If film and music fans sometimes wonder why soundtracks are often little more than pastiches of past pop hits and chart flavors of the moment, it's largely due to the blockbuster success of releases like this collection from 1987's surprise Patrcik Swayze/Jennifer Grey romantic hit. The film's retro-romantic concerns came shrewdly wrapped in a (largely manufactured) dance craze conceit tailor-made for such pop chestnuts as the Ronettes' "Be My Baby," the Zodiacs' "Stay," and the Five Satins' "In the Still of the Night." Mickey and Sylvia once again argued that "Love Is Strange"--if not quite as strained as Swayze's own attempt at balladry, "She's Like the Wind." Eric Carmen's "Hungry Eyes" showcased the former Raspberries leader to good effect, but the real soundtrack sweepstakes winner here was the Jennifer Warnes/Bill Medley duet "(I've Had) The Time of My Life." That performance not only won the Best Original Song Oscar the following year, but became one of the era's most performed songs and a ubiquitous radio staple. --Jerry McCulley

A Nice Album........2007-01-26
It really feels good to have this album. I know this should come with the hits not included in the first volume but it's nice. This is a nice addition to the soundtracks collection.
Still love the movie ... still love the soundtrack.......2006-11-03
"Dirty Dancing" is still one of my favorite movies of all time. It managed to have a plot and wonderful music. You just can't sit still when this music is playing.

While Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap sounds like every other AC/DC album, it is distinguished by a lyrical puerility spectacular even by Bon Scott's standards. Two tracks--"Love at First Feel" and "Squealer"--are ruminations on the morality of sex with schoolgirls. "Big Balls," ostensibly a narrative from the perspective of an aristocrat socialite, is actually a somewhat labored excuse for the band to chant "We've got big balls." This juvenile posturing was, to a large degree, AC/DC winding up their burgeoning foreign audience by playing to stereotypical expectations of Australians. On Dirty Deeds, however, AC/DC try too hard. Only on "Ain't No Fun (Waiting Round to Be a Millionaire)" is Scott's laconic wit deployed to real effect: the sheer glee in the line "Get your fuckin' jumbo jet off my airport!" is almost worth the album's purchase price. --Andrew Mueller
Album Description
AC/DC's 1981 album digitally remastered and reissued in a special digipak plus a 16 page full color booklet containing all original album art, many unpublished photos, classic memorabilia and new 2003 liner notes. Epic.
Customer Reviews:
It's Bon Scott for Christ's sake!!!.......2007-07-27
No review does any AC/DC album justice. Leave the art to Da Vinci and the rock to AC/DC. It's all about fun.
I hate the song Big Balls.......2007-06-27
Everything on this album is fantastic except for Big Balls. How that song ever became a single I will never know.
Back in Black was great, but I prefer Bon Scott's lunatic rants on their earlier records........2007-06-13
I don't think this is really a 5-star record, but it's worth 5-stars to hear Bon Scott's barking about his "big balls" and his willing to play a hit man using 'high voltage'. Although this band is not a punk band, they are one of my all-time favorite punk bands, because they have the spirit. Bon Scott was so original and so amazingly wild.
Good Music.......2007-05-27
AC/DC stormed on the U.S. music scene with Highway to Hell. They toured the country opening for other guitar bands like Kiss. When we found out that AC/DC already had several albums previously released in Australia, well, we were just thrilled. This was one of those albums.
All of these songs are excellent songs with catchy rhythm tracks. The lyrics are attractive to the testosterone laden teenage boy: the title track, Big Balls, Rocker, etc... The chorus of Problem Child was one of the anthems of my teenage years.
What I like most about this band and this CD is Malcolm. He lays down some cool sounding rhythms that are fun and relatively easy to play. I got the tablature from the internet and worked my way through all of these songs. Friday afternoon I like to put this in my CD player and crank up my Seymour Duncans and play along.
Fantastic record but..........2007-02-16
What a bummer, the Australian Release of this record had the one song that really capped off this album. That song was of course, Jailbreak. It was the last song on the record.
