5 out of 5 stars It's hard to put into words........2007-07-16

To describe this album in a few short words is impossible. Roy Orbison is one of the greatest of all times. NO one (in my humble opinion) will ever have a bigger impact on music in my lifetime. This album shows just how a live album should be. Unforgettable

5 out of 5 stars Pretty Women.......2007-07-16

Roy Orbison, Bruce Springteen, Elvis Costello and more. What's not to like. Golden Oldie for everybody out there who loves Rock and Roll. Doen't hurt that Amazon shipped it to me in 4 days.

4 out of 5 stars Best of Roy live, 20 years ago via television..........2007-07-05

I've always been a casual Orbison fan---while enjoying his radio hits, I never felt drawn to buying a whole LP. Finally, I invested in this disc, from a kind of a comeback concert televised in 1987. On it, Roy gets subtle help from a bunch of good guest artists, but the main attraction, as always, is his distinctive voice, songwriting skills, and arranging artistry. He was in good vocal shape on this occasion, and his big hits do not sound much different than the original 45-rpm singles did which began coming out more than 20 years earlier. In fact, the best performances captured here are those big hits: "Only the Lonely" and "Blue Bayou" and "Running Scared" and "Oh, Pretty Woman." The tunes I was less familiar with, "Leah" and "The Comedians" for instance, I found much less interesting. If you, like me, know that Roy had come a long way from Wink, Texas through Clovis, NM and Memphis, TN to superstardom, and you wanted him represented in the music that reflects your younger days, this is as good a choice as any. (Although I was a kid in Jersey when Roy had his first hit single, I now live halfway between his boyhood home in Wink and the site of his first recordings (not hits) at Norman Petty's studio in Clovis. Roy's initial success came from his association at Sun Records in Memphis, however, which must have seemed like a grand metropolis to the geeky looking kid from Wink.)

5 out of 5 stars THE ESSENTIAL ROY ORBISON.......2007-05-12

THERE IS NO ONE GREATER THAN ROY ORBISON AND THIS IS ONE OF HIS BEST CD'S. IT IS PRICED REASONABLY AND THE SHIPPING IS FAST AND REASONABLE.

5 out of 5 stars LOVE ROY ORBISON.......2007-05-09

AS A TEENAGER I GREW UP LISTENING TO ROY ORBISON. HE'S THE BEST. I LOVE HIS BLACK AND WHITE CD...IT HAS ALL HIS GREATEST HITS. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS CD FOR ALL THE KIDS GROWING UP IN THE 1960'S.

Though the lightning crackling across the CD cover suggests a heavy-metal band (or perhaps a cross between the Addams Family and a Black Oak Arkansas reunion), the second release by Cherryholmes on Ricky Skaggs's label establishes the family band as one of the most promising acts in contemporary bluegrass. The star here is Cia Cherryholmes, the banjo-playing daughter who composes most of the album's original material and ranks with Alison Krauss as a vocalist on highlights such as the opening "You Don't Know What Love Is" and the prison-ballad title track. Yet the instrumental interplay and harmonies reflect the sextet's blood ties, while the range of material bridges the traditional and progressive (it's hard to hear Cia's "Don't Give Your Heart to a Knoxville Girl," sung by brother B.J., without thinking of the Louvin Brothers' classic "Knoxville Girl"). --Don McLeese

Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars Bluegrass music.......2007-07-13

If your looking for a good example of Bluegrass music, this is the CD for you...I have seen Cherryholmes perform and their singing,playing and clogging is perfection...This CD can take you from mellow to foot stomping...I absolutely advise anyone to purchase this CD...You won't be disappointed...

5 out of 5 stars Another Home Run!.......2007-06-15

Cherryholmes first Skaggs Family cd was excellent and it appears the family is starting a tradition. This cd is solid country and bluegrass. The instruments are played with technical skill , feeling, and the arrangements are perfect for each song. The singing is top notch and I much prefer Cia Cherryholmes voice in clarity and range. It is good to hear the boys sing more, and Sandy as well! Highly recommended.

Album Description

Comedian Lewis Black, best known for his caustic yet hilarious social commentary as a commentator on Comedy Central's Daily Show, unleashes nearly an hour of his insightful material on this CD. Recorded just shortly before Thanksgiving 1999, we catch Lewis on one of his incredible tirades against all things inane and moronic, be it the weather person, or Bill Clinton's definition of "is."

Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars AWSOME....LEWIS BLACK DOES IT AGAIN.......2007-05-07

What is there to say about the greatest comic out there today. This is very funny and very worth the price. I have every one of his albums and video's and they are all worth it.

5 out of 5 stars one of todays greatest comedians.......2007-01-29

All of Lewis Black's material is hilarious but this is his best cd. You will laugh during the entire cd.

5 out of 5 stars Lewis Black is a very funny man.......2007-01-19

His topical ranting style is hillarious and intellegent. I think I have listened to this album at least 20 times and am not tired of it.

5 out of 5 stars Best of Lewis Black.......2005-12-30

I've heard a lot of Lewis Black and I feel this is probably his best.

4 out of 5 stars Lewis Black's best CD.......2005-11-01

I think this is Lewis Black's best... it has some of the funniest stuff I've heard from him.. I really recommend you buy this album!

5 out of 5 stars The greatest songs ever?.......2007-07-26

I heard 'clear or cloudy', from this recording, on the radio recently and had to purchase it. It is strange but it is the sort of song that makes life prior to listening to it different from life after. I find it sad that so many people haven't heard it. There are also many other wonderful works in this collection. Given you get twelve well recorded CDs with top quality performances, this has to be one of the bargains of the age.

Please buy it.

5 out of 5 stars A musical treasure-box.......2006-09-10

Both the music and this actual product are masterpieces. John Dowland's collected works here - covering 12 compact discs - exhibit the depth and power of this composer, a composer who many now regard as suffering from clinical depression. I doubt that the issue of the diagnosis of Dowland's depression can ever be settled, however, it is certainly obvious from his music, so completely on display here, that he was a man with very dark depths and corners in his mind. Dowland's various manifestations and "takes" on his own tune, "Flow my tears"/"Lachrimae" are here. This tune has haunted me ever since I first heard it when I was a child. It seems to sum up Dowland's feelings - at least Dowland seems to have thought so.

The First, Second, Third and Fourth Bookes of Songes, A Musicall Banquet, the keyboard transcriptions, all the lute music, consort music are here and virtually everything else written or supposedly written by John Dowland. Anthony Rooley and The Consort of Musicke perform this music with style and feeling throughout. This 12 CD set is something of a monument to the ensemble - I only wish they'd finished their collection of Monteverdi madrigals, which was equally good (La Venexiana are currently doing a magnificent job of recording all Monteverdi's books of madrigals for the GLOSSA label).

This is an expensive set, however, you will probably never need to buy another John Dowland CD again after buying and listening to this collection.

I bought this CD set on a mild Summer evening of 1998 and listened to it while sitting in my sun room - which a glorious orange sunset in progress, and a glass of wine. It brought back so many memories.

5 out of 5 stars a beautiful journey into melancholy.......2001-06-15

I'm amazed at how many people tend to associate John Dowland's music with a tragic sense of drama. While no doubt this is art highly based on sadness, the "tragic" sense of it is more a legacy from the Romantic period. During the Renaissance, however, sadness was undestood as a very aesthetic way of approaching life. That is also the reason why Shakespeare's tragedies appear more sophisticated than his comedies.

Dowland, a contemporary of Shakespeare, discovered that meditating on a sad theme is, at the same time, a way of discovering a special beauty that we tend to avoid (maybe because of the "tragic" heritage of the Romantics). So, in the end, meditating on sadness is an uplifting experience! This box set is a journey into melancholy that includes songs, chamber music, pieces for lute, some rare sacred music and -as a highlight- Dowland's beautiful collection of seven pieces for viola which he called "Lachrimae" (Tears).

2 out of 5 stars Silence would be preferred..........2007-03-22

I'm only giving it two stars because one of the songs is actually not too bad "Ohio is For Lovers", other than that, do as I did and don't waste your money on this album. It's very dissapointing and unpleasant to the ears, and I usually enjoy some screamo.

1 out of 5 stars Wow...what could I say that hasn't been said?.......2007-03-14

I know.

GET THE HELL AWAY FROM MY WINDOW WITH YOUR RADIO!

Thats some scary stuff. I really hate this music. Almost as much as top 40 pop and rap, and I pity people who like any of that stuff. For a more detailed review on music today please visit my 1 star review for that new Fergie cd (the explicit lyrics one). You will most likely be pleased. Also, I can't stand those "emo" kids. Ok, for those of you who are listeing, you have nothing to be depressed about. The average "emo" kid is an upper middle class kid with everything going for him/her who wants to "stand out" from the crowd and look like a complete fag in some girl pants. Grow up.

