There is no doubt that Nocturnal Rites has talent and Cd 1 - In A Time Of Blood And Fire is great.Cd 1 - In A Time Of Blood And Fire CD - one of the best in Rock. IF YOU LIKE ALL Nocturnal Rites’S SONG GO FOR IT! Overall, I would highly recommend Cd 1 - In A Time Of Blood And Fire CD.
Nocturnal Rites is hitting on all cylinders in Skyline Flame. Black Death which is my favorite is a truly Nocturnal Rites sounding song. In A Time Of Blood and Fire - To me, this is the best song on the Cd 1 - In A Time Of Blood And Fire. I like the agression and power of Downspell. Lay Of Ennui defines beauty, yet is as unforgiving as an astringent stone. Winds Of Death is a good listen every once in a while. Rest In Peace is perfect. No Nocturnal Rites song has come close to capturing my attention as Dragonisle did. Nocturnal Rites has created something that grabs you by the heart and gets you moving. In A Time Of Blood and Fire (2004 Version) - My least favorite song on this album. It took me a little time but I ended up loving Winds Of Death (2004 Version).

Now signed to Smokie’s Alucard Music, the title track from second album “The World And Elsewhere” leads Smokie’s back-to-school campaign. Smokie’s debut, ‘The World And Elsewhere’, does not fit easily into one genre. Great album The World And Elsewhere - just must listen it! One of Smokie’s best albums yet.
As always, Smokie’s lyrics are worth listening to again and again. Till Hell Freezes Over is quite refreshing and sets the tone for what is going on in The World And Elsewhere. So much energy, so exciting a sound.A great put together song. I Can Be A Heartbreaker To is an underrated song: I like its lyrics and melody a lot. Smokie offers the kind of music here that makes you reflect on yourself. Vocals of Smokie in Love Can Change Your Heart really capture me and are set perfectly to the rhythm. I was truly moved when I heard Till You Follow Me. Last Train make listening to Smokie like being in some sort of time warp. When The Lightning Strikes is another strong production from Smokie. Steppin’ On Seashells - Well, here we get a bit more meaning. Song Where Sorry’s Not Enough is actually a funny song. Smokie sings his heart out in Tell Me Why. Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow is possibly the most mysterious and inexplicable track Smokie ever produced. After about the third Who The F–K Is Alice listen through, I began to believe this song is Smokie’s essence.

When you buy a Marillion album, you know exactly what you’re getting! It’s natural for Marillion to take a stab at ‘Slainte Mhath’ considering her long-professed love for Universal Soul. nine years ago, Marillion briefly lived up to their terrific name, with an insanely addictive hit single called “Assassing”. Overall, I would highly recommend Live From Loreley CD.
Assassing is simply amazing. Script For A Jester’s Tear is absolutely incredible. Opening track Sugar Mice shows the best of Marillion. Hotel Hobbies - A classic Marillion track. Marillion rocks harder than ever with Warm Wet Circles. That Time Of The Night is probably the highlight of the album. Kayleigh pretty much defines how I feel spiritually. Marillion must have run out of lyrics on the next track Lavender. Heart Of Lothian is new, fresh, and hypnotizing. I can’t stop playing The Last Straw. Incommunicado - This happy song is an ode to optimism and an anthem.

This is one of greatest albums of Randy Crawford. You need to listen Naked and True. It’s really cool. On the Thailand charts, superstar Randy Crawford’s career stalled before it left the starting gate. To me Randy Crawford is the best ever.
Give Me The Night makes a person feel gorgeous. The Glow Of Love is a catchy, up-tempo track that has influence of music streams without leaning too much in that direction. This track is nearly perfect if not perfect. Forget Me Nots is really a nice song to relax and listen too. I’ll Be Around as well as many of songs is a short story in miniature. From the moment you listen to Joy Inside My Tears you’re hooked. Come Into My Life is probably the most interesting track on Naked and True. Strong percussion and poignant lyrics of this track really gets under your skin. Holding Back The Years is an incredible song that has everything it needs to be another favorite track. All The Kings Horses is Randy Crawford’s best work in years.

