Bones Takes Center Stage
930569
Primitive is a novella/short story centered around just Bones.  It was a little strange to have Bones with no Maddock but who doesn't love Bones.

Bones is asked to help find cryptid in Florida.  While he isn't much of a believer in the beginning, a cute woman never fails to change Bones mind.

There is a change in Bones in Primitive.  He seems more serious instead of the kidding sidekick of Maddock.  Nice to see that side of him.

As usually, David Wood is a master at creating a vivid image of the events.  Looking forward to more Bonebreak Adventures.

NOT MUCH OF A GROUP EFFORT , this album was dominated by krayzie bone. All tracks were mainly krayzie solos. The group did apear on some tracks , but thats like 3. Not a new lp , just unreleased songs , to support their dvd. Not bad though.

I would have to say that this is my favourite 'all round' bone thugs album, i say this because 'Art of War' has some faster flows but then it als has some really slow ones, my advice is to play this album from start to finish, honestly it's that good! there isn't one song t worth listening too. My complete favourites are songs 1,2,3,4,5,10,14,15,16.

If you've ever had one of those frustration dreams where you cannot keep up with all the tasks in sight, Break No Bones will remind you of one of those dreams.  Temperance Brennan has agreed to teach an archeology field school at the last minute after no other substitute can be found.  While there, she excavates Native American burial mounds and has an unpleasant time with the developer who wants to build on the mounds.  But the end is in sight when a student rushes up to say that there's a body there that was buried later than the rest.  What she finds causes Dr. Brennan to call the local coroner, an old friend, Emma Rousseau.  Before she knows what's hit her, Temperance finds herself doing the forensics on the all-too-recent body.  Before long, bodies are showing up as fast as she can investigate them . . . and she finds herself in the middle of a complex investigation.

How else is her life complicated?  Her estranged husband, Pete, arrives on an investigation of his own into the finances of a local ministry and a missing woman.  Her current love, Ryan, decides to make an unscheduled stop and the tension is deep among the three.

Emma is having some personal challenges and Temperance is kept busy helping out on that end as well.

As you might expect with a novel written by a forensic anthropologist, the crime scene investigation and autopsy aspects of the novel are impeccable.  They are thoughtful, subtle and rewarding.  That part of the book is five-star.

The plot itself is messier than it needs to be for a good murder mystery.  A lot of the red herrings don't really lead you away from the conclusion, which is pretty obvious.

The relationships among Temperance, Pete and Ryan are very simplistically developed.  The writing isn't very interesting or very rewarding on that front.

To "brighten" up her prose, Dr. Reichs decides to add bon mots (a la Robert Parker) . . . but for me, these attempts at humor fell flat.  They were awkward rather than advancing the characters or the plot.

If you haven't read any of Dr. Reichs' books before, I suggest you skip this one and Deja Dead instead.  If you are a fan of the series, do read this book but realize that it's not up to her usual standard.

the dvd is off the hook, a lot of music videos for you real hip-hop or eazy heads. you will not be dissappointed with the dvd. the interview is tight, the behind the scenes of ruthless records was tight. to be honest, i only got this dvd hoping bone was on it, and they were. they are one of my favorite rap groups but without the man eazy-e, there would not be any bone thugs-n-harmony. the cd is maad right, although i question their originality. sometimes they sound real tight, really nice. other times i'm wondering if they just chopped the songs up to feature other artists thereby expanding more unused eazy material to capatalize on. but w/e, the cd is HOT, very nice. it's a nice cross of "new old skool." the tracks are no doubt ol skool gangsta rap, but with a bit of modern g flava. if e was still around, this is exactly what rap and hip hop would sound like. eric wright r.i.p. 11423

Presto's sister record arrives in the form of Roll The Bones. Both similarly styled and produced (Rupert Hine).

