Sound of Music - 40th Anniv. Special Edition.......2007-08-06

The extra tracks (at the end) of interviews with cast members are annoying, and you most certainly would not want to listen to them more than once.

The Wonderful Sound of Music.......2007-07-29

Our six-month old daughter loves the sound of music, especially Julie Andrews and the cast of The Sound of Music--she and we think it is truly wonderful!!

a classic.............2007-05-17

I can still remember the first time I heard this soundtrack. It was on my family's turntable. We happened to own the original vinyl addition. THE SOUND OF MUSIC (AKA THE SOUND OF MUSIC, in the words of Christopher Plummer who was Captain Von Trapp, in the film) is a classic musical that has really spanned the generations of young and old viewers, for (more than) four decades. For starters, the music is catchy ("The Sound of Music," "These Are A Few of My Favorite Things," and "Edelweiss," as just a few examples). Secondly, this cast was just great! Though, I have a personal preference toward the original cast, with Mary Martin and Theodore Bikel. Nonetheless, Julie Andrews is great here. What a beautiful soprano voice.

This edition features bonus transfers of interviews with those involved in bringing THE SOUND OF MUSIC to the screen. What's more, this is the complete soundtrack (instrumental and music featuring vocals is included here). Definitely a "must buy" for true fans.

Sound of Music--Still Great.......2007-05-13

I loved the music when it came on the big screen. I loved it on LP and cassette. Now, I love it even more on CD. The joy I get from listening to it while driving is wonderful. It sends me back to fond family memories. This is a must have.

Sound of Music.......2007-05-07

The CD of the soundtrack of Sound of Music came in good shape and in good time.

Greatest Hits? YESSSSSSSSSSSS.......2007-04-16

Perhaps at the time, these were considered their greatest hits. I've had my LP and CD for a very long time. I can't even remember. I love it. She was like an angel singing with herself. They seemed to adore one another on the TV show. She - so beautiful - and he - just beaming at her.
Maybe it's time to do another greatest hits and call it "More Greatest Hits". Other singers do it. And maybe all of us didn't agree with their first "greatest hit". Hey, you guys out there who do these kinds of things, what's taken so long?

great album.......2007-02-09

Every fan of Guitar music will appreciate this Album.
Les Paul is not only a great Guitarist he is an inventor of modern recording technology.
Dual track recording and his use of up to eight tracks made him an music industry icon.
Mary Ford's strong clear voice makes this duo complete.
A great Album!

Some Glaring Omissions!.......2005-08-06

I'm a huge fan of Les Paul and after reviewing the track list on this CD, I don't see how anyone in their right mind could call it an "all time greatest hits" collection.

While tracks such as "Mockin' Bird Hill", "The World is Waiting for the Sunrise", and "Vaya Con Dios" among the duo's best loved and best known songs, I find the omission of "How High the Moon", one the their biggest hits, to be unforgiveable. Equally astonishing is why "Dry My Tears", the theme song of Les & Mary's 50s radio show, and "Cryin'", arguably the best song Mary Ford has ever sung, were excluded. I would much rather have had those tracks included in the disc than the cover version of Patti Page's "Tennessee Waltz", and the ersatz "Meet Mr. Callaghan". It's also hard to understand why the only Les Paul solo instrumental track on this disc is "Bye Bye Blues". "Lover", the song that propelled Les into the spotlight, and "Nola", a song that enjoyed worldwide popularity, were inexplicably left out.

While this is a decent collection of the work of Les Paul and Mary Ford, it is definitely NOT their all time greatest hits. The record label ought to be sued for false advertising.

Refreshing!.......2004-12-31

I've just discovered this pair, and I'm so sorry I haven't heard them until now. Being a jazz vocalist, I'm always looking for challenging material. I have a few CDs in this genre, but the styling, and caliber of the musicians puts my other CDs to shame. I suspect k.d. lang has borrowed styling from the likes of Mary Ford, as their voices seem to lilt in the same fashion. Les Paul's ability makes me wonder if there are more than two or three guitars playing simultaneously. Many of these cuts are very subtle in their exhibition of complicated material. For those so inclined to listen, it's an auditory adventure.

