An excellent album

Advantages: good songs
Disadvantages: just one cd, I wishe there were two or three

...It is Barbara Streisand`s second live album and it was recorded long ago in 1972. If you own her first live album you will be able to make the difference between the two. It shows how much her music has grown and diversified. Although she hasn`t played at concerts for nearly 5 years Barbara Streisand has often played in Casino`s in Las Vegas. There is very funny monologue where she pretends to be smoking marijuana. Two interesting facts- 1. This ...

Superb Streisand

Advantages: Some classic songs, a singer at the peak of her vocal prowess
Disadvantages: A couple of forgettable tracks, only ten songs on the album

Introduction Recently Radio 2 have been playing a fair amount of Barbra Streisand given she has a new album coming out soon. Her new release “Love is the Answer” is the reason for this, and on this album Streisand interprets many classic old songs including “Smoke Gets in Your Eyes” and “If You Go Away”. And therein, for me at least, is the problem I have with Streisand these days – she is still a magnificent singer but her inability to do anything ...
...for me as she has rested her laurels in the lucrative but bland MOR market. As I listened to her admittedly well sung, but ultimately sleep inducing version of “In the Wee Small Hours” on the radio I was left hankering for a time when I would get excited over a Streisand release and wanted to go back to when this living legend was truly at her peak. As a result I dug out my copy of “Greatest Hits Volume 2”, a 1978 release which for me, was my introduction ...

Of Whales and not so much of the woe if you please!

Advantages: see review
Disadvantages: none

Of Whales and Woe is Les Claypool's first proper solo album. His name may not be familiar to all as he is better known as Primus' frontman bassist extraordinaire. This album was released back in 2006 on his own record label Prawn Song. (It was recently re-released on vinyl as of November 2009.) Not so much of the wacky lyrics on this album but a far more accessable feel than his previous works. Nearly every track featured here is bass-driven in his ...
...check this out! The arrangements of the other instruments like saxophone sitar, guitar and drums, etc sit really well together without drowning anything out. The songs themselves are really catchy and you'll find yourself singing along too by the end of it. There is even one track on here, Iowan Girl, written specially for his wife with some of the most amazing bass playing I have ever heard. There isn't a bad track on here in my opinion. TRACK LISTING: ...

My review of Radiohead´s OK Computer

Advantages: A great number of songs are good. Highly original.
Disadvantages: No all the songs are that great.

Radiohead does it again. Highly original record. Most songs last forever. The in and out bass line of "Airbag" is brilliant. I also like the way this song slowly unfolds, specially the brilliant guitar. You might be surprised to hear that I don´t care too much for "Paranoid Android" one of their most famous singles. I thought "Subterranean Homesick Alien" was great too. "Let Down" is also a super song that must be in your collection. "Karma Police" ...

My review of Sarah Mclachlan´s Afterglow

Advantages: A few super songs.
Disadvantages: Some songs are not that good musically speaking.

I have always admired and been a fan of Sarah McLachlan´s music. Certain songs I find better than others. My favorite song in this record is "Fallen". It is a musically breath taking and perfect song in my opinion. It is one of those songs that lasts forever. I never get tired of listening to it. I also liked "Drifting", "Answer" and "Time". I didn´t care too much for the rest. She has great songs, the only problem with the album is that it is one ...
