Given the chart success of their Grammy-winning country single "Who Says You Can't Go Home," it's no surprise Bon Jovi upped the ante by recording an entire album paying homage to Nashville. In some ways, it's amazing they didn't do this sooner, given the way Keith Urban in particular is blurring country-pop lines, much as Garth Brooks and others did in the 1990s. To their credit, you won't find predictably shallow invocations of past country icons or any self-conscious, in-your-face down-home twang added strictly to remind the listener of the musical premise. In fact, Lost Highway isn't "Bon Jovi goes country" so much as a meaningful tribute to the Nashville ethos done on their own terms. They honor the spirit of the town through 12 simple, direct originals. The intimate, smoldering "(You Want To) Make a Memory," the ballad "Seat Next To You," "Lost Highway" and its roaring celebration of freedom, and "Stranger," an effective duet with LeAnn Rimes, all invoke country's spirit, and "I Love This Town," an eloquent nod to Nashville itself, ties it together admirably. --Rich Kienzle

Album Description

"Artistic freedom made this record possible," says Jon Bon Jovi. "Musical freedom to explore--and emotional freedom to express what was in our hearts."

The result of that freedom is Lost Highway, an album Jon describes as "a Bon Jovi record influenced by Nashville."

Bon Jovi explains. "Nashville is all about songs and songwriters. If you're someone like me who loves songs and hanging out with songwriters, Nashville is the place. I thrive on that feeling and I'm inspired by that creative ambience."

The result, a haunting set of 12 new and original sounding songs, is a stunning, multi-layered look into the nature of love and life in all its glory. Love, like life, is lost, found, forgotten and reclaimed in this collection.

The moods are many, but the core feeling is pure Bon Jovi.

"Writing this record with Jon was deeply cathartic," says Richie Sambora, who collaborated on ten of the songs. "I was going through emotional changes that were new for me. An ailing father. A painful divorce. The start of a new chapter in my life. I poured everything I had into this project, every last bit of soul at my command."

"For over twenty years now," Jon explains, "Richie and I have been close collaborators. Even when our songs create fictional stories, they reveal our states of mind. To a large degree, Lost Highway focuses on the light that love brings. When you shine the light on love, you see the chinks in the armor. You see every crevice, every crack. And that's all right".

Lost Highway is Bon Jovi's tenth studio album since the band formed in the early eighties. One hundred and twenty million albums and 2500 concerts in over 50 countries later, Bon Jovi is enjoying the greatest popularity in their history.

Great CD.......2007-08-05

The songs are fabulous on this CD I am enjoying rocking out in my car

Man, I miss These Days.......2007-08-03

All I can say is Bon Jovi's sound has traveled far and wide from the way it used to be back in the good old days of Keepin the Faith and These Days.... Jon's voice is nearly an octave lower than it used to be and his accent has changed too. I much prefer to hear the magnificent vocals found on past albums than the average vocals you'll find on this one...

Amazon rocks.......2007-08-01

I love Bon Jovi, this cd is just another extension of their fabulous talent and view of music. It's like listening to the stories the guys would tell their families. Great buy!

Lost Highway- Bon Jovi.......2007-08-01

Every song on this cd sounds the same. It's a waste of time and money.

Multiple Layers of Sound He Created.......2007-08-01

There's one thing I want to say, so I'll be brave. Basically, I don't know how many times I kept on trying and kept on failing and failing and trying and failing in order to make certain dream come true. Sometimes it's better to sink than to swim. Thankfully, Bon Jovi doesn't subscribe to this advice. I was once told in confidence that he does, but this propitious slab proves that his artistic compass could indeed see land. Tracks like "Vanishing Horse" and "Ditching a Plane For Cat Food" are the immediate standouts, highlighting Bon's enthusiasm for the novelty hits of yesteryear. But "jack'round" music is not the only boring part here. Bon begins to put all his eggs in the most fearsome basket of all by track 3, the thunderous and ivy-covered "False Hope." I thought that was the most awesome song there was at the time. It is an anti-Irish diatribe in the spirit of "Firecrotch" from his 1976 masterpiece "Pussy Heaven," but this time the unsuspecting targets are Chinese railroad workers of the late 1800's. Heartfelt verses give way to the rousing, chanted chorus of "go home or effing die!" Over and over. Yeah. Sometimes I hear a CD and I think that nothing could ever be as good as this. Well, that's what I thought about this one. "Final Approach" is the best song. It's a heavy rocker in the spirit of Century or Robust Rufus, and probably the most emotionally-healthy breakup song I've heard to date. And I've heard a lot of emotionally-healthy breakup songs. I assume this was written to deal with the death and Co-dine overdose of Bon's second wife, Marie, in August. I was made to understand that he was so excited by her magnetism and the intensity of her speech methods, but especially by the power of the images she was capturing in her "beat poetry." Then the whole damn thing basically all goes downhill from there. Awesome record, though. The only thing that offended me about this slab was all the thinly-veiled jabs at the mentally retarded population. Hitler was NOT right, Bon! LOL Oh, well.

