This album has some very good songs like Carousel and M+m’s. Cheshire Cat carries a very emotional theme throughout the album. While no new Blink-182 album is in sight, the artist has been road testing new songs during 1995 tour in Africa. Cheshire Cat is awesome.

M+m’s is a medium tempo tune. In this song fans will recognize the unique vocals of Blink-182. All of songs on Cheshire Cat and have something to say letting alone Touchdown Boy. Only one song from Cheshire Cat named Strings really got me. After few listenings I started to like Peggy Sue more and more. Sometimes defines beauty, yet is as unforgiving as an astringent stone. Does My Breath Smell as well as many of songs is a short story in miniature. Blink-182 rocks harder than ever with Cacophony. Tv is astounding. Toast and Bananas has to be one of the most beautiful tracks on the entire album. Wasting Time is outstanding work of Blink-182. This song could easily nestle itself onto the world top playlists. Ben Wah Balls as a highlight of Cheshire Cat contains a ton of perfect melodies. Although I prefer the faster paced music, I think Just About Done is my favorite song on Cheshire Cat. In Depends Blink-182 is at his best. Although Anthem Part Two is very melodic it is far from sad. First Date - a classic song. Blew our minds when we first heard Story Of A Lonely Guy. Stay Together For The Kids very upbeat. Reckless Abadon (3:08) - Oh, this is one of my favorites! After about the third Give Me One Good Reason listen through, I began to believe this song is Blink-182’s essence. I loved Please Take Me Home the first time I heard it. Such hits like No Name will leave you hooked.

There is so much to love about Delerium, starting with incredible harmonies, songwriting chops and stellar stage presence. Delerium’s debut, ‘Reflections I’, does not fit easily into one genre. This is the first studio album from Delerium since bad diagnosis in 1995. Cool, but I like their other actual stuff better like Reflections I.

Inside The Chamber - A strong beat. Morpheus is such a marvelous and optimistic song that things can get just better. Although I prefer the faster paced music, I think Faith is my favorite song on Reflections I. Twilight Ritual (6:36) a good melody. It took me a little time but I ended up loving Of The Tribe. Lost Passion is new, fresh, and hypnotizing. I like Tundra because it’s extremely catchy and has awesome drumming. Sphere motivates you to get up and do something to improve your life and the life of others. I think Embryo is the best song Delerium has ever done. Brainwaves is the first taste of the new album.

Lyrics of Mrs. Blaileen are precise and evocative. The song feels complete. Southbound Pachyderm is a great song for a cosy night in when it’s cold and wintry outside.

De Anza Jig is the albums biggest surprise. On The Tweek Again still maintains something of a specific flourish. Over The Electric Grapevine is possibly the best song Primus has come up. Album opener Captain Shiner is a bright, upbeat ditty.

As always, Everclear’s lyrics are worth listening to again and again. You Make Me Feel Like A Whore - This one is lively and fun. Santa Monica - I used to hate this song, but now it’s one of my favorites. What sets Summerland apart is Everclear’s innovative and organic way of creating atmospheres.

On the Andorra charts, superstar Sixpence None The Richer’s career stalled before it left the starting gate. Since Sixpence None The Richer last CD (This Beautiful Mess) on Beatnik Records back in 1995, I have felt a massive void in my life. After seeing Angeltread, I had to have a good Sixpence None The Richer CD. This Beautiful Mess touched my soul like nothing else.

Love, Salvation, The Fear Of Death is one of the more up-tempo songs on This Beautiful Mess. This track is full of harmonies and gets This Beautiful Mess off to a relaxing start. Within A Room Somewhere has a gorgeous instrumental sound, which lets Sixpence None The Richer’s strong vocals come to the fore. The sound in Melting Alone is really warm and Sixpence None The Richer’s signature voice is still very much present. Circle Of Error is nothing but pure genius. This song is very powerful, its catchy melody will have you singing along in no time. Still going through This Beautiful Mess and coming to appreciate Disconnect more and more with every listen.

You Can Do It is maybe the best thing the group’s ever done.

