Discount Amazon Sampler

I personally like this band. Their sound, if i may describe it, is light retro pop. With a flute line and quirky backing vocal, this Indonesian band brings those happy, sweet sound that isn't on the usual menu for indie music. You may not be able to understand the lyrics, but their music speak for itself. No need for translations.Get more detail about Amazon Sampler.

Cheapest Boldaslove.us Presents: Fire In The Dark

A pretty good compilation overall. There are several enjoyable tunes, but "Freedom is Over" by Sophia Ramos is exceptional; I also liked "The Last Time We're Here" by The Family Stand.Get more detail about Boldaslove.us Presents: Fire In The Dark.

Cheap The Best Of The Sun Years

I noticed Amazon recently removed the descriptor that would tell you approximate bitrate of the files you're "buying" (licensing?). Still...they point to a page that indicates that "where possible" they rip at 256. This is not even *close* for this album. These files average a pathetic 151 VBR. Slowly but surely, I'm losing my buzz about Amazon MP3 and going back to my reliable CD formats. Get more detail about The Best Of The Sun Years.

Buying I Have Come To Claim My Throne

I was originally drawn to the album cover artwork. The brilliant monochrome green just looked so peaceful and nice. Then I listened to the track and my ears lost all sense of peace. This track is primarily noise and a-rhythm. Do not recommend unless you are trying to annoy neighbors or get your parents attention because you dont feel loved.Get more detail about I Have Come To Claim My Throne.

Buy People Are Crazy

Kenny Chesney really messed up recording this and then not putting it on his album!Get more detail about People Are Crazy.

Purchase Dead Sound

Dead Sound is one great "alive" sound with originality and great vocals. If you like originality with a hint of rockabilly, a nice touch of Indie with some punk, progressive and pop influences...it's for you. Fortunately, I do,do,do like "Dead Sound" and think that the band is worth more than a listen. They don't fit neatly in any category adding more to my sincere "like this band" attitude.

Not to be eaten with morning Cheerios, the tempo is something to be awake before enjoying. There's more room in the world for originality, good sound and they certainly deserve their earned place. This one's a winner at the starting gate. You actually hear it from the start and it's progressively better through the song. The musician's come through as artists in arrangement.

Look for them to hit some international charts, they are really quite good.Get more detail about Dead Sound.

Order Cage The Elephant

I have to admit, I first heard the "No Rest For The Wicked" song from the opening scenes of the game Borderlands. Decided I had to find that band right then, and here they are.

Definitely worth the download .. especially so at $2.99.Get more detail about Cage The Elephant.

Blanket Review

I have been in love with this song since I saw the Jeff Beck Live at Ronnie Scott's, on "PALLADIA". Her voice is one of the most incredible female vocalist I've ever heard and with Jeff Beck's' guitar this performance is totally mesmerizing, a must see. I've been trying to figure out how to get this song and add it to my library since I saw it, and found this free download for it on Amazon, Awesome! Thanks Amazon.Get more detail about Blanket.

The Climb This instant

I can appreciate talent, and I can appreciate young singers with vocal talent whose voices have not yet fully matured. What I cannot respect under any circumstance is overproduction in the vocal department.

Miley Cyrus' 'The Climb' has been one of the greatest, chart-topping songs this year alone. With previous songs such as 'Seven Things' and 'Fly on the Wall,' it was surprising to hear an inspirational piece on such a scope come from Miley, whom I never expected to attempt such a theme. But, despite the lyrics, and despite how well done the song might by done musically, it fails vocally, if only because it is overproduced. Compared to the studio, the live version is filled with so much nasal singing that it makes it almost unbearable to listen to.

Miley Cyrus, while an ambitious young woman, is no one to be admired musically. There are many more talented singers out there that deserve to have a record deal comparable to Cyrus'. Sadly, though, many of them will never get that chance because they don't fit the mold the music industry is trying to fill with vocally-untalented Disney Stars who will appeal to teens and preteens.

'The Climb' is beautiful--lyrically, not vocally.Get more detail about The Climb.

Come Back Darling Immediately

I love, love this song, but the quality is HORRIBLE! I don't know how they converted it but it is very hard to listen since there is so much treble and the volume goes up and down a bit in the actual song. :( Based on this sample I wouldn't buy the rest of cd because of these issues even though it sounds like stuff I would adore.

