Great CD, You gotta get this one!.......2007-07-07

I love this CD, its full of catchy little songs you can sing a long too. There are a couple of serious songs, but for the most part its upbeat and fun. When I first bought this I listened to it every day for a month. It is so awesome. I saw them in concert and they were pretty good also. It was a fun concert. If you like fall out boy, panic at the disco and other bands like that, you will probably like this song. The last two songs are the best, although some of the others are just really great too.

DEAR GOD! I LOVE CUTE IS WHAT WE AIM FOR!.......2007-05-08

buy this cd!

seriously, just do it. it's super fun pop/punk deliciousness. cute is what we aim for is going to blow up very soon, and don't you want to brag about how you knew about them BEFORE they went platinum? oh yes, you do. the vocals and lyrics are amazingly original. random even.

cute is what we aim for can also be seen on warped tour this year, so you should check them out there too.

Cute Is What They Are.......2007-04-12

According to All Music and their critics, Cute Is What We Aim For and their cheekiness is not much to their liking. But what's really strange to me is there was only a measely second of hesitation on my part to like this CD; by the time the ending of the first track "Newport Living" came along, this band had a brand new fan. "You wanted to sell out/ but you couldn't even do that right/ so your price tag has been slashed/ and now you're on a half price clearance rack," umm hello, what a crack up. I love the fact they make fun of everything including themselves, where some critics find that they are perhaps trying to too hard to be clever, I disagree and think they're just funny enough to be clever - "The Fourth Drink Instinct" the story of a girl who gets drunk and screws someone and turns around and is surprised when he leaves her in the morning is great. It's a power rock ballad and perhaps it's toned down in terms of lyrics I can surely relate to it (I know friends like that) (What made you think that he couldn't find the door in the morning/ when he found that bed so easily in the dark?) ; "There's A Class For This" includes lines "drama doesn't follow me/ it rides on my back/ I may be ugly/ but they sure love to stare..." and in "Risque" they give us "Medically speaking you're adorable/and from what I hear/ you're quite affordable..." I love it. Musically, the band is more poppy than Boy Kill Boy and less tragic guitars a la The Smiths, but they aren't quite as experimental and fun as say Wheatus, in fact they sound a lot like a lot of those bands I don't like that out now a days - the dime a door dozen type with the chugging guitars and the high pitced wincy voice, but this time around it has won me over, the music moves in jaunts and rhythmic motions and the vocals are actually giving me a thrill with the witty lyrics - so critics be damned I'm telling you The Same Old Blood Rush With A New Touch is clever and lovable and umm cute.

I listen to it over and over...and over and over and over.......2007-03-26

This cd is really great-one of my favorites to listen to! The songs are catchy and it's fun to sing all the lyrics, unlike other bands. Don't really understand how you can not like this cd, honestly.

Must Own...Without a doubt.......2007-03-18

This album is very impressive in all the important ways. The singer and lyricist Shaant has a charismatic vocal presence. The lyrics are honest and not cliche. The music is catchy but at the same time mellow and not shallow (mellow without being boring, I generally don't like mellow music). There are fast songs and slow songs but all are good. This album is worth listening to all the way through, unlike most albums. The first time I listened to it I was doing things on the net and so gave it no attention, it was so good that it impressed it's worth on me through the minimal subconscious attention it was given. When I listened to it without distraction I found it good but like all great albums, it took a while to grow on me, and grow it did. It is now one of the best albums I have bought in a long time. Pick it up, esp. if you like the emo scene, you won't regret it.

Customer Reviews:

Not for fans of the music in the movie ... .......2007-07-21

Sure, maybe some of the songs in this collection were tacked on in edited forms into the closing credits, but the majority of the music in the film is not here. Great tracks by Rachid Taha (off his Made in Medina album) figure prominently through out and aren't here. Jasmine Tabatabai not only contributes a memorable song to the film, but can be seen performing it live in an early club scene. Also not on the cd.

If you like the darker, richer, exotic music of the film, pick up albums by Taha and Tabatabai.

If you like mediocre compilations of absolutely horrifying covers of once great songs (I actually got physically ill hearing the versions of Venus in Furs and Killing Moon) then maybe pick this up.

