Excellent transaction. Would not hesitate to buy again from this seller. Product was delivered promptly and as described.

5 out of 5 stars good memories for me and fun "new" songs for my children.......2007-06-27

We had ordered this for "The Dukes of Hazzard" theme song for our 4yr old and our whole family has fallen in love with the cd. It makes me want to share some of the old fun and simple shows with my children. I forgot about some of those shows. It brings back good memories for my husband and me and the songs are new and exciting for our children. It's a nice change from children's cd's, but our children still think it's fun. The sound quality is good and the songs included on the cd are a great mix. I would definately recommend this one.

This is a great CD for people who watch a lot of TV -especially TV LAND and reruns of old shows when shows had actual theme songs. I took the CD to work and everyone loved trying to figure out what show the songs were from.

Not all what I expected, not all of the tunes are the original recordings you remember as the TV themes.

The Windy City alt-metal provocateurs Disturbed surprised everyone when their debut, The Sickness, sold over 2 million copies. Here, once again, the band's imperious chrome-domed vocalist David Draiman bleats out the band's messages of nonconformity, self-empowerment, and individuality with a passion and ferocity that hasn't been heard since the '60s--though there's little room for peace, love, and understanding in Disturbed's world. Instead, Draiman laces the band's message with equal parts rage, disgust, and menace, all delivered in a thundering voice that alternates from the lyrical to the grizzled. Ozzy Osbourne has called Disturbed the "future of metal," and he might be right; they have almost single-handedly plucked the genre out of the aggro dung heap and fueled it with intelligence. The band is just as aggressive here as on their debut, but they've lost some of their dark angst, and as a result have created a melodic, psychically lighter album, despite the fact that the CD kicks off with "Prayer," a conversation between Draiman and God, inspired by the singer's grandfather's death. --Jaan Uhelszki

5 out of 5 stars For all those stupid people put there..........2007-05-09

Ok, first off, I'm not 13, I'm 18 and I was just looking around on Amazon for some cds, and I noticed some of the reviews on the Disturbed cds...the people who support this, I salute you, and for the people who don't...grrr...the people who say that its the same thing over and over, it's not! You don't hear the same guitar or the beat, and the people who say they have no talent, you go ahead and try to do that scream David does on, "Down with the Sickness.", I hope your throat bleeds when you try, because his does every concert...why on earth would someone do that every time, and might risk their speech? It's because they care so much about the band, and David wants to express his feelings so much to everyone on what kind of s*** he has gone through in his life...so to all of you Disturbed fans, let's push them aside, and keep going...

2 out of 5 stars Distubed rocks-just not this time........2007-04-23

I love the other disturbed albums-this one though is somthing of a letdown. with the exeption of "liberate" its the same tune from begining to end.

Not great.

I love ten thousand fists though that whole album is teriffic!

1 out of 5 stars Not my cup of tea !.......2007-04-18

Sorry but I don't like this, always the same distorded guitar, always the same riff, feel like it was the same song from the beginning 'til the end, poorly done !

5 out of 5 stars Believe it!!!!!!!!!!!!!.......2006-10-21

This is the weakest cd from DISTURBED but still Great.The reason I give it 5 stars for songs like prayer,remember and Liberate.It keeps it up there.

4 out of 5 stars Reminiscent of the Lie.......2006-10-13

Disturbed was the band that introduced me into the genre of Rock and Heavy Metal when I heard songs from their first album, The Sickness, from the most unlikely sorce: Dragonball Z. Yes, Dragonball Z. Once I realized there was something better than cheesy video game music, I headed to the store and picked up my first ever CD: Believe. To be honest, at first the only thing that mattered was that it was heavy and it was loud. Since then, I have understood more behind the album and its lyrics.

After seeing the horrific events of 9/11 and the death of his own grandfather, singer David Draiman decided to pay tribute to both by writing more spiritual lyrics to go along with more melodic metal and returning to his Jewish, yes Jewish, faith. The album symbol itself is comprised of 4 religious symbols, including the Star of David and the Pentagram. It is not only the lyrics that have a spiritual theme. There is actually a very well written and inspiring piece of writing zig-zagging down the middle of the album booklet that is a very interesting read, even if you're typically not the kind of person to do that.