Sincerely,
Jake

3 out of 5 stars Okay music, horrible unoriginal lyrics.......2007-01-26

I would say that this album is okay. Their music is very catching, but their lyrics seem just like random lines thrown in to aid their music in trying to sound depressing.

Sure, their music can evoke the sad, melancholy feeling that they are aiming for, but I feel that they can be more creative with their lyrics. I mean, the chorus of their best known song in this album, Ohio is for lovers, has the most unoriginal lyrics. "Because you kill me.
You know you do, you kill me well."

I would say that overall, this is a good album, and they can execute music/melody/rhythm well, but if you're looking for depth in any of their songs, you're looking in the wrong place.

5 out of 5 stars Please.......2006-09-18

Now come on I listen to this and i'm in no way emo i just like the harder music i think these guys are a great band and don't get enough credit.

before you go off on a tear on how much this band sucks and start saying that all fans who listen to them are "emo" stop and think boy i sound a little hypocritical that's like me saying everyone who listens to classic rock smokes pot.

anyway i like this band my fav songs on the cd are life on standby,niki FM, And ohio is for lovers.

1 out of 5 stars Haha!! Set Abominae is spot on 100%!!.......2006-09-05

I'd write a review but Set Abominae wrote his so well, I'd just be regurgitating his words.

Hawthorne Heights is no different from the rest of the emo crowd (they all suck), don't waste your time with this s*** and go for quality bands like Dream Theater, Opeth, Arch Enemy, Iced Earth, Nevermore, and Symphony X.

Once you free yourself from emo, you'll thank me for recommending greater bands.

This is a great BoDeans album. "Good Things" is on here. But don't just listen to this song, listen to the others as well. It's a great album, but I of course enjoy all BoDeans music.

4 out of 5 stars Buena Continuacion.......2005-10-29

Diría yo que este trabajo musical es en cierta forma la continuación de "Outside Looking in": mantiene la línea, el sonido de las guitarras queda casi intacto, el arreglo vocal es similar, sin llegar a que suene "plana" y/o monótona. Así que también este album lo considero bastante bueno y además ratifíca la calidad musical de los BoDeans. Bien x eso ¡¡

4 out of 5 stars Infectious American Rock.......2001-12-06

"Black and White" is a great collection of straight-ahead pop-rock songs, nearly all of them ridiculously catchy and infectious. Like the BoDeans' later effort,"Go Slow Down," this CD is all guitar rock -- if there are synths/keyboards, they are quite low key and used only for rhythm, effects (very few), or atmosphere.

Of the 12 songs, 7 are incredibly good and make the CD worth purchasing. For good or ill, the hands-down best song on the CD is the first track, "Good Things." If you are not tapping your toes and struggling to sing along with the chorus, check your wrist for a pulse or your toe for a morgue tag. Simply great pop-rock with a bittersweet edge. The BoDeans have written the quintessential unrequited pop love song.

However, even though the album reaches its zenith right out of the gate, there are still a good number of gems waiting for the listener. "Any Given Day," the fifth track, features a chorus riff and lyric that you will be singing for days after. I'm not sure if these guys missed their true calling in writing jingles for commercials, but I am glad they've done something with their gift. "For one dollar you can see angels call/For two dollar you can see your enemies fall/For three dollar, you can be king for a day." Trust me. You WILL be singing this!

"Do I Do" and "Bad for You" are more hand-clapping, car-dancing inspiring pieces. Both love songs, the first manages to be both bittersweet and sensually groovy. The second, "Bad for You," is a romp of a song, featuring simple (though not simplistic) lyrics and a (here's that word again) fabulously infectious rhythm.

Additionally, "True Devotion," "Paradise," and "Long Hard Day" all match up to the BoDeans at their best. Spanning from sad lament to rocking anthem, they draw you in and have you searching the CD booklet to ensure you can sing along next time.

While I state that 7 songs are stand outs, only 2 of the tracks are what I consider unredeemable failures: "Black, White and Blood Red" and "Going Home." It's not the music that fails here; it's the ear-bloodying vocals of the #2 singer of the group. Sounding as if he swallowed a mouthful of broken glass, his raspy singing voice really grates on these tracks. For the other 10 songs, the other singer does the vocals, and his style and voice are simply great. On "True Devotion," the two share singing responsibilities, but it works on that track.

