Rumours

CD-Charts > Music > Adult Contemporary
by: Fleetwood Mac

Release Date April 24, 1984
I actually do not like the songs on this album. Musically speacking they do sound great, however this album sounds flat and souless to me. So before you buy any fleetwood Mac album, listern to the songs first before buying.

Songs of Leonard Cohen

CD-Charts > Music > Adult Contemporary
by: Leonard Cohen

Release Date April 23, 2007
My introduction to Leonard Cohen was on a vinyl CBS sampler which included "Sisters of Mercy". On the basis of that track I bought "Songs of Leonard Cohen" (on vinyl) and many subsequent albums.
As has been said before I think that this album is probably Cohen's strongest overall - there are other gems on many of his albums but no other album contains so many songs which have stood the test of time.
'Suzanne' (and 'Bird on a wire' from 'Songs from a Room') were even covered by Fairport Convention - a band not noted for a shortage of self-penned material.
I tend to disagree with the reviewers who think Cohen is the best interpreter of his music; perhaps at times but generally his voice is the penalty paid for the pleasure of the songs. ... Read More:

Revolver

Release Date November 01, 1998
Hit me for six at the age of thirteen and a quarter of a century later I'd be hard-pressed to think of a more spectacular collection of pop songs.

1967-1970 : The Blue Album

CD-Charts > Music > Adult Contemporary
by: The Beatles

Release Date October 05, 1993
This was the 2d album I ever bought (see my 1962-66 review), and I loved playing both sets. However, as I collected the original albums, these became somewhat superfluous: the Beatles albums are so good they outrank virtually any other band's 'best of', and you can get the singles on Magical Mystery Tour and Past Masters 2.
The band were producing their most ambitious music and the selection represents a lot of this, although why Don't Let Me Down and Old Brown Shoe are here I don't know; they were released as B sides, so it gave them to 1973 collectors on album, but (on the same principle) you can get them on Past Masters 2 (and plenty of 1963-6 single / EP tracks weren't on the companion 'Red' album..).
So it's a good introduction, but once you've moved on ... Read More:

Immaculate Collection: the Best of Madonna

CD-Charts > Music > Adult Contemporary
by: Madonna

Release Date November 01, 1990
This album is not too bad, contains 17 great tracks.
Allthough there is one let down, none of them are the proper single/album versions. They are all remix edits or extended versions for this compilation.
All re-recored using Q sound, makes the tracks sound very different from the orginal, in some cases better (Live To Tell and Like A prayer). But just makes other tracks sound awful (Lucky Star, La Isla Bonita).

Personally I think if Madonna used all the proper single versions this album would have done much better and also if it included hits such as True Blue, Dress you up, Who's that girl and Causing A Commotion.

With rumours of Madge releasing a 25 year box set after she has finished releasing the singles from Hard Candy, hopefully all ... Read More:

1962-1966 : The Red Album

CD-Charts > Music > Adult Contemporary
by: The Beatles

Release Date October 05, 1993
In 1980, I bought my first album, and this was it - followed by its twin blue album as soon as I had another £5.49! No one could fault its songs and strengths, but I hereby contest that this selection does NOT represent the Beatles as it could have done.
Why? Well, it's entirely written by Lennon and McCartney (only their 2nd such album, after A Hard Day's Night). Their 1962-6 output was about 20% covers, and Twist and Shout is surely one of the 28 tracks which should represent the group for this period (a huge hit US single and UK EP). Again, Till There Was You could have exemplified McCartney's 'respectable pop balladeer' aspirations (which I do respect).
Interestingly, there are 6 songs from the now neglected Rubber Soul vice just the 2 singles from Revolver. The ... Read More:

Saturnalia

CD-Charts > Music > Adult Contemporary
by: Gutter Twins (Mark Lanegan & Greg Dulli)

Release Date March 03, 2008
Some superb reviews here, not much more you can add really. A fine album, and so much more than "Idle Hands", which as a single is quite misleading as to how rest of the album sounds. Having purchased it on the strength of the Screaming Trees/Queens of the Stone Age connection, I was perhaps expecting something a bit heavier. I honestly only expected something that sounded like a QOTSA side project, somewhere between Masters of Reality's "Deep in the hole" and the Desert Sessions 7/8. But Saturnalia stands on its own just fine. It's terrific hearing Lanegan's vocals again, and probably the best album i've heard this year. Just don't expect anything as up-tempo as "Hangin' tree".

Skin And Bones

CD-Charts > Music > Adult Contemporary
by: Foo Fighters

Release Date November 20, 2006
The Live album Skin and Bones is a brilliant and varied album from the Foos. Feauturing classics such as 'Times like these' and 'best of you' peformed live by Dave Grohl and co. - a must-have for Foo fighters fans - the lyrical performances are strong and emotive, even though you're not witnessing it live, the recording is excellent. Grohl is stripped to his acoustic core, in this brilliant and inspiring live album, truly amazing!