The one or two decent tracks (ok, one) like Collide's just aren't worth the buy in.

The art of soundtracking and film scoring has reached an all time low here.

This album is way better than the film..........2007-02-03

Since the first review focused on what they didn't know about the bands, I'll point out some of the acts:

Tre Lux is Tina Root of Switchblade Symphony, one of the biggest Dark Wave bands of the 90's.

Shiny Toy Guns are huge right now, just played Leno a month ago.

Collide are one of the bigger bands of the goth/electro scene.

Bow Wow Wow...even the other reviewer knew who they are.

Sparklemotion had a hit on itunes from the Napoleon Dynamite Sountrack.

New Skin are a new English band produced by one of the guys who produced Depeche Mode and the Cure.

but whatever - the point is the album is really good - there's only one song I wasn't crazy about and for a soundtrack, that's saying a lot.

I can't say the same for the film...but oh well.

Yet Another 80's Mostly Lame New Wave Cover Song Collection by Mostly Unknowns.......2007-01-28

I get the impression that cover song collections are quite the rage in Hollywood Movie circles when dealing with 'troubled' movie productions. It's cheap in that all the artists cannot command any upfront cash for their appearance. It smacks of indy-cred to get these artists, mostly electro-goth types, together. Too bad most of the cover versions are only mildly interesting. I also suspect that the soundtrack CD will be of more interest in a years time than the movie will...Why the producers of the film decided to so radically transform the book into a forced-copy of 'Underworld' escapes me, I guess filming for so cheap in Eastern Europe was the main reason. Too bad, I really enjoyed the book. Buy the book instead of buying this CD or watching the movie.

Except for Bow Wow Wow (glad to see they are struggling along still, but this IS DEFINITELY NOT their best work), almost all of these bands are probably unknown to 99.99% of the listening public. I have heard of Collide before this, kinda synthy darkwave band, very enjoyable, please go buy their other work ;) Almost of these songs lack the excitement and punch of the originals, why bother then making effort? I guess if I must, the first three songs are pleasant enough to listen to and I kind of like the Collide number as well...The rest can be safely deleted if you decide to convert these tracks to MP3s and just keep the aforementioned four tracks.

Customer Reviews:

Awesome Set!.......2007-07-01

I am a huge fan of Jerry Goldsmith. They did a great job preserving his vision. I can listen to this collection for hours. Great music!

Elmer Bernstein Film Music Collection.......2006-11-03

This is compilation of hit film music from one of the greatest composers in motion pictures. What is surprising though is the music not included like the Ghost And The Darkness, the 13th Warrior, Rudy and others. To be sure, 4 discs are not enough for a composure of this stature. THe recording, however, is an "engineering masterpiece" which makes the music even more enjoyable than when you first heard it at the movies. When are we ging to get the music that was omittd from this compilaton?

Overall a strong Goldsmith sampler.......2006-04-11

Okay, this is a CD review, so the focus is on music, but I've got to say this first: this has got to be a contender for the ugliest cover art ever. I mean, come on...instead of a tribute to the composer, the cover looks like someone spilled a glass of merlot over a NASA photo.

Fortunately, even an ugly cover will not ruin good music. And the good news is that I'd say about 75 percent of the music is good....and on a 4 cd set, that's a lot. Like other Silva compilations, the strength of this compilation is the variety. There are selections from the big releases (Star Trek, Omen, Rambo), but there is also a healthy dose of tracks from the smaller releases(Under Fire, Lionheart, The Swarm).

Two examples come to mind. Capricorn One and The Great Train Robbery are two movies that are not exactly household names today, but are dominated by two of Goldmith's finest main themes. The City of Prague Philharmonic come through with terrific renditions. And there are plenty of other strong performances...a few being concert versions conducted by Goldsmith himself. Suprisingly, "The Wind and the Lion" works, which is no small accomplishment given the ferentic original performance of "Raisuli Attacks".

It's not a complete success. A few of the performances fall flat, particularly some of the more inventive scores. Total Recall is just bad, mangling the performance with poor percussion and synthesizer choices to boot. Also a letdown is the Klingon Attack from the first Star Trek movie. The Prague Philhamonic attempt doesn't sound bad--it's just that once you've heard the original soundtrack's "blaster beam" with enough bass to rattle your teeth...well let's just say Silva's version is a little tinny in comparison.

