There's a rule in commercial pop: don't bite the hand that feeds you. Translation? If you're getting love on TRL, it's best leaving well enough alone and tinkering only slightly with the sound that pays your bills. So you have to give Pink a whole heap of credit. The Philly-raised songbird may have made her rep with infectious and rugged pop-R&B hits like "There You Go" and the remake of "Lady Marmalade," but like the fuchsia coif she once sported, that sound is gone. In its place is a more driving alt-rock attack, liberally laced with some late-night blues and heartfelt lyrics that, while they sometimes come off like diary entries (the simplistic bon mot "Your pain is painful" in "Family Portrait"), are clearly Pink's thoughts, as opposed to words someone put in her mouth. Helping Pink express her inner Alanis are Dallas Austin, who produced the insistent rocker "18 Wheeler," and former 4 Non Blonde Linda Perry, who Pink has resurrected from one-hit-wonder status. Mixing up thumping beats, ("Get the Party Started"), with folksy confessionals, Pink's potent vocals and her honest determination make this a risk worth hearing. --Amy Linden

3 out of 5 stars Latest album is much better.......2007-06-28

I LOVE Pink!! The first album I bought was the latest one - "I'm Not Dead", and I love it. So I decided to investigate her earlier work. While I am glad I have "Missundaztood", I didn't find it as compelling as her latest work. Good to see where she has come from though.

5 out of 5 stars understood and admired.......2007-06-12

what a sharp lady...love her latest cd...so thought I'd give her older, breakthrough cd a try...great sound. fresh and original collection. smart, sassy, interesting, sophisticated but fun. love the lyrics. love the variety of different musical styles. pink is cool, and honest and real. and she makes fantastic, memorable tunes....already a classic

5 out of 5 stars One of my favorite albums of all time. She is an amazing songwriter. .......2007-03-26

Not only is Pink an amazing singer, but her lyrics are soo deep and personal. I love people who write about the sad times because a lot of people needs to hear something they can relate to. Family Potrait speaks to a lot of people, including my brother, who overhead the song and keeps requesting me to replay track 7. The whole album is a work of art so it's hard to choose, but if I had to choose, my favorites are Don't let me get me, Just Like a Pill, Family Potrait and Lonely Girl. Pink's voice is soo raw and real that you can actually feel the pain in her voice. Once you listen to this album, you will want hear more. So I will go ahead and let you know that her third album is Try This and her fourth, which is her best thus far is "I'm Not Dead". So please give this album a chance. Pink is a real artist and she will be around for a long time because she is true to herself.

4 out of 5 stars out of the gate and running hard.......2007-03-26

This is Pink's first album to my knowledge. It has some raw studio tape footage that is cute and rough. I loved it. The segments give a good hint of what this ballsy little girl is about, and a preview of the bold, strong woman she became. She has fun with this release and you get to hear it. It is cool to listen to the inside track banter between Pink and the recording engineer. She is a force to be reckoned with; and a sweet lady all in one.

5 out of 5 stars Pink.......2006-12-31

I kind of like this CD. I don't listen to it as much anymore for some reason, but I think I'm overdue to listen to it again. One of my favorite songs on this album is "respect" which talks about how girls should act around guys and how they should not let boys push them around any time the boy thinks it's convenient for them "no freebies in the limosouine that's not what it's about. let 'em know just what to do give it up he won't call you respect is just a minimum, go on girl and get you some" Another song about not letting men push girls around that I really like is "can't get me down". Which talks about getting ready to face the day and anything that might come one's way. I love encouraging songs like that... they really help you face your problems in life. I don't like to many of the songs on here because of the swearing content but I do listen to "Mizundastood" constantly. She only says one swear word in the song but I don't mind. Otherwise I avoid songs on here that have swearing on them. I like this CD otherwise... but if you're under sixteen, I wouldn't recommend it because of the swearing. I forgot to add that another one of my favorite songs is "Don't Let Me Get Me".

4 out of 5 stars A True New Wave Genius.......2007-06-19

"The Pleasure Principle" is the album that contains Gary Numan's biggest chart hit, "Cars". And "Cars" is the only commercial-radio-friendly song on the album. The other tracks, however, are works of pure genius, especially "M.E.", "Engineers", and the masterpiece "Tracks". "Tracks" might be the best two minute song I have ever heard.

Numan is only now being credited for his work practically inventing the entire New Wave movement, and this album certainly stands the test of time as one the classics of the genre. Order it without hesitation, slip on your headphones, and prepare for a real listening treat.

5 out of 5 stars best album ever.......2007-04-24

Someone once asked me what my favorite album of all time is. That is of course a very difficult question to answer. But I'll have to choose Gary Numan's The Pleasure Principle because it is the only album of which I've been in continuous possession of for the past 25 years; first as a cassette and then a CD. I can't say that of any other album and I've listened to hundreds. If you like this record then go get Replicas and Telekon. If you like those two then try out I, Assassin.

