rogressive rock fans, but I've generally found that crowd to be pretty open minded, so I think they'd enjoy it as well.
Their best in my opinion........2007-05-24
In my opinion, this is Dream Theater's best album. That doesn't mean that I don't appreciate some of the genius work on Images and Words and Awake, it just means that, as an entire album, this one is slightly better. Images and Words as well as Awake have some of the best Dream Theater songs (Learning To Live, Metropolis Pt. 1, Caught In A Web, Scarred) to date, but Scenes From A Memory is more cohesive from beginning to end.
This release is Dream Theater's first attempt at a concept album. Whether or not you enjoy concept albums is irrelevant because each song can stand on it's own without the knowledge that the entire album follows one main storyline. Each song is very unique without straying too far from the Dream Theater formula that made them what they are. Highlights for me are Home, Fatal Tragedy, The Spirit Carries On, and Finally Free. As always, the musicianship is phenomenal without being too self indulgent as DT can sometimes be. The song structures are complex, but not so much as to take away from the overall atmosphere of each song.
This is also the first album with current (as I'm writing this) keyboardist Jordan Rudess. Jordan is obviously very talented and adds a new element to the band that wasn't there in previous albums. Not a better element, just a new element. I believe Kevin Moore was better at creating melodies than Jordan, but I believe Jordan is better during the interlude and fill sections. Six of one, half dozen of the other I guess.
I own every Dream Theater album to date and SFAM still gets the most play in my stereo, closely followed by Images and Words and Awake. I enjoy all of the albums since SFAM, but I don't think they have since captured the same magic and probably never will again.
As with every review, these are my opinions and I'm sure many people will disagree with me, but that's what makes these reviews so much fun. Enjoy!

With the same alternative-pop theme as the first Smallville collection, this second disc once again reveals just how much the show integrates music into its plot lines and overall feel. The track list includes familiar songs such as the All American Rejects' "Dirty Little Secret," and Depeche Mode's newest hit "Precious," but there are also a few surprises. The Alan Moulder remix of the Dandy Warhols' "All The Money Or Simple Life Honey" is a booty-shaking blast, while the rock-meets-goth cover of Chris Isaak's "Wicked Game" courtesy of HIM is an amusingly amped-up new take on the older tune. Actress-songstress Minnie Driver offers her light jazz take on Springsteen's "Hungry Heart" (which also appeared on her debut disc), and Lifehouse delivers their touching version of "You and Me," while Josh Kelley's "Almost Honest" could be the soundtrack to anybody's breakup or breakdown. It's true that many of these songs have been previously released, but Smallville fans are a devoted bunch who will likely appreciate being able to buy their favorite tracks on one disc. --Denise Sheppard
Customer Reviews:
Metropolis Mix.......2007-06-01
I loved the Talon Mix (Smallville Vol One), so I thought this would be another great CD. I was disappointed. It has about 4 songs that are good. But everything else is pretty dull. There's tons of great music throughout the seasons of Smallville. Hopefully the next Volume will be better.
Super Metropolis.......2007-05-24
I enjoy listening to this CD as it reminds me of a TV series that I particularly like & the music has been an integral part of that enjoyment.
Smallville Musical Wonders.......2007-05-23
The second volume of hits added to the Smallville soundtrack is quite a delight!
Whether you like the smooth rhythm of Depeche Mode rendering "Precious", the deeply romantic "You and Me" from Lifehouse, the bouncing fun of The All-American Rejects in "Dirty Little Secret" or the soulful "Hungry Heart" from Minnie Driver, this soundtrack has it all and more!
Don't miss it!
Love IT.......2007-05-14
This is a great soundtrack even if you are not a Smallville fan (but I am).
Another Winning Smallville Soundtrack.......2007-04-11
This soundtrack contains many different styles of music and all are worth-while. The only song I didn't like was Superman by Stereophonics, but the rest of the tracks, and especially the first two, certainly make up for it. I recommend this soundtrack for any Smallville fan, or for anyone who likes good music.

Album Description
MSI's music is a hybrid of Atari driven electronics with a venomous splash of ADD punk rock. There are three different versions of this release: a 10 track explicit version with a video for "You'll Rebel To Anything", an 11 track clean version with a video of "Diabolical", and an 11 track extra heavy double vinyl version. The clean and vinyl formats have two entirely different bonus tracks and all three have their own individual artwork, so true collectors will think nothing of owning them all. "MSI are, to me, how punk rock should sound in the 21st century: abrasive, brilliant, and sounding like no one else"--Rhys Fulber (Front Line Assembly). "...one of the most creative and genre-swirling outfits on the scene"--Serj Tankian (System Of A Down).

