Of course it's good it's old school metal from SLAYER!.......2007-05-19

The title of the reveiw says it all. This is Slayer's 5th album (only one more album left until nu metalville). It's a totally awesome album and imo it's the best out of Slayer's entire discography, only one bad song off of it. Sure Reign In Blood is the 2nd most popular metal album ever made (1st being Master Of Puppets) but imo this album beats Reign In Blood. South Of Heaven is a metal masterpiece. It's much slower than anything Slayer's ever done yet the way the guitars sound like are completely unique, old school sounding, amazing, and great! The drummer comes off as really awesome also. I really can't say much about the album except it's great and I definitly recommend it!

Favorites: Silent Scream(favorite and my favorite thrash metal song), Live Undead, Ghosts Of War, and Spill The Blood.

Least Favorites: Dissident Aggressor, Read Between The Lies, Cleanse The Soul. All of the songs are good in fact the only real bad song off the album is Dissident Aggressor. The rest fail to disapoint (including Cleanse The Soul and Read Between The Lies)!!!

Slayer slows but.......2007-04-15

Slayer is the greatest metal band in history, and this cd just proves they can do something different. The songs are a bit slowed down but still are brutal. Silent Scream has probably the best scream Tom has ever done, and Mandatory Suicide is one of my faviorte Slayer songs of all time. A must have for metal fans.

slayer rocks!.......2007-03-08

i heard bad things about this album. i have to disagree its great.

for my husband.......2007-03-08

I purchased this album for my husband. He is a big fan of this album. He has listened to this so many times since I got it for him. It was a Valentine gift and he thinks it is the best one made from this band.

2nd to only Reign In Blood.......2007-02-26

In My opinion, Slayer's first five albums are all easily 5 star thrash metal classics that should without a doubt be in every metalheads catalog. There is somthing about this album that just really drew me in. One thing was definitely the darker, haunting tones they went for on the album. It is definitely slower than Slayer's previous albums, but it has a darker, more unique style to it. The guitars really seem heavier than ever on this album, almost like sludge/doom metal still with all the thrash elements, including insane double bass drumming as always from Mr. Lombardo. Tom Araya's voice is much clearer on "South" and he doesn't sing nearly as fast like on previous efforts when it is sometimes incredibly hard to make out what he is saying. He definitely adds more melody and structure to his voice. Also, there is not quite as much talk about demons, satan, and violence. Of course, there is still quite a bit of it. Come on, this is Slayer we're talkin' about here. You have to expect some of that. Slayer's songs are still pretty short. The title track being the longest and clocking in at just under 5 minutes.

My personal favorites on here are of course the classics- South Of Heaven, Mandatory Suicide, and also Spill The Blood and Behind The Crooked Cross. Spill The Blood was really something new for Slayer. It has a haunting/dark acoustic intro. which I absolutely love. It is extremely unique, especially for Slayer. Araya started writing the majority of the lyrics also for this album, and as always axe slingers, Kerry King and Jeff Hanneman wrote the musical parts. No mediocre tracks appear on here, but if I had to choose I would say the Judas Priest cover song, Dissident Aggressor and Cleanse The Soul would be my least favorites. The whole album flows very smoothly together. Every song has it's place and no songs are out of place on here. Everthing goes together just right.

So if you'd like to hear Slayer with a bit darker, sludgier tone to it, pick up South Of Heaven. This would be the 2nd to last album with their incredible/classic lineup until Dave Lombardo would leave and be replaced with the exceptional Paul Bostaph. If you don't have a Slayer album or haven't heard much of them, I reccomend this, Reign In Blood, or Seasons In The Abyss.