The problem that most fans of The Sickness may have is that there is no "Stupify" or "Down With the Sickness" on this album. The most upbeat and wild song on the entire album would probably be "Liberate" which is actually very well edited in the amended version, substituting "Motherf***er" for "Mothermother" and still sounding roughly the same. Other heavier songs that old Disturbed fans may appreciate include "Prayer," "Rise" and "Intoxication." The final track of the disc, "Darkness," is a softer, more melodic piece that many fans may be disappointed with or may love deeply.

Final Word: If you're new to Disturbed, try either The Sickness or Ten Thousand Fists before trying this one to experience the true power of Disturbed's music. That doesn't mean a little melody and deeper, more insightful lyrics don't make a album bad. However, the effect is much more felt on the follow-up album, Ten Thousand Fists, where the melody and lyrics are fused with the raw power of The Sickness. Very good, but Disturbed is capable of much more.

Taking three-years between albums has made Weezer grow slower and more sober. But on its fifth disc the Los Angeles quartet is no more secure about its place in the world than it was a decade ago in longing tunes like "The World Has Turned And Left Me Here." Singer Rivers Cuomo, still struggling with adolescence at 34, is all apologies. "All I have to do is swing and I'm the hero/ But I'm a zero," he sings on "Perfect Situation," and "I am terrified of all things/ Frightened of the dark," on the lighters-aloft power ballad "Hold Me." The band, meanwhile, keeps things from getting too heavy by punctuating the songs with a familiar rush of bouncy new-wave melodies and fizzing power-pop riffs resulting in the hair-flinging metal of the future D.A.R.E. theme song and album high-point, "We Are All On Drugs." --Aidin Vaziri

Customer Reviews:

4 out of 5 stars Blue Album, Green Album, this album.......2007-06-27

There are three Weezer albums that I feel are truly excellent. Nope, Pinkerton is not one of them.

If you like the singles and you're tired of the emo kids telling you to listen to Pinkerton some more, then this is the album for you.

3 out of 5 stars Got old quickly!.......2007-06-04

Beverly Hills sounded really good in the summer of 2005, but for some reason, this CD got old fast! The rest of the album just wasn't me. If it held up well, I'd give it four stars.

5 out of 5 stars Perfect Situation.......2007-05-16

When listening to this CD for the first time i felt like it had been written just for me. Every song sang felt like something i would say. I could look at each song and connect it to an event in my life. I do want to be in Beverly Hills, In the perfect situation i have let love down the drain, i really do just want someone to hold me, i do need to find some peace, we are all on drugs, i do have damage in my heart that i need to let go, i would like to be pardoned, i do love my best friend, i do just look the other way, lots of people do freak me out, and i am going to haunt you everyday. I could listen to this CD for hours and it really helped me through some hard times where i could know that i'm not alone. I would recomend it to anyone, some of it is a little slow and sad, but it has it's upbeat moments too. So don't just turn the other way, buy this CD... lol... and no, i'm not trying to sell this...

4 out of 5 stars Great Album.......2006-11-29

There are a few people bashing this Album. At first, I really didn't get into this cd. After awhile it got hooked on me. I love every song on this album. I'm def. looking forward to future Weezer Albums.

2 out of 5 stars So polished, you can see right through it.......2006-10-25

This album is easily inferior to Weezer's previous classics, the 'Blue' album and "Pinkerton". However, I get the feeling that people pretty much stopped expecting greatness out of Weezer after "Maladroit", anyway...

That being said, this album is nowhere near as good as their earlier output, but in fairness is also much less unlistenable than the 'Green' album. Don't expect any of these songs to grab you, but don't expect to be completely disgusted, either. If you're not too picky when it comes to harmless, bubble-gum power-pop, you're bound to like some aspects of this album. "Perfect Situation" and "The Damage In Your Heart" are both perfectly decent songs. It's just that two of the singles from this album, "Beverly Hills" and "We Are All on Drugs", are hands down the two worst songs that Weezer have ever recorded. The other songs? They didn't seem to leave much of an impression on me one way or another. This album is for die-hard Weezer fans only...or at least the die-hard Weezer fans not already turned off by the steadily decreasing quality of their musical output, anyway.

