Marilyn Manson started out as a depraved, marginally talented group of freaks that played a caustic but undeveloped brand of metallic industrial noise. Then Trent Reznor stepped into the studio for seven months with the band, and Manson emerged with the most intense, visceral, mechanical metal album since The Downward Spiral. Antichrist Superstar is a horror-house of grisly atrocities that stains as indelibly as a bathful of warm blood. Brooding rhythms collide with corrosive samples and buzzsaw guitar riffs, while vocalist Marilyn croons irresistible melodies in the voice of a vagrant regurgitating broken light-bulb shards. Essential listening, regardless of how much input Reznor had. --Jon Wiederhorn

Marilyn Manson is a supernaturally gifted genius........2007-07-16

It's no wonder he has intimidated sooo many people from old school metalheads to christians and goths. He stepped too far out of a lot of peoples comfort zone.
Antichrist Superstar is in my opinion his ultimate. Each song is a masterpiece and you never get bored because its so orchestrated in sound dimension, he manipulates his voice so perfectly whereas most imitators just sound like cookie monster. The horror samples perfectly enhance each song without distraction.
It's funny because I use to hate Marilyn Manson, BUT it was only right-wingers manipulations and lies, until I gave this cd one listen... now nothing compares!
Anti-people, now you've gone to far, so here's your Antichrist, Superstar.

Friend? introduced me to this satan worshiper? and sum years later I listened to my roommate in college and threw it in the dumpster-- anyone in my opinion that goes on MTV and appears occult, then opinions will be, but honestly, as I threw the album away i felt a presence lift out of my body.

Dark art with style and a purpose.......2007-05-15

I don't listen to this band very often but this is just one of those classic - totally awesome albums that I can play anytime. Experience it all the way through -don't skip a track. Notice the lyrics -they are a special part of this album. Moody, violent, revolting, political, beautiful. This is powerful -brutally honest expression. It literally makes you feel ill. I love this cd -what a great work of art by Marilyn Manson.

The Controversial Classic.......2007-04-26

This was really racey for its 1996 year of release, they're reaqlly prejudice and are stuck in the 50s. The music itself is a mix of industrial and metal, and a number of classic tracks like the title track and Angel with the Scabbed Wings. It was marketed at alty fringe groups, but got its way in the hands of middle American white trash kids who hadn't heard of heavy metal music, industrial or satanism before, making it a tongue in cheek mess. Catupolted Manson and his band to worldwide fame and was certified platinum.

The Best of the Goos.......2007-02-20

I have been a fan of the Goo Goo Dolls since the early 90's, pretty much since the release of "Name" Shortly after I got their next CD; "Dizzy Up the Girl", I found out that they had released a few CDs that went under the radar because of their label. Their Self-titled CD was pretty hard to find (I got it about 6 years ago), Jed (I found out that "Goo Goo Dolls" is the same way) was over the top garage/Punk rock that was too loud for it's own good and was poorly written. In "Hold Me Up" I could see that the band began to mature, both as a band and as individuals. The tracks were a bit more memorable and interesting. Then I got to the pinacle of the GGDs. "Superstar Carwash" is the very best work the three from Buffalo have ever done. It is not geared to be played on the radio. It is not for the PR guy, trying to sell a CD. It is written by the band, for the band and that's it. It is the perfect mix of Johnny's ballads and Robbie's rock. "Girl Right Next to Me" is the prototype of this successful combanation. I highly recommend this CD to anyone that enjoys the B-side (meaning non-singles) music from the GGDs. If you like the commercial music that the Dolls have been pumping out lately, this CD will not work for you. If you like "January Friend" from "Dizzy Up the Girl" and "Flat-Top" from "A Boy Named Goo", then you will enjoy this CD as much as I do. I also hope that Johnny, Robbie and Mike get back to their roots and write more songs a long the lines of this CD and "A Boy Named Goo" for their next CD.

That's right, 5 stars.......2006-12-06

There's really only one weak track (every record has one) which I just don't play and it aside, this is such a great record--great songwriting, riffs and a production-style I just love. I heard this at a particular time (1993) and I've locked it in ever since.

