5 out of 5 stars Admit it . . ........2007-06-20

You LOVED this CD in 1990. It was just good music that didn't take itself too seriously and it is still fun now. He's the one laughing . . . he made a mint off of it off of us young music lovers.

1 out of 5 stars Rip off of Queen/David Bowie's "Under Pressure".......2007-06-10

The only reason this piece of garbage singer is known at all is because he stole a beat, sound for sound, from a song written by Queen and David Bowie. If you listen to them both you will hear the exact same thing. AND WHAT DO YA KNOW! Queen and David Bowie were around long before this joke!

5 out of 5 stars Has its place in history.................2007-03-16

To all the snot nosed kids that listen to this for the first time and are just discovering it and think it is the greatest album of all time (that title probably would go to NWA's Straight Out of Compton), give me a break...... but to all of us late 20s-early 30s old timers, you know this album played in your boom box/car stereo around the clock. Hell, I still bump it sometimes in my Crown Vic sitting on 22s, heh. It still is catchy and everybody I know still sings along with "Ice Ice Baby" when it comes on, so act like you hate it, act like it is the worst album of all time, blah blah blah, but the next time it comes on at a party, you will fall right in with everybody else and sing along with it. Definitely has a place in history and I love instantly being mentally transported back to a simpler time in my life as a child when I listen to it. Every rap song samples these days, this album was made at the time all of that was starting, so give it its place in history and stop trying to compare it to anything made almost 2 decades later, give me a break. Word to your mutha!

3 out of 5 stars To the extreme past..................................2006-10-12

I recently dug up this cd from its resting place of 16 years. And I hate to say it, but this cd did not stand the test of time. And for that matter Ice hasn't much either. However this cd does bring good memories and for a cd I haven't heard I was surprised to hear myself rapping along. That's why this cd deserves 3 stars for at least the hit single and of course "Word to Yo Mutha". I would buy this cd if you love the 90's. Oh and give the other tracks besides the hit song a chance, there are some tracks you might dig, then again maybe not. So here is the list:

1. It was either U can't touch this or this jam. This was the soundtrack for summer 1990. For those that don't know the sample comes from Queen & David Bowies 1982 track "Under Pressure".

2. Vanilla Ice with a voice equalizer

3. A reissue track off the Ep "Hooked". Contains a sample of "Express Yourself" by NWA. Mostly a filler track, most often skipped.

4. A reissue title track off the Ep "Hooked". Not bad.

5. An upbeat pop track. Lacks originality, put good for laugh.

6. Heavy Madonna influence (Justify My Love style) and samples heavily Tone Loc beats. However saying all that this is one of Bside favs. It might have been a good single to release instead of "Play That Funky Music". I like this one.

7. Second single of the album. I know all the words to this song, so I have nothing bad or good to say about this track. 99% of the time I don't skip this track.

8. Underrated track. I'm a big Jackson 5 fan, and Vanilla Ice sampled yet another big name act and mixed with his ice style. I like the flow of the rap and the mix with Michael Jackson and the turntables...is beautiful. Also check out Naughty By Nature's "O.P.P." featuring Jackson 5's "ABC". This of course samples the 1977 hit "Dancing Machine" by the Jackson 5. Love this track

9. Even James Brown and the Ed Lover Dance theme can't save this song. Terrible song.

10. Rob Base & DJ EZ Rock influence. With help from a snippet of Thriller's Vincent Price laugh and a Beastie Boy rip off, the song has its moments. However after listening you really have this urge to hear "It Take 2".

11. Vanilla Ice with a voice equalizer again!

12. Ice Cold. Definitely left me ice cold. More samples of Rob Base & DJ EZ Rock, Pump Up The Volume, and etc. Skip this one too.

13. Rosta Man?? A spelling error perhaps. A white rapper now crossing over to Reggae. Sure as you can see on the liner notes he can't even spell Rasta. Good for a laugh.