It's disappointing to see this band lower their standards to this harmless, forgettable batch of songs. We know the greatness that Weezer is capable of, but we've seen only faint glimmers of it since they came back in 2001. It makes one wonder if they should have even come back in the first place. Sure, they've had a run of success to rival their mid 90's hey-day, but nobody is going to remember this album in 10 years. I can gurantee you, however, that people out there are still going to be talking about the Blue album and "Pinkerton" at that point in time. They're found success, but at the expense of their previous musical legacy.

There have been rumors that this is in fact their last album. It's probably for the best.

As they developed and incorporated more of their own social lives into their music, the Mamas and the Papas became the model for other dysfunctionally self-involved groups like Fleetwood Mac. But none of that is evident on their 1966 debut, If You Can Believe Your Eyes and Ears; rather, it's the quartet's dreamy vocal interaction that is the highlight here. "California Dreamin'" is a touching honeymoon of a song; and its follow-up, "Monday Monday," is much the same--though it comes this close to overwhelming sappiness. "Spanish Harlem," "In Crowd," and Mama Cass Elliott's lead on the Beatles' "I Call Your Name" are just as enjoyable. Though the accompanying music on this album was not the focus, it's every bit as strong as the vocal arrangements, with Larry Knetchel, Joe Osborne, and Hal Blaine handling the chores here. --Randy Silver

5 out of 5 stars I'M A BELIEVER !!!.......2006-08-15

To me, great debut albums are few and far between. These days, there's just too much hype made about this group and that group; and, even if they are good, so much media overkill and overplay gets done that you're sick of hearing about someone before they've really had a chance? "IF YOU CAN BELIEVE YOUR EYES AND EARS" is one of those great debut albums--almost a "sleeper," if you will--that can't be beat! From start to finish, you want to hear more; and usually do wind up playing it a second (and maybe even a third) time around before walking away and saying, "Wow," to yourself over and over again. I can only compare that to, say, the first Beatles album (take your pick between the first UK or US release), Boston's debut LP, Skynyrd's "PRONOUNCED," or (another "sleeper") "LISTEN UP... IT'S THE ECHOES"--the latter, in some ways, reminding me of The Mamas & The Papas magic and honesty? This group's definitely earned itself a place in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. I only wish there were more like them!

5 out of 5 stars Metamorpho, Metamorpho...So Good to Me..................2006-01-05


People, people. I remember a long time ago, when I was a Metamorpho in training, trying to angle my radio in just a certain way to pick up a radio station in Boston to hear the latest. Even though I lived in the suburbs of New Jersey - extremely close to N.Y.C. - they really weren't up on it as far as new music was concerned. So.... there I was... trying to get under just the right cloud formation. And then I heard it (Bless Boston, Massachusetts!), California Dreamin'!!!! Then they announced that it was by The Mamas and the Papas. My teenage brain repeated over and over to me.. "MUST GET THIS".
Of course, I had to wait for New York to catch up, and then I had to wait for the album release. It was well worth the wait! At that time (65-66) I remember how unique they were. I mean. who dressed like that? Not even my beloved Beatles took that chance (Sgt. Pepper was years away). As I knew full well upon first hearing, "California Dreamin'" eventually went to Number 1. And not too long after that, they doubled that gift by releasing "Monday, Monday." Accessible pop done expertly.
This first album has many things to reccommend it. The arrangements, the vocal harmonies, the professional session men who provided the backdrop for these voices. The "definitive" Mamas and the Papas, if you ask Metamorpho.
So many good tunes. That great riff on the pop-rock "Straight Shooter", the carnival take on "I Call Your Name", the great tick-tocking of time on "Got a Feelin'". Wonderful, lush, great mid-sixties pop. Memorable and you always felt better after hearing it.
The Mamas and the Papas were different than anything else at the time. Their legacy lives on because there was quality there. Metamorpho is sad because he no longer discovers great music by transistor radio. He is sad because the times have moved from quality to quantity. To quote Metamorpho in one of his more reflective moods, "The discovery of great music is 50% of the joy upon hearing it." I hope my anecdotes and humor help you to the joy of new discoveries! Bye my people.... Metamorpho