It has a great sound: the drums kick with a tight bass drum, the bass locks into that, and the guitar playing rips with crunchy rhythms and stratospheric leads. The vocals wash over all of that and it *all* works. Listen for yourself. It's one of the best, heaviest pop records I've ever heard, and it gives me great pleasure to read all these reviews of a record I thought I only knew and loved.

I really don't know what they did before or after this--I've really never needed to hear anything else from them--I don't see how it could be surpassed.

One of the best Alt Rock Albums EVER!!!.......2006-11-04

The perfect mix of brash and polish, Superstar Car Wash is the ultimate listening experience for those of us still in love with the music of the 90's. Every song is solid and every song is toe tapper. Definitely one of the Goo's best albums, and surprising to anyone who isn't familiar with early Goo Goo Dolls sounds, for it is mature and thoughtful but not cheesy or contrived. The highlights on the album are "We Are the Normal"; "Stop the World"; "Another Second Time Around"; "Cuz You're Gone" and "Already There", but every song rocks!!!

Superstar Goo .......2006-08-03

The Goo Goo Doll's fourth album: SUPERSTAR CAR WASH, was when the band finally had come together as a band. The guitar, bass, drums, and other guest instruments were in time with one another and were not overpowering to a particular instrument. Sound levels were recorded perfectly and that in itself has a major impact of Goo Goo Doll's progression within their sound. Johnny Rzeznik had matured enough as a musician to realize that playing fast and all over the guitar neck does not always work with the songs the band performs. For this record, Rzeznik finally starts to produce melody lines. They are still pretty grudgy, but are clearer than in his previous performances. He also starts working even more with clean tone quality and his soon to be famous accoustic quality. Rzeznik's lyrics are some powerful stuff as with most of his work. This record also has the band working with string instruments, and the best track off the record has to be "We Are the Normal" because it has a beautiful single viola part to it. The only set back for this record is the bass player's songs. They are just not as good as Rzeznik's and it really starts to show on this record as it does on future Goo Goo Dolls' records. SUPERSTAR CAR WASH is a good rocker album and one to listen to if you are a Goo Goo Doll fan.

Stand out tracks include:
"Fallin' Down"
"'Cuz You're Gone"
"Domino"
"We Are the Normal"
"String of Lies"
"Stop the World"
"On the Lie"
"So Far Away"

The Goo Goo Dolls In Their Prime.......2006-07-05

I officially became a Goo fan when I was 12 and got their CD "Dizzy Up the Girl". I stil remember the moment, driving down 141 with my dad to get a frosty. Johnny's single "I'm Still Here" came on and I told my dad I loved the song. He looked surprised and excited. "That's the Goo Goo Dolls!" My dad was a GGD fanatic and was always talking about them. He started describing all of their other hit singles to me and it turns out I loved them all, I just never knew they were by the same band. That summer we saw them in concert twice.

The second CD I got was A Boy Named Goo, a gift from my dad. I listened to it once, maybe twice and decided I didn't like it. That was when I was 12, my favorite song was "Iris", and I couldn't stand Robby. I'm 16 now and believe that CD may be their best yet. They started off as a goofy punk band with songs like "Up Yours": very immature, bad lyrics, bad music. With each album they've released, they've become more and more mainstream. Their cover single "Give A Little Bit" may be the most mainstream song I've ever heard, period. As much as I dislike grunge punk stuff, I hate really mainstream stuff. This album and A Boy Named Goo are perfectly in between. They've still got the hard guitar, but they've matured and become more serious. Well, Johnny has. That's why I don't hate Robby anymore. In their most recent albums, he offers a hard-rock break from Johnny's mainstream cheesy ballads.

My two favorite Goo songs are "Flat Top" and "On the Lie". "On the Lie" can be found on this album and "Flat Top" on A Boy Named Goo. For any real fan of GGD who appreciates them better than I did when I was twelve, these two albums are must haves.

p.s. I meant to give them 5 stars but it won't let me change my rating now.

