Re-Woven Tapestry

Advantages: Songs never grow old, surprisingly good versions by interesting artists
Disadvantages: You may not like all the artists on the album, but that shouldn't stop you

Little can be added to the praise that has always been heaped on Carole King's album "Tapestry". But a group of artists have found a better way than words to show their admiration and love for this practically perfect collection of songs. With a plethora of artists from Celine Dion to Manhattan Transfer to Rod Stewart, this Tribute will appeal to practically everyone. Granted, not all the artists' will suit the taste of true lovers of the original ...
...there is a lot to recommend this album. My personal favorite track on this album is Manhattan Transfer's version of "Smackwater Jack". This ballad like song, with its slightly country overtones, seems to fit the voices of this group like a glove. They've done nothing particularly special with the song, but still, it seems like they have revitalized it. You might not blame me if my least favorite track was Celine Dion's version of "(You Make Me ...

Pop-Stars? More like Flop-Stars!

Advantages: None
Disadvantages: Watered Down, Teenage, Stupid

I'm not giving Metro Station a bad review just because Trace Cyrus is Miley Cyrus's brother. The reason I am giving them a bad review is because the album they produced is just awful. It shouldn't even be called music. It is watered-down pop punk that doesn't really deserve much recognition. The lyrics are unimaginative and and are just cheesy to the point of being unbearably annoying. Unfortunatly, songs such as "Shake It" have wormed their way ...

Arkansas rockers produce immense album

Advantages: Original, Tuneful, Powerful
Disadvantages: Depressing

Evanescence are one of the bands in an obscure section of rock that action get media attention. This is unusual. The thing that definitely stood out to me on the album was Amy Lee's (vocalist) ability to use classic instruments to boost the originality. I will review this album, track-by-track. **Going Under** This song is one of the heavier tracks of the album. The tempo of this track is generally slow but it is still good. Lee's vocals in this ...
...at the same time. **Bring me to Life** This song is the one that launched Evanescence into the limelight. It was a #1 in Britain for four weeks which surprised a lot of people because of their genre. This chart postition was definitely well deserved as it is a powerful song. Lee's vocals are assisted by Paul Mccoy as an extra in the chorus. **Everybody's Fool** This song has a more mainstream feel to it than other songs on this album. The intro ...

Status Quo, Heavy traffic album

Advantages: great music
Disadvantages: no disadvantages

Heavy Traffic album by Status Quo - I am a big Quo fan, I like most of there work and music that they have produced over the years, my opinion is that this is the best album of this century from 2000 - 2009, this album is orignal work by the best rock band in the world. This album came out in 2002, with 2 singles which was also released from the album, (jam side down) and (all stand up never say never). I have been to many Quo concerts in my life ...
