Rise Against returns with a rollicking wallop of an album that further establishes the Chicago-based outfit as one of the great bright hopes for the future of alienation rock. Cut from the same savvy cloth as Bad Religion and Black Flag, Rise Against rocks hard during the martial opus opener, "Chamber The Cartridge," the melodic "Injection," which asks us to imagine that Iron Maiden came from sunny California and not some dreary part of London, and "Ready To Fall," which may be one of the greatest anthems of adolescent estrangement since The Who's "Baba O'Riley." The band also isn't afraid of a good hook and scintillating melody ("Under The Knife"), exploring complex emotions ("Roadside"), or unleashing a bit of old-school breakneck fury sans apology ("Brick"). All of these things demonstrate that Rise Against is drawing from a broader palette than many of its counterparts, one of the reasons it will (indeed, already has) rise above the masses of sound-alike acts vying for the attention of the MySpace generation.-Jedd Beaudoin

Rise Against does it again.......2007-06-18

I'm going to write a lot so skip this if you hate reading, but I'd advise not. Read it and get a good opinion on an even better band.

Before last year I'd never really heard of Rise Against. One of my guy friends would always sing the screaming parts of Ready to Fall, and I loved it, but I never knew who sung it. During one of my long searches for interesting music on here I came across this cd. I sampled Ready to Fall and right away I knew the song. I bought it just because of that. And I love it. since then I've gotten more of Rise Against's cd's and I still don't understand why they aren't more famous. Their music, if you could say that punk could be, is beautiful. it's really attention grabbing and addictive.

The songs are different than past albums, but they are more matture in some way, still political, but it's more hidden in the songs, it's not as direct as in Siren Song of the Counter Culture.

I'm not gunna rate the songs because that would be my opinion. I'm reviewing the songs as if I don't care about the music and I'm just here to review it.(though I really love it and I'm trying really hard to give you an honest opinion, but hey don't kill me if I make them sound a little better than they really are)

1.CHAMBER IN THE CARTRIDGE-This song is a great opener for the album. The beginning is really different **This is noise**...and then the guitar starts. It adds a really interesting effect and makes you somewhat interested. The beginning guitar kind of drags on a bit, but the lyrics finally start. Throughout the rest of the song the lyrics are pretty much the chorus and a few verses, but nothing too out of the ordinary. There's the hidden political view in this song if you listen.

2.INJECTION-The guitar in the beginning catches your attention and the lyrics are really well written. Because almost everyone can relate to something he sings throughout the entire song. It's a **oh, i know what thats like** sort of feeling throughout the song. The lyrics stand out more than the guitar in most of this song. They don't overpower it, but you focus more on his voice.

3.READY TO FALL-The albums first single. It's a catchy song. The lyrics are really simple, but in a good way. Not too simple but well though out. The guitar blends in with the singing during the chorus which makes his voice stand out. Nothing is really special about the song(like an awesome solo or insane guitars or drumming), but the way Rise Against put the music and the lyrics together make this song really stand out. It's addicting to listen to because it's repetitive in a good way.

4.BRICKS-For only 1:30 long this song is a standout one. From the beginning the guitars and drums are fast. A pure straight up punk fast song that makes you want to get up and start a fire and riot during the song. The lyrics too, and on to it's pure punk feeling, adding its politicalness slightly, and it would go unnoticed if not listened to and accepted.

5.UNDER THE KNIFE-From the start of the song you know it's going to be a good one. The opening riff is catchy. The chorus(guitar part) has part of the intro in it which keeps the song alive (though the lyrics could by themselves). Again the guitar stands out with pounding drums and a thrundering bass to go along with it.

6.PRAYER OF THE REFUGEE-The beginnig with the guitar and bass is captivating. it catches your attention, because this song doesn't start out as heavy as the others. It gradually builds up to it with a scream along worthy chorus. Throughout the rest of the song after the chorus the music starts to keep its usual punky heaviness and about 3/4 of the way through slow down to the beginning riff and immedietly go into the loud chorus.

