Put together by Abba's own Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus, Mamma Mia! manages to cram over 20 of the Swedish supergroup's songs into a threadbare plot. It goes a little like this: Young Sophie is getting married and she's trying to identify which of three men is her father. That's about it. Wisely, the musical doesn't mess around with the songs, save for the insertion of some dialogue or for having some of them performed by a man (it works amazingly well). Abba fans will jump on this import of the London production, but traditional fans of musical theater should consider it as well. After all, Andersson and Ulvaeus's songs have always felt as if they were more than isolated pop gems and actually belonged to a longer narrative. --Elisabeth Vincentelli

Mamma Mia.......2007-03-22

I have not stopped playing this cd. It is just great! It makes any trip in my car most enjoyable Happy I bought it!

Mamma Mia Musical CD.......2007-03-21

This is a grand list of songs from the original musical when it was first introduced in England. The songs from ABBA are very recognizable even if you haven't seen the show. But, making a trip to NY to see the Broadway production is a plus. ENJOY!

JUST GREAT MUSIC.......2007-03-08

I RECENTLY SAW THE SHOW MAMMA MIA IN LAS VEGAS. ALWAYS LIKES THE MUSIC OF ABBA, AND THOUGH THE PLOT WAS THIN, THE MUSIC WAS WELL PERFORMED. IN THIS PARTICULAR ALBUM, THE ENGLISH ACCENTS WERE A BIT MUCH, BUT THE SONGS WERE GREAT. ALL I CAN SAY IS THANK YOU FOR THE MUSIC, ABBA.

Mamma Mia.......2007-01-29

Every time I hear the music and songs it brings back memories of seeing the Broadway Show

Not good at all.......2007-01-09

This is not what we wanted. The British accents throw it was off. We just saw it in NY and this is not what we were looking for.

"Reflections Of My Life" and yours too! Enjoy! .......2007-07-03

As the author of the Jefferson Airplane book "Take Me To A Circus Tent" and a former radio disc-jockey, I am often asked to write and or discuss various recordings from the 60's and 70's.

Volume 2 tries to equal the predecessor. While Volume 1 has better consistency, there are enough essential tracks here. Spirit In The Sky - Norman Greenbaum is still getting airplay today not only on the oldies stations but on classic rock. Reflections Of My Life - The Marmalade with some of the most intense lyrics ever presents a song of both beauty and articulation.

"Hitchin' A Ride"- Vanity Fare is an example of the great days of Top 40. There would be a plethora of memorable tunes that we would call on decades later.

As you give each of the twelve songs a listen see if it brings you back to a specific event or time in your life. Excluding the CD not being filled to capacity, you'll LOVE THE 70's!

Enjoy the music and be well,
Craig Fenton

Tony Burrows Correction.......2006-12-07

All in all a great anthology. Minor correction on the Tony Burrows comments; he had nothing to do with Hitching A Ride (by Vanity Faire). However, he was also the lead vocalist on Beach Baby (First Class) and My Baby Loves Lovin' (White Plains).

One Hit Wonders? I Don't Think So!.......2005-12-11

All good songs on the CD! As for them being AM Radio tunes, thats where Top 40 was located. Many cars did not even have FM mono radios in them yet by 1972! Also nice to know, Tracks 1, 8, 9 and 10 are ALL sung by the same artist. I believe his name was Tony Burrows & he was from Great Britain. He also had a hit with a little novelty tune titled "Gimmie Dat Ding".

This Is A Very Good Volume Of The Have A Nice Day Series !.......2005-09-16

This Volume 2 of the Have A Nice Day series is another nice trip down memory lane and to me it is definately the co-star of the series with Volume 1 being the other. Every song on this Volume 2 peaked in 1970 and I previously owned most of these songs either on Vinyl or tape back in the day and it is great to hear them once again. Vanity Fare's Top Five Smash, Hitchin A Ride, and The Poppy Family's, Which Way You Goin Billy, have always been all-time favorites of mine along with the # 1 hit, Everything Is Beautiful, by the great Ray Stevens and the Top 15 smash, United We Stand, by The Brotherhood Of Man. Everything Is Beautiful, and, United We Stand, are songs of Love, Peace, Hope, Beauty and Unity and they still touch me when I listen to them. Both have very Powerful Lyrics and they Stand Tall even today. Every song on this Volume from the first which is Edision Lighthouse's, Love Grows ( Where My Rosemary Goes ), to the last which is Robin McNamara's, Lay A Little Lovin On Me, is great.
Final Note; As good as a lot of the music is today; these tunes of long ago are still very special to me. Like all Rhino compilations this CD sounds great and evidently this Volume 2 is out of print and starting to become rare.....Why?.....I don't know because I still think it is one of the two best of the series !.....Highly Recommended

Who Cares?.......2005-04-03

Not total garbage but mostly one hit wonders that were really light weight AM radio fare when they were first released. Who knows some of these songs will probably end up in a Tarantino movie I suppose and then they will be cool...