It appears to be missing here! Not good. How can you take an absolutely brilliant record like this one and leave off its crowing glory. Jailbreak is one of the Bon Scott era trademark AC/DC songs. Not Impressed with this omission! This is not good. Also the cover is different. The original cover had the closeup of the parrot tattoo on Bon Scott's arm while Angus flipped you the bird in the background (irony?). This new cover makes it look like a Duran Duran record.
I always felt that this record was one of the major Bon Scott era records, along with TNT, Let There Be Rock, and Highway to hell (not just in sales, but in consistency, quality of music and lyrics). Dirty Deeds (first song) and Jailbreak (last song) made it a killer album. My personal favorite song was Ride On.
Definitely a defining album in the AC/DC catalog and one which you should seek to have because even now, 30 years later, it still sounds like the top notch record it was back in the day. It rocks. And remember, if it ain't loud, it's not on...

At a time when experimentation is taboo in most overground rap, that's all Outkast seem intent on executing. Firstly, this double CD has no cohesive link, other than the fact that it sounds like a pair of solo albums stitched together to demo exactly how Andre's yin works to augment Big Boi's yang. Andre 3000's Love Below disc rates as the more eclectic of the two, given that he's turned in his emcee credentials to become a full-on funk-soul-jazz vocalist who mostly sings about items of love ("Happy Valentine's Day"), carnal lust ("Spread"), and female adoration ("Prototype"). Minus the big band schmaltz of "Love Hater" and cheesy cover jobs ("My Favorite Things"), Andre's disc is sick (meaning great). As is to be expected, the Big Boi disc is less arty, more gangsta and worldly, and features the less-progressive guest raps of ATL crunk purveyors Lil' Jon and The Eastside Boyz ("Last Call") and Jay-Z who rhymes the hook on "Flip Flop Rock". Unlike Big Boi, Andre keeps his collabos to a minimum, once crooning alongside Norah Jones on the cool yet sappy "Take Off Your Cool", and once with Kelis. Boi fulfills his Dungeon Family duty with flying colors by flipping some dirty southern up-tempo raps over electro beats on "GhettoMusick". By the time Cee-Lo sermonizes on "Reset", Speakerboxx and Love Below rate mostly as majestic and inspiring, with the remaining 23 per cent being just plain incredible --Dalton Higgins
Customer Reviews:
Andre was great but Big Boi was questionable.......2007-06-04
I think that Outkast's Love Below/Speakerboxxx is unfairly bashed. Andre 3000's album was very innovative. Of course its not a hip hop album but its a creative album with hip hop elements added to it. When any great artist wants to break free from the tedious trend of rap or they just dont want to be confined to just hip hop only they make albums like The Love Below and Electric Circus. The only down side of this project is Big Boi's side Speakerboxxx. Standout Tracks on The Love Below: HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY(crazy), SPREAD, PROTOTYPE, SHE LIVES IN MY LAP, HEY YA(before it got played to death by radio), ROSES, BEHOLD A LADY, DRACULA'S WEDDING, MY FAVORITE THINGS(even though its an instrumental Andre hooked it up) and A LIFE IN THE DAY OF BENJAMIN ANDRE(100 bars without slipping a step. FIRE!). Filler: Love Hater(awful) and Pink And Blue(not horrible but i cant get into it at all. Bottom Line: Andre 3000's The Love Below puts Andre above the average just by creativity alone. Not a dull moment on this side of the album. Standout Tracks for Big Boi's Speakerboxxx: GHETTO MUSICK, THE WAY YOU MOVE(before the radio killed it), WAR(Big Boi dropped some gems on here. I'll give him some credit), KNOWING, FLIP FLOP ROCK and RESET. Filler:Unhappy(garbage), Bowtie(what the ? is this?), The Rooster, Tomb Of the Boom(all those people on it and it still stunk),Bust(Killer Mike's verse was cool but the song is still suspect) and Last Call(the worst song on here and was Lil Jon on the hook necessary?). Bottom Line: Big Boi's Speakerboxxx is an obvious rush job. Besides the songs mentioned as standouts, the rest of the album is as bland as wheat bread. As a whole The Love Below/Speakerboxxx should not be missed by any OutKast fan. Andre 3000 side alone makes this a must have.
