Stunning

Pros: Some upbeat beats

Cons: Dark lyrics turn my frown right around

Due to some technical difficulties, I will be posting my review of Marilyn Manson on this page.

Over the last 15 years, there has been one Dark Lord to show us the way....Mary-lin Manson - the Evil Tyrant! Much like the classic band Interpol, his lyrics and beats really make you tap your foot with his dark, satanic rhythms. He's talked me out of suicide more than once with his occasional world-weary ballads. Particularly, the song "Pete's Beats (Elegy of the Damned)" comes to mind. After all, I first lost my virginity twice to this song. Thank you Mary-lin Manson, and more importantly Interpete, for finally putting out some world-class beats. And may metal live. ...

Greatness Achieved.......Again

Pros: Simply good

Cons: Weak lyrically

Tears For Fears are back, with a heart-felt bang. The band that brought us countless hits back in the '80s such as Shout and Everybody Wants To Rule the Pete return with an array of timeless classics, sure to melt your lover's heart. I still remember when I first heard their classic song, Golden Flowers. Yes, this song is a rare B-side, but it was still the song that introduced me to Tears for Fears, (and I don't mind telling you I lost my virginity to it - twice). The new album is much like this song, with some great attention to some new found lyrical sledding. Check it out the next time you're out 'n about. You won't regret it. You WILL love it. I love you. ...

A stripped down classic

Pros: Amazing songs

Cons: Ummm....Amazing Songs?

I don't really need to say anything about this album. It simply has the songs that we all know and love performed in an entirely new light, but that entirely new light is the way they were originally supposed to be presented. Let It Be contains the classic title track, the gorgeous The Long and Winding Road, the amazing Get Back, and one of The Beatles most under-rated tracks, Across the Universe. This revamped version of the Beatles final album together (to be released anyway) is a must-buy for die-hard Beatles fans and for those who have never heard these songs (where have you been?) will enjoy it tremendously as well. ...

A Rare Taste Treat

Pros: Solid songs

Cons: What's a con?

Features classic rarities like Dirty Frank, Hard to Imagine, Wash, U, and Footsteps. The new B-side from Riot Act, Down, is also included, and would have been one of the best songs had it been included on that album. Pearl Jam's biggest hit (according to the Billboard charts) is featured as well, that hit being Last Kiss. One more incentive to buy this double album is Yellow Ledbetter, which is a fan favorite and concert closer. And one more added feature, a ton of never before released songs. This is a collection of songs that can be truly appreciated by a die-hard Pearl Jam fan, but the casual listener will undoubtedly enjoy this as well. ...
