Takes Me Out in Space and I'm Just Fine With It

Thu, 17 Mar 2005 22:48:30 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mstyles3k - I would like to consider myself somewhat of a music junkie. I started on the basics of what makes rock as we see it today, but after enough time, the simple radio-friendly hits just wouldn't do which raises an interesting question: how do you find out...

Not the Best in Show, But Best for the Buck

Thu, 10 Mar 2005 22:15:14 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author mstyles3k - I have a pair of these in my 99 Jetta III right now, bought for $99.99 at Circuit City and I have mixed feelings about them. Yes, they perform phenomenally loud, but only if you don't push too much bass through them. I'm running them without...

It's Kind of Funny, but Feels More Like Delirium

Sun, 10 Oct 2004 23:18:42 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author mstyles3k - Bert McCracken is psycho. If you look at any of the myriad of publicity shots, you'll find him rolling his eyes to the back of his head, crawling on all fours or fondling the breasts of a blue mannequin. Blender magazine described him as inhabiting "a...

More than you ever needed to know about the D-EJ100

Wed, 28 Apr 2004 17:04:16 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mstyles3k - Portable CD Players get a bad wrap these days. Why carry around one along with a selection of CDs when you can carry a nice iPod and fit your whole music collection in your pocket? Simple answer: the price. Realistically, there are many of us...

Eargasms for the Budget Listener

Mon, 1 Mar 2004 20:13:32 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mstyles3k - I am what you would consider a mild audiophile; whatever it is I'm listening to or on, I must be thoroughly impressed with its clarity, performance, and roundness of sound. That's why when I went shopping for a set of 5.1 speakers for my computer, I...

The Real War Is in the Interpretation

Fri, 3 Oct 2003 14:07:48 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mstyles3k - New Jersey's Thursday blew listeners away with Victory Records release Full Collapse, a record that seemed to revolutionize what we as a general audience consider "emo" (music with an emphasis on the song's emotional identity), thus breaking the ge...

Affordable Solutions For The Everyday Audiophile

Thu, 23 May 2002 14:01:29 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author mstyles3k - It's amazing how difficult it can be to find the right reciever for a car stereo. I mean, come on! The choices are seemingly limitless. There's FM, AM, XM, CD, CD-R, CD-RW, MP3 CD, CDC, SO MANY FEATURES!!! It makes one want to assume the fetal...

Crosstrainer's Delight

Sat, 5 Jan 2002 16:05:51 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mstyles3k - I bought the XP-SP921 as a replacement for another one of the lower X-Trainer series of Aiwa CD Players. Going up about 20 dollars on the price range (from 60 dollars to 80), I found this little diddy at The Good Guys. The other model I was looking at...

Small Bands Really Do Make Good Music

Fri, 4 Jan 2002 02:13:27 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author mstyles3k - Browsing the Amazon.com users' lists for top Christian Hardcore albums, I came across countless names in the Christian Core scene: Stavesacre, Zao, Project 86, the list goes on and on. The one album that stuck out at me, however, was The Light In...

Momentum = Party Music

Thu, 27 Dec 2001 23:07:51 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mstyles3k - If you have ever been into dcTalk, then you know that Toby McKeehan was the main rapper and lyric contributor of the group. However, due to restrictions put on him by the two other group members (Kevin Max and Michael Tait), Toby never got the full...

The only cd player you'll ever need

Sun, 21 Oct 2001 00:13:51 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author mstyles3k - I had bought this cd player as a replacement for the RCA MP3/CD player that I had previously bought from the same store. After several unsuccessful attemps at mastering an MP3/CD player (read the review at

This one'll trip you up!

Tue, 31 Jul 2001 20:13:37 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mstyles3k - Being a TCM fan long before Tweekend came out, I had already had the pleasure of hearing Vegas, a truly awesome sonic experience pumped out four years ago by these bad boys from Glendale, CA. After long mixing sessions (over two years' worth) in their...

This cd will blow your head off!

