"Jeff Lynne was a popmeister. Confusion and Don't Bring Me Down were brilliant in that right but tracks like Midnight Blue cemented this as another solid outing by a band that was unabashedly Beatles-esque... yet not."Reply

But tonight I just want to stay in
And be with you,
And be with you - Every Night
The right girl (or boy) can make all the difference. When she comes along it’s like all of a sudden a huge weight is lifted from your shoulders. From your spirit. You suddenly feel at peace. You realize that unconsciously you had felt somehow incomplete. And this incompleteness caused a striving to make things right. To correct that imbalance. And we unconsciously try to correct that incompleteness with all sorts of stuff - bad tv, drugs, becoming a workaholic, what have you! It's different for everyone. But we are trying to fill a void we didn’t even know was there. And there all kinds of ways to fill that emptiness. Like making charts. lol. Or collecting things fanatically. There’s this pressure of more and more. And then all of suddenly the right girl comes along and BAM… this huge weight is lifted. A weight you didn’t even know you were carrying. And this weight makes us feel that something’s not right. , It makes us hurried. Rushing about our day. Not settled. And when that weight is lifted, you feel this incredible sense of peace and comfort. That you are exactly in the right place and the right time. There is no where else we need to be. Nothing else we need to do. That finally you are in the right place. That you are at home.
There’s a Feeling that you can do - ANYTHING! And she will still love you. Because she knows you. Really, really, knows you. And accepts your for what you are - quirks and all. Especially those quirks. She’s your cheerleader. She’s got you’re back. When you’re with her you have nothing to worry about. And that’s what this album is really all about. And what really tips it off are those instrumentals.. Tracks like “Valentine Day” and “Momma Miss america.” McCartney just doesn’t give a fuck. He’s free. Loose. Just ready to rip and have some fun. Embracing life like we all should. And it’s easy when you’re with the right girl. God knows I’ve been there. So if you find one. Find a girl that truly loves you. Someone who laughs at your jokes, can nurture you when your sick and really looks at you when you’re talking to her. That makes you feel like you’re at home. Embrace it, brothers. Settle down and make a home. Because you’re already there.
WARNING!: Don’t get spoiled. Don’t expect that every woman is going to love you like that. I was blessed to be in several great relationships. Girls who loved me even when I was sick. And I took it for granted. Got those old wandering eyes. Gouge them out, brother. Gouge them out. lol.
Grade: A. This album is a fun, boisterous romp through young love. It instantly brightens my day. It’s care free and easy. Because McCartney didn’t have a care in the world at this point of time. The huge pressure of expectations that were the Beatles had been lifted. He with the love of his life - “The Lovely Linda” - living on a country farm free to do whatever he wanted. And his happiness and confidence fill this record. And fill me when I listen to it. Instantly bringing in the summer and the sun. And like a wild flower after a heavy rain it shoots up my chart to number 17.
Dedicated to my boy, NoisyBeast and his “Lovely Linda.” You guys are the greatest! "[+]Reply

It's still a little short on identity, which is fair enough, and certainly has Springsteen's influences on show in a kind of hybrid of Bob Dylan and Van Morrison. The production is a bit muddy, and a lot of the songs would actually sound better in their live incarnations. Still, it has some of Bruce's early classics in, blinded by the light, growin' up, and off course, spirit in the night. The thing you notice most about the record is naturally, the words, there's loads and loads of them. Springsteen would eventually learn to economize lyrically, but you still can't be failed to be impressed by the sheer poetry of the songs, albeit very Zimmerman-esque. Personal favorites on the album are the snappy, does this bus stop at 82nd street, the beautiful, Mary queen of Arkansas, and the brilliant, lost in the flood. For you, is also excellent, although maybe, the angel, is the album's only weak track. It's a brilliant debut, with all that potential still yet to be realized. Springsteen would make better and more important records, but for Bruce fanatics, it's an album that holds a lot of affection. "[+]Reply
"Good blues, with some of Clapton's best playing outside of Layla propelling it to classic level. If you like Clapton, it's an absolute must. If you like blues, I recommend a listen at the least."Reply