14. Think LL Cool J's "I Need Love" without the talent, but boy does Ice have the vocal sounding very much like a cousin of LL's twice removed. Oh there is a pretty good rip off of someone who sounds like Kenny G. That is the wrong G to have on a rap album. Pretty bad.

15. Ice's attempt at beat boxing, you wish he had stopped after the reggae bit. After hearing this track I was glad it was the last song.

4 out of 5 stars Cool as Ice,Ice,Baby!.......2006-09-18

One memorable line from the Top 10 smash ICE ICE BABY is,"You got a problem,I'll solve it,check out the beat while the DJ revolves it!". "Word to your mother!",is awesome also. Robert Van Winkle,aka Vanilla Ice,was one of a handful of flash-in-the-pan white rappers that,back in 1990,competed with M.C. Hammer who had the #1 album that year. This was one of '90's biggest-selling albums as well and Van Winkle became a sometime movie star with 1991's Universal film COOL AS ICE. I have to admit,for a white man,Van Winkle is very rhythmic. We can say he's a caucasian M.C. Hammer.

1 out of 5 stars An Extreme (-ly bad) version of a Beatles Broadway musical.......2007-05-28

Let's face it; Extreme was really nothing more than a hair metal band; concerned more with appearance than with art. In fact, they were of the second generation of hair metal bands, which means they were really nothing more than an imitation of a hair metal band. I know, they had an amazing guitarist, but so did Dokken, White Lion, Ratt, and many others. Having a talented guitarist clearly would not exclude them from the characterization. Nuno, after all, had the prettiest hair of any of them.

Maybe I'm not giving Extreme enough credit. But I do give them credit for what they attempted to do with this album. It sounds like they were trying for a metal-sounding Beatles Broadway musical, which is quite an ambitious undertaking! Frankly, they weren't good enough to pull it off.

The album does have some redeeming qualities. The tone of the guitar is superb, Nuno's abilities definitely shine, and there are a few memorable songs, such as Am I Ever Gonna Change and Rest in Peace. Most of the other songs, however, are less memorable and really without much significance. The drummer plays fairly well, but the bassist is only average and can't really even be heard, and the vocals are terrible. I've never been impressed with the quality of Gary Cherone's voice and it's no more impressive here. Most of the lyrics are pretentious, intentionally abstract (as abstract as a hair metal band can be, I suppose), and ridiculous.

There are few bands that can pull off anything close to what the Beatles did. And, with or without having heard this album, it'd be hard to believe any proclamation that Extreme was a band who could.

5 out of 5 stars Simply Amazing Album!.......2007-05-10

In 1992, if an interviewer had asked who their most influential band had been, chances are that Pat Badger, Nuno Bettencourt, Gary Cherone, and Paul Geary of Extreme would answer with the 70s hard-rock band, Queen. With a flair for the dramatic, and the fluidity of vocals to back it, Cherone ably reproduced the presence that was Freddie Mercury - yet maintained a uniqueness all his own. Mixing one part Brian May and one part Eddie Van Halen, the blazing guitar riffs by Bettencourt set him apart from the pack of late 80s hair-metal, due mainly to his ability to aptly devise melody and funk rhythms throughout his work. Rounding out the quartet, Badger on bass guitar provided a strong undercurrent of sound and Geary was rock-solid in his timing and fill on drums. Based out of Boston, Massachusetts, the band had had some commercial success from their previous albums with "Play with Me" from Extreme I appearing in the movie soundtrack for "Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure," and "More than Words," from Extreme II: Pornograffitti, being broadcast incessantly over the radio waves. When they released their third album, "III Sides to Every Story," Extreme showed their roots with a concept album. Like Queen in previous years, they decided to create an opus, or story, broken into three sections labeled: "Yours," "Mine," and "The Truth." It was diverse, original, and stunning, and although not as successful as their second album, was masterfully crafted and has been heralded as their finest work to date.