Not as good as I hoped.......2006-08-21

I was excited to get this CD but unfortunately the songs are too short- a fact I overlooked as I like to 'get on in' to my classic grooves, and I don't play it much at all.

Disappointed.......2005-08-31

Having very carefully chosen this CD based on my own memory of the tunes, the music sampler available and, most importantly, comments from other reviewers, it transpires that only 3/20 tracks are more than 4 minutes long. Majority of the tracks are between 3-4 minutes long. Not what I would term as 'Super Rare Disco' at all. Rare Disco is surely the full length 12 inch mixes that would have been played in the clubs, as opposed to radio edits!!! Yes, I realised there were 20 tracks in total on this CD...but not one of the previous reviwers stated all 20 tracks were on just ONE CD, nor the fact that majority of the tracks were radio edits. Shame, as majority of the tracks themselves are very good. Disappointed.

worth buying.......2005-01-13

Super Rare Disco, Vol. 2, is a definite must have for anyone looking for authentic disco classics. Although not every track is great the majority are, and one doesn't have to hunt around buying a lot of CD's for one track. It's worth the investment.

SUPER RARE DISCO, Vol. 1 & 2.......2004-04-19

One of the best collections of 1970's hustle music. As a former New Yorker, I still own hundreds of hustle 45's and 12-inch dance records from the 70's and wanted to get the same songs on CDs. This collection of 40 hard-to-find disco songs (on Volume 1 & 2) is great. I liked Volume 2 slightly better than Volume 1, but both are excellent. Even the liner notes are incredibly well-written by a New Yorker who really appreciates classic disco music and who lived through the NY dance club scene in the 70's.

Excellent Collection!.......2004-02-09

If you are a disco fan that has "The Disco Box" and/or "The Disco Years, Vol. 1-7" and are looking for something different, then look no further then this collection along with volume 1. It's a great supplement with the well-known mainstream artists. The packaging is superb: entertaining liner notes along with song credits and chart positions. Highly recommended along with volume 1.

this cd sucks........2003-12-09

I bought this cd for my karaoke party. I immediatly returned it after finding my children singing the 'thong song' to their grandparents. That song has the 'n' word in it! I will never buy from this company again. I find them racist.

Not for kids.......2003-06-01

This CD has several of the popular kid songs, which is why I bought it for my 10 year old. It also has a couple of songs that are not appropriate for kids including "Thong Song" which contains the "N" word.

Good, but not as good as Sound Choice.......2002-12-22

Sybersound scores big with this, the second volume on the hot hits series from Party Tyme. Not many errors were found on this CD, and the background vocals do the song recreations justice.

However, this CDG also tells us that Sybersound has some more ground to cover before it can join karaoke giant Sound Choice, who has mastered the karaoke CDG market, at the top of the pack. The music found are not recreated with as much precision and as much perfection as SC has had, and sometimes, background vocals don't show up where they should ("Higher" is a prime example in this). Sybersound's only two advatages over Sound Choice is that they are easier to be found, and they are cheaper to buy than SC's CD-G's are.

Flaws notwithstanding, this is a cheap way to get some fun, and possibly learn how to sing. Just don't expect this to be found in a major karaoke bar anytime soon.

Pretty good teen music.......2002-11-10

I must rate the Party Tyme series much lower, however. It appears that synthsizers and drum machines work pretty good for the teen music, but not the songs that count on real guitar. I WILL say that their country music Karaoke CDs seem to have more real guitar than the pop, oldies, etc.

Vivacious.......2006-12-20

I do think that possessing a fondness for the film helps (of which so many here have expressed), but by no means is it necessary. If anything, I find the seldom, more reflective, somber moments ("Mi Otra Mitad de Naranja") to capture the film's oft-haunting imagery to beautiful effect. The rest of the score, in my case, doesn't work as an album because of what it guts out of the film; it works because it's fabulous music.