This compilation contains all of the biggest hits by Rory Gallagher. On the Turkey charts, superstar Rory Gallagher’s career stalled before it left the starting gate. After debuting at No. 1 last week, Rory Gallagher’s album A Blue Day For The Blues falls to No. 2 with 630,000, a sales slide of 55%. Oh yes, this album gets out of
Rory Gallagher sings his heart out in The Loop. In Calling Card the light shines equally on lyrics, vocals and instrumentation. As The Crow Flies good vocals. When listening to Off The Handle, it gives me such an energy rush it’s unbelievable. Bullfrog Blues is a great song to contemplate the modern music and what it really is all about. Back On My Stompin’ Ground is sonically very melodic with nice haunting verses. No Rory Gallagher song has come close to capturing my attention as Empire State Express did. Continental Op gives taste of what makes Rory Gallagher special as a musician. Shin Kicker is a very good song maybe surprisingly better than you at first might’ve imagined. Public Enemy No.1 is the first taste of the new album. Pistol Slapper Blues the elegant and beautiful song on the album is hard to describe. It’s very catchy and easy to get into which is what you want in a song. Nothing But The Devil is a sure sign of something most of us are experiencing, maturity. Alexis is a bit different from Rory Gallagher stereotypical stuff. Barley and Grape Rag is one of the coolest songs Rory Gallagher has ever recorded.

This is the first studio album from Jars Of Clay since bad diagnosis in 1995. Jars Of Clay is work hard for Jars of Clay. This album has some very good songs like Liquid and Sinking. Jars of Clay is preety good and all the songs have a good meaning behind them.
Sinking is really a nice song to relax and listen too. If you are a Jars Of Clay fan, you will love Love Song For A Savior. Like A Child - This one makes me want to not only sing along. Art In Me is perhaps one of the best tracks of the past decade. He is a great opener for Jars of Clay. Jars of Clay couldn’t start better than with the up up-beat title track Boy On A String. This song has very few things relative to that of it’s predecessor. Within the first few notes of Worlds Apart it’s perfectly clear that Jars Of Clay is living this song. Blind is maybe the best thing the group’s ever done. Hidden Track is the albums biggest surprise.

It has been six years Penicillin’ last studio CD, “Missing Link” which won Emmy’½ Awards and was nominated for album of the year. It’s natural for Penicillin to take a stab at ‘Chaos (Penicillin)’ considering her long-professed love for Color Me Badd. Missing Link CD - one of the best in Rock. Oh yes, this album gets out of
Brand New Lover (Penicillin - Missing Link 02) is almost impossible to review. VANITY (Penicillin - Missing Link 03) - Well, here we get a bit more meaning. Miss Cool (new mix) (Penicillin) can be hardly overrated by any means; this is what Penicillin is all about. Penicillin is hitting on all cylinders in mazohisuto (Penicillin). Nightmare Before Christmas (Penicillin) is the astounding blend of moody yet optimistic tunes. FIORE (Penicillin) defines beauty, yet is as unforgiving as an astringent stone. Opening track Melody (Penicillin) shows the best of Penicillin. rasen kaidan (new mix) (Penicillin) - I just love it. This song may be the most meaningful. Imitation Queen (Penicillin) - This one is lively and fun. Penicillin rocks harder than ever with In the Kingdom of the Moonlight (Penicillin).

‘Too Late… No Friends’ kicks the album off with a blast of pure pop energy. Since Gob last CD (Too Late… No Friends) on Corporate Punishment Records back in 1995, I have felt a massive void in my life. When you buy a Gob album, you know exactly what you’re getting! IF you love Gob, ‘Too Late… No Friends’ Mp3’s is the best!
Lobster Boy - This one is what it is: a powerful, primal invitation to love. Gob sings his heart out in You’re Too Cool. I’ve found myself listening to Bad Day back to back and back many times. I think Fuck Them is the best song Gob has ever done. The song Cleansing ending is my favorite… so catchy! One listen to the sheer beauty of Leave Me Alone was all I needed. Open Your Eyes make listening to Gob like being in some sort of time warp. Put Marlena into car stereo for your highway driving I Want You Back Baby - A strong beat. Marching Song is flawed, nonetheless pretty good song. It is succeeded by an outstanding track, however: Asshole TV, which shows, blatantly, how much Gob has evolved as a singer. Album opener Soda is a bright, upbeat ditty. Gob breathes new life into the music in Fido Dido. This song may be the most meaningful. This is one of those tracks that should not be judged after the first hearing. Centipede as a highlight of Too Late… No Friends contains a ton of amazing melodies. Censorshit (1:43) a good melody. Custer’s Last 1 Nite Stand is exquisite and different song. Lyrics of Hey Stephanie are precise and evocative.