Easy Tiger, Ryan Adams's ninth solo studio album, is a return to form in every way. He's already shown that he can bash out three albums in one year--not to mention the hilarious fake hip-hop records posted for free on his Web site--and that he can sound as much like the Grateful Dead as he wants to in his constant subsequent touring. Backed once again by the Cardinals, Adams synthesizes and refines his approach to smooth, gorgeous country-pop. "Tears of Gold" is one of the best songs he's written in ages, while "Two" is a slowly percolating, sweet little number that recalls Sean Hayes in its soulful folksiness (someone named Sheryl Crow accompanies Adams on vocals). One of the greatest treats of this languorous, twangy album is the subtle ways that genre gets played with. "I Taught Myself How to Grow Old" is the best Harvest outtake Neil Young never wrote, while the treated, synth-sounding guitar solo on the druggy, chooglin' "Halloweenhead" sounds like it comes straight out of Journey. And "The Sun Also Sets" sounds more than a little like Rufus Wainwright covering Fred McDowell's "Write Me a Few of Your Lines." It bursts with enough melodrama as to border on musical theater. But, as is clear on these songs of love and loss, Adams has always been at his best when giving into his most mellow, dramatic side. --Mike McGonigal

Album Description

I think there are really only two kinds of pop music CDs these days. There are the ones you listen to only once or twice, maybe downloading the single good song to your iPod or computer; then there are others that grow stronger, sweeter, and more necessary each time you play them. Gold was that way; Cold Roses was that way; so was Jacksonville City Nights. I won't say Adams is the best North American singer-songwriter since Neil Young...but I won't say he isn't, either. What I know is there has never been a Ryan Adams record quite as strong and together as Easy Tiger; it's got enough blue-eyed, blue-steel soul (with the faintest country tinge) to make me think of both Marvin Gaye and the Righteous Brothers. Probably ridiculous, but true. And the songs themselves are beautiful--the lyrics tightly focused and brief, the feeling one of melancholy calm that will probably be a revelation to fans that remember the old, sometimes angry Ryan Adams.

Now there's this, maybe the best Ryan Adams CD ever. And I know you want to listen to it right away. But slow down. Take your time. This album asks for that, and it will reward your full attention.

In other words--easy, Tiger.

--Stephen King

Customer Reviews:

Not Bad at all.......2007-08-05

He can write a song, there is no doubt. So I'll be the Dbag who pines for Strangers Almanac-never a more perfect album. It would be nice for Ryan to put aside the singer/songwriter mantle with all it's trappings and write songs like that again. I'm sure no one else feels the same way, so feel free to blast away.

I Love Christina Aguilera!.......2007-08-01

Every Christina Aguilera record is an event to behold, and this one is no different!!

I must say, Its wonderful when a pop singer like Christina branches out and tries her hand at Country Music - in fact, she is so good here that its impossible to fault her rock-country bent of mind!

Yes, the album is called "Easy Tiger" which really plainly explains Christina's fascination with the dichotomy and hegemony of the Catholic Church, all told through the eyes of a Southern American Baptist! This insightful theological approach will appeal to the zillions of Aguilera fans in various populated nations of the world (Guam, Russia, etc).

I say - throw the woman a bone! Its obvious shes trying hard, and her music is getting better.

Yes, she does look manly on the cover but is that any reason to hate anybody? Bigot!

Five Stars. Old Chrissie has never sounded better. Waiting for Volume Two.

3.5 Stars... Average Ryan Adams album (which is still better than most others').......2007-07-28

It's been uncharacteristically quiet for a long time around Ryan Adams, after he released not one, not two, but THREE albums in 2005. Since then he has posted a lot of one-off, goofy musical ramblings on his website, but here finally comes the new album.

In "Easy Tiger", Ryan blazes through 13 songs in a mere 39 min., another departure from his usual musical outings. The musical direction on this album is a mix between the country twangy-oriented sound he offered on "Jacksonville City Nights", one of those 2005 albums, and the more straight-forward alt-country sound from earlier albums (including when he was still in Whiskeytown). Personally, I don't care for the flat-out country songs such as opener "Goodnight Rose" and "Tears of Gold", the latter of which certain people are calling one of his best tunes ever, but I simply don't hear it. Much better are "Two", first single "Everybody Knows", and the hard charging "Halloween Head". Other highlights for me include "Off Broadway" and the last 2 tracks, "These Girls", just Ryan and his guitar, and "I Taught Myself How to Grow Old', perhaps the finest song on here, certainly lyrically.