But I shouldn't dwell on the negative. Overall, this is a strong sampler of Goldsmith's variety. There are plenty of quality performances here, and despite a few omissions (noticeably Planet of the Apes)this is a very good release from Silva.

Jerry Goldsmith - 40 years of pleasure.......2006-02-22

It was wonderful to hear Mr. Goldsmith's music that went all the way back to The Man from UNCLE, The Waltons, Dr Kildare, etc. And then to hear his music up to the present. The man was a genius!

Almost the perfect compilation.......2005-12-31

Age has its value.... This sweeping collection of compositions brings back so many great memories. This collection shows how significant Goldsmith was for both the movie screen and the small screen. With such a grand collection, every reader can be assured that at least one movie or TV program they like or remember had Goldsmith's contribution. It was an amazing life and the collection well worth having.

However, as sweepig as it is, there are a few holes in the selection. "First Contact", one of the sweetest and richest compositions from the Star Trek is absent. "The Ghost and the Darkness" is missing and the "Medicine Man" music should include the theme song. By dwelling on several selections from the Blue Max, these were squeezed out. Three full and important movie themes got the axe.

However, all but "The Ghost and the Darkness" are readily available and not overly expensive as is the "Ghost" CD. This is a must have for the TV and movie music fan.

Before there was Hans Solo there was Napolean Solo, before ER there was Dr. Kildare. Jerry Goldsmith IS Sci-Fi. "Resistance is futile.. you MUST assimilate this CD collection."

Mill. Classical review.......2007-05-13

This is a great set of recordings for the money, the only problem was I've had to clean some of the CD's before they played correctly.

classical music for the unitiated.......2007-04-01

This set is a good way to start listening to classical music. It's very well produced and easy to listen to. I purchased it to use as part of my world history high school class. It would have been nice to have some bio information on the composers. However, the product is exactly as advertised and good value for the money. The students were intrigued by how many of the excerpts they had heard before.

Some little gems there that I had forgotten!.......2007-03-30

Although I studied classical music at school, I had all but forgotten it until I bought this set. I heard several tracks I haven't heard for over 30 years, and I had been humming Brahms's 'Hungarian Dance no. 5' for years without ever knowing what it was and it was on the disc, so that was nice.

I found it to be a very good selection overall, but I felt too much had already been heard on TV, which of course is what lots of newcomers to classical music might appreciate. I managed to find about 2 hours of tracks that I wanted to keep, which works out quite expensive per disc, but I did find some wonderful music I had completely forgotten about, so it was worth it. All in all, it represents good value, and I have only knocked one star off as so much of it had been used in adverts.

It is definitely a good introduction to classical music, and it has made me want to listen to more of it, so I don't regret this 'expensive' purchase one bit!

Classical Masterpieces of the Millennium [20 CD Set]

A very helpful collection.......2007-03-24

I define this set as an excellent way to find out who you like, and who you don't, among 20 of the important composers. It opens the door to purchasing more complete pieces by composers you do like, and can save a lot of time and money in the process.
To criticize the set for not containing more composers, or more than just snippets of those who are in the set, is missing the point: it is a helpful introduction to finding your way in the huge maze of classical music. It succeeds admirably in this.
Sound quality is uniformly very good on an audiophile system.
Highly recommended.

Excellent!.......2007-03-08

A great way to start a classical music collection. It's nice to have a full CD of each composer. It makes it easy to keep track of selections/composers I already have and what composers I still need to puchase to complete my collection.

"A pissed-off, 32-year-old divorcé's version of This Year's Model" is what Elvis Costello once called this 1986 noise-pop masterpiece. Following the foray into acoustic roots music that informed the heartbroken King of America, Costello immediately redubbed himself Napoleon Dynamite for songwriting and DIY-cover-painting credits, teamed again with the Attractions and producer Nick Lowe, and headed for the figurative garage. Spattered with bad love and strange dreams, nervy Beatles "tributes" (the deranged "I Want You" held the same end-of-side-1 place on the original LP as John Lennon's namesake ode to Yoko did on Abbey Road), and blurt after blurt of bent tunefulness, Blood & Chocolate was for all that an exceedingly artful, criminally ignored album. "Someday they'll probably make a movie out of all of this," Costello sings on the penultimate "Poor Napoleon." "There won't even have to be a murder, just a slow, dissolving kiss." Rhino's remastered edition adds a disc of bonus tracks, including the fabulous Sir Douglas Quintet homage "Baby's Got a Brand New Hairdo" and five solo acoustic performances of soul and country nuggets that bring the set full circle to King's stylistic core. --Rickey Wright