5 out of 5 stars We're so exposed..........2007-03-30

Numan's sole association for some is still his 1979 hit Cars. It's a shame, because the album it hails from is an excellent record and holds up remarkably well all these years later.

This is a notable rock achievement---a rock album with no guitars. The synthesizers (Minimoog and Polymoog) are put through some guitar pedals and create some big, fat, fuzzy sounds that are pitched, distorted, swished, whatever. The bass and drums are `real', and Numan continues the sci-fi-robot-future-Phillip K Dick-inspired rock. As on Replicas, the hooks seem effortless.

There are a number of Numan classis in addition to Cars, some of them still regularly performed live. Films, for instance, is a funky, menacing number. Metal is a live staple, covered and remixed numerous times and still working. Conversation is another rambling, robot-inspired number with a long synth breakdown at the end, similar to Cars. M.E. is another dark and menacing number, now well-known for the Basement Jaxx use of the sample riff.

Many folks now acknowledge this as an important, influential album, yet Numan remains cult (if at all in the US). The Pleasure Principle is cohesive, the sound has aged incredibly well, and it's ahead of it's time for 1979--not bad for a kid. The remastered and reissued Beggar's Banquet discs are all excellent. The b-sides (three of them) are atmospheric and completely in line with the mood of the album--kind of dark, mechanical, but effortlessly catchy. The live tracks (four) are of excellent quality and come from the Living Ornaments series of live albums (also highly recommended). With a `distant' sound, warm synths, and dark lyrics, Numan was in his own world.

5 out of 5 stars A True Gem.......2007-03-08

The Pleasure Principle, the 1979 New Wave outing from synthpop pioneer Gary Numan is a very enjoyable affair. This is almost-pure (Numan adds electric viola, bass, and acoustic drums to his huge Minimoog sound) cold and melodic synthpop that sounds both modern and dated.
Highlights include the songs "Metal", "Films", "ME", "Observer", and the perennial New Wave favorite "Cars". The sound is excellent and this reissue from the fine UK indie label Beggar's Banquet contains extensive liner notes and photos. Ah...that Minimoog sound!

5 out of 5 stars Another Album That Changed Pop Music........2007-02-19

There were many synth pioneers before Gary Numan: Brian Eno, Wendy Carlos, Pierre Boulez and John Cage among others.

Numan's contemporaries like Ultravox never had a hit in the same stratosphere as "Cars".

What makes The Pleasure Principle so crucial, so pivotal in Pop music was that through "Cars", Gary Numan was able to introduce the mainstream audience to synthesizers better than anyone before him. "Cars" brought them to The Pleasure Principle, and The Pleasure Principle introduced them to synthesizers.

David Bowie's Berlin trilogy of Heroes, Low and Lodger(which included Brian Eno playing on much of them) preceded Numan , but they were more ambient(Heroes and Low) and eclectic(Lodger). Hits like "Heroes" had prominent guitars.

The Pleasure Principle has zero guitars.
It does however have Viola.
And Billy Currie of Ultravox also played Violin on a couple of tracks.

No guitars, mostly synth, some violin and viola.

Does that sound like a hit record?

My favorite track is still "Airlane." It is a simple and beautiful piece that opens the album perfectly.

The single Cars was heavy in synths, (even used synth drums) and yet followed a more pop sensibility.

It's not going to have the complexity of a great Philip Glass work or a Brian Eno album.
And that's the point. The Pleasure Principle was an electronic record that showed a whole new audience how beautiful a synthesizer can sound.

A lot of Electronic bands owe a bit of appreciation to the legacy and influence this album left -including Evening Ocean.

The Pleasure Principle is a classic CD that is still amazing today.

Highly recommended.

4 out of 5 stars 'Emotions' Runs High and Shows Mariah's Vocal Range To Great Effect.......2007-07-07

Not one to contently bask in the glow of her burning fame in the early 1990's, Mariah Carey grabbed her lunch pail and quickly churned out a very enjoyable follow-up to her debut smash 'Mariah Carey'. With the enormous success of her first CD, it was an intimidating act for any artist to follow it up. But she succeeds admirably with 'Emotions'.

It shows Mariah was no fluke, displaying notes and pitch-perfect vocals that even today very few female singers can match. But not all the songs are keepers. I usually play only the first 5 songs and skip the last 5. My favorite is still 'Make It Happen'. The power and range Mariah displays on this track is remarkable. She pierces the heavens with her high notes and enormous lung power. I think Mariah really sings this song like she means it because she's writing the song from personal experience to not give up on her dreams of 'Making It'.

I think Tommy Mottola used 'Emotions' as a follow-up CD to spotlight Mariah's voice more so than the songs themselves. You can hear every part of Mariah's vocal range in the choice of songs on this CD. Obviously her upper range gets more of a workout on this CD than any other one in her entire Sony/Virgin/Island catalog. I think 'Emotions' was released as a vehicle to show her vocal chops and it succeeded in every way.

I wouldn't say the quality of songs is right up there compared with her debut CD or later ones (especially 'Daydreams'), but her vocal high register has never sounded better. Keep that tea kettle whistling, Mariah !