This is not a bad album, certainly compared to 90% or more of the crap that is played on mainstream commercial radio, but by Ryan's standards, "Easy Tiger" is pretty unremarkable. Ask yourself: how many songs do you find humming to yourself after you've played this album a few times? Such is life when you live in the LONG shadows of "Heartbreaker" and Gold", the perfect albums from 2000 and 2001 that will continue to define Ryan's place in the history of music.

Good.......2007-07-27

Its hard to dislike a Ryan Adams album because frankly he is an amazing song writer and musician. However this album is really no more than I expected. That's not a bad thing. This album reflects upon Ryan's different styles with rockers such and Halloween Head. Twangy country tunes like Tears of Gold, folky numbers like Pearls on a String.

The only song I don't love is is Two, just personal taste.

If you like Ryan or maybe just don't know where to start this a good album for any listener.

This country's best songwriter.......2007-07-26

Stephen King was right. Ryno keeps up the good work with his latest album. As many have already stated, it is best described as a combination of many of his past albums and styles. Nonetheless it is a collection of great, well written, heartfelt songs that sound great and grow on you with each listen as all his songs do.

Amazon.com

Though the arrangements stray from Lucinda Williams's motherlode blend of blues, country, and folk, West may well be her best album. It is easily her most musically adventurous, and often her most lyrically inspired. Williams's singing has never sounded better, from the aching tenderness of "Where Is My Love?" to the ravaged catharsis of "Unsuffer Me." New York producer Hal Willner, who has worked with artists such as Marianne Faithful and Lou Reed, enlists the support of eclectic progressives like guitarist Bill Frisell, keyboardist Bob Burger, and violinist Jenny Scheinman, along with harmonies from the Jayhawks' Gary Louris, to weave a subtly rich sonic tapestry. Much of the material was inspired by the death of Williams's beloved mother ("Mama You Sweet," "Fancy Funeral") and the bitter breakup of a relationship (the jagged-edged emasculation of "Come On," the repetitive incantation of "Wrap My Head Around That"), though "Are You Alright?," "Learning How to Live," and "Everything Has Changed" could reflect the aftermath of both. Other highlights include "Rescue," with a languid subtlety and ambient pulse reminiscent of Beth Orton, and the dreamy, wistful title track. Where Williams's music has long cut close to the bone, the best of West slices right through it. --Don McLeese

Maturity in a Musical Master.......2007-08-05

Very impressed with this CD. Entirely new to Lucinda Williams - purchased this CD based on a recommendation by Bill Flannagan, the music critic. This album is sometimes painfully sad, sometimes beautiful, to bear the pain. About death in many ramifications, it seems. One to keep, perhaps a classic (my rating is conservative). Well worth owning, if it suits you, a blend of folk, rock, and country. I enjoyed William's unique and beautiful voice, her mature and complex individual musical expression on the human condition, whether in the now or more universal.

Good crossover outlaw country/folk/pop.......2007-08-03

Lucinda hits hard -- she can be a little depressing. However, the intensity and feeling of her music is inspirational. It is good music.

Worth It!.......2007-07-30

As with all Lucinda Williams...this CD really grows on you the more you listen to it. I really like it.

I'm In Heaven When She Sings.......2007-07-30

Lucinda Williams has done some amazing work over a long career and she just keeps getting better and better. To my ears West just about the best thing she has ever done. She doesn't rock out a lot which suits me fine, because you really get to appreciate her skill with words and hear that voice...aaahhhh what a voice!

Enjoyable Americana Music.......2007-07-24

I first heard cuts from this album, on the "Imus In The Morning" show, earlier this year. He has such a great ear for music, and I liked what I heard on his show. The album is very earthy, and soulful. Lucinda Williams is a powerful singer/songwriter, and "West" is the perfect showcase for her talent. I would recommend this to anyone who enjoys soulful, Americana music.

Album Description

The masters of Symphonic Power Metal are back!

Symphony X are recognized by-and-large as one the most important acts in the worldwide metal scene. After the release of their hugely successful CD, The Odyssey - and after nearly five years - Michael Romeo and his band have returned with what is already being praised as their best work to date. Paradise Lost has all the trademarks that have come to be associated with Symphony X: Incredibly intricate and powerful, yet-melodic compositions that showcase every member's unrivaled technical skill as instrumentalists. However, once again it must be said that the spotlight is squarely on the ferocious vocal force of singer Russell Allen and the almost inhuman pyrotechnics of guitarist Michael Romeo.

