Celtic Frost - 'To Mega Therion' (Sanctuary).......2007-02-21

Originally released in 1985, this was the band's follow-up to their head-banging debut 'Morbid Tales' (see my review) and about as intense. Tunes I liked best were "Jewel Throne", the kick-in-the-BE-hind "Eternal Summer", "Circle Of Tyrants" and the hyperactive "Necromantical Screams". Basically, just more old school prime Swiss death metal to torment you neighbors with. Turn this baby to '10' ! The only way to go.

one of the best metal albums period!.......2006-11-28

To Mega Therion (aka The Big Bang) is an amazing metal thuderhorse. Cletic Frost's best album. If you like thrash, black metal or music in general get this album!

Celtic Frost-Innovators of Death Metal.......2006-08-09

Celtic Frost is a huge influence on most death metal bands today. From Anthrax to Dave Grohl they have been cited as "gods of metal", ushers of black (in the genre of Venom) and death metal. I fisrt heard these guys back in the early 90's, a little late, and after their prime. My fisrt exposure was into the pandemonium, nice start, with a few odd twists. Cold Lake was my next view, and I thought, where are these guys going, and are they supposed to be Metal? Then I heard this album...THIS IS CELTIC FROST. This is what I was told in Legend about.

Born from Hellhammer member Thomas "Warrior" Fischer, Martin Ain, and Stephen Priestly. They first debuted some material on the "Death Metal" compilation for Noise records, and soon released Morbid Tales in 1984. From their debut album Morbid Tales, this was the second album (1985 release) and an awsome follow up that set the standards high for this up and coming band from Swiss/German origins.

From the first song Innocense and Wrath set up a longstading good/evil play that Frost used for many of their albums. Other highlights include Eternal Summer, The Usurper, and Circle of the Tyrants.

If you are a metal fan and have not bought any Frost before, this is a good second choice album. Morbid Tales is the top pick, but you will not be disapointed with this one either.

It is good to see that they are still kicking and alive today, check out their new album Monotheist as well.

THEE death metal album of the 80's.......2006-07-29

This album ushered in the NEW, more cohesive Celtic Frost sound (circa 1985). Nearly gone are the fast, hard-core influenced songs like "Into the Crypts of Rays" and "Morbid Tales." After the 'Emperor's Return' recording sessions, the band briefly toured, lost their bass player Martin Ain, and headed back into the studio to record the DARKEST, most GOTHIC, EVIL, SLOW-PACED deat metal album ever put on wax. Every song on this disc is terrific. The sound is still ahead of it's time, and it sounds like TG Warrior is playing 8 guitars at once. Mixed into the album are three tracks from the "Tragic Serenades" recording sessions ('86), where Martin Ain joins back up with the band and they re-do a few of the songs.

The ONLY negative I can say about the CD is that Ain only plays bass on the 'Tragic Serenades' tracks: "The Usurper," "Jewel Throne" and "Return to The Eve." He is such an important part of the band--lyrically and musically. In fact, this is the only CF album I would advise buying that he doesn't play on.

Highlights? ALL OF THEM! To point at a few stand outs though: "The Usurper" (they used to open with this song in concert back in the late 80's...probably their best song), "Circle of the Tyrants" (another CF classic), "Eternal Summer," "Necromantical Screams" (which made the set list on their current 06-07 tour) and of course "Jewel Throne."

Taking the terror a step further, Frost has included a couple of chilling, evil instrumentals again, but also they are starting to incorporate string orchestra instruments, tympanies and female backing vocals, all of which are gothic influences, and all of which make the songs that much scarier. It's not contrived, or "just for show," like King Diamond. It's very integral, and the lyrics prove they are intellegent and well researched. They take this all to a new level on their next album, "Into the Pandemonium," which in my opinion is the best metal album of all time.

