    Editorial Review

    Friends' fourth season, one of the very best and most consistently satisfying, begins with Chandler urinating on Monica's leg to relieve a jellyfish sting. It ends with the two in bed and in lust. In between are several benchmark episodes and rich, character-enriching plot developments that keep this series from coasting on comfort level. Phoebe (Lisa Kudrow) agrees to become a surrogate mother for her long-lost brother (Giovanni Ribisi). Chandler (Matthew Perry) "crosses the line" after falling in love with Joey's girlfriend, and is forced to spend one memorable Thanksgiving in a box. Rachel (Jennifer Aniston in what should have been her Emmy year) desperately pursues the recently divorced Joshua (then real-life squeeze Tate Donovan). Joey (Matt LeBlanc) and Chandler trade spaces with Monica (Courtney Cox) and Rachel, and then, with provocative (albeit offscreen) sapphic compensation, return to their humble abode. And Ross meets the warm and wonderful Emily (Helen Baxendale), setting the stage for a London wedding and classic season finale that revitalizes our rooting interest in the whole Ross and Rachel thing.Especially jolly good in this two-parter are the scene-stealing British character actors, including Hugh Laurie as the unfortunate airline passenger seated next to Rachel as she wings toward London to tell Ross she loves him ("And by the way, it seems to be perfectly clear that you were on a break," he tries to reason with her), and Tom Conti and an absolutely fabulous Jennifer Saunders as Emily's squabbling parents. As Friends winds down, it is a pleasure to return to one of its glory years. --Donald Liebenson ... Read more

    5-0 out of 5 stars Friends Season 4: A Wedding and The Surrogate Woman
    This season is regarded by many as the Friends strongest ever, and this is also my choice for the show's best season ever. It's just I love the whole feel of this season, very settling and "homy" but also fresh in terms of the storylines they did. This is the season where Phoebe became the surrogate mother of her brother's baby, Chandler and Joey fight over a girl, Ross wedding to Emily and of course the genesis of Monica and Chandler's romance. It's just pure perfection.

    Standouts episodes are TOW the Embryos (one of the very best episodes of the series), TOW the Fake Party (Aniston's comic highlight of the season), TOW Chandler in a Box (memorable for Le blanc and Perry), TOW Joey's New Girlfriend (Lisa Kudrow's storyline was hilarious, she stole the episode), Tow the Jellyfish, TOW the Cuffs, and the London finale TOW Ross' Wedding (London baby!!!)

    My favorite Friends storyline of all time is Phoebe getting pregnant. I know that it was done to accommodate Lisa Kudrow's real life pregnancy at that time but the surrogate storyline is just pure genius because the idea of it screams PHOEBE. It's just something Phoebe would do, that storyline add depth to her character. Chandler and Joey also had a character growth moment when the fought over a girl. Even though it had hilarious interludes, one cannot deny the true emotions some of those scenes brought.

    Grade: A+

    5-0 out of 5 stars Consistently one of the best TV shows of the 1990s...
    Along with Seinfeld and Frasier, Friends dominated the must-see TV of the 1990's. Winner of innumerable television awards, the show features the lives of six friends in their late-twenties/early-thirties living in New York City - Monica Geller (Courteney Cox), Phoebe Buffay (Lisa Kudrow), Rachel Green (Jennifer Aniston), Ross Geller (David Schwimmer), Joey Tribbiani (Matt LeBlanc), and Chandler Bing (Matthew Perry). The six friends spend the majority of their time in a coffee house named "Central Perk" or in either Monica's apartment or Joey and Chandler's apartment.

    The Friends (Season 4) DVD offers a number of hilarious episodes. In episode 80, Chandler shares a passionate kiss with Joey's new girlfriend, Kathy. The incident threatens to ruin his friendship with Joey, but Kathy and Chandler eventually end up together. Meanwhile, Phoebe agrees to become a surrogate mother so that her brother and sister-in-law can have children. In a later episode, Rachel fixes Ross up with her boss's niece Emily. The two hit it off and decide to get married, but during the wedding vows, Ross inadvertently calls Emily "Rachel"...

    The DVD Report

    2-0 out of 5 stars Too many booms, not enough bang!!
    Season 4 of the phenominal Friends' series certainly was not the high point of this show's ten-year stint. Briefly, the humor was dry and awkward, with almost every one of Chandler's lines coming totally from some uneasy self-consciousness. Typically, this season's humor made me want to cringe. Clearly, something significant had taken place this season in the directorial area. Also: what was up with all the boom mikes!? ... Read more

    Editorial Review

    For a band with such an overarching legacy, the official record of Led Zeppelin's legendary--and unpredictable--live act has heretofore been poorly represented by the disappointing, scattershot soundtrack to The Song Remains the Same. But this triple-disc live set (culled from 1972 Long Beach/LA shows in advance of Houses of the Holy) addresses history with a vengeance, if a few decades late. These shows have rightfully assumed cult status in the bootleg market, showcasing a band at the peak of its creative and performing powers. Zep faithful will welcome the belated release as evidence for enduring loyalty, but younger fans may find its diversity and dynamics even more enlightening--indeed, whole careers have since been built on the musical ideas Jimmy Page and company toss off here as decorative filler. Crucially rooted in the amped-and-hammered American blues of the guitarist's former band, the Yardbirds, the marathon workouts of"Dazed and Confused" and "Whole Lotta Love" (which consume nearly an hour all by themselves) somehow encompass Ricky Nelson, Morocco, James Brown, Holst,Elvis Presley, and Muddy Waters amidst their trademark sturm und drang, while the acoustic set that closes out disc one showcases the band's--and particularly Robert Plant's--good-natured, crypto-Celtic folk appeal with energetic aplomb. Bigger and brasher than just about any rock act that followed in its historic wake, yet ever fan-loyal to its myriad influences, Led Zeppelin's live juggernaut finally gets the monument it deserves. --Jerry McCulley ...

    Editorial Review

    It is not just the timbre of Norah Jones's voice that is mature beyond her 22 years. Her assured phrasing and precise time are more often found in older singers as well. She is instantly recognizable, blending shades of Billie Holiday and Nina Simone without sounding like anyone but herself. Any way you slice it, she is a singer to be reckoned with. Her readings of the Hank Williams classic "Cold Cold Heart" and Hoagy Carmichael's "The Nearness of You" alone are worth the price of the CD. Jones's own material, while not bad, pales a bit next to such masterpieces. They might have fared better had she and producer Arif Mardin opted for some livelier arrangements, taking better advantage of brilliant sidemen such as Bill Frisell, Kevin Breit, and Brian Blade; or if the tunes had simply been given less laconic performances. Jones has all the tools; what will come with experience and some careful listening to artists like J.J. Cale and Shirley Horn is the knack of remaining low-key without sounding sleepy--sometimes less is not, in fact, more. --Michael Ross ... Read more

    5-0 out of 5 stars Excellent CD!
    This is an excellent disc. If you like this, you should also listen to Katie Melua's CD "Call Off the Search".

    2-0 out of 5 stars (Mood Music)Put on some N. Jones and light a candle.
    This kind of music is made for sentualists- (not of the higher order though).
    Norah's voice is just like Diana Krall's, mono and one dementional; just the kind of recipe for listeners who believe they have good taste.
    Norah will probibly keep making the same kind of albums for the rest of her life, but at least her presence will satisfy the need for this kind of music.

    5-0 out of 5 stars oh sooo mellow, baby
    Norah got like 7 someodd emmys for this album, and she and the producers earned it. nothing like it. OK, she reminds me of a white Nina Simone. sultry, soft, sexy, and - well - mellow. love it. i play this CD at work and everyone loves it. in fact if there is a day that all the customers are being poopy - we put the CD on to calm every one down, and yes, it works!!good for fussy husbands too (sorry, hunk man, the love of my life!) ...

