At the height of their 2004 "Save a Horse (Ride a Cowboy)" fame, Big & Rich's one lament was that radio didn't know what to do with them, even though they sold two million copies of their debut album, Horse of a Different Color. Their follow-up, 2005's Comin' to Your City, likewise failed to score a Top 10 single, but still went platinum. Now comes their third album, and their first single, "Lost in This Moment"--an overtly emotional ballad about getting hitched--is selling like Gatorade at a chili cook-off. Are Music City's most likeable lunatics playing it safe? Well, it sounds that way. And if that's a disappointment, given their initial rollicking (and much needed) assault on staid Nashville, there's more bad news. Big Kenny's loopy songs of peace, love, and hippified unity (especially the overblown "Eternity," featuring John Legend) now sound so familiar, replete with Pentecostal blathering ("Brothers and sisters..."), you can sing along the first time you hear them. The duo sequences the album like a vinyl disc of old, with a virtual A-side (ballads) and B-side (rockers). Not surprising, the B-side wins, even if "Radio" owes too much to the self-aggrandizing hullabaloo of Comin' to Your City and Wyclef Jean drops by to rap a few country clichés. It takes an awfully long time for this album to be fun, but it eventually does, with an AC/DC cover ("You Shook Me All Night Long") and a Brooks & Dunnish turbo-tonker ("Loud"). Fans of Big & Rich already understand that they take their spirituality as seriously as their sinning. But next time, here's hoping they spend more time in Saturday night, and less in Sunday morning. --Alanna NashAlbum Description
On their third album, Big & Rich bust down the doors of country music with new sounds, new energy and new audiences. The title Between Raising Hell and Amazing Grace describes not only this collection but also Big & Rich themselves. Thank heaven for Big & Rich!Customer Reviews:

Bad Religion has for years been considered by new crops of listeners to be a vital band because they're such OG hardcore kingpins. And while the band's justly revered--they've managed to stay together for almost 25 years, all while getting better and growing their audience--"political punk realness" is not where their strengths lie. As to their political numbers, they were never quite able to pen the sort of personal yet timeless anthems that the Minutemen or the Ex did, while in terms of 1-2-3-4 punch, you'd get far more visceral thrills from the first Damned single. Of course, Southern California punk bands injected bushels of melody and hooks into their songs, and B.R. added elements of metal and even psychedelia to their own taut tunes. Their fourteenth album to date, New Maps is a terrific sounding record; at least two-thirds of it begs many repeated listens. The album's second single, "Heroes and Martyrs," is exactly what the band does best. A tightly-coiled and super revved-up anthem, it pits the energy and fast Barre chord sound of the greatest hardcore with a delicious, poppy production and doubled-up backing vocals that brings to mind Queen (or at least Queens of the Stone Age), in the very best way. --Mike McGonigalAlbum Description
In a world ruled increasingly by superstition and intolerance, Bad Religion's rousing wall-of-sound punk seems about as necessary now as ever before. It is the impassioned sound of reason, anthems of a bittersweet idealism and a guarded hope set to propulsive guitars and charging drumbeats. And while most groups with even half the artistic output have long ago morphed into stylistic self-parody, Bad Religion is currently surging forward with a renewed creative intensity. Their fourteenth album is both a nod to the band's defiant past and an undeniable step forward in the evolution of a genre they helped to define. Look for them on this summer's Warped Tour, inspiring a new generation of fans.Customer Reviews:
still alive.......2007-08-07
Overall, great CD, I did like Empire a tad more but I might change my mind in a few weeks.
The mix, yes, very unusual, yes, we would like to have the vocals float above the music just like we are used to from the "old" albums. but luckily there is a solution. . . Play it LOUD!!!! Honestly, it helps.