South African choral music is renowned for passionate singing and soul-stirring harmonies. The Soweto Gospel Choir is made up of top talent from throughout that hard-scrabble yet celebrated Township. All sixteen tracks were seemingly recorded studio-live with no overdubbing or after-the-fact prettying-up. Paradise Road is led by a powerful pair of female voices who sing in English about walking hand-in-hand toward a place where there will be no more pain. It is almost unbearably poignant. A ceremonial yet ecstatic version of "Amazing Grace" renews the power and grandeur of a seriously hackneyed hymn. The selections are either sung a cappella or accompanied by a guitar-led mbaqanga combo, plus drums, hand-clapping, stamping, exhortations, whistling ,and high-pitched ululations. There is even a taste of sacred R&B and hip-hop! The lord being praised here is obviously a robust but loving realist; the voices are redolent of humanity in all its fragile, undying splendor. --Christina Roden

Album Description

Soweto Gospel Choir's Shanachie debut, Voices From Heaven, is a stunning recording that delivers the full range of the choir's talent. The sheer aural beauty of the voices, both in powerful solo segments and lush choral harmonies, makes a memorable impact. But there also is an unquantifiable quotient of spirit—the heartfelt, sincere joyousness that cannot be taught or simulated—that infuses the Choir's performances. It is this quality that enables them to make even very familiar material such as "Amazing Grace" or Jimmy Cliff's "Many Rivers To Cross" sound fresh. The Choir moves easily from the traditional a capella Mbube, popularized internationally by Ladysmith Black Mambazo to straightforward church hymns to rollicking "township jive"-inflected numbers with band backing. The most universal, direct and powerful instrument is the human voice and on Voices From Heaven Soweto Gospel Choir revels in this "first instrument" as the essence of human musical expression.

Wonderful, memorable singing........2007-07-06

This album really displays the energy and distinction of this group. Great singing, great arrangements, hugely energetic and dynamic. Highly recommended for anyone with an eclectic taste in music.

Nice and relaxing.......2007-03-13

I found that this CD was very, very enjoyable to listen to, the music when in English was accessible, when it was not, just purely relaxing and in no short order, helped me feel the spirit. There are no chants and songs with lyrics that are repeated over and over and over again here. Just simple music that would serve to uplift the mind and the spirit.

A display of God's gifts.......2007-02-12

I not only bought the CD i was blessed to watch them live on their current tour of the United States. When the concert was over it was obvious that everyone wanted more and i could hear a little voice behind me saying "encore". What a refreshing sound from such a small group and they sing with such passion and joy! I recommend this album to everyone who wants to hear real voices sing. An amazing display of God's gift to man.

SOUTH AFRICAN HARMONY AT ITS FINEST.......2006-11-03

Purchased Voices From Heaven,after seeing a live
performance of "Blessed." While the audio only album
cannot fully describe the songs on this album,the way
a live video can,it was still very enjoyabloe.The harmony
was at times "soul wrenching." The presentation,
captivating!

My favorite songs were: "Ahuna Ya Twanag Le Jesu" (Nobody
Like Jesus,)The classic South African Lullabye "Thula Baba"
and the Johnny Clegg standard "My African Dream." This was
an outstanding performance.I wish I had seen it live.

Tribal, Caribbean, old-school gospel, and much in between.......2006-03-23

High quality and excitement throughout. Most are easy to recognize as gospel music, even when the specific form is unfamiliar. Songs vary in approach and language. Some are distinctly tribal in origin; others sound Caribbean, some are clearly American, old-school soul in origin. And much in between. But they tend to certain attributes. The core of each song is a steady, communal, simple chant. Songs feel like they are blocked out, and the chorus works through each song in blocks. Some have complex harmonies or even layers of separate parts of the chorus. Others seek the sacred in simplicity. One or two solo voices sing above the chorus in a much more individual, excited, complex, fervent spirit. Solos are mainly female; a few male voices. Individual leads effectively voice their wild devotion over the rock-solid steadiness of the community. Drums typically appear, usually in sparse, syncopated role, and always supporting the voices. Simple but stinging electric guitar accompanies a few pieces. Stand-outs: tr 3-Thina Simnqobile (Close, steady communal chant. Deep female voice above. Quick, light, syncopated drums. Precise clapping in complex rhythms. Ululating.) [56:33]

Two tracks I really like.......2007-07-21

The Mission Impossible theme is performed well.
The Fireball theme is actually much improved on this version. I prefer the orchestra and the vocals over the original.

Quantity Over Quality.......2007-01-15

As a musician myself, I know too well that one of the most important ingredients in ANY performance (live or recorded) is passion. The recordings here generally lack the same passion and sheer drama of the originals. Much of the instrumentation has been reduced to a cheezy, thin, plastic synthesized replica. The performances are simply a watered-down lackluster version of the classic originals. If it were not for the sheer volume of tracks compiled here, I would have rated the comp only "one star".