All of the songs on this album aren't just good, they're damn good, but two that will push their way forward are "Peacemaker Die" and "God Isn't Dead?" With the former, strong rhythms and musical hooks are coupled with vocal harmonies distinctive to Extreme's overall sound, and are again reminiscent of Queen. Powerful lyrics with a dash of sound bite from none other than the late Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s "I Have a Dream" speech captivate the listener and evoke emotions of loss for such a great man. Although not a fan of musical overdubs, the orchestration of this song is layered and thick with such a good sound, it hardly goes noticed. As in previous albums, they blend smooth vocal patterns with lightning-fast guitar riffs, thumping bass, and crisp rhythms, but this time to produce a chilling view of how the world's leaders do not allow a dissonant voice of reason that is calling for peace to live. In sharp contrast to this, "God Isn't Dead?" starts softly, with just piano and vocals beseeching listeners to help Cherone through his drought of faith and bemoaning his fate in the world. Building throughout the song in an undertone, a full 70-piece orchestra supports the duo, which breaks from their previous album work of just keyboard and synthesizer. This shows a commitment to a full-fledged opus and not just another album. As the flutes, strings, and horns begin their slow, steady crescendo, the corresponding vocals follow to a harsh and hooking abrupt halt. Here, Cherone's passionate fortissimo, "Please tell me God Isn't Dead!" ends the song with the denouement of "I want to know..."where he is accompanied only by piano again. Haunting and beautiful, the song will stick with a person for years on end.

Overall, Extreme's third release shows their extreme (pun intended) versatility and daring, with a mix of hard rock, symphonic orchestrations, and melodic ballads to tempt the soul. Unbelievable vocal harmonies make this a delight to listen to, and the lyrical content is unsurpassed, as the listener will find himself or herself actually paying attention for a much-needed change. This is their best work without a doubt, followed closely by the funk-laced and rock-driven "Pornograffitti" following a close second; and an album highly suggested. It contains many of the band's "trademark" sounds and will most likely not disappoint. But, it is recommended to at pick III Sides up first, for a masterpiece work of music that will keep the listener enthralled for years.

3 out of 5 stars A logical destination.......2007-02-28

Extremes third LP was highly anticipated. After shifting serious units with their sophomore effort the band were on a roll. And on this album a number of Extremes points of reference are taken to their logical conclusion. Whether or not this works is very much a matter of taste. And since the band split the disc up into three conceptual sections, I'll do the same with putting into words my feelings towards different aspects of this disc.

The Rock - Warheads is a great heavy rocker. Anti-authoritarian, anti-militaristic and dead on musically. This is a great and appropriate use of the bands rocking sensibilities and a dead ahead follow on from When I'm President from Pornograffiti. The spirit infuses Rest in Peace and Politicalamity, obvious results of the social concerns that started to be heard in tunes like Money (In God We Trust).

The Ballads - Not so obvious here until you listen to how some of the songs are constructed. While this album isn't in posession of a More Than Words, the construction of many of the mellow cuts here do owe a big debt to the bands softer side. The fuller orchestration on some of the tracks are a true follow on from the soppy ballads from the bands previous disc.

The Brains - once again you get the feeling that this band, musically and intellectually, were way above the norm for the usually numbskull hair metal genre which they were so unfairly lumped in with. Approaching Queen in some ways, Extreme are here bursting at the seams of possibility and daring their fan base to follow.

The potential downsides here are a lack of getting down to business, not much headbang for your buck. And the pretentiousness that this release feels steeped in, well it's never gone down well with the hard rock community. And without the sappy ballads to get the little girls buying it the bands target audience for this album is hard to guage. After all, though Brian May all but publicly bequethed Extreme the crown worn by Queen, the fans of Queen were unlikely to appreciate a new band taking over the niche of their heroes. And all the pontificating does get overmuch very quickly.

Call me a philistine, but having quite enjoyed their first two, after hearing this album I didn't buy any more Extreme. Neither did most other people. A sadly derailed release from a multi-talented band.