Very distinct, too; I've never heard a film's score sound quite like 'Waking Life'. Really, that's where most my admiration comes from; it's not only an enthusiastically charming score, but it's uncommonly unique. That always earns points, whether or not the music is appealing; 'Waking Life' is effortlessly both.

dreamy but refreshing.......2006-03-09

I bought this because I loved the movie, both visually and philosophically. The soundtrack goes very well with the movie and is responsible for much of the surreal feel of it. But even listened to independently it's great.
The recording is kind of raw, there is little processing, and it may even be considered careless, but that's part of its charm.
The sound itself is pretty original (to me anyway). It's strings (one violin, one cello and one double bass, I think), piano and accordeon. The result is refreshing. That's probably the best word to describe this: refreshing, and of course, dreamy.

Quirky, Fun, Fantastic.......2004-01-14

I know nothing about tango; I got this soundtrack because I like the movie so much, and the music is such an important part of the movie's wandering, convoluted and dreamy feeling. I don't think I'll probably buy other Glover Gill albums, but this one is wonderful -- I often put it on while I'm working; it's great background music but it somehow manages to stay in the front of your mind.

Some reviewers have lamented the inclusion of Chopin's Nocturne on the album, but this CD was my first experience of the piece, and I love it. It has a totally different flavor from the rest of the tracks, so it provides a nice break.

The only bad thing about this album is that it gets a little repetitive. That's part of the nature of the music, which makes sense in the movie, but because many of the tracks have these climbing melodies that repeat and spiral ever upward, I find that after one listen to the whole thing I've had enough, and I'll stay away from the CD for a while. But that doesn't diminish its value in my opinion -- certainly one of the more interesting soundtracks I own, and I recommend it especially to people who've seen the movie, but also to the more adventurous of those who haven't.

Fascinating!!!.......2003-09-12

Recently, an Austin friend turned me on to a Glover Gill CD called Solo Tango. I liked it a lot and so looked him up on this site to see what else of his I could find. After reading the reviews of this one, I sort of half-heartedly ordered it.
Mistake!!! This is a fascinating piece of work. No, its not warmed-over Piazzolla as some have insinuated. The mere fact that it displays the characteristics of "new tango" doesn't automatically mean that the music will be a Piazzolla clone.
I've listened to and enjoyed lots of tango in my life, from the Guardia Vieja all the way through El Troesma to the present, and I can hear plainly that Glover Gill knows tango. The brooding melancholy jumps out and if you close your eyes, you can imagine being in the arrabal. Guess I'll have to see the movie, too!
Those familiar with tango of the 20s-40s will recognize snippets of some of the most famous tangos expertly worked into Gill's compositions. This is a great CD to kick back to and just enjoy. I've had it on all day soaking up its many pleasures. If I had to chose a favorite piece, Nocturna and Super Sport would vie for that honor.
If you have an open mind about tango and the possibilities of the genre, you should find as much to enjoy here as I do. I look ahead with eager anticipation to the next offering of Glover Gill and his Tosca Tango Orchestra.

Fabulous entertainment in itself.......2003-01-01

This soundtrack is actually quite incredible, an excellent achievement despite what some others say. The music has a distinctive quality that makes it entertainment all on its own; it hardly needs a film to go along with it (although the film was fantastic).

One of my favorite aspects of the music is that it doesn't remind me of certain parts of the film-- I do like being reminded of parts of films in some soundtracks, but this is great.
An exception is track 8, El Cholulo, which brought to my head images of the group of people just tangoeing, and it was actually a good thing to have a familiar image for part of the film. I also love the opening and finishing tracks, which are quite haunting and beautiful.
Simply listening to the samples in the record store, my face broke into an involuntary smile as I listened to it...
Enough said. This is great music. Get it.

AL has played with The Blues Project, Blood Sweat And Tears, Jimi Hendrix, The Rolling Stones and The Who. His Super Sessions albums recorded in the late `60s with Stephen Stills and Mike Bloomfield were two of the best selling rock albums of that period. Kooper Sessions Vol 2 was recorded with the legendary Shuggie Otis.

enjoyable romp from an unlikely duo!.......2007-04-10

Al kooper's previous album(supersession)set the standard for superstar jam albums so this record,released just one year later,was bound to be overlooked.However,since most of shuggie otis' discography has been reissued in recent years it only seemed natural that eventually they would dust off this little gem.The record is broken into two sides:side one consists of concise readings of more tradionally based blues material while side two is where shuggie and al decide to stretch out in the form of three lenghty jams.All and all this album is a nice little record that if you dig shuggie otis is well worth forking over the ten or twelve bucks for the experience.