this cd is awful .......2007-01-09
this band sucks i bought this 2 months ago it,s bad very bad i like static x and minstry but thesse people suck to high heaven only 3 songs are any good . Besides mars volta they suck too Deadsy verison of rush,s tomsawyer was great either but it was better than mindless verison .
i did like track 3 and track 6 and track 7. the rest really bad deadsy new cd is better than this cd so much better i am not PUNK ROCK FAN I DON,T HATE IT . it just not my style today punk from 2000 to now i like A.F I BUT I i like more of prog metal that is my main foucs if going to be alt rock it got to be some goth/ industrial this band is awful .
Dang, shut up and like it will ya?.......2006-07-25
Okay.... gotta say it... SHUT YER COMPLAINING ABOUT THE 'TIME TOTAL' OF THIS RECORD!!!!! You are all giving me a headache! Now, lets talk about HOW GREAT THIS ALBUM IS!!! Its what got me into MSI. Before I heard them, I DIDNT EVEN LIKE MUSIC. But when I took this cd from my friend and downloaded it to my comp, I literally fell in 'like'. Sure, it took me a few listen(s) to really get into it ((regarding the fact that I never really listened to a specific band before)) but ever since, I cant stop obessing! 'Shut Me Up' (the first song) is rawsum and to this day I can still listen to it twenty or more times in a row.
So, basically, this must be a GREAT/AWSOME/RAW album if someone like me ((like one of the pickiest people out there)) got into it. MSI is truly an addiction for me. After listening to them, I got FGWSSS, Straight to Video Single, and most of their other songs from cds like 'Tight' you cant find in most stores. Heck, Im listening to 'Thank God' right now. In fact, the other day I went to their concert!!!
All in all, if you are looking for something disturbingly freaky and original you can find it with MSI. Check this cd out dispite what other 'picky' people say. Who cares, I WOULDNT BE WRITING A REVIEW IF THEY WERENT THIS GREAT!!!!
this band sucks.......2006-07-11
my god what has the world come too....this bad is so called unique...hell thats becasue they suck worse than anyone else before them....total insult to rock/metal. This is pop.
Shite..........2006-04-18
If you like the whole new wave electro rock thing than listen to The Faint instead. Similar style of music without the crappy vocals.
Great album but very poor and underhanded marketing!.......2006-03-12
I'll break this review in to three parts. First, the review of the album itself. Second, the review of the tactics used by MSI and Metropolis Records to sell this album. Lastly, my advice on getting everything that should have been included on one album.
1. The review of the album:
Simply put, if you like previous MSI albums, Babyland or stuff like Korn you'll eat this up. It's another top notch hybrid electronic, punk/metal, lofi quasi-hip hop, quasi-post-industrial genre-bending album. I suppose this would have fallen in to the label "coldwave" circa mid-90's post-industrial labeling. It's not exactly coldwave, not exactly anything other than the sum of its influences, which seem to be mainly hip-hop, post-industrial and punk/metal. The highlights of the album are definitely "Shut Me Up" and "Stupid MF", although there isn't really a weak track here. Another bonus is a positively weird cover of Rush's "Tom Sawyer". Be sure to put the CD in your computer as there is a video for "You'll Rebel To Anything" (it's a neat collage of old 50's propaganda footage mixed with weird cartoons, vintage stock film interspersed with just general weirdness.)
2. Commentary about questionable gouging of consumer by label/band:
There is absolutely no reason for there to be three different versions of this album except to rip off the consumer. Period. In an interview Jimmy Urine said they released a clean version for people who couldn't buy the album in places like Wal-Mart. Who cares about Wal-Mart? For someone so outspoken and inspired by punk, it bothers me that he'd cave to pressures to release an edited version of anything, let alone an entire album. That leads me to believe it wasn't an effort to cater to the imbeciles who buy music at Wal-Mart but rather a flimsy excuse to release a different version of the album, with different artwork and different bonus tracks.
When I used to buy a lot of electro/industrial (circa mid-90's) I remember this type of crap burning the hell out of me. I'd buy the import of a particular artist (say, someone like Haujobb) and then a year or so later a domestic version would come out with bonus tracks. And it'd cost LESS to boot! So all the "early adopters" and people on the cutting edge would get burned over and over. I can't tell you how many CDs I bought like that when I used to buy a lot of obscure electro/industrial music. It's a trick in order to separate you from your money, nothing more. If they cared only about exposing underground music to a new audience then they'd simply license the album and release it exactly as it was originally in Europe. But I digress.
3. My advice:
Buy this explicit version, then download the bonus tracks "La-Di Da-Di" (bonus track on vinyl) and "Mic Commander" (bonus track on clean version) off teh intarweb and say fsck you to Metropolis Records/MSI for forcing us to buy three versions of the same album in order to get two extra tracks, different artwork and a bonus video (the clean version of this album has a "bonus rehearsal video for 'Diabolical'"). Alternately, if you feel like giving MSI more of your hard-earned money, you can at least get the track "Mic Commander" on iTunes Music Store by itself.
In summation, MSI are a great band and if you like punk, electro-industrial, metal with electronic influences (Fear Factory), hip-hop, nu-metal, coldwave/aggro-industrial (Ministry) then you'll probably totally dig this album.
Also, check out Jhonen Vasquez's video for "Shut Me Up" on myspace (or just do a google search for it). The ex-Johnny the Homicidal Maniac/Squee/Invader Zim/etc. mastermind pulls of

