Absolutely Fanatastic

The only thing that bothers me about Lyle's CD's are that they are too long in-between.  This is an absolutely great CD.  All the songs seem to flow one into the next, telling a story.  It's pretty obvious that Lyle dug  deep within himself for this CD.  The acoustic piano is great by itself,  but the added orchestrations put this CD over the top.  Highly  recommended!

Just ridiculous in its uniqueness and genius. It is world building that is unbelievable in its believability. It is characterization at its best. Truly amazing characters. It is brutal and extremely sweet at the same time. And it is funny as hell. All this inside a story that is crafted by a genius. I cried when Milar told Tatiana to not let his brother get captured. I have never cried from reading, and I rarely cry from movies/tv. It was torture to put this book down and I literally did not sleep. But in all its greatness, what I loved most about this writing was the complete and inherent non-stereotyping of gender. I have never come across such writing before.

I never realised how much Grim Fandango had taken over my life in the short space of time that I had been playing it until I came to uninstall it a bit ago...  The short Mexican guitar trill brought back all of those  memories...
At first I wasn't sure whether or not to buy Grim.  It had  good reviews, nice packaging, but sounded a little silly...thank god I did  in the end.  Even my sister enjoyed playing it, and she doesn't like  Adventure games! With beautifully rendered back drops, cut scenes which  will leave you drooling, real-time characters who really seem alive (!) and  a wonderful change of atmosphere for every year, Grim Fandango is a peak of  pure pleasure. If you half want to buy this but aren't sure, I will promise  you now that you WON'T be disappointed! Oh, and the game seems to last for  ever, as well, and the story line run up to the end will have you on the  edge of your seat until the shocking climax shoot out!

I suppose I'm preaching to the choir.  This release absolutely blows everything out of the water that I've heard in a long, long time for a pure blistering rock'n'roll sonic assault.

If you like big, fuzzy guitars with a truly gifted guitarists and rhythm section that meshes beautifully and doesn't back down from the monster riffs, you'll love this CD.  The band truly fires on all cylinders.  I am reminded a bit of The Who in concert in that there is so much going on, so often.

Signature tracks...

Been There All The Time (gotta love the solos and the active drums)

This Is All I Came To Do (amazing intro)

I don't there's another band who could have made this record.

This comforter set is fan-freaking-tastic!  I absolutely adore it.  It's not your run-of-the-mill comforter, it's light and airy, which helps with keeping warm to be sure!  The picture doesn't do it justice, the pink is vibrant and the black flocking is a stark contrast, making it pop in any color you have your room done up in.  My walls are painted a bright turquoise and this pink and black really looks amazing against that!  The set comes with three throw-pillows, two black and one pink and black; two absolutely gorgeous shams, the comforter and a black bedskirt.  The pink is almost like a soft taffeta but not stiff at all.  I have several cats and their jumping onto the bed has not made any pulls to the material at all, it's nice and strong. I just can't say enough good things about this set, nor can I sing the praises of ELD loudly enough, either!  ELD has friendly, prompt people who are willing to help in any way, making any contact with them a pleasure.

When I first heard track 4, "Antioxidant", one night on the radio (of all places), it was such a complete assault on all senses that I had to immediately order the CD. Since the moment I received it I have played the crap out of it from front to back on a daily basis. There is not a moment of weakness on this album....absolutely worth every penny...I may get another copy it's that good. Now quit reading this and go get it.

I am awestruck by this book!  Absolutely the most enjoyment I have had from a book in a long while.....and I'm an avid reader.

This is an incredible album and for the uninitiated an incredible, mind-blowing find. This band is the real deal. I spent many a happy late night grooving to this collection. Play the sample of The Message and you, too will no doubt be enthralled. What a thrill to find it on cd. To all those naysayers who think this re-issue isn't up to snuff I say boo! Go rain on someone else's parade.

Fang Island are perhaps the only band that could live up to the self-described sound of "everyone high-fiving everyone."  Their music makes you feel nothing short of exuberant.  Beginning and ending with the sound of fireworks, Fang Island's self titled is a masterpiece comprised of 10 triumphantly beautiful, anthemic songs, generally comprised of three lead guitarists attacking you with sweeping melodic harmonies like fighter jets with the interspersed collective exalting of lyrical motifs by every member of the band.  I just want to listen to this record over and over and over.  It's my favorite album of the year so far, and I am confident that no band will surpass it.

There isn't a single song on this entire CD that I don't know the words to, forwards and backwards.
That might lead you to think I'm a freak, and you might be right. But it leads me to believe that BF5 has once again pressed out another masterpiece.
This CD has something for every moment,  every mood, every subtle feeling. From the kicka$$ "One Angry  Dwarf..." to "Song for the Dumped", through "Kate"  ... every piano pounding moment is sheerly listenable and completely  unforgettable.
This album has been completely tattooed on my brain. I  probably could have used the brain cells for something more useful, but  until then I'm going to happily sing "Battle of Who Could Care  Less"...

Experience the beauty of the world in only 50 short minutes.

The pure passion and attention to craft is astounding. Absolutely wonderful listening experience. Katica, I'm going to need your discography, because this is just awe-inspiring. Incredible emotion, quality, and love put in every track.

5/5, Flawless listening!

Having had the chance to play a beta copy of this game, I can say that it is going to blow the roof off of every other damn racing game on the market.  The AI is true to life, the visuals are simply stunning and the gameplay is smooth and fun.  Not only that, the Mad Scientists at EA have designed almost a dozen fantasy courses that'll really tweak your moustache, or whatever facial hair you might have.

This game is incredible.  I am amazed at how much fun this is.  The game play, control, and plot are well thought out and engaging.  The really joy here is just the unabashed love of bashing. The PS2 graphics are not as good as the XBOX version, but still very enjoyable, and almost irrelevant as the game itself is so much fun. It's also great stress relief for 30 somethings...best game I've played in years.

What a fantasticly fun album. I can't help singing along to it whenever it's playing. The idea of parodying classic video game characters like this is so creative and the music Egoraptor and Ninja Sex Party made from that idea blows my mind. It's just such funny, happy music. Give it a try.

I took a risk and purchased a Surreal CD...and it truly is sublime. Surreal's magic is that their writing sounds at once familiar and at the same time, unlike anything you've ever  heard. Lyrics and melodies spring  forth from singer Alan Semerdjian like a sparkling primal  spring. (I  should know, I walk around singing them for days!) The drummer and bassist  provide a bubbling, massaging undercurrent to this and the lead guitarist  sprinkles abundant firefly melodies throughout. On their website I learned  that they have been playing together since high school and it shows. They  have really forged something exciting and special.

As someone attempting to break into the crazy and cool world of Neil Gaiman, this seemed like the logical next step after reading "American Gods" last year (my introduction). To clarify, I knew pretty much nothing about this series starting it, and as of the time of this writing, the first volume is all I've read. Already I can feel this huge, majestic world being unveiled. The artwork is, to put it lightly, astounding. I particularly recommend the remastered edition for newbies because of the depth it adds (based on the few bits of the original artwork I've seen, though I'm not trying to bash it). The drawings, story and characters all seem to leap off the pages and I can't wait to read more.

Fanfreakingtastic. Insanely satisfying headphones. They made me feel smart buying them. I will be turning my friends on to these.