OOOHHH!!! HEY!!! THIS BAD BOY ROCKS!.......2006-07-14

At the risk of exaggeration, the first things that come to mind when I think of To Mega Therion is "unique" and "ahead of its time," and I'm not a huge Celtic Frost fan either. This band definitely has a sound of their own, as everyone has difficulty categorizing them. This album in particular contains elements of thrash, death metal, black metal, symphonic metal, doom, gothic, etc., you get the point. The incorporation of tympani, horns and female backing vocals is especially fascinating, as heard on "Innocence and Wrath," "Dawn of Meggido" and "Necromanic Screams." Of course, the album is dominated by straightforward rockers like "The Usurper," "Jewel Throne" and the classic "Circle of The Tyrants" (covered by everyone and their grandmother); but then it comes around to something really off the wall, such as the atonal instrumental "Tears in A Prophets Dream," a piece that sounds as if it could have been composed by Stockhausen or anyone else of the European Avant-Garde. Tom Warrior is not the greatest lead guitarist in the world; this album (as well as other Frost efforts) would have greatly benefited from a quality soloist. Nevertheless, what he lacks in technique he more than compensates for in awesome guitar riffs. And as a vocalist, I feel his voice is one of the most commanding in all of the extreme metal community. To Mega Therion is a metal masterpiece that successfully integrates dark, headbanging grooves with progressive experimentation. Best songs: "The Usurper," "Jewel Throne," "Circle of The Tyrants" and "Necromanical Screams."

Mega Movie Mix!.......2006-06-25

1-Why Not (ReMix)- I like the remix better than the original, it's fun. (8/10)

2-Can't Help Falling In Love- I made up a tap dance to this song, very fun and bouncy. (10/10) -My favorite song on the CD

3-Dig It-I'm not a big fan of this song. It's not on "repeat" but I don't NORMALLY skip over it (7/10)

4-Drama Queen(That Girl)- I think this song is just plain weird. (6/10)

5-Grazing in the Grass- This was my cousin's dance recital song last year. It's fun, it's peppy, but it's by Raven. (8/10)

6-Happy Together- I don't know. Definetly not the worst, definetly not the best. (7/10)

7-The Tide is High- My dad absouletly loves the song. I used to to, but it got boring after a while. (8/10)

8-Ciderella- Let me just say I hate the Cheetah Girls. They were fine when I was eight, but I'm not eight anymore! (5/10)

9-Supergirl-This song is okay, easy to sing along to, but definetly not my favorite. (6/10)

10-Beauty and The Beast-I absolutly LOVE the remix of this song!! Made up a dance to it, even! (10/10)

11-Ultimate-Uggh, another Lindsay song?? Fun to dance to but way old. (6/10)

GREAT Mix.......2006-04-23

I thought, overall this mix was great, I would rate it 4 1/2 if I could:

1-Why Not (McMix)- I like the remix better than the original, you can't really tell it's Hilary Duff, and that's what I like about it (8/10)

2-Can't Help Falling In Love-Very pop, fluffy song. Something you might get up and choreograph a dance to at a sleepover (10/10) -My favorite song on the CD

3-Dig It-I'm not a big fan of the whole "rap" thing. It's not on "repeat" but I don't NORMALLY skip over it (7/10)

4-Drama Queen(That Girl)-I absolutly HATE Lindsay Lohan, she has an awful voice, and the pop, fluff she does creeps me out, but I really liked this song by her (10/10)

5-Grazing in the Grass-I'm not a big fan of Raven, she sings too much R&B for me, I didn't particularly like this song, they should have picked a guy to sing this song. It suites it more. (5/10)

6-Happy Together-I'm a HUGE fan of Simple Plan, but this song didn't jump out at me, it was really rocked and all, but I think it sounded more like Green Day, than Simple Plan, it was really repetitive also (6/10)

7-The Tide is High-In The Lizzie Mcguire Movie, they use the version by Blondie, but, Atomic Kitten did a GREAT remix of it! Very poppish, but a great song to sing along with the radio (8/10)

8-Ciderella-The fact that Raven was in Cheetah Girls made me dislike all the songs the Cheetah Girls sing. I think the whole CHEETAH GIRLS thing is much to over rated (4/10)