"Forever on My Mind," "Naked" and "Hell of a Chance" simply don't register with me. They're not bad or good -- a bit bland and unremarkable. If the CD is playing out of reach, I let the tracks play. If it's playing on my PC or close by, I will skip them.

If you only know the BoDeans through "Closer to Free," you'll really dig this collection. If you're looking for great listener-friendly rock to clean the house, wash the car, or get ready to go out on a Saturday night, search no longer.

4 out of 5 stars Wholehearted release.......2001-07-09

This Wisconsin band's fourth album is a solid, hearty and wholesome effort without being stodgy. It is enjoyable throughout as the BoDeans have put together 12 tracks of fresh, easy-to-digest guitar-based rock.

The other main strengths evident here are their songwriting and their two vocalists. Singers Sam Llanas and Kurt Neumann have pleasing and distinctive voices.

Three of the more intense songs, "Long Hard Day", "Naked" and the single "Black, White and Blood Red" are certainly highlights.

Black and White is immediately accessible and does not seem to have a weak spot.

5 out of 5 stars If All Hiroshima Albums Were This Good..........2005-07-26

Hiroshima is, without doubt, an unprecedented band for the fusion of Jazz and Asian rhythms and instrumentals. This is the album which shows this best. I have tried several others but, alas, Hiroshima seems persistently interested in mediocre vocals and even less noteworthy lyrics. Please, please, please stick to the instrumentals which are so wonderful in "Between Black and White". Everything else is second best.

5 out of 5 stars This is what they do best!.......2002-01-11

After experimenting with "Urban World Music," Hiroshima is back and this time they've stuck to their original formula for success: Creating instrumentals that run deep! They only included one song with lyrics, "The Door Is Open," and it's the cream of the crop because this CD is mostly a showcase of Hiroshima's latest signature jazz sound. The instrumentals on this CD is the music style of Hiroshima that has kept me coming back for 15 years!

3 out of 5 stars Disappointing.......2001-08-07

After L. A. and other great efforts Hiroshima looses steam with this effort. While the album is not bad it does lack the energy of the previous efforts. A three-year mountain of waiting has produced a molehill of sound. This album is only for the most rabid fans of the group other should steer clear and spend there hard earned cash somewhere else.

4 out of 5 stars Wow!.......2000-08-19

I am 19 and am sick of campus rock music, so I dared to check out something new & different. I like Kodo, but wanted something a little different. I saw the Hiroshima cd, and figured I was throwing money away, but after only 2 minutes of listening, I knew that I had a real winner. I can't wait to buy thier past music! This is a really unique sound that I only wish I would have found sooner!

5 out of 5 stars Hiroshima has return in the best of form........2000-01-22

Hiroshima's latest CD release: Between Black and White, is one of their best yet. the group has return to their original jazz genre, without many vocal tracks to distract their unique sound, for existence, their previous CD: Urban World Music has contained. My first listening to this CD, had me spellbound, which the music took me into another world of it's own like no other jazz artist could maintained. I love every song on this CD, and it was well worth the wait from one of the best contemporary jazz artists in the world, and i am waiting for their next project to be released. This CD is a "MUST" to be purchased by hiroshima fans, and others who are not familiar with their great talent and unique sound. Between Black and White has deliver my expectations,and it's well worth the money spent, and more. after listening to this CD, i will guarantee that you will not be disappointed. I just can't comprehend on why this group has not receive the national recognition they truly deserve from the music industry. Spread the word.

5 out of 5 stars Great set of wartime rarities.......2003-05-14

Spike Jones was the king of the novelty song performers, with hits like "Der Fuehrer's Face" and the parody version of "Sheik of Araby" becoming huge hits during World War II. This is a swell 3-CD set, gathering a full eighty-one of Jones' best tracks from his 1940s heyday, drawn from an extensive archive of radio broadcasts made for the Standard Transcription service. The tightness of his City Slickers band is amply demonstrated in these manic, kookily orchestrated performances. Toots, squonks, blatts and bleats whiz by at lightning speed, as one daffy song after another will delight devoted fans. Amazingly, Jones had the unusual, almost unique ability to perform a repertoire almost entirely made up of comedic material, and yet still be quite listenable and engaging. His jazz chops were hardly in question, and from time to time Jones would dash off a non-novelty ballad or two, just to give the rubes something to think about. Of course, just as often he would perform a song that *sounded* like a straight ballad, but would turn out to be another goof. (One great example of this is the sultry "Serenade To A Jerk," sung in slinky, burlesque tones by Myrtle Horwin.) This collection may seem a little overwhelming, but like his studio recordings, these radio performances have a certain brilliance and joie de vivre about them that will leave you enchanted. Definitely worth checking out!