    Editorial Review

    The great Willie Nelson tends to either thrill or sorely disappoint, depending on the kinds of projects he takes on--and his decision to be either a musician or a celebrity. This live recording, culled from his 2003 USA Network concert event, unfortunately falls into the latter category, and Nelson sounds as if he arrived just before show time and plunged in without rehearsing. On the album’s opener, "I Didn't Come Here (And I Ain't Leavin')," almost everything is wrong--the chorines, the overwhelming bigness of the production, and most troublesome, Nelson's apparent indifference. Thereafter, the program pairs him with such natural duet partners as Toby Keith and Ray Price, and such utterly unfathomable ones as Steven Tyler and Wyclef Jean, who prove, by turns, unlistenable and insufferable. While Diana Krall and Elvis Costello help give "Crazy" an odd and new kind of charm, Nelson's off-beat phrasing is just to quirky to work with Paul Simon's laconic musings ("Homeward Bound"), while the outing with Ray Charles and Leon Russell ("A Song for You") sounds like a cat-drowning ceremony. Weirdly, the best songs are those on which Nelson simply gets out of the way (John Mellencamp's bottleneck romp through "I Couldn't Believe It Was True," Kenny Chesney's soulful treatment of "Last Thing I Needed First Thing This Morning"). Thank God it's only a single disc. --Alanna Nash ... Read more

    4-0 out of 5 stars The legend singing it with friends
    Willie Nelson is a legend and this CD proves it again. here are performances of a great artist who's enjoying his music with some of the great talents of today. it's great listening to great friends of Willie interpreting his music in their own ways. I think it's a great album giving us great music we all know in a little different and up to date way. enjoy!!!

    4-0 out of 5 stars Willie sings with anyone and everyone
    Let me say upfront that I love Willie Nelson, and I believe him to be a national treasure and one of our greatest living storytellers/poets.The setting for this recording is Willie's 70th birthday.As Toby Keith mentioned on the original USA television version, "Willie may not look 70, but we sure remember when he did."

    What makes this CD unique is that it features a very eclectic mix of musicians accompanying Willie in versions of popular songs (both his and theirs).The songs with Paul Simon, Eric Clapton and Ray Charles/Leon Russell provide entertaining performances that are also important moments in music history.It would be like having a recording of Lennon and Hendrix singing together.

    Willie has recorded with everyone from Frank Sinatra to Janis Joplin.So, it is not a surprise that some of his guests on this CD may seem strange (Steven Tyler and Wyclef Jean). While many say his voice doesn't work with more polished singers, I think he provides an interesting contrast to the silky vocals of Norah Jones and Dianne Krall.

    There seems to be a common theme among the positive and negative reviews on here: the positive reviews contain references to the television broadcast that proceeded the release of this CD and the negative ones do not. This seems to suggest the experience of listening to the music is heightened by viewing the live performances, and I agree.

    3-0 out of 5 stars Still Kickin', Nelson remains constantly on tour.
    Recorded over a Two-day period and originally aired on the USA network last Memorial Day, Live and Kickin' shows Willie Nelson at the top of his career. He is joined onstage by Eric Clapton, Ray Charles, Wyclef Jean, Elvis Costello, Paul Simon, and ZZ Top to name a few. The album is a plethora of musical exploration, showing different sides of Nelson as a musician, and proving that he is as dynamic as they come. He appeals to diehard country fans, but Homeward Bound with Paul Simon is closer to folk, and To All The Girl's I Loved Before with Wyclef is more along the lines of Reggae. The solo tracks could only be described as haunting and tortured in a twangy sort of way. The immense crowds' reaction hangs on to every one of his words, honoring him like the accomplished road-veteran he is. ... Read more

    Editorial Review

    Although it seemed the Boss had put writing rock anthems behind him after Born in the U.S.A., his longtime fans knew if any artist could write anthems addressing September 11, 2001, and not make them sound jingoistic, it would be Bruce Springsteen. The numerous anthems on his much-anticipated first full-length album with the E Street Band in 18 years are subtler than those of the Born to Run era. But the elements are all there: the joyous rocking strains of "Countin' on a Miracle," "Mary's Place," and "Waitin' on a Sunny Day"; the dark overtones of "Further on Up the Road"; the stunning guitar solo that closes "Worlds Apart," a dramatic Arabic-tinged piece detailing star-crossed love between a Muslim and an "infidel." Although most of these songs deal with death and tragedy, they still inspire. But while the lyrics are intriguing, what's more remarkable is how well The Rising works as epic rock & roll as it draws from rockabilly, soul, doo-wop hard rock, country, and even industrial. To skewer a cliché, when The Rising is good, it's great. And even when it's not great, it's still awfully good. --Bill Holdship ... Read more

    1-0 out of 5 stars Revised Titles: Let's Be Friends, Osama; Countin' on a 911!!

    Springsteen slyly masks himself as the "quintessential all-American/blue-collar guy" with impersonations of dressing in T-shirts, jeans, pretexting to embody the image of a "working-class" "hard-worker", and imitating a pro-America, made-in-America "patriot"!!!! Yet, ominously, inspecting his slippery behind-the-scenes maneuvers, it's uncleanly divulged Springsteen is a terrorist-sympathizing, enemy-emboldening, UN-obedient, Old-Europe-submitting, America-blaming, soldier-degrading, war-dissuading KOMMIE!!!! He's ingloriously succumbed to the crumbling point all "artists" inevitably degrade to, plausibly caused by all "artists'" uncontrollable instability derived from hallucinatory drugging, a hardened endorsement of communistic, perilous, FAR-LEFT misjudgments!!!! Views such as those are also shared by the typified, blameworthy enemy stigmatized as the mentally ill, remorselessly undereducated, prone-to-lapses-in-reason "artist" who also hazardously empathizes with Arab suicide

    1-0 out of 5 stars Come On Up For Mediocrity!!!!
    Bruce hasn't has a good album since Tunnel of Love.He has become nothing more than a puppet for all his Left-Wing friends in Hollywood... and why the critics keep inflating his ego is beyond me.If you want songs about real people and real America then listen to anything from any Country Music artist.If you want some abstract idea of an America gone wrong because it hasn't gone down the path of Socialism like Western Europe then Springsteen is your man.He once inspired me.He has now become a joke.He fired the E-Street Band, moved to California back in the early 90's... since then he has lost his talent.Do us a favor, Bruce... Please just go away now.1984-85 was a wonderful ride.Your moment in the sun has long passed. Listening to The Rising and Devils & Dust has confirmed this.No matter who you bring in for production it doesn't take away the mediocrity of your work.Let us remember when you related to us "blue collar" souls... Let us enjoy being that guy, driving in that car or motorcycle, wandering if we will get the girl... Listening to you self-elect yourself for Mexican Immigration issues, singing about being a Hero during 9/11 (can I point out in Dave Marsh's Bio, Born to Run, that you avoided the draft, going as far to say you were even gay... isn't that a no-no now in the Left circle you are a part of now???)Yes, let us sing about hypocrisy of self-deluded hacks who claim to know all what is wrong with America because it doesn't fall in place of their own whacked idealogy!Hey, great job with the falsetto voice on Devils & Dust... I'm glad to hear that you fired the E-Street band so you can try something new... hasn't worked yet... but you keep on going... Country Music is the real American voice.Go away, please.