There is so much to love about Godsend, starting with incredible harmonies, songwriting chops and stellar stage presence. There were many famous songs of Godsend available. In The Electric Mist really suprise for me from Godsend. In The Electric Mist is not something you should pass up.
Nobody Home is gorgeous work of Godsend. Music of Life Must Go On is gentle, never overbearing. Godsend has created something that grabs you by the heart and gets you moving. You have to get essence of the Clarion Call’s power, to truly understand this masterpiece. Voyage In Oblivion is perfect song though, very addictive. This track is just a stunning masterpiece. I loved Lost the first time I heard it. Under Silver Linings is the more seemingly obscure song on In The Electric Mist that bear up best to repeated listening. Godsend is hitting on all cylinders in Tranquillity. Get In The Electric Mist and turn on Thoughts and Shadows if you are going to sip your wine late at night.

It’s natural for Herbert Gronemeyer to take a stab at ‘Chaos’ considering her long-professed love for Echt. This album has some very good songs like Chaos and Keine Garantie. John Digester has compared writing for Herbert Gronemeyer’s new album to that on ‘Unplugged’ - but has declared the lyrics will be even more terrifying. Unplugged is the best album I have heard in a long time
One listen to the sheer beauty of Keine Garantie was all I needed. Music in Halt Mich is cool as in all tracks of Unplugged. This track is almost perfect, instrumentals and vocals combine awesomely. Some of the arrangements found on Unplugged are surprisingly edgy. Tanzen is a nice, innocuous song, and much better than anything Herbert Gronemeyer released so far. Land Unter is a song that definitely grows on you and becomes an album favorite. I like the agression and power of Morgenrot. Die Welle is the song that really did it for me. In this song fans will recognize the unique vocals of Herbert Gronemeyer. Alkohol is astounding and different song. Die Hrte to me is the best you can get from Herbert Gronemeyer. One of the songs that always stick in my mind is Unterweges because the melody in the chorus is so good. Mnner - Okay, I just talked about depth. Blo Geliebt hits the heart. There is marvelous mix of music in Luxus.

Lead single “God Bless The Bride” and “White Horse” start with near-whispers before kicking into giddily catchy, fuzz box-driven hollered hooks. Now signed to Kevin Coyne’s Century Media Records, the title track from second album “Case History…Plus” leads Kevin Coyne’s back-to-school campaign. Case History…Plus isn’t so much a record, as a great effort at dragging you into another world. Exciting stuff.
White Horse is a fine track on any terms. Excellent vocals and musical performances. Need Somebody is a marvelous song and it grows on you. Kevin Coyne sings Evil Island Home in such a comforting, confident voice that you can’t help but be moved. Araby is the most memorable and amazing. My Message To The People presents the cool mix of instruments on Case History…Plus. Music of Mad Boy is gentle, never overbearing. Sand All Yellow - Okay, I just talked about depth. Other tracks are good but your best bet is to stick with I’m All Aching. A Leopard Never Changes It’s Spots is probably the highlight of the album.

After debuting at No. 1 last week, Grace Slick’s album Born To Be Burned falls to No. 2 with 752,000, a sales slide of 77%. Dick Cham has compared writing for Grace Slick’s new album to that on ‘Born To Be Burned’ - but has declared the lyrics will be even more terrifying. Born To Be Burned really suprise for me from Grace Slick. Born To Be Burned album is in perfect progression from Grace Slick!
Strong, powerful vocals of Grace Slick in Someone To Love are very impressive. You Can T Cry is outstanding work of Grace Slick. That’s How It Is is new, fresh, and hypnotizing. Girl is astounding. Where - I just love it. This song may be the most meaningful. A unique and uplifting song. Father Bruce is a song that definitely grows on you and becomes an album favorite. Born To Be Burned is one of my favorite songs by Grace Slick. Grace Slick sings Double Tripamine Superautomatic Everlovin Man in such a comforting, confident voice that you can’t help but be moved. Song Love You Girl is actually a funny song. This track is a fabulous selection of easy listening, suitable for any age, taste or occasion.

This track is a killer, it just grabs you instantly.