Acoustic EP Buy Now

I await these tracks with the utmost of aticipation as my fav playlist loops around while I'm puttering around the house. Her crisp, sultry voice is full of soul and eminates a light natural vibrato that reaches inside of you and makes you -feel- the song. First, the Seafarer is an allegorical ditty probably tied to old english poem about the seafarer in some way as well, who's to know exactly what it means to her? But she talks about what a great man he is and how he is the center of her world. Tempo wise, I would consider it Andante Moderato espressivo, in english, a little faster than walking pace with some exceptions for expressiveness. Overall, when it starts out you're thinking nice voice but who cares about a seafarer, but it builds up into a more emotionally attracting song. If her vocals weren't so strong, it would be lost! Next we have On The Stage, at a little faster pace (allegretto grazioso) but still quite smooth it catches your attention right away. She shows a little bit more of the playful, lilting quality of voice in this piece, although it is still sad tonewise. This one is short, like it was something she wrote at the end of a grueling practice day... Lastly, we have the pleasure of listening to Greatest Love. The vocals have more range in this piece, and she goes between a whispery quality, to a robust one, a weary one, thick vibrato, sadness, reflection. In this song we really get a look -into- Kate Walsh. It's a treat, but it's also a frustrating, sometimes disappointing, and weary place. For listeners, though, these songs are must have to anyone who is creatively inclined, or likes to listen while reading, taking a walk, or just relaxing. If you like Kate Walsh check out Erin McCarley, there is a free acoustic version of one of her songs called Pitter-Pat in the free samples of Amazon and here is the link to the rest of the cd: Love, Save the EmptyGet more detail about Acoustic EP.

Final Frontier Decide Now

Wow! This is a surprisingly good tune with a kind of 60s funk to it. I checked out some other of RJD2's songs, and they seem to be a widely-varied collection, with Final Frontier being the only one I previewed like it. It has a beat that makes your foot tap or makes you want to do some kind of weird, slow, funky dance.

Relative to the Preview, this song varies a little in tempo, but the Preview is representative. At 4:25 long, it gets a tad repetitive, but I'm glad I got it. Get more detail about Final Frontier.

Lowest Price Label Sampler 2009

Well, I checked it out. I gave it a listen or three and I'm sad to say I'm sorry I did. I'm very thankful that Amazon (and the respective labels) gives us these free samplers. It gives me a chance to try out some new artists (well, new to me anyway) whom I wouldn't have heard of otherwise. Occasionally, I've struck gold and I go back to buy an artists album. I'm sad to say that this time, I had no such luck. I didn't like a single tune on this sampler. I guess you can't win 'em all. Maybe you'll find something you like. I hope you do. Thanks for providing it though, Amazon. I truly appreciate it!Get more detail about Label Sampler 2009.

Discount Rated R

With this album Rihanna showed that she is much more than a pretty face who can belt out a catchy tune: Rated R has both depth and strength. Rihanna dared to step out of the cookie cutter pop-star mold by challenging herself and, more importantly, her fans. Every track is a departure from anything we have experienced in her previous albums. It's edgy, soulful and moving. I dare say it is the best album of the year thus far and 2009 is almost over.

In my opinion most of the negative criticism is coming from fans who are resistant to change. She grew as an artist and by doing so she may have outgrown some of her fans but she will surely pick up many new ones. I certainly count myself among them. Keep an open mind and listen to the entire album: it will not disappoint. Get more detail about Rated R.

Cheap Clandestino

Get a taste of Manu with this very cool live song. He mixes genres from all over the world, therefore, you can't just peg him to being solely a Latin American musician...not at all. Give him a listen if you like the world music vibe, from Reggae to Trova, Ska to Samba, and so on. You will soon appreciate a fun, lively musician. If you have a chance to see MC live, I would highly recommend it. Talk about a diverse, unique, enjoyable crowd.

The first part is nice christmas-y music. It's good background music, or good to just sit there and listen to. The last little part is 'Welcome Christmas' like the Who's sing in the Grinch movie.