The North American version of Paradise Lost features a fantastic foldout and diecut digipack that was designed by Warren Flanagan, who has done art-direction for major motion picture blockbusters such as I Robot, X-Men and Blade.

This is thee guitar release of the summer!

Customer Reviews:

"masterpiece" of power metal but certainly not prog metal.......2007-08-07

I felt a bit let down by it also in fact its the only Symph X CD I no longer own, I knew by the third play that I was not being entertained by it in the way Symph X can entertain me. Honestly I felt a bit shattered by it and to make matters worse many people are calling it a "masterpiece" maybe a "masterpiece" of power metal but certainly not prog.

Symphony XS is back! .......2007-08-06

Finally, after 4 years, Symphony X is back. While it is not their best record, Paradise lost is well worth adding to your collection. Well written and produced, the sound is awesome.

Wow.......2007-08-05

I've been listening to it for about a week now and can't believe how good it is. It's beautifully produced and musically genius. It is definitely a harder sounding album that former albums, both in terms of the "crunch" guitar sound and the vocal edge. Notably, it's very tight without too many tangential interludes, yet it still keeps SX's tradition of odd meters, very clever transitions, great melodies, and epic and powerful vocalization. Like many of the best albums out there, this one seems to require a few listens to pick up on the subtle cues and amazing music - which is great because I know it will age like fine wine. You won't get bored of this one anytime soon, and you may find it's immediately your fav SX album. Two thumbs up.

Outstanding! 5+ Stars.......2007-08-05

I opted to wait a bit before submitting my CD review. I like to give new music a few good listens to become acquainted with its contents. I recently attended the SymphonyX show in Portland. At the time I wasn't excited about Paradise Lost; probably because I was comparing it to older material. After seeing/hearing many of these songs performed live, I compiled my entire SX catalogue into an MP3 disc. After completing the entire disc while traveling on extended weekends, I realized just how incredibly powerful Paradise Lost is. Each song is full of precision and skilled musical craftsmanship.

This is without a doubt an outstanding group of songs by one of rock music's greatest musicians. From the opening moments of Oculus to the perfect Revelation, Paradise Lost should be considered a strong 2007 Grammy contender. Michael Romeo, Russell Allen, Jason Rullo, Michael Pinnella and Michael Lepond have created their most powerful release to date. Not a moment of fluff or filler here.

Trust me folks, there will never be another Symphony X. Enjoy them while you can. Newcomers to the band should enjoy everything from The Damnation Game forward.

WOW! Symphony X Has Their Masterpiece.......2007-07-29

Russel Allen is without a doubt one of the most powerful singers of our times, and Michael Romeo is pure genius in how he has crafted this album and he slays on his guitar! Every song is great and their sound is more powerful than ever before. They are the best progressive metal act today and now officially blow Dream Theater away....

Amazon.com's Best of 2001

The best soundtracks are like movies for the ears, and O Brother, Where Art Thou? joins the likes of Saturday Night Fever and The Harder They Come as cinematic pinnacles of song. The music from the Coen brothers' Depression-era film taps into the source from which the purest strains of country, blues, bluegrass, folk, and gospel music flow. Producer T Bone Burnett enlists the voices of Alison Krauss, Gillian Welch, Emmylou Harris, Ralph Stanley, and kindred spirits for performances of traditional material, in arrangements that are either a cappella or feature bare-bones accompaniment. Highlights range from the aching purity of Krauss's "Down to the River to Pray" to the plainspoken faith of the Whites' "Keep on the Sunny Side" to Stanley's chillingly plaintive "O Death." The album's spiritual centerpiece finds Krauss, Welch, and Harris harmonizing on "Didn't Leave Nobody but the Baby," a gospel lullaby that sounds like a chorus of Appalachian angels. --Don McLeese

Buy this.......2007-07-23

This album is almost as good as the movie. A good purchase whether you like bluegrass or not.

dead or alive.......2007-07-21

This motion picture soundtrack brings grins all around because each of the tracks associates so instantly with a scene from the uproarious film it graced with fine folk music, in the process generating something of a musical renaissance for those drawn to the genre.

This is pure, early-twentieth-century, down-south Americana. It would be hard to find a more dignifying and elevating anthology of music to represent that slice of American history. This music is laced with humor and irony, putting the lie to the impression many people have that it's practitioners and their folk come from a benighted subculture between the coasts and in a chronological backwater.

Listen and love it.