It’s natural for Rock - Various Artists to take a stab at ‘A Whiter shade Of Pale (Anne Lennox)’ considering her long-professed love for Kitty GYM. This is the first studio album from Rock - Various Artists since bad diagnosis in 1995. Since Rock - Various Artists last CD (Rod Stewart - Best Balad) on Cedargate Records back in 1995, I have felt a massive void in my life. Rod Stewart - Best Balad is the best essence of Rock - Various Artists.
Diamond Ring. (Bon Jovi) gives taste of what makes Rock - Various Artists special as a musician. Have You Ever Realy Loved A Woman (Bryan Adams) good vocals. Think Twice (Celine Dion) - To me, this is the best song on the Rod Stewart - Best Balad. Musically Dream A Little Dream Of Me (Chicago Feat.Jade) is superior to other tracks in Rod Stewart - Best Balad. 74-75 (Connels) - My least favorite song on this album. Music of Perfect Day (Duran Duran) is gentle, never overbearing. J Sole Mio (Luchiano Pavarotti and Brayan Adams) is a song to enjoy for years to come. Take A Bow (Madonna) is the album’s biggest hit, I think. You’re Not Alone (Michael Jackson) motivates you to get up and do something to improve your life and the life of others. You’ve Realy Got A Hold On Me (Mike and The Mechanics) had me crying as I was able to relate so well. You’re The Star (Rod Stewart) stands out to me for its audacious melody and sheer beauty. Back For Good (Take That) - This one has a powerful beat and a good melody. The sound of Holdin’ On To You (TerenceTrent D’Arby) is difficult to describe, as it seems to squirm in a sensual manner, unlike anything ever created. Strong percussion and poignant lyrics of this track really gets under your skin.

This is the first studio album from Shelter since bad diagnosis in 1995. You need to listen Mantra. It’s really cool. Shelter’s debut, ‘Mantra’, does not fit easily into one genre. Mantra is awesome.
When listening to Letter To A Friend, it gives me such an energy rush it’s unbelievable. Surrender To Your T.V. is just simply stunning. I think Mantra is the best song Shelter has ever done. Chance - To me, this is the best song on the Mantra. First time I heard Not The Flesh was on radio driving in my car and sonically it just sounded amazing.Empathy has to be one of the most beautiful tracks on the entire album. Appreciation has a beautifully haunting disco flavor. Here We Go is a very catchy tune. Civilized Man is new, fresh, and hypnotizing. Shelter has created something that grabs you by the heart and gets you moving.

You need to listen The Winter Falls Over The Land. It’s really cool. thirteen years ago, Moonblood briefly lived up to their terrific name, with an insanely addictive hit single called “Nightly Mass”. The Winter Falls Over The Land one of my best. Smart music for smart people.
Nightly Mass is a catchy, up-tempo track that has influence of music streams without leaning too much in that direction. The Gates Of Eternity as a highlight of The Winter Falls Over The Land contains a ton of exquisite melodies. When listening to The Land Where The Sky Is Black, it gives me such an energy rush it’s unbelievable. In The Shadow Of The Inverted Krucifix is probably the most interesting track on The Winter Falls Over The Land. It is succeeded by an outstanding track, however: The Winter Falls Over The Land, which shows, blatantly, how much Moonblood has evolved as a singer. Outro I just LOVE this mix!

It’s natural for Children Of A Lesser God to take a stab at ‘Migrations’ considering her long-professed love for Fahrenheit (Taiwanese band). This -song debut EP shows the promise that Children Of A Lesser God has. Self-described as Rock with lots of words, Children Of A Lesser God comes out swinging on perhaps his best album to date. Migrations touched my soul like nothing else.
Opening track It Is You shows the best of Children Of A Lesser God. Once you hear Welcome (Back Home), you will listen to it over and over. This track is a great song that still never gets old. In Sideglance To Reality the light shines equally on lyrics, vocals and instrumentation. It’s also one of those rare songs that touchingly comfort the listener.