5 out of 5 stars Nothing like it before - EVERYTHING like it since.......2004-08-26

In an era where groups were categorized as 'Vocal', 'Motown', 'Folk', 'Girl Group', 'British Invasion', and 'Rock and Roll', along came The Mama's and the Papa's (at the time, resplendent with their apostrophes). What, exactly, do you call them? Part of the magic of the band was that you couldn't label them with anything that existed at the time - they really did carve their own niche... then immortalized it in the 2 years they were together. Their effect was profound, even leading to a 4/4 time drum beat that's colloquially referred to as 'Mamas and Papas'. The Classics IV would name a song after them; Peter, Paul and Mary would dedicate an entire verse to them in their hit "I Dig Rock and Roll Music"; Donovan would write a song for Cass. The group was as adept at others' material (a full HALF of this album is comprised of tunes by other artists), as they were at their own.

California Dreamin' - an ageless classic which made Rolling Stone's top 100 of the best songs ever recorded, and with good reason. A haunting, minor-chord revelation, the song takes the beachy California confections of the early 1960's and gives them folk's depth and mood. And, by the way, the second verse ends with "you know the preacher LIGHTS the COALS, he knows I'm gonna stay (get it, it's cold outside, the preacher lights a fire for the wandering troubadour who's dreamin' of California - the Beach Boys cover of this song sported a video that illustrates this point with some clarity).

Straight Shooter - Rock and Roll, pure and simple. Driving, groovy, and downright sexy towards the end (listen carefully for Cass's grinding 'half of that belongs to me' at the end of the song).

Got a Feelin' - One of the first four songs the group ever composed, the liner notes of the album refer to the song as 'feathery'. I really can't improve on that.

I Call Your Name - Cass' first showcase on the album, it defines the Mama's and Papa's brilliance (for the most part) at recording other's tunes, and Papa John's ability to rearrange a song and make it completely different. The Beatles' rock and roll standard becomes an almost ragtime love song, if you can believe your ears...

Do You Wanna Dance - another cover tune, late of Bobby Freeman AND the Beach Boys, it is arguably the group's best version of someone else's song - so good, in fact, that Dunhill - the group's record label - would mine it for a single TWO YEARS AFTER THE FACT. The beauty and sincerity of this song is BEGGING to appear on a soundtrack of a romantic comedy. Brilliant beyond words.

Go Where You Wanna Go - simple, cool, four-part-harmony fun. The first single - though preemptively - released from the album, it was quickly pulled in favor of California Dreamin'. The 5th Dimension would later cover the song and send it into the American Top 20, thus launching THEIR career.

Monday, Monday - won the group the Grammy in 1966, and with good reason. It's a symphony. In stereo, the one speaker will produce Cass, John, Michelle, and the strings, while the other will feature Denny's lead, the harpsichord (!) and percussion. It is technically awe-inspiring, simple and complex at the same time. Michelle thought it was pretentious at the time, and potentially career-limiting. Never has an artist been so happy to be so wrong. I can hear this song 1,000 times - and have - and can still find something new to love about it.

Spanish Harlem - on par with Do You Wanna Dance, Denny's vocals are pristine and plaintive, with the girls' harmonies behind him evoking the balcony to which he's singing. A love song lovers' love song.

Somebody Groovy - another of their first four tunes, it - along with the rest of the album - demonstrates the group's ability to be good time rock n' rollers. It's got a great beat, and you can... well, you know.

You, Baby - The Turtles are targeted in this cover, and I'm hard-pressed to decide who's won. The boys do it a little faster; the Mama's and the Papa's do it a little more rock-er. One of the few times the group would take on another artist's tune and match it closely, rather than re-invent it entirely.

Hey Girl - A great answer-back pop tune that should've appeared on more of the millions of compilations than it has. An early showcase for the girls' voices.

The In-Crowd - Watch Cass take a soul tune and make it her own. The other side of the coin from I Call Your Name, here Cass is finally unleashed on a song, her barreling contralto owning every note.

