I purchuased the album yestarday, and I am already seeing my thought process change a little. Some may say that allowing a cd to change how you think makes one very impresionable, well it doesn't happen often but it did with this one. When MC's treat hip hop as an art form, they really can influence the lives of others in a positive way. When that message their tyring to send out hits and you realize that you feel the same way but haven't yet been able verbilze those feelings, it allows your mind to expand. I love music that makes you think, and this album did that for me.  Think postively and enjoy those around you, which is easy to do when your driving with the windows down, past swaying palm trees with the gift of gab all up in your ear but for now, i gotta go back to work cause this was just a thought from the office.

I'm not drawn to romantic comedy as a genre but this is engaging and often delightful.  And the music references are spot on

Quite unusual this Living Color Band.  Many elements ranging from heavy metal to soul to hip hop.  There are many great moments on hear and these musicians are quite creative if a bit noisy in spots.  Corey Glover sure can sing and the bass playing is quite captivating on such tracks as Undercover of Darkness, Solace of You, and the humorous Love Rears Its Ugly Head.  Heck that later track is just ultra cool.
A few tracks(Information Overload, Time's Up, New Jack Theme) are overly loud.  But the band does have balance in their approach and the good is indeed very good.  And  very passionate too.  Therefore, I'll push the rating to four stars.

Yes, it's a silly affair, but it is also extremely entertaining.  Well worth watching and a welcome break from most of the dark brooding programs we see or humor films and try-too-hard TV series that are often disappointing.

Times Like This is good CD, it has a loose and sometimes sloppy feel to it but it's fun. This is not unusual for a former member of The Replacements. Over all it is good time music for everyone. Enjoy..

The year is 1999 and hardcore still isn't that big, (or as big as it has gotten now) theres a surge of music coming but no one realizes yet. Enter the last Overcome album. Immortal was an amazing album, it still holds a lot of meaning for me as well as a host of others who grew up on the 90s hardcore, and more specifically christian hardcore. Shortly after the cd spun its thousandth spin, we hear Overcome broke up and then came Indwelling, a hardcore/deathy grind hybrid remnant of what was overcome. Good in its own right, but twas not Overcome. Then the silence...... Now onward to The Great Campaign. Its good, really good. If your new to Overcome your in for a little different metalcore, not the breed that has sustained the few masses the past few years, but the kind that started the cross over. This album is very fast paced, like the last couple albums from Overcome the beats are there, but this time it seems to be in a different way. The songs are fresh and inviting, but do bring back that Overcome nuance. The vocals are low, which isn't anything new for the genre, but for Overcome it is. the vocals of old were a bit higher than normal, not screechy, but pitched at a scream rather than a growl. There are some remains of Indwelling, the deathcore sound is there, not overly used, but still there. A couple tracks from the Life of Death ep resurface Amnesty and Lifting the Weak and sound quite a bit different. If your an old fan, youll love it, but if you new to Overcome its worth the money. Something new to metalcore, a fresh breath in an otherwise dull genre at this moment. I give it a 5 because well I love this band, but it does deserve a 8.5 out of ten. Its a different Overcome, Id say even a new band, doing it the way an old band would. For fans of Sleeping Giant, Since The Flood......just buy it youll like it

Dirtie Blonde, quite honestly, isn't the best thing I've heard lately. However, they sound like they're having a lot of fun throughout the duration and Amie is possibly one of the cockiest frontwomen I've heard since Karen O of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs. Cocky isn't a bad thing when describing either singer either. Amie just seems so sure of her voice that she's not afraid to experiment, which no doubt equals a better overall feel. Having given the due praise, I do have to admit that Dirtie Blonde could stand to work on more original melodies and better lyricism. Of course this could go hand in hand with the 'fun' attribute this CD has going for it though.

At the risk of comparing, I have to. Dirtie Blonde, much like The Sounds, know when to rock out and have a good time as seen in songs like Walk Over Me, Hard Times, and even What You Want. However, they also know how and when to slow things down a bit as seen in Officially In Love, Bend Over, and My Pride. The one thing that truly bothers me about Dirtie Blonde, though, is the fact that they are, at points, much too poppy. Pop is fine and dandy but if you have four other members (guy members at that) you're promoting you should at least have some harder moments that make use of a full band. That's not the case.

The opening track, Walk Over Me, serves as the perfect introduction to DB's type of music. Officially In Love is kinda lame but I can't help but like Amie's vocals throughout. Bend Over has the sing-along feel going strong for it, especially in the chorus. Karma Boy has a bit of a bluesy attribute to it through the verses which turns to a downplayed pop/rock chorus. What You Want and Shut Up act as the album's two best tracks. What You Want is a chorus driven song that serves Amie's vocals amazingly. Shut Up starts off as a ballad but has a lyrically biting chorus where Amie's voice sounds terrific again. Stay is, aptly, a slower song that rounds out the CD nicely. Stay is more of a vocally driven song but the band, as simple as the melodies seem to be, sound excellent.