Best Album Ever!!!.......2007-04-13
These are my favorite albums of all time. These albums completely changed me and my prospective on the world. Once I finally got into this double album I felt that anything was possible. It took me about four listens all the way through both discs to really wrap my mind and spirit around it and truly feel how ridiculously amazing and ground breaking this album really was. If OutKast could put so much of their heart and soul forth and put together such a perfect funky, soul, ride of a double album and still teach, move, and inspire so much than there is no telling what I or anyone else could really do. These albums were the first and only "Rap" album to date to ever win the Grammy for Album of the Year in 2003 , but these albums are so much more than "Rap" albums. As a matter of fact Andre 3000's disc "The Love Below" has only four rap verses on it (three by him, one of which goes for the entire length of a song on "A Life in the Day of Benjamin Andre (Incomplete") and one by Big Boi). These albums perfectly meld together every genre, feeling, and vibe without taking one millisecond for a breath of air. These albums can be a little hard to keep up with, but if you let Big Boi and Andre 3000 pull you through their kaleidoscope world at their own break neck speed you will not be sorry. Every single song on both discs are amazing, no need to skip. Both discs are completely different Big Boi's disc "Speakerboxxx" is just so perfectly cool and straight up playarific and Andre's album is like nothing you have ever heard (I 100% guarantee that). These albums sound like they fell off a comet from outer space, because they can't possibly be from this planet. By the end of these albums you will be saying stank you smelly much OutKast, stank you smelly much (once you listen to these albums you will understand what I just wrote and I guarantee that you will at least think that).
P.S. It took me four years to get to writing this review. But I wanted to make sure I did these albums justice and listened enough to know every nook and cranny(although every time I listen I hear something new) and I also make sure I described it as best as I could. Although I could describe it a million times better, I needed to get this up already.
3 stars for tlb ;; 5 for speakerboxxx.......2006-12-21
the love below was okay, but not really my style. if you like more r&b, or slow rap songs, you will probably prefer this cd. i prefer big bois cd much more. i like "harder" rap and all the guest stars. this is still a great collection of songs, and deserved all the nominations it received.
Rap isn't what it used to be, but these two will continue to carry it a long way.......2006-10-23
This double album (one disc by each member), is simply one of the greatest artistic achievements rap has ever seen. You just can't sit down anymore and come up with something like "Happy Valentine's Day" or "She's Alive" in 5 minutes. It takes a brilliant mind to create rap music that is as deeply enchanting as this.
The best Outkast's Album.......2006-08-28
I have been an Outkast fan for almost 10 years. I have got every album they released since Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik (which was hard to find in France), released in 1993-1994 in France.
According to me, this double album is their best, even better than Atliens, their second album, which was my favourite before I hear Speakerboxxx / The Love Below.
The strength of this double album is the diversity in music style : hip hop, rnb, jazzy, soul... The overall quality of "The Love Below" sounds higher to me, but Speakerboxxx features some masterpieces like "The Way You Move", "The Rooster", "Flip Flop Rock"...

Twenty years of Dirty Dancing!.......2007-05-03
The Vestron film DIRTY DANCING is already twenty years old,in the aspect of production. August 14 marks the twentieth anniversary of its theatrical release. This CD features at least most of the material from the two soundtrack albums,including MORE DIRTY DANCING. The most memorable track,of course,is the Bill Medley/Jennifer Warnes duet (I'VE HAD THE)TIME OF MY LIFE. For more information,chack my review of the DIRTY DANCING soundtrack CD.