What a great sound.......1999-08-25

I am so happy that Les Paul and Mary Ford records are available. I love this one.

The Hannah Montana special edition soundtrack arrives so coolly p ackaged and with such a bonanza of extras that it might even induce budget-conscious tweens who already own the original to break open their piggy banks a second time. All the same hyper-charged, deliriously fun songs are here--the Radio Disney hit "If We Were a Movie" and the speaker-hazardous "Pumpin' up the Party" included--but so is a new number, "Nobody's Perfect," that again reaches out with a message from Miley Cyrus, a.k.a. Hannah, without mitigating the sky-high mood. Toe-tapping, indeed, is mandatory. Throughout. Other deluxe-edition tack-ons include signed snaps of the double-life-leading superstar, a certificate for a free "This Is the Life" ringtone, and a starter course of celebrity dish: in addition to a concert sliver featuring "Nobody's Perfect" on disc two (the DVD), Miss Cyrus leads her breathless fans on chummy, if minimally revealing, backstage tour. --Tammy La Gorce

This album is better than the 2nd one. This is the house favorite! this album is more suitable for smaller kids.

A Great CD for Tweens and Teens.......2007-06-13

I like the songs by Hannah Montana on this CD because they don't talk about boys and relationships but are focused more on a positive self image. There are a few songs at the end by other artists which aren't as good.

Can't Go Wrong.......2007-06-04

If you (or your kids) are (bubblegum) pop music, Hannah Montana/Miley Cyrus, or Disney fans, this is definitely a soundtrack for you. Like the regular soundtrack, this 2-Disc Special Edition Hannah Montana CD is full of fun, get-your-body-moving songs that kids and adults can relate to. The bonus track and the extra features (backstage secrets hosted by Miley Cyrus herself, a live performance of "Nobody's Perfect," and 4 polaroid-style pictures) make it well worth shelling out that extra ten dollars.

This is a must buy!

At last, oldies but goodies you're not sick of the second time around..........2007-01-26

The movie Hairspray by John Waters boasts a score so good it's almost criminal! This CD contains twelve great songs that deserve much more attention than they ever received; and just one listen proves it.

The great songs on this CD include Toussaint McCall's heartrending ballad "Nothing Takes The Place Of You." Toussaint McCall sings this beautifully and the musical arrangement enhances the beauty of this number. Jan Bradley performs "Mama Didn't Lie" which is another excellent song. Jan sings about protecting her heart from boys who don't want to give her true love. "Foot Stompin'" boasts an infectious beat by The Flares as they sing about dancing to what was once known as "race" music. Excellent!

"You'll Lose A Good Thing" is a very romantic ballad by Barbara Lynn. In this song Barbara reminds her man to treat her well.

One of very favorite numbers on this album is Gene Pitney's "Town Without Pity." Gene delivers this song very well; his voice is strong and energetic. The musical arrangement will stun you, too. Another excellent song is "The Madison Time" by The Ray Bryant Combo. "The Madison Time" is essentially a great instrumental number with a man telling dancers on the dance floor which steps to take. The arrangement is slick, $exy and very catchy, too.

Despite the fact that this CD boasts a fine collection of obscure oldies, the song "Hairspray" was written for the 1988 movie. "Hairspray" represents camp at its best and you will enjoy this number even if it isn't an oldie.

Other great songs on this CD include "I'm Blue (The Gong-Gong Song);" "Shake A Tail Feather" and "The Roach (Dance)."

Some reviewers write that they wish that this CD included more music from the motion picture soundtrack. They are right. I considered making this a four star review for that reason but I concluded that the strength of this CD as it stands merits a five star review. The songs here are just so good I said "Aw, heck" to myself and so I gave it five stars anyway.

The liner notes give the songs credits and John Waters adds a brief essay about the songs on this CD. The graphics are excellent.