Mediocre.......2006-05-17

The sound quality for this collection isn't much better than the samples offered by Amazon.

One Hundred Greatest TV Themes.......2005-08-06

I have watched almost all the shows that are on these 4 cd's. Many were made before I started watching TV. Most I've seen once or twice before.

Definitely not as good as the originals. You'll probably notice the slight differences since it's stuff you saw and listened to every week or everyday in reruns growing up, but it's still an amazing collection.

How can you call these "Hymns".......2006-08-05

Not to harp on anyone here, but it's obvious that none of you grew up in a church or environment that had a good choir. I know, a Hymn is a genre of music, but a recording of a hymn isn't one if it doesn't contain HARMONY. If they're a "choir," then why don't the tenors sing a different note than the sopranos, altos, and basses? The organist is quite good, I'll admit, but you're wasting your time if you're looking for a good recording of these beautiful songs that were COMPOSED with harmony, not unison. If they want to sing in unison like this, they need to be stripped of their "choir" status and simply be called a "group."

wonderful collection of magnificent music.......2006-01-18

Most everything on this CD is very well done. The recording environment might have been less than perfect, but that shouldn't dimish one's enjoyment very much. Most of the arrangements are very traditional, with the notable exception of Amazing Grace, which though it isn't terrible, it isn't very good either. Some songs had verses removed, which is understandable, though it was poorly done in Eternal Father, Strong to Save -- they did verse 1 ("Eternal Father"), then they skipped(!!!) verse 2 ("O Christ, the Lord") and went on to the final verses ("Holy Spirit" and "O Trinity") -- which is skipping Someone important! However, outside of that, it was excellent.

If you like sacred music, or hymns, then you'll thoroughly enjoy this CD. If you're a Christian, you should enjoy this as well, no matter your taste in music (and you might just learn to like hymns as well!). It is a well-chosen set of some of the most magnificent, God-honoring music of all time, done is a mostly very traditional manner, and it was done well.

Flawed but enjoyable.......2005-04-15

The huge size and reverberating acoustics of Washington National Cathedral make it difficult to hear any kind of live choral performance clearly, even if you're sitting in the front rows in the nave. The Cathedral Choral Society is handicapped by having to record in this acoustically mushy space, and it shows in this CD, often creating an uneven balance between the organ and the chorus as noted by other reviewers. The repertoire is well-chosen, but the quality of the arrangements is uneven. Too often, the chorus seems to be singing in unison right out of the Hymnal, like any parish church choir at an ordinary Sunday service. Certain pieces do suggest the heights which the Society is capable of attaining. But the group never achieves the splendor that the Cathedral Choir of Men and Boys displays every Sunday morning. Just when the Society seems to be getting there, the conductor pulls them back. And the shrill folk arrangement of "Amazing Grace" will have you covering your ears as the sopranos shriek clumsily, confusing volume with fervor.

Hymns through the Centuries.......2002-03-18

This is not a review. I just have a question. Does "Hymns through the Centuries" contain the hymn "It is Well with my Soul?" Thanks.

A must own for classic church music lovers.......2002-02-16

I purchased this CD just based on the titles and am very glad I did. There are only two downsides to the album. First is the fact that there isn't a companion CD with 26 more hymns! Second is picky, but I do agree with another rater that the organ could have been a little louder related to the singing. Hope you enjoy listening!

Though Dwight Yoakam's debut as a Western film director won't threaten John Ford's legacy, the soundtrack provides a liberating opportunity. Freed from commercial expectation, he lets his creative impulses roam freely beyond the corral of country classicism, from the tone-poem sophistication of "Words" to the spiritual traditionalism of "The Last Surrender," from the Springsteenesque balladry of "Somewhere" to the extended Allmanesque fade of "No Future in Sight." Songwriting collaborators include ZZ Top's Billy Gibbons on the Texas twang of "The First Thing Smokin'" and Mick Jagger on the barroom weeper "What's Left of Me." Bekka Bramlett contributes vocal support, including an over-the-top duet on the rocked-out gospel of "Who at the Door Is Standing," while the between-song movie dialogue seems to provide more padding than atmosphere. --Don McLeese

I bought this album looking for something new/different/and off the wall to play on my radio show, and it has it. It's kinda fun to listen to and the songs are good. For the money it's worth adding to your Dwight Yoakum music library, and will give you 9 Dwight songs that to my knowledge aren't on anything else.

