4 Stars!  Dope CD from Recovering Alkaholik!

This CD slipped under my radar until the joker above told me about it.  Even hardcore Liks fans didn't know much about J-Ro's solo and him being on a foreign label hurt his distribution.  I finally picked it up and it is definitely a dope CD and better than expected.  The production is handled by some foreigners I think but does a good job of replicating the feel good vibe of Liks music.  J-Ro hasn't lost a step either.  Definitely dope, but like Exxxxx said, the hooks aren't all that dope and so overall the CD is missing that extra factor to make it even doper.

I just picked up "Tune Into Mind Radio" and it is a great CD! Kelly is a top notch vocalist and songwriter and all the songs here do him justice, with several styles represented. The first track "Perfect Day" has an edgy alt-rock slant to it, sort of like The Fray. Anthony Z'sler who I've seen several times here in Atlanta arranged it, and legendary drummer Carmine Appice and bassist Tony Franklin add in the rhythms. "Snake" really rocks out with a metal-grunge punch sort of in the Nickelback vein. "Free" mellows out some but is still a really cool and intense acoustic ballad. There are also three wonderful instrumental songs. "Morning Song" is a mesmerizing piano ballad a pianist nammed Jeffrey Michael; hard rocking "In And Out of Time" kind of reminds me of Gary Hoey or Vivian Campbell.  Dominic Gaudious wrote the only brand new original here, "Hombre Salvaje," and it is really good, a funky rocker in the Zappa vein. I've heard a lot of Kelly's work over the years and I would bet his fans would love this, and so will anyone who loves good music from various genres.

Well, it's very good to have them back! Here is my favourite tracks and I bet that most of you agree with me:
"Psychological"
"Sodom & Gomorrah Show" (I believe it will be next single - in the caliber of "It's A Sin")
"Minimal" (my favourite track)
"Luna Park"
"I'm With Stupid"
"Integral"

In a second level I chose also:
"Casanova In Hell"
"Twentieth Century"
"Fugitive (Richard X Extended Mix)" - from the 2nd disc "Fundamentalism"
"In Private (Stuart Crichton Club Mix)"

The Japanese Edition worth only for "I'm with Stupid (PSP Maxi Mix)".

Trevor Horn did an incredibly production here!
This is a HIGHLY enjoyable disc! More, much more than "Release", but not as good as "Nightlife". Buy it if you like PSB.

I NEVER splerge on a CD that I've never heard.
But I did.
Well ok I did hear "Alaska" & "Inquiring Minds".
Well as soon as I popped this cd in with my friends we drove out to the beach and played it all the way through, my friends who are die hard SLIPKNOT fans had 2 remarks:
1. This is good!
2. I want to buy this album
This cd compliments a beautiful day on the beach.
The best song is "Pasted" sung by Krist Novoselic (who does a good job) I loved it sooo much that I'm buying the single to "alaska" because it has a song called "Son of Pasted" which I believe is a different mix of my favorite song.
It's such a shame that Krist Novoselic has left the music business.
Recently I heard that Krist is pondering a solo cd, that is great news considering my favorite tracks on this cd (besides 'Alaska' & 'What I Said') are with Krist Singing.

In my opinion this is better than the Foo Fighters.
I buy a Krist Novoselic solo CD in a second.

Yes I was surprised that they have returned also. This CD is great! Still not as good as Wisconsin Death trip but there best since. So pick this one up and respect them! And then listen to the puppy song "Dirthouse"! Its so damn cool! This CD hasn't exited my CD played in a month now, with no sign of slowing down! BUY this CD and quit reading this! Oh and SPIKE your hair really tall and show some respect before I start a WAR on the country of your mom! Thanks for reading.

This is one of the best CDs I have heard in a long time. Their punk-pop mix is driven and catchy, but it never gets old and it always sounds fresh. And I just think it's cool because my friend Brad had never heard of them (And he thinks he's so much more underground than I am!) I heard of them on MP3.com and got hooked, and the minute I saw the CD I felt the compulsion to buy it. The ol' instincts were right of course...Lucky 7 is greatness in the making!