Overall, this CD offers a rare opportunity to hear many obscure but wonderful oldies that deserve more play time than they ever will receive. The quality of the sound is excellent even on my portable CD player. Fans of the oldies or movie soundtracks will love this album. May you enjoy this album as much as I have!

Best Song Missing.......2006-10-12

The reason this only gets 4*'s is because it's without the Bunker Hill tune, "Hide And Go Seek (Part 1)".

When the LP was first released, I picked up a copy and was also disappointed not to find the remaining songs from the movie.
For years I had been collecting the songs that brought my best memories
of my youth. Here was a chance to add a few of the rarer ones.

Since then, I've been able to complete my own collection of the tunes of Hairspray. And yes, "Hide And Go Seek" was my number one priority.

I found it on 2 different CD's. "The Golden Age Of American Rock 'n' Roll Vol. 6" on Ace and the ultra-rare, "Do You Remember? 30 Original Golden Oldies" on Mr. Maestro.

Luckily, though, "The Roach", "Footstompin'", "Mama Didn't Lie" and "Nothing Takes The Place Of You" are included in the Hairspray LP/CD, which are very much repsonsible for its 4* rating.

The only so-called weak tunes on this recording are the title track, "Hairspray" and "I Wish I Were A Princess".

where you can find the other 8 songs missing from cd.......2006-05-31

You can find the other 8 songs not on the cd at "Nina's discount records in New Jersey. I did.

Where's the rest?.......2006-04-27

I'd buy this CD in a second if it included all of the songs from the movie.

HIGH WATERS MARK.......2005-12-23

HAIRSPRAY-ORIGINAL MOTION PICTURE SOUNDTRACK: From outrageous cult director John Waters' most accessible comedy (starring none other than Ricki Lake, Divine, Sonny Bono, Debbie Harry, and Jerry Stiller!), the audio companion to HAIRSPRAY is every bit as much grand, giddy fun as the fabulous flick, thanks to tastefully obscure song selections from the pre-Fab Four era of 60s pop and RNB. Gene Pitney's dramatic TOWN WITHOUT PITY and Barbara Lynn's YOU'LL LOSE A GOOD THING aside, near-forgotten classics such as Ray Bryant's swinging dance instruction tune THE MADISON TIME, the Five Du-Tones' funky frenzy SHAKE A TAIL FEATHER, and Little Peggy March's bubblegum lipsmacker I WISH I WERE A PRINCESS are crafty, blessedly abstract choices. Throw in the Ikettes' (Ike and Tina's backup singers) soul-saturated I'M BLUE (THE GONG GONG SONG), Brenda Lee-wannabe Rachel Sweet's kitschy title number, and not one, but TWO insect ditties (THE ROACH and THE BUG), and you've got a soundtrack that's pure dance nirvana. So tease yourself with HAIRSPRAY today! RATING: FIVE RAT TAIL COMBS

not really a flaw either. he re-recorded Kookies. New beat, new flow, same lyrics. everything else is like the original. (For those in NYC... u can get the original at ur local New York Public Library... for FREE). the album comes wrapped in a candy wrap and the label is scratch n sniff... also comes with a MM..Food? sticker and a the promo poster for MM..Food Drive Tour. the dvd is well worth it as well... over an hour of footage of DOOM on tour. perfect for any collection.

Raw & eccentric Hip-Hop at its best.......2007-07-25

MF DOOM is an MC/producer genius. MF DOOM's flowetry blended with his great beats makes for a truly unforgettable journey with the super villain. The entire set of tracks does not disappoint and even the guest MC appearances are worth noting. The album's context deals with food entirely and MF tears up the mic making clever comparisons eclectically to food. If you are an MF DOOM fan, definitely obtain a copy of this album. Plus, the re-released version of the album comes with a bonus DVD of the Mm...Food tour. This CD is a bit more refined than other MF DOOM/other alias releases; the album is on par with the DangerDoom release which is also a modern classic.