    Editorial Review

    Exclamations of religious awe are in order. Legendary and long sought-after, this live Led Zeppelin collection is nothing less than the rock music equivalent of the Holy Grail. Quite simply, this is what all the fuss was about.

    Given that they were the biggest band in the world, Zeppelin were notoriously camera-shy in their heyday. Their official filmic legacy until now has been just the fascinating but flawed The Song Remains the Same. While this new set presents some previously unseen footage from the same 1973 Madison Square Garden gigs, its real wonders lie in the earlier (1970) Royal Albert Hall footage and the later Earls Court (1975) and Knebworth (1979) concerts. Everything here looks and sounds new-minted, thanks to painstaking restoration and remastering of both audio and visual sources, a Herculean labor of love on the part of co-producer Dick Carruthers working hand-in-glove with Jimmy Page. Trawling through thousands of yards of previously unseen film and unheard tape recordings--some with missing visuals, some with missing audio--Page and Carruthers have chosen only the best possible footage available. They were also at pains to make the segments segue seamlessly so that the viewer is treated to what feels like a continuous concert--just sample the transition from a grainy Super 8 "Immigrant Song" (Sydney, 1972) to "Black Dog" at MSG.

    Highlights? It's not hyperbole to say that every powerhouse minute of this collection (some 230 minutes of concert footage plus another hour and a half of extra DVD material) is a rare musical and visual treat. But hearing Page's violin bow work on "Dazed and Confused" in DTS or Dolby 5.1 is an experience not soon forgotten. --Mark Walker ... Read more

    3-0 out of 5 stars Why Jimmy Why?
    Yes, many of the performances on this DVD set are simply phenomenal. Yes the sound, even for the older performances, is outstanding. But why did Jimmy Page find it necessary to muck up the footage with cheesy "effects" that do nothing but detract from the performances and irritate the viewer?

    The jumpy quick cuts that have been added in the production of this DVD are I suppose an attempt to make the footage more up to date, or-dare I say it-"hip". But even jump cuts are now about 10 years out of date, mainly because they distract from the performances and irritate the viewer (imagine that). The only performers who insist on using this techniques are dinosaurs like Paul McCartney and, unfortunately, Led Zeppelin in this DVD.

    I can only hope it was Jimmy Page who visited this mutilation on the original Zep footage. If it was some technical hack trying to make his mark I can only say-butt out! The performances stand on their own as rock masterpieces. We Zep fans don't need your "genius" screwing things up. For crying out loud I thought everyone learned that after Ted Turner's attempts to "update" classic films by defacing them with colorization.

    5-0 out of 5 stars Inspiration, No Fluff
    Other positive reviewers have already laid the foundation for how excellent this DVD set is. I will only add that it makes one pine for the days when bands inspired audiences with talent, not elaborate hip girations, flashing lights and smoke. These guys simply played good original music and carried on. The song remains the same, as it were.
    I will also add, as a guitar player, that Jimmy Paige's solo of "White Summer/Black Morning" is reason enough to own this DVD set. After watching that, I felt a new inspiration to improve my own playing.

    5-0 out of 5 stars My First And Best DVD
    This was the very first DVD I bought. I think that this is my best live DVD I have. Led Zeppelin was maybe the best live band in 70's. This DVD gives a good picture what kind of it was in Led Zeppelin's concerts. Both discs are full of great live prformances. The first DVD has an excellent gig in Royal Albert Hall. The vocalist Robert Plant, John Bonham, John Paul Jones, and especially the guitarist Jimmy Page are great in the gigs. Jimmy Page is one of the best guitarists in the world and it is shown in this DVD. They were just starting the carriere but already now they were better than most of the legendary bands. The instrumental "White Summer" as well as the rare tracks "Something Else" and "C'mon Everybody" are real treats. The second disc has "Immigrant Song" and three great gigs in their later years. I like most the 1973's Madison Square Garden gig...although there is only four songs but their are very energic in that gig. Also Earls Court in 1975 is somethin' worth mentioning...it is an acoustic gig mainly...it's always great to hear "Bron-Yr-Aur Stomp" and "Stairway to Heaven". But also the last gig Knebworth 1979 gig is great. The songs "Sick Again" and "In My Time of Dying" are the highlights.

    Editorial Review

    Give Shania Twain points for honesty. Up!, her first new release in five years, offers both pop and country versions of the same 19 songs, the red disc boasting pop renditions while the green proffers country. It's a smart idea, since it allows Twain the freedom to dress a song in whatever arrangements and instrumentation she pleases--without setting herself up for criticism as to whether Canada's Queen of the Bare Midriff spat on the Holy Grail of Nashville. Often, the only difference is the substitution of pedal steel, fiddle, and banjo for strings, guitars, and keyboards. In these situations, where she employs the same riffs and melodic strains, the country version usually pales in comparison; however, the green disc wins on those songs where the subject matter hits closer to home, especially the unwed mother tune "I Ain't Goin' Down." Twain was never truly a country singer--she was merely marketed that way--and her red disc particularly pleases, while making no excuses. She is what she is: a perky lounge singer with a calculatedly honeyed voice, a penchant for inane lyrics--often about absolutely nothing--and, in tandem with her husband, Mutt Lange, a masterful command of rhythm, production, and mood. ("I'm Gonna Getcha Good!" is confection perfection.) There's something oddly hypnotic about much of this project, and it may be simply hearing what Shania can do when she abandons the pretense of being a country singer and concentrates on music. Call this a guilty pleasure--pop, country, or somewhere in between. --Alanna Nash ... Read more

    5-0 out of 5 stars Shania's best so far!
    This is a truly great album, I definatly consider it to be Shania's best work so far artistically. Shania touches some nice subjects with songs like She's Not Just A Pretty Face, Ka-Ching, What A Way To Wanna Be, Juanita, I Ain't Goin Down etc. Great exceptional songwriting by Shania!
    Of course Shania would never abandon her amazing ability to create great uplifting songs and beautiful ballads either, songs like Up!, I'm Gonna Getcha Good, In My Car, I'm Not In The Mood, Thank You Baby are always great songs to listen to and truly beautiful ballads such as Forever And For Always, It Only Hurts and When You Kiss Me help make this 19 track album a nice mix of back to back great music!

    Production is also top notch, each disk was recorded with authentic musical arrangements and there are 2 seperate CD's in the package, each with a different unique sound so you get more then your monies worth!
    A must have for any Shania fan and something I would consider every other true music fan out there to look into.

    5-0 out of 5 stars The absolute ultimate in music of any kind
    I must say, I've heard MANY singers in my lifetime, but none come even remotely close in talent to Shania Twain. She has one of the most incredible voices I have ever heard. Her voice has a very large range of notes she can hit, and very well I might add. She has an incredible tone to her voice, and perfect lyrics to go with it. There are all sorts of different types of songs to put someone in a good mood on any of her albums. (Though I must admit, I prefer her own original songs that she and her husband wrote, than other songs that, for example, Cher did.) I believe it's also worth adding that these songs have -- ABSOLUTELY NOTHING UNSUITABLE FOR CHILDREN IN --. People of all ages can enjoy this music. I hope this review was helpful to you, thank you.

    5-0 out of 5 stars Shania is the Top selling female artist of all time, period!
    It's amusing to read the negative comments about Shania in this forum. They sound like music critics from the Nashville good olde boys network who can't stand that a Canadian FEMALE artist has sold more CD's than every country male artist ever born.

    Up! has great songs like "Forever And For Always"; "Thank You Baby!" (with 40 piece orchestra); "When You Kiss Me"... as for "silly" songs/lyrics these critics poke at, they were meant to be funny and entertaining like "In My Car" and "Waiter! Bring Me Water! Lighten UP! and LOL! BTW, Up! has sold over 11 million to date.