5 out of 5 stars Extreme - One Of The Most Underrated Albums Of The 90's.......2007-02-23

"3 Sides" is simply put, one of the most underrated albums of the 90's, from one of the most underrated bands of the 90's. After the success of "Pornograffitti" the band could have played it safe and done a copy of what they had done before. Instead they put out this album that really moved the band into new territory. Unfortunately the album did not sell nearly as well as it's predecessor. I honestly think the material was too good (challenging?) for many of the people who just liked the band for "More Than Words". People just looking for top 40 radio fodder probably hated this album because it required the listener to really take notice and get into the nuances contained within. It also did not help that "3 Sides" release coincided with the whole grunge movement that killed many 90's era bands. Many of those bands deserved to be pushed aside, but Extreme was not one of them. The album is broken up into three sections. "Yours", which is mostly metal, hard rock and funk, "mine", which is more acoustic, folk, melodic oriented, and "The Truth" which moves into progressive rock territory. These guys really tried to cram a little bit of everything into this album and it is a resounding success. Nuno is brilliant on guitar and keys throughout the disc as is Charone on vocals. The rhythm section is also solid throughout. The lyrics are for the most part very good, touching on a whole range of subjects including political and world issues, religion, and relationships. Many of the lyrics on this album are more relevant today than when they were written. The album is recorded really well too. In fact it sounds better than many modern day productions, and is a great headphone album. If you are one of those people who wrote Extreme off as just another hair metal band with limited talent, check this album out. This album proves that Extreme were one of the best bands of the 90's, it is just too bad that the public didn't get it. Sadly Extreme's next album "Waiting For The Punchline" would be a big disappointment. I don't know if it was a reaction to the way "3 Sides" was received or record company pressure, but "Waiting" would be an attempt at a straight forward basic rock album and in my opinion was a big letdown from "3 Sides". The band would then break up and go their separate ways. Too bad, because it would have really been interesting to see where these guys could have gone had they continued down the path forged on the "3 Sides" album.

5 out of 5 stars Great rock album for non-rock fans!.......2007-02-19

i totally agree that a great track, don't leave me alone, right after the song 'god isn't dead' doesn't appear on the cd as it was on the cassette. not sure if the earlier releases has the track on. this album is by far one of the greatest rock albums for all time.. for me ... since i am not into rock, heavy metal, and alternative. i guess this album is unique since it has 3 parts and though the first part can be considered noisy, extreme delivered it nicely still lyrically and melodically which captured those who aren't digging this genre.

    Sir Edward Elgar was asked in 1895 to write a work on a biblical subject by the then-vicar of Bdarnich in Devon. The vicar suggested the story of Christ giving sight to a blind man, calling it Lux Christi. Elgar changed it to The Light of Life, and it was supposed to be the prelude to a trilogy of oratorios that never materialized. Even so, some of Elgar's strongest work is in this masterpiece. John Shirley-Quirk in the role of Jesus is a knockout, as is Arthur Davies in the role of the blind man. A genuinely great work. --Paul Cook

SAMPLER I is a wonderful way for someone to experience the impact of Marcey's music in a short period of time.

    I LOVE Marcey's compositions. Sampler I is a great introduction to her music. It just vibrates into one's soul. I play it at work to keep an aire of calm and harmony. It's truely amazing music!

    5 out of 5 stars Marcey Has Magic.......2005-09-18

    All of Marcey's music I've heard has been very interesting and listenable. I like every song on this disc and I'm not looking for professionalism. I'm looking for feelings, textures and variety. This disc is saturated with all this and more. I can't even pick favorites because they all have something to offer. This is ideal for a mystical healing.

    4 out of 5 stars Unique CD.......2002-05-02

    It's unfortuate that there aren't as many sampler's wavs to Marcey's music as there is to other more popular titles. Perhaps having these might sell more of her CD's. As it is, I purchased this CD to see what was out on the other CD's since I really didn't have a good idea of what the other music of her CD's were. The music gives an rough idea on what is on 2 of her CD's, with maybe 1 song from 2 other CD's. The music ranges from being really unique and sublime, to being somewhat amatuerish and needing more work. I'd have to say my favorites on this CD or "Inward harmony" and "Leaving the Physical". The only dissapointment was "Giza Pyramid". If she'd put all of her best music on this sampler, then I'd give it 5 stars...