Customer Reviews:

I love Elvis Costello..........2007-01-12

...And because I love Elvis Costello, I love this album. It's super sweet. Good cleaning-the-house-music. Also good for game nights with friends and wine. Upbeat and sort of goofy... and who can resist Elvis' lyrical mastery? No one, that's who.

Great CD.......2006-03-04

I don't know THAT much about Elvis Costello, but I recently bought his whole catalog on CD except for just a few recent releases. My favorites are Aim Is True, Almost Blue, which I've had since their initial LP release, and King of America, which is new to me and is SO great. Blood And Chocolate is real nice to listen to. There's certainly nothing wrong with it, like there is something kind of wrong with "Spike". The essays by Elvis Costello on the Rhino discs are great.

One Of His Best Made Better.......2005-09-08

Once again Rhino shows us that for every Elvis Costello album that is released, there's 1 1/2 albums of great matterial that we miss out on. With the rerelease of this album, we are treated to even more great songs.

Fans of Costello will love this album. Newbies trying to get into his work, however, would be better off starting with Armed Forces or This Years Model.

Great, but..........2005-08-30

You read all the reviews and stuff and you watch the Live In Memphis DVD, hear "Blue Chair" live, buy Cruel Smile and hear "Uncomplicated" live, and you like the raw energy and power and all of those performances and so you figure that's what this album sounds like. I thought this would be like the perfect Elvis album, even after getting King Of America, and so I bought it. Turns out it wasn't as I expected. This really isn't too hard rocking at all. I'm no metal head or anything, I draw the hard rock line at AC/DC, any distortion after that is just noise, like Metallica. AC/DC is just good hard rock, and I didn't expect this album to be Highway To Hell, but I figured it'd reflect the live versions of the two songs and the bitterness of the Goodbye Cruel World bonus disc version of "I Hope You're Happy Now". But this is really nothing like that. "Uncomplicated" doesn't feature the bite of either of the live versions I've heard: as said, Cruel Smile, and when I saw him on the 29th of July this year. "Blue Chair" is melodic, almost acoustic pop music. "I Hope You're Happy Now" isn't as sarcastic or angry as I imagined it and think would sound better that way. "Tokyo Storm Warning" probably comes closest to the sound I imagined, but it still doesn't seem as rowdy as I was hoping. I've no problem with the slower songs really, I was just wanting the ones I'd heard rock live to rock here. Track by track:

"Uncomplicated" - I didn't like this version at all the first time I heard it after the live versions, but listening to the album several times in one night it started to grow on me. I still miss the excellent guitar solo that trails off into the rest of the sounds until it's hard to tell what's going on. Also, it's not sung quite as good this way.

"I Hope You're Happy Now" - As said, not so angry as I wanted it, Elvis said the couple years going by put some humor in it, but I didn't think it would work as a funny song. It's like pop music here! I have yet to hear a live version, but I have high hopes.

"Tokyo Storm Warning" - This one's a gem. You'd think a song with one chord until the short last line of the chorus where it finally changes would get repetitive. Repetitive, technically yes, but boring or tiresome, not in the slightest. Excellent song with excellent lyrics and imagery. Everyone likes to use the word 'travelogue' whenever possible, so I guess I should too. The best travelogue since "I'm Mandy, Fly Me".

"Home Is Anywhere You Hang your Head" - This song speaks to me in ways few have - almost literally, but that's another story. As I said, I don't mind the slower songs on this album not being power ballads, because that would just suck. I like this song a lot.

"I Want You" - So many fans rave about this being so great. You ain't heard nothing if you ain't heard it live. I've got the I Never Talked To Jim Reeves CD, and that version absolutely murders this one. It just doesn't have the exceptional acoustic intro which is the most redeeming thing about this version.

