Crazy NOT to get this new album...
935054
Instead of just playing it safe with one similar type of music all the time, this album notes a continuation of Candy Dulfer evolving her talents and bringing new ideas to her brand of music.  After long time collaborations with Thomas Bonk, Candy went to Printz Board[of Black Eyed Peas fame] and has created a newer sound, bringing in some new reggae[Hey Now], funk[Electric Blue], and dance tunes[Crazy, Complic8ted Lives].  Those old school fans will be happy as well, as she does have collaborations with Ulco Bed on some new jazz and instumental tunes[No End, Too Close], as well as a funky tune with Chance Howard[Please Don't Stop].  This album does have something for almost everyone that should keep Candy's loyal fans happy as well as bringing in some new fans as well.

I'll make this review short and sweet.  I am a HUGE fan of the Weeze and I appreciate all of there work from the blue album to even maladroit but this album is un tolerable.  As far as I'm concerned this album never was made.  Maybe its because I was expecting another Maladroit which was by far there best work they put out in awhile.  As one critic best said it "its one of those bad albums a band puts out" "and this is one of them".  I'm sorry but as catchy as Beverly Hills is I hate that song maybe if they left it out the album I'd love it but I can't stand it.  Just stick with there first four albums for now and completely skip this one you'll be glad you did.  I am really hoping there new red album will be a step in the right direction for the Weeze and not another disappointment like this album was.

This album is so bad it's beyond words. Honest to God, being an avid fan of there Definitely Maybe and Morning Glory albums, I tried as hard as I could to accept this new release, but I simply couldn't force myself to listen to it more than twice. It is horrid & pathetic, and obviously, these lads from Manchester should quit while they further tarnish their jaded reputation.

I have the entire collection of the WOW Gospel albums, and let me tell you, it is getting worse every time. This album was a complete desapointment, I really wish I did not buy it... I don't know who makes the songs selection, but this time they did not chose well. I decided not to buy the 2003 album either, a friend of mine told me it is just as bad as this one. C'mon, this is supossed to be THE BEST GOSPEL of the year??????

I usually love Alison Krauss and Union Station, but not this album. Not ONE song on this album I enjoy...very odd. Don't waste your money. Get some of her or her and Union Station's earlier releases. Maybe they are coasting right now...smile.

Here I am listening to this new Morningwood CD I purchased via the Amazon MP3 download service, and right in the middle of the 4th song, it BLEEPS OUT!!!! [...]

Amazon, I didn't pay [...] for you to mutilate my music. I'm pissed. I want to be warned before I slap down my money.

If censorship pisses you (the buyer) off as much as it does me, then you'll have to avoid this download. That's to bad because it's a pretty good album otherwise.

I purchase at least a few records a week and have done so for the last couple decades. I listen to a wide range of genres and have quite eclectic taste in music... I can listen to almost anything, so bare in mind it takes alot for me to say I don't like something. I knew this CD was coming out so excitedly I went and picked it up at the local record store on the release date. That night I donned my headphones and prepared myself for a nice relaxing musical experience. Much to my dismay this new Blackfield record was not soothing at all, it actually made me anxious because it is so awkward. I kept listening, hoping it would get better, but song after song there was more of the same terrible sounds recycled over and over throughout the whole record. Very disappointed in this release. I want my money back, what a waste! Stay away from this one.

Please, as a true Gn'R fan, I plead with other Gn'R fans not to buy this album for the simple reason I would ask people not to buy the Aerosmith Greatest hits (the first one with the editted version of "Sweet Emotion"), because the band has NOTHING TO DO WITH IT!!!  In a strange way this album brought together the original members of Gn'R and they collaborated on something, as well: a lawsuit to try and keep this best of from being released.  Yes, they are probably getting (a lot) of money for this, but this has nothing to do with the band.  This is a ploy by the record company to milk this cash cow to the bitter end.  Now, some might say "hey, wouldn't this help turn on some new fans to this band?"  And I would slap them and say "No.", and they would cry.  'Appetite' is where to go.  You don't need a best of.  For any people thinking of trying out Gn'R, go there.  For any true Gn'R fan who might want to get this to get a collection of Gn'R music, you can't save up and buy 3 albums?  Hell, just get 'appetite' and 'uyi I' and you've got most of the best.  Really, it's not worth the money to get this, it's just a marketing ploy.

Really, if you're a big Gn'R fan, you don't need this.  It's not like it's Aerosmith here, they only have 4 albums out with original material, a covers album (don't bother with it, though), and a live album.  Not that much.  and for anyone interrested with trying out Gn'R, listen to 'Appetite', if you don't like it, that's pretty much their best of right there.