This is the CD and it is worth the price!  The title is deceiving, this CD is full of some great industrial hits:
1.  FLA - Everything Must Perish
2.  Funker Vogt - Subspace (FVs new sound, not as harsh as older material.  I like it!)
3.  Blutengel - Bloody Pleasures (Hard edged industrial dance - awesome track!)
4.  Unheilig - Komm Zu Mir (German metal, better then new Rammstein material)
5.  Lame Immortelle - Judgement remix (Great remix of an already strong, dancable song.  I highly recommend the new full length CD Dann Habe Ich Umsonst Gelebt, not available on Amazon)
6.  Absurd Minds - Damn the Lie
7.  SPOCK - Satellites remix
8.  Neuroticfish - Velocity (this band is new to me, good track)
9.  Icon of Coil - Situations Like This (new version) (This is the updated version with male vocals, with faster dance beat.  Impressive!)
10.  Melotron - Bruder
11.  Echo Image - Skulk
12.  Silke Bischoff - Love Never Dies (melow song)
13.  In Strict Confidence - Zauberschloss (Lyrics in German, great track!)
14.  Hocico - Poltergeist (hard edged Industrial band from Mexico - slamming beats!)
15.  Plastic Assault - Crackhead
2nd bonus CD with 5 tracks.

I was kind of unsure about this CD, I bought it mainly because of Anette from Nightwish singing on one song, and Empuu also from Nightwish being a member (my favorite band by the way!) being on this recording. Wow, what a pleasant surprise! I am an old Journey fan back from the Steve Perry days and I just totally love this CD! Pekka's voice is impeccable and I agree with another reviewer that I will probably have to own all of their CD's. So, if you love music in this genre give it a try, and you won't be disappointed!

I first found out about this band when I was listening to a local radio station. They played "Alcoholics in My Town," and I absolutely fell in love. I bought this CD without listening to the other tracks, and I was completely blown away by almost every track (only 1 or 2 aren't superb). I recommend this CD to anyone who enjoys music that can poke fun at society (with much honesty), or wants a CD that is great for listening on long drives.

White Trash with Money Cd is an excellent investment. My friends and I have had so much fun listening to this cd. Of course, our favorite song is "Get Drunk and Be Somebody". We like to party and have a good time and that is the perfect song to use. I like the part when he says all week long he's been a real nobody. We all work in a nursing home where you get know gratitude for what you do and being on the low end of the totum-pole is exactly where we are. So on our weekends off we like to "get drunk and be somebody"!!! This song always cheers us up. The bus songs are really cool too. Everyone should buy this cd. It is sure to make it a better day for them.

After complaining for months about lackluster, live Cds, surprisingly, along comes Sarah Mclachlan. She just goes to prove that when it comes to audience participation sing-a-longs, the girl's side is always singing  louder than the men's side! The only problem with this Cd,although it does  drag slightly, is the material(or lack of)that exsists for the Canadian  songstress to sing. Almost all of the songs are from her last 2 breakthrough  Cds, although she does go back to Solace for a song. The nice surprise is  the bouyant(at least for Lilith founder Mclachlan)Ice Cream. Lke Sheryl Crow  & friends in Central Park, there's just too much recent material here  to be overly exciting. This is the way to hear Sarah, though. I caught her  at the Singer/Songwriter concert at Penns Landing in Philly in 93 with  October Project(when she still had that beautiful long hair), and beleive  me, live is how she shines! It's just that if I have to hear I Will Remember  You again, I'll puke!

This CD by Moodorama, quiet frankly, is not very adventourous. This does not mean its nto a good CD! This is a great CD! This cd starts with a completely unnecessary intro but then "Darkness" comes up and boom! The listner is transported into a land of beauty, endless inmgination and love! That is a track you can relax to, make love to and slow dance to. Moving further into the cd, we hit another note worthy track, "Dark Sun". This song reminds of "spin spin suga" (original album version) by the Sneaker Pimps, except, the sound on this tune is much more refind and easy on you ears. Also "Dark Sun" goes into this variation half way into the track where sampled "tabla" like rythems are added. That sounds great! The rest of the cd is done in pretty much generic down-tempo/ trip hop style (reminder: this does not mean this is a bad or a boring cd!) until we reach the very last track "Mindless Moments". Now this track , i have a problem catagorising it. It can best be described a cross between cheezy porn movi jazz and super high quality trip hop. Personally i think this is the best track on this cd though i have heard another version on the compilation "Plug In and Turn On #4" which i liked better. Over all this a fantastic cd and one of my personal favourits. I highly recomend this cd. This Cd has given me hours of listning pleasure. I love this CD and i feel Moodorama seem to be a very promising group and i heartly look forwars to their next release! As an end note i must say that the only reason i give this Cd 4 instead of 5 stars because about half way into the Cd i start to feel that all of it sounds the same but that does not bother me much.