7.DRONES-Picks up from the ending of Prayer of the Refugee and kicks up from there. With a raging bass and drum beginning and a screaming guitar slide whats not to like about it? The lyrics are very catchy and you know you can relate to them when you have those "days" and want someone there for you. The guitar, bass and drums continute to rage with the beginning heaviness for the rest of the song. Again the hinting politicalness in the song(I'm not saying that's a bad thing. It's great that they can express politics through music. Its a talent and I love it.).

8.THE APPROACHING CURVE-They tell a story, which is a great addition to the album, and they don't do a bad job either. This song is captivating you get sucked into it. The girls vocals in the background(very quietly) was different, but a great addition to the song. It makes it more addicting and true if you relate. The guitars, bass and drums make a melody that go along with the song perfectly making the song something you could really lose yourself in and just focus on the song.

9.WORTH DYING FOR-The drums immediatly start in the beginning which makes a great entrance to a good song. The lyrics are very well written and go great with the album and everything going on in the world right now. The guitar througout is fast, like the drums and bass and make the song worth listening to because they add fastness and an addicting touch(though the lyrics help out so much). Speaking of the lyrics, they make the song so much better and add emotion to it.

10.BEHIND CLOSED DOORS-The singing and guitar make a perfect beginning for this song. You can relate to the lyrics and you could defniitally see a solider sing this song during war **we will survive**...The guitar and drums, bass too throughout the rest of the song is exceptional and keeps you hanging, like the lyrics. With pauses at the end of lines during some of the verse parts it adds a great effect of suspense. All in all this song is a good one and fits this album like the plastic cover the cd comes in.

11.ROADSIDE-I guess you could call this the Swing Life Away of The Sufferer And the Wittness. Somewhat slower and acoustic than all of the other songs. Here the girl singing is much louder than the occasional whisper in The Approaching Curve. It's a great addition to the song seeing that it's already different. So many people know what he feels while singing in the song. The guitar is the thing that really stands out over the drums(if hardly any) and bass(if it plays a little), but the lyrics overpower all of that with emotion.

12.THE GOOD LEFT UNDONE-The Guitar in the beginning again catches your attention. The vocals with the flower are different from any other song on this album which makes it unique. The vocals in gemeral are very good, the lyrics, well written and catchy, while the guitar and bass play on in harmony making an awesome rythm to the song as the drums play a great beat you practially want to air drum out. Then the ending, you think the song has changed, but it hasn't ans ends completly differently which keeps you on the edge of your seat waiting for that last song.

13.SURVIVE-The guitar immediatly starts out heavy with matching drums. Perfect. A heavy punk song at the end of the album to add the finishing touches. The vocals you want to sing along with they're so catchy while the guitar and drums pour out their hearts giving it their best to be awesome. They got it. With the vocals, the well written lyrics, and and greatly put together music, Survive is the perfect ending track to an already well put together album.

THATS IT!! If you're an old Rise Against fan you'll definately appriciate their new album, though different. If you're a new fan you'll love the new and enjoy the old as well. All in all, buy this album, you won't be disapointed with it if you're a punk-hardcoreish fan.

Rise Against is a band to want to jump up and down and just straight up rock out to.

an excellent post-punk album.......2007-06-13

You know, I absolutely can't stand punk music. To me, it's the most unoriginal genre of music ever- each and every punk band sounds exactly the same to me. Which is why it surprises me to no end that I really like Rise Against. The Sufferer and the Witness was my first foray into Rise Against's world and I must say I'm interested in finding out more about their other works.

To me, all the songs are very good, but there are only a few truly standout tracks: their first single from TSatW, Ready to Fall, Drones, Chamber the Cartridge, and my personal favorite from the album- Roadside.

All I have to say is that if more bands sounded like Rise Against, I might not have such a vendetta against the genre. Enjoy- I sure did.

Awesome CD!!!.......2007-06-01

I Think This Is The Best Rise Against CD So Far! Almost Every Song On This Album Is Awesome.I Think That About 4 Songs Really Stand Out On This Album.Go Out & Purchase This CD!