O Brother, Where Art Thou?.......2007-05-28

My 1-year old grandson goes to sleep listening to some of the songs on the album, unless he is bouncing up and down to the faster numbers. I have therefore listened to the songs many, many times, and enjoy them every time. They are easy to listen to, to sing along with and to rock the baby with!

MORE OF AN IMPULSE PURCHASE FOR ME.......2007-05-26

I regretted buying this after listening to it once. I haven't listened to it since and that's about three months ago. Simply put, without the movie to provide a context, the music itself doesn't sell itself. There are four cuts of 'I'm a Man of Constant Sorrow", two by the same artists which goes a long way to proving my point. I haven't seen the movie in a few years and I'm sure there's a logical reason for the song being repeated in the soundtrack that many times, but I can't remember what it is. Sometimes I like roots music with clear acoustic instrumental sounds and soulful voices. But as for an introduction to this type of music for a general listener, this is not the CD to get. It's mostly for the already converted.

Once an Outlaw, later a Highwayman, now an elder statesman, Willie Nelson joins forces with Merle Haggard and Ray Price (both of whom have recorded duet albums with Nelson) in a celebration of the classic country song. Everything about this is defiantly old school, from the production by veteran Fred Foster and the musical support from steel guitarist Buddy Emmons and Texas Playboy fiddler Johnny Gimble and vocal backing from the Jordanaires to songs from the likes of Harlan Howard, Leon Payne, and Lefty Frizzell. For all of the artists' generational ties, their differences are what distinguish the project: Nelson is the reediest and most conversational vocalist, Haggard the bluesiest; and Price remains the quintessential countrypolitan crooner. Whether they're harmonizing on Mickey Newbury's "Sweet Memories" or trading verses on Howard's "Pick Me Up on Your Way Down," the vocal blend suggests old friends having the time of their musical lives. Guests include Vince Gill (on "Heartaches by the Number") and Kris Kristofferson (on his Why Me Lord"), but a trio like this doesn't need much outside assistance. --Don McLeese

Let's be clear: Last of the Breed is a story - actually, a novel, if not an epic - unto itself. The title sums it up pretty well: On these two discs three classic performers, Ray Price, Willie Nelson, and Merle Haggard, band together on songs they've known and loved for years.

Their contributions don't need elaboration. Each is a legend. All three hark back to a time that's in some ways gone. When you consider the lives they've lived, the world that formed them as artists, and even the landscapes they knew as they began playing in beer joints and backwater clubs long ago, then the truth of those four words, Last of the Breed, comes clear.

Look a little closer, and they take on another reference, to the songs as well as to the giants who celebrate them here. Whether drawn from deep in the tradition, back from the well of Gene Autry, Lefty Frizzell, and Floyd Tillman, or picked from the more recent catalogs, this music conveys a feeling that might be mistaken for nostalgia but is in fact a timeless eloquence.

They don't write or sing `em like this anymore.

Great Country Music.......2007-07-12

This is truly the last of the breed of real country musicians.
There aren't many country pickers and singers left. All the "New Country" folks are just rock stars with a cowboy hat on. This is really good listening. Just relax, sit back and enjoy.

Last of the Breed - Well Done.......2007-07-03

This CD is a well rounded selection of music with three of the best artists to deliver it. When it comes to Country music, these three artists can give you the best there is. The production is first class and this is a big part of the sound. If you haven't purchased this album, do so. You'll love it.

The Title Says It All.......2007-06-28

Last of the Breed is the best of the best. The songs, words, music, and especially Willie, Merle & Ray you will simply & totally enjoy.

The rocks of this kins of music . .......2007-06-28

ANYTIME willie and ray have ever gotten together to record it has been a TREASURE for your ears . WILLIES VOICE WORKS WELL with any ray price style music . And vice versa . many a people will say oh waylon/ willie were the best together . And yeah they were very good . But for some reason these two know when to let the other shine and when it is time to carry a part in any given song .BETTER then any other two singers in any music format . Then THERE IS merle who is so good at what he does that people dont realize it is the music behind him that has made him shine .He knows so well how to use the band behind him it is awesome .Anytime you get a recording of merle you will see he knows how to use every bit player around him so well that it seems each are enjoying themself s so much that it just has to be great . But this IS ALMOST the last of the breed . This would have been the last of a breed if the three artists that were left out at least made a little showing on this recording. yes the other three that would have made this release complete would have been the 3 top guys left . GEORGE JONES / HANK JR / GENE WATSON . and these 6 are the last of the best of the best left touring . THIS LIST IS THE LIST OF ARTISTs THAT NO ONE WILL EVER FILL THIER SHOES .