Danger, danger - too tempting..!.......2006-08-08

No, it's not a bad review.. But don't buy this disc unless you want to get sucked in to a wonderful world of new musical experiences.

It's a clever 'taster' disc that contains some wonderful, intriguing and diverse muscial pieces by jordi and his various ensembles, one or two tracks each from various discs he has made for his label Alia vox. There are the sombre viol pieces, the 'swinging' ensemble tunes, then the haunting pieces by Figuerras (- for me the Sephardic ones especially).

At first I had my few favorites, then I realised that I was beginning to like everything on the disc, then I was in love with some of the pieces because the sound was so delicious and foreign and exciting, and I had to hear more..

At first I wondered why this was such a cheap disc, but it wasn't really cheap - I have now bought eight other savall discs, all because of this one, and no, I haven't been disappointed.

You have been warned.

Music of angels.......2003-12-04

This disc features a variety of players or groups and individuals, including several of my favorites within this genre(time period music) such as Jordi Savall, Hesperion XX and Montserrat Figueras. The music was recorded between 1998-2001. Being relatively uninformed I can testify to the beauty of the timeless music from the ordinary perspective of an outsider to this type of music. My knowledge base is ziltch for time period music but I do know what I like and the music sends my spirit soaring. This is joyful, tranquil music that transcends musical timelines and boundaries infecting the listener with a feeling of peace. Some of the music is written by annoymous authors, much like the beautiful pieces of art you might see in a museum with only the tag of artist unknown, while some is written, in contrast, by well known composers like J.S. Bach. The music has a religious quality, very much like music performed on sacred days in ancient times. One particular song that has the qualities just mentioned is "Alfons V El Magnanim" that is performed twice(as nice) in succession in a slightly different manner. The second version features the lovely voice of Montserrat Figueras and all I can say is, it is exquisite. Her voice is featured on many of the songs and it is as though you are in cathedral and an angel has entered to take you on its wings. Some of the music was written as far back as the 1400's and you can only wonder how many souls this music has touched throughout the ages in one form or another. La Capella Reial De Catalunya further accentuates and compliments the textures by lending their collective voices to the lead vocals of Figueras. There are a variety of pieces or styles offered on this disc including some " Elizabethan Consort Music," a lovely piece by Le Consort Des Nations entitled "L'Orchestre Du Roi Soleil" and some music for the season. The soft, soothing qualities prevail throughtout the disc regardless of who is performing. The musical instruments are played enthusiastically, at times underemphasized but with an exuberance for the time period. If you are in the mood for some quiet music to fill you with joy than give this bargain disc a listen. The booklet is thick with a bilingual offering in English and French quotes but features very little information about the music featured on this particular disc. Instead the booklet is an offering of color photgraphs of the players in performance, including a beautiful portrait of husband and wife team Jordi Savall and Monsterrat Figueras as they are working together. By far the vast majority of the booklet is thirteen pages dedicated to other discs released by the featured performers and the instruments thay play such as harp, viola, lire, luth etc. Recommended music that reflects the season that has universal appeal and longevity. Running time is 78:37.

excellent collection.......2002-06-11

i'm just going to write about my favorite piece on here, which has been heard by all who saw Platoon. that is Barber's Adagio. hearing this piece conducted here by Bernstein sends chills down my spine, especially in the well done section using silence after the climactic rise in notes!

A Classic Performance of Schuman!.......2000-09-17

I must agree with the previous reviewer, that "American Masterpieces" comprises a very thoughtful collection yet suffers slightly from poor interpretation of certain pieces. But the presence alone of the classic performance of William Schuman's "New England Triptych" by Andre Kostelanetz and the New York Philharmonic makes this compilation all worth it. I have looked forward for this particular version of Schuman's work to be released on compact disc for several years, in the meantime not being entirely satisfied with other versions that have circulated, i.e. Howard Hanson/the Eastman-Rochester Orchestra on the Mercury Living Presence label, -very poorly executed with an off-key, off-timed horn in the first movement, or the version on the RCA label by Leonard Slatkin and the St.Louis Symph.Orch. which is very well done, yet to my ear still does not compare to the depth and lively energy with which Kostelanetz and the New York Philharmonic presents this work.