*Chamber the Cartridge
*Ready To Fall
*Prayer of the Refugee
*Drones

wow!!!!.......2007-05-15

man this cd is kick azz from start to finish. i would give it a 6 if i could. All of there cd's are good but this one is great.

Addictive from start to finish.....like a good beer.......2007-04-09

This is quite simply a refreshing album. For me anyways it is. I had heard of Rise Against before but never really gave them a chance or second notice. But my friend played a long drive a few weeks ago and what I heard made me want to hear more, much more. I'm glad I decided to do so as this is all that I've been listening to since. Upon listening to the album its readily apparent that Rise Against has loads of talent. Another thing this album does right is grab you by your upper ear loab and not let go untill its ripped off and bleeding. Like previous albums, "The Sufferer & the Witness" is relentless from start to finish, but its utterly addictive during the whole thing. There really isn't a weak track on the whole album, but certain tracks are certainly stronger than others.

I personally have found this album to be a breath of fresh air, and this really is not even my style of music. It has a unique feel to it, a big part of that being the vocals, which I find to be quite good. The only complaint I could have against this album is that it does tend to sound all the same. But on the other hand, if you like what that sounds like, its all good. You just don't have any slower songs to really break up the pace of the album.

Great album, give it a chance, I dare you not to get addicted to it. The only question I have is will it stand the test of time and be a "classic" album years from now. Only time and perhaps only you can tell. Will you?

Chanticleer's repertoire ranges through many centuries. On this recording, the group again proves its infinite versatility in a program of gospel music and spirituals. The singing is so authentic that one feels like a participant in a gospel meeting, swaying to the rhythm with the crowd. Contributing greatly to the impact is Chanticleer's guest, Yvette A. Funder. Possessor of a voice remarkable for its range, power, and flexibility, she brings to the music the empathy and authority of one born and raised in the tradition, whether leading call-and-response, engaging in improvisations that soar high above the chorus, crooning softly in meditation, or shouting in ecstasy. (She is also an active Bishop ministering to the poor and afflicted, and the founder of various social service agencies in California.) Several songs include soloists drawn from the chorus as well, most notably a tenor, a countertenor and a bass who provides a rhythmic ostinato. The program, designed for maximum variety of tempo, mood, character and texture, includes many favorite songs and spirituals, such as "Amazing Grace," "There is a Balm in Gilead," "Sometimes I Feel like a Motherless Child." The arrangements by Joseph Jennings, Chanticleer's Music Director for 20 years, are admirably simple and very good; only a few are marred by awkward modulations or overly sophisticated, Hollywood-inspired effects. Most of them are for a cappella voices. Jennings also contributes a new original composition: "Be still and Know that I'm God." Repeating these words like an invocation, it builds a cumulative drama with increasingly wild, elaborate improvisations in call-and-response between soloist and chorus; supported by a prominent piano part that includes solos, chordal and running passages, it ends with a rousing climax. --Edith Eisler

Customer Reviews:

Chanticleer, with Bp. Flunder: INDEED - How Very Sweet The Sound.......2006-02-10

On this standard red book 16-bit CD we are offered that rare and special invitation: Come now, pilgrim - take yet another good step forward in gospel praise or supplication. How can we progress in our individual and collective spiritual journeys towards whatever transcendent glories ground us, revive us, and lead us on despite life's challenges, unless we sing?. Are you having set backs? This CD is good medicine, and it is both a worthy addition to the gospel music shelf and perhaps just the sort of musical medicine that turns out to be good for you, on more than one level of body, mind, and soul. Not a bitter root aftertaste, nor a nagging fishy oil payback in any of this welcome elixir. I guess that is why we call it, Good News.

The arrangements of new and old gospel standards have been set by counter-tenor Joseph Jennings - a leading Chanticleer member of long standing - intently drawing upon both the florid improvisations of the soloists and gospel groups climbing ever so dazzlingly into the fiery chariots that sacred texts say carried off the prophet; and yes, rooted as well in the impeccably crafted close harmonies and inwardly solid strength of gospel quartets and ensembles like Fisk University's Jubilee Singers and many other exemplars.

