Before Sgt. Pepper, no one seriously thought of rock music as actual art. That all changed in 1967, though, when John, Paul, George and Ringo (with "A Little Help" from their friend, producer George Martin) created an undeniable work of art which remains, after 30-plus years, one of the most influential albums of all time. From Lennon's evocative word/sound pictures (the trippy "Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds," the carnival-like "Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite") and McCartney's music hall-styled "When I'm 64," to Harrison's Eastern-leaning "Within You Without You," and the avant-garde mini-suite, "A Day in the Life," Sgt. Pepper was a milestone for both '60s music and popular culture. --Billy Altman

Before Music Videos - SGT Peppers - An Imaginary Experience .......2007-08-01

The most amazing thing about this Beatle record was/is that it transcends the musical experience. Keep in mind that in 1967, there was no MTV or VH1. When this record was playing your imagination went wild! It was like your own personal movie in your head. It starts like being at the theatre and then you go everywhere imagineable... sitting on a sofa with meter maid, inside the home of well meaning parents, going to the freak show circus, attending a church-like service with sitar, dreaming of growing old with the one you love, sitting in a high school class p*ssed off at the world, overcoming dysfunctional relations, riding in a boat, witnessing an accident, watching a fox hunt, reading a book, WOW. And everyone saw it there own personal way, no two imaginations are alike. The Beatles took you to a magical place within your own being with this record. I am grateful that there was no video to ruin it! BRAVO Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band! A Day in the Life is a masterpiece.

A classic.......2007-07-31

Sgt. Pepper deserves to be considered one of the greatest achievements in popular music. This issue is good quality and includes a nice booklet that explains the album - including a diagram of who's who on the cover picture.

Just a very good Beatles playlist.......2007-07-31

Is this the greatest album ever? It probably is in terms of influence, from packaging and marketing, to the very notion that a rock or pop music album really matters. In terms of its musical merit, one can easily make the case that Pepper has been overhyped - and its shortcomings are all the more glaring in light of the album's cannonical status in modern culture. This record has suffered from its own success - and after forty years - its conceivable that it now represents something of a let-down. After all, no recording could possibly meet the expectations that this album carries.
This album should be approached for what it is, a very solid album by a talented musical group (that only happens to be my favorite band - and maybe the favored band of quite a few others). The strongest points of the album are its opening tracks and closing tracks - which form a medley of sorts and further the illusion of conceptual unity. Many (Lennon included) have derided the idea that this album is truly a concept album - and it certainly is not one in the sense that the Who's "Tommy" or Pink Floyd's "The Wall" are. The concept is more fundamental - that this disc contains a set of pop/rock songs that have been thoughtfully arranged together for all time - and not packaged at random to meet immediate market demand. In a way, with Napster and I-Tunes, the great age of the album that began with Sgt. Pepper, "Pet Sounds," and other 1966/1967 releases has come to an end in this decade, and this has made it it even more difficult to grasp what the fuss was truly all about. But if one wished to make a short Beatles playlist on their I-pod that captured the overall personality of the group, as well as having a representative effort for each of its four members, and a good mix of rock, pop, and experimental numbers - Sgt. Pepper would be an ideal playlist.

Best Album Ever!!.......2007-07-30

This has got to be, without a doubt the best album ever!!
The genius of John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr shine in this album. Two of them are greatly missed. There are just no words to describe this album except for Pure Genius.

I've been reading some of the negative reviews on this album, and yes there are quite a few! Some say this album is satanic, others say it's overrated. Whatever! This album is not satanic, nor is it overrated. I think this album opened up a new kind of music into the world, and people loved it.

George's Indian music is amazing, and lets not forget John's masterpiece, "A Day in the Life."

I'm lucky enough to own the record, which I bought at a flea market for a $1.00. Yes, some moron sold his Sgt. Pepper album for a buck!! I took it home and the album works perfectly! I doubt it's a first edition, but who cares?

If you don't have this album, go buy it! Give it to your kids so they can appreciate what GOOD music sounds like.

6 MONTHS.......2007-07-28

apparently they were recording this album for 6 months...so you would have expected something truly amazing.but in my opinion it is no where near the best beatles album.abbey road is so much better.the 30 seconds in the middle of "a day in the life"(p macartney sings) is worth the money on its own.

