Epinions Recent Reviews for Eurythmic

Mandy Moore - WILD HOPE

Fri, 24 Aug 2007 03:23:57 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Eurythmic - It would be an understatement to say that I was not fond of Mandy Moore when she first broke into mainstream radio. Positioned as direct competition to some of the biggest pop divas of this generation, Moore didn't stand out, always seemed to be trying...

Duran Duran - ASTRONAUT

Tue, 21 Sep 2004 00:03:44 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author Eurythmic - 2001 brought great news for Duran Duran's millions of fans worldwide. That Summer, it was announced that the band's original lineup had reconvened, and were tentatively working on material for a new album. Duran Duran has been my favorite band for a long...

Tears For Fears - THE HURTING (Remastered)

Sun, 20 Jan 2002 01:15:52 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Eurythmic - Tears For Fears should be far more respected. So many people seem to dismiss them as typical '80s synth-pop, when they were in fact far more ambitious and intelligent about their art. The Hurting is not only an extremely rewarding concept piece...

The Human League - CRASH

Sat, 19 Jan 2002 22:57:39 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author Eurythmic - I think it's interesting how many New Romantic bands released an album like the Human League's Crash - heavily produced, and a significant stylistic departure from their earlier work. Duran Duran did it with Notorious, Orchestral Manoeuvres...

Thomas Dolby - THE GATE TO THE MIND'S EYE

Sat, 19 Jan 2002 21:06:54 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author Eurythmic - I like looking through cutout and bargain bins every once in a while. Although I do pick up the occasional duffer, I can also luck out, and get an album that turns out to be very enjoyable. And more often than not, these are albums that I either wouldn't...

Kylie Minogue - FEVER

Sat, 19 Jan 2002 02:08:03 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Eurythmic - I'm so excited!

I logged onto Epinions yesterday, eager to write a review for Kylie Minogue's most recent album, Fever. Unfortunately, Epinions has a very US-centric selection of albums, and they don't allow you to add indies or imports...

Mandy Moore - IN MY POCKET (Australian Import)

Sat, 19 Jan 2002 00:47:21 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author Eurythmic - I was browsing around on Epinions the other day, when I came across this entry for Mandy Moore's single, In My Pocket. I looked over the reviews, and realized that it was the song the reviewers were writing about, and not the single...

Real McCoy - ANOTHER NIGHT

Thu, 17 Jan 2002 02:08:19 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author Eurythmic - Ahh, the things you can find in cutout bins. I was at a little music festival in Grand Rapids four or five years back, when I saw a copy of Another Night at a record store for three dollars. I've always had a particular fascination with early '90s...

Paul McCartney - DRIVING RAIN

Tue, 15 Jan 2002 23:50:55 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Eurythmic - It took me quite a few years to finally pick Paul McCartney's 1997 album Flaming Pie up. I had the single, The World Tonight - and I enjoyed it. But really, aside from the classic records Ram and Band On The Run, I had never...

Depeche Mode - EXCITER

Mon, 14 Jan 2002 23:53:52 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author Eurythmic - I bought Exciter when it was released, mainly out of curiosity - I had picked up Violator only a few months earlier, and in that time it had grown to become one of my favorite synth-pop albums. Enjoy The Silence and Policy Of...

No Doubt - ROCK STEADY

Mon, 14 Jan 2002 00:23:12 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Eurythmic - I hadn't expected to hear from No Doubt again for quite a while. After all, it took the band five years to come up with Return Of Saturn, the follow-up to their breakthrough hit Tragic Kingdom. Return To Saturn was only mildly...

TENACIOUS D - Sex Lessons With Jack Black And Kyle Gass

Sun, 13 Jan 2002 22:14:17 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author Eurythmic - I've always enjoyed Jack Black, and Tenacious D's skit (skits?) on Saturday Night Live - and they apparently had some HBO spots that I haven't seen. All very entertaining, but I was still surprised when I found out that a full album was on the way...