    I would recommend buying the Up! DVD performed live in Chicago at Grant Park. Shania's live concerts have few equals by a male or female or group artists. Just watch the audience of 50,000 loving this concert... including all ages: 10/20/30/40/50 somethings.

    Sorry, Shania critics, (...) you don't sell well over 60 million CD's worldwide (and still counting) cause you have a voice that is aggravating (to this forums critics), and silly lyrics. Many "true or pure" country songs have WAY more stupid stuff in their lyrics...so as Shania twangs "DON'T BE STUPID!" (Dear Critics). ... Read more

    Editorial Review

    Better known as the "White Album," this was meant to be the record that brought them back to earth after three years of studio experimentation. Instead, it took them all over the place, continuing to burst the envelope of pop music. Lennon and McCartney were still at the height of their powers, with Lennon in particular growing into one of rock's towering figures. But even McCartney could still rock, and the amazement on "Helter Skelter" was that he had vocal cords at the end. From Beach Boys knock-offs to reggae and to the unknown ("Revolution #9"), this has it all. Some records have legend written all over them; this is one. --Chris Nickson ... Read more

    3-0 out of 5 stars Extremely over rated
    They really really really were losing there craft by the time they came out with this self-indulgent excuse for a album.




    This should have been a single album rather then a double album, Want a good Beatles album. Pick up Rubber Soul or Magical Mystery Tour.I think the Digimon movie soundtrack is better. Becuse digimon is cool

    5-0 out of 5 stars Another Beatles Classic
    "The White Album" is one of the best Beatles albums, it was actually released without a name but called "White Album" by most, it's a double with loads of the most fantastic songs and some quite forgettable aswell, but still it would be hard to not give it 5 stars looking at the great songs it did deliver.

    This album pretty much got it all for everyone. "Back In the USSR" with the boys singing in russian and joking with the Beach Boys, the humorous "Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da", "Continuing Story of Bungalow Bill" that is unique and Harrison's psychedelic masterpiece "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" where Eric Clapton plays the guitar. "Martha My Dear" and "Blackbird" are both decent Paul songs here. Lennon's psychedelic protest "Happiness Is a Warm Gun" got some good lines and riffs for sure. The ballad "Julia" is very nice as a closer of album 1.

    Disc 2 got the blues inspired Lennon song "Yer Blues", odd but good. Harrison's midtempo ballas "Long Long Long" and rocker "Savoy Shuffle", "Everybody's Got Something To Hide Except Me And My Monkey", despite it's odd title it's one of the best song of this album, it's both catchy and cool. Midtempo Lennon song "Sexy Sadie" and Paul's rocker "Helter Skelter" is a classic ofcourse and probably among the tougher songs he ever wrote. "Revolution1" was a great hit and is another midtempo Lennon protest song. Ringo sings "Goodnight" as the closer, and it is indeed a beautiful ending of a great album.

    Overall. Great album, got some odd songs here and there but the hits talks for themselves. A bit too long perhaps, but I'm glad it was all released at once. Should have.

    5-0 out of 5 stars "White" is right
    I was never a fan of Beatles. I grew up (like the rest of) being aurally assualted by them during every television docu-drama, in every elevator, amidst every familiy road trip. By the time I formed my own musical opinions, I was utterly turned off to anything Beatles so I'll be the first to admit that this cultural inundation prevented me from listening to their music with anything close to a fresh ear. For reasons I cant explain, I re-examined them toward the end of High School. I listened to all the records I was familiar with, namely everything before the White Album and I was impressed. They came up with one adorable melody after another, and paired them with simple lyrical conciets that scanned almost perfectly. None of the music gave me any visceral feeling of musical fulfillment but I must say that there were moments during Sgt. Pepper and Magical Mystery Tour that came damn close.

    A couple months later, I heard the White Album during (gee-wiz) a road trip. I recognized some songs (Ob-la-di, USSR, Blackbird) but most of it was entirely new to me. By the fifth track I began to get that feeling. What I found in the White Album was an intesity and vibrance that was missing from every other Beatles CD (Abbey Road has since become my second favorite). The thing that amazed me most was how or why Lennon and McCartney waited this long to start singing their songs with some fricken balls. There are pre-White Album moments mostly on Lennon tracks like "I am the Walrus," or "A Day in the Life" but thats just what they are, moments. The first disc starts off kind of lukewarm but picks up almost immediately with "Dear Prudence" and doesn't really begin to let up until near the end. To be sure, there are plently of weak spots: "Ob-la-di," "Dont Pass me by," "Birthday," "I Will," "Long Long Long," "Revolution #9," "Good Night" which is why most people are quick to critisize this opus since most Beatles albums dont have "weak spots." Then again, most Beatles albums dont even come close to the White Albums high points of which there are plenty. Harrisons compositions are generally weaker but succeed (for the most part) on sheer ingenuity. Ringo's song is a good effort but pretty disposable. But even McCartney who provides most of the albums cheese, pulls "Helter Skelter" out of his hat which is quite possibly the greatest Beatles recording I've ever heard. Each song on the album displays an interesting musical idea and is worth listening to but in the end, the album belongs to Lennon. Every one of his tracks (with the exception of his lengthy Cagian exercise) hits the mark. He succeeds on song after song at being personal, witty, and utterly euphonious all at the same time and he seems to do it more effortlessly than any other Beatle. Thats not to say he didn't struggle with his compositions. Songwriting is hard work even for a musical genius. Lennons specific genius is his ability to compose songs which SEEM effortless and natural as opposed to McCartney's more contrived approach. Nowhere is this temperamental difference more apparent than on the White Album which is one explaination for why its completely schizo.

    This lack of coherence provides most of the fuel for White Album detractors who just cant seem to accept the arguement that the very absence of a unifying concept is, in itself, a concept. This was an experimental album in more ways than one in that it SEEMS to force the listener into a song by song experience SEEMINGLY providing a stark contrast to Abbey Road which is nothing if nota cohesive whole. I believe The White Album can be experienced the same way, though. That is, in fact, why we call it the White Album. Or more accurately, that is why the Beatles didn't give it a real name and made the cover white. You sit back and listen to an array of songs (colors) which are very different (blue, yellow, green, red) when experienced seperately but can also be experienced together as well (white-assuming these colors are light based) thus bringing the listener into a trance-like meditative state--and the Indian influence thus rears its ugly head. In this way, all the supposed filler and mediocre songs serve a purpose. Epstiens death and the ensuing lack of leadership is not the unfortunate cause of the White Album as many people are wont to claim. The Beatles were perfectly capable of not making silly crap like "Wild Honey Pie," "Piggies," or "Martha my Dear." They where perfectly capable of opting for a single disc full of grandiose themes and top 40 hits. Instead they chose to make one of the greatest CDs of all time ... Read more

    Editorial Review

    Annie Lennox's first album of original songs in 11 years on is a stylish tour de force that showcases the former Eurythmics chanteuse in all her chilly, shimmering splendor. Her formidable voice is still a supple and intriguing instrument, lithely shape-shifting between emotions, personas, and musical forms. Lennox moves effortlessly from the sparse and pristine lament of "A Thousand Beautiful Things" to the deceptively simple "Pavement Cracks," a solemn ballad that is transformed by electro dance beats that recall some of the best of the Eurythmics. But Lennox's quixotic voice is best utilized as an old-school soul instrument; she makes a metaphoric journey to Motown on "Hurting Time," a reflective ballad could have been lifted off a Miracles album. "Honesty," shows the Scottish diva at her well-mannered best, occupying the same sophisticated space formerly held by Carly Simon. --Jaan Uhelszki ... Read more

    4-0 out of 5 stars Not everyones gets it.
    I was quite taken with this cd. It must be hard to compete with your own past and I think some of the negative reviews are from those who loved Ms. Lennox's prior cd's. This one is harder to float along with I would have to agree with that. BUT. The middle songs on this cd "Loneliness" and "Saddest song" blend together in a brilliance that surpasses any weakness one might argue it has. Annie is a fantastic artist and she has much to offer - don't be afraid to jump in these deep waters "bare" .