Dwight's Bad Days.......2006-02-24

After suffering through the"most painful experience" of his life in completing this film, Dwight Yoakam also suffered horrible reviews for it. Maybe he tried to accomplish too much for his first directorial outing, in that he also wrote, scored, and starred in it, but really, it isn't that bad. I'm not a movie critic, I only know that this movie's story line and execution entertain me.(Other than the late Michael Jeter, who was a memorable actor, but at a certain decibel level, his voice makes me want to bite someone). Being a HUGE Dwight fan, I may be biased,but I think this movie's worth a look.

Awesome!.......2002-07-19

My husband and I think this is one of Dwight's best! Although we like everything he does, some songs are better than others. Shows another aspect of Dwight's talents; love the movie clips in between songs!

Not really a soundtrack, but...........2002-07-07

fine music.

First let me say that 'Words', selections which begin and end this CD, the end being a sort of jazzy rendention are the two best tracks on the CD. As I said in my review of the film, in addition to this 'companion' soundtrack, I would have loved to additionally own the 'actual' soundtrack. Some may have found it monotonous, while I myself found it mesmerizing. That soundtrack can be isolated on the DVD and one could record it on tape for their own listening pleasure, but I digress....

This companion soundtrack contains a variety of musical genres. I particularly enjoyed 'Who At The Door Is Standing' and 'What's Left Of Me' and you can't get any more diverse than that.

The between-track dialogue is enjoyment to me. Perhaps because it reminds me of the film, which is one of my favorites.

Anyone who loves Dwight Yoakam, his music, and his band will love the divergence and quality of this CD and will want to have it in their collection.

If you love Yoakam music...you're gonna LOVE this...........2002-06-15

.....but, you might want to skip the movie; it's a "yawner". {Although, Mr. Yoakam "Do look MIGHTY FINE" in all that western wear!:>}

The CD has a western flavor. A refreshing change from the usual Yoakam {not that we don't love that too!} The first cut, "Words" is quiet, reflective....and says alot with a few words, really. "Who At My Door Is Standing", "The Darkest Hour" and "It Is Well With MY Soul, are old gospel favorites done with heart and I enjoyed hearing them by Yoakam. "Somewhere" is my favorite on the CD because it's so western-melancholy-sweet. I relate to his "What's Left Of Me"..I enjoyed the tongue-in-cheek lyrics...{I really can't stand Jagger...so we'll give Dwight most of the credit for this one}. "Tears For Two" and "No Future In Sight" are the same "down-on-your-luck-but-with-a-sense-of-dry-humor" stuff we are used to from him....but with the same western flavor as the rest of the CD. As you can see, I'm not much of an expert when it comes to reviews....but if you enjoy Yoakam music....you REALLY need to add this one to your collection.

You'll be disappointed.......2006-09-02

Not the original artists. Very weak versions of beloved songs by marginal to downright bad vocalists.

Pretty good musical mix.......2006-03-10

Lots of great and clear vocals. I was looking for a musical mix and this has a nice sampling of many major songs but also some more recent stuff. I haven't purchased an import before but I would do it again if the opportunity presented itself. It is somewhat annoying to have three cds when I think it could have fit onto two. Still, more than I have complaints, I have compliments about it.

Not the best........2005-03-02

I bought this CD with high hopes. I absolutely loved the first one, the one recorded live. This one was a disappointment though. The guys songs are good and their voices are in good form but it was missing something...feeling, I guess. The live concert version can make me cry and laugh it's so sung with feeling, but this is just singing. I just felt it lacked feeling. I guess that's why I was disappointed with it.

What a magnificent Heritage.......2005-01-22

I highly recommend this album to all fans of Irish music. This is the last album with Ronan as a memember and it is one of their best. Ronan's "I'll Take You Home Again Kathleen" is wonderful, so too is Finbarr's "South of the Border". The theme from the Titanic "My Heart Will Go On" is the best version since Celine Dione's. My favorite track is Anthony's "The West's Awake" . One point to note is that this group is one of the few out there who can perform live with an equally good recorded sound. Having listened to them at Meadowbrook NH the night of Ronan's farewell I can assure you that live or recorded they have a fantastic sound. I highly recommend this CD to all fans of Irish music.