Chris Daughtry starts his first post-American Idol disc with a song whose title reviewers coast to coast will be grateful for: "It's Not Over." What an understatement. For the Idol-watching rock fan's money, nobody--not even Southern-fried heartthrob Bo Bice in season four--stormed the stage with more raw talent. That it translates so well to a solo disc (Daughtry was recorded with studio musicians; future discs will include a Daughtry-assembled band) proves all he needed was a little prodding, the kind the tube has gotten so good at. Here are a dozen songs that'll flick your rock & roll switch, whether you're a Creed fan, a club kid, or a mambo king: "Used To" and "Over You," a couple of early tracks, ought to arrive bundled with a road map they're so highway sing-along-ready, and "Feels Like Tonight" screws the lid on the premise that Daughtry can deliver a punchy pop-rock song without flinching. Elsewhere, the North Carolina family man lets his inner (and outer, actually) goatee- and eyeliner-type guy rip: his built-for-the-hard-stuff voice bites down appealingly on "Breakdown," a dark serenade to mental health, and also on "What I Want," an '80s-style fist-pumper featuring Slash. The loud mad dash of those songs leads to a midtempo wind-down ("All These Lives," "What About Now"), but as a mix, it works. Daughtry is a man of many moods--contemplative, explosive, insistent, humble. No matter which pokes through on a given song, he steadies it to a place as honest as it is accessible. Rare is the rocker who lays out so broad an on-ramp. --Tammy La Gorce

Customer Reviews:

Excellent debut.......2007-08-06

I bought this cd with much delay, however I am glad that I did. Finding out that Chris is a Christian made the cd purchase that much easier and I, as a Christian can hear the spiritual lyrics infused into his songs. The cd is excellent, especially the opening track and my favorite "Crashed". Track 10 is my second favorite as well. If you're a fan of Chris Daughtry, you will not be disappointed with this cd.

Solid cd by second best Idol .......2007-08-02

Bought this at the same time I bought Elliott Yamin's album. I thought Elliott was more talented on the show, although it is hard to compare two such different entertainers. Not so hard with the albums. This one showcases the talent we saw out of Chris on Idol. Solid, if unspectacular performances, but solid nevertheless. I have listened to it repeated times, the true test of an album... at least to me.

Good first album.......2007-08-01

There are several songs on this album that stand out and are memorable, many of them (the ones not written by Daughtry and his band) are acceptable to good background music. I await his second album and hope that he takes more risk and makes a little more noise.

Explicit lyrics?.......2007-07-31

[...] This is probably the most G rated CD I listen to. It has heartfelt lyrics and if I had children I would have no problem with them listening to this.
The people in this band are family men and are proud of it.
[...]

!! NOT EXPLICIT- CLEAN ROCK!!!.......2007-07-31

I don't know how the Explict tag wound up on this CD! I have had this CD since the day it was released and had it on continuous play for the first seven months. I have mentioned in boards before this how much I appreciated the fact that this CD was clean, I am really careful what I listen to and love the fact there are no songs I need to skip because of content. Chris has mentioned before that he wanted to make sure this was a CD his kids could listen to. Does RCA know you put this tag on here??

When they exploded out of the gates on their 2004 debut, Contraband, Velvet Revolver were met with as much diffidence as appreciation. After all, supergroups have tended to detonate as often as succeed, and with vocalist Scott Weiland, bassist Duff McKagan, and guitarist Slash all vying to keep the lit match away from the fuse, the odds against this band ever seeing album #2 were even money at best. Surprise! Not only have Velvet Revolver survived three years with unreckless abandon, this album blows the doors off its predecessor. Save a pair of disinfected ballads ("The Last Fight," "Gravedancer"), Libertad is all about hand-grenade chords, drag-racing riffs, and circus-tent choruses. The ageless McKagan and Slash continually gun for the disorderliness of their former band (most notably on the punkish opener "Let It Roll" and its lewd brother "Spay"), while Weiland sounds--knock on wood--positively clean and like a voice of boisterous renewal on tracks like "Mary Mary," "She Builds Quick Machines," and the melt-in-your-mouth cover of ELO's "Can't Get It Out of My Head." Obviously egos have been checked at the studio door, as Velvet Revolver have already exceeded their anticipated existence. And now that existence goes back on the clock, trying to outshine a second album that's head-and-shoulders better than the first. --Scott Holter

Customer Reviews:

Put the earphones on and don't run away!.......2007-08-06

The new Velvet Revolver effort Libertad lives up to its predecessors standards and in some way surpasses it. It may sound kind of dumb but if GNR and STP did the nastys this would be their offspring. Some of the songs sound like "hey wasn't that on the STP alblum No. 5?!?" or "Isn't that the solo from november rain?" Although it sounds like its own effort in its own right.. occasionally if you listen closly the ghosts of the Deleo brothers or Axle wisper in the background. But like I said put the earphones on your head lock the door and let her play a few times... Songs to watch out for :

#5: THE LAST FIGHT
-This is the first song that stuck out at me. Slash playing a lighter dixielandish non-distorted guitar.

#7: AMERICAN MAN
-Listen for the spanish scales that blissfully appear one min in the song.

#10: CAN'T GET IT OUT OF MY HEAD
-This is the song where if you listen closly a little bit of november rain drips in.

#13: GRAVEDANCER & RE-EVOLUTION
-Ill give you 5 dollars if this does not get stuck in the ol noggin.. Re-Evolution is a gem in itself. Classic western ballade.

this album rocks!.......2007-08-05

Oh Lord after listening to the smashing pumpkins latest dribble What a relief! This is an album that cruises into high gear and never lets up.A definate must!!!