    3-0 out of 5 stars Sometimes It's Good To Not Be Totally Bare-Cover up!
    I've always been a big fan of Lennox's voice and persona.Her first solo CD, DIVA, is one of my favorite albums, and her follow-up MEDUSA has grown on me over the years.

    This time though, while I admire the artistry and groove on the voice, something about this project leaves me detached and uninterested.

    With the exception of "A Thousand Beautiful Things", "Wonderful" and "Pavement Cracks", I don't think this is a very strong album.

    Then again, maybe Lennox is trying to reach me and I'm just not ready to listen to what she has to say?I have to admit that since I've bought this album (over a year ago), I do return to it often and try to get into it, but so far, as a whole, I have not been able to.I'm intrigued by it for sure, but I don't enjoy it.

    However, the dance remixes of "A Thousand Beautiful Things", "Wonderful" and "Pavement Cracks" are truly joyful and they are what brought me back to the original tracks in the first place and now I find I like the originals more, but do I need to have dance remixes of all the songs in order to like the whole album? Something must be wrong with this if that's the case.

    Who knows if time and/or maturity will help me understand what Lennox is trying to deliver with this set, but whatever happens, I do know that admiration alone is not enough to make an album successful.

    There has to be some joy somewhere.

    Editorial Review

    To call Celine Dion predictable would be too easy--other divas should be so lucky to still be walking her platinum path. As Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey struggle to update their sounds without losing their core following, Celine keeps on delivering power ballads and inspirational pop without ever losing her footing. What sets One Heart apart from her previous chart-toppers is an unrelenting theme of joy and believing in one's self. From the car-commercial-driven tempo of "I Drove All Night" (Dion's equivalent to Cher's "Believe") to the "power of one" message in "Love is All We Need," the album bristles with an upbeat mood that--even for non-fans--can be hard to resist (it's important to note that there is no chest-thumping heartbreak here). Small concessions to staying in step with pop trends appear on the dance-floor tracks (which bring to mind Shania Twain and even Britney Spears), but ballads like "In His Touch" and "Have You Ever Been in Love" stick to the tried-and-true formula of allowing Dion's impressive voice to take center stage. As she settles in for an extended stay at Caesar's Palace in Las Vegas, One Heart is both well timed and well executed. It contains no surprises, but then, besides her voice, that's one of Dion's biggest assets. --Rebecca Wallwork ... Read more

    This is another masterpiece by Celine Dion. She is one of the greatest artists alive and no Canadian artist, not Shania Twain, or Alanis Morissette or Sarah Mclachlan, can match her vocally.My sister borrowed this album from the library and well, let me just say I'm glad she did cause this is such a great and beautiful collection of songs. Nearly every song on this album is perfect and her amazing vocals make it sound even better. Vocally, she is in the league with other megastars such as Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey, Diana Ross, Aretha Franklin, Barbra Streisand and Christina Aguilera. If you are a fan of Celine Dion or just great music in general, buy this album cuz you won't be disappointed.

    Editorial Review

    Underneath all Christine Aguilera's coy affectations and vocal gymnastics lurks a rare talent. With her second album, Aguilera allows it to flower by abandoning all pretense at courting the teenage market. Stripped is a seemingly effortless move into weightier adult territory. Using her extraordinary voice as a much subtler instrument, Aguilera sings movingly and with grit and anger about the disintegration of a relationship; she's ultimately stronger for the pain. But that's not her whole agenda. Aguilera also extols the power of women on "Can't Hold Us Down," which features Lil' Kim. Other guests include Dave Navarro, Redman, and Alicia Keys. Aguilera cowrote most of the songs on the disc and produced one cut. She also partnered with former 4 Non Blondes leader and Pink collaborator Linda Perry on four songs, which gives Aguilera a rock edge that she has never before displayed. --Jaan Uhelszki ...

    I've seen everyone agrees with me here when I say this is Christina's best album yet....well, almost everyone. Some people are very immature and pick on her for her image; a "dirty", "wild" girl with no "class". Since when in the music would did appearence matter? It's talent that counts and that's what Christina is; pure talent.

    Anyone who disses on this album is truly a fool and are missing out on some of the best music around. None of her songs fall short and will forever remain beautiful to our ears. She has both dance and slow jams that will promise to please you. I admit, her dirrty song is a bit, well, dirty. But why can't you put that aside? Every other song on this album builds up hope and tells you to be yourself and be strong. I've known many who after listening to her album healed from feeling low and unwanted because Christina feels for them. She understands.

    Be wise, put aside all the rumors you've heard, the video's you've seen. That isn't what Christina is about or this album. What it's about is musical talent.

    2-0 out of 5 stars Umm...
    Lets get this staight..Christina is trying to hard to be sexy. She's not goodlooking and I dont see why little girls look up to her. I dont understand it. I will admit though She had a beautiful voice but her music isnt all worth listening to. I respect her singing voice to be honset but I am not big on the pop music and the little kids going all crazy over her.

    3-0 out of 5 stars A great change
    This cd in my opinion is a great transition for Christina.She had released albums before this one that just bombed out.In a way she is just showing her true image and is first between the poppish singers to brake away from that image.This is definately a more deep felt cd for an older christina.The songs are for everyone and move away from the innocence of wat the music industry plays on with young singers.This cd was surprisingly good, and no matter wat criticism it gets Christina is definately one of the best singers out there and this cd shows it and expands on it. ...

    Though most of Black Sabbath's classic material from this album ("War Pigs," "Iron Man," "Fairies Wear Boots," and the title track) can also be found on the collection We Sold Our Soul for Rock & Roll, Paranoid is essential for the completist. One of the best albums from one of the bands to define heavy metal, this album is chock-full of the best stuff from Sabbath's Osbourne years. (Where else will you be able to hear "Rat Salad?") The music isn't exactly complex, but it doesn't need to be; its importance lies in its evocative power, with which any teenager will be able to identify. --Genevieve Williams ... Read more

    5-0 out of 5 stars If you have any interest in Black Sabbath....(you need this)
    If your prepared to Ignore, what is quite possibly, one of the worst rock album covers in recent years. Then you'll not only find one of the greatest heavy Metal albums money can buy, but also finding Black Sabbath at the height of their musical powers. The album opens with the truly epic "War Pigs" which laments the governmental powers, which use military warfare as a means of controlling power. The propulsive crunching guitar and percussive drumming, paint a wholly dramatic apocalyptic musical landspace over which Ozzy extols the dire consequences in a bleak and Gloomy vocal delivery, in a song that is so convincingly complete, that this song would be covered by over artists (such as "Faith no more").

    "Paranoid" was one of the very first track Black Sabbath tracks that I was actually introduced to (Via a various artists compilation), and was the track to fuel my interest in Black Sabbath, and remains one of (the many) highlights on this admittedly short album. but the combination of minor-key dirges loosely based around (or indeed on) a heavy blues-rock template, give their sound more gravitas, and the sense of lyrical confusion & paranoia in this track only serves to highten the considerable tension, which is based around severe feelings of alienation & insecurity.