Amazon.com essential recording

There are many, many Andrew Lloyd Webber albums out there, including cut-and-paste compilations and songbooks from individual artists, most notably Sarah Brightman, Michael Crawford, and even Jose Carreras. The Premiere Collection is probably as authentic as you can get in a hits album, however. In addition to the most popular selections from the original casts of Evita, Cats, and Jesus Christ Superstar, the 57-minute album includes two selections from Tell Me on a Sunday (also recorded by Bernadette Peters as Song and Dance), the title tune from Starlight Express, the "Pie Jesu" from the Requiem, and a snippet from the Paganini Variations, thereby allowing you to hear the good stuff without having to spring for the complete albums. Note that the three selections from Phantom of the Opera are the 1986 pop singles instead of the cast recordings, meaning Steve Harley rather than Crawford sings with Brightman on the title tune and Cliff Richard subs for Steve Barton on "All I Ask of You." (Crawford does sing "The Music of the Night," of course.) This 1989 compilation was too early for Aspects of Love or Sunset Boulevard, and Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat is ignored, but these omissions are rectified in the follow-up album The Premiere Collection Encore, and the American-slanted version, The Very Best of Andrew Lloyd Webber: The Broadway Collection. --David Horiuchi

I enjoy all of this music, listening frequently. Some not original cast members, so less than 5 star. Product exactly as advertised.

My sister had this and it got destroyed. She wanted an other, This was the only place I have found it!! Very hard to find! I have been to every music store in my area. She loved it!! And was so happy to have it again. Anyone who loves Andrew Lloyd Webber will love this. As it has many songs from some of his most famous plays with the original cast. Great item.

beautiful.......2006-12-21

This CD is a great compilation of some of Andrew Lloyd Webber's hits. If you are just looking for a "quick fix" for your Broadway craving, this is a great value.

Fair Album with 1 starlight and 0 aspects.......2004-07-09

I think this album is F-A-I-R because it has one starlight express song and zero aspects of love songs. This is why i liked the album The reason i said that this is a fair album is that I like Starlight Express better. Song i like are "The Phantom of the Opera", "Take That Look off Your Face", All I Ask of You", "Don't Cry For Me Argentina", "Mr. Mistofflees," "Superstar," "Memory", "Starlight Express", "Tell Me On A Sunday", "Music of the Night", "Another Suitcase in Another Hall", and "I Don't Know How To Love Him". I dislike the following songs:" Track 6" and the last one because the last one was hard to understand and track 6 is instrumental.

Superb collection.......2003-08-11

... It is a collection of the best of ALW's creative efforts, and a collection of great performances. Anyone who loves "Broadway" should have this disk in their collection.

Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice's Jesus Christ Superstar is most familiar from its original concept recording or film soundtrack, so it's a long-overdue treat to have the 1971 original Broadway cast finally available on CD. It's a great listen, anchored by Ben Vereen's powerhouse performance as Judas, complemented by Jeff Fenholt as Christ and, from the original recording and the film, Yvonne Elliman and Barry Dennen as Mary Magdalene and Pilate, respectively. The major drawback, however, is that there's only 44 minutes of highlights, or roughly half the score, so this CD should be considered a complement to the other recordings rather than the definitive version. The selections are intelligent, however, and include the ballad "Could We Start Again Please?" (which was written after the original concept recording) and a puzzling "I Don't Know How to Love Him" in which Elliman either plays with or loses track of the rhythm. The booklet includes photos and notes on the show and the Broadway production. --David Horiuchi

Jesus Christ Superstar CD's.......2006-11-10

I ordered 2 of the CD's, one for myself and one for a very close friend. They both arrived in exactly condition and in an extremely timely manner. Although this is an older released musical piece, it brought back fond memories and allowed me to recapture moments from my past that were very uplifting.