My favorite songs are Bend Over, Karma Boy, What You Want, Shut Up, and Stay. Dirtie Blonde has a ton of potential. This self-titled affair is far from perfect yet it's still a fun CD to listen to on occassion. They're currently on tour so hopefully they're generating a good fanbase cause I'd really like to see them make another CD. As for this one, despite all its imperfections, it's worth the money. Be forwarned though, Amie knows what she's capable of vocally so if you can't stand a girl who refuses to sound like every other female fronted pop/rock band, then avoid this at all costs. If you don't mind though, by all means, pick this up.

Let me explain one thing, if your expecting "Calculating Infinity" or "Irony Is A Dead Scene". Don't. It's actually is more like "Miss Machine" but with Unretofied/Phone Home dripping in the vains of DEP witch is not really a bad thing. As a matter of fact, it improves thier artestry as a band more. Now don't let some naysayers tell you different. This is a good album. And if you are someone who is open for some changes within the band on this album. Then enjoy.

One of the benefits to some singles IMO are the alternative takes.  While it can be risky hearing or seeing a song altered so much from the original, sometimes as a listener I think you can benefit as well from a different perspective.  Nicola Conte's fantastic at remixes because through the years he's added a distinct, classy touch to the songs.  Same with Senor Coconut.  When I see those two, you know to expect quality.  And on this Jiva remix, you've got

Maybe those names aren't here, but you have that level of quality.  Jiva's "Love Chooses Lovers" is still IMO their best song to date - it's breezy, light and just so underrated by the mainstream.  Rarely do remixes eclipse the originals (with the exception of trance/dance genre), but the innovative two takes found here are terrific.  The Heart Chakra mix, a play on one of the verses as well, has a nice 'soul' batucada feel to it which funnily enough is very easy to cross-fade into just about any song if you wanted.  But even on it's own, it's quite nice.  But there's something really special about the Soul Sessions remix of the cut.  It's incredibly nostalgic with a real magical mid-70's - early 80's ambiance to it.  Great wavy keyboard and well placed samples, I've listened to it for a few years now and maybe that ambiance makes the song timeless.  This particular remix to "I Realized" is also one of the better ones.  Also heard on Khari Simmon's "Soul Com Bossa" import from Japan, it's slowed down a bit and given an easy going mood.

This is a great single.  I'm a big fan of Jiva and their approach to making music.  Khari's a terrific young producer with vision and hopefully he keeps pushing forward and releasing new tunes.  Check this one out if you haven't heard them already.  And if you have listened to this, and are familiar with Jiva, check out Khari's work with Julie Dexter as well.

You can enjoy it and it does wonders for you.

It seems as if the Stones' early albums each gradually altered a sound or a technique and this album doesn't let down. Either be it the incorporation of a new guitarist or the different insruments, Let It Bleed is innovative and sounds fresh.

First off, let me explain what I mean by "not for all occasions". By that I mean that it's an album that I can listen to at any time, in any mood and/or in any place. I can listen to the Puppini Sisters in most of my moods, but sometimes their music just doesn't fit my moods.

That's not to say that this album isn't terrific. It is. Covering both older songs such as "Sway", "Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy" as well as newer songs such as "Panic" & "Wuthering Heights" (ok, this one's from the 70s), this album gives a nice variety of songs to listen to. My particular favorite at the moment is "Wuthering Heights"- it's not exactly the same as the Kate Bush song (I listened to the Puppinis cover first) but it's still fun. Their rendition of "I Will Survive" takes a little getting used to, I must admit. It's not a bad cover, but I've never ever considered hearing that feminist ballad set to 40s era music. It works, but it may alienate some people just by the sheer different-ness of it. (And if you think that's a strange song to listen to you should hear some of their covers on their other album "The Rise & Fall of Ruby Woo".)

Even with the `strange' versions of recent rock songs, the album is still a joy to listen to. It just isn't something that fits all of my moods all of the time. I would like to hear the Puppini Sisters sing more of their own original songs (something they do on "Ruby Woo"). Their covers are fantastic & they bring their own style to them, but it's still not their own words. I've heard rumors that they're trying to bring more of their own songs to their future albums, so hopefully we'll get to hear more of their talent in the future. In the meantime though, if you're a fan of swing & 40s era music, pick this album up & give it a listen. Odds are that you'll be glad that you did.

I liked it and it's something I could recommend to anyone looking for something different. This band won battle of the bands and after hearing them I could understand why. good stuff.

I was a kickstarter backer, so I bought into the idea and then waited for the delayed gratification of finally experiencing it. That being said, it delivers on the idea with simplicity as well as complexity. I think they've taken something perhaps unremarkable and turned it into an idea space, or a field of opportunity. I really think the product itself is art; it poses interesting questions about music and the acoustic resonance of the earth itself. It's really not just a toy. It also isn't exactly an expert musician's tool right out of the box. It takes some time and thought to come up with what you want to do with it, that's half the fun. It also sounds great.

Like many, I first heard of this band thanks to The Colbert Report. After listening to a few songs on YouTube I was hooked. There is a good variation of music style, so you don't get bored with the same songe played 13 different times on one album.

Give it a listen, and if you like what you hear it is well worth purchasing.