Libertad.......2007-08-04

Not as strong as the first album but one that grows on you the more it is played. The tour promoted it well and having seen Welland perform I think his live vocal performances are better than on the CD

Evolutionary Album.......2007-08-03

Soaring high above the masses, these men are exceptional rockers and never a disappointment. Definately more melodic than their debut, but in finds these guys more as 1 unit than on Contraband. Emotional and raw and driving it home like only these veterans can. The cover of the ELO song is awesome for this old timer who grew up in that era. Fun times.

Libertad -- An Awesome Achievement In Modern Rock.......2007-08-01

Before Velvet Revolver's sophomore album, Libertad, was released, there was much to say of the band--the "super group" of five members consisted of three from Guns N' Roses, one from the Stone Temple Pilots, and one that had never been in an official band before. Their debut effort, 2004's Contraband, was packed with hard-rocking GN'R style hits like "Sucker Train Blues," "Do It for the Kids," "Fall to Pieces," and of course the unforgettable "Slither". Libertad, which is the band's powerful second album, is no disappointment and has everything a Velvet Revolver fan could want. The band start off this legendary recording with a Use Your Illusion era GN'R-esque song called "Let It Roll," which contains very catchy guitar riffs by Slash and an excellent vocal performance by Scott Weiland. This is followed by the hypnotic "She Mine," which also has perfect chords by Slash. "Get Out the Door," the third track, is also an excellent addition to the album and is the one of the many ideal songs in Velvet Revolver's catalog. The fourth track, which undoubtedly by now the band's most popular song to date, could be called the "Welcome to the Jungle" of Velvet Revolver. This megahit, called "She Builds Quick Machines," is some of Slash's best work to date--not just Slash, but the entire band. Filled to the brim with awesome lyrics and stellar drumming, this song was surely a definitive make for the album. After the listener gets a taste of how hard Velvet Revolver can rock, the band settle down a bit with "The Last Fight," a beatiful ballad with more awesome work by Weiland and Slash. This four-minute piece is also already a fan favorite, and if you've heard it I think you'll agree. The next track is what I like to call the "Voodoo Child" of the 21st century. This song, appropriately called "Pills, Demons and Etc." features crazy wah-wah pedal guitar licks by Slash and fast-paced bass and vocals by Duff McKagan and Scott Weiland. Along with the latter five, the listener can also tell that much effort was put forth in this song. Another hit would have to be the ninth track, "Just Sixteen". Quite similar to the style of "She Builds Quick Machines," it also shows how the band can be very heavy at times. "Gravedancer," which is the second-to-last song on the original album, is songwriting at its best. An awesome wah influenced guitar solo by Slash and soft, efficient vocals by Weiland make this song surpass even "November Rain," a song which was Guns N' Roses' biggest ballad in their day. The country side of Velvet Revolver can be heard on the fourteenth and final track of the album, "Re-Evolution". What can be considered as the band's take on blues influenced country, it is probably the oddest standout from any album I've ever heard; it's sort of funny, in a way. There was also a deluxe edition of this album made, containing two bonus tracks: "Messages," a powerful ballad which is a strong reminder of "The Last Fight," and "Psycho Killer," which, in my opinion, serves as an excellent alternate close-up for an already awesome album. The overall impression of Velvet Revolver's sophomore album is strong and spellbinding, and has something that every rock fan can enjoy. This is something you won't want to miss out on.

The Beatles' last days as a band were as productive as any major pop phenomenon that was about to split. After recording the ragged-but-right Let It Be, the group held on for this ambitious effort, an album that was to become their best-selling. Though all four contribute to the first side's writing, John Lennon's hard-rocking, "Come Together" and "I Want You (She's So Heavy)" make the strongest impression. A series of song fragments edited together in suite form dominates side two; its portentous, touching, official close ("Golden Slumbers"/"Carry That Weight"/"The End") is nicely undercut, in typical Beatles fashion, by Paul McCartney's cheeky "Her Majesty," which follows. --Rickey Wright

Customer Reviews:

Abbey Road is a Masterpiece.......2007-08-04

Abbey Road is one of the Beatles finest albums. Released in 1969, Abbey Road will remain a timeless compilation of great songs for years to come. No matter what type of music you are into, you simply must have Abbey Road added to your musical library.

A Beatles classic.......2007-07-31

One of the greatest Beatles albums. This issue comes in a single crystal case with just an insert with the cover picture and song titles - no booklet of info on the album. Such an important album deserves an information booklet. One star subtracted for that.

beatles best.......2007-07-28

i wanted to give this 5 stars but octopus`s garden and maxwells silver hammer are the only negative tracks."something" is incredible (john lennon at his best).but i have to take my hat off to paul macartney for what is on side b."golden slumbers" and "carry that weight" are class..."mean mr mustard and polythene pam" are brilliant,but "you never give me your money" is in my opinion the best beatle track.it was the first time i had heard a song go in so many different directions but just come together so well.