Of all the versions, this one is the best. Sorry, purists........2006-06-01

I always thought the concept album had a garage-bandy sound to it, and a thin production sound typical of the era (like "Tommy"). The Broadway album is comparatively fuller (still 70's sounding) but makes much better use of the orchestra, and better mixed as well. The string swells sweep you away, the cymbal crashes give you chills. Jeff Fenholt couldn't front Deep Purple, but he makes an excellent Jesus, earnest and conflicted. Murray Head holds nothing to the passion and soul of the great Ben Vereen. Yvonne Elliman is slightly more mature in the role of Mary Magdalene on Broadway and clearly more comfortable, and Barry Dennen seethes and conflagrates as Pilate much more than on the concept album. Overall, more emotion comes through, which figures since they actually performed it in front of live audiences. In a way, the Broadway album is the definitive version because it is from the first performing cast of JCS, not a crew hired for a one-off.
It's a shame the full song list isn't included on the Broadway album, but the highlights really are the best parts, and the song "Could We Start Again", not on the concept album, is Webber & Rice at the top of their show-ballad game.

The Second Recording of the Rock Opera.......2006-03-31

All was not well in 1969 when two baby-boomers decided to write a rock opera based on the last days of Jesus of Nazareth. The analogy held a startling, brilliant poignancy at that time. Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber no doubt were seeing what had happened to the youth of the modern age. Having become disillusioned with the hypocrisy and emptiness of their parents’ establishment, the younger generation experienced a void in their psyche that formerly religion, fortune, and family had filled for their parents. These kids wanted something more substantial, more meaningful, and as a result they through themselves headfirst into the new age – distancing themselves as much as humanly possible from their parents’ in clothing, in speech, in attitude, and of course, in music.

Yet, no one could foresee the force with which that void would compel these kids to attach themselves with their musical idols. If these kids were turning away from organized religion for the answers, they found it in their rock stars. Rock stars became the Gods of their generation – spreading a gospel of subversion, peace, understanding, and individualism. These kids had found the answer they were looking for. Somehow, identifying with an Elvis, or a Hendrix, or a Lennon offered the sense of validation we were looking for. Much the same way in which the early Christians were looking for a sense of validation when they turned to their own superstar – the meager son of a carpenter, born in Bethlehem around the year 4 BCE.

Objectively speaking, this recording is just slightly below the quality of the Original 1970 Concept Recording. About half the music is present (and that which is here is either subjected to truncation or sped-up tempo-wise), but considering how soon after the release of the Concept Recording this was recorded, it probably made more financial sense.

Ben Vereen as Judas is in less flexible voice than Carl Anderson (who later understudied the role) had been when he appeared in the film. There is a slight edge to the sound which is at times soulful and captivating. His "Heaven on Their Minds" is filled with musically interesting moments where he takes the vocal line and creates swells and curlicues. Jeff Fenholt is in very good form as Jesus. He had a strikingly clean baritone voice with a very effective extension (which we get to hear in his excellent, though unfortunately rushed, "Gethsemane").

The unfortunate case with both the leads, however, is that they seem to miss a certain weight to their portrayals that Murray Head and Ian Gillan (on the Concept Recording) understood full out. Part of the issue was poor direction on the part of Tom O'Horgan (who just previously had brought "Hair" to Broadway), whose production concept was based on pure, unabashed spectacle at the expense of a deeper pathos. This can be seen in the production photographs, one of which appears on the cover. (It's Fenholt in an enormous fabric "caccoon" which, in the production, he would lift up to form even more enormous "wings.") Offshoots of this: "This Jesus Must Die" is reduced to pure camp and "Superstar" gets a boost of adrenaline. The former is unfortunate, the latter actually works quite well.

Elliman and Dennon sound more or less the same here than on their subsequent recordings. (Elliman's voice, though, seems to have mellowed nicely.) A pleasant surprise, however is Paul Ainsley as King Herod. His "King Herod's Song" is probably the most musically and vocally satisfying performance of that song I've heard to date. The orchestrations are pretty much kicked-up versions of those used for the Concept Recording, and add a dynamic level to the show.