This is one of greatest albums of Ben Folds Five. IF YOU LIKE ALL Ben Folds Five’S SONG GO FOR IT! Since completing 1995’s ‘Missing The War (Live)’, Ben Folds Five fulfilled their contract with Anthem Records and where under no obligation to release another album. Ben Folds (Five) - Live is what good Rock should be.
Kate (Live) - A catchy, upbeat tune. Strong, powerful vocals of Ben Folds Five in Battle Of Who Could Care Less (Live) are very impressive. Still going through Ben Folds (Five) - Live and coming to appreciate Brick (Live) more and more with every listen. Emaline (Live) is the albums lead single as well as biggest hit. One Angry Dwarf And 200 Solemn Faces (Live) is a excellent, simple song by Ben Folds Five at the top of his game. In Philosophy (Live) Ben Folds Five is at his best. One listen to the sheer beauty of Selfless, Cold And Composed (Live) was all I needed. Steven’s Last Night In Town (Live) one of the best in my collection. When listening to The Last Polka (Live), it gives me such an energy rush it’s unbelievable. Theme From Dr. Pyser (Live) is almost impossible to review. Smoke (Live) sets the tone for the entire album. This song is dynamic and dramatic. It’s a great pleasure to listen to Underground (Live) from the beginning to the end. As always, Ben Folds Five’s lyrics are worth listening to again and again.

(Bon Jovi)”. Chicago Feat.Jade - Best Balad is my first Rock - Various Artists Album and i must say i am blown away.
Diamond Ring. (Bon Jovi) is the kind of record that makes you remember why music can be so addictive. In this song fans will recognize the unique vocals of Rock - Various Artists. Think Twice (Celine Dion) is a romantic if not formulaic ditty. Music in Dream A Little Dream Of Me (Chicago Feat.Jade) is gorgeous as in all tracks of Chicago Feat.Jade - Best Balad. I love the melodic melody of 74-75 (Connels) and to this day it makes me feel good. Perfect Day (Duran Duran) is the albums biggest surprise. J Sole Mio (Luchiano Pavarotti and Brayan Adams) is marvelous and different song. This track is a killer, it just grabs you instantly. This track makes my mind whirl and vibrate with flowing energy. You’ve Realy Got A Hold On Me (Mike and The Mechanics) is a striking and quite long song. You’re The Star (Rod Stewart) is absolutely incredible. Back For Good (Take That) is the album’s biggest hit, I think. Musically Holdin’ On To You (TerenceTrent D’Arby) is superior to other tracks in Chicago Feat.Jade - Best Balad. Julia Says (WET WET WET) - A strong beat.

Tigertailz was a flawless and timeless record. Not surprising from Tigertailz and Wazbones together. Now signed to Tigertailz’s BulletProof Music, the title track from second album “Wazbones” leads Tigertailz’s back-to-school campaign. Lead single “Tear Your Fucking Heart Out” and “Dirty Needles” start with near-whispers before kicking into giddily catchy, fuzz box-driven hollered hooks. Wazbones is one of Tigertailz best albums
Dirty Needles is the amazing blend of moody yet optimistic tunes. Belly Of The Beast is such a exquisite and optimistic song that things can get just better. It’s so catchy, it’s amazing. This is one hell of a track. Put Make Me Bleed into car stereo for your highway driving Tigertailz has created something that grabs you by the heart and gets you moving. Lyrics of Let Your Flesh Instruct Your Mind are precise and evocative. Love Can Kill without a doubt is the standout song of Wazbones. The Name of the Gun is the best music that I have heard from anyone in any area of music.

IF you love Vanden Plas, ‘Colour Temple’ Mp3’s is the best!
Push has to be one of the most beautiful tracks on the entire album. If you are a Vanden Plas fan, you will love When The Wind Blows. My Crying - arguably the best track on Colour Temple album. Soul Survives is worth the money. The song Anytime ending is my favorite… so catchy! Judas is gorgeous work of Vanden Plas. In Back To Me Vanden Plas is at his best. How Many Tears is perhaps one of the best tracks of the past decade. Days Of Thunder is beautiful, yet underrated track.

IF YOU LIKE ALL Marilyn Manson’S SONG GO FOR IT! This is the first studio album from Marilyn Manson since bad diagnosis in 1995. King Kill 33 really suprise for me from Marilyn Manson. King Kill 33 touched my soul like nothing else.
I like to sing along with king kill 33 (alpha & omega), though I mess up the lyrics sometimes. Marilyn Manson breathes new life into the music in king kill 33 (mass trauma). I find myself hearing bits of king kill 33 (divinatory) here and there throughout my waking hours. All of songs on King Kill 33 and have something to say letting alone king kill 33 (prima terra). I can’t stop humming along king kill 33 (demo version). president dead (hope) is a song that takes you on the journey before it reaches the conclusion.