9-Supergirl-I'm supergirl and I'm here to save the world..bla bla bla...I get tired of all the GIRL POWER songs..(2/10)

10-Beauty and The Beast-I absolutly LOVE the remix of this song!! Jump5 does a wonderful job with remixes! I loved the song in the movie and I loved the way Jump5 sings it, not too much of a change, but enough to notice! LOVE it!! (10/10)

11-Ultimate-Uggh, another Lindsay song?? I hated this song!! She has no musical ability whatsoever!! (2/10)

12-Keepin' It Real-I didn't like this song first, because I don't really like rap, but once you know the lyrics, it gets stuck in your head! It was deffinantly a song I would put on my iPod (9/10)

13-Superstition-Raven+Remixes=terrible--need I say more? (1/10)-my least favorite song of the whole CD

14)Welcome-Another remix by Jump5!! I love it!! Very poppy and "hip" but stuck to the original melody! (9/10)

15-Miricles Happen-A classic for Disney mixes, love it! (10/10)

Very good!.......2006-01-13

Mega House Party Rocks the House!.......2007-02-01

I gotta say I was very pleased with this edition to the Gay Happenings collection. I'd have to say if you're going to start anywhere with this series, start at Mega House Party. These remixes will have you dancing all night long (or all the way to work in your car.)

1.Belmond & Parker feat. Ronnie Sherman - Show Me Love (2006 Club Remix)-Sounds just like an updated version of the 90's classic, but still good.


2. Mysterious Girl - Like A Prayer (Club Mix)-Love it, love it, love it! great for working out on the Eliptcal at the gym.

3. Scotty feat. MC Sherlock - Insomnia 2006 (Belmond & Parker Club Mix)-Hardcore House, awesome track!

4. Patrick Bryze & Jim Tonique - Better World (Sugar Kingz Remix)-Good track

5. Sharon Dexter - Finally (Club Mix)-I prefer the orignal...

6. Disco Blue - I Don't Cry (Extended Mix)-Good

7. The In-Crowd - Groove Is In The Heart (Club Mix #2)- AWESOME cover! Long over due for a Techno/Trance/House cover of this 90's hit.

8. The Sugar Kingz - Only You (Horny United Mix) -Blah

9. Syndicate Of L.A.W. feat. D-Train - You're The One For Me (Extended House Mix) -Blah

10. Karmah - Tom's Diner (B&P Club Mix) -Not terrible but nothing spectacular. I actually prefer the orignal version by Susanne Vega.

11. Sound Factor feat. Marysol - Let It Go (Axwell & Manks Mix) -Good

12. Carol Jiani - Hit And Run Lover (2006 Mondo Remix) -The best remix of this song that I've heard yet!

13. Joe Face - Maniac (Extended Mix) -it got old a little quick, but if you dont listen to it every other second it's cool.

14. Diva DJ's feat. Nicki French - Total Eclipse Of The Heart 2006 (Shanghai Surprize Mix) -I a bit too long and not that different from the non-remixed version by Nikki French. But still a classic.

15. Mysterious Girl - Hung Up (Tech-House Mix)-Best part, in the middle when the Abba sample gets all "techno!"

16. Disco Deejays - Stayin' Alive (Club Mix) -Sucks!

17. JPM feat. Rocking J - Amigo (Electro Mix) -Nothing to write home about.

18. Martha & The Muffins - Echo Beach 2006 (Club Mix)- Hard beat, it's a hot song!

19. Cloudskippers feat. Shena - The Real Thing (O'Heller Mix)- The absolute best track on this album. OMG! It makes buying this cd worth it, without a doubt! The song is such a fusion of house and trance and Shena's vocals are soooo great. #1 Best!

20. DJs 4 Life feat. DJ Tom - Everyone's A Winner (Club Mix)- Blah

21. RuPaul feat. Tom Trujillo - People Are People (Guiseppe D's Rutroactive Mix Show) -Oh RuPaul....just stop.

22. Chico del Mar feat. Pit Bailay - Free Your Mind (Original Mix)- blah, blah,blah


Let me tell you, this cd is on my i-pod, in my car stereo. I listen to it on the way to/from work, to the gym, at the gym. it's the best from Gay Happenings!