This will never replace the Concept Recording (or perhaps the 1970 Film Soundtrack), and certainly should not be anyone's introduction to the work. It certainly would make an excellent companion to either of those two, however.

Not the Best.......2005-07-10

I love this musical, and any soundtrack from it is amazing. however, if you're having difficulty picking which version, i would suggest the movie soundtrack before this one. Judus is no where near as good, which was a dissapointment. however, the songs were still very good. What else can Andrew LLoyd Webber be?

THE BEST JCSS RECORDING.......2004-05-20

THIS CD IS THE BEST JCSS RECORDINGS...IT JUST DOSN'T HAVE THE WHOLE "THIS JESUS MUST DIE" SONG. IT DOSN'T PLAY THE WHOLE THING! THE COVER DOSN'T EVEN MAKE SENSE. [I'M STILL WANDERING WHAT IT IS] BEN VEREEN IS A GREAT JUDAS...PROBOBLY THE BEST ONE. BARY DENEN IS NOT GOOD IN THIS PRODUCTION. HE SOUNDED LIKE HE WAS GONNA THROW UP OR HAD A DRY TROUGHT. HE IS BETTER IN THE ORGINAL CONCEPT CD. THE MAJOR PROBLEM IN THIS CD IS IT WASN'T COMPLETE. REALLY, I HAVN'T SEEN A COMPLETE JCSS CD THAT I DON'T HAVE IN 5 MONTHS! THEY ONLY GIVE OUT THE HIGHLIGHTS CDS. WHO WOULD WANT TO LISTEN TO 13 OK SONGS IN A GREAT MUSICAL? NO ONE. THE PICTURES IN THE CD LOOKED CRAZY. I NEVER WANT TO SEE THE PICTURE OF THAT KING HEROD AGAIN. YOU SHOULD BUY THIS CD IF REALLY LIKE THE MUSICAL.

No way!.......2007-07-18

There are only two great tracks on this album, "Wasted" and "Panzermench". The rest of the album is a dudd. I am much more impressed by the records And One put out after this album..verry dissapointing synth pop album, but those two good tracks are really, really, really good.

AND ONE IS AMAZING!!!.......2006-11-08

And One's CD Virgin Superstar is one of the greatest synthpop bands in Germany. They sing in both English and German, creating a unique sound. The melody is poppy, with deep vocals that converge perfectly. I urge all of you to go out and buy this CD if you love techo.

Fabulous.......2005-08-05

Wonderful Synth pop band. They sing in English as easily as in German, wonderful lyrics, riveting music.

mediocre, at best.......2005-03-17

I bought this CD based on the 5 star reviews given to it and I'm disappointed. "Wasted" was the only song that somewhat caught my attention. I would just listen to your friend's copy.

Five stars...and one!.......2004-02-26

German synth-pop never sounded so good. Ultra catchy club friendly synth anthems with a unique sound that blends the modern, more aggressive sounds of EBM with shimmering pop songs that could have easily been classified as remastered 80's dance tracks. 'You don't love me anymore' could have easily been a chart topping hit by 80's groups like Duran Duran, Real Life, or Alphaville. 'My story' sounds divinely like a Pet Shop Boys song. But make no mistake, there is nothing 'dated' or 'cheesy' about these songs. You'll stomp your feet to the infectiously addictive 'Wasted' which is about the corruptions of plastic surgery. Or 'Wet Spot' a very modern sounding electronic song with a female vocal singing about finding sexual fulfillment..without anyone else's help. Or 'Goodbye Germany' which has a baseline reminiscent of VNV Nation. The bottom line...If you like dancable melodic synthpop that you'll feel almost forced to dance AND sing along to, this is perfect. You should be able to find it new from one of the amazon.com merchants for about half of the retail price of this import if it is too much for your budget. Take it from a die hard Depeche Mode fan with VERY picky taste when it comes to other synth bands. You will NOT be disappointed.