k. His vocals have mellowed and become more lyrical, and Meta contains a much larger range of styles than previous albums. His lyrics have always been good, but I believe he surpassed himself this time: 'Decades' and 'Old', in particular, are amazing. It's nice to hear an EBM artist breaking some new ground.

Catchy, Quirky, and Dark!.......2007-07-25
Wow, this CD probably doesn't even need another review, but I had to chime in. I only just discovered this band, and I've been playing this CD non-stop! Its surprisingly what I might call goth-pop but I mean that in a better way then it sounds. The songs are catchy and infectious yet dark and layered. Just enough rock mixed in. If your a fan of Collide, or Switchblade Symphony you'll likely like this CD too. Check out their video for Blue on their myspace page. Creepy and cool! I'm an instant fan!

THE BEST ALBUM OF 2007 THUS FAR!!!!.......2007-06-20
Holy crap! I was not expecting this to be so good. Not even one single song sucks. This is one of the best industrial metal records ever fricken made. This thing hits hard and punches you in the face! The guitars and the electronics work perfectly together and Eric Powell's vocals are clear and dressed up exactly right. This is definitly their best record. Jeez, is it possible to make this rating any higher? If your any kind of a rivethead worth your salt, you allready own this album. Amazing!
Oh hell yeah!.......2007-06-20
This is the best damm album if 2007! I'm serious. I love it. This is some punchy industrial metal that I never thought would ever come back...and it came back with an explosion. Buy the album!!!!
Great CD!.......2007-06-19
What can I say, I love this CD right off the bat. It's already haunting me(in a good way)
Suffering You.......2007-06-19
Talk about a comeback record. FullBlackHabit quite literally picks up where SuperCoolNothing left off. Although, this album is much much MUCH louder! The guitar riffs are nothing you havent heard before, but just like the last album, they fit the music perfectly. Loads of awesome Coldwave goodness from the break-beats, to the electronic blips and beeps and the uniquely dark vocals. The whole feel of this album is just cool as hell. Really cant add too much more than the last several folks have. If you like 16 Volt this is essential, no way around that. Industrial fans need this record. Best played REALLY loud. Highlights include Cables & Wires, Suffering You, and The Defect People, but the whole record is insanely good and worth repeated listens. Hell even Steve White of KMFDM/Pig and Paul Raven of Killing Joke/Ministry made their way on this record. For 16 Volt fans and HARD-hitting industrial in general

dies and ominous arrangements. Almost every original cut on this soundtrack appears in an expanded version, supplemented by nearly a dozen previously unreleased cues and alternate takes. Featuring a deluxe slipcase and extensive, new liner notes, this is the definitive release of one of Maestro Williams's greatest scores. --Jerry McCulley
Customer Reviews:
Original 1978 Recording?.......2007-04-04
FIVE STAR FOR MUSIC. 1 STAR FOR AUDIO. Ok I've wanted this recording for almost 4 years. Now I got it. I am a discerning listener. This soundtrack is not the best quality. Tape hiss is very pronounced. You can tell it's taken directly from a cassette recording. I have other digital recordings of this music. They are miles ahead of this cd. Soundtrack is on the Rhino label. What? Rhino is not known for high fidelity. So it is very deceiving for one to buy a cd thinking it's John Williams conducting on a new recording in 1998 or whenever. It's the actual 1978 recording. Now let me unleash my rage. This thing sounds as if it's recorded with a single microphone in a bathroom, at a truck stop. Yes the music is phenomenal. My favorite track is #2 Krypton. I was hoping to discover some new hidden melodies that I've never heard in previous recording (original 1978). Nope. This IS the 1978 recording. So I will be getting the Debney recording just so I can hear what I'm missing. Love the music. Just can't hear it. ALL OF IT! But cool booklet. I can't listen to a booklet. But I got it. Whoopee.
AWESOME! John Williams shows again why he's the master of movie scores.......2006-08-31
After over a year of trying to find a seller of this fine soundtrack, I finally found it! It is high time that the full score was released on CD.
The original soundtrack release from 1978, while still an excellent collection, was sadly lacking in several of the best cues from the film. Most important of these was Track 12 (Disc 1) in which the helicopter crashes on the Daily Planet's roof and dangles precariously above the street. Williams builds on it, introducing Superman's theme into it as Clark Kent runs across the street, then rips open his shirt to reveal the 'S' - the symbol of the House of El - then enters the revolving door & exits as Superman. At the end of this is one of my favorite cues; the Superman theme is played as the Man of Steel appears above Metropolis, flying over the city on the hunt for criminals. 'Crime of the Century' (Track 6, Disc 2) was one of my favorite cues; this one portrayed the missile convoy as it made its way along the freeway, where Luthor staged the accident to get his cronies close enough to sabotage the missiles. There are too many new tracks to list here that should have been included the first time around, just a lack of space precluded this from happening.
Is John Williams Superman???.......2006-08-20
After listening to the CD, John Williams must be Superman. By far, the greatest movie score ever written.
Excellent!.......2006-08-10
Other than the over kill of "Can you read my mind", an excellent collection.
Hector, about the liner notes..........2006-07-14
I have the previous edition, and the notes that came with it were nestled next to the CD in a thick booklet (with a cover of Reeve in front of an American flag) that was large enough for the slipcase cover, but too big to fit into the CD case front. Otherwise, the one-sheet cover that came with your soundtrack is identical to the slipcase version.