On Def Leppard - Vault: Greatest Hits (Slipcase) album, Def Leppard have renewed their membership in the ‘if it ain’t broke…’ school of songwriting. This disc has all of the essential Def Leppard classics. On the Canada charts, superstar Def Leppard’s career stalled before it left the starting gate. Exciting stuff.
This track is just fantastic from start to finish. Def Leppard offers the kind of music here that makes you reflect on yourself. Foolin’ - A strong beat. Have You Ever Needed Someone So Bad is a very catchy tune. Song Hysteria is actually a funny song. I think Let’s Get Rocked is the best song Def Leppard has ever done. Love Bites actually sounds so joyous, that you can practically see a smile on Def Leppard’s face. Def Leppard - Vault: Greatest Hits (Slipcase) couldn’t start better than with the up up-beat title track Miss You in a Heartbeat [Acoustic Version]. Photograph to me is the best you can get from Def Leppard. Pour Some Sugar on Me is the albums biggest surprise. It’s a great pleasure to listen to Rock of Ages from the beginning to the end. Rocket is a great opener for Def Leppard - Vault: Greatest Hits (Slipcase). Def Leppard emotions are reflected through Two Steps Behind [Acoustic Version]. Some call When Love & Hate Collide [#] from Def Leppard - Vault: Greatest Hits (Slipcase) as a quiet invitation of an artist to sit and listen.

Stanley Donwood has compared writing for The Marshall Tucker Band’s new album to that on ‘The Capricorn Years’ - but has declared the lyrics will be even more terrifying. When you buy a The Marshall Tucker Band album, you know exactly what you’re getting! The Marshall Tucker Band was a flawless and timeless record. Not surprising from The Marshall Tucker Band and The Capricorn Years together. Enjoy the show.
Music of Virginia is gentle, never overbearing. The Marshall Tucker Band sings his heart out in Walkin’ and Talkin’. This track, in particular, has the kind of undeniably catchy flavor. Fire on the Mountain is a great opener for The Capricorn Years. 24 Hours at a Time [Live] can be hardly overrated by any means; this is what The Marshall Tucker Band is all about. Ramblin’ [Live] have really caught my ear and imagination. Try One More Time is pretty funky and mellow. Where a Country Boy Belongs - I like this one. This Ol’ Cowboy [45 Version] to me is the best you can get from The Marshall Tucker Band. In My Own Way as well as many of songs is a short story in miniature. This is the most melodic ambitious and satisfying track in The Capricorn Years. It’s a great pleasure to listen to Blue Ridge Mountain Sky from the beginning to the end. The Marshall Tucker Band emotions are reflected through New Life. Hillbilly Band has a fun tempo. See You Later, I’m Gone is absolutely incredible. This song may be the most meaningful. Take the Highway (6:13) - awsome. The Marshall Tucker Band allows each song to breathe and flourish. Desert Skies is quite refreshing and sets the tone for what is going on in The Capricorn Years. It’s also one of those rare songs that touchingly comfort the listener. Fly Like an Eagle is astounding. Musically You Say You Love Me is superior to other tracks in The Capricorn Years. This song is dynamic and dramatic. Long Hard Ride [45 Version] is the kind of record that makes you remember why music can be so addictive. This track is nearly perfect if not perfect. The beautiful sound of this track makes you want to close your eyes and sway away with the music.

It’s a brave and brilliant refocusing of Otyg energies, virtually a rebirth. I guess you need to listen Bergtagen as soon as possible. After seeing Trollmenens Vdg, I had to have a good Otyg CD. Bergtagen is awesome.
I was truly moved when I heard Stentorsrtsster. Galdernatten is simply astounding. Skuggan Pe Esen one of the most beautiful songs i’ve ever heard. Bergtagen is a sure sign of something most of us are experiencing, maturity. In Septemberseng the music gets its power. I like the idea behind Vid Skogstjdrnan Ster. Get Bergtagen and turn on Bdckafdrden if you are going to sip your wine late at night. Otygets Tid is, without a doubt, my favorite song, ever.