Brilliant..........2006-06-28

Catchy lyrics, tunes that you just can't shake off, this girl is a genius. I recommend Blood is Blood, Dear Frustrated Superstar and My Last Tango as these are my favourites...and go get her new album "Fires" even more of a masterpiece.

beauty and intellect personified.......2005-10-26

I may be loosening my aim at objectiveness here, but I simply cannot help but love everything about this artist and her beautifully obscure work of art. It all began when I glanced at the amusing title while searching through the Amazon. I was reading reviews for another album when I was offered a recommendation for this album. After reading the reviews, I decided to purchase the album without hearing a single song. It turned out to be one of the best albums I have ever purchased; one that I still listen to, nearly two years later. Nerina Pallot is a classically trained pianist and university-educated musician who has a flair for melody. Her voice is both delicate and soothing, yet never fails to convey emotion and nuance. The variety of subject matter is impressive. Nerina never takes herself too seriously and prefers to show you how smart, witty, and talented she is, rather than to tell you. Her lyrics are never forceful and are crafted in a manner that incites contemplation and, often times, amusement. This is a delightful album.

Nerina Pallot is fab!.......2005-05-17

I bought this album on advice from a family member and I have not loved any album more. Nerina has such a lovely voice. More amazing is that she writes, plays the piano and guitar in all songs and in all she is fab.
The irony of Dear Frustrated Super Star is not lost and I think that all of her lyrics are exceptionally clever and thoughtful.

Awesome!.......2003-12-18

I was first turned on to the idea of listening to Nerina Pallot from all the customer lists that named her as an exceptional and unknown artist. As I'm always on the lookout for new music, I finally bit the bullet and placed an order to the UK over ebay to snag myself a copy. It took over a month to arrive (helped along by a friendly UK postal strike), but wow was it worth the wait. Nerina has a beautifully haunting voice, and she writes some of the best pop songs that I've heard in years.

Every song on this disc is of exceptional quality, but several are worthy of extra praise. The two songs released as singles from the album are "Alien" and "Patience", and both are quite catchy and fun. The ballad "If I Know You" starts the disc off with a bang, the bouncey tune "Watch Out Billie" is the closest Nerina ever comes to a mainstream pop song, and "Someday Soon" is simply beautiful. "Very Good Sir" is ironic and strangely catchy, and my personal favorite, "Blood is Blood", combines excellent lyrics with great music, which is pretty much like the entire rest of the album.

If you've ever considered checking out Nerina's music, I STRONGLY reccomend you do so. It can be a royal pain to get ahold of this disc, but the best ways to do so are from amazon.co.uk or ebay, and you can check out clips of her songs on several fans websites ... just run it through a search engine, and if you can find it the video for "Patience" is very cool. An excellent recording from an artist that should be better known, Nerina Pallot is one of the few artists that has left me longing for her next work.

Why isn't it more popular?!.......2003-07-16

I clicked on Nerina Pallot's site by accident, and intruiged, downloaded some of her songs. I loved 'Patience' and 'Alien' and decided her whole album must be just as good. I was right. Having only gotten it 2 days ago, I've played it over and over again. The one stuck in my head right now is 'Watch Out Billie', which I *think* is about Billie Piper, who broke the record for youngest girl to get a No. 1 in the UK in 1998. It has a great hook. All the other songs are great as well. Some are darker then others, but they all have great melodies and lyrics. Another thing that impressed me is that Nerina wrote, or co-wrote [only a few] all the tracks. Her voice, guitar-playing and writing talents all add up to a very talented artist who deserves more exposure.

Album Description

Although best known as a cult comic book artist (Monkey Vs Robot, Sketchbook Diaries), James Kochalka Superstar is also a musician, having released many hard-to-find albums through limited distribution. His eccentric and singular work is translated to irresistibly catchy songs, ranging from the full-on power rock of "Talk To The Wookie" (an ode to cunnilingus) to sensitive ballads like "Twinkle Twinkle Ringo Star". Our Most Beloved compiles the cream of James' recorded output (and adds a few new recordings) in one deluxe package with a bonus DVD containing five music videos (including the legendary Monkey Vs Robot and two animated songs that appeared on Nickelodeon) and some surprises!