"Honey Are You Straight Or Are You Blind" - This is actually practically the same song as "Mystery Dance" if you look at it musically, which is a good thing. The only problem I have with is maybe the keyboards on the intro should have been played a bit lower. It doesn't sound so pleasing to me, but that's just me. Otherwise, it's a good rock n' roll song like they used to make 'em. Live version is kind of interchangeable; no marked improvement.

"Blue Chair" - Pop music! It doesn't really sound bad, but the version on Live In Memphis is SO much better, I can hardly believe.

"Battered Old Bird" - Excellent song, sung very well. It feels like something is missing when I think about it, but when I'm listening to it I've got no complaints.

"Crimes Of Paris" - In many ways the "Jack Of All Parades" of this album. I love this song for so many reasons. It's catchy and melodic, it's got good lyrics, Cait O'Riordan's voice sounds heavenly in the last line of the chorus, but I really prefer the version on the bonus disc. It keeps closer in line with my feelings of what the album should be, despite the only real difference being he plays it on a barely distorted electric guitar and it doesn't have the vocal overdubs. I really only miss Cait's voice on it. Otherwise it is excellent. Oh, and I don't understand what all the "Oh Oh Oh Oh"s are for in the middle section.

"Poor Napolean" - Somebody said this is the only song that slows down the album. Not true. It's a good song, probably Steve Nieve's only noteworthy appearance with the cool organ, but that's not his fault (Elvis wanted this to be a guitar record and asked him to basically play rhythm, which he said was hard for Steve to do. An excellent player like him show some self restraint, especially when he'd always been allowed to go mad scientist on all the old albums? Poor Steve!). It sounds suitably murky from the recording setting. The thing that gets me is this almost makes it seem like there's some kind of story in the album, but there really isn't, but I want there to be. Maybe they should make a movie of all this.

"Next Time Round" - Another song that's catchy and kind of rocky, but the song never promised to rock my socks off like "Uncomplicated" so I'm not mad. A very suitable end for the album.

Highlights of the bonus disc:
On the bonus disc it really carries the feeling of the color red of the album cover. Does anyone know what I mean? It just feels red. The solo songs he plays at the end feel very combustable, despite their only difference from any other time Elvis plays solo being that he plays it on a pretty clean sounding electric guitar. "Leave My Kitten Alone" isn't actually very much different from the Kojak Variety version, but for some reason it is so much better, giving The Beatles' version a run for its money. It's that red feeling I think and the grittiness that comes with it. "New Rhythm Method" and "Forgive Her Anything" are excellent and all three of these songs would have fit in on the album perfectly. I'm not sure why "Baby's Got A Brand New Hairdo" is here and not on King Of America's bonus disc other than for time extension. Don't argue with me that it's because The Attractions play on it, because it was recorded during the King Of America sessions with The Attractions. The single version of "Blue Chair" is just incomprehensible to me, what with those weird and unnecessary overdubs. I wish the original version without them was either included here or on the King Of America disc. I'm not sure why they did "Uncomplicated" as they did, but whatever. You get to hear what "Battered Old Bird" would sound like if it were fast which is... interesting. I don't know, some people apparently really like it a lot that way, but don't be surprised if you like the original better. This twilight version of "American Without Tears" expands upon the lyrics of one of Elvis's best songs, though it doesn't really sound much like the original. I'm just happy for a continuation of a great song and I'll just imagine the second version being done the way the original was. This solo version of "Running Out Of Fools" is actually better than the one on Kojak Variety, in my opinion, though I'm not sure if the version of "Pouring Water On A Drowning Man" found on that album can be surpassed. All in all, this whole set is great, thus the five stars, great songs and some good, worthwhile bonus material, it's just not what I was expecting from reviews, interviews, and alternate performances, and I just thought I'd say it.

A GREAT RE-WORK BY RHINO, BUT..........2005-01-23

I will defer to all the laudatory comments listed here.

I had one comment, however, regarding this new version by Rhino vs. the previous, also-excellent version by Rykodisc.

The final track on the Ryko CD was "A Town Called Big Nothing (Really Big Nothing)", a wonderful, 5-minute+ little gem that Costello originally wrote for a Alex Cox film that featured some amazing Spanish guitar playing by Costello, accompanied by his father on trumpet.