Welcome to the new dark ages.......2007-07-29
1. 52 Seconds: 5/10; It's actually 56 seconds, and it rocks, but it's hard to hear the words, and they aren't that good anyway. It's really one of those pointless openers.
2. Heroes & Martyrs: 6/10; It's really hard to hear the vocals on this song. The production for the whole album is kind of ugly, but this song is probably the worst offender.
3. Germs of Perfection: 7/10; It's an okay song, but like the whole album, the lyrics just aren't up to the usual Bad Religion standards.
4. New Dark Ages: 9/10; This is possibly the best song on the album, and the closest thing to a title track. Still, they clearly reused riffs from "Atheist Peace" and "All There Is" from their last album.
5. Requiem for Dissent: 8/10; The gang vocals are a nice touch.
6. Before You Die: 8/10; This song is starting to grow on me, but again, the lyrics are kind of lame.
7. Honest Goodbye: 8/10; A little experimentation here, but it's a welcome change of pace and content.
8. Dearly Beloved: 6/10; Poor production on this song.
9. Grains of Wrath: 7/10; It almost has a good message, something like Soul Asylum's "Black Gold," but this song is a little too short and ambiguous.
10. Murder: 4/10; This song should be called "Bad Ape," but it's just filler anyway.
11. Scrutiny: 9/10; It's a dead ringer for "Atheist Peace," but it's still a good song.
12. Prodigal Son: 5/10; For one of the longer songs on the album, this is really disappointing. I thought it was going to be about Bush.
13. The Grand Delusion: 4/10; So it's come to this: They're parodying titles of Styx songs. This is one of the worst songs on the album.
14. The Lost Pilgrim: 6/10; This song had the potential to be a lot better.
15. Submission Complete: 6/10; This must be one of the lectures Graffin gives his students. The concept is good, but the lyrics just don't work.
16. Fields of Mars: 9/10; As usual, Bad Religion at least manages to close the album well. The piano is a nice touch. Still, this song is missing something, and it sounds a lot like "Live Again (the Fall of Man)."
17. Sorrow (Acoustic Version): 8/10; It's a good song, but it was already kind of poppy before being acousticized. On the plus side, those annoying gunshots are gone.
18. God Song (Acoustic Version): 10+/10; The reason you should buy the Japanese version. As good as the version on "Against the Grain" is, this version is better.
In general, there aren't any really awful tracks on here. The album just has three huge problems.
1. The music drowns out the vocals on many songs. Look, I'm no producer, but I think you would turn up Greg's vocals so he's at least somewhat coherent on the verses for "Heroes & Martyrs" and "Dearly Beloved."
2. A lot of recycled riffs from the last album, which is nothing new for Bad Religion, but still, they really overdo it here.
3. The lyrics! Some songs make me question if this is really Greg Graffin. There's really not one single poetically coherent (no, that's not an oxymoron) song on here.
I think this album will go down as one of Bad Religion's worst. It's almost like a reversion, like what Metallica tried to do with "St. Anger." Songs like "Eat Your Dog," "Oligarchy," and "World War III" wouldn't be entirely out of place on "New Maps of Hell."
Also, on a personal note, to everybody who bashes "The New America," it's actually one of Bad Religion's best albums. The music is good, the range of content is superior to any other Bad Religion album, and the lyrics are brilliant. The only reason you don't like them is because they're optimistic (hey, 2000 was a pretty good year until the end). "New Maps of Hell" is kind of an anti-"The New America."

What Highway to Hell has that Back in Black doesn't is Bon Scott, AC/DC's original lead singer who died just months after this album was released. Scott had a rusty, raspy, scream of a voice, like he might break into a coughing fit at any moment. In other words, on crunchy, hook-heavy metal classics like the title track, and on "Get It Hot" which is more roadhouse rock than metal, he had the perfect instrument for such wild-living anthems. Too perfect, it turned out. --David CantwellAlbum Description

East Tennessee singer-songwriter Rodney Atkins scored a chart-topper with the title track of this second release, reframing the Irish drinking toast ("May you be in heaven five minutes before the devil knows you're dead") in a modern context and tying it all up in a Celtic/banjo wrapping fit for Keith Urban. It's a solid effort, and performed with unusual aplomb for a newcomer. But as the rest of the album shows, Atkins seems torn between being a thoughtful, poetic craftsman ("Angel's Hands," "Invisibly Shaken," "A Man on a Tractor") and a hero for redneck simpletons. On the opening "These Are My People," he works the family-values-and-small-town stereotypes to death, continuing with "About the South," a Charlie-Daniels-as-God number on which he's backed by an irritating group of chorines that sound suspiciously like the Hee Haw Hunnies. Which path will Atkins ultimately choose, NPR or Wal-Mart? His second single, "Watching You"--a doing-everything-like-Daddy paean--probably tells the tale. --Alanna NashCustomer Reviews:

Indeed, there were many who thought that it would take an event as cataclysmic as the one described in the album title to get these seminal '70s soft-rockers back together. But here they are, revisiting some of their most beloved tunes as well as four new ones, on this mostly live, largely acoustic disc. Frey, Henley, Walsh, Schmit, and Felder tackle iconic Eagles standards like "Hotel California," "Tequila Sunrise," "Take It Easy," "Desperado," and "Life in the Fast Lane" and new tunes like "Get Over It" and "Love Will Keep Us Alive" with the smoothly cocky assurance that originally made them icons. --Scott SchinderCustomer Reviews:

circa 1982). Well, as we all know the Eagles did get back together in 1994 (recording 4 new songs), but twelve years later they still haven't released a new album. All we've been given, since they reformed, is a total of 7 new songs, two of which are only available on a live dvd, and one they didn't even write themselves (the mediocre "Love Will Keep Us Alive"). The only worthwhile contributions have been the country song "The Girl From Yesterday" and the country-ish "No More Cloudy Days" (dvd), both written by Glenn Frey. Come on, Glenn, quit these deadbeats and go to Nashville - record that wonderful country album you were always meant to do!

Bat out of Hell

Amazon.com
Overwrought and undeniable, Meat Loaf's Bat out of Hell remains both one of rock's biggest--and least likely--hit albums. The byproduct of a partnership between beefy singer Marvin Lee "Meat Loaf" Aday and fellow journeyman/National Lampoon Road Show cast member Jim Steinman, Bat out of Hell met 1977's vaunted Year of Punk with a blast of neo-operatic, Wagnerian-scaled bombast (based on Peter Pan, no less) that was as reactionary as anything the spiked set and their supporters could possibly imagine--13 million units worth, and counting. Bat seems to have thrived on the same formula that's made Andrew Lloyd Webber a multimillionaire knight: if you do kitsch, do it big. And what could be more kitschy and emblematic of the '70s than the ubiquitous "classic rock" (an overused adjective that applies all too well here) of "Two out of Three Ain't Bad" or the breathless nookie-quest, "Paradise by the Dashboard Light," replete with Phil Rizzuto calling the play-by-play? This digitally remastered edition also includes '78-vintage bonus live cuts of "Bolero" (the live show's equally over-the-top opener) and "Bat out of Hell" that showcase the production's energetic, perfectionist bent. The sonic upgrading here also underscores the oft-overlooked efforts of producer Todd Rundgren. --Jerry McCulleyCustomer Reviews:
still flying north like a bat out of hell.......2007-08-04
The CD track set begins with the title track, "Bat Out Of Hell." The strong intro really rocks hard--love those guitars! Meat Loaf sings this as if it were easy--even though of course we know it really isn't. Meat Loaf's voice is full of energy and masculine warmth. "Bat Out Of Hell" explores the desire to remain in a relationship even though he has some ambivalence about his girlfriend. The tempo is just right and the melody sports a dramatic quality to it that truly makes "Bat Out Of Hell" a masterpiece. Good backup vocals, too.
"You Took The Words Right Out Of My Mouth (Hot Summer Night)" opens with a great dialogue about a boy who wants to spend romantic time with his girlfriend--and when she accepts he's rather happy about it even if all he says is "I bet you say that to all the boys." The music starts immediately and Meat Loaf takes charge of this song about two young kids who are lusting for each other without much patience! The backup chorus creates a heavenly effect that works well against the purely primal desire for romance with someone you find attractive. The guitars work well and the percussion bolsters this hard rockin' number, too!
"All Revved Up With Nowhere To Go" explores teenage angst; a young man wants to romance a young woman and maybe even have a relationship with her but he just can't quite get up the nerve to approach her. The lyrics don't tell us if she has anyone else in her life--it wouldn't matter to this boy. He just wants her alone with him. The melody rocks and has a distinctly poignant flavor to it that reflects pure genius on the part of Jim Steinman who wrote this song. Again, Meat Loaf uses a great backup chorus at times to enhance the number. "All Revved Up With Nowhere To Go" is definitely a rock opera type of ballad.
"Two Out Of Three Ain't Bad" is my favorite song on this album; Meat Loaf sings the story of a love affair gone awry. Sure, his woman wants him to love her--but her love goes unrequited. In fact, he's "crying icicles instead of tears" because of there is no warmth and true love in their relationship. The lines "Don't be sad/'Cause two out of three ain't bad" are incredibly meaningful--factual, heartless and sarcastic all at once; he tells his woman that he can never love her--at least not anymore. The backup vocals shine and the melody stays strong for this song about deep angst and sorrow.
Yet another masterpiece on the very same album would be the encapsulated rock opera story told in the song "Paradise By The Dashboard Light." The young man really wants to be romantic with his girlfriend--who makes him promise her that he'll always love her. Of course, this doesn't hold up over time. However, what makes this song a classic is not so much the story but rather how the story is presented. The song rocks with an optimistic flavor leading up to the girlfriend's allowing her man to be romantic with her. The story is told in flashback as the young man eventually laments the fact that he did promise his love to her. He remains stuck with this young woman forever; and boy, does he come to regret his promise! Great background vocals include the voice of former Yankee shortstop Phil "Scooter" Rizzuto talking about their romantic encounter as if the young man were a baseball player trying to score a home run!
The CD ends with two bonus tracks that were previously unreleased: "Great Boleros Of Fire" and "Bat Out Of Hell." "Great Boleros Of Fire" has a beautiful intro with the piano in the background as Meat Loaf sings. The song's intensity increases as it moves along. "Bat Out Of Hell" is a live track from a Meat Loaf concert in 1978. The song starts with a Wagnerian feel complete with minor chords on the piano; and the guitars rock great, too! There's an incredible opening musical flourish and when Meat Loaf comes in this number takes off--just like a bat out of hell! The live track of "Bat Out Of hell" provides a strong ending for this album.
The liner notes include great photos of Meat Loaf and the lyrics to each song. The artwork reflects good judgment.
Meat Loaf and this classic album remain very popular because of how this album deals with universally important topics regarding love, sorrow, and teenage angst. I highly recommend this for Meat Loaf fans and fans of classic rock.