5 out of 5 stars This hasn't aged at all.......2007-01-21

While never a mega-fan of Mariah's, I was bowled over by her voice, the fact that she wrote her own songs, and that she released another album full of strong material just a little over a year after her debut. Some folks would have suffered creative burnout, but Mariah was just getting started.

I bought a copy of her self-titled 1990 debut, but I never did get around to owning a copy of "Emotions" (something that's going to change very soon). I don't why because I remember "Emotions," "Can't Let Go" (which, as much as I roll my eyes over love songs, has one of the prettiest melodies I've ever heard with a love song), and "Make It Happen" getting constant radio airplay in 1991 - and I enjoyed those songs each and every time.

Her lyrics were poetic and struck a chord with the then-teenager me, and her sound, while pop, had strong soulful overtones. She helped continue breathing life into a stale music scene and that feeling still resonates with me a little over 15 years after its release.

It can't be said enough that "Emotions" is classic 90s, is a great addition to the CD collection, and is Mariah at the top of her game.

And, best of all, the album's sound doesn't sound aged. - Donna Di Giacomo

4 out of 5 stars Mariah Carey Causes Emotions: 4-4½ stars.......2006-07-26

As Mariah Carey released her second album in 1991, an enormous pressure laid on her shoulders to follow up the success of her debut album. Despite the fact that sales of Emotions did not reach the same level as Mariah Carey, it still manage to do extremely well, selling over a whopping 10 million copies. Not bad for a sophomore album!

The title-track Emotions was released to audience as the lead single, providing listeners with a contagious pop beat. The song displays Mariah's high pitch notes and awesome background vocals which include Trez Lorenz and David Cole. And You Don't Remember is a superb ballad where Mariah's pleading voice belts out how her lover does not remember the love, they shared. The chorus is a delight to listen too - simply wonderful. My favourite song on the album is up next; the splendid Can't Let Go. It is no wonder that many consider it among Mariah's best ballads to date. Released as a single, the groovy Make It Happen got stuck at the no.2 position, I recall. However, the teasingly song is a wonderful treat. The overall message of the song: You should never give up, work hard and your dreams will come true in the end. If It's Over, a collaboration between Mariah and Carole King, has a taunt of a jazzy mood to it. Mariah Carey belts out the chorus powerfully. Once again, I prefer the Unplugged version - however, this is purely a matter of taste.

You're So Cold starts of with Mariah's praticing her vocal cords, functioning as a build-up to the actual song. The lyrics are a tad annoying, yet the song is still quite joyous. Albums tend to get weaker at the end, which is also the case with Emotions. To Be Around You, Till The End of Time and The Wind are likeable songs, however they do not hold up well against the rest of the album's excellent songs. The ballad-like So Blessed is another highlight of mine. The dreamy melody culminates with the more aggressive chorus especially the belting of the words ''You are my heart'' followed by the softer ''My everthing'''.

Emotions is one of Mariah Carey's best studio-albums, in my opinion. The combination of brilliant pop ballads and excellent up-tempo songs are clearly present on the album. If you are a big fan of Mariah's poppier songs or crafted pop songs in general, Emotions will surely be a safe bet. The only complaint I have with the album is that some of the material is a tad weak compared to the brilliant songs, which are to be found on Emotions; however, this is hardly abnormal. Emotions is a very solid effort and a better album than Mariah's debut.

Overall Rating: 8.5/10

5 out of 5 stars Emotions Album by Mariah Carey.......2006-05-22

my fave song is "Emotions" my other one is "Make it Happen". my mom jams to emotions in the car,also Fantasy,Open Arms,and Always be my baby from "Daydream - Mariah's cd in 1995", she also sings WE BELONG TOGETHER (2005). My mom only likes mariah's old songs. mostly open arms and vision of love.
and half of the songs 1998-present

5 out of 5 stars Fantastic.......2006-02-18

Mariah Carey burst onto the music scene with her fantastic self-titled debut album, and followed it up with her second album "Emotions". Essentially "Emotions" is in the same mould as her first album - beautiful vocals, heartfelt lyrics and an emotional connection with every songs.
Standouts in this album include:
"Emotions" - a good dancing track that features Mariah's piercing vocals.
"Can't Let go" - a beautiful ballad. One of Mariah's best songs
"Make it Happen" - A description of Mariah's life prior to becoming a superstar. Very catchy and uplifting
"The wind" - Very last track of the album. Mournful, breathtaking vocals combined with Mariah's sombre voice. Truly Phenomenal
Emotions is a truly magnificent album, featuring a wonderful collection of songs, each one a true delight to listen to.