Southern Voice This instant

The fist listen to Tim McGraw's Southern Voice CD and I thought, it's ok, but not up there with say Set This Circus Down. But then I listened a few more times and have decided Southern Voice is my favorite Tim McGraw CD. Every time I try to decide which song is my favorite I just can't.

I agree with some of the other reviews that It's A Business... and Southern Voice are the weakest songs on the CD - but they do seem like just the right stuff for today's radio. And except for those 2, every song on Southern Voice I can "feel it in my soul." They are slices of life and McGraw is a master at telling those stories. Even if we have not personally lived those stories we can all relate to them. I can SEE the story unfold as if I'm watching a video as McGraw is singing the songs.

I first heard Tim sing "Still" and "You Had To Be There" in concert summer of 2008 and loved them both from the first listen. "Still" reminds me to just be still an enjoy my life - all the fond memories of the past and those to come.

"If I Died Today" has me in tears every time I hear it. Admit it, who hasn't wondered what would happen ... "Love You Goodbye" tells a story that too many people have lived and is another that makes me tear up when I hear it.

The haunting melody is what first caught my attention on "Good Girls" but it was the lyrics that keep that attention. Another song that shows McGraw is not afraid to take risks.

The uptempo love gone wrong "Ghost Town Train" has a melody that stays in your head.

Southern Voice is a CD I have recommended to every one of my friends.

Battle Studies Right now

As a long time John Mayer fan and a fellow musician, I have to say this album is a disaster. I have loved all of his other albums, but this one is nothing like them. He seems to be experimenting with a different sound-one which is not working for him. Some of the songs are very 80's sounding. His rendition of crossroads is terrible; I'm sure Robert Johnson is turning over in his grave. Get more detail about Battle Studies.

Save Ninna nanna

I have no idea why they put this in the "Pop/General" category.

Think Astrud Gilberto - Sultry vocals backed with Bossa Nova/Latin Jazz orchestrations.
It transports you to a scene in a1940's black and white film, set in a cafe in Rio, or Havana.

You would never believe this band was formed in Portland, Oregon to play at political fundraisers!

Cheapest Cowboy Casanova

I'm not generally a country-music fan. This crossover hit is so catchy, reminiscent of an early Shania Twain...and a perfect foil for Underwood's vocal talents. I like the tempo changes, and this is a welcome departure from so many of today's extremely synthesized numbers. This is a great song for every-day listening, and fast enough to include in a work-out mix. I hope it doesn't get to the overplayed-we-are-sick-of-it radio play status.Get more detail about Cowboy Casanova.

Buying Them Crooked Vultures

I'll skip the track-by-track reviews, as others have done that better than I could. This CD is easily one of the five best of the year. Three modern musical geniuses collaborating and building on each other's work.

Although the CD isn't going to change rock forever, it's solid, with no filler, no "skippable" tracks, and smart, edgy tone throughout. It sounds most like QOTSA, but is definitely NOT another QOTSA CD. Fans of Foo Fighters and Led Zep get to see a a new side of some of their favorite artists.

A must-have for any lover of hard rock (in any of its forms). Get more detail about Them Crooked Vultures.

Buy Imagine

Being someone with partial hearing, I was never able to fully enjoy this music in the original format because in the original, the sound quality was sloppy and the whole album/CD sounded like it was buried in mud.

This digitized version, cleaned up and fine-tuned, makes this a first-rate listening experience. Some musical purists may scoff at the improvements, but for me, as a music fan, and not some high-tech critic, these improvements make this CD or MP3 download well worth purchasing.Get more detail about Imagine.

Purchase Already Gone

Since her victory on American Idol, Kelly Clarkson has reliably produced guilty pleasure songs. She became a diva; to her astonishment, she became the next Cher. Her sophomore release, My December garnered controversy due to her decision to go emo--but still had strong songs. Clarkson's latest hit "Already Gone",is "controversial" due to its resemblance to Beyonce's Halo

So,Ryan Tedder produced both songs. "Already Gone" is "controversial" in the sense that it's generic. It's not even in the realm of guilty pleasures. "Already Gone" is so bland that within minutes,it's already gone from one's mind. There's no spirit or soul to it. It's ambient music fit for a shopping mall. "Already Gone",thankfully,leaves the memory.Get more detail about Already Gone.
