Dave Matthews Band Crash Rock Music CD Review


Not sure what's happening with me on this one, but it seems like the more I listen to it, the better Crash gets. Crash stated simply is one of their best CDs to date.

It's a rare day indeed that I get a CD from an artist that I can truthfully say does not have a bad track in the bunch. I'm more than happy to announce that's exactly what I must say about this one. There simply is NOT a bad one in the bunch. No fillers here at all.

Crash is a nicely varied, mix of 12 tracks that are very well written and brilliantly performed songs by these clearly gifted musicians. Most of the songs display a lot of the kind emotion that makes for a really great listen. Seemingly drawing from what I can only imagine are their own personal experiences. At different points touching on the most real emotions of love, and the pain of failed relationships can certainly be heard.

I give Crash my highest recommendation. It just plain belongs in any serious music collectors collection regardless of genre preference.

While the entire album is really very good some of my favorites are track 3 - Crash Into Me, track 9 - Lie In Our Graves, and track 12 - Proudest Monkey

My Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [...as in "Stuck On REpeat"] is track 1 - So Much To Say. Wow!

Duane Allman Anthology Rock Music CD Review


Anthology is the latest Rock CD put out by the extremely talented Duane Allman who once again has delivered a brilliant collection of tracks. I'm confident Duane Allman fans, and Rock fans alike will be pleased with this one.

This one will grab your attention right from the very first note with B.B. King Medley: Hour Glass: Sweet Little Angel / It's My Own Fault / How Blue Can You Get and doesn't let go until the very last note of the very last song Little Martha, which is another great track by the way.

One of the nicer things about a CD like this is when the talent is this rich even if Rock isn't your favorite genre you still can't help but appreciate the greatness of the artist.

If you're even mildly into Rock music you'll enjoy this CD. Overall Anthology is an outstanding release. I give it my double thumbs up. You will not be disappointed with one single track.

While this entire CD is really very good some of my favorites are track 6 - Games People Play, track 3 - Please Be With Me, and track 10 - Little Martha

Godsmack - Faceless - Rock Music CD Review

Not sure what's happening with me on this one, but it seems like the more I listen to it, the better Faceless gets. Faceless simply stated is one of their best CDs to date.

It's a rare day indeed that I get a CD from an artist that I can truthfully say does not have a bad track in the bunch. I'm more than happy to announce that's exactly what I must say about this one. There simply isn't a bad one in the bunch. No fillers here at all, with each song standing tall on it's own.

Faceless has a nicely varied, mix of 12 tracks that are very well written and brilliantly performed songs by these clearly outstanding musicians. With many of the songs displaying a lot of the kind emotion that makes for a really great listen. Clearly drawing from what I can only imagine are their own real life experiences. At different points touching on the most real emotions of love, and the pain of failed relationships can certainly be heard.

Overall Faceless is an outstanding release. Quite possibly Godsmack's best to date. Really spectacular from beginning to end. If you're even mildly into Rock music you'll enjoy this album.

While the entire album is really very good the truly standout tunes are track 4 - Make Me Believe, track 8 - Releasing The Demons, and track 12 - Serenity.

Not sure what's happening with me on this one, but it seems like the more I listen to it, the better Amigos gets. Amigos stated simply is one of Santana's best CDs to date.

While this entire CD is really very good some of my favorites are track 2 - Take Me With You, track 5 - Tell Me Are You Tired, and track 7 - Let It Shine