Amazon.com
A grizzly-bear guitar tone and diamond-hard riffs are the strongest cards of this former Albert Collins and John Mayall sideman. Montoya turns them in often on these 11 tunes, right from the opening "Last Dirty Deal," which absolutely roars, to the climactic final solo of "There Ain't No Brakeman on This Train," which concludes the album with a flourish of six-string ferocity. Even the ballads, like "How Do You Sleep at Night," scream with edgy intensity. That's partly because producer Paul Barerre of Little Feat succeeded at capturing the essence of Montoya's live sound, but mostly because Montoya's mentor Collins put his fiery brand on his apprentice's style. It still burns, six albums into Montoya's solo career--especially when he's covering Collins's "Put the Shoe on the Other Foot," a funky shuffle full of bellowing sustained notes and stiletto melodies that reply to his singing. That song's declamatory style also serves Montoya's narrow vocal range well. And while his lyrics occasionally stumble into blues clichés--falling tears, dirty deals--his playing is unfailingly eloquent. --Ted Drozdowski
Album Description
Since stepping out as a bandleader in 1993, Montoya released five solo albums and performed non-stop at clubs, concert halls and major festivals all over the world. At every show, fans' jaws dropped, and critics raved about Montoya's mind-bending guitar licks and fervent vocals. "The fiery blues that issue forth from Coco Montoya's guitar are awe-inspiring and boogie requiring," says The Village Voice. With his new CD,
Dirty Deal (joined by his friends from
Little Feat), Montoya turns up the intensity with another dose of his feral, soul-stirring music.
On
Dirty Deal, Montoya, along with his road-tested, red-hot touring band, once again uses blues as a blasting off point for his emotional, soulful music. With his icy-hot guitar playing and his passionate, unaffected vocals, he attacks each of the 11 songs with deep feeling and ferocious energy. Montoya's friends, Little Feat members Paul Barerre, Kenny Gradney, Richie Hayward and Bill Payne, add their unique talents to the mix as well. Produced by Barrere and engineer Roger Cole, every song on Dirty Deal--the rockers as well as the ballads--burns from start to finish. Montoya brings all the unbridled force of his acclaimed live shows into the studio for a foot-stomping, guitar-fueled ride. Dirty Deal is Montoya's rawest, most stripped-down and impassioned recording to date.
Customer Reviews:
Gotta Mind to Travel is much better.......2007-07-20
If you have heard "Travel" and you are looking for something completely different, this might work for you. The direction was a little too different for me.
Predictable, but worth a listen.......2007-07-18
I've been a Coco fan for many years and truly appreciate his soulful voice and guitar chops. Dirty Deal is a solid offering from Coco, but as I ssaid in the title, the song are a little predictable and not quite as dynamic as some of his earlier offerings. Don't get me wrong, it's still an enjoyable listen, just less poignant than the older stuff.
3.5 stars
Dirty Deal, Coco Montoya.......2007-07-02
I'm not a huge fan of this music genre. That said this is a solid effort by Montoya. It met my expectations.
review of album.......2007-05-15
In my opinion- The album is recorded very well . The vocals are soulfull ,excellent style blues delivered with heart . The guitars' tone sounds better than some of his other albums . It has bite . I'd like to hear him really cut loose though ,he's probably capable of much more .
Coco Montoya - Dirty Deal.......2007-03-22
My first Coco CD. First heard him play on a track on Tommy Castro's PainKiller CD (a must have). That was enough for me to buy Dirty Deal. The title track is killer. The whole CD gets better with each listen. Listening with headphones reveals some subtle rhythm tracks from time to time. Definately planning on giving his previous recordings a listen.