The Beatles Just Got Better.......2007-07-27

So many groups seem to fade away in their creativity and sound. But the Beatles pushed it to the limit each and every time. Even as they were drifting apart as a group, their music continued to push boundaries of creativity and sound, leaving other groups behind in awe. Even to the point of a 23 second song called "Her Majesty" They literally did not waste a second.

Abbey Road, the title itself sums up the CD. The road that became a studio, that became a household name, to the point where 40 years later there are television specials of present day artists recording in the Abbey Road studios.

It doesn't get much better than Abbey Road!

Second Side is the Best.......2007-07-24

The second side of Abbey Road is my all time favorite record. I have listened to this album hundreds of times over since 1969, I think. The first side is pretty good-- I'd give it 3 stars. But the second side is fabulous. .-- Sam Yulish, author of WHERE HAVE ALL THE HIPPIES GONE and THE HESITANT PSYCHIC AND OTHER STRANGE STORIES.

Better known as the "White Album," this was meant to be the record that brought them back to earth after three years of studio experimentation. Instead, it took them all over the place, continuing to burst the envelope of pop music. Lennon and McCartney were still at the height of their powers, with Lennon in particular growing into one of rock's towering figures. But even McCartney could still rock, and the amazement on "Helter Skelter" was that he had vocal cords at the end. From Beach Boys knock-offs to reggae and to the unknown ("Revolution #9"), this has it all. Some records have legend written all over them; this is one. --Chris Nickson

Customer Reviews:

THE GREATEST OF ALL DOUBLE ALBUMS..........2007-08-05

THE WHITE ALBUM IS ONE OF THE GREATEST BEATLES ALBUMS INDEED. IT CERTAINLY RANKS AS THE GREATEST OF ALL OF ROCK DOUBLE ALBUMS EVER RELEASED!! THERE IS NO DOUBLE ALBUM SET WITH AS GREATLY VARIED SONG TYPES AND UNVERSAL MUSICIANSHIP THAT ANY ONE WILL FIND!!! THOUGH ALL OF THEM ARE PARTICIPATING IN EACH OTHER'S SONGS, WITH TECHNICALLY LESS COHESION THAN THEIR EARLIER ALBUMS, THE GROUP EFFORT ENHANCES EACH SONG STILL MORE THAN WHAT ANY OTHER GROUP COULD HAVE ACHIEVED UNDER SIMILAR CIRCUMSTANCES. LACK OF COHESION AND EMERGENCE OF TENSION WITHIN THE GROUP SOMEHOW WORKED IN SOME RARE WAY TO SHOWCASE EACH ONE'S TALENT AND OUTPUT IN AN ENHANCED WAY WHICH MADE THIS A VERY SPECIAL BEATLES (DOUBLE)ALBUM INDEED! GEORGE'S 'WHILE MY GUITAR GENTLY WEEPS', LONG,LONG,LONG' ARE TWO OF MY GREAT FAVORITES. THE ALBUM IS FULL OF REVELATIONS, PEARLS, POETICS, SHEER HARD ROCK, BLUES, HUMOR, FOLK STUFF, OLDER STYLES, EXPERIMENTAL EXCURSIONS, SATIRE, PHILOSOPHY, LOVE, POLITICS, PSYCHEDELIC INFLUENCE, RAW EMOTIONS, LAMENTATION, POP, ROCK AND ROLL, AND ALL THAT YOU CAN POSSIBLY IMAGINE ON THE MUSICAL HORIZON!! NO OTHER BAND COULD HAVE MADE SUCH AN ALBUM OF SUCH WIDE-RANGING ARTISTRY AND VISION. SO THERE YOU HAVE IT: THE GREATEST MUSICAL GROUP MAKES THE GREATEST OF ALL DOUBLE ALBUMS EVER RELEASED... A CONCURRENCE EVEN HARDER TO ACHIEVE!

This Rocks!.......2007-07-25

This Cd ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!! It's my favorite beatles album. It has a different veriety of songs. For Some songs you just have to appriciate the music instead of the lyrics like "why don't we do it in the road?"
The Only one i don't like is "Yer Blues". It's Like their solo albums. The Best CD i ever herd!!!!!!!!!!!!

A perennial classic.......2007-07-23

As good today as it was back in the 1980s when I first bought it.

Breaking the Barriers.......2007-06-29

This was the album where the Beatles grew up and moved into a more mature and less organised sound. That road had begun with "A Day In a Life" and "Within You Without You" and "Good Morning" in Sgt Peppers - but the Beatles were still a smart pop rock band then.

In the White Album, there is a wonderful sense of a loss of control - and yet this is still the Beatles at their creative peak. Not caring what people think, they're just playing to the maximum of their abilities. And shattering barriers.

