Menendez and Adolfo Utrera's "Acquellos ojos verdes" and Chuco Monge's "Mexico lindo" with its dramatic tempo changes. With his stunning voice, Florez has such an affinity for this music that it is easy to overlook some of the overdone arrangements. This is a solid example of how a crossover recording can be done with the right blend of talent and music regardless of what genre we expect from a prodigious singer.
A bit disappointing.......2006-05-22
EXQUISITE.......2006-05-05
Fabulous!.......2006-04-04
This collection blows any other tenor's effort out of the water. I did not think that fully fledged operatic tenor could sing such swinging Latin music and sound so good. Domingo and his often tacky Broadway collections, and Carreras misguided attempts, it's all forgotten now. Florez is the new Mambo King.
I love all the songs, what incredible finds they are. There is only one rehashed song, the famous Granada, but Florez version is fantastic. I have to admit I do not love all of his opera singing, his quick vibratto works only intermittedly, and certainly he is very good in Rossini, but his Verdi is disappointing... not that it matters on this album. I did not know he started singing in the popular music field, but it certainly shows. Muchas gracias, Sr Florez for this fabulous gift, this Sentimiento Latino. Very cool and highly recommended.

Amazon.com
Texas-born Lee Ann Womack made bold new strides with her landmark third album, 2000's I Hope You Dance. With Something Worth Leaving Behind, she's delivered yet another impeccable, mature, and emotionally powerful song collection that will no doubt resound just as dramatically with listeners. Soulful, inward, aching, and cautiously celebratory by turns, these exquisite songs and masterful performances are anchored by the timely and hauntingly introspective title tune. Among the 12 other gems are a pair of powerfully rendered Julie Miller originals (the wailing, teeth-gnashing "I Need You" and the eerie, medieval-sounding "Orphan Train"), a wistful Bruce Robison-penned confessional called "Blame It on Me" (to which Robison contributes harmonies), and an angry, show-stopping Matraca Berg sendoff called "You Should Have Lied." --Bob AllenCustomer Reviews:
still worth checking out........2005-02-23
i like the first 6 songs, and i knida like songs 7 i need you.. i like the vibe of the song, but then i kinda fall of. her voice sounds really great on this album, she is better then ever in that department, but not all the songs are as good. The lyrics are good on almost every song, but from song 7 and out, some of the melodies are not really down my street. though track 10, surrend is pretty okay, especialy if you listen to it in head phones, but still it's not as good as any of the first 6 songs. And i like the song "closing this memory down", i like the lyrics and her voice on this song... but it's not a 5 star song in and off it self.
even though this si not a flawless album, it's still worth checking out. casue some of the cuts are really amazing and worth a listen. so i would recomend to check it out.