Face Up has a nice tempo but I can't get past the chorus. It's a tad too sing-songy and just not a strong suit. Light-but-benign instrumental in Where's My Thing. (Really notice the serious lack of bottom end in the mix here, sadly). Funky start with the guitars, but overall this is something Rush has done a lot better in the past. It's like Rush-Lite in instrumental form. I'd rather have all the big calories and big sound like YYZ and La Villa Strangiato.

The Big Wheel grows on you with each listen, as does Heresy. Nice riffage to start with the former. Good energy here. Like this quite a bit. (Kinda would like to hear some snappy Peart chops in this song, but alas...nah). Heresy is a nice soft song with great lyrics. (Peart is in fine form on this album. I really dig this side of his writing....lament and loss). I'm not fond of the post 2nd verse break (do we have to be forgiving at last), but then we're right back into the main swell again. Good song.

Ghost Of A Chance works well too, especially the exceptional chorus section (I don't believe in destiny....). This song has a great fade out as well. Nice guitars to open the song.

I'm not really at all fond of Neurotica (despite the typical Rush keyboard *splash* to open the song) and much less so You Bet Your Life, both of which have uncharacteristically annoying choruses too. I don't mean to throw the baby out with the bath water but a weak chorus is a pretty mortal songwriting sin. I just don't have too much to say about these two except that there's not much there that interested me.

On the plus side Dreamline, Bravado, and Roll The Bones (even the rap part, which is cheesy white guy stuff, but palpable...and actually kind of cool live)....all of which open the album and mark the best on the record. Bravado, especially, is very quality. GREAT Peart lyrics here...(though everything is lost, we will pay the price - makes me think it's a sad foreshadowing to a few years down the road for him). Really fine Geddy vocal performance here, kids. This isn't quite as good as The Pass, but they're definitely cut from the same swath of cloth.

Really good album in spots, picking up with what Presto started with....(more maturity). That being said I'm not quite as fond of this album as the last, but its good moments are solid, as usual. The two albums are generally very close, the difference being that nothing here is quite as good as The Pass and Show Don't Tell....and the lesser stuff is a bit more irksome (some questionable choruses) than on the previous record. Still the good stuff, as always, keeps you tuned in....and ensures occasional rotation in your CD player. They're getting the same rating, however....with the caveat that Presto is closer to 4 side of three and a half for me and Roll The Bones hangs more towards the 3 end of that range...but all things considered they're very comparable records.

This refreshingly *different* season of Bones is gearing up to be one of the series' best! It is just the reinvigoration the show needed!

Life has changed at the Jeffersonian since we last saw our favorite crime-solvers. After last season's pregnancy bombshell of an ender, we pick up with forensic anthropologist Dr. Temperance Brennan entering her third trimester, hormones all over the place as she bumbles in that adorable way that only Brennan can into the frightening role of motherhood. As always, her partner FBI Agent Seeley Booth is there by her side, more loving and more happy than we've ever seen him. Having them together romantically (FINALLY), is a joy I'm still unable to get over :) It feels... natural. It almost makes you wonder, why wasn't it always this way? (Also makes you forget the angsty love triangle of season 6 ever even happened! Hannah who? ;p)

I think David Boreanaz and Emily Deschanel slipped into this new relationship quite easily. What's great is that not a lot has changed, and yet, EVERYTHING has. They live together, they're planning on buying a house, they kiss and cuddle on the couch and Booth croons to Brennan's belly in the cutest baby voice you will ever hear... and yet, they're still "Booth and Bones". They still solve murders. They still bicker good-naturedly over everything under the sun. They banter. They get overprotective. They make mistakes- and own up to them after. They're like any new couple expecting a child. But are they normal? Far from it, because at its core, Bones is still the same show: a journey of love between two very different people... one a woman who views the world through utmost rationalism and who is still learning how to open her heart; the other a man who relies on instincts and gut feeling to do his job, and who lets faith and emotion drive his personal life. Both coming from traumatic pasts and both craving a new beginning ("New memories, new life", as Brennan aptly puts it in episode 1) for this new family they've created. And that unchanging dynamic, coupled with a deep satisfaction after six years of will-they won't-they, is what has made this season so very interesting!