    "Iron Man" has to be quite possibly, one of the finest & easily identifiable guitar riffs in many years. Undoubtedly one of the strongest tracks on the album, that although will always be remembered for its primary & monolithic guitar/Drum dynamic, also finds favour by being relentlessly dark & Dramatic. Ozzy's uncluttered vocals, which rather than crowd the song out with unnecessary chorus or lyrics, eases back on the tales of supernatural/sci-fi horrors, and allows the musicians to truly be in their element, by cooking up monstrous riffs, and complex drum rhythms that are not only crushingly loud, they touch on approaching superbly crafted Jams.

    "Rat Salad" is a rock instrumental that due to my fondness for instrumental music (its nice to hear if the music is built on a solid instrumental foundation) quickly found a place in my heart. Due to it not only being a incredibly tightly constructed piece of Heavy Instrumental Rock, but also with the Drum Solos, that frequently interject, and the technical virtuosity of the freewheeling guitar that frequently hint at funk/Blues, in a fiery electrified outburst invoking the odd nod to "Led Zeppelin" in their exuberance & Sprawling excess, and just like Led Zep, are able to produce a series of staggering riffs, that would go on to define the band.

    If you are a causal listener to Black Sabbath (like myself), then (along with "Master of Reality" this, is the best starting point for their music. It's a touchstone album for the band, insofar as it was the album that truly broke out of the niche market, and thrust the band to a wider audience, and is a generally consistent album with no filler tracks (at 8 tracks, you'd hope not), and whether or not this album or "Master of reality" is their best album isn't really the point of this review.....the point I'm trying to make is that not only is this one of the finest (if not the finest) moment, of the bands recorded history, but also is arguably one of the greatest heavy metal albums ever.

    5-0 out of 5 stars A HEAVY METAL MASTERPIECE

    1-0 out of 5 stars Classic doesn't always mean masterpiece.
    Yes, the only reason you are here is for Iron man, paranoid, and war pigs....Ozzy was a horrible singer... Yes.

    Althought this album is over 30 years old, that doesn't mean its good does it? Led Zeppelin and Deep Purple are about the same age as Sabbath and they were just as bad.

    While the 60s did bring us all this "shock rock", atleast the classics have given us good artists from the disco era who are still remembered til today unlike those forgotten classic rock bands Led Zeppelin, Kiss, and The Doors.

    Plus, most classic metal sucked, with the exception of Rap-metal of the late 80s/early 90s.

    For good and truly inspritational metal, just listen to any of these modern MTV bands, because they are very groundbreaking. ... Read more

    Editorial Review

    To the ranks of shows too brilliant and outrageous for prime time (The Ben Stiller Show, Andy Richter Controls the Universe), add Seth McFarland's Family Guy. This animated series, which debuted after the 1999 Super Bowl, simply sparked too much controversy and offended too many sensibilities to survive (Entertainment Weekly dubbed it "the Awful Show They Just Keep Putting on the Air"). That the Fox network also played hackysack with its schedule, ensuring viewers would not be able to find it, sealed its fate (it was cancelled in 2002). This boxed set containing all 28 episodes from the first two seasons is payback for the show's devoted cult following, who may be moved to echo the words of infant Stewie Griffin, the megalomaniacal 1-year-old bent on matricide and world domination: "Victory is mine!"

    The dysfunctional Griffins of Quahog, Rhode Island, invite comparisons to The Simpsons. The testicular-chinned father, Peter Griffin, is a clueless oaf in the Homer mold. "Peter, what did you promise me last night?" asks his long-suffering wife Lois in one episode. "That I wouldn't drink at the stag party," he replies. "And what did you do?" she asks. "Drank at the stag part--oh ho ho, I almost walked into that one," he cackles. Other family members include teenage daughter Meg, a desperate high school social pariah; 13-year-old son Chris, a chip off his father's blockhead; and Brian, the family's sarcastic talking dog. But this series' true inspiration is football-pated Stewie (voiced by McFarlane, who earned an Emmy), who was born to be a Bond villain once he escaped his mother's "ovarian bastille." Family Guy recklessly ventured where The Simpsons feared to tread. In one episode, Meg's one and only friend turns out to be the member of a suicidal cult. In another, Death (voiced by Norm McDonald) becomes an unwanted houseguest. Each episode plays fast and furious with surreal flashes (in one episode, Peter turns his house into a puppet) and pop-culture references and TV, movie, and commercial parodies that invite repeated viewings. Freed from its own family-hour bastille and the whims of dim network executives, Family Guy can be appreciated at last on its own profane, sacrilegious, and irreverent terms. Welcome to the DVD family, Griffins. --Donald Liebenson ... Read more

    4-0 out of 5 stars good show...
    Family Guy is a good show, but it reminds me a lot like The Simpsons, you have Peter(Homer), Louis(Cant spell the Simpsons girls name)..Chris(Bart),Megg(Lisa) and Stewie(Meggie)...Peter and Homer both like Beer and TV..and they can be a bit rude. Lous and Simpson's mom work. Chris and Bart I dont really see much for them Lisa and Megg not much Megs a bit unpopular..and Stewies more evil and Meggie looks like she would turn out to be a sweet girl...Dont get me wrong I love Family Guy but its so much like the Simpsons, Its a funny show and all dont get me wrong.

    1-0 out of 5 stars Who Would Be A Stupid Dumb Idiot To Watch This Stupid Show!
    I agree with the review and it was titled This Show Is Not Funny At All. But anyways i hate family guy. I wish this show was cancelled because this show is stupid. I don`t know why people are saying this show is funny. Peter and Lois argue and thats boring and stupid. The Simpsons are better than this stupid show. Homer is way funny and better than Peter. Chris is stupid and annoying. Maggie is better than Stewie. You know what something is stupid because how can a one-year-old baby talk. Thats stupid. Maggie don`t talk. So don`t waste your money on this crap. I suggest that y`all waste on The Simpsons because it has a lot of laughs.

    4-0 out of 5 stars An icredibly funny show but...
    it loses a star for being so, so unoriginal. The griffins are basicly the Simpson family only more extreme in most senses. Peter is Homer only fatter and stupider. Plus they have a stupider son, avery socially inept daughter, and Lois is the same patriarchal mother figure as Marge. Stuwey is pretty much Maggie only even smarter (and pretty much a rip-off of Rex in the episode where Ralph falls in love with Lisa) I can say though that Brian is pretty original. ... Read more

    Editorial Review

    A slightly flawed collection drawn from the three-CD box set Janis, this still isn't a bad introduction to Haight-Ashbury's favorite blues shrieker. Skimming Cheap Thrills, Kosmic Blues, and Pearl, the disc catches some of Joplin's most stunning moments. In acknowledging the "rarities" aspect of the box, however, Essential occasionally goes wrong; the acoustic demo version of "Me and Bobby McGee" is incredibly touching, but a strange choice if there's room for only one. The must-have version remains the full-blown take heard on Pearl and Janis Joplin's Greatest Hits. That there's enough interest in Janis remaining to justify a set like this one is heartening, though. --Rickey Wright ... Read more

    4-0 out of 5 stars essentially it
    An Amazon search of 'Essential' under music turns up over 1,700 hits.While they may not all be winners, if you're looking for an affordable one-disc compilation of Janis Joplin recordings, you couldn't do much better than this.The nice thing about '18 Essential Songs' (drawn from the 49 track 1993 box set titled 'Janis') is that a number of the selections are alternates or live versions of well-worn tracks, so you get a little different spin on the Joplin legacy.In addition, you get nearly every truly classic recording Janis ever made spanning over seventy minutes of CD space.At under five bucks for a used copy here at Amazon, you may be able to end your search here.