Lindsay Lohan leaps into her much anticipated debut CD with a blast of something that simulates warmed-over Led Zeppelin (the lyrically ferocious "First") and from there finesses it into a stylish experiment in pounding away at teen pop's predictability. Influences--not all of whom her 8-to-14-year-old fans will flip to, or even find, in their pinup mags--loom large: While the Ashlee Simpson-like rocker "Nobody 'Til You" winds into the Jessica Simpson-y "Symptoms of You," the lovelorn "Something I Never Had," taps a sweetly unself-conscious vocal vein that owes gratitude to the otherwise highly un-Lohan-like Lisa Loeb. Though Lohan might balk at the comparison--she is, after all, the "Ultimate"-spawning original teenage drama queen--fellow tween queen Hilary Duff's stamp is pressed firmly into stormy self-explorers like "Disconnected" and "Anything But Me." Where "Speak" intones loudest, though, is in its least-rocking, most beat-propelled songs: The title track dips and bounces tantalizingly, begging hands-in-the-air listeners to "c'mon and let it out"; "To Know Your Name" digitizes a sexy hip-hop inflected dance number; and "Rumors," a J. Lo-like thumper (and one in a trifecta of pouts over the pitfalls of stardom) ends this disc on a don't-stop, bound-for-diva-dom note. -Tammy La Gorce

This album was pretty good. I'm not a fan of Lindsay Lohan, but her music is pretty upbeat. I had all the albums to another singer I love, and thought maybe I'll try Lindsay, and see what she's like. It's not bad, but it's not the best either. The songs I like are First, Speak, and Rumors.

5 out of 5 stars Come on and let it out!.......2007-03-16

Lindsay Lohan has succeeded in producing a fantastic album. Though not in the finesse of stars like Jessica Simpson or Delta Goodrem, Lindsay brings her own attitude and attributes to a new and refreshing album. Lyrics are well done, and most songs are co-written by Kara DioGaurdi, who has written many songs for other musicians and film soundtracks.
There are rock tracks such as Disconnected and Rumours, to the more heartfelt tracks such as Something I Never Had and Very Last Moment in Time.
Although other reviewers have critized Lindsays work, saying its terrible, they may not realise she hasn't been dropped from her label and has even released a second album A Little More Personal. How bad can it be if she has two albums under her belt??

4 out of 5 stars Light leisure listening.......2007-02-27

Lindsay Lohan's "Speak" is not a deep, meaningful album, whatever that might be. And Lindsay should concentrate more on acting than singing. Nevertheless, "Speak" is an enjoyable pop album. It's got bouncy, catchy tunes and Lohan's voice is actually kind of interesting. "Speak" is a good album to throw on while doing stuff around the house or as background music to reading. You'll catch yourself tapping your foot. Overall, a pleasant surprise. The record has genuine merit to it and is not just something put out by a celebrity for the purpose of doing a "project" in another art form than the one they're already established in, which is the criticism from other reviewers. Solid job by Lindsay. Now if she just works at cleaning up her life.

5 out of 5 stars Pay no attention to the other reviews!!!.......2007-02-11

What can i say I LOVE this album. It's a little edgy, somewhat pop, but real good listen. It's more Lindsay Lohan in freaky friday type music than the pop music in Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen. If you are expecting more songs like "Rumors" than this is not the album for you. If you are into Kelly Clarkson's "Breakaway" album then this is a good buy. Def worth the money.

On Never Gone, the Backstreet Boys crib from the pop foundation they helped establish. Like a lot of smart popsters on the rebound, the reunited fab five broach their return by borrowing from the current hit makers. Even after a four-year hiatus, the flecks of new influence won't matter a bit to the fans. The boys' signature sugar-coated yearning softens every song to a melty consistency, and the lyrics haven't lost any of their babe-magnet pull. "It's all so dark and mysterious/When the one you want doesn't want you," sing the chiseled Lotharios on "Siberia." And on the final title track, a swirling crescendo sums up the sentiments of millions of heartsick, former teen devotees: "Never gone, never far/In my heart is where you are." -Tammy La Gorce

My biggest complaint about this album is the lack of the Darren Hayes penned track Lift Me Up, they said in interviews that is was not up to par with the rest of the album and I could not disagree more. The boys didn't have hardly anything to do with the writing on this album, which is not my complaint, but the Darren Hayes track could have over powered almost any track on the entire album. I have the Darren Hayes version and the BSB version and they are both stellar. BSB do an awesome job on the track which is hard for me to say because I am a Darren Hayes fanatic and I wonder what they were thinking when they left this track of the release and didn't even include it as a B-Side. Anyway, Never Gone is a solid album, just pissed they didn't include the Darren Hayes track because it eclipses most of the songs on the album. A solid return and something new. A good album, just could have been slightly better. Too bad for the US fans, we get no bonus tracks unless we buy the import version of the album which is always better than the US release. Record companys give the US the worst version of any album no matter what the artist. Compare any import album to any US release and you will find the US release to be stripped in comparison.

5 out of 5 stars Backstreet's Back Alright!.......2006-11-19

Oh My God They're Back Again!
I love this album! The rock 'n' roll numbers the guys do are awesome. I like all the songs on this album except "Crawling Back To You". The group won't be the same without Kevin Richardson, though. I can't wait for their new 2007 album... nor can I wait for AJ's solo album either. I'm sure they will both be good. KTBSPA!