I still cannot imagine, after all the greatest hits re-do's, that California Dreamin' and Monday, Monday actually appeared on the same album together ORIGINALLY. Universal in its acceptance, If You Can Believe is to the Mama's and the Papa's what Pet Sounds is to the Beach Boys, and Sgt. Peppers is to the Beatles.

Yes, there was Abba, the Carpenters, the Sunshine Company... but FIRST, there was The Mama's and the Papa's.

Buy this album. Right now.

5 out of 5 stars Their Fabulous Classic First Folk-Rock Album!.......2002-05-15

No single group flashed faster to the top nor created more hype than the fabled the Mamas and the Papas. From their initial burst onto the scene with "California Dreaming" to their final efforts with "For The Love Of Ivy", they created a new, exciting, and melodramatic form of vocal harmonies into the folk-rock mainstream. The album featured here was their freshman effort, and it is indeed a classic, containing wall to wall hits with "Monday Monday", "I Call Your Name", "Go Where You Wanna Go", and of course, "California Dreaming".

The cover shot of the four of them gathered fully clothed in an empty bathtub was typical of their earthy presence and flair the unconventional. Within a couple of years they had conquered the pop heavens, had an incredible string on non-stop hits, and promptly dissolved among the internal frictions so common to mid-sixties super-groups like the Byrds, Buffalo Springfield, and a number of others. Yet the incredible sound they created remains, and I defy anyone to listen to this album without snapping a finger or tapping a foot in time with incredible sounds emanating from the stereo. This album is a must-have for collectors of sixties folk-rock music. Enjoy!

Not to say this guy isn't good, he is and very smooth too. If you have "People Gonna Talk" though, this new offering is like the cuts that missed the first recording.

5 out of 5 stars Believe What I Say.......2007-04-11

I had never seen James Hunter until I saw him on Leno. I kept hearing a soul thread floating through this song. At times I thought I could hear a mild James Brown influence. (J.B. Fan)
I don't usually hear one song and go to Amazon to buy, but I did and was very satisfied. I bought 2 CD's. Quite pleased on both, Believe What I Say & People Gonna Talk.

5 out of 5 stars A Tremendous Find.......2007-01-14

I was turned on to James Hunter by a friend. What a great find he turned out to be for me. Having started my true music appreciation with the motown sound and soul music of the '60's and '70's, James is a great modern day find. The sax in his music is quite appealing. I highly recommend anyone curious about James's music go to his web site and sample his sound. Gauranteed to please.

5 out of 5 stars Aaliyah - Ultimate Aaliyah .......2007-02-03

"Ultimate Aaliyah" (2005) is an impressive two disc release (+ Bonus dvd) consisting of twenty-five tracks from Aaliyah (Aaliyah Dana Haughton, January 16th 1979-August 25th 2001). Aaliyah's death at 22 years old sent shocks through the music world, a real tragedy - may she rest in peace. In her short lifetime Aaliyah was a prolific grammy winning artist, model & actress. This release opens with the exceptional "One In A Million", Aaliyah shines like the sun on this memorable love ballad. Next to this sweet cut, my favourite Aaliyah track is the outstanding slow jam "I Care 4 U", Aaliyah comforts a man who's women left him. I remember when "We Need A Resoultion" was blowing up on the radio, its a commercially friendly track which is relevant to the everyday relationship issue's real life people deal with. Another hit collaboration with Timbaland is "Try Again" made for "Romeo Must Die" a movie starring Jet Li and Aaliyah. "Rock The Boat" & "More Then A Woman" are to more memorable joints from her self-titled album. The "I Miss You" (Remix) is a moving and powerful track, Aaliyah sings soulfully about a lost love - Aaliyah really captured the feeling of a breakup and the longing people have on this premium joint. Disc two features bonus, soundtrack, and guest appearance/collaboration material. Timbaland & Magoo team up with Wyclef and provide a heartfelt tribute to Aaliyah on "Hold On" . "Ultimate Aaliyah" is a release for any R & B collection.

Wonderful, eye-catching packaging and great selections completes this CD set! Features all her best, gems, and a DVD documentary of her life and music! No disappointments here!