So, when you listen to this one you will be immediately surrounded by that amazing and great, gathering could of witnesses. The messages are familiar: Keep your hands on the plow. Surely God is able. There is a balm in Gilead.

Like the famous vocal work by Ralph Vaughan Williams, his Serenade to Music as written for a star-crossed group of well-known British soloists of the era; so this gospel outing brings the small male ensemble Chanticleer to the fore - both as a vocal group and as a fabulous collection of solo voices who are prodigiously gifted vocal stars in their own rights. Capping off Chanticleer as an embarrassment of riches is a guest turn by San Francisco's own Bishop Yvette Flunder. She is the real deal, too, as both an ordained minister whose leadership in black churches has blazed fireworks in celebration of melding religion with social justice, and a Jen-U-Wine good news singer who can preach and pray and moan with the best of them.

Only the superhumanly perfected intonation of their cappella group singing, as well as the superb blend and polish of the Chanticleer dozen, will remind a listener than this group is as famous for its Flemish medieval polyphony or its unerring Purcellian clarity, as any other ensemble of twelve voices now appearing before us.

So, forget all the categories and musicology boxes which would seal off gospel music from pre-Bach cathedral masters of polyphony. With this CD we can just revel in the mysteries of good music, regardless. Yeah, Josquin, I'm talking bout you - Sit down servant, there's plenty good room.

Five stars. Highly recommended.

Crystalline.......2005-04-08

I'm not a huge fan of gospel, because I find it to be led by emotion, and musically undisciplined. Rousing, yes - but a little goes a long, long way. I've also found most gospel recordings to be sonically challenged. Almost as if microphones were incapable of capturing the music with clarity. None of this holds true for "How Sweet the Sound." This is a beautifully recorded cd, and every tune is both musically precise, and emotionally resonant. It is, however, a little hard to listen to in one sitting because of the "sameness" of the arrangements. That's a small quibble - who says any cd has to be experienced all at once - and "There is a Balm in Gilead," alone is worth the price of admission.

Best Chanticleer CD Yet.......2005-02-01

This is the Best Chanticleer CD yet. I have listened to it dozens of times. Money well spent. I have even given copies to several of my friends.

How Angry the Sound?.......2005-01-02

My daughter gave me this CD, because, while I'm not religious, I'm a long time fan of gospel music. The first pass through the record, I found myself wandering off to other tasks. So, the second time I put it on the player I forced myself to sit completely through the record. I'm not familiar with Chanticleer, so I had no idea whey she thought I'd like it, but she's is right more often than not. This would be one of the "not" times.

I guess this as an attempt to make gospel music "hip." With songs like "Jesus Hits Like An Atomic Bomb" and "What You Gon' Do When the World's On Fire?" the lyrics are like walking a American urban street being threatened by strangers. Far from being uplifting, the songs are decidedly unfriendly. The feel of the music reminded more of the howling noises I suffered as a forced member of my parent's Kansas Methodist Church than the sweet, honest sounds of real gospel music. That intangible thing I get from listening to gospel music that is heartfelt and painfully honest, even if deluded, was nowhere to be heard in "How Sweet the Sound." Instead, the music is chant-like, monotonous, and cold.

I would not recommend this record to anyone outside of the Midwest. If you miss the sterile sounds of a Midwestern protestant church in full howl, this might be your cup of weak wine. If gospel music is what you're looking for, look elsewhere.

This CD is the bomb!.......2004-11-28

From "Jesus Hits Like an Atom Bomb" to "Amazing Grace", this CD is packed with glorius gospel spirituals and terrific talent. Highly recommend to music lovers of all faiths!

Great Sampling Collection.......2007-07-29

Over the past thirty years, my father and I have been collecting film music on various formats--vinyl, tape, reel-to-reel, CD, recording it from the movie, even. This collection is a great starter for someone who wants to start owning movie music. Lots of big hitters, including Hermann, Barry, Conti, Mancini, and Goldsmith as well as some contemporary scores that are great, too. This is the type of collection I would make for a friend who asks "what scores should I start with?"