Despite its title title, this is not a soundtrack for the Idlewild movie--almost no songs appear in the film. Instead, the tunes seem inspired by Idlewild's narrative themes. Outkast extends the eccentric streak that began on Stankonia and continued through The Love Below/Speakerboxxx. Fans of that last album may enjoy Idlewild's continued eclecticism, especially from Andre 3000, who seems to be moving further away from "rap" every moment toward some bizarre love child of Prince and Melvin Van Peebles. A song like "Mighty O," which actually features both Outkast members rhyming, is a refreshing throwback to the duo's earlier days, but Idlewild is mostly divided between songs from Andre and Big Boi, with few points of intersection. By far the strangest Outkast album they've ever released--and this is saying a lot--Idlewild is a heady, dizzying trip. Awkwardly disjointed at times, it undeniably certifies the group as one of the most adventurous that hip-hop has ever seen. It's not easy to love but it's hard not to respect. --Oliver Wang
Customer Reviews:
Good songs, but where's the soundtrack?.......2007-07-01
The movie of "Idlewild" itself had over 25 songs in it. So I didn't expect the soundtrack to have all the songs from the movie. But the weird thing is that there are actually 25 tracks on the CD, but only 7 of the songs are from the film! The soundtrack is still well worth the purchase. Listed below are the consistencies and the missing songs from the film.
The only tracks that are included on the CD
which are also in the movie are:
1. Morris Brown (Big Boi, with Sleepy Brown & Scar)
2. Chronomentrophobia (Outkast)
3. Makes No Sense (Outkast)
4. PJ & Rooster (Outkast)
5. Mutron Angel (Whild Peach)
6. Greatest Show on Earth (Macy Gray and Outkast)
7. When I Look in Your Eyes (Outkast)
The following songs are from the film, but are not included on this soundtrack and are available on other albums (as indicated).

Outkast takes a risk - and wins!.......2007-04-09
Okay... so the critics don't like it. Big deal! Outkast did an amazing job blending different musical styles and they've created a fun musical that is great when I'm driving and wonderful for swing, too!
While I'm at it, the movie is also 5 stars and worth every minute. Andre3k actually stretches by portraying an uptight shy man, not his usual persona. Both the CD and the movie are a fun romp!

Dissapointing But Still Solid (Rating: 7 out of 10- -3.5 stars).......2007-03-04
Outkast is probably one of my most influentual groups to come out of the hometown of ATL. That being said, this album was a slight dissapointment from all other Outkast albums that I've heard. Being based off the movie "Idlewild" I figured this would be a nice album in connection to the movie it was based on. Like a lot of people noticed, this album is like "Speakerboxxx/The Love Below". In fact it's a little too much like it (I'm suprised it wasn't a double disc as well). With Andre 3000 doing more singing, he sounds a little off with his vocals. I understand that he was experimenting with his singing vocals on "The Love Below", but I just wasn't feeling it on "Idlewild". Newer fans od Outkast (post "Stankonia") will like it, but those who have been down since "Southernplaya..." will be scratching their head. Nown old fans feel relieved when they hear Andre spit some rhymes, like on "Hollywood Divorce" and "Mighty O", two of the best songs on this album. Personally this is the Andre I wanted to hear. If I wanted to hear him sing, I would have stuck with their double disc.
As for Big Boi, he does a good job pulling his weight on his solo tracks. Another favorite song on here was "The Train", that was done by him solo. His style really hasn't changed much since the last album, which is actually good for me. He can still pull some dope rhymes. Some of his solo songs I wasn't feeling as well, like "Morris Brown".
Overall this is a solid album to me. Not as good as other Outkast albums, but it's still good. I just don't like the fact that there are a bunch of Big Boi and Andre solo songs with some of the songs they are on together (about three total), and then called an Outkast CD. As I said before, most of their previous albums they were rhyming toghether and very little singing (i.e. "Funky Ride" & "Liberation"). Also I found there were very limited guests from the Dungeon Family (except for Sleep Brown, Killer Mike, Khujo from Good Mob), as well as others like Macy Gray. I still love Outkast as one of my favorite groups, and how much sucessful they have became, especially with a good movie along with this. But if I had to choose their worst album, it would be this one. But thats not saying much, because all their albums are worth hearing.