However, it is NOT included on the new Rhino CD. This is a curious and unfortunate omission, so all of you Costello fans out there who are rushing out to replace your Ryko discs, FYI!

Perhaps Rhino will include it on one of the future Costello releases.

Stunning album that was seriously underrated. .......2007-05-24

A cracking album that shot straight to No 1 in the UK and bursts with Michael's anger and vitriol. His voice is just amazing. Check out Ghosts/Is it Scary, This Time Around and the remixed Scream and see what I mean. Powerful stuff that's also incredibly energising. While I was formerly not a big fan of dance music the reworked tracks are treated in such a brilliant way that I am coverted.Pulsating. Recommended.

Cream always flows to the top !.......2006-08-12

The greatest individual star of all times, if not at last of the last 3 decades, and a other and an other 3 to come, he is just as big as the Beatles if not bigger as he has to do it on his own.
I, along with the court of justice do believe Micheal does not have a bad bone in his body, the fact that he needs kids around him is perfectly natural, because kids are sincere, this is wat he Michael and eveyone else needs to stay in touch with reality.

Thanks Michael for all the happy memories your music has brought us and hopefully will for a long time to come.

Who's Bad ?
Not Michael !

Michael Jackson's Dance on The Blooded Floor: 2 stars.......2006-07-18

As Michael Jackson ventured on the second leg of the HIStory World Tour in 1997, the EP Blood On The Dancefloor was released perhaps in order to capitalize on Jackson's success in Europe. His HIStory album had experienced enormous success in Europe, yet America did not embrace the album as warmly as Europe had. Jackson's popularity in Europe was cemented as the first single Blood On The Dancefloor reached no. 1 on the English single chart, while the album enjoyed success in both England and the rest of Europe.

Blood On The Dancefloor is mainly to be regarded as an EP or a remix album, consisting of 5 ordinary songs and 8 remixes. The title track and the first single Blood On The Dancefloor is a funky up-tempo song with a fusion of keyboard and teasing synthesizers. Despite being released as the opening single, the song was hardly among Jackson's finest material. In fact, Blood On The Dancefloor even sounded dated in 1997 and it has certainly not aged very well. I always found that the song bore a resemblance to the Dangerous album in terms of sound. Perhaps the material on the Blood on the Dancefloor album was written for that particular album or during the same time period. However, the gruelling theme continues as the song Morphine reveals a character completely obsessed with the drug. The soft and hunting verses are a contrast to the sturdier choruses, yet surprisingly it works quite well. Superfly Sister is Michael Jackson's attempt to simulate Prince; however the repetitive, dull baseline is an unwelcome addition. Similar to the lead single, Superfly Sister suffers from the syndrome of ¨dated-ness¨. Ghosts and Is It Scary are enjoyable songs; however they are not among Jackson's greatest works. Notably, Is It Scary is a lovely track especially due to the shift between the soft verses and the tougher choruses. I considered it the best song among the 5 ordinary songs on the album. The remaining 8 songs/remixes are a Tour De Force of dance remixes. Generally, I do not like remixes, however the remix of 2 Bad, Scream-Louder and HIStory are not half-bad. Yet the remixes of the remaining songs leave a lot to be desired.

Blood On The Dancefloor is primarily an indulgence for hardcore Michael Jackson fans. The few ordinary songs are pleasant, however they are not on par with Michael Jackson's back-catalogue. If you like remixes in generally, I am positive the remixes on the album would surely appeal to you. If you have recently discovered Michael Jackson's music, I would advise you to purchase Number Ones or The Essential Michael Jackson in order to fully grasp the back-catalogue of Jackson.

RED BLOODED MONSTER--JACKO.......2006-07-16

I LIKE JACKSON SINCE THE DAYS OF THRILLER.AT THAT TIME I WAS A KID AND USED TO JUMP OFF MY FEET WHENEVER I GOT CHANCE TO LISTEN TO HIM.

