Not too impressed compared to his earlier stuff

I've always loved the Deadmau5 tracks I've heard and so I decided to pick up his latest album to give it a whirl and see how it is.  Compared to tracks like Faxing Berlin & Arguru, this album just doesn't hold water.

The opening track is decent, so I had high hopes for the rest of the album, but in reality the only other track I really liked was "Bad Selection" which I was actually really surprised how much I liked it.  That one definitely went on my favorites list, but the rest of it was just kind of bleh..

Maybe I was just being naive with Deadmau5, but I was hoping for something a little more trancey.  I do like the drum & bass type music that is prominent on the album, but this one just didn't do it for me.

Here's hoping you like it more than I did!

Not the Matisyahu I knew from before. No beat-boxing in this album there are only 2 or 3 songs that are really memorable. Everything else was kind of half-produced and sold on the basis that he has a name brand established. Even the lyrics were not as political or deep as I remember them being originally. I will be surprised if he makes another album after this, honestly.

Not typical of Junior.  His older stuff is much better.  I wouldn't order this again.

Have loved all of his other CD's. Found this rather boring. If you're a big fan of show tunes you might like it. Seems like he made this for himself and not his audience.

I have given Cardinology a few runs through and my first reaction to it has held firm -- this is simply not as good as Ryan Adams usual output. It could be the torrential pace of new material over the past few years is simply running out of steam. Either way, while in many ways more original than much of his previous work, Cardinology feels lacking in inspiration. Beyond the relative flatness of the songs, there is the reach for a pop hit in "Magick" -- at first blush the idea of a U2 riff with Ryan Adams lyrics should be pretty cool. Unfortunately, the lyrics are more Bryan than Ryan. Too bad.
My advice to folks who are not familiar with Ryan Adams is to go with "Gold" or "Easy Tiger." Or if you also like the Dead, go with "Cold Roses" which is a great disc with a heavy Grateful Dead influence. For those already familar with these works, you might still want Cardinology, but may end up doing what I have done which is put it aside and get back into those earlier releases.

I expected more since I loved his last CD, but it's still worth buying.  He's got such a great voice!  I just didn't care too much for his selection of songs this go around.  I hope it will grow on me.

I gave this album 3 stars out of five as i do not think it contains the creative input found in Joe's previous album releases.
There are a couple of good to very good tracks here, but generally content is dissapointng concidering how well publicised this album was.

It was ok....but not as good as some of his others.

This book is pretty much just quotations from his other books with very little new material. Quotations from books, especially your own, do not prove your points. I was disappointed by the lack of effort put into a book written by an author I respect greatly.

That being said, if you haven't read his other books, this one is a decent choice for a few more current issues, updated for the current times.

It's baffling to me that someone heard this and thought it should be released. After his first quite good solo disc, I really expected better. After all the ire and agony of the great Queensryche collapse of 2012, I expected better. In fact, I've been waiting his entire career for him to do a solo album where he just cuts loose and throws down some mind-blowing, jaw-dropping shit, but this ain't it. This is a collection of very average, somewhat yawn-inducing songs with a few odd and jarring lyrics here and there. The single is a good song. Nearly the rest of the entire album is filler.

I have all his albums and I really love his music. Would rate this album below "strangely isolated place" for the lack of inspirational freshness.

Mr Jordon new release is fair. Arrangements are fair. His pevious CDs were better like his 1st 3 or 4 Cds he 1st put out. Id pass on this new release.

This is a poor example of his previous work. Too formulaic. Too long. I don't know what happened to his

Upon The Release of This Album I Was Excited That Something New From Him Was Out And Available For The Fans!!  Hearing It Though Was a Little Disapointing. I Would Have Thought That with him Being More Mature His Stuff would Be Happier But It is not. I Find The Album Kinda Slow Going And Not Real Upbeat .A Few Songs are good But I find it To be to slow mostly.if you want dance music , this is not the album for you.

Its a good CD but his last one was better then this one. but hopefully his next cd will be better as this one just does seem like him.

Seems he wrote this to hopefully get a movie out of it.  Good, but not his best.  The earlier works are better.