I was disappointed with the manner with which the first two pieces by Berstein and Ives were conducted. The "Candide Orchestra" lacked the sensitivity of the performance by Lukas Foss /Milwaukee SO on the Pro Arte label, while Slatkin does a much better job with the Ives piece for RCA.

But the remainder of colorful material following Schuman on this CD - even with the overdone "Adagio for Strings" by Barber - makes for a very rewarding listening experience, with the only disappointing exception of the third piece ( "A Narrative") curiously missing from Virgil Thomson's "Acadian Songs and Dances", yet present on an old scratchy, mono LP that I have on the Decca label (Thomas Scherman /the Little Orchestra Society). Did Thomson later revise this suite? Or did this CD run out of space? If the latter is true, one can only wish that Barber's overplayed "Adagio" would have been bumped to make room for the entirety of Thomson's superb "Acadian Songs".

American Masterpieces - For pleasure or music ed. resource.......2000-07-28

The American Masterpieces CD is an excellent compilation of music that is uniquely American. Much of the material is based on folk sources, and all of it is thoughtfully selected. The only negative is that some of the music is not the best version available, but I'm sure that's due to the limitations of the Sony label. The "Adagio for Strings," for example, is taken at a slightly fast tempo, lessening the dramatic impact of the build-up. The selections are a music educator's delight. Bernstein's "Candide Overture" is perfection. Ives' "Variations on America" is a wonderful study in the use of a familiar theme in an unusual manner. "When Jesus Wept" can be sung by a chorus and then compared with Schuman's treatment. Gould's "American Salute" is an exciting study in theme and variations on the familiar tune, "When Johnny Comes Marching Home." And, of course, Gershwin's "Promenade" is delightful, and an excellent follow-up for the Fantasia 2000 film. The reason I bought the recording was for the Gottschalk "Grand Walkaround" and "Jamaican Rumba" by Benjamin. Both are based on American folk materials (Sweet Potatoes - Louisiana, and Mango Walk, respectively). The original songs can be sung, compared, performed in an Orff arrangement, and then presented in the orchestral interpretations. The folk songs are both found in the McGraw Hill music series, Share the Music, Grade 5. If you like this CD, try the American Salute CD from Musical Heritage Society.

On their own, bassists Ray Brown, John Clayton, and Christian McBride are three of the most talented musicians in jazz today. But, performing together as Superbass, the trio becomes a sublime ensemble, capable of inventive, virtuosic playing with no accompaniment needed or wanted from horns or percussion. Recorded live at the Blue Note club in New York over the course of a couple of sets in December 2000, this disc joyously defies logic--who knew that the upright bass was capable of singing solos from Porgy and Bess?--and standard musical conventions. Together, these guys produce a tender take "My Funny Valentine," an upbeat version of "Get Happy," and a funky Latin jazz number ("Taco with a Pork Chop") that would do Willie Bobo proud. All the while, the threesome is having a great time and taking plenty of solo turns. They've done this routine before--on the first live Superbass disc--but this one takes the cake; the playing is incredible. A fun disc. --Jason Verlinde

DETROIT IS MY HOME WHERE JAZZ IS AT HOME........2004-10-22

I have been listen to jazz for about 40yrs. Ray Brown is the number one bassit in the world.
He has played with so many players that love his bass playing ability.Ray Brown is the finest Bassit in the WORLD.From A DETROITER!

Loving Bass is not a requirement.......2002-10-25

Being a long time listener of Ray Brown (and admiring Christian McBride) I thought this CD would be interesting.

Interesting is an understatement.

This CD is pure, unadulterated FUN! Oh sure, these 3 guys are virtuousos of the first degree, but how many times have you heard people this talented just enjoying themselves in, essentially, their work!

For those who only remember Ray Brown as the bass player for the Merv Griffin house band, brace yourself. Arguably one of the 4 greatest bassists in the long history of Jazz, he is nothing short of booming here. McBride is wicked! He clearly is enjoying himself in the presence of one of his heroes. I had not heard John Clayton before but, after buying this CD, I had to get anything relating to Superbass to hear more.

To me this CD is like hugging someone you love. It never loses its appeal.