Ultimate Loaf.......2007-03-11
"Bat I" is without a doubt the finest of the three "Bat" albums, achieving much more than its predecessors in 25 less minutes. It was completely plugged into the melodramatic teenage energy that presumably set Steinman on this path in the first place, and that is why it continues to rock new listeners.

The long-awaited third record in the Bat Out of Hell trilogy, The Monster Is Loose, wears bombast, pretension, and pyrotechnics proudly on its album sleeve and across the bulging disc's 14 tracks. More a pop orchestral mishmash than a well-defined rock opus, Bat III is dark, seemingly hopeless at times, and über dramatic. Oddly enough, that's also its saving grace. Meat Loaf and company create a great escape into the realm of grand theatricality, with a bunch of radio-friendly rock tunes that sound 20 years old, and several lyrically memorable AOR ballads to sustain it all the way to Broadway. With collaborator (and occasional defendant in Meat Loaf lawsuits) Jim Steinman, producers Desmond Child and Todd Rundgren, the Meat man consistently has the big sound booming and his despair and his rage on to the point that listeners may feel his pain a little too often. Bat III ain't for sissies. Balanced by the powerful female voices of Marion Raven, Patti Russo, and Jennifer Hudson; along with guest musicians and songwriting help from Steve Vai, Marilyn Manson's John 5, Motley Crue's Nikki Sixx, Queen's Brian May, and others; Meat Loaf's Monster has roared the unlikely rock star back to life like a bat out of Baghdad. --Martin Keller

An Album for All Occasions.......2007-07-11
I can tell that this is a great CD to enjoy. His collection of opera-rock tunes (like "The Monster Is Loose", "Alive", "In the Land of the Pig, The Butcher is King") blended with some soulful and touchy ballads ("It's All Coming Back to Me", "Cry Over Me" and "Seize the Night") sounds very good and decent, a perfect choice for any type of mood, just like any of the previous albums from the "Bat Out of Hell" trilogy.
Comparing this with his previous albums, one can realize that although the music and the production has changed a bit, the style and the intent was to keep the exact formula that made the previous editions to be so successful as they were.
buena sorpresa.......2007-07-06
Lame bat.......2007-06-16
Stay clear of this one. It's got no soul. So it is of no importance.
And stay clear of Meatloaf live to, he's lost it somewhere in the last 5 years. I saw him twice and he utterly disappointed me. He should just retire his singing career and concentrate on acting.