The power of their varied personalities comes through. And different sides of their personality. Who cares about anything except the music I'm feeling now? seems to be the prevalent thought here. The White Album is the Beatles Matured - who would have imagined that the Beatles would create "Helter Skelter"? or "While My Guitar Gently Weeps"...Epic stuff that certified that the Beatles could rock. "Dear Prudence" and "Sexy Sadie" and "Blackbird" are eminently listenable. In fact - apart from some ditties and departures - the album is strikingly distinctive as a playground of sounds - it is dynamic from one end to the other and still eminently listenable and deep.

How do you define genius? This is one hard album to ignore.

Some of the Beatles Best Work.......2007-06-27

Wow...this brings back great memories. The songs are so diverse and unusual, showing their true talent and creative song writing abilities. The songs are fun and strange all at the same time. It is one of my favorites of the Beatles. When you can have "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" and "Rocky Raccoon" and "Blackbird" in one package....what more can you ask!

Bob Seger has racked up a lot of worthy tracks over the years, but it took until 1994 for a greatest hits package to appear. Voilà. The bad news: We're missing an awful lot of songs here. Night Moves is Seger's crit-pick album, and a great place to start if you don't have any Seger at all. Next in the rankings is Stranger in Town. Otherwise, his highs are pretty scattered, which would make any best-of package a worthy investment. But if you want to get comprehensive, "Rock & Roll Never Forgets," "Fire Down Below," "Horizontal Bop," "Her Strut," "Betty Lou's Getting Out Tonight," and "Katmandu" aren't on this CD--and you'll have to go to the original albums to secure them. --Gavin McNett

Just the tip of the iceburg.......2007-08-02

Yes it's missing a ton of songs BUT still worth every penny.This cd has been playing in my truck since December (before I saw Seger live in January). The man's a musical genius-way past due for a supercollection album!

Seger and passion for the big two wheeler.......2007-08-01

A lady friend is considering the purchase of a motorcycle. Aside from the skill and judgement, motorcycle ownership is about passion.

So I played Bob Seger's "Roll Me Away" for her. Now if you don't get a little choked up when Bob sings "someday, we'll get it right", you better stick with the Toyota Hybrid.

este cd trae buenos temas; pero a un grandes exitos no se le puede omitir eso... exitos. aqui falta "shame on the moon" y "shakedown", basicos en la discografia de este artista.

REally is greatest.......2007-07-08

My husband, who thought he'd never heard of Bog Seger, love the CD. They
are, of course, some of his favorite songs. He just didn't know the
artist's name.

A return to their former glory days, Snakes and Arrows shows this seminal prog rock band reclaiming some of the sonic territory that they'd lost over the past few years. It's not certain what contributed to this artistic rebirth, but Rush has crafted a historical and emotional odyssey that shows many both where they've been and where they're going--from the baroque soundscapes of "The Main Monkey Business," reminiscent of their earliest work to the seductive almost folkloric urgency of "The Way the Wind Blows," which is as dangerous, anxious, and prophetic as anything that Arcade Fire or Mars Volta is doing currently. Main Lyricist Neil Peart has spent the last decade getting over the death of his wife and daughter, and those tragic events have given his songwriting more depth and gravity as he explores the strengths and limitations of faith in both metaphoric and literal detail. While never didactic or ponderous, this disc is really an instruction manual for how one conducts themselves with grace and hope through unendurable pain and the vagaries of life. Gone is much of the shrillness of their earlier incarnations--Geddy Lee's trademark high pitch shrieks have mellowed considerably and Alex Lifesong's guitar playing has an assurance and freedom that can only come with age. --Jaan Uhelszki

Album Description

Anthem/Atlantic recording group Rush return with its first new collection of original material in nearly five years, entitled "SNAKES & ARROWS." The album was recorded in the fall of 2006 with Gammy Award-winner Nick Raskulinecz (Foo Fighters, Velvet Revolver) and Rush co-producing. "It's hard to describe," Geddy Lee recently told Revolver re: "SNAKES & ARROWS.""It's big, it's bold, and I think it's some of the best work we've done in years. I'm really pleased with the quality ofthe songs, and there's lots of playing on it. " Rush - Lee, Alex Lifeson, and Neil Peart - will trumpet the release of "SNAKES & ARROWS" with a full-scale North American tour, the renowned trio's first since 2004's "An Evening with Rush: 30th Anniversary Tour."

Rush latest, one of the better one's.......2007-08-06

All great songs, love the extra's on this MVI DVD, and the songs sound great in 5.1, can't wait to see the guys live.