Better in theory than in practice.......2007-06-23

What's not to like about this album? Great singers, old familiar songs, it seems like just my cup of tea. But, for whatever reason, this music just didn't "click" with me. After just a couple of listens, I found myself skipping over these CDs in my CD player. I realize that this review might not be very helpful to others because I can't manage to put my finger on what it is I didn't like about these CD - I just didn't. If you don't already know and love the individual material of all three of the artists, I suggest you try and listen to it before you buy it.

Danzig - The Lost Tracks Of Danzig.......2007-08-07

Being a huge Danzig fan since Danzig II - Lucifuge, I could not wait to get mny hands, on this "lost tracks, b-side" thing. I contains tracks from the beginning of the Danzig era, to this date. I was of course most looking forward hearing left over stuff, from the first 4 albums, and all I can say is, that I am NOT disapointed at all!!!!! Even the left over stuff, from Glenn's newer album are great, and I can't understand, why he didnt use them. Oh well, now they are out, on this great box, so If you love the music of Danzig, you will love the new album as well.

B Sides.......2007-08-02

is just like that, Danzig lose his inspiration so he is recycling, this is far the best album since IV, but is not new, so what you gonna do enjoy the devil's hymns

It's about time........2007-07-24

I've been waiting for something like this since Danzig 2. It has some amazing stuff. If you liked his first 3 (4?) albums you'll love this one. I rank em Danzig 1, Danzig 2, then this one.

Essential for FANS of Danzig/Two Horns UP!!!!.......2007-07-21

I say "fans", though it should appeal to ANYONE who likes dark rock-MeTal. It is GREAT to hear the "old-style" vocals/guitar sound on some unheard(by me) songs. Also, it is great that he didn't decide to stink up the collection with a bunch of CRUMMY DISCO SONGS(like off of "Blackacidevil"....c'mon, how insulting to fans THAT album was!) There are only honestly 2 clunkers on here(in my opinion) and one of them happens to be a CRUMMY DISCO REMIX of "Unspeakable"...the other is the tedious "Buick McKane", though I can see it's appeal to some people. No need to go into the various tracks, they've been well-delineated(though sometimes unfairly/erroneously) on other reviews. I just want to add my vote of EXCELLENCE!!!! And DON'T get any pre-concieved notions about "White Devil Rise"; if nobody told anyone the backstory, they'd never know that it is written in retalliation to remarks made by one of the most psychotic, racist PIGS in the history of earth! Something for everyone on here, from Glenn's BEST-ever ballad("Cold, Cold Rain") to just plain heavy ROCKin' tunes like "Soul Eater"...let me say that I've been rather ambivalent to his releases since #4(though I think #6 is a very strong album, despite the taint of electronica), but I am BLOWN AWAY by this collection!!!! And the cover of the booklet is SUPER-COOL! I imagine that SOME may find it "distasteful", but let's keep in mind Glenn's penchant for comic books, babes, and things wicked. TWO HORNS UP, GLENN!!!

this is true metal.......2007-07-19

what i like about danzig is that he doesnt repeat himself, for this reason this 2 cd set shows the progress that danzig made from the 80s till today my fav danzig era had always been the early 90s on this cd its not just the 90's or what ppl say that the classic line is the best that danzig had ever had the most powerful songs are all over the 2 cds i cant make a choice but i recommand you buy this 2 cds in order you can experince true metal.

A timeless classic.......2007-07-17

It is hard to believe that this record is almost 40 years old, but it is. And it couldn't have aged any better. It still sounds as fresh, creative, and innovative as it did back in the day. The seven-album run that the Moody Blues reeled off from 1967 to 1972 is quite stunning, and opinions are often all over the map as to what their best of those seven is, but in my mind, it is an easy question to answer. With all due respect to the other six albums, all of which are excellent in their own way, as well, the answer for me will always be In Search of the Lost Chord.

Comments on a few favorite songs.......2007-06-06

I am not going to offer up a review of the entire album. There are MANY talented folks here who have done a much better job of it than I ever could hope to, so what's the point? I'd just like to offer up my 2 cents on my favorite songs from this great Moody Blues work.

First off is John Lodge's classic, feel-good rocker 'Ride My See-Saw'. (This tune and 'I'm Just a Singer' frequently trade places as my favorite Moodies song). I might as well admit it right now: I am a HUGE John Lodge fan and he is my fave Moody. That will become glaringly apparent if you read any more of my Moody Blues product reviews. Am I the least bit biased towards this living legend? Not at all! While I am not totally sure of the exact meaning of the lyrics, on the surface RMSS seems to be rife with double entendres and sexual innuendo, at least that's what I've read many times. But knowing of JL's deep religious beliefs, I strongly guess that that's not the case at all. This song is just plain fun to listen and sing along to. John and Justin's great guitar work ain't none too shabbily showcased either. RMSS is John Lodge at his rocking best.