Beacon Street Collection carries a very emotional theme throughout the album. nine years ago, No Doubt briefly lived up to their terrific name, with an insanely addictive hit single called “By the Way”. Beacon Street Collection is the best album I have heard in a long time

By the Way is worth the money. Simple and heartfelt closing track Doghouse closes Beacon Street Collection on a high note. After you’ve listened to Greener Pastures, most everything else can’t hold up and is second rate. Don’t judge Open the Gate on the first listening. Opening track Snakes shows the best of No Doubt. This track is possibly the biggest guilty pleasure on Beacon Street Collection. Stricken as a highlight of Beacon Street Collection contains a ton of cool melodies. This song is dynamic and dramatic. This is probably my favorite song on the album.

From the moment you listen to Strangel you’re hooked. In Speed Of Night The Young Gods is at his best. This is one of those tracks that should not be judged after the first hearing. Voice of The Young Gods in Moon Revolutions is honest and guitar work is subtle and poignant. Kissing The Sun as a highlight of Only Heaven contains a ton of astounding melodies. The Dreamhouse is the album’s biggest hit, I think. Album opener Lointaine is a bright, upbeat ditty. Gardez Les Esprits is a catchy, up-tempo track that has influence of music streams without leaning too much in that direction. Music of Child In The Tree is gentle, never overbearing.

Siyuation) - This one has a powerful beat and a good melody. I hope to keep hearing Massive Attack works for a long time to come.

After debuting at No. 1 last week, Massive Attack’s album Protection falls to No. 2 with 522,000, a sales slide of 72%.

This song may be the most meaningful. It’s such an underrated song. This track is just fantastic from start to finish. Think Twice is one of the more up-tempo songs on Pokinatcha. Unopposed - To me, this is the best song on the Pokinatcha. Aspect is another strong production from MxPx. Ears To Hear is a perfect, simple song by MxPx at the top of his game. MxPx emotions are reflected through Bad Hair Day. To Much Thinking - A classic MxPx track. PxPx is a very good song maybe surprisingly better than you at first might’ve imagined.

This is the first studio album from Seven Mary Three since bad diagnosis in 1995. Such great and happy songs.

Cumbersome is Seven Mary Three’s best work in years. I like the agression and power of Roderigo. After about the third Devil Boy listen through, I began to believe this song is Seven Mary Three’s essence. My My still maintains something of a specific flourish. Lame - A strong beat. Headstrong one of the most beautiful songs i’ve ever heard. Anything is one of the coolest songs Seven Mary Three has ever recorded.

Delerium sings Lamentation in such a comforting, confident voice that you can’t help but be moved. I can’t stop humming along Euphoria. Remembrance - Okay, I just talked about depth. Wisdom marked the continuation of Delerium in style evolution. Delerium allows each song to breathe and flourish. This track is a fabulous selection of easy listening, suitable for any age, taste or occasion.

KMFDM had quite a long carriere and they made many hits. Juke-Joint Jezebel one of my best. After seeing Juke-Joint Jezebel (Poly-matrix), I had to have a good KMFDM CD. If I may, I suggest “Juke-Joint Jezebel (Poly-matrix)”. That one song is amazing!

You can find feelings on this piece of art. Kraut is the kind of record that makes you remember why music can be so addictive.

The Bends isn’t so much a record, as a great effort at dragging you into another world. On The Bends album, Radiohead have renewed their membership in the ‘if it ain’t broke…’ school of songwriting. The Bends really suprise for me from Radiohead. It is very exciting!

The Bends is the albums lead single as well as biggest hit. High and Dry on The Bends is solid and easy to listen to. Fake Plastic Trees is a bit of a show-tune. Bones is a good listen every once in a while. Nice Dream is a great opener for The Bends. Just which is my favorite is a truly Radiohead sounding song. As always, Radiohead’s lyrics are worth listening to again and again. Bullet Proof..I Wish I Was - another great track from the The Bends album. Black Star is a romantic if not formulaic ditty. This is the most melodic ambitious and satisfying track in The Bends. Street Spirit ‘Fade Out’ - Radiohead first major hit.

From the moment you listen to Eagle (Small Steppa Mix) you’re hooked.
