CHEAP TRICK-SEX AMERICA by Phibes69 Pros:
A 64 track compilation, of rarities and unreleased material, loyally representative of Cheap Trick's career. Cons: "Cold Turkey" is missing. Hello There hellip;Ladies and Gentlemen hellip;Are You Ready To Rock Cheap Trick is undeniably one of Rock N Roll rsquo;s most underrated and underappreciated bands.

Lisa Loeb Tells Listeners "The Way It Really Is" And Gets It (Mostly) Right! by wlswarts Pros: Good voice, Decent instrumentals, Nice lyrics, Decent balance between production and natural sounds
Cons: Sounds derivative on a number of tracks, SHORT! Lisa Loeb is one of those artists I am pretty surprised it has taken me so long to get around to listening to; I have enjoyed her few radio hits and now that I am taking in her recorded library, I am finding myself pleasantly surprised that her works ...

Fire Your Guns by MattA75 Pros: 2 outright classics, a few other good to very good songs
Cons: see review At this point, the only reason to get excited for a new AC DC< b> album isn't for the album itself, but for the tour that will follow it. So in honor of the band's new album Black Ice< b> (which is actually pretty good, but is not listed on Eps ...

When Wolf Parade Disappoint, It Stings. by knowncutter Pros: Wolf Parade get smarter and showcase more impressive songwriting chops.
Cons: Two songwriting geniuses... and they don't interact. More difficult record overall. There aren’t too many albums that I consider personal landmarks, but Wolf Parade’s debut, “Apologies to the Queen Mary,” is one of the most important albums I have ever listened to. I can even faintly remember the moment listening to “Dear Sons and ...

Standing Out On a Crowded Street: Dave Matthews Band's Complex, Dark Masterpiece by speeddemon531 Pros: Dave Matthews takes giant steps lyrically, and the band is complex as ever musically.
Cons: Those that think DMB is a good-time party band are in for a big surprise. I can understand why a lot of folks don't like the Dave Matthews Band. I don't even know if there's a tangible reason other than the contempt a lot of people have for the drunken college kids that seem to populate the band's concerts. Either way, I can ...

The Last Tour on Earth, by Marilyn Manson by cdm72 Pros:
Contains some of Manson's best songs. Cons: Overall I am very much underwhelmed. You gotta be careful when you rsquo;re buying live albums from even your most favorite bands. It rsquo;s really a crap shoot. Sometimes you may wind up with a live album that sounds live and like the audience is having a good time, cheering and singing ...

Grumble...Lisa Loeb, Why Do You Have To Be So Good With Your "Cake AND Pie?!" by wlswarts Pros: Lyrics, Vocals, Overall feel of album
Cons: Short, One or two lackluster tracks. I am seriously considering the value of reputation here on Epinions. After all, the Web Of Trust is all about reputation and I put little stock in my web of trust, mostly because I have so little time to perform the type of exhaustive search on the ...

Music to Get You Through the Cold Winter; There Will be Tears by knowncutter Pros: Raw, emotional folk with pop sensibilities.
Cons: You have to be in an introspective mood for most of the album. A couple of weeks ago, my roommates and I went on a "House" all-you-can-watch binge. Dr. House is a pretty damn captivating character, and the show itself is addicting enough that we watched all the way from episode one to the season finale from last ...

Jonesin' For Some Retro Psych Funk? Lenny's Back For A Love Revolution! by kcfoxy Pros: Vocals, instrumentation, cohesive package, concept & execution

You know what sucks even more Living in the shadows of a mentor who so happens to be acclaimed as a hip-hop legend and one of the greatest rappers ever. But do you know what sucks the ...

Then What Happened? - J-Live, Bloody but not Broken by madtheory Pros: Great lyricism, intelligent and thoughtful rhymes. Solid production.
Cons: A little too laid back musically, and missing a memorable storytelling piece. It rsquo;s not so strange that in a world where the dominating archetype of the rap star is that of a hyper-masculine thug that neither fists nor firearms can defeat, NYC emcee J-Live< b> would choose to show himself knocked out cold on the cover ...

A Worthy Tribute to One of the Best Guitar Players Ever by BlackBear Pros: Great spotlight on the guitar work of Randy Rhoads

Most listeners recall Rhoads from that time period as the phenomenal riff player for many of Ozzy's big solo hits. However, Rhoads was already ...
