Diversity, It's just music

Allison Krause/Robert Plant

Allison Krause in great voice. Plant hasn’t sounded this good in years. The band is clean, the production tight. Then why is this cd so boring? 1.5

Love and Rockets

Was a fan of this band when going through my gothic music phase. The Cult, these guys and the Mission always seemed to find their way to my turntable. Now some 22 years later I dusted off the disc and surprise its still pretty cool. Yes the Bauhaus boys put out some good music in their days and this disc is there most consistent. True to start off with an atmosphere track is a bit boring but the songs that follow are great. But Sunshine, Kundalini Express, All in my Mind, Laralay are all great tracks one after another. Yes I do like the cover, but is a great song. Could do without the acoustic version on the second half of All in my Mind. But still a great disc 4.0

Robert Palmer

One of the best three song intro of an album ever. But when Lowell George is your guitarist and you have a voice as talented as Robert Palmer it’s going to sound pretty damn good. While the rest of the cd does not hold up to the opening, there are some good songs with excellent singing and playing from all those involved. This cd and Pressure Drop are two examples of how talented Robert Palmer truly was. 3.5

Wolf Parade

Did not realize I had disc until too late.

Big Star

I really should like these guys much more. After all they are such an influence to many a band I find great. Its not that I dislike the band, it’s that I find the bands they influenced far better than they are. Perfect example Cheap Trick In the Street is better than the original. I guess it’s similar to Carson and Letterman. Carson was the first but I’d rather watch a letterman greatest hits.