    The offerings begin with one of Janis' earliest recorded tracks, a rendition of the blues classic 'Trouble In Mind'.Although it is historic, Janis' vocals seem to be struggling to emerge from a cave.Hit the skip button after a cursory listen, and move on to the goodies.'Down On Me', while not as deliciously raw and punchy as the live version recorded at the Grande Ballroom in Detroit, certainly kicks Janis' locomotive vocal cords into high gear.Familiar studio tracks such as 'Piece Of My Heart', 'Try (Just a Little Bit Harder)', 'Kozmic Blues', 'Move Over', 'Get It While You Can', and 'Half Moon' mix with a previously unreleased version of 'Ball and Chain' (all eight minutes plus from the 1967 Monterey Pop Festival), an alternate demo take of 'Summertime' from the musical 'Porgy and Bess', a live version of 'Raise Your Hand' from the Ed Sullivan Show' (a portion of which made it onto the 'Very Best Of the Ed Sullivan Show' video compilation), and a nearly six-minute live wailing blues version of 'Tell Mama'.Most refreshing is the closer, an alternate demo recording of 'Me and Bobby McGee', featuring just Janis and an acoustic guitar, melting this composition down to its essential elements.'Trust Me' is offered as one of the few non-blues or rock oriented tracks.It's a nice romantic ballad, but comes too late in the set to be breaking up whatever monotony is induced by the dominance of the blues.A few lesser-known tracks such as 'I Need a Man To Love' and 'One Good Man' might make things interesting, but are less than essential.The only 'essential song' I could without is the mercilessly overplayed 'Mercedes Benz', which graciously clocks out at 1:46 as the shortest track on the disc.

    '18 Essential Songs' is a compelling entry into the Janis Joplin compilation sweepstakes, which features two full box sets, and at least 10 single disc 'greatest hits' style collections.If you're not inclined to purchase one of the anthologies, however, this may well be the pick of the litter.

    5-0 out of 5 stars One of the Greats
    Janis Joplin goes down as one of the greatest singers that ever lived.The power of her voice her emotion-it was the voice of a thousand tears,years,life,pain,yearning,and joy.She could sing the hell out of anything.This set isn't definitve, but it's definately a great one to have. Her live rendition of the blues classic Ball and Chain is absolutely spine tingling in all it's 8 minute glory.Summertime-ahh, personally, her rendition of this classic is the best one ever recorded.She pulls out all stops, you don't know whether to laugh or cry. The last song, an acoustic take on her hit Me and Bobby McGee wins me over.I like it even more than the original.The ending to that song is classic.Janis was REALLLLLLLLLLLL.When she sang, she really sang, heart,body,soul,organs, there was no holding back.If you aren't familiar with her music, but like singers who are all out in terms of vocal prowess, pick up this collection.Every track is raw, blues/rock perfection, held together like steel by Janis's voice-which was a living force of it's own.

    5-0 out of 5 stars It keeps getting better
    This is a GREAT CD, which flows beautifully. I like it better now than 2 1/2 years ago when I first bought it and listened to it repeatedly on an 11-hour drive.

    I just keep coming back to it, and almost every different song in the collection becomes a favorite for a little while. (The Bobby McGee song was no way the reason I bought this CD, as I never even particularly liked that song, despite remembering its popularity well).I love HARD PSYCHEDELIC ROCK and this is just a great album for that. Big Brother and the Holding Company and the Kozmic Blues Band are great. They say late 60's to me and I never even listened to them in the late 60's. The songs on this album merge beautifully into one's memories of the time and alot of it is the backup bands, too - classic, classic electric guitar stuff.

    Janis Joplin to me is the female voice of the counter-culture and the great, unforgettable, spontaneous era that was 1967 through 1969.

    Why waste time worrying about how one dopey folk song was performed, that just about any folky out there could have folked-out of themselves just fine? And who buys an album for one song anyway?

    Janis Joplin was not a FOLK SINGER, she was a HARD ROCK SINGER. She was the greatest. She makes Bob Dylan sound like a choir boy. This is a great CD. ... Read more

    5-0 out of 5 stars DEEP PURPLE deserves better than this!
    In my opinion, the greatest hard rock band of them all is DEEP PURPLE...and they deserve better than this! Rhino records MUST be putting together something more in depth. Something comparable to the recent double disc Black Sabbath anthology. If you must own some "best of" Deep Purple right now, go ahead and buy it. How can you go wrong with 70+ minutes of Purple. But, I suggest opting for the Rhino 4 disc box set "Shades 1968-1998." With a great band like DP, you'll find that nearly all of the material is high-quality.

    5-0 out of 5 stars My first Deep Purple album
    Even though i'm only 13 years old, Deep Purple is one of my favorite bands. Everyone keeps talking about how good they are, so I decided to try to get my hands on a copy of this. I've already heard "Smoke on the Water" prior to that (and who hasn't heard SOTW?) and I liked it. After getting this as a x-mas present, I say DP became one of my favorite bands, and I got a good overview of their carrer. The booklet, as far as single-disc compilations go, is very helpful. It gives you the history of DP, shows you the different lineups, givesyou song information, and shows the band's completee discography. After buying this album, all I have to say left is this: I WANT THE REST OF DEEP PURPLE'S ALBUMS!!!! *Starts singing* Smoke on the water, fire in the sky.

    5-0 out of 5 stars ****1/2. Excellent Rhino compilation
    Rhino Records usually know what they're doing when they assemble compilations and box sets, and this one is no exception.
    It's a bit of shame that the David Coverdale-sung numbers "Soldier Of Fortune" and "Might Just Take Your Life" have been omitted, but that's the way it always is with compilations, a lot of people's favorite song is bound to be missing. And besides, there are seventy-nine minutes of music here, so no room for complaining there!

    And while diehard Purple fans will probably complain about all the great songs that are missing, more casual listeners should be perfectly happy with this handsomely packaged, well annotated compilation which includes almost all of Deep Purple's best-known songs. "Highway Star", "Woman From Tokyo", "Strange Kind Of Woman", the epic "Child In Time", and of course "Smoke On The Water" are all here, and all of them rank among the absolute classics of early hard rock and heavy metal.
    Designed to complement, not compete with, the four-disc box set "Shades", released in 1999, "The Very Best Of Deep Purple" is one of the very best Purple compilations. It is a terrific introduction for the unitiated, and a great pick for the casual listener who just wants one Purple collection on the shelf. ... Read more

    Editorial Review

    The band that proclaimed itself "The Greatest Rock & Roll Band in the World" has long since represented rock's most overarching confluence of art and commerce--with a distinct emphasis on the latter in recent decades--a notion this 40-track, five-decade-spanning anthology can't completely escape. While this is the first anthology to gather hits from the band's entire career, it's the early tunes that highlight one of the Stones' central ironies: virtually their entire "bad boy" reputation was built working for The Man. That original '60s musical arc bounded from '50s rock and R&B revivalism ("Not Fade Away," "The Last Time") to anti-Mop Top aggression ("Satisfaction," "Get Off My Cloud," "19th Nervous Breakdown") to proto-goth cynicism ("Paint It Black," "Have You Seen Your Mother Baby") and psychedelic minstrelsy ("She's a Rainbow," "Ruby Tuesday") to the epitome of blues-based cock rock ("Street Fighting Man," "Jumpin' Jack Flash") in quick succession. Wresting control of their own destinies--and future copyrights--at the end of the '60s, they'd spend the next 30 years largely recycling their earlier incarnation ad infinitum--their music sprinkled with occasionally successful forays into contemporary club and disco fodder ("Some Girls," "Shattered")--and resting on their well-paid laurels. Unfortunately, the listless quartet of new tracks that flesh out this collection seems little more than another business deal to hype their 2002-03 world tour, with "Don't Stop" arguably the weakest in a long string of post-'80s Stones McSingles. If Jagger seems typically detached here, Keith Richards injects some welcome, craggy warmth into the closing barroom lament, "Losing My Touch." But it's also a performance that suggests his legendary band has become little more to him than "The Greatest Day Job in the World." --Jerry McCulley ... Read more

    What? They arn't the best rock band in the world! The only rock songs that rock are Start Me Up and Shattered. What's the point?
    They used to play punk back in the 60's. They were never the best rock band in the world. Or maybe they are, they are a great band. But they are way better than the Who. The Beatles suck!