Wicked Awesome Fun.......2002-05-17

If you are a lover of the double bass, jazz or othewise, there are not many CDs you will find that are more fun than this one. It must have been a hoot to be in the audience at these shows - they invite audience participation and the audience is only too happy to oblige.

Tracks such as Get Happy, Papa Was a Rolling Stone, and Taco and a Pork Chop are more fun than bass players should be allowed to have. Summertime, My Funny Valentine, and I Loves You, Porgy show that these guys are no musical lightweights. Beautiful playing throughout. Arrangements are very good.

Turn on your subwoofer, crank up the volume, sit back, and get ready to annoy the neighbors. You will find yourself coming back to this disc over and over again.

Great.......2001-12-26

For those who think that jazz is boring, they are so, so wrong! Brown, McBride & Clayton make their big old instruments sound like a big band. Check out their happening, bass-slapping piece "Papa was a Rolling Stone" (Oh Wow! How could this be jazz! Woohoo!), and "Mysterioso" where the 3 stars make a beautiful classical sound out of it. Those who have heard Thelonius Monk & Sonny Rollins in "Mysterioso" will know what I mean! This 'live' recording makes the humble instrument come loud & alive. Woohoo! It's definitely an album worth investing in!

The debut release from New York cult band The 2 Skinnee J's is a fun and intelligent mixture of hip-hop, rock, funk and pop culture. Altough evocative at times of other rap-rock fusion groups, the J's are an entity all their own, dishing super-heroes on "Ball-Point Man" and delivering a full-throated geek call-to-arms on "Riot Nrrd". Long-time fans will love the new and improved recordings of "The Best," "Champion" and their tribute to Brooklyn living, 718," as well as the appearance of concert standards like "Pluto" and "The Good, The Bad & The Skinnee". Lyrically, frontmen J Guevera and Special J drop more sly and often obscure references than an episode of The Simpsons. If your idea of a good time includes rhymes about Old Jedi mind tricks, Bhoutros Bhoutros Gahli, and Shazam! layered on top of loud drums and wah-wah guitars, these are the J's you're looking for. --Andrew Boscardin

Blown away........2007-07-31

I saw these guys back when they opened for Sugar Ray at the State Theater in Detroit. They came out in these "devo" style hats and white jump suits. They all just stood in front of the audience posing like super heroes. the whole croud laughed and didn't know what to expect. Then they played and won the crowd over instantly. I can't recall a time when I've had more fun watching a band. There was such a fun and positive energy through out the whole place. Everlast came on after them and paled in comparison. And even though Sugar Ray was good (they even brought out Kid Rock for a few songs), the J's really owned the evening.

After their set, I ran into one of the lead singers on my way to the bathroom. He was working the crowd and told me about this cd that was on sale in the loby. I asked him technical questions and to my surprise, he answered me honestly. We chatted about how they couldn't clear "the imperial march" sample (that darned George Lucas!) and a few other production tid bits. Very cool and down to earth.

I won't go into the music on the disk because there are some other excellent reviews here that say everything that needs to be said. What I will say is this...A group with this much positive energy deserves to be heard. And the fact that a member of the group would take the time to talk "technical" with a fellow musician speaks volumes about the friendly open vibe they have mastered both on stage and on disk. Give them a chance.

P.S. "Volumizer" is as close to perfect as an electro-hip hop-rock-r&b cd can get. Pick that one up too...

By far the best Skinnee album........2003-08-18

This is by far the best Skinnee album. This is the one that made me fall in love with the J's.
I feel their newer albums got away from the original Skinnee that made the crowd jump and never want to leave a live show.
This album and the way it mixes the rock and rap will stay in my CD rotation forever.

This is what Skinnee is all about........2003-05-28

This album is absolutely unbelievable. The lyrics are incredibly well-crafted, it is a thing of beauty for sure. The only song for the J's that even earned them remote popularity is Riot Nrrrd, which really could serve as the anthem for the CD and the band if The Good, The Bad, and The Skinnee wasn't there to put all other songs in their place. There is simply not a bad song on this CD. Buy it, listen to it, look up the lyrics in Webster's, then know why they are the best lyricists on the planet.

Super J's.......2001-10-03

Underground classic. One of the best I have ever purchased. Recommended to anyone who likes good creative music.

The good, the bad, and the Skinny........2001-05-11

These guys rule. Heavy urban beats with, wait... ...what's this? Intelligent and uplifting rap lyrics. Damn that's crazy. Eclectic, yet all to familiar.