Great Album, But Lif Can Do Better.......2006-10-09

Mr. Lif might just be my favorite rapper in the game right now. There aren't many, if any, MCs with lyrics as thought provoking or as geniunely interesting as Mr. Lif. His EP 'Emergency Rations' and first LP 'I Phantom' are both easily 9-10/10 albums, which obviously creates very high expectations for any Lif release. While 'Mo'Mega' is a great album, and would be considered an extraordinary release from most other artists, it doesn't succeed in improving upon, or matching, Lif's prior albums.

The production on 'Mo'Mega' is largely handled by Def Jux founder El-P, who has also provided a good amount of production for Lif in the past. El-P's production style is pretty unorthodox, and many hip hop fans find his production just too "out there". While his production here is a bit more "normal" than what you might expect from him, people who aren't fans of El-Producto might be turned off by the production here. The 3 tracks that aren't produced by El-P have somewhat more conventional production, and they're handled by Edan (Murs Iz My Manager), Nick Toth (For You) and Mr. Lif himself (Washtup!). Overall, I feel that the production is great, although not as good as the production on Lif's past material.

Lyrically, Lif excells as always. Subject matter is great, flow is on point, and Lif executes extremely well. But once again, as shown by past material, Lif can do better. On I Phantom, for example, Lif showed his storytelling ability as well as numerous concept songs (considering it was a concept album). Lif strays away from storytelling and concept songs on 'Mo'Mega', which is pretty disapointing considering how great they were on I Phantom.

Overall, this really is a great album, and by far one of the best of 2006. But if you're a Lif fan lookings for another 'I Phantom', you might be disapointed on the first listen. But it definately grows on you.

Top 5 Songs (In Order):

1. Murs Iz My Manager (Featuring Murs) - Murs (another one of my favorite rappers) and Lif show great chemistry on this track, going back and forth over maybe the best beat on the album.

2. Brothaz - Sounds like a track straight off of 'Emergency Rations'; politically charged, and extremely dope.

3. For You - Great beat provided by Nick Toth (never heard of him before), and shows a more personal side of Lif (along with 'Looking In...') that was rarely seen on prior albums.

4. The Fries - 2 dope beats from El-P, accompanied with social commentary on fast food and other topics make this a definate standout.

5. Take, Hold, Fire (Featuring Aesop Rock & El-P) - Great overall track featuring 2 nice verses from labelmates Aesop Rock & El-P.

Worst Track:

Long Distance - Not a bad track, but not as good lyrically, nor beat-wise as the rest of the album. Just overall the least enjoyable track.

Lyrics/Substance/Subject Matter - 9/10
Flow/Delivery - 8.5/10
Production - 8/10
Overall Feel - 8/10

Guest Apperances - Aesop Rock, El-P, Murs, Akrobatik & Blueprint - 9.5/10 - Every one of the guests makes a memorable apperance. Definately a high point of the album.
Overall Rating - 8.5/10 - Pick this up if youre a fan of political hip hop that makes you think...but if you haven't heard any Mr. Lif before, you might want to pick up 'Emergency Rations' or 'I Phantom' first.

Lyrically Incredible.......2006-08-05

Mr Lif is a genius, i love this cd, it is so much better than the stuff you hear on the radio these days, i hope people continue to support him, he is very much deserving of his accomplishments. I reccommend adding this cd to anyones collection, you will be amazed.

Lif is a Genius.......2006-08-05

This Album is summed up when I state that Mr. Lif is a "genius" Not only is this album worth getting, but its worth keeping in your Cd-player for weeks.

One thing to be aware of is that the CD does not have an immediate appeal like "Emergency Rations" does. Tracks like "Murs is my manager" will but all else will take time. Eventually after listening to the lyrics and adapting to Lif's classic yet newer style portrayed, the music will engulf you.