It’s natural for The Beatles to take a stab at ‘She Loves You’ considering her long-professed love for After 7. After debuting at No. 1 last week, The Beatles’s album Anthology, Vol. 1 (CD 2) falls to No. 2 with 675,000, a sales slide of 63%. I am not a real Rock music type of person, but i have to admit ‘Anthology, Vol. 1 (CD 2)’ really is amazing. If you love The Beatles as much as I do, then The Beatles Anthology, Vol. 1 (CD 2) is the CD for you!
Till There Was You - a classic song. Twist and Shout is the best music that I have heard from anyone in any area of music. After about the third This Boy listen through, I began to believe this song is The Beatles’s essence. This track is just fantastic from start to finish. Such hits like Speech: Eric Morecambe and Ernie Wise will leave you hooked. Moonlight Bay is an underrated song: I like its lyrics and melody a lot. Strong percussion and poignant lyrics of this track really gets under your skin. All My Loving is a bit different from The Beatles stereotypical stuff. Musically You Can’t Do That is superior to other tracks in Anthology, Vol. 1 (CD 2). This song could easily nestle itself onto the world top playlists. Put A Hard Day’s Night into car stereo for your highway driving I Wanna Be Your Man is a bit of a show-tune. I like the idea behind Long Tall Sally. Blew our minds when we first heard Boys. Music in Shout is astounding as in all tracks of Anthology, Vol. 1 (CD 2). This track, in particular, has the kind of undeniably catchy flavor. Voice and instruments in I’ll Be Back (Complete) complement each other. You Know What To Do (1:59) a good melody. No Reply (Demo) is nothing short of a modern masterpiece. Mr. Moonlight - To me, this is the best song on the Anthology, Vol. 1 (CD 2). Although I prefer the faster paced music, I think Leave My Kitten Alone is my favorite song on Anthology, Vol. 1 (CD 2). No Reply is a striking and quite long song. Eight Days A Week (False Starts) is probably the most interesting track on Anthology, Vol. 1 (CD 2). Eight Days A Week is filled with very deep emotions that will truly touch your heart. Kansas City / Hey-Hey-Hey-Hey! as a highlight of Anthology, Vol. 1 (CD 2) contains a ton of marvelous melodies.

Nowhere is this more so than on their re-working of Canned Heat on ‘Intro’. Canned Heat was a flawless and timeless record. Not surprising from Canned Heat and Live at King Bisquits together. This album has some very good songs like Intro and On The Road Again. You need to listen Live at King Bisquits right now
On The Road Again gives good insight into the truths. Bullfrog Blues is beautiful, yet underrated track. I’ve found myself listening to Chicken Shack back to back and back many times. Stand Up (From What You Are) - Canned Heat first major hit. After you’ve listened to Goin’Up The Country, most everything else can’t hold up and is second rate. Don’t Know Where The Went (She Spilt) have really caught my ear and imagination. Human Condition had me crying as I was able to relate so well. Shake’n Boogie is, without a doubt, my favorite song, ever.

This album has some very good songs like Savlovy Tanec and Ach Synku Synku. Slagry carries a very emotional theme throughout the album. I am not a real Rock music type of person, but i have to admit ‘Slagry’ really is amazing. Savlovy Tanec and Ach Synku Synku is really good.
Ach Synku Synku stands out to me for its audacious melody and sheer beauty. Pujdem Spolu Do Betlema is one of the best records ever. Indianska Pisen Hruzy is one of the best records ever. Carl Czerny Op 849 catches attention immediately, Rock’n'Roll Music as well as many of songs is a short story in miniature. Vzpominam Na Zlate Casy is the albums biggest surprise. This song has very few things relative to that of it’s predecessor. Hlava Modernistova makes a person feel marvelous.

Kill the Sexplayer carries a very emotional theme throughout the album. While no new Girls Against Boys album is in sight, the artist has been road testing new songs during 1995 tour in Australia. I think this is best Rock album. I Love Kill the Sexplayer from start to finish!
Learned It (Live) is a song that will not reduce you to tears but leave you thinking long after Kill the Sexplayer have ended. Sexy Sam (Live - This one is lively and fun. As always, Girls Against Boys’s lyrics are worth listening to again and again.

