This is Chris de Burgh doing what he always does! He takes words and music, puts them together in a way in which one feels as though they have experienced the “Love of a Heart Devine.” One understands and relates with “My Lover Is”. Chris is a true romantic and yet, he has a wonderful sense of Humor with “I Want It (and I want it now).” ‘Flying Colours’, ‘Into the Light’, ‘The Getaway’, and ‘Crusader’ are similar rock/ballad albums in which Chris has returned to with ‘Quiet Revolution.’ Give Chris de Burgh the recognition he deserves by setting “Lady in Red” aside and listen to the rest of his music. You won’t be disappointed!!

Never the greatest artist, ‘J-Lo’ or Jennifer Lopez or ‘Jenny From The Block’, or whichever monicer she is currently going by, returns with a new disc, and in truth, it’s alright. But that’s as great of an accolade one can afford it. In fairness, the majority of the material is no better nor worse than that featured on previous albums, but where the album does fall down is that it lacks the quality singles previous albums contained.

Whilst ‘Do It Well’ is a servicable enough single, it lacks the impact of the likes of ‘Waiting For Tonight’, ‘Love Don’t Cost A Thing’, ‘Ain’t It Funny’, or even ‘Jenny From The Block’ or ‘Get Right’.

Furthermore, beyond the so-so ‘Hold It Don’t Drop It’, and ‘Mile In These Shoes’, which fails to live up to the promise of it’s first minute or so, there are no further potential hit singles to be found on the album.

‘Stay Together’ is a pretty decent, dare I say slightly funky diatribe against Hollywood ‘blink and it’s over’ relationships, and although the sentiment is a nice one, given that the message is delivered by the four times engaged, three times married, twice divorced Lopez, it sort of smacks of hypocrisy.

‘Be Mine’ and ‘I Need Love’ are pretty decent ballads, nearer a jazzy/ adult contemporary pop style than the current trend for syrupy R & B ballads, whilst ‘Gotta Be There’ makes good use of a sample of Michael Jackson’s ‘Gotta Be Where You Are’, but Lopez fails to live up to the quality of the sample material.

The rest of the tracks are pretty forgettable, half-decent filler material, and if nestled between a collection of four or five hit singles, would constitute a great album judged by Lopez’s own standards. Unfortunately for Lopez, the hit material is lacking, and without a hit single to send to radio, Lopez is left treading water with nowhere to go.

Like Will Smith, Jennifer Lopez has entered the singing, dancing, acting, can-do-anything zone of the bona fide superstar and has developed an ego to match her talents. J.Lo, the follow-up to her multi-platinum 1999 debut On The 6, makes little attempt to tinker with the latino soul formula she patented back then, employing an army of co-producers and writers (including partner Puffy) to assemble a slick, 15-track affair. If anything, her sound is safe, retro even, with some tracks looking back to the 1980s, particularly the Michael Jackson-influenced “I’m Real” and the funky, impressive “Play”. Her Puerto Rican background comes to the fore on a handful of Spanish numbers, notably “Cariño”, which samples Cuban percussionist Mongo Santamaria’s “Sofrito” to impressive effect. It goes badly wrong on the “La Isla Bonita” sound-a-like, “Ain’t It Funny”, which merely serves to reinforce the impression that Lopez is happy to settle for being the latino Madonna.

Although 95 per cent of the Ultra Records and Thrivemix CD’s are very enjoyable, this single disc CD is somewhat boring. It has a couple of good songs but, your money will be better spent on Ultra Dance 09. If you like the Ultra Records and Thrivemix CD’s you will be very happy with the Ultra Dance 09 CD. After a couple of weak releases Ultra had to release something good, and they did! Ultra Dance 09 gets 5 stars. One of Ultra Records best. As for Thrivemix, they have released many fine CD’s Just pick one! Even Total Dance 2008 isn’t terrible, but it isn’t their best either. Enough said!

Five were a band who will allways be remembered for changing the way we see “Boybands”. they didnt mime, sit on stools or wear matchin outfits. instead they sang rocky songs and had very few ballads.
this album summarizies the work of this amazing band from classics like “We will Rock You” and “Slam Dunk da Funk” to softer ballads like the gorgeous Until the Time is Through”. this album also contains 3 new tracks! “Set me Free” a poppy song with Ritchie and Scott on leads, “When I Remember When” also has Ritchie and Scott on leads and the amazing remix of “Keep on movin”.

Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga is the sixth album from Austin-based indie rock band Spoon, released on July 10, 2007. Its cover art comes from a portrait of artist/sculptor Lee Bontecou, taken by Italian photographer Ugo Mulas in 1963. The completed sculpture on the right is now in the collection of the Honolulu Academy of Arts.

The album’s title is the former title for the song “The Ghost of You Lingers”, which was meant to sound like the song’s staccato piano part. The band changed the name to the song, but decided to adopt the name “Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga” as the album title, with Britt Daniel calling it a “great little Dadaist term.”

An iTunes-exclusive bonus track, “Deep Clean”, was packaged with Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga. A limited edition copy of the album was released along with a bonus disc entitled Get Nice! The disc includes 23 minutes of mostly instrumental songs, and also a few demo tracks. Early buyers of the album also received a free 7″ containing a demo of “The Underdog”, and the B-side “It Took a Rumor to Make Me Wonder, Now I’m Convinced I’m Going Under”, which previously appeared on the UK edition of the “Sister Jack” single.

The album debuted at number 10 on the Billboard 200 and number 1 on the Billboard Top Independent Albums, selling 46,000 copies in its first week. This album was #10 on Rolling Stone’s list of the Top 50 Albums of 2007. The album was also #7 on Pitchfork Media’s top 50 Albums of 2007.

Preceding the elaborate 2005 reissues of Eurythmics’ eight proper albums by a month, The Ultimate Collection narrowly trumps 1991’s Greatest Hits since it features remastered sound and a more extensive track list. While it does not contain “Don’t Ask Me Again,” opting to instead select a couple merely decent highlights from 1999’s Peace, two new (unplanned) recordings add value for any kind of fan. Bookending the disc, “I’ve Got a Life” is powerful disco-pop with Annie Lennox strongly present over a bursting multi-tiered arrangement, while the relatively low-key “Was It Just Another Affair” has more in common with late-period Everything But the Girl. Both songs pleasingly sound the way Eurythmics should sound in 2005. The rest of the disc leans toward the duo’s peak of popularity, 1985’s Be Yourself Tonight and the following year’s Revenge, while the remainder of the albums — with the exception of the unrepresented In the Garden, the debut — chime in with two or three songs each. A truly ultimate collection would contain two discs and dig deeper into some of the best album cuts, rather than rely on charting singles, but this disc will sufficiently satisfy the casual fans who just want the songs they know and love.

Survivor’s Greatest Hits, a bare-bones, ten-song collection, was released in 1989 and quickly disappeared — vanished, out of print. It was later replaced by an identically titled 12-song collection in 1993 that is far superior because it includes “American Heartbeat” — the other hit from 1982’s Eye of the Tiger album — as well as lyrics and basic liner notes. Neither compilation includes any photos, which reinforces the cruel critical notion that this Chicago pop/rock quintet was yet another faceless AOR act. Other U.S.-based bands lumped in this “corporate rock” category included Foreigner, Journey, REO Speedwagon, and Styx. Survivor was perhaps the most painful example of this tag because vocalist Dave Bickler, who left after 1983’s Caught in the Game, was replaced by Jimi Jamison and nobody really noticed the difference. Their voices are virtually indistinguishable from each other. Bickler sang lead on “Eye of the Tiger,” an all-time classic single, but Jamison tallied more big hits. Seven songs overlap on both collections, and they are the obvious choices: “Eye of the Tiger,” “High on You,” “I Can’t Hold Back,” “Is This Love,” “Poor Man’s Son,” “Burning Heart,” and “The Search Is Over.” The 1989 set also includes “Desperate Dreams” and “How Much Love,” which are both pleasant, if slight, uptempo tunes, and the piano-based ballad “Man Against the World.”

Everything But the Girl has always consisted of singer Tracey Thorn and instrumentalist Ben Watt, but the pair’s sound radically transformed over the years. They began in the early 1980s as purveyors of quiet, jazzy folk-pop. By the mid-’90s, they had fully embraced dance music and electronica, incorporating drum-and-bass and trip-hop into their moody style. Watt’s recovery from a rare, life-threatening illness gave the group itself a new lease on life, and they ended the ’90s as relevant as they were at the beginning of their career.