Flawless Doom ..........2007-07-24

As a relatively new MF Doom fan, I was excited to add 'MM .. Food?' to my collection, along with The Mouse and the Mask, Madvilliany, and Live From Planet X. Although it is hard to compare his albums to one another, this particular one really stands out from the others. Doom drops pure lyrical genius all over this album, with witty comments and puns that directly relates life to food. It's a fun album that truly showcases his quick and flawless delivery.

The album begins with 'Beef Rapp', which is a half instrumental/sampled song until he finally decides to start rapping two minutes into it. In this particular song his scruffy voice compliments the heavy and loud superhero sounding beat. His lyrics are impressive: ""Heart attack, heart disease ... ain't no holding back once arteries start to squeeze." 'Hoe Cakes' uses a spit sounding beat with a female sample saying "Super" throughout the chorus - interesting mix. 'Potholderz,' featuring Count Bass D, is a decent song with an average beat ... however Doom really begins to shine in 'One Beer' and 'Deep Fried Frenz.' Both of these songs show his quick and witty delivery and interesting lyrics. Unfortunately, both of these songs have annoying beats that make it rather difficult to listen to. 'Poo Putt Platter' through 'Fig Leaf' are all instrumentals, however it's worth the waiting because Doom shows up in tip top form for the remainder of the album. 'Kon Kane' makes a departure from the annoying beats mentioned previously by introducing a quick piano melody with what sounds like Space Invaders taser blasts. 'Guinnesses' features Angelika and 4ize, and this song is one of the best tracks on the album. It's a unique and addicting Rockabilly beat, all delivered by Angelika. Doom is only present during the chorus where he relates "War wounds, morphine, and veterans" to marrying and trying to tame a female! "Some chicks are just too hard to wife!" In 'Kon Queso' Doom picks a perfect match of beat, melody, and lyrics. It is a really quick pulsating beat with exceptional lyrics. "When it rain it sure do thunderstorm / I got more rhymes in the summer than musty underarms." He really shines; and it continues to get better. After 'Rapp Snitch,' a cheesy filler song, Doom continues to blow the album up with 'Vomitspit.' Not only does this song sport a crazy beat, his lyrics don't get any better. "The mask is like Jason / They told the place not to let the basket type case in / He could be some kind of wacko / Waiting for the chance to heat the pipes like a crack hoe." And finally, the last song caps off a great album. 'Kookies' has a beat that you just want to row your windows down and cruise to. This song is an interesting one in which Doom refers to trying to track down females online to his cookie consumption habits over a brass sounding beat. "Catch sugar fits every time he sees a nice pair of / Chips ahoy double chocolate chunk / Something with the bubble and the junk in the trunk"

Overall, the album is great. It took me a few times through to really apprecaite how well thought the album is. It truly grows on you. I find it interesting how he relates different stuff to food. There are quite a few songs that are just samples on the album; in fact, almost every song has samples and cartoons mixed towards the end. This frustrates some people, however it mostly all tells a story - why he wears his mask. This doesn't take away from the album in any form or fashion.

"I elect Doom master of the Universe!"

Listening to this soundtrack at full blast one often feels as if the Spartan and Persian forces are coming right at you, then ferociously pummeling your eardrums--and this is meant as a compliment. Tyler Bates's score is basically a modern update of the battle classic to end all battle classics: Carl Orff's Carmina Burana. On the opening cue "To Victory," Bates throws in everything he's got: powerful choral singing, massive percussion (you can almost feel the weight of those Japanese taiko drums), and of course an otherworldly female voice. All these elements are then parceled out over the following tracks, taking turns to dominate the cues, and sometimes coming together again in majestic shows of force--the music can sound absolutely humongous at times ("Submission," "Come and Get Them," "A God King Bleeds"). The most interesting development is the use throughout of electronic treatment; even when the technique is applied subtly, it's very efficient in adding a spooky dimension to the album's very sonic texture. And while you'd think an electric guitar would feel incongruous in a movie set in 480 BC, it actually injects a screaming sense of urgency into a track such as "The Hot Gates." As for that aforementioned female voice, it belongs to Iranian-born, L.A.-based Azam Ali (of the duo Vas), who makes essential contributions on tracks like "Cursed by Beauty" and "Goodbye My Love." --Elisabeth Vincentelli