I absolutely LOVE this CD.  I heard many of the songs on XM-Squizz before hearing the CD the entire way through (while I was getting my tattoo--LOL).  I was like "Wow...this is really good" so I purchased it.  It was one of the BEST CDs I have gotten in a LONG time.  There is a full range of work in this CD, some slower songs (like "Fall into Sleep") but mostly hard alternative.  I'm going to get LD-50 next.  I've heard it is even better, which will totally amaze me if it is true!

I hung out with all the punk kids that ran out and bought Incubus's first CD Fungus Amungus when it came out in 95!  I liked the CD but it was nothing memerable enough to get me hooked.  I never picked up the CD I just occasionally listened to it at my friends houses.  Then in 98 I saw these guys in concert doing some of their newer stuff and I thought I was goign to die!  They rocked the house with their energy on every song!  This CD is not what they were then, they went soft.  Their big hits are all soft and they don't have the energy that I remember from S.C.I.E.N.C.E. and they seem to be on a downward slope to the angst filled pits of teenage boredom rock but the CD is still really good.  It is not punk rock listening except for a few songs where their old style shows through like Out from Under and even Make Yourself the title song shows that they used to be hard experimental punk if you know what you are listening for.  If you like their songs on the radio buy this CD, if you are an old Incubus listener I woudl recommend that you listen to the CD before you buy it.  This is definitely not the Incubus you remember!  Again this CD really is awesome and it has so much social commentery on it I can hardly believe that these guys are punk rock but all that aside the CD is definitely a 5 star CD.

The music and words in these songs are upbeat and inspiring.  Michael Ian has a great voice and I love the music. The songs were inspired by Recovery from Alcoholism but you don't have to be in Recovery to love this CD, the messages apply to everyone.  This is my new favorite CD!

Tash (AKA Catashtrophe) is a member of the Alkaholiks and in my opinion the strongest link. He has a crazy flow that I can't get enough of. Lyrically Tash is a tight rapper. Himself (and the Liks included) are underrated lyricists. I love listening to this album because he is the funniest and most creative lyricist out, along with Redman. You never know what's going to come out of this guys mouth. Some of the stuff is downright hilarious like on "Fallin' On" he spits, "On the mic I move the crowd like Big Pun stage divin". "Only When I'm Drunker" is a hilarious song with the Liks where each member humorously disses each other. The only downside is that The Alkaholiks are a great group and sound at their best together, so this album isn't quite as good as their group albums. It is a very solid solo though, with some good beats, and tons of rhymes that will make you press the rewind button to see if he really said that. The "Rap Life" bravado on this album can get a little tiring and Kurupt's appearance on "G'z Iz G's" leaves a lot to be desired. But great songs like "Ricochet", "Only When I'm Drunker", "Nightfall", "True Homies" (with a great verse from Xzibit), and some others make this album worth getting if you like anything Tash or the Liks have done. Fans of other music might want to listen to some of it before buying.

I wasn't familiar with Eat Skull, so I'm not about to say that I had their prior record and/or had ever seen them and/or had any idea what they sounded like, but I saw that good things were being said and I saw that this was on Siltbreeze, which has never released a bad record (with many singles being compiled on Tard & Further'd - my favorite compilation CD ever - get that if you don't have it), so I figured I'd give this a shot. Smart move. This is a great CD. Poppier than I thought it would be. Less noisier than I imagined as it's mostly acoustic. But lots more fun than I was expecting. What/who can I compare this? Maybe if the Ramones were slowed down, and played acoustically. Some of the songs sound like they could be on a Nuggets compilation.

Faves include "Stick To The Formula" (I don't know what the formula is, but it's got a great beat and you can dance to it so I'll give it a 98), "Heaven's Stranger" (which makes you smile the second it starts), "Who's In Control?" (which has something in it that reminds me of Adam Sandlers Chanakah song), "Killed By Rooms" (who's faster pace and intensity first threw me off, but which may now be my favorite song on the disk after a couple of listens) and "Oregon Dreaming" (which ends the disk on an almost symphonic scale and causes me to restart everything all over again. At 1:51, I wouldn't be disappointed if it went on as long as "Like A Hurricane". Maybe we should get Eat Skull to channel Neil Young!!). Even "Nuke Mecca" is fun as it sounds like a Hardcore song from 1980 as it changes the tempo a little. And at less than 30 minutes, it's short and sweet. Why stuff a CD with 79 minutes of crap when all you need are 27 minutes? At 3:18, "Talkin Bro In The Walls Blues" practically feels like a 10 minute jam!?!?!

I've heard good things about the lyrics, but I can't understand most of what the singers saying so maybe that'll come to me in the future, of which this CD definitely will be a part of. Six months in, this is the best CD of 2009.