Six Decades of Film Music.......2007-05-13

This is film music for the classical music lover. The City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra presents excellent arrangements of a number of classic film themes (although several pieces of the 56 film classics selected for this 4 CD set are not orchestral arrangements, but rather specialty arrangements). Besides great film composers such as John Williams, Elmer Bernstein, Ennio Morricone, and James Horner, classical composers such as Richard Strauss and Pietro Mascagni make an appearance. On several of the numbers the Crouch End Festival Chorus adds the human voice to the power of the full symphonic orchestra to create true movie magic. If you like the sound of a full symphony orchestra playing some of the most recognized themes ever written, you'll love these CDs.

Excellent collection with fine performances.......2007-03-28

Silva Screen Records, based in England, has been issuing some fine collections of film scores, more in one box than we have the right to expect. This four-CD box contains scores by many of the best writers, including Max Steiner, Bernard Herrmann, Dimitri Tomkin, Kenneth J. Alford (The Bridge on the River Kwai), Elmer Bernstein, Maurice Jarre, Ennio Marricone, John Barry, Nino Rota, John Williams, James Horner, and more. We can all think of additional film scores we wished were included, but then there's no way this collection could be all-inclusive. The City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra, supplemented by Crouch End Festival Chorus on some numbers, does a very competent job...The liner notes give the basic information without any commentary, and as far as I can see, contain only one error. Am I wrong or are tracks 9 and 10 on the fourth CD mislabeled? Track 9, which runs 7:33, seems to have the excitement of "Pirates of the Caribbean" (which I did not see) and track 10, which runs 4:22, the more sedate "The Girl with the Pearl Earring (which I also did not see). Listings seem to have them reversed.

"essential film scores from 1939 to 2004 ~ Incredible Music".......2005-05-16

When I think of the "Golden Age" of Hollywood, many composers come to mind...you gave the usher your ticket in the theater and sat down, knowingly you were going to get your moneys worth...when the curtain opened and you heard those first few notes...you sat back, watched and listened as the film score and orchestra worked their magic...now we have the ultimate from Silva Screen Classics "The Incredible Film Music Box", featuring a four disc set of the essential film scores of the past 60 years...covering several decades from 1939 through and up to the present 2004

There are compilations and then there are "Compilations" beginning with a classic that even the youngsters today recognize "GONE WITH THE WIND" (1939) (Max Steiner), sweeping score that captures the tragic history of the South during the Civil War, one great cue after another, it doesn't get any better than this, nominated by the Academy for Best Original Score...and closing on Disc 4 with "THE INCREDIBLES" (2004) (Michael Giacchino), the big hit in computer animation from Walt Disney & Pixar that once again pit Super-Heroes against the forces of evil...our family of five Supers prove crime doesn't pay, but box-office receipts do...gotta love it!

Silva Screen Classics as usual, has put quality into this 4-CD-Set featuring The City Of Prague Philarmonic Orchestra and the Crouch End Festival Chorus conducted by Kenneth Alwyn, Bill Ashton, Paul Bateman, James Fitzpatrick, Mario Klemens, Derek Wadsworth, and Nic Raine. Recorded in "Dolby Surround" with the new technology of "HDCD", this is a "film-score-buffs" dream, one to treasure now and years to come.

Some selections are missing, but when you think of what Silva has included, it is impossible to please everyone...was happy to see "TOUCH OF EVIL" (1958) from composer Henry Mancini, as I feel this composer deserves all the recognition that has been overlooked recently in the music world...This collection is aimed directly at the "Serious Film Score" music fans and collectors...Silva is as always, perfect in every way...just the way we like 'em!

I'm more of the type that listens to heavy metal or harder rock then Daphne Loves Derby, but every so often i like to calm it down and listen to something mellow, and this is the cd i listen to. It's a great cd and everyone should buy it.

Sit back and relax.......2007-05-07

This band is amazing. They are calm, but at the same time they invoke different emotions. The song "Our Hero Shot" is amazing, especially because they use a marching band, which is very different. And the song "Cue the Sun" is very emotional! The singers voice is calming, but slightly emo at the same time. Very good cd for those who like indie/emo.