Album Description

Epic, emotional and inventive describe the action drama 300 and also its score. Written and produced by Tyler Bates (Dawn of the Dead, Rob Zombie's The Devil's Rejects, and Slither), Music From The Motion Picture 300 boasts a sweeping palette, embracing a tonal foundation unfamiliar to studio films. Orchestral and choral, 300 features the haunting, exotic vocals of Azam Ali, featured in world music groups Niyaz and Vas. Special Edition Includes: Deluxe Packaging, 3 Two-Sided Trading Cards and 16 Page Full Color Booklet.

emotionally stirring.......2007-06-12

An exotic and emotionally moving soundtrack that helped drive this extremely powerful and entertaining film. I suppose that I'm giving it a four because, to me, the Gladiator soundtrack with Lisa Gerrard set the bar so high. I did enjoy the way that this one so effectively wove ancient sounds with modern rock sounds. The movie and its soundtrack are true works of art.

Great soundtrack to the movie.......2007-06-02

This soundtrack has a unique sound to it and it really adds to the movie. There is a good mix between more fast pace and softer tracks also. If you like instrumental music that is both fast paced and slow, then you'll love this soundtrack.

I knew I needed this about two minutes into the movie........2007-05-17

Great stuff. I'm no orchestral expert, but it sounds fantastic. I expected more heavy pieces, but I guess those sections seemed longer in the movie. Good music to drive to, though it's over quickly.

Perfect music for the film of the year!.......2007-05-13

A must have for fans of the film.

300 special edition.......2007-05-13

the pack is very nice but the music is a bit high, I have not seen the film yet, maybe after I see the film I may apriciate it more.

Great album by an often overlooked group.......2007-01-04

Gary Puckett and the Union Gap had a distinctive sound that still comes through today. This CD has all of their best hits with a few others added. If you are a fan, this is a must-have.

Oldies Lover.......2006-11-07

There are a lot of songs on this CD that I don't remember & don't really care for. However, the sound quality is good. Take the time to listen to all the samples before buying.

A real time machine trip (ten stars).......2006-03-08

Your kidding me! This takes me back to a hangout called "the barn" and my old girlfriend Debby. Boy those were the days. This is real music to relate to.

Gary Puckett-Greatest Hits.......2005-09-19

It is a great CD- am enjoying it immensely!

Another Gary Puckett Greatest Hits?.......2005-08-02

It seems like there are at least a dozen "Greatest Hits" or "Best of" collections by Gary Puckett, and this one is probably not one of the better ones. I think that each of the collections include the real hits of Gary Puckett and the Union Gap, "Woman, Woman," "Young Girl," "Lady Willpower," "This Girl Is a Woman Now," and "Over You." After that each of the collections includes "stuff."

The "stuff" on this CD includes "To Love Somebody" by the Bee Gees. Gary Puckett's voice is an excellent match for this cover of the Bee Gees' classic. There is a cover of "Kentucky Woman" by Neil Diamond in this collection. I know the remaining songs, "Let's Give Adam and Eve Another Chance," "Could I," and "Daylight Stranger" have all appeared on other Gary Puckett collections.

Gary Puckett has an excellent, mellow voice. When his voice matches the material the result is outstanding. However, there are a lot of Gary Puckett collections that exist, and this one is very short, under a half hour. If you are only interested in the top 40 hits, nearly any of these collections (including this one) will give you those. Then you have to decide which of the other songs on the collection you want as well.

My rating is not so much for the material on this collection, which is okay, but for the fact that there are better collections available and it seems as though Gary Puckett has been repackaged too many times with the same core material. The numerous collections should be pared down to a couple. One collection should have half dozen songs or so and the other collection could be like "A Golden Classics Collection," which has an incredible 27 songs. Choose wisely!