Album Description
OutKast has almost singlehandedly defined the sound of Atlanta rap. Tongue-flippin', rhyme-spittin' and Cadillac-ridin', all with a Southern accent, Big Boi and Dre have proved tobe the South's ideal MCs. ATLIENS continues in the same vein as Outkast's 1994 debut, SOUTHERNPLAYALISTICADILLACMUZIK, with producers Organized Noize back to accompany the duo's laid-back flow. Big Boi and Dre proclaim to prove a point with every rhyme, never wasting a line. They like to think of themselves as outcasts from the hip-hop community--aliens,so to speak. Their tracks have an outer-space feeling to them--a feeling that, ironically, has warmed the community right up to them. They're so out, they're in.
Customer Reviews:
Outkast's often forgotten classic sophomore joint..............2007-03-13
Outkast dont get enough credit for ATLiens. This joint dropped in 1996 at the height of the East Coast/ West Coast rap beef. They had the balls to be different but still maintained their dopeness. This joint was and still is light years ahead of the competition when it comes to artistic vision, flows and beats. Bow Down!

Classic...'nuf said .......2007-03-07
I have always stated that this is in my top 5 list of classic hip hop albums. In my opinion, this is Outkast's best cd. Love it.
Outkast....ATLiens.....What.....Enough Said...........2007-02-23
Outkast! The best of the best, this is my fourth copy of this CD, it never gets old at all, you can put in ATLiens and just ride out all day, all night! 13th Floor/Growing Old, that's some real stuff this whole CD is real, this is when Outkast was not concerned about being politically correct or appealing to everbody i.e. the pop community. This is probably their greatest CD ever, it actually a toss up between Aquemini and this one. You will not be disappointed with this at all! This is their best works here!
...~ATLiens~..........2007-02-18
This CD is tight on all levels. Beats, Lyrics, Production. It's all good. If you don't got it, pick it up. Outkast is called Outkast because they are different than other rappers, different than any artist of any genre for that matter. I don't see any of their CD's as being their best, because all their CD's are their best. It is their second CD, but it sounds like it could have been made this year. Andre paints pictures with his words, he's got an unseen imagination, and he's a true artist. Big Boi has real tight flows. Pick this up for sure, You definately wont be disappointed if you like that real rap music and have respect for creativity. ~If you like the style they got on this, Aquemini has a similar style. So get that too.~

Wow this is crazy 2 b the 1st I got from them it's very very good I like it a lot expect 1 song Decatur Psalm idk about that song but every other song is hot I never new there where so good till I just needed a new cd cuz hip-hop is ok now so I just thought about going bac in time and a friend recommend this cd it has every type of song on it so u don't need 2 switch atrtist to get a taste of different types of stories this has it all but if there is n e 1 out there who tell me which cd 2 get next please do hit me up till then I am just chilling with ATLiens

Album Description
Set against the decadent glamour and escalating danger of revolution-eve Cuba, Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights re-imagines the 1987 film phenomenon from an exciting new perspective. Havana Nights tells a timeless story of a young woman's discovery of love, sensuality and independence - but with a sizzling style and rhythm all its own. In planning this new chapter in a beloved franchise, Artisan Entertainment and Miramax Films have put together a team of creative dynamos from the worlds of film, music and dance. Among them: maverick independent producer Lawrence Bender (Pulp Fiction, Good Will Hunting); executive producer Sarah Green (Frida); Academy Award. winning screenwriter Ron Bass (Rain Man, My Best Friend's Wedding); director Guy Ferland; screenwriter Pamela Gray (A Walk on the Moon); choreographer Joanne Jansen; music industry legend Clive Davis, whose hot J Records imprint will release the soundtrack; acclaimed actor Diego Luna, a rising star following his performance in the sexy sensation Y Tu Mama Tambiin; and, in what promises to be a breakout role, gifted young actress Romola Garai (recently seen in Nicholas Nickleby). The resulting film is certain to give audiences - from newcomers to those who cherish the first Dirty Dancing - the time of their lives, and then some!
Customer Reviews:
Dirty Dancing - Havan Nights Soundtrack.......2007-04-07
Purchased for my daughter and myself after seeing the film. It is a lively mix of sultry, sensual salsa music which gets the feet moving and the singing and body going too! Exciting! Motivating! Fun! Not just for latin music lovers but for people who love life and enjoy being ALIVE!!!!!