Granddaddy of the Hollywood studios, Paramount Pictures is rightfully proud of its century of contributions to both American cinema and the art of film scoring. But the first disc of this 43-track double-CD anthology merely hints at the studio's musical peaks, blithely skipping through its first seven decades in just 17 tracks. Indeed, the package as a whole seems more interested in marketing its post-'70s catalog of hits and blockbusters than it does in paying real homage to history and roots. Even rarities like Double Indemnity and The Lost Weekend are served up via modern budget-line rerecordings, as is Ennio Morricone's epochal Once upon a Time in the West). Contemporary recordings of Aaron Copland's rare score to The Heiress and Franz Waxman's great Sunset Blvd. fare better, but soundtrack fans may miss the originals. The studio's rich pop-crossover successes in the '60s are documented via Breakfast at Tiffany's "Moon River" and excerpts from Romeo and Juliet and Love Story, while successful franchises like Star Trek and Raiders also get their due. Too often the '90s-focused second disc only underscores some uncomfortable trends in contemporary scoring--orchestral nervous tics punctuated by booming crescendos, treacly piano Muzak--and makes one wonder if the music of The Rugrats Movie and Lara Croft: Tomb Raider are really film music milestones. --Jerry McCulley

Great Movies have Great Soundtracks!.......2007-05-10

If you love movies and movie music, you can't go wrong with this two cd Paramount Anniversary set.

Only Disc 1 Is Worth Anything.......2006-07-19

Normally I have a lot to say in my reviews, but not this time. The main problem with this collection is that all the most memorable film scores are just on one disc, with the second used mostly to play out stuff from the last ten years that, really, musically isn't very memorable and only includes three pieces anyone will recognize just because, like the movies they come from, they're based on old TV shows - The Addams Family, Star Trek, and Mission: Impossible.

And that brings up another problem. With all due respect to the late Jerry Goldsmith, who has provided some truly great classic movie scores, was it REALLY necessary to include TWO versions of the SAME Star Trek march in this collection? This seems evocative of the milk-it-for-all-its-worth attitude Paramount has had lately toward its now-tarnished crown-jewel franchise. Where's James Horner's theme music from Star Trek II and III? If they're gonna put Star Trek on here twice, they should have provided a little diversity. It wouldn't have taken much, I'm sure.

I'm sure that Paramount's had other films with far more memorable music (even Harold Faltermeyer's Top Gun Anthem could have helped on Disc 2). This just seems like a lazy attempt at something that really could have been great.

More of a propaganda CD.......2002-10-30

There are some really great songs on this 2 CD set. However, those really great songs seem to be lightly interspersed amongst a large number of forgettable songs whose main purpose seems to be to remind you of those movies you enjoy(ed) so much.

It seems a little odd to me that out of 90 years of film making the most memorable scores have been largely released within the last few years. I was pleased to find themes from the Godfather, Indiana Jones and Witness. I was perplexed with the inclusion of songs from Rugrats, both Mission Impossible movies (one would have been more than enough) and Tomb Raider (memorable???).

This is my own personal bias, but I do prefer movie soundtracks that evoke a feeling of excitement. With this collection I just couldn't get excited. I kept finding myself being let down by songs that didn't in some way complement the preceeding song.

There are certainly some great tracks here, but overall I was disappointed. My advise would be to look elsewhere.

Great selection of Film Hits!.......2002-09-25

This one was a pleasant surprise! I thought- how could any CD that had "Baby Elephant Walk" be all that good? This one is. Lots of great scores- classics and a few hidden treasures. After hearing the beautiful title score for "Children of a Lesser God", I had to buy the entire soundtrack - very soothing. There are a few that may seem too overplayed ("Love Story", "Raiders of the Lost Ark",), but most are a welcome addition to any compilation. Try NOT loving "Building the Barn" from "Witness" or the "Hymn to the Fallen" from "Saving Private Ryan". Hours of great listening.