There is an excellent advantage to owning a Bobby Valentino disc and it is this: no matter how many other discs you've shuffled it with, you will never get confused as to who it is you're listening to, because Bobby V.--V. Tino, if you will--name-checks himself consistently throughout every track. Special Occasion is no exception, but it also earns its keep by way of solid, sexed-up R&B. When the limber-voiced ladies' man isn't strutting his stuff à la the dancefloor-ready "Checking for Me," a full-on stomper about a lady who likes to pretend she doesn't have an eye out for Bobby V., he's pleading his case to a lover in dire need of reassurance ("Turn The Page," "Home is Where You Belong," "Soon As I Get Home"). What binds these tracks is a hard-bitten refusal to skimp on the passion; no matter how quick the tempo or quirky the beat ("Tired of Being Alone" is especially exotic), Valentino delivers with all the fire he can muster. He also has a flair for recalling his mentors without being derivative--check out his Jeffrey Osborne moment on "If I had My Way." --Tammy La Gorce

I have heard better but all in all it is pretty good........2007-08-06

There are two songs I like on this above the rest of them. "Anonymous" and "Turn the page". The rest of the c.d. has good songs but to me those are the standouts. It is worth buying. Something good to listen to with your lady.

BEST CD From DTP.......2007-07-20

This was a great c.d. Bobby came thru with his sophmore album...He should get alot of respect from this one... Seeing that he wrote a majority of the songs, I say he has a raw talent for this.. Rearview Ridin should be his next single.. Overall Great c.d. cant wait for the next one..HOPEFULLY I WILL BE ABLE TO HELP....HOPEFULLY.!!

Great CD.......2007-07-16

Great album. His first CD was great and so is this one! Very smooth R&B sounds. Very relaxing. Love it!

So, so..........2007-07-09

I bought this album because I absolutely love the song "Anonymous" but the rest of the album is just mediocre. I think that Bobby should team up with Timberland for an entire album b/c none of the other songs reach the level of anonymous.

Fan mail.......2007-07-07

I am a huge fan of Bobby Valentino. Good music, no profanity, semi-romantic bedroom music

Our Love To Admire is at once unmistakably Interpol and undeniably new. The witty and perverse "No I In Threesome" is an upbeat ode to shaking up a staid relationship propelled by Carlos D's peerless bass melody while the tenderly observant "Pace Is the Trick" proves that the band are still the masters of the dramatic - check the painful pause right before the sinfully satisfying return of Sam's thundering drums and Daniel's ringing lead guitar. The band's impressively seductive evolution is obvious all over the record, but never more so than on tracks like "Mammoth," "Who Do You Think" and on the album's lyrical centerpiece, the ghostly "Rest My Chemistry." While Daniel is understandably proud of the song he cautions against reading too much autobiography into its lyrics. "We always leave the interpretation to the listener," he says. "I mean, you shouldn't watch a movie for the first time listening to the director's commentary!"

Our Love to Admire closes with "The Lighthouse," a funereal dirge that is among the most unexpected and memorable songs ever recorded by the band. Almost entirely percussion-free, the song is constructed around Daniel's mournful guitar and Paul's sparten lyrics. Not only is it one of their finest moments to date, it provides the album's most goose-bump inducing moment, the very same reflex shivers that make Interpol live shows such an exhilarating experience. As the very last song the band recorded for the album it was, they say, the hardest to play. The hypnotic guitar part was played on a 50-year-old guitar that had toxins on the strings, providing Daniel with a blistering and painful sensation in his fingers. The band weren't even sure the track would make it out of the studio, but once they heard Paul's remarkable vocals they were floored. The song - and the album - doesn't so much end as it bleeds to a close with a long, echoey coda filled with feedback and strin! gs. A fittingly dramatic end to a stunning and emotional journey. Interpol is back, every bit as good as before but charged with a new spirit, a new direction, a new label and, most of all, a new confidence.

Special Package Edition includes:

A bound, CD-sized hard covered book with 24-page booklet. CD in back and poster.