4 out of 5 stars A complete timeline of her career! (4.5 stars).......2006-04-14

In a span of only 7 years, Aaliyah Dana Haughton became one of the biggest and brightest stars in R&B. In 2001, she released her self-titled third album to rave reviews and was slated to star in two big-budget films later in the year. However, Aaliyah never lived to reap her newfound success as an ill-fated crash off of the Barbados coast took her life. It's still hard to believe to this day.

Since then, there's been a few compilations to harness Aaliyah's short-lived but successful career. Only one, however, has completely captured her best moments -- "Ultimate Aaliyah". Released in the U.K. in 2005, it's a three-disc set of her greatest hits, grab-bag material, and an hour-long DVD documentary paying tribute to the legacy she departed with. The U.S. saw the release of "I Care 4 U" (which was a decent hits compilation), but this is, by far, the best collection of Aaliyah's career. It includes ALL of her chart entries, (except "Come Over" and "Age Ain't Nuthin But A Number"), NEW unreleased material, and a special documentary of interviews and promo clips from some of the biggest and brightest stars who knew Aaliyah best.

In sum, Aaliyah's entire career is on display with this special collection. You don't have to look elsewhere to find Aaliyah at her best moments (unless you have to have "Age" and/or "Come Over"). As a bonus, you also get a DVD that tells her life through interviews and video clips from some of your favorite stars. This is truly the ultimate collection! Therefore, the only problem I have was its quiet release. An all-encompassing collection of Aaliyah's best moments with a bonus DVD and it gets a quiet U.K. release? Maybe it was contract issues with her label, but this record SHOULD have gotten a U.S. release. If you don't own it, it's a definite must-have, no matter the side of the ocean you're on. Highly recommended for any music fan, especially avid R&B followers.

Amazon.com essential recording

Cher's recording career has long taken a back seat to her acting pursuits, but with Believe she's back with a vengeance as a throbbing disco diva. Although no fewer than five producers with dance pedigrees are along for the project (including Todd Terry, Junior Vasquez of Madonna fame, and Rob Dickins, who helped resurrect Rod Stewart's ailing career), this is by no means a dance album in the '90s trip-hop sense of the term. Rather, it's a tour de force that summons mid-'70s images of strobe-lighted dance floors, sequined miniskirts, and writhing bodies. In "Power," Cher wails, "Ain't nothing changed much through the years." Not a bad thing in this case, since Cher's star was still rising in the steamy '70s and '80s with a string of hits that included the disco gem "Take Me Home" and the haunting "If I Could Turn Back Time." Although not blessed with much vocal range, Cher knows how to work a song with her trademark sultry, slightly ironic delivery. And she's certainly in fine form on the masterful title track, which is marred only by the intrusive, anachronistic wah-wah vocal effect. --Jaan Uhelszki

Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars A deserved triumph.......2007-06-24

It is not a mystery why this disc was as successful as it became. Nine years after its initial release, the songs sound as fresh and enticing as they did when I first listened to it. The program is full of pulsating dance numbers: "Believe," "Strong Enough," "All Or Nothing." Cher reworks one of her moderate hits from the late 1980s, "We All Sleep Alone," into a beat-driven disco song. And "Dov'e L'Amore" is a song reminiscent of her Snuff Garrett days, appropriately modernized.

Cher's continuing ability to realign herself in center stage after a period of relative dormancy proved undiminished when "Believe" hit the airwaves. More importantly, it made people more aware of Cher's musical standing: She outlasted 99% of her contemporaries from the early '60s and her ability to entertain only grew as time passed. More than ever, we need to be reminded that its okay to have fun and there's no better person to remind us of that than Cher.

4 out of 5 stars a Teen's Review.......2007-02-18

I bought this CD today at the store. I really like some of the songs, and I don't like some of the others. This is my first Cher CD so I'm not a fan or anything, in fact I don't particularly know about her much at all. But this is a good CD. I bought it for $3.99 used, and I think that's what it's worth. It's certainly not worth $14.99. If you can get it for a cheap price and you like, disco/electric music, then I think you'll like it.