That, and the other characters are still as charming and as "comedic gold" as ever. Hodgins and Angela's baby situation juxtaposes nicely with Booth and Brennan's (I'm eager to see Baby Michael and Baby Girl Brennan-Booth growing up together), Cam struggles with keeping the workplace professional, there's a new intern, a new recurring villain, and other familiar faces return! Plus, I have it on good word that the birth of Booth and Brennan's baby WILL. BE. EPIC. Ahhhh!

So yeah. It's funny. It's emotional. It's unexpected. I highly recommend season 7 of Bones! (There's no such thing as a 'Moonlighting Curse'! Bones has proven it WRONG! :D)

What can I say? If you are a fan of Bones on TV, here are are past seasons, available for veiwing at your leisure. Knowing how the characters' lives have progressed, it is fun to go back and rewatch the early shows. And Sealy Booth is always enjoyable to look at! Zach, who no longer appears, having become involved with a canabalistic serial killer, is not in newer seasons, but those of us who loved him can still see him here.

Well, i cant see he's as good as bone thugz, but he is definitely reppin cleveland to the fullest. Some great tracks on here, well-produced, and hes got an original-sounding flow. This isn't necessarily a MUST-have, but it's worth coppin right quick

In many series, when the two lead characters finally give into a romance, it spells the end of the show (remember Moonlight, and Remington Steel?). This is NOT the case with Booth and Bones. Somehow their relationship adds to the series.

Perhaps this is because their relationship hasn't changed. They're still Bones and Booth. They haven't changed, and the writers don't play up the mushy stuff. The show is still about the crime solving; the relationship just makes it better. It's been fun to watch the emotional changes in Bones. It's good to see her laugh.

This series, and this season are excellent!

It could be a cheap shtick to have a "live" skeleton as part of your family, but Leigh Perry makes it work for me.  It's an easy suspension of belief.
Here we have the combination of teenage angst, with high school drama (literally and figuratively) and a skeleton who is learning to expand his abilities.  And timely those abilities are!
A murder with no evidence of its existence is just the start.
You have to love Sid's starring role at the curtain call of Hamlet.
All in all--good fun.

This album is alright if you are a true Bone fan. However, if you are new to Bone I would recommend E. 1999 Eternal instead.

Hoollywood Undead's first album is by far a great combination of rap and rock mixture that I found to rank up there with the hype of Linkin Park, Papa Roach first album, and the Limp Bizkit phase.  But this band actually has very talented MC'S and good song writting, just if your easily offended by bad language and there is plenty in this cd then don't buy it.  Though if you enjoy a rap and rock mixture of songs and almost all the songs are a blending of the rap rock mixture then you will enjoy it. Plus if your not easily offended then you also enjoy the style of hollywood undead.  I own all 3 of their cd's and listen to every song start to finish anytime I am in the mood for the style they offer their fans.

I first heard MS MR from the Season 3 trailer for Game of Thrones, they had the song Bones playing. I was immediately hooked and I knew I had to find out not only who this band is but to see what albums they have out.

Turns out this is their debut album so I think it is awesome that I find a new band that is new themselves and I get to listen to their first album.

I can't wait to find out what music they come up with in the future. Till then, I'm gonna enjoy playing and replaying this album.

Jeanine Frost is on almost everyone's paranormal To Read list, so I had to start on #0.5 Reckoning, essentially a short story introducing Bones, a central character to the series. There is no hot romance, however there is plenty of action, which is rather a page-turner. Bones is British, from some of his one-liners, and with his newly bleached hair, I can picture Spike, from Buffy, in my head - my absolute fave vamp character. Look forward to reading the series.

This was a pretty cool thing...but I would of thought it came with the bones but it doesnt. But still worth it

Such a cool idea to sell this, it is chilling but everyone has their own interpretation. my interpretation would be - " the skeleton is the foundation which carries the flesh of the body"