THIS ALBUM DO NOT HAVE QUANTITY BUT THE THING IS THAT THIS HAS QUALITY ONLY ONE SINGLE--BOTDF IS SUFFICIENT TO MAKE THIS ALBUM WORTH A WHILE
GO GET THIS ALBUM AND BE PROUD TO HAVE SUCH COMPILATIONS

great!! .......2005-12-12

Blood on the dance floor is mainly a remix album of Michael Jackson's HIStory songs.
Well, the thing is that I don't like remixes but there is one that's definitely good. That's the remix of track 'HIStory'.
Now on to the new stuff. MJ really did well by choosing 5 new tracks because it convinced me that his every song is different and innovative.
BOTDF, as fans often call it, has the
title track on it: this is an echo-filled, strong, blood-red composition of dance with a bit of techno, soul and rock. This is unique if you believe me.
I enjoyed it through a whole summer when I watched
the video for it every day!
MJ proves that he is a good and.. an even better dancer. A real surprise. Even a friend of mine who is far from being an MJ-fan, told me that he finds MJ a better dancer than he'd done before.

SUPERFLY SISTER is a rap-like but still strangely soulful track with a catchy beat and a great 'east coast' feeling I like very much. It's got a message, listen up!

GHOSTS is a great r&b song that is solid, consistent and you can easily get hooked on the melody. The video is awesome, too. I bet!

IS IT SCARY: brother of the previous one. Jackson's best vocal achievement since 1995's 'Smile' and before 2001's 'Unbreakable'. An r&b-based song that grows to a pop hymn - without a hymnical feature.

MORPHINE: This is I think MJ's most unique song ever, quite the 'Musicology' for him. This is fully composed & ordered by him, he even plays the instruments.
The song mixes an acid and steely beat with innovative vocal elements of metal and even a Jackson-style rap. So a closed composition emerges.
I hated Morphine first. But now I see it as a kind of masterpiece.

OK. Don't buy it. It's mess.
But I bet you still do. Enjoy!

Album Description

Their latest record follows a brief two-year hiatus and is their most diverse album in the past ten years. Angry and other times haunting vocals are forged to incessant beats, permeating melodies, and relentless bass lines. Fans of The Cure will love "Crushed", while experienced VAC listeners will appreciate the intensity of "Wound" and "Lust", at the same time finding a slightly different vocal style in "Parasite". "Lust For Blood" proves that VAC hasn't even begun to tap into the innovations they're capable of, even with a decade of musical experience under their belt.

This is the essential masterpiece we have longed for!.......2007-03-01

'Lust For Blood' is the album that cements Bryan's master attention to details and textures to his range of influences. This album is remarkably cunning and a powerful listening experience. Each track is a sonic experience that moves through many levels. Each album Bryan creates is an edification in sound. They mystify and dig into your guts in wicked ways! 'Lust' is an expanse of beautiful noise and fortified angst. Velvet Acid Christ will curdle your blood and exploit your dance moves in ways you might have thought not possible.

I have one grand wish to make! Would love to hear and see these songs played live Bryan! One day...we can all hope!

Yay for new VAC material.......2006-11-26

I am relatively new to Velvet Acid Christ's music so I can't pretend to be an expert on their music. I recently acquired the new VAC album "Lust for Blood". I was not disappointed to say the very least. "Lust for Blood" has all the elements in electro/industrial music that I like. Normally I do not enjoy distorted vocals but in this case, I liked the distorted vocals. The only negative thing about the distorted vocals that I couldn't understand what Bryan Erickson was singing about without looking at the cd booklet. I especially loved the instrumental tracks which were quite beautiful, a far contrast from the harsh distorted beats of the other songs. I wasn't too impressed with VAC's previous studio effort "Hex Angel". It wasn't bad but it wasn't all that great either. The music didn't really capture the essence of Velvet Acid Christ like their previous albums and now "Lust for Blood". The lyrics may be cheesy but at least Bryan Erickson doesn't take himself too seriously with his music like a lot of industrial bands do.

disconnected nightmare.......2006-10-29

not the greatest album by VAC, but not the worst, either. the real stand-out tracks are, in my opinion, 'wound', 'blood' and especially 'lust'. the entire album is enjoyable, kind of a more-enjoyable "hex angel". the best version of 'wound', however, is on the 'wound' cd single....bryan should really sing on more tracks, the songs sound more interesting when he does. 'blood' has a metal feel to it, and 'lust' sounds like something The Cure might've written. i would recommend buying the album; it's got some good tracks on it. it's not as danceable as "fun with knives" or ttg, but it's better than "hex angel".