5 out of 5 stars Closet fan coming out with a rave review.......2006-08-16

I do not like fluffy pop music. I do not like boy bands. I do not like drum machines. I do not like sappy, whiny love ballads. I do not like teen idols.

Yet here I am, with the bold truth that I really, really like this album, because this one does not (for the most part) descend into the pitfalls any of those things.

This review is for the other closet fans like me who are sneaking peeks at the reviews to see if they want to step up and make the purchase. This is for the people who find that the Backstreet Boys' music here is, to their pleasant surprise, a decent exception to the shallow, mindless, Top-40 crap being cranked out by today's pop culture. This isn't what you'd expect from this band. It's better; it goes a long way to break them out of the boy-band stereotypes.

Here's the thing: I don't know any of their names. I couldn't pick any of them out of a line-up to save my life. All I know is that I like what I hear. If you like good harmonies, and you like good music to go with it, that's enough.

Of course, not every track will be to your liking. Even CDs by my way-favorite artists are never full of ringers from start to finish. But they hit it out of the park with "Incomplete," "My Beautiful Woman," and my favorite track, "Siberia." Great stuff. Take a listen on the Amazon preview there. It won't do it all justice, but you'll get the idea.

All right, that's that; let it be known that this album has made me a fan who would probably actually buy tickets to see the Backstreet Boys if they came to town.

5 out of 5 stars I loved it!.......2006-08-14

I think that the Backstreet Boys are the most talented boy band ever, (and my favorite musical group personally), and the album Never Gone was a great example of that talent. Although I loved their other albums, this one has to be one of my favorites because of its mature and powerful sound. I do miss the dance pop sound, but this album shows that as they get older they can also get better. I loved the powerful ballads, "Just Want You to Know" "Lose it All" and "Safest Place To Hide." Those three along with "Poster Girl", which had a very unique sound, are my favorites on the CD. Anyone who has a problem with boy bands can listen to this album before they say anything bad about them. Obviously they have loads of talent!

5 out of 5 stars BEAUTIFUL, POWERFUL, SLICK AND MATURE!.......2006-07-23

I can't stop playing this CD since I first purchased it in June 2005. There is a mixture of fast and slow songs, however, it is full of songs that touch my heart. A beautiful CD full of strong, mature and powerful songs for every fan as well as people who wouldn't normally give this group a second glance. I was never much of a fan at the height of their popularity, however, once I bought this CD (the first of theirs I bought) I was in for a luxuriously, wonderful surprise. It is my favourite CD of the last 14 months and I listen to it regularly.

For anyone who has ever lost someone they loved, this CD has some special songs on it that just touch your heart and soul in a way I don't often hear in music anymore. I am referring to songs like Safest Place To Hide, Siberia, Rush Over Me (available on the UK version of the CD), I Still and of course, the powerful song, Never Gone. I can't tell you how many times I have played these songs.

I highly recommend this CD for all of you reading these reviews and who have yet to purchase the disc. You will thoroughly enjoy it! (but do not expect the previous BSB type of music!).

Now I can't wait for their new CD which they are currently in the studio recording! I also quite like Brian Littrell's debut CD ''Welcome Home'' which has just been released.

Electric Six is the most exciting band to come tumbling out of Detroit since Kiss. Sporting grimy leisure suits and hilarious stage names (the guitarists are known only as Surge Joebot and the Rock and Roll Indian), the ragtag group comes up with a deliriously catchy disco trash sound on its smart, hyperactive debut. Studio 54 horns mingle anxiously with AC/DC-influenced garage riffs, while frontman Dick Valentine rants maniacally over jerky, suggestive punk-funk songs like "Gay Bar" and "I'm the Bomb." Plus, rumor suggests that single "Danger! High Voltage" features the White Stripes' Jack White on backing vocals and, less plausibly, Bill Clinton on saxophone. How cool is that? Very. --Aidin Vaziri

Album Description

Detroit's Electric Six splice punk, new wave, disco, and arena rock into a total entertainment solution for the new breed of rock n' roller. 'This single is...pure driving disco-rock, complete with a new wave saxophone solo and ridiculous lyrics. Easily one of the best rock songs of the past year' - NY Times. 'Hold on, have the White Stripes gone Studio 54?' XL Records. 2003.

5 out of 5 stars Ignore the critics...classic underrated gem.......2006-06-06

Unfortunately many music critics have a pre-occupation with "credibility" which is deemed as "any singer/band whose lead singers have a messianic complex, whose music is bland and barely listenable and has attempted suicide. It helps if the singer is noticeably drugged-up". If you are like me and like pop, techno and hard rock, you'll love Electric Six. E6 combine a bold fusion of disco and hard rock with a sexed-up singer who sounds like he's got four balls and they're all on fire.