Unique format.......2007-08-06

Fantastic format, giving the buyer a unique perspective on the production of the band's latest studio material. The "behind the scenes" video was truly entertaining. One should be cautioned, however, that this format cannot be played in a standard CD player.

how do they keep doing it?!?.......2007-08-05

i've been a huge Rush fan for decades and i wasn't even going to get this new album, as their last couple of albums haven' been particularly inspiring. lucky for me my girlfriend knows how much i like Rush and bought this disc for me on my birthday. THANKS! This is the best Rush has sounded in a veryyyyyy long time. I've seen them several times live in the last couple of years and they never fail to put on a great show, but recent disks were a different story. If you like older Rush or just dig good rock, this is a very satisfying disc. While this is no 2112 and there's no "working man" track on here, strong songs abound. Getty's voice isn't what it used to be, but he uses it well and doesn't strain to try and do what he really can't anymore. Alex Lifeson's guitarwork is back to nice form, nothing fancy but a really nice sound like he did for years and years. Peart's songwriting is particularly refreshing, his strong lyrics have sadly (and understandably) been missing for at least three albums. All and all a very unexpected treat, especially the instrumental pieces. If you're a Rush fan - buy it NOW! If you like rock, give it a listen - there's alot here to appreciate.

A pleasant surprise.......2007-08-05

As a 30-yr Rush fan, I buy everything that these guys put out. Even their worst efforts (Vapor Trails? Hold Your Fire?) are better than 99% of the junk that passes for rock n roll/metal these days. After hearing "A FAR CRY" on the radio, I wasn't too excited about this album, although with the dearth of quality stuff out there today, I was more than willing to buy it rather than download it. I'm glad I did. One of the things that I mark as a great album is if it gets better by the listen, and this does. I read somewhere that one of the pink floyd guys, gilmour, I think, gave Alex some advice to "go acoustic." It was a great suggestion.

I would put the musicianship of Rush up against anyone. With 30 years of consistently putting out quality, they really take 2nd to no one.

Always great from Rush.......2007-08-03

The next great CD from Rush. Now Rush is on the cutting edge of technology by releasing an MVI DVD. The songs come in MP3 and allow you to burn an audio CD or load them directly onto your MP3 player. It also comes with great backgrounds, lyrics and extra features you will love. Not to mention that the new music is great as always. Malignant Narcissism keeps up with the famous Rush instrumentals of the past, with its Bass and Drum solos although at 2:17 is not as long as I would have liked it to be. The spirituality of the songs is blatant but not overpowering to the music and Rush has hit another one out of the park.

Korn fans beware!.......2007-08-03

This is not the normal korn stile of music!

This is a more melodic stile not that different from the later tracks on See You On the Other Side, but sadly there is no heavy song on this CD

Personally I like this side of korn, but those of you who think that "Korn" and "Untouchables" were the best, will be dissappointed if you are expecting another head bashing scream happy CD

Hopefully this will help you before buying.

It's experimental. It's weird. And it's GREAT!.......2007-08-03

I've always favored KoRn's more experimental music over their aggressive, but in the right combination, like on UNTOUCHABLES and TAKE A LOOK IN THE MIRROR, it works quite well. Now I can add this untitled release (really, is it OFFICIALLY called "untitled?") to the above sentence.

Otherworldly effects, strange beats and melodies, more singing and less gibberish - yet underlying it all, a sound that is undeniably KoRn. Much like the warped creatures and beings which haunt the artwork accompanying this album (take THAT, downloaders!), this album is still recognizeable as the KoRn that we "later stuff" lovers have always worshipped.

Fans of "their old stuff" might not like this, but then such people are probably too close-minded to see the doughnut surrounding the hole. This is KoRn at their most experimental to date, and it is a fine release indeed.

The Evolution Of Korn.......2007-08-03

There could be many reasons why Korn left their eight studio album untitled. Could it be that they were short on time and wanted to get this thing out as quickly as possible? Is it supposed to mark a new beginning, with only three original members left and a slew of session musicians rounding out the line-up? Or could it just be due to the fact that "Untitled" is Korn's most ambiguous and experimental album to date? I'll go with the third.

So what's Korn up to this year? Why are they rushing an album out with yet another band member (this time around, it's drummer David Silveria) taken out of the equation? Well, even if it probably was too soon for a new Korn album, it can't be denied that what they have laid down is easily home to the best material they have done since the turn of the century. At some point, we're all going to have to come to terms with the fact that Korn sort of lost it years ago. The delivery by frontman Jonathan Davis has felt forced for quite some years, and the band has either had a fair share of botched experiments or has just been going through the motions. Granted, "Untouchables," "Take A Look In The Mirror" and "See You On The Other Side" are all fine albums, but each fell short of expectations and only assisted in making the band look tired and out of date. With only three members left, who would have guessed they would have turned this thing around? Inviting touring keyboardist Zac Baird into the recording studio, and jamming with the legendary Terry Bozzio and Brooks Wackerman (Bad Religion) on drums, what remains of Korn have turned out their most satisfying album since their creative and commercial pinnacle in the late 90's.