Fri, 1 Jun 2001 12:12:40 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mstyles3k - If you're tired of always hearing metal bands talking about how depressed they are and how much their life sucks, you should check out Beanbag. This relatively unheard-of group borrows elements of music by Korn, Tool, Rage Against the Machine, and...

If this is Disney's best yet, I can't wait for Atlantis!

Wed, 16 May 2001 23:02:22 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mstyles3k - The first time I saw The Emperor's New Groove, Disney's newest animated feature aside from Atlantis (which is coming out soon and it looks awesome!), I was blown away. Considering the vast experience Disney has had over the years, I wasn't...

Just an Awesome CD!

Wed, 16 May 2001 22:43:34 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mstyles3k - Everyday was the first Dave Matthews Band CD that I have purchased, but believe me, it won't be the last. Due to Dave Matthews' awesome voice and the extremely jazzy feel to his music, Dave Matthews keeps the listener enchanted from beginning to end of...

Sweet Melodic Ecstasy

Sat, 21 Apr 2001 21:06:25 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mstyles3k - I purchased My Own Prison after hearing Creed's second cd, Human Clay. Being surprised as I was by the intensity of Human Clay, I decided to give My Own Prison a shot. In no way was I disappointed.

The opener, Torn, definitely does its best...

Just a Good Pair of Headphones

Tue, 17 Apr 2001 00:45:34 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author mstyles3k - I have many friends who have purchased the TD-61s in the past. Mainly, because of their reasonable price and the cheap throw-ins: a pair of earbud headphones. While the earbud headphones resemble something used twenty years ago, the TD-61...

Please don't

Sun, 15 Apr 2001 00:15:53 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author mstyles3k - I purchased the MZ-R37 right around the time the first MP3 player came out. Seeing as to how little you can fit on an MP3 player, I decided to go with Minidisc. Big mistake. It was fun while it lasted, but this craze is just overwith. With the...

By far the best techno compilation out there

Sat, 14 Apr 2001 13:18:12 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author mstyles3k - I was meandering through the internet one day, looking at different cds to buy, and somehow, the Mortal Kombat Annihilation soundtrack stuck out at me. I had already seen the movie (I don't know how long ago, it was ages at least), but didn't...

Audiogalaxy File Agent: Wow!

Fri, 13 Apr 2001 14:56:13 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mstyles3k - I downloaded Audiogalaxy Satellite when Napster was going downhill. I was thinking about other programs like Gnutella or Napigator, but I didn't want just another Napster program. I wanted a true-to-life MP3 search engine. When I was searching...

By far the best jukebox on the net

Thu, 12 Apr 2001 19:54:21 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mstyles3k - I first heard about MusicMatch Jukebox through MP3.com when the whole MP3 craze started catching on (the pre-Napster days). Previously, I had been using Winamp and Sonique (the worst of two worlds). I found Winamp too basic and Sonique too full of...

Just a Great VCR!

Thu, 12 Apr 2001 19:26:52 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mstyles3k - I bought this VCR for my birthday two years ago. It cost roughly around 130 dollars at a nearby electronics store. Right from the time I opened up the box it came in, I knew this VCR would last me quite some time.

To begin with,...

Wish I had bought this

Wed, 11 Apr 2001 23:51:07 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mstyles3k - I really wish I had bought the Expanium. Instead, I bought the RCA HP2410 player. Fortunately, I have friends that own the Expanium and have had the opportunity to play around with it. Believe me, the Expanium exceeds the RP2410 and the rest of...

What you see isn't always what you get

Wed, 11 Apr 2001 02:48:55 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author mstyles3k - I bought the RP2410 when I found it in an electronics store ad for about 140 dollars (about $100 off retail price). Judging by other's opinions on the product, I thought it would be perfect. If the cd player was 250 dollars on retail, I couldn't...

Save your money

Mon, 8 Jan 2001 00:39:20 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author mstyles3k - I have previously owned the SportaPro brand headphone and I can honestly tell you to save your money and go with something else. There are just too many reasons why you should not spend the 30 dollars to get this pair of headphones:
