The best so far and maybe even the best period

I have had other internet radios but this one is the best. It's really, really good. I wish it had an iPod/Phone connector but you can hook it up through an external input and included cable. It accepts Sirius but not XM even though they have merged. Other than that, it's perfect. The sound is very good for a table radio. While better exemplars may come along, it probably will be a while. This is a keeper!

I found Season 3 of Mad Men to be the best of all.  It is simply remarkable in its ability to catch the nature of the times, but also be faithful to development of the characters.  Jon Hamm is great as Draper, and the rest of the cast is equally as good.  The ending of this season was fantastic, and opens the door for some new plot lines next year.
I missed the first three years, and luckily could obtain the DVDs.  I will not miss season 4 this summer.

The present formation (Steele, Katz, Reid and McCusker) is perhaps the best of this long time band. The members feel comfortable with the others and that can be seen perfectly in the different types of tunes they play.  Here you will find that you have four composers, each one with it's own  style, and that the four integrate their tunes in a one major structure,  that is the whole album. Leaving Friday Harbor is at times calm  ("Logie O'Buchan" is a good example) and at others is quite  powerful (like "Clan Coco") like they have always done but with  more assurance than ever. Defenetly a great cd. Buy it. You will not be  dissapointed.

Normally I tend to write longer reviews than I intend to write. For this...look, if you're looking at whether season 5 is good or not, then you're already hooked and you'll watch it anyway.

Basically, this season's arc is the how-we-got-here for season 6, which is all sorts of crazy-awesome. Best scenes I can recall (after some delicious post-work beers) include two key scenes -- Tyrion and Daenerys have a face-to-face civil chat that is actually a chess game for survival and dominance -- and the last episode with Jon Snow (just watch it).

The White Walkers army of doom, the High Sparrow (Jonathan Pryce!), the Walk of Attonement...lots of good in this season that really is a set-up for the next season.

Grayceon has been a leader in what I think of as the "Post Metal Plus" group of bands that includes Giant Squid and Intronaut. Led by vocalist / cellist Jackie Perez Gratz, this trio blends classical, sludge, prog, and lots of intelligence into a truly artistic piece of metal. Unlike most females fronting metal, Perez is not mere eye candy for the mostly male audience. She is an equal, if not primary, musical brain behind the project. Her cello is an intricate part of the music, and her voice has improved substantially on this album to the point that it really is the focal point.

The music employs multiple speeds, atmospheres, and musical ideas that I never get bored and in fact I'm ready to play it again when the gentle closer ends. At the same time, there are plenty of true head-banging parts and the heavy riffs are deep and powerful. The early preview "Shellmounds" is probably the best track, but the epic "We Can" is also great. The whole album has a great sense of pacing, and to me represents what is truly progressive in the metal scene in 2011.

The first thing that struck me when I heard Wavering Radiant is the production. Its awesome. Thick, meaty,layered and atmospheric. All the instruments seem to shine out. The bass has a solid presence and the keyboards add a whole new dimension to the music. Aarons voice has never sounded better and his clean singing really brings out the emotions quite well. The intro to Ghost Key is astounding. The bass literally swims in your head. Listen to it on headphones and you will know what I am talking about.

Now for the actual music itself, lets just say that Isis are very close to perfecting the formula they had on Panopticon and Oceanic. If you like those albums, you will like this one too. There is not a single weak song on this album. The short instrumental 'Wavering Radiant' serves as a small but psychadelic interval before things kick off again. Overall, there seems to be an additional touch of emotion on this album, much more so than their earlier efforts. Not that Oceanic, Panopticon or ITAOT were devoid of emotion, but they have seemed to reach a totally new level here. Coupled with the awesome production, we might have 'album of the year' here.

This is the best edition in a long time. As far as the formatting and presentation, it's the best edition ever.

The BP Annual has undergone significant changes since Sam Miller and Jason W. took over a few years ago as they seem to be responding to and assimilating feedback from the passionate cult-following this book has. Now they've released their finest book yet. The player comments seem meatier than ever, filled with insightful takes informed by both analytics and scouting. The wit and snappy prose we've come to love is still here and it makes for a very entertaining reading experience.

In the past I've had mixed feelings about them bringing in 30 different outside writers to do the team essays (another change wrought by editors Sam and Jason) and I'm still not crazy about it but this year's edition has very few essays that miss their mark. Many of them are absolutely fantastic, either for their beautiful prose or sharp insights or both.

For the first time ever they've added in every team's logo, a diagram of every team's ballpark and added in some other stats and charts that help provide an accurate snapshot of a team. The formatting is terrific, even the small nuances like starting each team chapter on the recto page. There are lots of other upgrades that I thought were long overdue and which really enhance this great text.

This is the BP Annual fans want.

And as far as 2016 Baseball publications, nothing even comes CLOSE to this. It's a tour de force that every serious seamhead needs to have in their hands.