Right up there with Otmar Liebert with Nouveau Flamenco and The Gypsy Kings to get the juices flowing and the body grooving to the music! We love it!
not good.......2007-03-13
These songs are cheesy and not even close to good latin dance music
Let the rhythm take you away.......2007-03-08
Was your foot tapping as your watched the movie? Even if you didn't like the film buy this CD and let the lating rhythm take you away.
Havana Nights.......2007-02-08
I did not care for the movie Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights but the soundtrack is AMAZING. It has everything from slow dancing to fast step dancing type of music. I would tell anyone who loves Latin music that this soundtrack is a must have.
Very Impressive.......2007-01-27
I was very impressed with this CD. When I watched the Havana Nights, the thing that captivated me was the MUSIC. This soundtrack had all of the best songs from the movie in it! My favorites:
-Dance Like This
-Satellite (both versions)
But it is hard to pick favorites, because all the songs are good. If you found yourself wanting to get up and dance when you heard the music in this movie - DEFINITELY buy the soundtrack. It'll be a great addition to any collection.

Ludacris doesn't pull out any real surprises here, but he also wouldn't have lasted this long if he didn't have a talent for consistency. What's missing here are big singles. His first attempt, "Money Maker," was too color-by-numbers. There's nothing on Release Therapy that achieves the anthem status of older Ludacris singles like "Stand Up" or "Pimpin All Over the World." Yet, even lacking a stand-out radio hit, Release Therapy is a satisfying listen, working what's now become a standard blend of playa/pimp songs ("Girls Gone Wild") and a few trap anthems ("Grew Up a Screw Up") and dispensing grown folk wisdom ("Freedom of Preach"). Along the way, he manages to take a slap at former protégé Chingy ("Tell It Like It Is"), rap about young mothers with Mary J. Blige on "Runaway Love," and hold it down for brothers in lock-up alongside Pimp C, Beanie Siegel, and C-Murder on "Do Your Time." Though not spectacular, Release Therapy stays the course for Luda to continue ruling as the Mouf of the South. --Oliver Wang
Customer Reviews:
Mediocre release.......2007-06-05
Before you click no read it first. Ludacris has made two good albums in his career which are Back For The First Time and Word Of Mouf. After Word Of Mouf he dropped back to back garbage with Chicken & Beer(his worst album) and The Red Light District(runner up). This album is a little bit better than both of them but its also not worth the excess hype around it. The Good: The intro is not bad plus its leads to one of the better songs on this album Grew Up A Screw Up. Jeezy's verse stunk to high heaven but Ludacris held it down. Then Luda teams up with Field Mob on the dynamite Ultimate Satisfaction. Tell It Like It Is, War With God and Slap is Ludacris at his best and for somebody who says he has no beef with T.I, this verse from War With God says otherwise: /Do like your song say(Be Easy) or shut the f*** up/. Runaway Love was alright even though its probably the reason why this album has so much acclaim. The Bad: Money Maker was a bad first single. Even though the beat is not bad its still a rank club single. End Of The Night(featuring Bobby Valentino) is a cheesy song for the ladies that is not as bad as the song that comes after it(Woozy) but its just as forgettable, Mouths To Feed is flat out boring and Do Your Time(featuring Pimp C, Beanie Sigel and C-Murder)is just a depressing as Mouths To Feed. The Ugly: Girls Gone Wild is probably the worst song Ludacris has ever made next to Hoes In My Room and he sounds like he needs to clear his throat badly. Woozy is the worst song for the ladies that Luda has ever made since Splash Waterfalls and R Kelly's hook that goes /but its cool cause I've always wanted to go down on a girl that reminds me of me/(????)is just as creepy as it is confusing. Bottom Line: Ludacris's Release Therapy is probably the most overrated album of the year next to Busta Rhymes The Big Dud. The songs that I mentioned in the good section are the only songs that give this album some replay value. The rest of this album is duller than an episode of Mad TV. Now you can click no.