- The Dream
Album Description
A captivating hybrid of 80s electronica and aggressive guitars, curiously fused with a cinematic quality of melodic progressions. Their 2005 debut, "Violet" catapulted them into the hearts of not only electronic but rock fans as well. While the band works on their next album for late 2007, Metropolis is re-releasing this out-of-print, self-released 2002 record, featuring early versions of the popular tracks "Happy Birthday", "Horror Show", "Video Kid", "The Dream", and five unavailable since the band's release went out of print.

TBM will go FAR!!!!! .......2007-07-30
the birthday massacre is not a band that has become "mainstream", at least not yet. and in a way this is very surprising because the talent is undeniable, and their sound so effortlessly unique that few bands are able to succeed at this, especially on their first try. most people aware of TBM know them through their album "violet," especially since THIS nothing and nowhere was out of print for quite a while, until its recent re-release. there are 4 tracks here already present on "violet," [[happy birthday, horrow show, video kid, & the dream]] although owning both albums is definitely NOT "a waste." the tracks that appear again on violet have a different sound, and sometimes sound more "polished" as in the case of "happy birthday." howevever, personally if i must choose between one of the versions of "the dream", i'd say i prefer the one here on Nothing and nowhere. the other tracks [[promise me, under the stairs, to die for, over, and broken]] are pure genius, and pure proof of TBM's ability to mix their sound amazingly well. TBM has often said themselves that they do not like to label their sound, and they are proud to have such a wide variety of fans, from goth to rock to techno/dance fans. i personally found "to die for" to be simply addictive and played it a few days straight non-stop. its mellow, dreamy and romantic state made me a bit melancholic, but in a good way. watch for the track "broken" which is an edgier TBM sound not found in any other track in this album. i'd definitely say it's the album's most "hardcore" track, if not of ALL the TBM tracks combined. it definitely epitomizes a cyber-goth club, at least to me!! this album is definitely something worth checking out, if not only to experience one band's talent and ability to mix such different genres.
my personal favs are to die for, promise me, broken, and under the stairs with my ALL-TIME TBM FAVORITE track being "happy birthday", the version on violet however. =) i am super-excited for their new album, "walking with strangers" which will be released on september 10 2007. they are touring as well this season, so be sure to check them out if you can!! they are one of the VERY FEW bands i know that try so hard to make their venues be for all ages [since they are aware that they do have younger fans too] AND which go for ridiculously affordable prices. LONG LIVE THE THE BIRTHDAY MASSACRE!!!!! =)
They have found the perfect niche.......2007-07-28
My comments are probably going to be about this band in general, as much as they referring to this album specifically.
First off, this band is simply amazing. They seem to have successully balanced every type of music that I like under the "rock" banner. There is some metal, industrial, 80's new wave melody, female goth. There is plenty of melody here that you can sing along to, but enough aggression to not worry about this being a dance-pop band. Chibi has a nice voice, but she knows how to play to her strengths. She is not one of those opera girls who like to show off, but she is not ultra-depressed either.
This album in particular leans a little more towards the industrial/dance side of the equation than Violet does. For example, there is no song that goes for the throat like "Blue" (but one could make an argument that "Broken" goes in this direction). However, there are lots of strong songs on here that were not on Violet. I would have to say that my favorite somg on here that was not on Violet is "Promise Me". This song has a certain sweetness to the lyrics, even though you could look at them as depressing too.
I wish more bands expanded on this type of sound, but that just shows you how great this band is. Overall, I can't say enough about TBM. Check out a couple full length songs on their my-space page. I think you will either "get it" or not immediately. If you are one of the folks who do, run out and buy Nothing And Nowhere and Violet as soon as possible!