Everything here's about girls, dancing, fire and nuclear war. Nearly all tracks are great these are my favourites in descending order

Nuclear War (on the dance floor)
Dance Commander
Improper Dancing

5 out of 5 stars This CD is more explosive than a nuclear war.......2006-05-04

I LOVE this album. Techno-dance-disco-metal-punk-parody-garage rock! This album, and this band, do it all and do it all amazingly well.

Dance Commander starts the CD with all the power and fury of... what else, a nuclear war! If this song doesn't capture you, then you have problems.

Electric Demons in Love, Naked Pictures, Danger High Voltage, She's White, I Invented the Night, Gay Bar, Improper Dancing, and Synthesizer are all OUTSTANDING tracks. I'm the Bomb is great too- the only song on here that is not brilliant is The Jam in my opinion. Once I put this album on I can't stop listening until it's all over- it's very captivating. Musically, it's pure genius.

Easily the best album of 2003 by a long shot.

Toni Braxton delivers Libra nearly a decade after she busted up the R&B landscape with her gut-wrenching appeal, on 1996's Secrets, that a wayward lover un-break her heart. Back then, Kenneth "Babyface" Edmonds was helming her records, and with his sound came a certain spun-silk smooth, wistful sensibility. Braxton may have been one of his better students, but Babyface's sound didn't hold up (for proof, check his own 2005 disc, Grown & Sexy). Where some breathy, smoky-voiced sirens might have called it a day, scampering off into career obscurity with their six Grammys in tow, Braxton resists the temptation to quit or to satiate the faithful with a yawny record; Libra, more than just a vehicle for evolving, adapting, and overcoming, is among the freshest, most tastefully done R&B discs to come out in 2005. Highlights belong strictly to the first half, with opener "Please" swinging wide the door for what will universally be recognized as this disc's two best tracks: "Trippin' (That's the Way Love Works)" belongs to that oft-strived-for league of songs that merit the tag "irresistible," and "Take this Ring," with its blaxploitation-film soundtrack effects, splices in just enough funk--and the right kind--to fuel a thousand replays. --Tammy La Gorce

Customer Reviews:

3 out of 5 stars Good Job.......2007-04-24

I got this CD from my best friend who is a die hard Toni B fan. I didn't listen to it until a few weeks ago and I am very much into it. It is very good. I love " What's Good" and "Please". Although it is missing that big hit like "Just be a man about it" or "Unbreak my heart", it still is holding its own.

Once again, I blame the record company for not putting money or promotion/publicity behind this CD. I think it would have definitely been a huge success for her.

I hear that her Vegas show is doing well. You go Toni!

4 out of 5 stars Solid...But Not Flawless.......2007-02-23

This effort put out by Ms.Braxton was a solid album but the album was too short. Blackground could've not been cheap and throw in Toni's usually 12 tracks. None the less the best songs are the ballads. "Take This Ring" produced by Rich Harrison sounds like it belongs on an Amerie album. His stuff sounds pretty much the same and that doesn't fit Toni's signature style. The best cuts are "Please", "Trippin", "Midnite", "Stupid", and "S'posed". The album worth a listen. Good effort!

5 out of 5 stars Highly recommended!.......2006-12-15

Toni Michelle Braxton is an all-American success story. The eldest of six children born to a Maryland clergyman, she started out singing in choir of her father's church. But, her wonderful smoky, smooth and deep contralto voice could not stay hidden for long. The rest, as they say, is history.

This wonderful album contains ten great Toni Braxton tunes including some favorites of mine - What's Good, I Wanna Be, and Stupid. Yeah, this is a great album, with a lot of really great tunes on it. If you like great music, then you will love this album. I highly recommend it!

4 out of 5 stars Nice Effort.......2006-12-15

This is a nice CD from Toni. However, it is a little too short. Nonetheless, I really enjoyed this CD.

5 out of 5 stars Great album, but a word to the wise..........2006-08-28

.....DO NOT buy the regular US release of Libra! Spend the extra money and buy the german import from edel records (yes, amazon sells that version). The import has 3 more songs than the US version, and if you buy the US version you only get ten songs (how cheap of Blackground, huh!?). And the 3 bonus songs on the import version are fantastic.

Static-X and their 1999 debut, Wisconsin Death Trip, seemed to garner more interest for singer Wayne Static's gravity-defying hairstyle than for the L.A.-based lineup's genre-defying music. The aptly titled sophomore outing, Machine, is the worthy, if expected, follow-up. The intense, mechanized, futuristic metal found here comes across as a thrash version of Orgy, with a dollop of Ministry and a dash of Powerman 500 tossed in for extra punch. The intense, short bursts that are "Get to the Gone" and "This Is Not" are forceful and demanding, thanks to Static's growl-scream and the rhythmic power of the music. The spooky "Cold" and epic album closer, "A Dios Alma Perdida," would be suitable for a horror-movie soundtrack, while "Otsego Undead" kicks off with a welcome organic drum sound, though the song never really goes anywhere--a problem that resurfaces throughout Machine. Indeed, the album's revved-up vibe, monster riffs, and irresistible energy are all ultimately held down by a dearth of memorable songs. --Katherine Turman

3 out of 5 stars Sophomore slump, but not a bad record........2007-05-14

After WI Death Trip, they were primed for a let-down, because that was such a great record. And this is a let-down, to a certain extent, because it doesn't pack the emotional wallop that WDT did. This is their worst record, but still better than most of the junk out there nowadays. Check out their new one, Cannibal.

