It's fun, It's catchy, what's not to love?

When I bought Michelle Branch's debut album, I have to admit, I didn't know much about her or her music. I knew she was becoming pretty big in the United States, but Canada didn't seem to have caught on, because not once have I ever heard of any of her songs played on the radio or on tv (single videos).
The first time I got a taste of what her music was like was on the episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer when she sung the song "Goodbye to You" (which is worthwhile to note, is her latest single) I loved the song, and when I was in the record shop one day, I remembered her name and decided to give her cd a chance.
Her cd overall, is amazing, very superior to the music being produced by artists today, one thing I found disappointing was that all her songs are about love. I know the topic of love sells, but couldn't she have come up with something a little more original than that?
Although she hasn't invented any writing styles, she's improved the pop scene by not only her song writing, but her overall image as well.

Fun is one of my favorite finds of 2009, and At Least I'm Not (As Sad As I Used to Be) leads the pack.  It's a great, grand, swelling song that makes me very happy.

This song is wonderful.  It's got just the right amount of emotion; the lyrics draw you in, and it manages to be a little catchy too.

I like it!  A bit poppy, but catchy and interesting nevertheless.  This record breaks no new ground, but I like to listen in the car and (I confess!) to sing along.

I love it!  If you like Panic at all, you will enjoy the disc, it's catchy and fun.

This album is catchy, well arranged and fun to listen to it.  Lots of dancing in our house when we're playing it :).

infectious rhythm, catchy-enough melodies, and fascinating visuals..... for what more could you ask?  I read the reviews by others before I ordered this, after seeing several of the "songs" on my local PBS station over the past 6 months or so.... just had to have it, even if only for those songs.  My only complaint is that I can't hear the cymbals and high-hats.... maybe it's my 71-year old ears?  maybe it's the audio on my TV?  (haven't tried it playing the disc on my computer yet...) or, maybe it's the audio quality of the dvd.  At any rate, I'd welcome some feedback from others.  I can't wait to get the Animusic 2, too....

I agree! It's super-catchy. And clever lyrics, though I can't quite figure out what they're about... It reminds me a bit of Squeeze songs like "Pulling Mussels from a Shell."

And, oh yeah, the album is lots of fun.  "Stacked Actors" makes me want to yell at things, "Aurora" makes me want to float around on cottony things, but it's only "Learn To Fly" and its  accompanying video (thankfully included on the CD--you can watch the band  being cute and funny in one of the best videos this year as many times as  you want) that can make me want to dance around in my living room.  Get  this CD.  You may end up doing some dancing of your own.

Not quite as poppy as "Ocean Avenue" but more fun than the dreadful follow-up "Lights and Sounds," Yellowcard's latest, "Paper Walls" delivers something for everyone. Witness the aggressive guitar intro to the track "Light Up the Sky" and it is evident that the traces of whiny emo-pop from "Lights and Sounds" are mostly gone. In its place are catchy but fast-paced melodies, riffs (yes, I said RIFFS) and harminies made complete with the occasional violin. This band seems to have remembered where they hid their guitars. Key's vocals are typically excellent, melodic with a little attitude, and most of the melodies are good. Some of the songs don't develop a catchy hook and about a third of the tracks drag a little, but when they are on their game, Yellowcard proves that they are more than just a one-hit wonder with this surprisingly solid release. The lyrics are also good, an added bonus, not to have to hear songs about breakups over and over again. Yellowcard is way more intriguing than Plain White T's, way less self-aware than FOB or My Chemical Romance, and just might score their biggest hit yet with "Paper Walls."

Madonna's "MDNA" is easily the most accessible album she has made in years, even more so than 2008's "Hard Candy". Personally, I think this CD is more fun and entertaining and catchy than anything she put out in the 90s or 2000s.

The CD starts off with "Girl Gone Wild", the second single to be released off the disc. It's not the greatest thing she's done and is far from the best on the CD. It's serviceable enough and should fit well in the dance clubs. "Gang Bang" is a very catchy song with a very sing a long worthy chorus. And no, it is not about what you think it is by the title. "I'm Addicted" is light and catchy, but mostly disposable dance pop. So far, it's easy listening, but nothing great. But now it turns. "Turn Up The Radio" is a fun and catchy tune with shades of old school pop. The first single, "Give Me All Your Luvin'", has been criticized for being weak and not a great lead single. On it's own, it is a great and instantly catchy pop song that sounds like a hit single. I can do without Nicki Minaj though. We all can. "Superstar" has a great drum beat intro and a sweetly sung and catchy chorus. This song definitely sounds like it could be a single on the radio. It should be. Two of my top favorite tracks are up next. "I Don't Give A" is one of the top highlights of the entire CD. It's insanely catchy and it builds to an epic finish with what sounds like a church choir in an empty room. Amazing! "I'm A Sinner" has shades of Madonna's 1999 hit, "Beautiful Stranger". This is no surprise as she made both songs with William Orbit. 'Sinner' is even better. The CD ends with another pleasant song called "Love Spent", and the only softer, ballad-y songs with "Masterpiece" and "Falling Free". The only two songs on the CD that don't do anything for me.

As for the deluxe version of this release, it is worth it just for "B-Day Song" alone. "Beautiful Killer" and "Best Friend" don't do it for me, and the party rock remix of "Give Me All Your Luvin'" isn't essential. "I F***** Up" is the only other worthy track on disc 2's extra set of songs. A song that only Madonna could do. But, for me, the standout in the deluxe edition is "B-Day Song". It's light and airy and harmless, but it has a great 1960s girl group sound to it that it's just fun. It wouldn't sound too out of place next to "True Blue". Sure to put a smile on your face. Sometimes that's all you need.

All in all, I find "MDNA" is to be an exceptional release from Madonna. Besides most of the hit singles, I have not been a huge fan of the albums she has put out in the last two decades. A lot of the time, the singles released from the albums were the only tracks I liked. "MDNA" is a release meant to have fun and for the material girl to be MADONNA. She can still sound like she's still 23. "MDNA" is a blast. While many of the younger acts today seem to be trying hard to be cool and get on the radio, "MDNA" makes it all seem so effortless.

I never thought I would be able to tolerate this CD, but I actually enjoy it. The kids LOVE it and we listen to it in the car too. The music is catchy and the lyrics are rather funny. Definite thumbs-up for kids' music. My two-year-old enjoys it just as much as the five-year-old.

This song is definitely not for children, but luckily, I am not a child. It is catchy and even has a real point to it

By catchy, I don't mean popular. Since this is in Israeli (Hebrew, I presume), I only understand a few of the words, however, I like the general liveliness of the music and the occasional minor key even of the more energetic tunes. It makes for very pleasant listening and is mostly pretty upbeat sounding so will give your spirits a lift if you are feeling a little low.

This band's first album is a really fun piece of alternative pop. The many songs don't lack hooks or style and it's never boring. There's enough variety and substance to keep you entertained while not feeling cheated. Highlights are Feels, Ange de ville, Candy, Les Djinns and the amusing Le reel de la pauvret. The band's second effort, 'Panavision' (2001), is even more impressive.

What's not to love? Its classic. You could swear you were hearing this live in the 1920s or 1930s. Authentic, superb and just plain fun.
