This album is way beyond expectation. Summer is back to her peak form. It is a modern dance oriented album. It is not just for Summer fans. In fact it has very little like her disco era materials.

Give this modern Summer a try.

I am really worried Madonna is going to have an on stage incontinence accident really soon....and those undies look HUGE!

Sad music by a person who should spend less time doing onstage impersonations of a 1980's 20yr old and more time trying to save her marriage, and Africa.

I bought it for the song Mercy, after listening to it, all the songs on the CD are good. Well worth the purchase.

I will keep it simple, short and sweet. These tunes totally took me back to when I first heard the yellow album. This one just has that feel like it's 1979.

I will never buy another Coldplay album without hearing it first. This is the best example of a "DBB" (download it before buying it) album. I can understand how a band should evolve and not repeat themselves. From The Beatles to Depeche Mode we have seen bands changing their style album after album but STILL each album is great. Tough I didn't expect another A Rush of Blood album I sure expected great melodies or complex arrangements. None of this is found here. Sure, "VIVA LA VIDA" is one of the greatest songs of this years and one of Coldplay's best, but do we have to go all through an album of dull "songs" just to have one or at the most 2 great songs?? I can't believe this is the same Brian Eno that produced such gems with Bowie and Talking Heads. I guess a producer can't do much when the artist lacks completes inspiration. ... Read More

I'll be upfront and admit that I'm not a big fan of a lot of current dance music. Though I absolutely loved the dance music that was big in the '70s and early '80s, by the late '80s and certainly in the '90s I started noticing a generic quality to lots of remixes. The extended versions (or simply remixes) of popular songs no longer sounded unique but instead sounded like so many other songs. It's with that frame of reference that I review this cd. While I like a lot of the songs here, I generally find most of the mixes overly long and repetitive. There's a certain sameness to a lot of the rhythm tracks, almost to the point where until the singing starts it's difficult to even tell one song from the next.

I love, love, love Cyndi's new dance album, Bring Ya To The Brink, and that's what prompted me to finally pick up this cd. ... Read More

Alanis is the bomb, but this album bombs. Her voice is completely buried by an atrociously arranged, synthetic beat. It's sounds like Alanis was asked to create the soundtrack to a Mario Bros game--Super Morisette Brothers. As for the title, Flavors of Entanglement? The only flavor here is cotton candy. Kate Perry's album feels more real, and that's really saying something.

If you don't know Emmylou Harris at all, buy anything she's ever done. The worst that you'll get is really good. This album is lovely, if low-key and sad. There is a strain of American music - the only authentic strain aside from Afro-American - embodied in country, folk and some rock based on the former two that is heart-piercing, but absolutely lovely. And Emmylou Harris - who defies labels - does it best of all (though her version of "Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend" - elsewhere - rocks with a kind of tough cynicism that the Broadway showtune never had.) I've seen her up close in a small concert and she is the very epitome of grace, modesty and beauty. I've been playing this disk for months in my waiting room, and client after client has been struck and asked me about it and her (and Juanes too, but that's another story.)

I play portions of it almost everyday. My favorites are Labels or Love, How Do you Mend a Broken Heart, and of course the rock classic Walk This Way. Even if you didn't see the movie, it's a fun CD to have in your collection.

Jewel is at her best when she's singing pop folk. She is a fantastic singers and an accomplished songwriter. Perfectly Clear though, takes Jewel out of her groove and back to her roots. Her father is a cowboy singer-songwriter, so it makes sense she'd try her hand in country music.

Jewel's seventh album is not her best, however. You really have to be into country music to like/love this one. As someone who enjoys country music, I enjoyed this, but I'm not sure mainstream Jewel fans will love this one. The good: the album is well produced and not overly done. Jewel's voice is clear and strong.

Recommended for Jewel fans who don't mind a little country.