Songs that are personally my favorite (even though I pretty much like them all) are "Brothas," "Fries," "For You," "Murs is my Manager," "Looking in," and my recent favorite has been "Mo Mega." Not only does Lif shine, Blueprint and Akrobatik are at the top of their game. Buy this album and support a true lyrical genius.

Best thing out of Boston since Black Dialogue.......2006-07-23

This is my favorite Lif album thus far. There are a lot of reasons. First off this is the best production I've heard by El-P, which is saying a lot considering I have a large Def Jux collection. The only thing I don't like about the beats is that occasionaly Lif's voice will just blend right in, and you will get caught up in the beat and completely miss the lyrics. The lyrics are what make Lif great. He's intelligent, politically-savvy, but most of all he does it without sounding boring or overly angry at the president. Songs like "The Fries" are what make this album my favorite by Lif. He can raise a very good point while also making the song laughable. There's nothing really bad to say about this album, I like his choice in collaborations, choosing old Perceptionist Akrobatik and fellow Jukies Aes Rock and Murs on his three (ft.) songs. The best track on the CD is probably Take! Hold! Fire!, and it's not just for Aes, the lyrics in this song are killer, and if you have any bass where you're listenin you'll be feelin it too. It's ill. Whole CD is ill. Five mics.

Not all I was hoping for...3.5 stars.......2006-07-06

First off, I must give props to El-P for the extremely fresh and addictive production. The beats are definitely a vast improvement, if not a nice progression from Lif's earlier efforts. Lyrically, Lif does not deliver to his fullest potential. Inside we hear a much different Lif than the one we all know from 2002's "I Phantom". His flow sounds too hard, in a uncomfortable sort of way. His lyrics seem far less personal and withdrawn. His relentless attacks against the Bush administration and others sound preachy for the first time ever. Lif has always delivered solutions and intelligent commentary to his attacks that always brought his message full circle. It rather pains me to hear him complain and not offer solutions or reason for his opinions. He sounds more negative than ever on his protest tracks, which frankly clouds the messages. I just don't feel the passion like I did in his last 3 records. However, there are some classics in the mix that defy the rule.

My favorite track and message on the record is somewhat of a comedy sketch - "Murs Iz My Manager" (featuring Murs from the Living Legends crew). Murs tries to guide Lif to fame as they discuss how much work it takes to promote yourself and be known in this industry. "Brothaz" is also a favorite. Lif sounds hungry on this track, and El-P spruces it up with a massive heart thumping beat. "Take, Hold, Fire" featuring dope verses by Aesop Rock and El-P remains a favorite. They all perform well under El-P's sick soundscape. The semi-comical "Washtup" and "Long Distance" are probably two of the worst tracks I've yet heard from Lif. I never thought he would delve into such played out repetitive topics as telling your girl to wash "it" up, and a story of a long distance relationship while on tour (beating a dead horse anyone?). The title track finds Akrobatik kicking a sweet verse along with Lif, with Blueprint falling somewhat short. "For You" is a nice personal tribute to his child...a beautiful closer.

Sadly, a lyricist can make or break and album. I'm not saying Lif has lost his touch, as this is a fine record when comparing it to the competition. But if you are a first-timer, I cannot recommend this as your first purchase. Pick up "I Phantom" or "Emergency Rations" first. If you are in my shoes, and you're just starving to hear a new Lif record, by all means buy it! Just don't expect anything revolutionary.

Takes you back.......2007-02-15

This cd takes you back throughout the Winans history. If you're a Winans fan, this cd is for you.

Bargain value for gospel classics..........2004-11-08

The absence of reviews for titles like this clearly proves to me that Amazon does not know how to market gospel music. Here we've got 3 classic Winans CDs, really all the Winans you ever need, admittedly with no frills packaging, at an affordable price. This is quality music, the stuff that formed the foundation of my approach to gospel music along with artists like Walter Hawkins and the Gospel Music Workshop of America.