The idea of Black Sabbath without Ozzy Osbourne was a form of metal sacrilege in 1980, at least until people heard Ronnie James Dio belt out "Oh no, here it comes again..." to open the reformed band's Heaven and Hell. Dio's low-growl had a yowl, squaring frightfully with Tony Iommi's more reined-in crunch. And Sabbath was reborn, playing faster than they had with Ozzy and drawing crowds. Five tracks from Heaven make it to this set, where four from successor, Mob Rules, show up. The winners from each: "Neon Nights" and "Turn Up the Night," both quick, hefty wailers, steamrolling on sheer riffing tonnage. Dehumanizer rekindled the Sabbath/Dio marriage in 1992, showing speed metal's intervening influence--and the band holds up well, racing atop Vinnie Appice's iron-armed drums and Iommi's relentless, intentionally range-limited riffs. Then there are the three new tracks, all benefiting from 2006's richer low-end production and metal's return to a slower grind--where Iommi is more thrilling doling out sludge, as on "Shadow of the Wind," where chords sound slo-mo and blessedly narrow in range. Yes, "Ear on the Wall" closes the set in a hurried, fast- (not speed-) metal vibe, but at best the band is deliberately mid-tempo, making a raucous noise you're happy for after all these years. --Andrew BartlettAlbum Description
Honoring the time Ronnie Dio spent with the band, Black Sabbath's hits "Neon Knights," "Lady Evil," and "Die Young" are featured on this compilation spanning 1980-2006. David Ling contributes liner notes and live versions of "Children of the Sea" and "Country Girl" are showcased.Customer Reviews:

this CD, I can't really tell you about it that much, but I do have most
of the tracks on this set minus the three new ones.
Here is a list of tracks which should've been included, but were excluded
due to time constraints, and the fact that this sampling of the Dio era
of Sabbath is presented on only a single disc:
Children of the sea (studio version from HEAVEN & HELL)
Wishing Well
Sign of the southern cross
Country Girl (MOB RULES)
Computer God
Time Machine
Too Late
Master of Insanity
Letters From Earth (alternate mix) (DEHUMANIZER)

Heaven and Hell (LIVE VERSION WITH DIO's RANT)
Slipping Away (LIVE W. DRUM SOLO)(LIVE AT HAMMERSMITH ODEON)
I don't think I'm gonna get this one, even if I can find it used.
However, I own the Re-mastered Editions of the three Sabbath/Dio albums
from the 1980's, as well as DEHUMANIZER (1992). ... And I'm
waiting for the new Live album "Live from Radio City Music Hall" by
the Heaven & Hell Project (Iommi + Dio + Butler + Appice), which will hit the shelves on August 28th, 2007.

Don't have the time (or the props) to watch the whole movie? Just put on the soundtrack--it's got all the best parts without the dialog in-between! Well, isn't that what an Original Soundtrack Recording like this is supposed to be? Back in the mid-70s when The Rocky Horror Picture Show was a midnight staple at countless movie theaters, Tim Curry wasn't yet "Tim Curry" and Susan Sarandon wasn't yet "Susan Sarandon" (hell, Barry Bostwick wasn't even "Barry Bostwick"!). Listening to these science-fiction double-feature showtunes will take you back through a time warp to the days when the now-Academy-Award-winning actress was perfectly willing to stand around for most of a picture in her bra and panties--and so would her boyfriend! In those days, they were just Brad and Janet, forced to spend a dark and stormy (also sexy) night in the haunted house of mad scientist Frank N. Furter--just a sweet transvestite from transsexual Transylvania-ha-ha who really knew how to belt out a song. Those were the days. --Jim EmersonCustomer Reviews:

The basic premise of the movie is that it's a send-up of all the classic 1950s horror films, complete with a mad scientist creating his own monster, and the sweet innocent couple who bumble their way into this all. Toss in the wild 70s style free-love, space aliens, cross dressing and some truly classic lines, and you can see why this has become the favorite of many people.
Just about every song in here is one that you have great fun singing along with. The lyrics are great. The vocals are great. Tim Curry really has a fantastic voice that you have to hear to believe. You not only want to sing along with the songs, but get up and dance too! Then you have the sweet, harmonious songs too, the ones that really connect with your soul.
It definitely helps to see the movie a few times, to understand the great visuals that go along with the song - but once you've got that down, play the CD in your car, while you do your chores, or while you're getting work done! It makes the time fly by, and leaves you upbeat and enjoying life.