I am also a big fan of Ray Thomas' often overlooked (and in my opinon) under-used talents. His ode to 'Dr. Livingstone' is a cheery, cute song that I could listen to all day long while having a goofy smile on my face. Ray's next offering, 'Legend of a Mind' is a legend of a song, and perfectly shows off this man's awesome vocal skills, not to mention the fact that he can blow the living tar out of a flute. This song has the best series of build-ups (for lack of a better word) and crescendos of any song I have ever heard. (You'll have to over-look the fact that I am not at all musical nor versed in music lingo, so that's the best description I could give. I hope most will understand what I'm talking about). I can literally listen to this song over and over w/o growing tired of it. The subject matter of this song doesn't matter to me one iota. The melody, the beat, the musicianship, and John's fabulous high note harmonies all combine to make this song a pure delight to my ears.

Next on my list is Lodge's 'House of Four Doors'. I'll spare you the details of how great I think this song is. I'll briefly just state that HOFD is hauntingly eerie and beautiful all at the same time. Maybe- just maybe- I could have done w/o 'some' of the sound effects of the creaking door, but hey John didn't ask me for my opinion before including them. It really doesn't affect my overall opinion of this great song. Yes, it's a John Lodge tune, and yes I darn well love it.

I am ending my little synopsis with two songs from the sublime Justin Hayward.(BTW, I like him, too. He's my 2nd fave Moody). Firstly is 'Voices in the Sky'. I have to admit that it took me a while to really love and appreciate this one (I don't exactly know why) but it is a truly lovely song. This song DOES make me wonder what the birds could say to me if they only could. As usual, Justin does a superb vocal and the song fits him and this album really well. But.... my favorite Hayward tune on this record is by far 'The Actor'. In fact, it's one of my all-time favorite songs of his. Both the lyrics and the sound of this song are as timeless today as when JH penned it many years ago. Something in this song really strikes a chord in me. Perhaps it's the fact that we all tend to put on a good front for the world and get caught up in playing our little roles? I heard Justin sing this song live recently and I have to say the man's voice sounds just as good as it did way back when. He truly is a gifted singer, guitarist and performer.

Well, I guess I'm just about through telling y'all (I'm from the South, after all) about my favorite songs from ISOTLC. I hope this "review" makes someone want to go and listen to these songs (or the entire album) anew- or better yet- hear them for the very first time. Either way, I do hope you enjoy!

My personal favorite.......2007-04-15

I own 14 Moody Blues albums and this is my favorite one . The band's ability to learn 37 different instument including Mike Pindar's mastery of the mellotron is remarkable all in and of itself . The album contains my favorite Moody Blues song , Voices In The Sky . While this album never received the critical acclaim that was given to Days Of Future Passed , it was more like the other 5 concept albums . Yes , the material is some what dated , but , this is the begining of the art rock era . Any one who likes the band should own this .

almost perfect moody blues album! 4.75 stars.......2007-03-19

Though it doesnt contain a song like the epic beautiful "nights in white satin" the Moodies second album from 1968 is their most pyschedelic and solid album of their career. This album segues nicely into a track by track tour of what the end of pyschedlia and the beginning of progrock sounded like. There isnt really a song i dislike and this fits in nicely with the best of the post summer of love albums. Lots of flute mellotron sitars and instruments played by the band themselves. Lost chord is a very strong followup to days of future passed and exceeds it in material for me. Great acoustic guitars and truly great singing all mingled in with LSD musical interludes( though apparantly without drugs). A few moments recall early Pink Floyd late Beatles etc but the Moody Blues were a special band for a time-1967-1972 in my humble opinion. Their first three albums are all excellent but this is the one to get. This one seems heavily influenced by George Harrison Ravi Shankar- with most of the album flaoting by a in a mellow transcendental state. Great for evening listens sunday mornings and for contemplation.

House of 5 incredible musicians and songwriters.......2007-01-30

Locked in a studio for a few weeks, the Moodies come up with an "orchestral" sounding album. It's a little dated at times, but it's wonderfully spacey and good.