Disappointing.......2006-10-19

Most of the music on this album is very good, however, the vocals and lyrics leave a lot to be desired. The vocals are distorted because let's face it, Bryan can't sing or write good lyrics. Another low point is movie samples. There is nothing more pleasant than hearing low quality samples with background noise, and static in your music. The worst song is "Lust" - same guitar riff for 3 minutes, and very uninspired lyrics. The instrumental tracks are excellent though.

Like a wound that won't stop bleeding..........2006-10-02

VAC has really impressed me with this one... I was fearing it may be worse than 2003's "Hex Angel" (good album but weak for VAC standards if you ask me). I'm happy to report that this album really delivers. You will find Bryan trying all kinds of genres here (rock, synth pop, trance, EBM, industrial) and there are some real stand outs here. My personal favorites would be the 3 instrumentals: Ghost in the Circuit, Psychoactive Landscape and Ghost Regen. VAC has become something really special in the electronic music world.

Product Description

The haunting and versatile soprano voice of Michelle Belanger creates a wicked alchemy with the brooding and atmospheric orchestrations that have made Nox Arcana renowned in the realm of Gothic music. Timeless lyrics weave through rich layers of melody, telling stories of lost love and forbidden passion, drawing upon the ancient myth of Watcher Angels who abandoned Heaven for a taste of mortal love.

Haunting Gothic themes occasionally overdone.......2007-07-03

Michelle Belanger has a good voice, but Charolette Church she is not. She's not the next great soprano, but certainly she can make some very fine melodies. In several of the songs she overlays her vocal tracts to make harmonies that are very lovely and haunting (particularly Bitter Ashes and Angels are Weeping).

None of the songs are BAD, but in some I was honestly reminded of almost comically overblown poser Goth poetry. These kinds of songs shouldn't honestly make me want to laugh at their sheer pretentiousness, should they? The poetry angle that seems to be most of the inspiration for the songs makes for fairly simplistic melodies. There's nothing wrong with that, and I thoroughly enjoyed at least half the songs on this CD, but some of them rate more in the tedious category than haunting or inspiring.

My advice, buy this on the cheap if you need some inspiration for your next Vampire: The Masquerade game, or your next delving into the world of Goth.

Interesting theme, Horrid vocals.......2007-06-18

I bought this expecting music to write by...strong musical themes with little or no vocals. What I got was a woman wailing off key and drowning out what could have been a great CD.

The lyrics enclosed were interesting,and may have made pretty good musical listening if someone else with talent and/or training had been singing.

Not Bad.......2007-05-17

I thought this would add a new dimension to Nox Arcana, it does, but not a big enough one. Out of the nine songs, five are great, four are good, but none are AWESOME. A good buy but not a Must Have.

Rebirth.......2007-01-16

When I hear this music, my soul and my esprit resuscitate. Michelle Belanger have a very good voice. Nox Arcana that I know long-past complete this fabulous album.

Astounding!.......2006-10-18

One look at the front and back cover of the Blood of Angels CD gives the would be listener an insight as to the hauntingly beautiful sounds that wait within. Even the disk itself, created by Monoliths Graphics, is a work of art.

The lovely voice of author Michelle Belanger is given full reign here, from powerful chants to amazing octave ranges, surpassing Nightwish and Evanescence's superb work. If you like love Nox Arcana and ambient music, Michelle's debut will leave you breathless. Fans of Phantom of the Opera will fall in love songs such as Bitter Ashes, one of my favorites. The title track however is a piece de resistance, with its layered vocals and emotional chorus.

Highly recommended- Corvis Nocturnum

I was getting all stressed out for an MRI scan, as I'm a bit claustrophobic. However, we put Sandy's cd on during the scan, and I was so relaxed I almost fell asleep! Thank you Sandy, for getting me through a difficult situation!

Sandy's voice if very soothing and calming. I can highly recommend this cd for anyone who needs to relax during a stressful situation, or just wind down at the end of a stressful day. If you're having difficulty sleeping at night--this will do the trick!