• Produced by Peter Katis (Interpol) • Bonus DVD with hilarious content • Monkey Vs Robot was a #1 Download at RollingStone.com • This compilation of his earlier work is the 1st Kochalka album to be widely available • booklet includes new, previously unpublished Kochalka comic

His Name is Mr. Rock `n Roll.......2007-01-14

Recently, when I was driving a group of us out for pizza, "Twinkle Twinkle Ringo Starr" kicked off on my stereo and one of my friends said, "What the hell are you listening to"?

Without missing a beat, I replied, "James Koh-chook-klas Superstar".

In an era of pretentious, derivative and over-produced rock, I'd given up hope of ever hearing anything fresh and interesting. And then, purely by accident, I discovered James Kochalka Superstar, which is definitely not pretentious, over-produced, or spoiled by some corporate rock marketing department.

Eschewing the current trend of self-important musicians trying to change the world, JKS gives us songs about taking a leak, dirty-minded astronauts, chugging beer, and going down on our girlfriends. How true to the spirit of indie rock is that?

Like another reviewer said, it almost sounds like JKS is making this stuff up as he goes along but, hey, some of it is really good and the rest is as fun as a barrel of hockey monkeys. It makes you want to go to a keg party, grab some corn on the cob, and listen to your heart because a kiss tastes good in the cold night air.

Good stuff. Pure, sincere songwriting. Highly recommended.

P.S. Thank God for the song "Ozzy & I", otherwise I'd have never been able to figure out how to pronounce "Kochalka". Mmm...word.

What's not to Love?.......2006-03-29

This guy's whole repertoire is insipid, sloppy three-chord garage-band tripe, with juvenile, offensive, smart-alecky jibberish for lyrics. It almost sounds as though he makes this stuff up as he goes along. In other words, it's everything that rock 'n' roll should be!

Duh Vinci Code.......2005-10-08

I have been sceptical of the popular notion that James Kochalka is the reincarnation of Leonardo da Vinci. It's true they are both artists who favor full frontal nudity and If da Vinci was around today he MIGHT want to live in Vermont, but what other proof is there? Then I listened to Kochalka's compilation album plus music video Our Most Beloved. I mean, I'm from the Woodstock generation and although I mourned John Lennon I never really felt the loss of Curt Cobain. But now, after listening to "Put Down the Gun" for the 20th time I find I have been infected by Kochalka's passion for post-punk rock and roll. Or at least Kochalka's version of it. Wait, you say, that's all well and good but da Vinci designed war machines. What does Kochalka have to match that? Hey, his work is chock full of robots and spaceships that Leonardo WISHES he had thought of. And the album's longest cut "Sleighride to Heck" is the best evocation of a cheerfully nihilistic armageddon since Tom Lehr's "We'll all Go Together When We Go". (Sorry, wrong era again). Anyway, Leonardo and Kochalka - maybe not such a crazy idea after all.

The best superstar no one else has ever heard of!.......2005-08-15

Not only is this a fine album to introduce the unenlightened to the music of James Kochalka, but even if you've already collected his entire discography and played them more times than is probably healthy- this collection will still sound fresh. All the songs included have been remastered, including an entirely new recording of 'P*ssy Gangster' and a breif, poignant introduction to the classic 'Hockey Monkey'. Most of these songs are way too catchy for your own good, chances are you'll learn all the words and have them stuck in your head for weeks.
A DVD is also included with several videos all worth checking out- 'Monkey vs. Robot' has been a hit at festivals and both 'Pizza Rocket' and 'Hockey Monkey' have appeared on Nickelodeon. Keep an eye out for James behind the goalie mask- his mere image was deemed unsuitable for children.

However, it's been about 4 years since any new material from the band was released. A new album 'Spread Your Evil Wings and Fly' was recorded ages ago and apparently Rycodisc is just sitting on it. Let's hope they come to their senses soon...