5 out of 5 stars Great cd.......2007-04-18

Ill make this short and sweet: Its not Wisconsin Death Trip but its pretty close to it. Why cant people let artist change? Metallica made some pretty crappy music after The Black Album but not all of it was bad. Just because no song gets stuck in your heads like Push It doesnt mean this band isnt great. I do recommend you avoid Shadow Zone and Cannibal. Those cds arent the best examples of how great this band is.

4 out of 5 stars A fairly good & definitely underrated album.......2006-09-15

Though the same basic qualities and ingredients which helped define Static-X's debut, 1999's "Wisconsin Death Trip," are brought back for this, their sophomore album, it's unfounded and confusing to claim "Machine" is simply a rehash. Though not exactly an innovative musical departure or creative step forward for the band, anybody with ears should be able to tell you (from listening to just the first thirty-seconds of this disc) that Static-X turbo-charged their sound at least three-fold. "WDT" sounded influenced equally by heavy and industrial metal, and sounded in the same league as classic Ministry and White Zombie. "Machine," on the other hand, draws influence only from heavy metal and...uh...heavier metal. The result is a record which is unashamed to rock hard and pack an immense punch.

Frontman Wayne Static's commanding vocals, which alternate between visceral bellows and freaky howls, are laid on top of mountains of massive, revved-up riffs, hard hitting drums, breakneck tempos, deep, bludgeoning grooves, and huge, roaring rhythms. Wayne's occasional use of techno-ish keyboards try to create a tiny bit of ambience, but they're almost always drowned out by the bullying, wall-of-sound guitars. Lastly, producer Ulrich Wild also had a hand in the songs' crushing impact, because every second of this disc sounds the utmost clear, forceful, and crisp.

After a brief, kind of funny intro called "Bien Venidos," the first real song, "Get To The Gone," tears your head off. Its beginning consists of brutal, rapid-fire, pulverizing power chords, pounding beats, and long, primal screams. This song is a shockingly loud and intense adrenaline onslaught which will probably scare unsuspecting listeners almost to death. And from there until the album's end, the intensity level almost never relents. The very catchy yet very depressing "Black And White," and the hooky, chanting vocals and despair-ridden lyrics in the climactic chorus of "This Is Not" are two other obvious highlights. And "Otsego Undead" (which is a fairly restrained number featuring twinkling synthesizers, slow drum beats, spacey feedback, and punching riffs), the bone-chilling "Cold," the Fear Factory-esque, adrenaline-charged thrash attack and memorable vocals of "Structural Defect," the superbly ominous and kind of creepy title track, and the slow, mysteriously subdued instrumental, "A Dios Alma Perdida" (which draws the album to a close), are also of note.

This kind of music almost inevitably comes with a few drawbacks, though. "Machine" isn't nearly as timeless or original as "Wisconsin Death Trip," mainly because it lacks "live" energy, and thus sounds significantly more mechanical. And a couple parts here (see "Permanence") are overly reliant on big riffs, but the actual song doesn't really go anywhere or progress. Be warned: "Machine"'s harsh, maniacal, crushing, discordant, amelodic sound, one-dimensional vocals, and typically depressing lyrics will surely be hard for some people to swallow. But this disc is still a worthwhile listen for fans of Static-X's debut (and even if you didn't like it, you should still give "Machine" a chance!), and also for everybody who enjoys techno/nu/industrial-thrash metal.

5 out of 5 stars Not quite as good as Wisconsin Death Trip, but very enjoyable. (4.5 stars).......2006-07-04

I really liked Wisconsin Death Trip, so when Wayne and the boys released "Machine" 2 years later I was all over it. I wasnt disappointed, but it was missing something...

Wisconsin Death Trip had a more Idustrial sound to it. Machine is just more of a straight edge Alternative Metal album. Sure, there are some Industrial overtones to the album, but not like in WDT. Thats the reason it only really get 4.5 stars from me (damn, Amazon needs to change their rating system!).

All in all this is a good album, just dont expeect another Wisconsin Death Trip.

1 out of 5 stars This album makes me wet my pants full of man jam!.......2006-02-12

That's because it's so godly not to mention heavy! I mean, if you're looking for machine-gun double bass, dual, shredding guitars, twisted solos and growls and screams that make your hair stand on end, this is the band to listen to! From the first few notes you can definitely tell they know how to play their instruments, write clever, catchy songs and sing like the Dark Lord himself! Oops! After just thinking about this music I have to change my pants again!

Well I hope you got my sarcasm. I don't know what to say about Static-X. They are easily one of the worst metal bands out there. At least they don't have all the sales like the other overrated, s**t, metal bands out there like Linkin Park.

