Kill Hannah Wake Up the Sleepers mp3

I have had faith in kill hannah since I first saw the video Lips Like Morphine. I normally don't buy full cd's because I usually only enjoy one or two songs at most. I decided to take a chance on Until There's Nothing Left of Us and was blown away. Played the record over and over. Weeks later I saw them in concert and realized they bring the energy whether it's live or on the record.

After I found out about there being previous material, I had to find it. For Never And Ever was just as good as UTNLS. I had really big expectations for the record and boy did they deliver. I was not disappointed. From start to finish this CD is without a doubt the best Record Kill Hannah has ever put out and I swear is going to change the way we view life as we know it. So what are you waiting for??? Wake UP and BUY!!! You won't regret it

Will Hoge The Wreckage mp3

Will Hoge returns with his upcoming release The Wreckage after being sidelined by a life-altering traffic accident. Like many of his musical heroes, Hoge has emerged stronger, refocused and more dedicated to his craft. Will's lyrical and musical intensity as well as his passion for life is revealed in this stunning collection of uniquely crafted songs. The first single, "Even If It Breaks Your Heart," is a personal testament to the power of great American rock and roll.

Austrian Death Machine Double Brutal mp3

In July of 2008, Tim Lambesis of As I Lay Dying fame released a side project under the name "Austrian Death Machine." The CD was brilliant in every respect, capturing the anger and brutality of the Governator's movies. Today, the sequel, Double Brutal, has been officially dropped on us. I pre-ordered the album from the official website and received my pre-order package in the mail yesterday afternoon.

All the haste and glitz doesn't save the album from falling a little flat in two areas. First, I noticed there's a new fake Ahhnold on the album. Even though he does sound quite beefy and realistically older, I liked the comedic impersonation from the first album way better.

I also wasn't too fond on the band's reliance on break-downs during their songs. It sounded to me like each break-down sounded exactly the same as the one before, but at a slower tempo. However, I like how Lambesis lowered his dependence on ProTools to get the job done. Here, it sounds like he was able to manage getting the whole band together. If it was done with ProTools, I could never tell.

Now, the songs themselves... None of the songs are as thrashy as, say, Get To The Choppa. BUT, the humor and brilliance in the songwriting extends to this album. The songs are great, my personal favorite is still "I Need Your Clothes, Your Boots, and Your Motorcycle."

Of course, disc two features a bunch of Ahhnold-inspired covers. Out of all of these tracks, I was the most impressed with Trapped Under Ice and Killing Is My Business... And Business Is Good. Hell Bent For Leather is great, except for the fact it's the exact same song as the Christmas EP without the intro part.
I recommend this album to anyone who's a big Arnie fan, fans of ADM, or fans of BROO-TALL music in general. Great album overall.

Gustavo Cerati Fuerza Natural mp3

Siempre tengo la inquietud de cual es el camino que estara tomando Gustavo Cerati al componer para el proximo disco, la inquietud ya termino. Este es un disco mas tranquilo, yo diria nostalgico, para oirse en un viaje de carretera contemplando paisajes. Es un disco pop-rockero pero no tanto como AHI VAMOS... El track He Visto A Lucy tiene influencia de los Beatles, en fin esa es mi opinion. En general el disco es bueno y muy recomendado.

Living Colour The Chair in the Doorway mp3

Six years after the good but poorly produced Collideoscope, Living Colour is back with an exceptional release. The Chair in the Doorway is by far the best album I've heard this year. It is also the band's best release since Time's Up. In a way, it could their most cohesive work, as every song seems to speak to the others.

Every song is a killer but the albums works even better as whole: it is more than the sum of its parts. The sound is heavy as usual (Decadance and Out of my Mind are particularly agressive), but there is room for melody and groove.

One of Living Colour's main virtues is their ability to combine musicianship and experimentation with a strong pop sensibility. That balance is very present in this album, especially in songs like Burned Bridges, That's what you taught me and first single Behind the Sun, which features one of Vernon Reid's most mesmerizing riffs (a tapped arpeggio that will drive guitar players nuts).

The arrangements are complex and intrincate, it takes several listens to get all the details. The exception is Bless Those, a delicious mix of blues, rock and funk that features simply the band playing live in the studio (with Vernon playing some mean slide guitar). The band is incredibly inspired in this album, especially Corey Glover, who gives us a handful of mesmerizing performances. This is the album all Living Colour fans have been waiting.

Big Star Keep An Eye On The Sky mp3

Simply a great set, beautifully packaged with informative notes and stories, and sounds fantastic. Finally, a more of less complete set from this terribly underrated band.

To the customer above who was underwhelmed by the set, they are missing the point. The superior sound quality ALONE makes the set a worthwhile addition to your music collection. And the ephemera in the book and package make this one a delight.

"Keep An Eye On The Sky" collects all of the best of Big Star, plus a more than generous helping of the demos and alternate mixes that give yet another view of something most music fans know little about. The final disc contains a distillation of the 3 sets Big Star performed in Memphis for a rock writer's convention...long-rumored to have been recorded.

Of particular interest is the selection of Alex Chilton solo demos for all three released Big Star records. Chilton's voice is in fine form here, and could've conceivably been released in this form originally!

As for the packaging, the slipcover closely resembles a 1/4" tape box, and the photos inside the beautifully-designed book have been largely unseen. Great photography by Bill Eggleston abounds, as well as shots from original Big Star producer and Ardent owner John Fry make this set a priceless document for even the casual Big Star fan.
Rhino's done it again. Great, great work on a body of work that still moves musicians and fans 35 years after it was recorded. And another example of the stunning rock'n'roll that continues to emanate from Memphis, Tennessee.
