Not The Best of the Group

If you're starved for a Keller story this is OK.
It certainly is not one of Block's best efforts. The story is a bit contrived
but the dialogue holds up well.

This cd is not as good as their EP. Really not much else to say- they have sort of ruined their sound. It's not bad, but not great.

This CD contains some maturation of the band, but it lacks the ingenuity  of earlier DMB cd's.  Songs like "crush" and "Dont drink the  water" have the make the listener want to listen over and over while  the others leave us wondering, "what happened to the band that we all  know and love??".If you are a diehard fan of DMB, i don't recommend  this CD for you!!

It all started for me with the Kingston Trio. I find now that revisiting the Bros 4, it's like listening to 4 Pat Boones and that's about as bland as it gets. Sort if good to hear them again however it's still the KT by daylight from all other such groups.

I love this band. I have been a fan since the beginning of their amazing run. I am not in love with this release. I would definitely rank it as one of their worst in the modern era. The title song Test For Echo is very very good. Unfortunately it goes downhill from there. Not to mention the sound quality of this cd is not as good as weve come to expect from this exceptional band. Someone starting to listen to Rush, i would recommend getting Grace Under Pressure, Counterparts and Snakes and Arrows for "modern" Rush and of course Hemispheres,2112 and Farewell to Kings for older Rush for a good mix. Again, TFE is not one of their best.

This TMBG album has some wide and glaring weak spots.  It is certainly not the peak of their career, but there are still moments of genius, as in "I Palindrome I", "The Statue Got Me High", and even "Mammal."
Skip this one if it's your first purchase, though, and get "Flood" instead.  It can be rather hard to digest in places.

Not quite as good as the others but a good prelude to the guys new books.  It just didn't come together like the others. As for turning them over to the authorities hmm a little unbelievable oh well can't wait for the boys story.  A little tired of Charles being such a wimp he deserves better.

Expected A LOT more from these guys seeing as this cd is about 10 years in the making. Their last 2 albus were great but this falls short. Most sound the same with most songs being played in the 5th and 7th position. If they made one cds worth of music it probably would have been better.

This was my least favorite of the series.  It just wasn't as much fun to read as the others.

This book is not as good as some of the others. It wasn't a very exciting read. Work harder next time. Look forward to a better 25

Not as good as their first. With a talented trio of this kind I expected to hear music that didn't sound like it was "rushed" in production. Oblivion, Captain Love,and Hot Streak stand out on this effort while everything else seems to pale..and remember folks it's just my opinion. I've given this CD a good listen since receiving it and it just doesn't have the elements that made it's predecessor such a standout disc.

I bought this album based on an advertisement I heard on the radio for it, because I love The Band, and I'm a pretty big fan of many of the artists on this album. The album was a bit of a let-down, though. The artists featured on the album do a good enough job with their chosen songs, but I haven't found any of these artists' renditions to be nearly as good as the originals. The Band was truly a collection of musical geniuses, and it's just hard to top their versions.

I've read several in the Neighbors from Hell series. This one wasn't as good as some of the others. I didn't connect with this couple at all. I will still read any new ones since I have really like others.

These guys are one of my favorite bands of all time and they haven't disappointed, this just wasn't as good of a CD as their older stuff.

This album, the last of the group for Warner Bros., was an effort that lacked the voice of Russ Giguere, who had left the group in 1970. The album featured Richard Thompson as Giguere's replacement, and the entire project suffered from spotty song writing and musical arrangements that lacked focus and direction. The best songs on this album are Ted Bluechel's "Bring Yourself Home" and a song penned by Jimmy Webb entitled "P.F. Sloane" that enjoyed some air play on local radio markets in the Midwest. Otherwise, the album is pretty mediocre, with the songs written by Terry Kirkman, the groups best writer of song hits, being particular disappointments on this album.

Definitely not my favorite Pink Martini album. Disappointed in fact. They are so extraordinary I was looking forward to their usual exciting interpretations, but this wasn't doing it for me personally.

While I was very anxious to get the latest CD from Hez and LFC, I must say that it did not live up to my expectations.  The music felt like an attempt to stay relevant with some of the other gospel artists, Ty Tribett-Kirk Franklin-Ricky Dillard, but did not meet the mark.  The soloists were good, but did not have the quality that I have come accustomed to from LFC.  I give this album the benefit of the doubt, but if Hezekiah is really trying to keep choirs alive, he will have to do a much better job the next time out.
