Definitely different but still great

QOTSA continues their unique brand of rock.  Nothing jawdropping.  Just good music.

When I heard Saliva was coming out with a new album, I was less that excited. Their last one I didn't care for much, and I expected the same here. Then the first single came out (Ladies and Gentlemen) and I heard it on the radio... and it was something new and different. I was intrigued. I bought the CD the day it came out. Now, it's not the greatest album, but its pretty darn good. There's only two songs I really don't care for, and that's Going Under and Twister. Both are really just too much of a departure from the bands genre in my opinion. I get that they were trying something new, and I commend them for that, but I don't think it worked very well.

I think the best songs on the album are Ladies and Gentlemen, Broken Sunday and Black Sheep. All three are different from each other, but still have that 'Saliva' sound. I'd love to see the other two become singles.

In general, I recommend this album to anyone who enjoys good pure rock. Just skip tracks 6 and 7.

This is a really good album and seems to be a bit different then the rest. In no way is that bad. Like all great bands, these guys don't seem to be interested in repeating themselves. That being said they do have a very unique sound and are able to keep listeners aware that they do have something that defiantly makes them them.

Scratches the Risk itch while still being very different and offering more variety and depth. Instantly became one of my favorites.

Great album. Yes it's not the same musical style from her previous albums but I think that's one of the reasons I like it. Michelle's voice is still strong and beautiful but the sound is different. I think this is why she is such a great singer and musician, able to change style and still has great stuff. I hope she keeps up the great music.

It feels like a wholly different writer wrote this book than the first book, but the book is still great, and it is further adventures of what happened in the last book.  Just the writing seems to have changed some.  I'm quite tempted to reread the first book and small novella and then reread this one again!

This book is a bit different than the first two books in the series.  This one revolves around a newly introduced Pyte, Caine. I was beyond unsure of this book once I found out that the two main characters met when she was a small child.  I was afraid it would be creepy.  It really was not and I am glad.  This book has a nice balance between old and new characters.  There is a scene that is/could be rather disturbing and has a rape.  It is not at all graphic and the person assaulted is a very bad guy, but I did want to mention it.  That being said, this is most definitely not a book for the under 18 crowd.  I am looking forward to the next book in this series.  I really want to see how Joshua and Jill's  stories continue to unfold.

Although the tribal/mystical beats from Conjure One's first album are less apparent on Extraordinary Ways, Poe's vocals still make an amazing overlay to some great electronic music. It's different from the first album; I would say the first was certainly more original and eclectic, but this is a great follow up. Make sure you pick up their first album as well as Delerium's Karma, Poem, and Chimera.

I listened to this album alongside a few other recent live releases from Phish, and it stands out in an interesting way.
I've also listened to some of the earliest shows that circulate.  This show is such a strange transition between the Phish that has become well known, and the Phish that was starting out.
The quality of the show is not up to par with the more recent releases, but it's entirely appropriate.  There's a very different atmosphere on this recording.  The band sounds alternately tight, and a little sloppier than they are now.  The arrangements are, in some cases, drastically different.  The version of ACDC Bag on this is really different - a whole lot more piano.
The other big difference here is that there's more banter than there is now.
I'm glad that they release this collection.  It's good, and worthwhile for most fans to be aware of.  I would never advise people new to Phish to use this as a starting point though.

This was a really great and different change from S.M. Reine's other series.  As she warns it is not a book for the under 17 age group.  It is exciting, different and has extremely explicit sex scenes described.  Cannot wait to read the next book.

This was different from a lot of what's been out lately, which was a very pleasant surprise. As for the ending, I think that's just going to be a matter of opinion. I personally thought it was a daring thing to do, although I thought it was a little over-long. Still, I would definitely recommend this to friends.

Well a lot of people are dissing this new CD so I figured I'd give it some justice. Personally, I LOVE this CD. Yah sure their sound is different, but I think they're just maturing more as artists. Well I loved their old stuff as well, I think this album is a lot more serious and shows how much they've grown. The entire album is unique, all the songs are so different lyrically and musically. People need to realize that they're not kids anymore, they can't rub sunscreen on old people forever, sometimes you just need to grow up. That's exactly what GC did and I think the result is awesome. Great job boys!

A very different from the first novel, still very awesome sequel.

I prefer when bands make groundbreaking albums, and this one is clearly not, but its still amazing. While Black Cherry and Supernature were more edgy sounding, this album creates much more of a sound landscape. And its more refined, and utilizes Allison's great vocals better, than Felt Mountain. Whether you are an old fan or a newcomer to Goldfrapp, I highly recommend this whole album. Do not just purchase particular songs because they won't have the same impact as the entire album.

This is not the first mermaid book I've read, and to be honest I didn't have high hopes.  I was pleasantly surprised though and as soon as I finished it I had to buy the second book in the series.  It was definitely different than what I was expecting, but in this case different is good :)

I really like this album. It's very different from everything that sounds on the radio now and it's very well produced. I have many favorites. Among them are Aura, Do what you want, Venus and Gypsy. But the other songs are "Dope"! Highly recommended

A little different than the first, but still a great movie.