    There are actually far better contenders for the position that Vanilla Ice now occupies: That of the least-regarded (critically, anyway) superstar of the pre-Alternative '90s. MC Hammer comes pirouetting to mind, for one. Where're his props lately? Busted out from under him. But Oho! Vanilla Ice and MC Hammer are now collected on the dual Back to Back Hits compilation--which is bargain-priced and supersedes To the Extreme. It's by far the better value. "Ice Ice Baby" is not a bad song--it's just a Queen song without enough Queen. But then, take a sweep at today's hip-hop arena and tell me the man (Van Winkle will be the name on his death certificate) wasn't prescient. In the end, he may be remembered as the proto-Puff Daddy. --Gavin McNett

    Vanilla and Snow should go on a tour together and call it the "WE SUCK HARDCORE!" Tour. What a slap in the face to rap this album is. Others are keeping it real, while Vanilla is keeping stupid and not in a good way too! Vanilla, you suck! Your album sucks, it sucks, it sucks, it sucks, and boy does it suck! What a sucky, sucky, sucky album. It just plain sucks!

    5 out of 5 stars Vanilla Ice deserves a bit more credit.......1998-08-07

    It is unfortunate that most music listeners fail to look beyond "Ice Ice Baby" when examining his music. He cannot be blamed for covering other artists, especially because this is a practice widely used today. To get a better idea of the talents of the Iceman, try listening to songs such as "Havin' a Roni," "Fame," "Go Ill," and "Now and Forever." As for "To the Extreme," it is a must-have that is certain to provide hours of entertainment and nostalgia. Vanilla Ice is an artist of many styles, and this album shows it. Any good music reviewer should know that in order to rate an album, it must first be listened to, and it seems that many reviewers fail to do just that. "To the Extreme," the best-selling rap album in history, is a great collection of music that can be enjoyed by nearly any audience. "Back to Back Hits" is a great album as well, but to call it a better value is a lie, be! cause purchasing and listening to it as a substitute for "To the Extreme" will merely deprive the listener of the opportunity to discover Ice's wide range of talents. Anyone who listens only to "Ice Ice Baby" and thinks he or she is a true Vanilla Ice fan or expert is really just a sellout.

    Although this is a decent "sound-alike" compliation album, I felt that this was a case of "bait and switch." The original artists are given credit, and the works are "used by permission," but the music is clearly performed by someone other than the original artists - and no credit is given to whoever is performing the tracks. I gave it 2 stars because it is very listen-able, but I prefer the "Dove Awards" compilation albums - with the original music by the original artists. This is one time I regretted buying on-line. If I had seen this in the store, I would not have purchased it.

    but if you're buying something, and have a few bucks more to spend, go ahead and buy this cd. it features virtually unknown songs, it seems. (or maybe just previously unknown to me) i find it kind of odd that it says it's by 'various artists', yet lists none... (or maybe that's just my computer being difficult) but if you have the extra cash, go ahead and buy it, a little extra music never hurt anyone.

      Tracks range from easy blues to all-out rockin'! This CD contains the range of musical styles that has made The Jerry Henry Band's high-energy live performances so memorable. Here, the band pays tribute to some of Henry's early guitar influences including Hendrix, Vaughan and Santana. All the selections are done in JHB's own unique rockin' blues style which is sure to have the listener coming back for more.

      5 out of 5 stars The debut album from The Jerry Henry Band is a hit!.......2003-11-19

      Variety, striking guitar work, and an attention to detail rivaling Stevie Ray Vaughan and Slowhand himself have created something great. The age of buying a CD for one good song is over: kudos to the Jerry Henry Band. The title track alone is enough to bring me coming back for more. One Way Ticket is a brilliant piece of work, carved out with obvious influences in mind, while Closing Time Blues is an instant blues classic with a great chord progression. The instrumental finale Return to Cero is (in my opinion) a musical masterpiece. Rock or blues, call it what you will, The Jerry Henry Band's "Rockin' The Blues" is a hit.