The Greatest Hits of the boy genius from Burlington VT! .......2005-06-12

Imagine being a kid again.. Remember singing along to the wheels on the bus go round and round? This album will make you want to sing along with the same gusto you did back at camp pokedypog. Not that you could mind you, this album is not for children. Well actually that's not true. Some of these songs are my kids favorites. "Monkey vs Robot", "hockey Monkey", and "Neigh Neigh and Woo Woo" are his top three. the hockey monkey video was even on Nickelodeon! That video is included on the dvd by the way. As is the vid for my fav kochalka song, "copenhagen china box" The best thing about this video is the way his wife gives a cute litte smile right before he starts singing. It's great and it's what Kochalka is all about, making his friends smile. And you will smile too. Oh and one last thing. The songs have been remastered and sound at least 500 times better than they did before. And there's a comic inside too! Oh, I almost forgot. Steven the mouse says "HI"

Superstar Hits is an excellent testament to Disney's skill at corralling major talent, even if it's heavy on the Phil Collins. Three of 17 tracks (all from Disney films) belong to the "Sussudio" crooner. Nevertheless, this is the rare collection that will compel the light-hearted and the leaky-hearted to come together, and the songs cut through genre and generational boundaries more convincingly than the label's other stabs at crowd pleasers. If Peabo Bryson's gargantuan vocals in leadoff track "Beauty and the Beast" seem overly melting, for instance, Sting shores them up minutes later with the touching, but not overly tender, "My Funny Friend & Me." Likewise, after Christina Aguilera exercises her diva's right to vamp it up on "Reflection," Lyle Lovett sweeps away the schmaltz with his regular-guy rendition of "You've Got a Friend in Me." Billy Crystal leaves a little something to be desired vocally with his "If I Didn't Have You," but look no further than Bonnie Raitt, who arrives two songs later, to rescue him with the gorgeousness of her ballad "Will the Sun Ever Shine Again." Whether you know the songs, or the films they come from, doesn't matter; enjoyment of this disc is a circle of life thing. Tina Turner puts it best on track nine: "The music lives in you." --Tammy La Gorce

The Marketing of the Mouse........2004-12-15

When THE LITTLE MERMAID was released in 1989, Disney executives knew they were on to something with the film's soundtrack. That soundtrack was a huge success for the company. However, Disney execs are always thinking of ways to make even more money, so when the next Ashman/Menken collaboration came along, the Mouse House decided they would get some famous celebrities to sing one of the film's main tracks, release it as a single, and make an even more [...]-load of money. Thus we had the Celine Dion and Peabo Bryson version of "Beauty and the Beast". And thus began the long and current tradition of including a pop version of a song sung by a singing superstar or superstars on every Disney major animated film since then. ALADDIN didn't need much support because Robin Williams was singing so many of the tunes, but POCAHONTAS had Vanessa Williams, HUNCHBACK OF NOTRE DAME had Bette Midler on "God Help the Outcasts", Steviw Wonder had a piece with 98 degrees in MULAN, Phil Collins sung most of the songs in TARZAN, and so on and so forth. Well, the Disney execs have gotten another bright idea and have brought many of those songs together into one album. Ergo, SUPERSTAR HITS.

The album has a lot of good music on it, but it also has it's share of pop music fluff. I bought the album solely because of the song "I'm Still Here" sung by John Rzeznik off of TREASURE PLANET. I really like that song, partly because it appeals to the manish, youthful optimism in my soul. However, I didn't want to buy the original TREASURE PLANET soundtrack just for that song. With SUPERSTAR HITS, I not only get "I'm Still Here" but some other great songs as well. Some of my other favorite songs off the album are:

"You'll Be in My Heart"

"True to Your Heart"

"Strangers Like Me"

"When She Loved Me"

"You've Got a Friend in Me"

"Look Through My Eyes"

"If I Didn't Have You"

"Will the Sun Ever Shine Again"

Disney is bound to collect together another album with tunes that weren't on this one. Actually, they'll probably make two or three. But this is the first and often times the first collection is the the best one.