Instant Classic.......2007-07-18

From the opening note, "Our Love To Admire" sets the mood, steeped in dark pop. The flow of the album is well conceived, with powerful tracks near the end to keep the album moving towards the climax in a whisper.

The vocals are emotive and serve as the vocal point for each song. The bass sound is full, yet throaty. The guitars are upfront, with a nice use of texture.

"No I In Threesome" is a personal favorite, complete with the title line in an unexpected place. "Heinrich" is an excellent choice for radio play. Other stand out tracks include "All Fired Up" (with some very active guitar lines), "My Chemistry" (actually some of the best Interpol lyrics ever are present on this song", and "Wrecking Ball"

I can't wait to see them on their upcoming tour.

Cementing their sound a little bit further... get the normal copy this special edition is not worth it!.......2007-07-18

Firstly I would like to say do not waste your money on this copy of this album. Get the normal copy!

I bought it thinking it was going to be unique, only to find as I pulled off the wrapping that i managed to tear a small part of the paper cover album! Not only that, but when I opened the booklet up the cd managed to fall out (also comes in a slip) and get slightly scratched (not bad enough that i couldnt listen to it) and the poster, apart from being folded up way too many times is also a pain to try and get back into its original sleeve.

Plus it costs a lot more then the normal version. Just buy that one!

The album:

Apart from being over joyed at the thought of a new interpol album, I have to say that I didnt really find that much of a difference in the writing style to antics. I feel however, the difference between turn down your bright lights and antics is quite easy to spot.

I find there is some starking difference to the overall feel of the album. Almost like the recording was more refined, less analoge and more of a digital perfect stream of sounds involved ( I will refer back to antics for a better listen) but I like it!

This album provides quite a mellow feel to it, really easy to listen to and as an interpol fan, you can only help and appriciate that this band is finding its sound. This album is evidence of that.

I dont know if this will be as big a hit as Antics was with "Evil" but "the Henrich Manuver" and "All fired up" may prove otherwise.

A good Interpol album. Not as innovative as people seem desperate to find between albums but if you are a fan of the interpol/joy division sound from previous experiances (albums) then this one is for you.

It's a different kind of Interpol.......2007-07-17

This album definitely takes some getting used to. Where songs like PDA, slow hands, not even jail, leif erikson, have something immediately cool about them, or have that hook which pulls you in, you may have to dig a little deeper to find it in OLTA. I must have listened to TOTBL and Antics 100's of times so I know Interpol as much as any other fan, but my initial feeling about OLTA was indifference. I just didn't find it that appealing, and some songs just horrible (mostly wrecking ball). But after a dozen or so listens it is growing on me. And I'm starting to like the "New" Interpol a little more. So my advice is to give it a good try, but it's certainly an acquired taste.

Been Waiting a long time for this album!.......2007-07-14

Interpol has to be one of the most underrated bands of our time. I discovered Interpol about a little over a year ago with Antics and Followed it up with Turn on the Bright Lights, TOtBL has to be the best interpol album ever made by them. I have yet to hear Our Love to Admire but you can be sure that any Interpol Purchase is a good purchase. I still spin the albums more than I thought I would. But do be careful! Interpol is an Acquired taste and I have noticed that the people who I share interpol with and actually like it, are music enthusiasts and people who just love music and appreciate the artists visions and artwork. There songs are a little different than what normal people are used too. But don't worry, If you are afraid of expanding your tastes or you have exhausted them, Interpol WILL grow on you. it did for me, each song individually stand up on it's own and this album does just that!

this is on the so called "special package".......2007-07-12

i totally love interpol and love this album, this was practically gonna be true before i heard one song

on the new songs, they are pretty good, some classics already

my beef is with the special package, the booklet is essentially on different paper (thicker non shiny) but it's the same as the regular cd

the poster pictured is a masterful foldout poster folded so many times, think of a regular size cd insert with dimensions 4 x 5.. that's a lot of folds

the poster art is not too bad

i guess i was hoping for some pictures of the band, ok i will stop hating now, just make sure u buy the regular cd

save your money, buy the regular one instead