Older recordings, main themes only.......2002-08-27

This is a great album concept, but I really wish Paramount had re-recorded these scores as they deserve to be heard. The tracks range from 1944 to the present, and the older recordings sound just like the cleaned-up older recordings that they are.

I would also personally have enjoyed more "secondary" music themes (otherwise it becomes like reading book summaries that always only quote the opening paragraph), and I could easily have done without the "pop" tunes (like Baby Elephant Walk and the Rugrats theme). In fact, it would have been very nice to listen to an album comprised of tracks chosen for their strong musical value rather than apparently for their box office and/or hit song popularity. But, to be fair, that may be precisely what draws some people to this CD set.

After years of being one of the foremost singers of light lyrics, Kathleen Battle, searching for challenging new musical expression, tackles the dramatic Mozart repertory. Blessed with one of our generation's prettiest soubrette voices, Battle breezes through the technical challenges of the Countess and Constanze, but sounds like a little girl trying on Mommy's shoes. She lacks the vocal variety and depth to successfully bring these pieces to life. Her renditions of the soubrette repertory, especially "Ruhe sanft," are Mozartfully graceful. In the Magic Flute excerpts she demonstrates that merely singing Mozart's written notes is enough to bring its beauty to life; practically all necessary expression is written into the musical lines. -- Barbara Eisner Bayer

Customer Reviews:

The Best Battle Album........2007-02-10

I have most of Kathleen Battle's albums and must say this is my favorite. Her distinctive voice is crisp and sails effortlessly through the music, James Levine on the piano is fantastic and compliments her as if the two had been made for each other, the repitoire is expertly selected, and the recording is crystal clear. This is Battle in the prime of her career -- this is one of those albums you will find yourself coming back to.

Ah, Kathleen!.......2006-03-04

I have been looking to reacquire this album for forever!! It's great, and I love Kathleen's voice here.

I have to say, though, that the Amazon.com editorial review must have been written for another album, for neither 'Ruhe Sanft' nor anything from 'Die Zauberflote' is on this disc.

=^_^=

The greatest of recital albums, part 2.......2005-09-04

It's hard to simply repeat what someone else has written, but before I noticed the review above, I was going to say that this is the greatest vocal recital I've ever heard. It's a pleausre to be the second to voice that opinion.

Why is the editorial review about Mozart? Amazon nods.

The Magnificent Kathleen Battle Has Done It Again!!.......2002-03-04

Go Kathleen! I often dream of what music will sound like behind the Pearly Gates of Heaven-my dreams are no more, I have found what I've been searching for. Just push play and then be prepared for your body and soul to leave this earth behind. Believe me new and established fans-she IS that good.

From the first to the last track "La Battle" captivates and stuns her audience into a cult-like stupor. Indulge in Purcell's "Music for a While". After listening to a 30 second clip, I knew I needed this CD. She slowly and sensually lulls you with her perfected pronunciation. Her performance is like rich imported chocolate melting in your mouth. On Mendelssohn's "Neue Liebe" "La Battle" does an about face and speeds things up a bit. This tounge-twisting, finger-snapping performance is outstanding. Only a great opera Diva can handle such difficult piece of work, but as well all know, Kathleen never disappoints!

Kathleen masters Mozart's " Ridente la calma, Das Veilchen and Un moto di gioia". She paints such wonders with her voice that Monet must be rolling around in his grave. ;)
The 4 Spiritual at the end deserves only the utmost Praise. "Honor, Honor, His Name So Sweet, and Witness and He's Got the Whole World in His Hand". Check out her fantastically flawless super-HIGH notes! These songs are reason enough to get this CD.

I will forever be a Battle fan because of this recital. Thank you for making the Opera world a better place. We LOVE you Kathleen!

The greatest of recital albums!.......2002-01-16

Kathleen Battle In Concert has been a part of my classical listening experience for many, many years, and many, many repeated playings. Every time I play it, I feel real joy at hearing Kathleen Battle in the opening bars of Purcell's "Come All Ye Songsters."