This collection has remastered material from the large stack of Standard Transcription discs from the early 1940's. There are many songs not recorded on RCA, many on the theme of wartime ("48 Reasons Why"), and the quality is excellent. The packaging is threadbare but this is an essential CD package for true music lovers.

5 out of 5 stars A Must For any Zebra Fan!!.......2005-08-27

Having been born and raised in New Orleans I've been listening to Zebra sice I was a teen (now 37). The cd is great from start to finish. It has unreleased tracks and alternate versions of some their best known songs. No way to be disappointed with the track list. The only oter song I would've squeezed on here would be a cover Zep's The Ocean. A truly outstanding best of.

4 out of 5 stars excellent new orleans band..........2001-04-17

fisrt heard of these guys in high school when radio was playing " lullaby," and its my favorite zebra song..."bears" and "who's behind the door ? " are also very good...one of the lesser known 80's bands that had gold records and a cult following...

5 out of 5 stars ALL OF THIS FROM A 3-MAN BAND?.......2000-06-22

If you're a fan of 80's rock, this is a sure-fire winner to add to your collection. Zebra is a band that produces one of the most unique sounds you will ever hear- why they never made it to the top of the world of rock is a mystery to me. If you haven't heard their music, buy this CD and enjoy the ride. If you have heard of this band, then you already have their previous releases in your collection.

This group reminds me of Rush in many ways: A three-man band with a distinctive sound, songs with excellent lyrics, and musicians who are very talented. In listening to this CD, it still amazes me that this band is a trio. Equally amazing is their ability to produce the goods on stage as well, as I have seen them live many times.

Go ahead and add to your cart one of the most overlooked bands of its era.

5 out of 5 stars THE BEST BAND NEVER TO MAKE THE BIGS.......2000-06-17

I'll state from the beginning that I am from Zebra's hometown and have been going to their concerts since they began playing. But I grew up a huge fan of the 80's mega band/metal sound and have also seen Van Halen, AC/DC, Def Leppard, Journey, Boston, Scorpions, Motley Crue, Judas Priest etc. in concert as well and own just about every CD from these bands.

If you are looking to hear some phenomenal music from that era and don't have Zebra in your collection, put it in your cart now. This band rocks and you will not be dissapointed. I rank them up there with my favorite band of all time, Van Halen. Yes, they're that good. One of the best bands of their era not to hit the big time. And yes, I will be going to their next local concert.

3 out of 5 stars What's Black & White and Rock'n'Roll All Over?.......2000-06-03

This is the album to get from Zebra. They were the "unknown" band with the semi-hit, Who's Behind the Door. This three man band's lead guitarist/singer, Randy Jackson, has the vocal stylings of a hard rock Frankie Valli. He has a HIGH voice. But that's okay, because it works on Zebra's music.

The songs Tell Me What You Want, Hard Livin' Without You and Wait Until the Summer's Gone really rock. There's also some more good, melodic tunes in Bears, Lullaby and Who's Behind the Door. Also fun is Riverside and Better Not Call. The other tracks are fair.

Zebra is really one of the great, but relatively "unknown" bands of the 80's and 90's. They're right up there with Steelheart, Thunder, XYZ and Shooting Star. Give them a try, there's some good stuff in this release.

Album Description

One of Scotland's most successful bands, they defined a generation, have scored over twenty Top 20 hits in a career spanning nearly three decades. They have sold over thirty million records, had five #1 albums, a #1 single in America - plus three American Top Ten singles and have been voted Q magazine's world's best live act. Now after a three year hiatus Simple Minds are back with their best CD since New Gold Dream, called Black and White 050505. Jim Kerr & co-founder Charlie Burchill sound every bit as good as they did at the height of their fame in the '80s. Mixed by the legendary Bob Clearmountain (Roxy Music, Rolling Stones, INXS), Black & White is a very strong & contemporary album with an anthemic, epic sound that embodies everything the band was ever revered for. 9 total tracks. Sanctuary. 2005. * No US release until early 2006!