Wham! - MAKE IT BIG (Just Not In A Public Restroom, Please)

Sun, 13 Jan 2002 20:01:59 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author Eurythmic - Ahh, Wham. The very mention of the name conjures memories of Miami Vice, hairspray and makeup - on men, VH-1's Where Are They Now?, countless onstage jokes (and honestly excellent cover performances) by the Barenaked Ladies, singer...

BRITNEY: Biggest Letdown Of 2001.

Fri, 26 Oct 2001 23:55:59 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author Eurythmic - NOTE: For reasons unknown, Epinions no longer allows reviewers to edit reviews once they have been published. If I miss any typos, I am sorry.

I was extremely anxious to hear what Britney Spears would do with her third album...

Michael Jackson: INVINCIBLE

Fri, 24 Aug 2001 20:33:41 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author Eurythmic - It's been six years since the release of Michael Jackson's last proper album HIStory. And even that was something of an oddity, having been bundled with a Greatest Hits collection. Many shoppers ignored the double gold CD set due to its steep...

N'Sync - CELEBRITY

Fri, 20 Jul 2001 19:21:00 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Eurythmic - Is this album the next Thriller? Well, no. Duplicating the King of Pop is impossible, but Michael Jackson's influence is literally all over Celebrity. (And really, if you make pop music - is there a better person to emulate?) N'Sync's...

A-Ha - HUNTING HIGH AND LOW

Thu, 5 Jul 2001 23:52:53 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Eurythmic - UPDATE: I just found out that Epinions no longer accepts album submissions, like they used to. And since A-Ha's latest album Minor Earth ~ Major Sky is only available as an import, it apparently isn't important enough to be on here. So, here's my...

Matchbox Twenty - MAD SEASON

Mon, 2 Jul 2001 21:08:59 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Eurythmic - They used to be my personal joke. My joke for everything that sucked about pop and rock music. Between myself and my friends, "Rob Thomas" seemed to be the musical punchline for everything. Those terrible songs with rotten lyrics that didn't go anywhere,...

Snow - 12 INCHES OF SNOW

Sun, 1 Jul 2001 23:26:29 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author Eurythmic - ...Mostly just a trip down memory lane.

I was in seventh grade, and "Informer" was THE song on the radio. Everyone I knew spent their between-class breaks singing along with the song, trying to be the first to get those crazy lyrics...

Mandy Moore - MANDY MOORE

Wed, 20 Jun 2001 20:35:44 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Eurythmic - The teenpop genre is a bit of a guilty pleasure for me. I can recognize the fact that it has little to no musical value and that it's disposable by design, yet I'm strangely drawn to and fascinated by it.

Upon hearing Mandy Moore's...

Highly progressive. Rewarding after a few listens.

Tue, 26 Sep 2000 20:36:29 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Eurythmic - It's hard to know who Jethro Tull were trying to challenge in 1972 - their audience, or the band itself. Thick As A Brick is about as far from a traditional rock album as you can get. Not a collection of songs, this album is in fact one long track...

Probably resides among the ten best rock albums ever.

Tue, 26 Sep 2000 03:28:54 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Eurythmic - I wasn't alive back in 1971, but I can imagine that Aqualung must have caused quite a stir. Even right now, there's probably a teen with an eclectic taste in music (and highly religious parents) hiding a copy of this album under his or her bed...

A big improvement.

Tue, 26 Sep 2000 00:12:44 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Eurythmic - Before I begin my review, I'd like to offer a brief thanks to whoever engineered and mixed down the recordings for the Benefit sessions. The album sounds so much better than Stand Up, it isn't funny. It doesn't take an audiophile's ears to...

Jethro Tull is born.

Mon, 25 Sep 2000 22:43:41 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author Eurythmic - With the departure of Mick Abrahams and the addition of electric guitarist Martin Barre, the core of Jethro Tull was formed (Barre and Ian Anderson remain together today). Released in 1969, Stand Up showcases a band that had all but given up their...

Duran Duran: Decade Times Two: A guide to the music of Duran Duran.

Mon, 25 Sep 2000 02:12:28 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Eurythmic - Once upon a time, a group of five men from Birmingham, barely into their twenties provided the eighties with its own version of Beatlemania. Through their seminal use of the music video medium, they managed to put their faces into cable televisions...