Miss Battle brings a high level of musicality, an impeccable use of phrasing and some truly beatiful high notes to a wonderful mix of lighter art/love songs, and more serious, but very joyous gospel classics, as in her rendition of "He's Got the Whole World In His Hands."

hidden treasure.......2007-07-24

The Feelies don't hit an inauthentic note. The musicality of this album is incredible and original. Lots of people speak of the straight-forward or simple nature of the music on this album, but I think, in its nuances, the music is more complicated then it might seem on a first listening. The guitar riffs are soulful and unique, the music filled with restrained, forward leaning energy. What might be best about this album -- and I haven't heard this mentioned a lot -- are the lyrics. Despite coming-of-age during the birth of glib irony, the Feelies have written songs that are achingly positive, souful, hopeful, and sincere in the best sense of the word. These songs stretch for -- and find -- a kind of earth-bound redemption. You'll feel better after listening to this one.This album is one for the ages, and deserves much greater notiriety.

Great Album; Great Group.......2005-03-31

This was the first album by the long-defunct, long-out-of-print Feelies I ever heard, and at first I didn't see what all the fuss was about. Quite frankly there isn't really anything "amazing" about this album. Unlike other influential indie groups like My Bloody Valentine or Galaxie 500 - who drenched themselves in the glory of the Velvet Underground, invoked swooning, hungry guitar leads/solos and created something fresh-sounding as a result - the Feelies seem content to play fairly straight-on indie rock, with little pretension or poetry. One wouldn't think this to be much of a strength, but the band manages to create solid rhythms and riffs, with compelling guitar noodling over the top. In a word, the Feelies are irresistable. If college rock was your bag in the 80s and early 90s, check out one of the progenitors of the genre.

Warm Summer Nights, Cold Beers and Good Friends.......2003-05-23

That is what The Feelies mean to me. Their music is straight forward, uncomplicated and yet completely enjoyable given its simple construct. I have seen The Feelies live and partied with them afterwards at a freind's house. They are as unpretentious in person as their music. They write songs and perform them from their soul and I am constantly amazed they never achieved greater acclaim.

Buy this CD and I guarantee you will go back to the record store looking for their earlier releases. The Feelies are one of those bands who will make you think to yourself "why haven't I heard of these guys before?". A treasure and a pleasure you will not be disappointed.

One of my favorite all-time albums.......2001-07-20

I love the Feelies. Four albums (and an EP and some singles) just don't seem like enough. This was their last album (as far as I know) and it contains the same simply produced magic as their earlier efforts, but this time with a little harder edge. This is cool garage music for smart people. Found throughout Time For A Witness are simple yet wonderful guitar-based rythms with haunting, whining, wonderful leads, over smooth drums, percussion and bass that is always, for me, with every single listen, achingly emotional. Glen Mercer's vocals are reminiscent of early Lou Reed -- even in the lyrics, a lot of things are 'alright' -- but that's not to say that the Feelies are K-Mart Velvets; this band has its own unique quirkiness. Here is rock and roll at its deceptively simple best. I love this album. I love this band.

Thank you thank you thank you to the people who named the Sam Cooke song Wonderful World on their reviews, I've been trying to find that song FOREVER and couldn't figure out who sang it! I hope that helps other people too!

"Witness".......2003-08-17

I've watched this movie a dozen times and never, never do I lose my love for the movie. It's an endearing, but riveting, classic I've come to include in "My Top Ten Favorites". It never ceases to satisfy me, story, music, scenery, actors, all. If you haven't watched this in a while, pull it out of your stock and enjoy! You will not be disappointed.

Lyrics to Sam Cooke.......2003-05-23

Sam Cooke
Wonderful world

Don't know much about history
Don't know much biology
Don't know much about a science book
Don't know much about the French I took
But I do that I love you
And I know thatif you love me too
What a wonderful world this would be

Don't know much about geography
Don't know much trigonomitry
Don't know much about algebra
Don't know what a slide rule is for

But I do know one and one is two
And if this one could be with you
What a wonderful world this would be

Now I don't claim, to be an A-student
But I'm trying to be
For maybe by being an A-student, baby
I could win your love for me