Seriously, this band is crap. They also look like a bunch of homos too. Yeah, you're so hardcore when you spike your hair 3 feet high or sport dreadlocks. You're also hardcore when you wear clothes even the kids from Hot Topic sneer at. Oh, and you're definitely a good guitar/bass player when you hold your instrument so low to the ground that you have to bend over to play it. (They're very familiar with that position so it comes very naturally to them.)

What can I say? Less rim jobs, more practice and more effort when it comes to writing. Oh yeah, they also need to stop trying to get back at your parents. I know they hate mommy and daddy for not giving them ALL the money they wanted and for not giving them rides to the mall, but when you're 30 it's time to let it go.

But like I said, extreme metal at its finest.

5 out of 5 stars A good value.......2007-05-17

I wasn't expecting to have 4 discs for this price, and the music is a quality selection of film music, giving a good scope of the genre, and a very listenable transfer.

4 out of 5 stars The Sound Track Since Bernard Hermann.......2006-07-25

This collection is bound to capture your heart and evoke a tin ear on successive tracks. I found much to like and some duds - easy to skip over.
Very good value.

For the price, this CD is a great bargain. The musical selections, as you might expect, are mixed in quality ranging from extraordinary to so so, the balance being worthwhile and interesting. Sonically the CD is excellent.

5 out of 5 stars The music takes me back to 1988.......2007-05-13

Me and my best friend from elementary school back in the 80's, could listen to this music for hours!

5 out of 5 stars I can't help it.......2004-06-30

As big of a music snob as I am, I can't help but go back into my music collection and listen to some of the cds/tapes that I grew up on, namely '80s music. Having grew up in the '80s, I will always have a soft spot for '80s music. Bananarama is one of those '80s pop acts that I will always have a soft spot for. I just loved their music, namely "Cruel Summer", "Venus", and "I Heard a Rumor". While The Bangles and The Go Go's were more rock orientated, girl groups such as Expose and Bananarama were vocal groups. Yeah the music videos for "Venus" and "I Heard A Rumor" were pretty silly, if not stupid but the songs were so much fun to listen to. They are unbelievably catchy. The songs always sticks in my head but unlike Jennifer Lopez's music, I actually like Bananarama's music. My favorite Bananarama song definitely is "Cruel Summer", the ultimate summer song. Although Ace of Base did a fine job covering the Bananarama song, I definitely prefer the trio's version. I also adore "Love in the First Degree" and "Robert De Niro's Waiting". Although they didn't get any airplay here in the states (as far as I know), they were just as irresistably catchy as the group's more famous songs. The girls' harmonies were excellent. Gimme Bananarama over Wilson Phillips any day.

5 out of 5 stars A Simple Pleasure!!!!.......2003-10-25

I used to love this group when I was a little girl and I used to listen to their songs on the radio and now I have finally found there songs I really do enjoy these songs because they take me down memory lane and I reminsce about all of the good times I had when I was a kid and basically I just like their music. I would recommend anyone who likes 1980's new wave music to buy this album this is a great compilation. My favorite songs on this album are: He was really saying something, Cruel Summer, I heard a rumor, and venus this is really a nice album and I would really reccommend anyone to buy this album!!!!!

5 out of 5 stars Unadulterated Fun.......2002-01-14

Until the Spice Girls invaded the planet with their brand of Girl Power, Bananarama ruled the roost with their consistent brand of fun-don't-give-a-damn pop music, which only had one mission - Fun. This Greatest Hits collection explains the timelessness of the Fun Girl Three, dividing their worldwide successes into two part - the early years & the Stock Aiken & Waterman Years. Both parts yielded equal successes & one listen to this CD brings you back in time to when pop was accessible without being overtly marketed. From the summery tunes of NaNaNaNa (Kiss Him Goodbye) to the funky percussion of Cruel Summer, the Bananas brought a smile to the world. Messy hairdos & ripped jeans, the girls only relied on their music & attitude to sell records (hence saving all that money spent on designer clothes for going down the pub). The SAW years saw their star shining brighter than ever. Venus is perhaps the most brilliant pop song ever done - & almost 16 years later still has an oomph & longevity that few bands can legitimately achieve. Became a US No.1 also. I Heard A Rumour, Love In The First Degree & I Can't Help It ensured that the charts were sufficiently set alight. Personal fave is their cover version of Help! (with French & Saunders & Kathy Burke - comic & brilliant). One other irony is their cover of The Supremes' (who prior to the Bananas were the best selling female group ever) Nathan Jones. Proved the girls could sing & give a song their unique verve. Bananas, we salute you & all who have sailed in you.

5 out of 5 stars "...and Venus was her name..."!.......2001-10-04

I LOVED this song! As a little girl, I would listen to pop music stations for HOURS just to hear Bananarama's version of "Venus". And since I loved "Venus" so much-I started listening to their other songs and became a Bananarama fan. Their sound was very different-it couldn't be easily placed in any one musical category-which is why I love this Greatest Hits CD! It is still fun, carefree music that can make you move!