A Review .......2004-10-30

I have never really been a fan of Traditional Irish Music and had never even HEARD of the Irish Tenors....That is until a friend of mine introduced me to the recording of "Live In Belfast" Instantly, I was hooked. I have become addicted to a lot of these songs. Especially the goofier ones they sing. like "Phil the Fluther" and "Courtin in the Kitchen" When Heritage was released I was estatic....As I had loved all the songs they had released before. Even though they recycled some of their songs. I loved the way they re recorded "Red Is The Rose" with Finbar in place of John and also "Fields Of Athenry" I Found this version to be better than the other one. I found it really bizare that they would sing "My Heart Will Go On" as that is not an Irish Song...Ireland was where the Titanic sank. but still. I really enjoyed listening to it. "South of the Boarder" and "Golden Jubilee" along with "Little Brigid Flynn" were quite entertainingly cute. I really enjoyed Anthony's "The West's Awake" and "The Parting Glass" and "The Harp That Once Through Tara's Halls" I would, too also love to see Anthony put out a solo album.

Heritage, The Irish Tenors.......2004-09-30

This is another delightful effort by Anthony, Finbar and Ronan.
My favorite songs were "Off to Philadephia" (Anthony) and "My Heart Will Go On" (Finbar). I didn't even mind the repetition of some songs heard on past CDs - but wondered about it, until I learned of the departure of Ronan Tynan. I am curious to see the kind of arrangements they have included on their new CD, due to come out later this year, which they made upon the return of John McDermott. John is a Canadian of Celtic descent, whose voice, though pleasant in a folksy way, does not seem to blend as well with Anthony and Finbar as did Ronan's trained vocals. I would be very pleased to see Anthony make a solo CD, including such ballads as (my all-time favorite) Bantry Bay and some of the wonderfully playful Irish ditties he sometimes performs at his solo concerts.

Tattered Tenors.......2004-08-20

When the Irish Tenors burst upon the public scene not too many years ago, they were heralded as a refreshing change in the sea of musical mediocrity. The original trio of McDermott, Kearns and Tynan thrilled us with their exuberance and vocal virtuosity and frankly, I miss that. (Please note: since I originally wrote this review the threesome has changed to McDermott, Kearns and Wright with Tynan having left the group).

As one of their latest efforts, "Heritage" is an "okay" album, but it certainly lacks the freshness and fun of the Irish Tenors' earlier efforts. Of course, there are notable exceptions such as Kearns' roguish "Off to Philadelphia", the sprightly "Golden Jubilee" and the beautiful "The West's Awake" solo by Kearns. Wright's "Little Brigid Flynn" is downright fun but his "South of the Border" is oddly out of place. With too many recycled songs and a little too little Anthony Kearns, I personally found "Heritage" to be the weakest effort in the generally stellar Irish Tenors' discography.

South Of Heaven Rocks.......2004-03-13

I am impressed. After purchasing Reign In Blood a few weeks earlier, I decided to purchase this after hearing from my friends that this album rocks more than Show No Mercy or Reign In Blood. WOW!!! I am impressed. Songs like Behind the Crooked Cross and South of Heaven are great and probably the best songs out of all other Slayer songs. Kerry King and Jeff Hanneman are great guitarists and bass/vocalist Tom Araya sound great. If you are a Slayer fan and you haven't purchased this album, then you are not a true Slayer fan!!!

The second movement of the most perfect metal triptic........1998-05-08

Recently i've taken to listening to South of Heaven as the second movement in a three part symphony with Reign in Blood and Seasons in the Abyss as the first and last. Taken this way the full force and breadth of Slayer's art can be fealt. For me, these records touch the very depths of my experience. They speak to me in an intimate and peaceful way - they calm me.

South of Heaven is the perfect contretemps, the slight comedown from the furious heights of Reign in Blood. The sustain of the Marshall's is longer, the tempo is slower. It is the perfect interlude from the primal passion of Reign to the intelligence and precision of Seasons in the Abyss.