Just finished reading ST:ENT: The Romulan War.  This is an outstanding addition to the ongoing relaunch series begun several years ago, possibly the best of the group so far.  The Romulan War covers the first year of the iconic Romulan War from the Start Trek universe.  Epic in its scope, the book had almost a John Jakes or Herman Wouk-type feel, kind of a future history done as historical fiction.  I strongly recommend this to anyone who would appreciate the possible future direction of the series, had it continued.

maybe the best (forgetting The bends). If you have listened to any song of  them and you have enjoyed it, i'm sure you will love this album. From the  first song BELIEVE (one of the best songs that i have listened in a long  time, it hookes you from the first time you listen to it) to the last one  WINNERS a precious one. It's a cd very complete, it has pop songs like  Believe or Butterfflies instead, it also has rock songs like HIde (this one  is great) or Cocoon crash and it has ballads too like "In your  room" (here you can hear perfectly the special and warm voice of  Sarah) "Winners" , 20000 seconds (cool). For me this is their  best cd.

This is the fourth book of the series, and in my view, it is the best yet.  To me it looks like Mr. Pearson took the plotting of this book very seriously, not allowing it to become overburdened with details and keeping the story moving (my criticisms of the third book) and kept it consistent and sensible (my criticism of the first book).  (I liked the second quite a bit; I thought that was well done.)

In this story, it seems like the Keepers themselves are being compromised in some way, and when they discover that a couple of new evil Overtakers have taken over the leadership of that group, they learn why:  the Evil Queen (from Snow White) can cast spells.  And the OT's can now access the DHI servers and can become DHI's themselves.  And they have a plan, and the Keepers are having trouble ascertaining exactly what they're trying to do.  The OT's are keeping the Keepers off balance with recruits from their high school and with continual wrenches thrown into their best efforts to guard the Kingdom.

The story takes a logical and welcome step forward with the addition of the "good" Disney characters, who will hopefully play a major role in the next book (which has been out in hardcover for some time now), and I look forward to reading further in the series.  I've known that Mr. Pearson is a very good writer from reading a few of his adult novels, and was waiting for that talent to manifest in this young adult series.  It has done so in this book, I feel.

I'd say that Season Three has been the best yet.  The acting in this series is amazing - A GREAT CAST.

Dang.  This manga is just too darn awesome.  Imagine when the first season of Shingeki ended and there was no follow up, in fact it took more than 3 years to get a second season.  It more than validates my decision to pick up the manga to get the continuing story because it has just gotten better and better.  I thought volume 20, so full of epic battles, was great, but this volume in many ways was even better. And there really wasn't any major fighting in this one.  The drama was purely emotional as our heroes are presented with an impossible moral choice which was a brilliant twist on the part of Isayama.  The last chapter of this volume was also interesting in that it brings to mind some allusions to history and literature.  Just off the top of my head, I saw parallels to Nazi Germany, the Soviet Union, the Chinese Civil War, and even a little bit of Lord of the Rings. Isayama does this but in such a way that you don't think of it as being too obvious.  It just goes to show that while individually, our heroes may be good guys, you can't really be sure that the overall cause they're fighting for is a just one.  Who's wrong and who's right?  The revelations in this volume added a layer of moral ambiguity to this manga that I thought was awesome.

Overall, this long awaited season set, is awesome!

The picture quality is 8 out of 10 (as an owner of a big TV screen I can't complain) bearing in mind the age of the series. Colors are also well transferred-there are no fading edges. As the first season was a training field for the crew and colors were not driven to perfection yet as in following seasons two and three, one can only imagine how impressive later episodes must look on DVD.

The sound is good although it's of course remixed 5.1 and does not fully match the latest 5.1 movie releases on DVD.

The menus including the short episode summaries are not perfect but satisfying and much better than those of other TV series (come on, who bought this set for the menus?).

Now, the few minor flaws: apart from the thin bonuses (that are too short and mostly stock footage or old news for real fans), the double sided discs are annoying. Not only that they are more problem-prone than usual one sided discs, you have also check back with the cover all the time to see where a specific episode can be found. 6 one sided discs with a nice design and the episode titles on the surface would have been better and would have left more data storage per episode. In some episodes, camera sweeps are a bit jerky sometimes. That may be a result of the fully crammed discs. Bottom line: my expectations (I'm hardcore fan and episode master of the German VICE fan site) have been met fully. If the other seasons come out with the same quality, I'm gonna be the first to buy gladly.

So far I've listened to the album maybe half a dozen times. I can tell already, that it is far superior to the previous two efforts of the band. While I don't think it's quite up to the level of the band's best albums (but then again, those are pretty high standards we're talking about!), it's definitely a very very big step up. I don't think there's a single song on this album that I don't enjoy.

To overlap two different periods and make it work so well is a marvelous achievement. Absolutely wonderful.

If we forget the brutal clif hunger at the last page this is the best so far in the series.

PBS has gifted us with some marvelous programing from England but this one, is for me, the best of them all. The changes shown as the years progress, the finely drawn characters are wonderful.

I've bought some very good programs from Amazon but none have been as enjoyable as this one. I love every episode and look forward to the next one with great anticipation.