It has been thirteen years Alvin Lee and Ten Years After’ last studio CD, “Pure Blues” which won ARIA Music Awards and was nominated for album of the year. You need to listen Pure Blues. It’s really cool. Alvin Lee and Ten Years After is work hard for Pure Blues. Pure Blues is awesome.
This song is like perfectly aged vintage bordeaux wine not a tequila shot. This song may be the most meaningful. Vocals of Alvin Lee and Ten Years After in Real Life Blues really capture me and are set perfectly to the rhythm. The Stomp is beautiful, yet underrated track. Alvin Lee and Ten Years After offers the kind of music here that makes you reflect on yourself. Wake Up Moma still maintains something of a specific flourish. Talk Don’t Bother Me is the funkiest number on the album. Every Blues You’ve Ever Heard is sonically very melodic with nice haunting verses. I Get All Shook Up gives taste of what makes Alvin Lee and Ten Years After special as a musician. Lost In Love is a pleasing, and full of overall coherence that goes beyond other creations. This track is a fabulous selection of easy listening, suitable for any age, taste or occasion. Outside My Window is a bit of a show-tune.

This is the first studio album from The Chieftains since bad diagnosis in 1995. There is so much to love about The Chieftains, starting with incredible harmonies, songwriting chops and stellar stage presence. The Chieftains is work hard for Long Black Veil. Long Black Veil is what good Rock should be.
The Long Black Veil is a astounding, simple song by The Chieftains at the top of his game. After about the third Have I Told You Lately That I Love You? listen through, I began to believe this song is The Chieftains’s essence. This is one hell of a track. Such hits like The Lily Of The West will leave you hooked. Coast Of Malabar defines beauty, yet is as unforgiving as an astringent stone. In Dunmore Lassies The Chieftains spins a tale you want to hear to the end. Love Is Teasin’ one of the most beautiful songs i’ve ever heard. A fantastic track full of wonder. Although I prefer the faster paced music, I think Ferny Hill is my favorite song on Long Black Veil. Tennessee Waltz / Tennessee Mazurka is the amazing blend of moody yet optimistic tunes. Outside of the singles, my favorite song on Long Black Veil is The Rocky Road To Dublin.

Leather Strip’s debut, ‘Legacy of Hate and Lust’, does not fit easily into one genre. ‘Legacy of Hate and Lust’ kicks the album off with a blast of pure pop energy. This -song debut EP shows the promise that Leather Strip has. Exciting stuff.
This track, in particular, has the kind of undeniably catchy flavor. The Darkness End’s The Day one is one of the better boring ones. Vocals of Leather Strip in I Wanna Hate You really capture me and are set perfectly to the rhythm. We’re Losing Time is the album’s biggest hit, I think. I think Whisper Your Poetry is the best song Leather Strip has ever done. Some of the arrangements found on Legacy of Hate and Lust are surprisingly edgy. I Won’t Look Back - I just love it. Musically I Try-I Die is superior to other tracks in Legacy of Hate and Lust. No Rest For The Wicked is the more seemingly obscure song on Legacy of Hate and Lust that bear up best to repeated listening. This is probably my favorite song on the album.

Atrocity’s debut, ‘Calling The Rain (feat. Yasmin)’, does not fit easily into one genre. On the Ireland charts, superstar Atrocity’s career stalled before it left the starting gate. Calling The Rain (feat. Yasmin) isn’t so much a record, as a great effort at dragging you into another world. Such great and happy songs.
In Bach From Eternity full palet of sound is used by Atrocity to accentuate the presentation. Departure is beautiful, yet underrated track. It’s a great pleasure to listen to Land Beyond The Forest from the beginning to the end. Migrants’ Shade motivates you to get up and do something to improve your life and the life of others. Die Geburt Eines Baumes is astounding. Calling The Rain (Remix) - To me, this is the best song on the Calling The Rain (feat. Yasmin). After you’ve listened to Ancient Sadness, most everything else can’t hold up and is second rate.

Adam Ant is work hard for Wonderful. After debuting at No. 1 last week, Adam Ant’s album Wonderful falls to No. 2 with 354,000, a sales slide of 72%. Wonderful carries a very emotional theme throughout the album. Such great and happy songs.
Album opener Beautiful Dream is a bright, upbeat ditty. Wonderful on Wonderful is solid and easy to listen to. 1969 Again is one of those songs that will put you in a good mood. Charming song, great melody. Adam Ant is hitting on all cylinders in Image Of Yourself. Although Alien is very melodic it is far from sad. So much energy, so exciting a sound.Vampires as well as many of songs is a short story in miniature. I like Angel because it’s extremely catchy and has awesome drumming. Very Long Ride is an upbeat song with a constant snare hit.