There aren't any songs that feel like filler or pandering to his old frat-rap sound as he's found necessary on previous albums. It's a straightforward collection of songs about how he should have drowned in his depression and yet he's 'swimming' instead. His lyrics have less of the wit he's known for and more emotional prowess over some lush, and often funky, production. The authentic positivity of this album is a refreshing splice of life in Miller's discography and the project ranks among his greatest for me. "[+]Reply

Trent Reznor’s style of dark, swirling thumping music is fantastic and doesn’t really have a good comparison (perhaps later Radiohead and Marilyn Manson) but it’s easy to get lost or disinterested before you get into it. The Downward Spiral is certainly the best of his albums, but the intros are almost Pink Floydian in how long and ridiculous they are. Pretty Hate Machine is much more accessible but has a dated quality; some of the effects sound a bit token and cliché and don’t really fit with what the band moved onto later.\r\nWith Teeth however is a straight forward, rocking, down and dirty album of squeaks, screams and awesome, awesome drumming. NIN perfected big echoy drums years ago, but Dave Grohl shows up to contribute his talents and the results are fantastic. “The Collector” has a powerful drum intro while “Y’know What You Are?” has some pounding thrash beats powering it forward.\r\n“Only” is as close as NIN ever got to a pop song, with a catchy beat and a beast of a hook; “There is no you there is only me!”. “The Hand That Feeds” is a good place to start too. “Right Where It Belongs” is a hauntingly slow paced moment of quite in the barrage of all mighty noise.\r\nOverall the album is a quite clear about recovering from an addiction but this being NIN this is twisted into a “is everything what it appears to be?” Matrix-esque muddle. It’s not going to shatter your brain cells or anything but it will stay in the back of your mind for quite some time.\r\nWith Teeth is a hell of an album and if you like it I strongly recommend digging up his/their other stuff as the quality is pretty consistent. Today Trent is winning Oscars for some stellar soundtracks, check out this collab with Karen O for The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo, it’s pretty damn awesome.\r\nMore recommendations at http://captainspacker.blogspot.com/"[+]Reply
"Fantastic album by the Keys, easily one of their best. Some of their best songs are on here, and there isn't a bad song in the bunch. By this point they had developed into one of the best rock bands in the business."Reply

But for me, it's my favorite manson album, rising above the usual manson-whored metal template to put a glam sheen on depravity. That "rock is dead" song from the matrix is here, but there are other rockin' highlights as well. "Posthuman" (where he sings "god is just a statistic") match "rock"'s ferocity. The mood is set with opener "great big white world" with marilyn singing "In space the stars are no nearer / They just glitter like a morgue / And I dreamed I was a spaceman / Burned like a moth in a flame" adding synth FX after the first verse (and i like the squealing guitar/synth at the end). "the dope show" ("cops and queers make good looking models") and "i don't like the drugs (but the drugs like me)" (ha ha) were the post-"rock is dead" radio hits, but songs "new model no. 15", "the speed of pain" and "user friendly" ("i'm not in love but i'm gonna f*ck you 'til somebody better comes along") are just as wide-audience worthy. As usual with manson, it's a god, drugs & rock'n'roll show. The title track's repeated verse states "you were..as hollow as the 'o' in 'god') and "drugs" says "Our God is white and unforgiving / We're piss tested and we're prayin'" On the subject of drugs there's "There's a hole in our soul / That we're fillin' with dope / And we're feeling fine" I like the backing vox in the spacey, slow-build of "speed of pain" where "the crack inside your f@cking heart is me". But for my money, it's ironic that "rock is dead" is the best song simply being a pretty straight-forward rock song. This definitely non-metal style has since been abandoned by Marilyn, and it's a shame."[+]Reply
"Perfect autumnal music. She mixes drone, echoes, and guitar to make something that really sounds like no other album. Can this be characterized as ghostly folk? Each song is recognizable so no need to worry if you're going to get a monotonous album here."Reply