Imagine a whimsical, sunnier Nick Drake. Or perhaps a young Donovan for the 21st century. With his lithe, limber, and conversational tenor complemented by the subtle virtuosity of his acoustic guitar, the Dublin troubadour sustains an engaging intimacy even when his material seems on the slight side (more precocious than profound). Though his childlike innocence extends to the hand-lettered lyrics in the CD booklet, he invokes the literary influence of Saul Bellow and Paul Auster on "Put a Penny in the Slot." Much of this self-produced release finds Regan playing solo (often with double-tracked harmonies), with the spare employment of strings, piano, and percussion making their use all the more striking. An unlisted bonus cut seems to channel the range of Jeff Buckley. --Don McLeese

From Amazon.co.uk

From the delicate and deceptively intricate "Be Good or Be Gone" that inaugurates Fionn Regan's debut album, The End of History, it's apparent that his is a talent not to be ignored. Recalling any number of folkish predecessors--Bob Dylan, Jose Gonzalez, Nick Drake--Regan's finger-picked guitar work and warm, Damien Rice-like vocals flow through this entire project like meandering, golden streams. Mixing winsome melodies with emotive chords and quasi-poetic lyricism, Regan straddles the classic folk sound of the '60s and the contemporary neo-folk scene with bristling aplomb. Unlike many so called "new folk" heroes, though, Regan keeps his approach simple, varying his songs not with electronic beats or acidic guitar squalls but light embellishments such as brooding strings (see the dark, Gonzalez-esque "Hunter's Map") and subtle backing vocals (see "Black Water Child"). Though skeletal, Regan's songs create a dreamy, nostalgic ambience that successfully eschew cliché. Intimate and contemporary, universal and classic, The End of History is a triumphant and highly accessible first outing. --Paul Sullivan

Album Description

The community of musicians can be divided into two categories -- those who want to create and those who do so because they have no other choice. As he proves on his dauntingly mature, intriguingly nuanced Lost Highway debut, The End of History, singer-songwriter Fionn Regan clearly falls into the decidedly rarefied latter category.

The soft-spoken 26-year-old coaxes an intoxicating array of emotion and detail into his fragile-yet-gripping songs -- a body of work that's already elicited comparisons to forebears as varied as Nick Drake for his guitar playing and to Woody Guthrie for his wordplay. It's easy to understand why, given the filigreed acoustic finger-picking and raw lyrical stance of songs like the cinematic "Be Good or Be Gone" the menacing "Snowy Atlas Mountains" or the allegorical "Hey Rabbit" with its social conscience, songs that paint intensely vivid pictures -- so vivid, in fact, that Regan hesitates to elaborate as to their deeper origins.

He keeps the frills to a minimum on the dozen-song collection, getting his point across with little more than voice, acoustic guitar and piano (most of The End of History's songs were captured in one or two takes) he never gives the idea that he's practicing minimalism for its own sake. That comes into particularly sharp focus when one hones in on his guitar playing, a beguiling brew of rhythmically sturdy finger-picking (the backbone of "Hunters Map") and (as on the twinkling "Abacus"), lissome passages in which every note resonates with crystalline clarity.

send out a battalion...........2007-08-01

inches away from a live fionn regan, mop coiffed and cobbled in white patent leather, playing for about 100 people at schubas in chicago it dawned on me that i would never enjoy such a seat again...

if you like damien rice, blah blah blahhhhh...stop it. fionn regan is not damien rice. just in case that weren't clear, fionn has attached his initials in various species of tape to the wares he carries on stage, including three guitars, guitar case and hanky.

not that fionn doesn't beat his breast and tear his hair in his own irish way. he runs laps in the rainy day, sexually charged melancholia of mr. rice, but doesn't stay there for long. instead of a cynical and almost fatalistic anger, fionn emerges far more intact...he invites you into a bittersweet wanderlust and you want to join him ever so badly. in the end, this is the currency of young heartbreak--romantic or otherwise. he delivers, if not innovation, a stiff upper lipped laugh into the night that makes me want to laugh too, hardscrabble days be damned.

God Bless Computer Generated Recommendations!!.......2007-07-18

I was referred to Fionn Regan via similar artists recommendation (if you like ____, then you'll love _____) and am so thankful that I took a leap of faith on The End of History.

What I discovered was an alluring, delicate and emotional piece - an incredible journey that you will want to share after your first listen (hence this review). Like other sites that recommend similar artists, Fionn is often grouped with the legends (Dylan, Drake, Cohen) and today's singer-songwriters like Conor Oberst, Elliott Smith(rip) and Damien Rice... but Fionn also seems to be his own musician and while there might be some influence in his music, the album is totally unique.

Fionn's lyricism and blending of melodies stand out on several tracks. While "Be Good or Be Gone" seems to be the flagship song with an amazingly unique video (check it out), other tracks like "Hunter's Map," "Snowy Atlas Mountains," and "Abacus" are phenomenal songs that you will never tire of.

To wrap it up... The End of History is a versatile album you can play when alone on a cold, snowy day but also the perfect album to play when having friends over for dinner. You'll never have to get up to skip over a track... and at the end of the day, isn't that what we all want?