Album Details

The Most Successful Scottish Band of the 1970's and 80's Return with an Album that is Quite Strong and Contemporary with an Epic Sound that Embodies Everything They have Been Extolled for in the Past. According to Founder Jim Kerr: "we Wanted to Make an Album Once Again that was Full of Dramatic and Atmospheric Pop Music...we Felt that We Needed an Album that Proved as Much to Ourselves as Anyone Else, that the Big Beating Heart of Simple Minds was Very Much Alive...".

5 out of 5 stars they are not dead..a glory come back.......2006-08-15

a real true simple minds come back with true simple minds music.A miracle has happened.

5 out of 5 stars they are back on route again.......2006-05-04

This album is a great offering and can be placed next to other classic Simple Minds albums such as their most commercial New Gold Dream. Again we are treated with good melody lines and Jimm Kerr sounds back in shape, we all can sing along again. Old fans should definite give them a new chance and listen to it , I am sure you won't be disappointed.

5 out of 5 stars Everyone is a critic!!.......2006-04-14

How can people be so critical? I think this album is excellent. Imagine being constantly compared to what you did last year or to the other guys next door. I have not really given Simple Minds much of a listen over the years, but after buying this CD I am buying some of their other albums. I am dissapointed that another CD called Our Secrets Are The Same is not easily found in my neck of the woods (BC, Canada). I can honestly say this 47 year old will keep listening to this great band over the years and I look forward to another new album.

3 out of 5 stars No Glittering Prizes.......2006-03-22

Damn you Messrs Burchill and Kerr - I was pumped up and at the ready to give Simple Minds a glowing comeback report, yet you reneged on your side of the bargain by offering up a troublingly dull album.
It's now over a decade since Simple Minds released their last decent album Good News From The Next World, home to forgotten, but far from inconsequential, singles such as Hypnotised and She's A River, so it would have been great to see the 1980s stadium behemoths still offering albums to rival the current output of their early UK offsiders Echo And The Bunnymen and U2. After an extensive lay-off only broken by an unloved covers album, it seems peculiar that Simple Minds stalwarts Jim Kerr and Charlie Burchill can only notch up nine tunes for Black & White 050505's tracklisting. As the recent half hour The Repulsion Box album from fellow Glaswegians Sons & Daughters has proven, quality should always surpass quantity. Sadly this new Simple Minds record also fails in that respect, with Kerr's forceful intonations on opener Stay Visible resembling the vocal style that Bono gave up on around Rattle & Hum. Kerr similarly stumbles while going for Michael Hutchence's smooth and sultry Devil Inside delivery on Home, with the middling results being exhibited on many of Black & White's tunes. Only cinematic closer Dolphins - clocking in at almost six minutes but managing to create something as epic as past Simple Minds treasures - gives hope of a Simple Minds resurgence, yet it's too little too late. No glittering prizes here, just some memories of how great Simple Minds once were.

5 out of 5 stars Simple Minds at their best...........2006-02-02

I've been a Simple Minds fan since high school (OK, 1985!), and have always enjoyed their music. Ironically, I got into their "back" catalog as I grew older. My high school days were filled with "Don't You Forget About Me" and "Alive and Kicking", along with all the other great tunes from "Once Upon A Time".

Then, while in college, Simple Minds release "Street Fighting Years" and simply blow me away. To this day, this album remains one of my all time favorites from any band. Next comes "The Real Life", and the band continues to amaze. I can't get enough.

Unfortunately, from that point, their popularity in the states starts to fade, and many one time "fans" write them off as "one of those 80's bands". Sure, there were flashes of Simple Minds brilliance in the 90's - songs from "Good News.." and "Neapolis" come to mind - but an album like "Street Fighting Years" didn't seem to be in the cards anymore for the band.

Until now. When I first popped in "Black and White" and heard the first notes of "Stay Visible", I knew instantly I was hearing the soaring, atmospheric, passionate Simple Minds that I knew still existed. Followed closely by the first single "Home" and new single (well, new everywhere except in the U.S., but don't get me started on that) "Stranger", Simple Minds are simply back on top of their game.

To me, I know an album has grabbed my attention if I continuously play it, and ignore the rest of my 2,000 cds for a while. That's what "Black and White" has done to me since I first played it. If you are, were, or aren't even a Simple Minds fan, pick up this new release and you will believe all the folklore "hype" that has been said and written about this group once standing toe to toe with U2 for international rock stardom. U2 may have reached the summit of world domination (and rightly so), but this record proves that Simple Minds belong right up there with them.
