Amazon.com With Shine, fans awaiting a new Meredith Brooks CD are in for a letdown, but not because the music isn't great. The trouble here is that Shine is really Bad Bad One, Brooks' 2002 release, reshuffled--song for song everything is the same, only the new title track takes prominence courtesy of what's called the "Dr. Phil Remix" tacked to the end. Essentially, Brooks and her new label are retrying the Bad Bad material, hedging their bets that the affable TV host, who liked "Shine" enough to play it on his show, will help resurrect it. Could turn out they're onto something: Back in "Bitch" form after a hiatus to explore genres including hip-hop, Brooks rocks this all-around likable disc in her deliberately off-kilter way. "Crazy" is yet another tag she doesn't much mind wearing, as she proves in time to her own cranking guitars, and "High" issues a surprising sliver of disco done right. A couple of companion tracks in the middle, "Pleasure" and "Pain," pull listeners back to the '70s for a pleasant march down melody lane. --Tammy La Gorce Similarly Requested CDs

CD ReviewsGet this Album! G. E. Williams | California | 10/20/2004 (5 out of 5 stars) "If you don't already have Bad Bad One, This is an album to buy! Meredith Brooks is an extremely tallented and under exposed Rock Musician. (Not a pop tart) She plays honest rock guitar, with couragously honest lyrics. Out of the 100 plus CD'S I keep in my car, this album plays about 25 % of the time and stayed in the deck for about a month when I first got it. Hopefully, with this release it will get the exposure it deserves and more new music will be in the making. If you want to hear a real woman of rock... This is the album for you!" It's like deja vu, all over again mktsqhero | New Bedford, Massachusetts United States | 11/14/2004 (4 out of 5 stars) "I'll admit it, I'm a complete lemming. I was so pumped to see that there was a new Meredith Brooks album, that I failed to take a closer look at what I was buying. I started to listen to "Shine" and I felt a sense of deja vu. Then I relized my blunder, I've just re-bought "Bad Bad One". Don't get me wrong, I love the record; but I could've put "Bad Bad One" in my CD player and hit "Random" to get the same effect. For those who might not have bought this the first time around (and apparently there are a lot of you out there); buy it this time around." SARCASTIC SAM NEEDS TO BE RELIEVED OF HIS REVIEW DUTIES Arthur G. Decker | Woodstock, Georgia United States | 06/03/2005 (5 out of 5 stars) "Why is it that people have to be so mean-I really can NOT believe the review of Sarcastic Sam!!-Anyway in my opinion-Meredith Brooks is one of the few real GEMS that the US has produced in a long time-Maybe it is because she is beautiful, talented, a great vocalist, sexy as anybody, & a talented & visually stunning guitar player that some people can NOT handle her ability. What a shame for all people everywhere-that Meredith Brooks is NOT a UNIVERSAL SUPERSTAR-Meredith if you are out there-please-DO NOT EVER GIVE UP YOUR DREAM!!!!"
