It really sounds funny and interesting from the outset. Two guys put up a website pretending to be the World Trade... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~189722955396 Thu, 14 Jul 2005 05:13:43 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_189722955396?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_183911091844?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author moonwalker84 - Chalk Mark In A Rain Storm is a classy affair. One comes to expect no less from Joni Mitchell. The music herein is awash with drum programming and synthy keyboards. Lyrically, it's a collection of stories, love and commentary. Things have a mellow... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~183911091844 Mon, 23 May 2005 09:38:22 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_183911091844?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_182544273028?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author moonwalker84 - The Beastie Boys; Hip-hop riddled with random cultural references and self-serving humour, interspersed with breezy, funky jazz instrumentals and brief doses of high-school punk rock. In the end, it's an amazing amount of fun. I never really knew what... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~182544273028 Mon, 23 May 2005 08:21:45 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_182544273028?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_181983743620?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author moonwalker84 - Human After All is a bizarro study in minimalism with some terrific moments, and it must've been a gutsy decision to release. That said, it's a total rush job that never reaches it's potential. None of the material here is properly fleshed out -... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~181983743620 Tue, 3 May 2005 03:53:06 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_181983743620?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_179107958404?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author moonwalker84 - Gregg Alexander is one of the most eccentric, bizarro, and brilliant musical geniuses of the 1990's. That said, it is unbelievable how utterly terrible his only solo album, Intoxifornication, is. Bit of history: At age 15 Gregg saved up to... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~179107958404 Wed, 6 Apr 2005 05:55:54 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_179107958404?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_170861497988?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author moonwalker84 - Joni Mitchell had surprised everyone, including herself, with the commercial success of Turbulent Indigo, her 1994 opus which won her Album of the Year at that year's Grammys. And apparently she couldn't stand the attention. So she waited four... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~170861497988 Mon, 24 Jan 2005 00:48:55 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_170861497988?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_170397437572?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author moonwalker84 - 1999: The New Masters is no masterpiece, but it's surely up there with Newpower Soul as one of the artist's most unfairly maligned releases. This is essentially an overpriced remix EP of his classic 1982 party anthem 1999. If you ask... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~170397437572 Thu, 20 Jan 2005 05:50:08 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_170397437572?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_170099248772?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author moonwalker84 - Daft Punk's biggest mistake here was the title. This DVD, four years in the making, is the complete Discovery album set to an anime narrative. It's a gorgeous electronica album to listen to and even better to watch as the story of a beautiful... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~170099248772 Tue, 18 Jan 2005 02:07:58 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_170099248772?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_170091122308?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author moonwalker84 - Jerry Seinfeld once said that one of the most important things to know as a comedian is when to leave the stage. Overstaying your welcome for even thirty seconds can change an audience's entire impression of your act. So maybe it's a good thing the New... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~170091122308 Tue, 18 Jan 2005 01:05:20 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_170091122308?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_169843199620?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author moonwalker84 - Here lies a gorgeous mess of sunny musical substance. Into the Sun is contemporary, genre-hopping, electronic, organic, acoustic, slightly pretentious chillout. It's music that breathes. Put it on to relax. Think of it as the thinking man's Cafe... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~169843199620 Sun, 16 Jan 2005 05:27:38 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_169843199620?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_168919797380?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author moonwalker84 - It's a telling moment on Any Given Thursday when John pauses between songs to tie his shoelaces. "While not conducive to the cool-guy-playing music thing, it's more about balance and dignity" he tells the crowd. He then requests that the... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~168919797380 Sun, 9 Jan 2005 04:04:38 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_168919797380?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_164259204740?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author moonwalker84 - Universal Mother is a beautiful collection of songs from a woman just released from the depths of depression and drug addiction. Perhaps the most essential Sinead record and certaintly her strangest, it's one of those great records to put on when... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~164259204740 Thu, 9 Dec 2004 02:13:56 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_164259204740?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_142532644484?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author moonwalker84 - I think whenever I listen to Vespertine, I'll be reminded of that particular phase in my teenage years. I was 13, desperately lonely and searching for love in the obscure, taking refuge in music. Somehow, the Bjork experience made it all better;... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~142532644484 Fri, 8 Oct 2004 11:07:25 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_142532644484?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_143612546692?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author moonwalker84 - Come is a fascinating, dark footnote in Prince's career. This album is his attempt at a bitter contractual obligation, intended to sell poorly, plss off the record company, and spawn no hit singles. Quite unintentionally, the album went gold and... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~143612546692 Fri, 18 Jun 2004 03:46:20 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_143612546692?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_140049026692?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author moonwalker84 - "Lovesexy: You either had a mind-blowing experience or you didn't." - Prince Lovesexy is possibly Prince's best LP and definetely one of the greatest albums ever recorded.

I had done a good job of tracking down most of her albums, but I was going to leave out... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~103980371588 Sun, 2 May 2004 09:45:45 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_103980371588?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_138308652676?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author moonwalker84 - "When I ran away from home at 16, I took three things.

A better concert experience cannot be found. Behold the B-52's, my favourite band in the cosmos.

On one hand, this disc contains some of the finest pop music of the 20th century. The entire disc is full of classic tracks. If you're going to buy this... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~120859168388 Fri, 5 Dec 2003 08:39:18 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_120859168388?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_94353002116?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author moonwalker84 - Every Man Has A Woman is the 1984 tribute album to Yoko Ono. Apparently, it was originally John's secret little project to surprise Yoko with on her 50th birthday. Alas, due to the events of December 1980, this never came to pass.

I bought it as an ironic purchase, having read many bad reviews of the thing and expecting a laughfest. What I got was very different.