I really tried to give Geoff the benefit of the doubt, but I'm sorry, this album is horrible.  I've listened to it 10 times today, trying to like it.  I was even excited about the re-recordings, but sadly, his voice is going.  Jet City Woman was horribly remade.  Several times in the song, he goes off key and it made me shudder, like listening to a bad karaoke singer.  I'm very sad to hear this.  The songs sound like a hate letter to the rest of the original band that has their album coming out soon.  Even the rings on the fist on the album cover say it all.  I'm sure he wanted to use the other word instead of Frequency.  In fact, this sounded like it was thrown together to get it on the shelf to spite them.  We all know the back story of what's happened, we all know that these kind of things happen in the music world, but this whole story just makes me sad.  I'll still always admire the old Queensryche and probably like the new singer as well, but not this release.  I'd even qualify this as worse than Q2K.

On last note about the remake of Silent Lucidity, it sounds like Katherine Hepburn singing it.

Buy it if you want folks, but I can't listen to it anymore.

You're not going to believe this!  I just bought this vinyl album from Amazon, brand new, and Side B is, for heaven's sake, a live recording of Johnny Winter!

Sides A, C, and D are exactly what they are supposed to be.  But Side B, for God's sake, is has absolutely nothing to do with the album I bought.  They are the wrong recordings -- of the wrong band!

Many years ago, I owned a vinyl album of Johnny Winter and his band doing old rock and roll.  I can't say for sure that these are the same recordings (it has been a very long time), but I know that this is live Johnny Winter -- NOT Big Brother and the Holding Company.

I contacted Amazon and described this situation.  They offered to replace the album, and they offered to pay the postage for me to return the album I received.  I decided that it wasn't worth it -- for one thing, any new pressing I receive from them is likely to have exactly the same problem.  I recommended that they listen to the darned thing and decide whether to send out any more like it.

Remember -- if you buy this album, Side B may be a complete, astonishing, and unpleasant surprise!

I remember being a high school senior back in 1985, and listening to AFOS first two albums nearly nonstop. Then "Story of A Young Heart" came out, and although I didn't (initially) regard it as highly as the previous two discs, I gradually warmed to it and gave it a spot in my musical pantheon alongside A Flock's previous albums.

So obviously, I purchased "Dream Come True" when it was released and...was stunned by just how bad it was. I mean, how could their talent have deteriorated so rapidly between albums 3 and 4?  A lot of this, I think, had to do with the departure of guitarist Paul Reynolds - a very underrated player, in my opinion. At any rate, "Dream Come True" pretty much marked the end of AFOS. (Mike Score still performs - with an ever-changing lineup of musicians - as A Flock Of Seagulls, and I continue to hear rumors about a tour featuring some original members, but nothing concrete.)

Ultimately, I'm left with a question about the re-release of "Dream Come True": Why release this abomination while "Story Of A Young Heart" remains unavailable?

I've been a fan & have listened to their music since the early 90's. I got all copies of their studio releases but this is the worst to crash in to my collection. It seems the magic's gone...the vocal harmony & catchy guitar lines(how i wish i could play the axe that way!). For starters, I'd recommend "Puzzle" first because for me that's where my addiction to their music started.

To the "greatest roady trio", you got yourself a filipino fan...but my heart just sank on this latest release you had but still...more power to you guys!!!

I just bought this set, but I am anticipating it to be really good. will be great to have all of these songs in one set! However, I'm planning to program my cd player to ALWAYS skip track 18 on disc 4, "Dont' stand so close to me 86'". THIS
RE-DOING OF THE SONG IS AN ABOMINATION! Please, if you are a person of any musical taste, always avoid this song. Participtate in this ban!! I first heard this piece of trash when I bought the greatest hits record back in the 80's--I always wondered why they put this song on their instead of the original, which was far superior and without any need to be "re-done." Why did sting do this this? If I could break into the archives at A&M and erase the master, I certainly would--what a pleasure it would be!

If I could take away stars I would. I am outraged by this album who is this? I hear snippets of Monica's voice throughout but where is the R&B that she spoke of bringing back? I could not have stated it any better. I grew up listening to her as well her song titled "Never can say Goodbye" has been my favorite song since I was 13 years old and still is. I ordered this and literally checked the mail box everyday excited waiting on it to arrive. After the first three songs I said, "what is this" I honestly thought my satellite radio in the car was still playing song from a station and I hadn't switched over to CD. I am Deeply Sadden but I still love her voice and what I know she has the ability to do with it. The people that were writing the songs for her when she first starting singing needs to be contacted and pleaded with to write for her again. I understand that she is trying to capture a younger audience but I truly don't feel that this is the way, she is sacrificing the people that have been with her from the beginning. I am not a fake fan I have legally obtain every since one of her albums, no downloading or burning and I must say this is the worst one I have ever listened to.