"Untitled" brings to mind the energy and experimentation of the breakthrough album, "Follow The Leader." What the listener expects to hear is completely shattered here. Witness "B----, We Got A Problem," the song "Twisted Transistor" should have been, easily the catchiest and most infectious Korn tune since "Got The Life." Producer Atticus Ross, who worked on the last album, has returned to help Korn beef up their electronic repoitre, and instead of sounding like re-heated Nine Inch Nails, like a good chunk of "See You On The Other Side" sounded, the experiments are more refined and sound more natural here. "Kiss" starts off rather minimally, going down a predictable route, until the three minute mark when the band digs into some late-Beatles psychedelia. Elsewhere, the band stretches it's genre and limitations, as on "Killing," perhaps the thrashiest Korn song ever, and featuring a death metal inspired bridge, without sounding cheesy or forced. Along with experimentation, we are treated to Jonathan's most honest and emotional delivery in a long time. "Starting Over" and "I Will Protect You" (arguably the best song on the album, which truly shows off the work of Bozzio) both revolve around Jonathan's new obsession with death and leaving his loved ones behind, and it's a powerful message that goes beyond the usual angsty fodder of Korn's past, as something everyone can relate to.

Now, to be honest and fair, this is not a perfect album. Had they shortened it down to only ten songs and left off what didn't work, they'd have yielded better results. "Do What They Say" and "Innocent Bystander" are two songs that just don't work and only serve to slow down the progression of the album. What could have been two of the best songs on the album -- "Ever Be" and "Love & Luxury" -- are marred by their tired lyrical content, focusing on ex-guitarist Brian "Head" Welch and his beliefs. This is really something they should have gotten out of their system on "See You On The Other Side," and only makes it seem like they are running out of ideas and things to say. Regardless of the few flaws, it's still one of the most dynamic and intriguing entries in the Korn catalogue. Korn purists might find it difficult to swallow, but the fan who wants more from their band might walk away happy. It's just too bad that they couldn't work it out with Terry Bozzio, who really pushes this album to the level it's at. More Korn & Bozzio would be a great thing. If you're picking up the deluxe edition, you'll get a DVD that documents the making of the album quite well, and shows off just how insane Bozzio's methods are, and gives a bit of insight into the why's and how's of the album. Also, you get a coupon for a free shirt, a fold-out poster, and individual cards featuring high concept art of Jonathan, Munky and Fieldy. Aside from the DVD, it's all really just fluff, but it's worth it for the glimpse inside the studio for this one.

wow i hate amazon.......2007-08-02

well here it is i think this album rocks being a huge fan i guess i would but it really is likeable. second i HATE AMAZON! i preordered this album and look two days later i still dont have it. i had to download it because i couldent wait for amazon to send it. that off my chest back to the review the album has this really trippy sound wich i like some lyrics are very catchy overall i fell this album has a much better lasting appeal that syotos. favorite tracks evolution, [...] we got a problem,killing, and innocent bystander. ive been with korn since day one and will continue to truge the long haul! GOOOO KORN!

Korn's new sound is authentic and here to stay.......2007-08-01

It gets a little old hearing people comparing Korn's new music to their old stuff. Korn have said that in losing 2 members (only 1 perminant), they have changed as a band and in this the music they create. I have been a Korn fan for 10 years now and I have never been disappointed, and I can say this with "Untitled." This new sound is heavier than 2005's See You on the Other Side and resembles 2002's Untouchables. I can listen to this entire album with only skipping one track (Do What They Say). It isn't a horible song, I just don't care for it. Overall, if you are a Korn fan pick this Limited Edition up if you can (it is sold out in most retail stores). Die hard Korn fans should love this album and I cannot wait to see these guys in Orlando.

Latin for "common era," Era Vulgaris holds a pair of common threads with the four Queens of the Stone Age records that preceded it. One, it crosses colossal guitar chords with the most volatile of hard rock melodies. And second, it's as LOUD as loud gets, thanks to Josh Homme, the impatient instigator behind the ever-evolving cast of personalities that make up the band. Detonation comes with track one, as the jagged riffs of "Turning on the Screw" lead the listener into "Sick, Sick, Sick," where Julian Casablancas spews his vocals beneath a wall of multi-guitar catcalls. Although the head Stroke will likely garner the most attention, perpetual Queener Mark Lanegan's velvety pipes earmark two of Era's most booming selections: the funky "Make It Wit Chu" (complete with Temptations-like backing vocals) and the heart-racing three minutes of "River in the Road." Add the garage rock of Homme's "3's & 7's" and "Suture Up Your Future," easy pickings for most likely crossover hit, and Era Vulgaris-- hypnotically and explosively common--holds its own with any in the QoTSA discography. --Scott Holter

Customer Reviews:

Era Vulgaris.......2007-07-29

Like most of their albums it took a few listens for me to fully enjoy it. Now this isnt their best effort but its still good. It just didnt hit as hard as their other albums did. It reminds me of Lullabies just because of the fact that it took awhile for me to get into it. If you have never listened to them then I suggest Songs for the Deaf, Rated R, or their Self-titled before this one. If you have those then Id say buy this.

