"Live album, from 1986. Surprisingly, for a band known for mopey songs, most of the songs here are played fast and aggressive, and the various guitars are kind of lost in the mix. Includes "The Draize Train," which isn't on any of their studio albums or Louder Than Bombs."

"Some of this is great, some is ok, some is just, meh. You want this for 2 songs/remixes, The Barry, and the Annie Lennox. The Reba and Janet are also great. Diana, Donna and Gloria make it worth it. Its mixed, so if you want to manipulate to just do certain cuts, it's a little work, but itunes is easy to do that with."

"I was surprised that I was able to sing along with almost every song on this CD, despite not previously being an overt fan of Everly Brothers' music. They really have carved a place in the American musical psyche when their lyrics exist in your brain as if passed on by your parents' DNA.
There is pure listening joy associated with harmonizing relatives. Other examples include the Bee Gees, the Avett Brothers, The Carter Family, etc., and it's on full display here in songs like "Bye Bye Love", "Wake up, Little Susie" and my personal favorite "Cathy's Clown".
This CD is just song after song of enjoyable music, I highly recommend you give it a listen, it's a real mood-lifter."

Kevin G. (kkg-ct). - 5/19/2025 10:13 AM
"Excited to share the breakout Zevon effort. A sly witty exercise to the late 70's ethos of worldly knowledge and perfect hair. Werewolf's of London was an event at the time and still causes thirst for a Pina Colada. Darker thoughts emerged in Roland and Excitable boy, explorations of amok masculinity, and political awareness in Lawyers Guns and Money showing a sophistication far beyond pop sensibility. Musically very strong with stunning lyrics."

"While I've enjoyed this collection since I purchased it decades ago, I have found that it even improves more with age (mine). Maybe I don't know his entire discography well enough to say whether substitutions should have been made, but there's really nothing I'm missing or wanting to skip with this. It includes many of the songs he is playing currently in the hits portion of concerts. I consider his Graceland album to be essential listening as well."

Review by:
Myles M.. - 4/29/2025 12:30 PM
"This is, in my humble opinion, the best album Dire Straits ever made. The title track is beautiful and haunting, and still relevant forty years later. Walk Of Life is just a fun song, and the sports-themed music video even more so. Your Latest Trick and So Far Away are well-written and a joy to listen to. And then, of course, Money For Nothing, perhaps the band's best-known song. A 'happy accident' of microphone placement landed that amazng guitar sound, unedited for the album. Sting's background vocals are fun and vital. The lyrics are at once both incredibly bizarre and a blast. I spun throught this album (on cassette) many times while riding the bus from my parents' home in Decatur, Illinois back to the Great Lakes Naval Base wqhile I was in electronics school, my first year in the Navy. It never disappointed."

"I traded for this on a whim, and I am very glad I did! There are a lot of great tunes from the 80's spread across the two discs. Greatest hits by various artists discs like this can sometimes only provide a few songs that one prefers over a bunch that don't hit the mark, but I was really happy with how many quality songs were included."

"This album gives 0 FÂ¥x for the idiots who cannot recognise free speech, talented artists and their glorious music. These ladies have risen above the abuse thrown at them and are unafraid to call people out. All their albums are a revelation, with sweet, sorrowful, saucy, spicy and strong songs. The Chicks are always a good listen."

Review by:
Jason G. (jasong). - 4/6/2025 3:45 PM
"Listening back to Days of the New's debut album, 28 years after its release, I have come to appreciate and enjoy aspects of this album.
Lead vocalist and main songwriter (Travis Meeks) was only 17-years old upon its release and it sounds like he was going through some dark times. Thrown on a press and concert tour must have been difficult especially without the proper support available to help him work though these issues.
Musically, Days of the New are an acoustic post-grunge band that will instantly remind you of all their grunge forefathers. Some listeners from that era can't get past these comparisons, but there is some really beautiful guitar work on this album and the backing band (which ended up forming Tantric); play perfectly to Meek's heavy handed riffing.
Favourite Tracks: Touch Peel and Stand, Now & Where I Stand"

Review by:
Jason G. (jasong). - 4/6/2025 2:17 PM
"I have only just begun delving into Fleetwood Mac's members' solo discography. The most popular of them is Stevie Nicks' - but I have really loved Lindsey Buckingham's solo output. Gift of Screws is Buckingham's fifth studio album and it really surprised me on how immediate, refreshing and experimental it sounds. Both Mick Fleetwood and John McVie are featured on multiple tracks throughout the album, so that classic Fleetwood Mac rhythmic feel is present to balance out the experimental tracks. A must have for Fleetwood Mac fans.
Favourite Tracks: Great Day, Time Precious Time and Bel Air Rain"
 | Boston Third Stage Label: Mca Release Date: 10/25/1990 |
Review by:
Jason G. (jasong). - 4/5/2025 3:55 PM
"Boston's third album is a must listen on headphones - the big thing about this release (as mentioned multiple times in the liner notes) - there was no orchestral or synthesizers used to create the sounds and it took 6 years to conceive and complete. There are some wonderful nuances to this album that really shine on repeated listens (how are those not violins at the end of âStill In Love")?
I didn't grow up with this era of music, but to me this is classic AOR hard rock. Soaring vocals, expressive, driving guitar work and a traditional rockin' good times vibe. I have learned over time that you really can't go wrong with picking up a Boston album.
Favourite Tracks: Amanda, Cool The Engines & Can'tcha Say / Still In Love"

Jason G. (jasong). - 4/5/2025 2:54 PM
"Bounce is the eighth studio album from the band and is full of radio ready, stadium rockers with a few ballads thrown in for balance. This may sound like I'm writing it off, but I actually enjoyed the album. It's an easy listen and pretty much what I expected from Mid-2000's Jovi.
Favourite Tracks: The Distance, Hook Me Up & Love Me Back To Life"

Katcha S. (Jain). - 3/30/2025 3:39 PM
"This is my second attempt to find and appreciate a Dianne Reeves album. The first cd was a Ella Fitzgerald 'clone' - scat singing which isn't a style I enjoy. This album reminds me of Whitney Huston in the 80s. Again, not what I was seeking.
She does have a fabulous voice, just hope she can find HER 'style' and if that is 'soft jazz', I'll give that a try."
