Very Informative and Enjoyable.......2006-11-20
Frank's view.......2006-08-19
Excellent Intro for Those Not Familiar with the Orchestra.......2003-11-08
The narrator and writer is a great speaker and holds your attention well. He is definitely knowledgeable. He provides musical examples for each point he makes, so you get to "hear" what he just talked about. I'd say the CDs are about 65% music and 35% narration. You'll learn about the range of instruments, some history, different ways to play them, how they sound, and how they are used in the orchestra. This CD set was a great learning experience and is sold at such a low price!
I recommend this CD for those who want to learn about classical music and those who know about it but are interested in learning more about the inner workings of an orchestra. You'll learn much useful information. For instance, the Rite of Spring (with that eerie start) is written for bassoon! I never knew a bassoon could sound like that but now I do.
The one complaint I have is the last CD. This deals with the orchestra. I wanted more of a tour of how the orchestra has been used through history up to the present. Instead, it was a tour of how different groups of instruments sound. I thought it could have been better. The other 6 CDs are excellent.

Talented Rock Band.......2005-10-20
A return to form? Well, kind of....................2004-08-13
In a nutshell, the answer is yes and no. They have made a jolly good effort, and credit is due here, but it is a bit of a hit and miss album.
First the good news. There are a few gems on this album. `Crash' and `Door to door' are classic Firehouse all out rockers. `Door to door' features Michael Foster on vocals and he does a very good job. This track also features some outstanding guitar soloing from Bill which you will not be able to help play air guitar to! The standout track on the album is `Perfect Lie'. With it's heavy intro, great lyrics, emotion and catchy melodic chorus, this song ranks as one of Firehouse's best songs ever. `Body language' and `Take me away' are above average.
Now for the bad news. There are too many average tracks. The first and title track is the band trying to sound funky and modern (similar to a few tracks on `O2') which just does not suit the band. The chorus just does not have any `kick' to it for it to even hope of comparing to the openers of previous albums like `Rock on the radio', `Reach for the sky', or `Can't stop the pain'. The 2 tracks with Bill on vocals (`Holding on' and `I'm the one') are rather dull and disappointing, which is a shame as his song on 'O2' was pretty good. The singing should definitely be left to CJ next time. The one ballad at the end `Let go' shows much promise with it's emotional intro, but the chorus sounds a bit like a nursery rhyme which is a real shame.
So overall, this is a decent effort and better than 'O2', but could have been so much better. They have captured the sound of their heyday, but only on a few tracks. If you are an established Firehouse fan like me, I'd say this is a must have album as the 3 or 4 great tracks really are fantastic. If you are a newcomer, the first 2 albums are a better bet.

Customer Reviews:
this is not your father's Ornette Coleman.......2006-05-25
This album took several listens to before I could wrap my brain around it. I won't repeat what previous reviewers have written. It's certainly very dense, challenging music which sometimes fools you into thinking it's just funky world beat, but then turns around and messes with your head. The lines the various instruments play are melodic and consonant, but the way they interact is somewhat disorienting at times, before falling back together. He manages to incorporate a huge variety of musical styles and influences and stir up something that could not possibly be anything other than Ornette! Overall this is fascinating music.
It's become one of my favorite Ornette Coleman albums (and yes, of course I love the 60's stuff!). Give this one several listens.
I don't get it. .......2005-09-01

The new forms of harmelodics........2000-04-26
If you've never heard any harmelodic or free Jazz before, this *might* not be the one to start with. I'd suggest Science Fiction first, and moving on from there at your own discretion.

Today's masses are told what to listen to by music channels and radio, they're all in the marketing game to make money, not music. Marketing, where bands are put together to bow to words like brand image and target markets. Like leaves that fall from a tree and die every season, these products, fade away with no measurable dent in the minds of people who know what good music really is. The roots of the tree are what stand the test of time and are what outlasts those leaves. Joe Stark is among these roots.
Music evolves every few of years but always come back to its roots. Rock and blues are two of the purest forms of music. Joe Stark's self-titled CD album hits this ideology home with a Louisville slugger. From track to track Joe Stark builds a house with a super solid foundation of real music. Highlights include "Testify", reminisce of solid and ripping guitar of Southern Rock, and radio-ready hits such as "Oh So Sad" and "As if". There are many well-written tight and punchy songs, most importantly; IT'S MUSIC YOU CAN RELATE TO.
This CD is for any one who appreciates real music. Whether you are a musician or one of these people from the brain-washed masses (you know who you are). You will come away from this listen with a better appreciation of a talented musician. Years down the line when your other junk food music has rotted with time, this one will preserve. Joe Stark is on tour this summer opening 40 dates with Bad Company, Styx and Billy Squier.

Customer Reviews:
underappreciated music gets recognition.......2000-04-16
The difficulty in enjoying an album like this is that songs from musicals are often very contextual--if you haven't seen the show it's hard to relate. Because this is a collection of unrelated cuts and not an entire show, some of the songs seem orphaned. The best tracks are those songs with more or less universal themes--songs not dependent on a storyline to give them depth. A couple examples of this type are "Listen To Your Heart," "One Day At A Time" and "Who Needs To Dream."
The performances are hit and miss--a few lack any conviction ("Man Wanted" is a sassy tune but this rendition is flat). Other songs are simply beautiful ("It Doesn't Matter Anymore," "You're So Right For Me").
Hurray for producer Bruce Kimmel for collecting and gathering these little gems.