3-1/2 stars -- Good, but really not much more than a contract fulfillment.......2007-05-23
Ludacris has been on the mainstream side of things for about seven years and he already has five albums out, which makes me wonder if this is his way of pleading, "WILL YOU LET ME OUT OF MY CONTRACT ALREADY???" And as far as released singles, it seems that the same thing always happens: first, there's the leadoff single (which goes without saying); then a month or so later comes two or three singles at once: one for the radio (in this case, "Runaway Love"), and the rest up for battle for the top spot on the Sucker Free Countdown. But Release Therapy pretty much contains what we'd expect from Luda.
Actually, I take that back. Many of the songs on here are storytellings, and fortunately, Luda is better at it than he used to be -- well, most of the time, anyway. He's fine when he tackles the topic of child abuse on the aforementioned "Runaway Love" (with Mary J. Blige). There are also a few more tracks that feature guest rappers that sound better than they usually do, like Young Jeezy ("Grew Up a Screw Up") and Beanie Sigel, Pimp C and C-Murder (the appropriately titled "Do Your Time"). But Luda's foray into gospel, "Freedom of Preach", is pretty okay.
If songs-with-a-message aren't your flavor, there are also several selections on here to bump to, especially the first single "Money Maker" (Luda even instructs you to do just that in the second verse). "End of the Night", the necessary song with Bobby Valentino on the hook, is also pretty good, as is "Tell It Like It Is", which discusses record label politics.
There ARE a few more slip-ups, though. "Girls Gone Wild" is fast-forwardable, and "Mouths to Feed" is hard to get into. R. Kelly's chorus in "Woozy" that features "I always wanted to go down on a girl that reminds me of me" is too bizarre to even try to figure out; and in "Ultimate Satisfaction" (with Field Mob), the second verse is the only part of the whole song that makes any sense (it's not very good, but it makes sense).
Still, as other reviewers have said, this is basically a "safe" Ludacris album, so if you already like him, pick it up.
Anthony Rupert
I'm not impressed.......2007-05-10
For someone who tried his absolute hardest to beat out Janet Jackson for the top spot on the charts, Ludacris's "Release Therapy" is just average. Although every song on this LP is listenable, there is nothing spectacular about the album. Lyrically, production-wise, and creatively, it is OK at best. One thing that is commendable, though, Luda touched on a lot of sensitve issues in a very tasteful and mature way (such as Oprah, Chingy, and how hard it is to be famous). Ludacris has someone blowing his head up because he repeatedly speaks on how great of a rapper he is. Come on now. The innovation in doing that is where?
Luda is not a bad lyricist, but he only impresses me occasionally. It is important for a rapper to separate himself from the rest because otherwise he just becomes a drop in the bucket. What does separate Luda, though, is the fact that his voice is distinctive. He can say one word, and the listener immediately knows that it is him. Not to mention, he has a nice voice.
"Money Maker" was very successful on the radio and music charts, but it is one of his most lackluster songs in my opinion. The beat is alright, but the subject of "shaking your money maker" has been touched so many times that it's annoying. "Ultimate Satisfaction" is one of the album's highlights. In this song, Luda is letting his fans know that he can satisfy them. "Runaway Love" is an alright track. Mary J. Blige helps to give this track life, because it's a bit drab. Luda really could have gotten creative with this song, but apparently his aim was simplicity.
Honestly, I don't really recommend this album. I would suggest either listening to some of Luda's previous works, or simply awaiting his future releases.
Mikeisha's Top 5
1. "Woozy"
2. "Ultimate Satisfaction"
3. "Do Your Time"
4. "Grew Up A Screw Up"
5. "Tell It Like It Is"
Slap.......2007-04-28
If for nothing else, buy this CD for the song Slap.
I'm suprised that song isn't a hit. That's one of those songs EVERYONE can relate to.
Luda.......2007-03-22
I loved this CD. It will be a great album to listen to on the way to the beach this summer!