Different style but still awesome.......2007-07-28

This CD is awesome, as are all QOTSA cds, but definitely different. I can't believe it is getting bad reviews because it is a different style, just give it a chance, it takes a few listens to get used to it, but it gets better with each listen. People apparently just wanted this cd to sound exactly like earlier QOTSA releases, but that's one thing I love about QOTSA, is the fact that all the CDs sound different.

So just give it a chance, listen to it more than one time before you decide you hate it. I love this CD, and if you're a QOTSA fan, you probably will too.

Wonderful.......2007-07-26

Queens of the Stone Age is nothing if not consistent when it comes to their musical style (their lineup is a different story all together). From the minute that "Era Vulgaris" kicks in, you know what you're in for, and you get it in spades. Incredibly catchy, somewhat gritty quality, and a just plain groovy mood that gets orchestrated throughout the album's eleven tracks. Witness opener "Turnin' on the Screw" which bleeds into rip-roarers like "Sick, Sick, Sick", "Misfit Love", "Make It Wit Chu", "3's & 7's", the instantly memorable and catchy "Suture Up Your Future", and the excellent closer "Run, Pig, Run". There's not really anything here on "Era Vulgaris" that you haven't heard before from Josh Homme and co., but if you're a longtime fan of the band, this isn't a bad thing one bit. As far as providing more than solid and inventive rock, "Era Vulgaris" delivers in all departments, and is yet again another wonderful entry in what is a very impressive and underrated discography. All in all, whether you're a Queens of the Stone Age fan new or old, "Era Vulgaris" won't disappoint.

Queens of the Stone Age.......2007-07-24

The cd sucked so bad. I can't believe they even put this out. It is no lullaby!!!

A New Era For Queens.......2007-07-21

I've listened to the cd 5 full times and these boys are all over the map.
The biggest thing lacking is the drive on all but one song (sick,sick,sick). The rest is a jumble of misc. garbage. Not worth the price or time and makes lullabies sound like a 5 star album. Maybe the loss of Nick Oliveri is catching up with the band in the song writing department on the second release since his firing.

Great Album.......2007-07-23

I always enjoyed the Journey song "I Believe". I purchased this album mostly for this song. The rest of the album is great also.

Living in the 80's again.......2007-07-13

This is a fabulous album of Journey's greatest hits and cannot figure out why I didn't have this album already, in my collection, because I like Steve's singing so much. When I heard it at the end of the Soprano's it brought back nice memories.

It's the Journey, not the destination.......2007-07-12

Once Steve Perry joined Journey for the "Infinity" album, the band's course was inevitably reset. They changed direction from being a progressive rock band to an arena rock juggernaut. Perry's main contribution was a strong melodic sense coupled to his more soulful vocals. The hits started almost immediately, as "Lights" and "Wheel In The Sky" became FM Rock Radio staples.

That is what this greatest hits focuses on, the songs that became the standards by which the public remembers the band. If you were interested in the albums BEFORE "Infinity," I suggest "Time 3," which adds material from the years when Neal Schon was still aping his jazz-Rock tenure with Santana and Gregg Rollie was doing standard rock keyboard boogie. Personally, I liked them better when Perry got on board. The sound focused and the songwriting tightened. Songs like "Separate Ways/Worlds Apart" and "Any Way You Want It" could add a jolt of adrenaline to a day of radio. When Jonathan Cain replaced Gregg Rollie on "Escape," Journey took on a romantic bent from Cain's songwriting. "Open Arms" came first, then "Faithfully" (on "Frontiers") solidified it. These were pop radio songs without peer, and they make Journey's "Greatest Hits" an essential document of 70's and 80's radio rock. (The updated version includes the best song from the 90's reunion "Trial by Fire," "When You Love A Woman.")

The other reason you might be looking at this is not because of Steve Perry's voice or Neal Schon's guitar heroics, but because of Tony and Carmella. It was Journey's "Don't Stop Believing" that echoed out of the final minutes of "The Sopranos" closing episode. It was funny that Tony passed over Tony Bennett and Frank Sinatra for Journey and inspire a million parodies in the process. (Including Hilary Clinton...where the best moment is when she and President Bill Clinton are flipping through songs and Bill says "My money's on Smash Mouth...") Talk about cementing your place in pop culture...who could have asked for better?

This best of offers a pair of soundtrack rarities in "Only The Young" (from "Vision Quest") and "Ask The Lonely" (from "Two of a Kind"). Missing are a few crucial singles like "Suzanne," "Stone In Love" and "Walks Like A Lady." If you really want them, go for the box sets or individual CD's.

Complete.......2007-07-09

This is how you do a greatest hits collection. You put ALL of them on there. Not a mix of half greats, and half "other", then release the rest on another "greatest hits" CD.

Get the Infinity album too........2007-07-07

Unfortunately, it does not include my favorite song tandem Feeling That Way/ Anytime. For that you need to buy The Infinity album. It does include some great songs, a good mix of rockers and ballads. Definitely worth the price to anyone who loves classic rock and roll or was a teen in the late '70s. But do yourself a favor and get the Infinity album too.