If you're at all interested in the Winans, purchase this to find out where Commissioned and all those that followed came from. A decent way backwards to this for all you new Fred Hammond fans would be to start with Fred Hammonds new album, get a Fred Hammond mix, get a Commisioned mix, and then get this album to find out where R&B inspired small group male gospel music found its clearest interpreters....

PEACE, PEACE AND GLORY TO GOD.......2004-04-16

I usually don't buy cd's because they so often only have one or two cuts worth listening too. From the beginning song to the end your soul is moved. This is a CD that is a constant play for me. Everyday since I brought this CD I have played it in its entirity or some insert. I am waiting for the next CD to come out. This choir and pastor's anointing must take the next music project higher than this. This is what we need. God's anointing is all through this music, it will move you. Bishop, you have been a good a faithful servent to God in this project. I thank you in the sharing of this anointing.

awesome.......2003-07-17

This is by far one of the best cds that I have bought this year! It is totally an awesome cd. The cd is a true annointing.

ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS!.......2003-01-17

I received this as a monthly selection through a music club. I actually was going to return it but never got around to it. It sat in a box for over a year until I found it and decided to open it. I am so glad I did. I absolutely love this CD! The anointing of God is truly upon every song but my favorite is track 3 There is a Fountain! What A Blessing!

Glory To The Most High God.......2001-07-26

Wow, this CD has really blessed me. I don't usually buy CD's because I'm afraid that I'll only like one or two songs on it. This CD is filled with beautiful songs of praise and worship. Yes, this CD is annointed by the power of God. Everytime that I play it I like to be alone so I can bask in the presence of God. Yes, those songs will truly usher in the presence of the Lord. Some of my favorites are "Let the Rain of Your Presence Fall On Me". "I Came to Magnify". "May the Lord God Bless You Real Good". Oh all of these songs on this CD have truly been a blessing to me. Keep praising God Bishop McClendon!

Freestyle Classics.......2006-01-16

This is a classic freestyle CD with many of the best on one CD. A few of the titles are tough to find on the CD format.

pretty good..........2005-07-31

i already had pretty much all the songs on this cd before i ordered it, but if i find a cd with a lot of songs i like that i don't have to make myself then i grab it (i'm weird like that). this is a non-stop almost 60 minute "mix". the songs are blended at the begining's and end's (nothing very creative about the mixing here) - but the thing i really really like about this disc is that the person(-s?) who compiled the songs chose all the good versions of the tracks (like the original album version of "because of you", the club version of "dreamboy/dreamgirl", the single version of "take me in your arms", etc...) before i got this cd i had never heard "come onto me" and "let me love you for tonight" - "come..." is a great track, but i think this collection could've done without "let me..." (or at least without the vocals)

Love Alive- Best in Gospel Music.......2004-05-05

My mother bought the 8 track tape of Love Alive when I was a kid and I fell in love with it. I was very sad when she gave it away because it was like losing a friend. Some 20 years later, the songs still are some of the finest gospel music has to offer. I have come full circle now. It just doesn't get any better than this.

Great.......2003-06-11

I think that it was one of best recordings that was ever made by them.

Please Lose the Farting SFX.......2001-06-25

The first 24k gold compilation is a little more solid, but there are some good tunes here as well. Both are good compilations and a good starting point for discovering other reggae artists. One drawback I find is that I wish I could hear the whole song, instead of roughly 2 minutes of each song. I guess this is necessary to cram 24 tracks onto the CD. Also, the sound effects get pretty annoying, especially the farting sound. It was funny at first, but gets old quick. I guess Jamaican DJs like to add their signature sound effects over the tunes they play, but I wish they'd just lay off the FX, and leave this to the DUB masters like Scientist and Mikey Dread. (I'd give it 4 stars if it weren't for the annoying sound effects.)

WICKED.......2001-04-15

This album brings back memories and pays tribute to Jamaica's greatest artists. The make up of this album was ingeniuos. It combines some of the greatest lovers and dancehall tracks that are mixed with such precise and melodious riddims. I think this is a "MUST HAVE" album for everyone who loves the reggae genre. IT IS OFF DA HOOK!!!!!!!!!!!