5 out of 5 stars Do You Believe In Life After Love..........2007-02-16

I want to tell you people who is a Cher's fan how much I truly love her when I first heard of "Believe" at the club with my friends. I always knew I never like Cher because my family didn't know I was gay that time and when I came out of the closet when I brought my very first ex-lover and my family felt bad and they supported me and loves me no matter what and told me alot about true story about Cher about her daughter that was gay. My family was an old-fashioned and they felt that gay were sinned until I came out of the closet then I went out with friends and I heard "Believe" and I asked my friends who sang this song and they said "Cher" I was so shocked and I told my friends I loved this song so I went and bought her CD "Believe" which was my first CD I bought of hers. When my ex and I went and picked up my mother and grandmother and I forgot to take the CD out of my car but my ex and I was in a hurry because we were like 2 hours late and when my car was started and then the song called "Believe" started playing and I had to turn the music off quickly and my mother told me that she wanted to hear it so I left it on and grandmother said and asked: This song is very good who was it? and I said it was Cher and we all 3 talked about Cher's daughter being gay and my family loves Cher as much as I love Cher!! Very very sad story of my life with me and my family. I love you Cher and my family and friends and thank you all for being there for me and I cant thank you all enough for who I truly am!! LOVE YOU ALL!!!

5 out of 5 stars Inspiring lyrics.......2007-01-13

Great CD to give to women friends who need to get out of a bad situation (i.e. relationship). Not a Cher fan before this CD came out. Love the music on this one and the passion evident in her voice.

4 out of 5 stars Cher delivers.......2006-12-30

Cher has been around for quite a long time and garnered nearly every major award out there. For someone of her age at the time of Believe's release it's hard to see how she could have been so successful since this CD is dance pop--then again, she's Cher. The title track scored her another international No. 1 hit single and shot the album to the top of the charts, selling millions and millions of copies. So is Believe worth all the hype? Yes, and no. "Believe" the song is brilliant disco-infused dance pop and any singer could have easily topped the charts with it had it not been given to Cher. The rest of the album follows suit, delivering catchy dance pop that would easily fit into the Top 40 mold of 1998 when it was first released. Unfortunately, it gets cheesy as you get further into the meat, and the fact Cher's well above the age of dance pop makes the album sound a bit immature. Still, Cher's throaty voice sounds great here and song-for-song it is one of her best records.

5 out of 5 stars Still the best example of Vocal Trance music, even over three years later.......2006-09-18

This album still remains, at least for me, the best example of vocal trance music on the market. This is quite a feat seeing it has been out for over three years. Vanessa has a beautiful voice, quite powerful and sometimes haunting. Unfortunately, she has left the 4 Strings. Distinctive beats make this album one of a kind. Everyone I have ever recommended this album to has instantly become hooked, and that is the truth. The lyrics to the songs are incredibly uplifting and positive. Great for when you are in a bad mood and need a little cheering up. I guarantee at least one of the songs will get stuck in your head for at least a week. Plus, it is great for a dance party :) Hope you enjoy!

4 out of 5 stars Besides Us.......2006-08-22

The album gets better as it moves along even with the hit track at the start. Besides Us is a good layed out trance song, in at about 6 minutes. And a good follow up with Waterfall. The last 8 tracks make the album in my opinion.

4 out of 5 stars Worth the price for Track three.......2006-07-04

I don't know if "Revelation" is available as a single, and therefore, the cost of the album is worth it just for this track. Incredible...gets the blood pumping and the body moving!

5 out of 5 stars Awesome Surprise.......2006-06-12

I heard "Let It Rain", "Diving", "Take Me Away" a billion times in the past, but like with most trance songs they were on cd's with lots of others. I had no idea who the artist was. I love them and glad to know, but not surprised, that 4 Strings did them all. AWESOME!

1 out of 5 stars The epitomy of cheesy "trance"..........2006-01-05

I have tried to listen to this whole album several times because a good friend gave it to me, but just cannot bring myself to do it. The music is uneventful and repetitive. As far as vocals, at times I think I am listening to a commercial pop star because lyrics are sappy. I have no idea what kind of music fan I would reccommend this album too, but apparently it is quite popular according to reviews. I would not consider this trance at all and I beleive it is degrading to categorize it as euro-trance because of its lack of creativity. I hope that when electronic dance music breaks out into mainstream US this is not what Americans will prefer.