    Editorial Review

    The fourth season of Sex and the City is just as smart and sexy as ever, mixing caustic adult wit and sharply observed situation comedy on the mean streets of Manhattan, though this time the quartet of singleton city girls must endure even tougher combat in the unending war of love, sex, and shopping. Carrie (Sarah Jessica Parker) finally seems to have found her ideal life partner when she is reunited with handsome craftsman Aidan (John Corbett). But can their relationship survive trial by cohabitation? Meanwhile Charlotte (Kristin Davis) seems to have both her dream Park Avenue apartment and a solution to her marital problems with Trey (Kyle MacLachlan). But when the subject of babies comes up, everything starts to unravel for her, too. It's not just Charlotte who has baby issues either: after what seems like an eternity of enforced sexual abstinence Miranda (Cynthia Nixon) is horrified to discover she's pregnant. And as for the sultry Samantha (Kim Cattrall), she's on a quest for monogamy, first with an exotic lesbian artist, then with a philandering businessman, with whom to her utter dismay she just might have fallen in love. --Mark Walker ...

    5-0 out of 5 stars In my Opinion, the Best of SATC!
    I recently got hooked on SATC when i received the first season as a gift.i was skeptical, i had never seen an episode while it was playing on HBO and always commented that it was all hype.i was wrong!I can't get enough!i now own all the seasons and watch them religiously.I would have to say that although i love watching the season where it all started and the final season, season four is the best.It has sooo much going on that is monumental in all the character's lives.I can watch these episodes over and over again from the fight between aiden and big, to the pregnancy, to the proposal to the season finale that includes a BIG move and a birth.This season is a classic and if you were to purchase only one season i reccommend this one.You WILL NOT be disappointed

    5-0 out of 5 stars Great for Dates

    There has never been a more perfect show to watch for couples who are in intimate relationships than SATC. It is a divine mix or funny and sexy and great dialogue and pretty people. It makes an exquisite first feature in a double feature, especially with other erotic movies like "Last Tango in Paris" or "Goddess Worship" or "New Sex Now."

    Thank heaven for Sex and the City.

    5-0 out of 5 stars One of the best original cable programs ever...
    Based on the bestselling novel by Candace Bushnell, the HBO original series Sex And The City took the television world by storm following its release in the summer of 1998. Following the exploits of four young and educated female friends living and working in New York City, the show revolves around the various relationships and life problems experienced by each member of the group. Sporting an experienced and talented cast, the show has developed a strong, borderline fanatic following...

    Sarah Jessica Parker (the de facto lead character of the show) stars as Carrie Bradshaw, a popular sex columnist for a local newspaper who travels in numerous Manhattan social circles. Carrie is engaged in a tempestuous on-again, off-again relationship with a mystery man always referred to as "Mr. Big". The young urban professional shares her life with three best friends who have similarly interesting jobs - Miranda Hobbs (Cynthia Nixon), a lawyer tired of being single given the societal ramifications; Samantha Jones (Kim Cattrall), a promiscuous publicist who enjoys non-exclusive relationships; and Charlotte McDougal (Kristin Davis), an art museum curator who is relatively less open about her sexuality... Together, the women seek each other's advice on the ever-present and varying predicaments in which they find their romantic relationships...

    The Sex And The City (Season 4) DVD features a number of hilarious episodes including the season premiere "The Agony and the 'Ex'stasy" in which Carrie celebrates her 35th birthday. The milestone gives cause for the various women to reflect - Samantha is happy with her various sexual liaisons, Miranda realizes that marriage does not equate with happiness, Charlotte loses her appetite for Trey following a late night incident, and Carrie is disappointed when her dinner party bombs, but she perks up when Mr. Big arrives unannounced with a bottle of Champagne... Other notable episodes from Season 4 include "Defining Moments" in which each of the women defines a new set of boundaries in each of their various relationships, and "Baby, Talk is Cheap" in which Samantha meets a man who enjoys baby talk in bed and Charlotte and Trey decide against trying to conceive after attending a dinner party with their married friends and children...

    Below is a list of episodes included on the Sex And The City (Season 4) DVD:

    Episode 49 (The Agony and the 'Ex'stasy)
    Episode 50 (The Real Me)
    Episode 51 (Defining Moments)
    Episode 52 (What's Sex Got to Do With It?)

    If the one-disc All-Time Greatest Hits leaves you panting for more, but the three-disc box set Just for You proves that one can, in fact, get enough of Barry White's love, well, then the two-disc Ultimate Collection is the anthology for you. An entire slow-jams industry has been erected in White's wake, but no one has done it better. Call it "funkzac"--an inimitable fusion of lush strings and suave brass dancing on a bed of funk and disco rhythms, with the manly maestro mixed prominently atop his seduction soundscapes. Ultimate Collection serves up enough cherry Barry to produce another baby boom. --W.C. Sweeney ... Read more

    5-0 out of 5 stars Let The Music Play!
    This collection speaks for itself!Thirty songs and not a single dud!What is here is essential and entertaining.If there is any flaw I can find it would be this:Is this collection suppose to be just Barry White: SOLO artist?There are a few collections from Love Unlimited Orchestra, but still I don't have a problem with it.

    The really great thing about its collection that it included his 1990s hits "Practice What You Preach" and "Stayin' Power" which is better than his 1994 "All-Time Greatest Hits" on one CD.If you are a fan, but are still not sure about his box set, then this is your ideal pick.Highly recommended!

    5-0 out of 5 stars Barry White : The Icon of Love
    Many people of my generation were probably placed upon this planet because of Barry White. The late master of love was even an icon to the new generation because of his appearances on "Ally Mcbeal". He provided the soundtrack for sex for the entire disco age. Now with the rerelease of what is astetically a greatest hits collection, he should be discovered by generations to come. He prolonged the seduction. He stretched out the verbal foreplay until there was nothing to do but the physical act. And the songs were foreplay on their own. "It's Esctasy When You Lie Next To Me","Staying Power", and the true classic"Can't get Enough of your Love,Babe" are just testaments to this man's musical genius and his love of love. Barry White, thanks for putting me here and the fun in Heaven got a lot more vocal and a lot more fun.

    5-0 out of 5 stars Two discs of pure BW
    Its rare that a best of collection gets it right, but when the artist is involved that usually helps a lot. That was the case here & Barry White oversaw this two disc set of his best work put together lovingly & with care. What an awesome style The Maestro had back in the day. Lush strings, heavy beats, guitar riffs, and that nice blend of his deep bass vocals with the female back up. The Man could really create an atmosphere and he made an awesome body of work in the 70s, bringing both soul & FONK. Most of the singles are included, and it also captures his work in the late 80s and his big comeback in the 90s. 'Practice What You Preach' is still the killer jam of 94.

    This is a great and near complete overview of The Maestros sound & career, and a perfect introduction to his back catalogue. In my opinion everyone should check out all 8 of his classic 70s albums but ifyour wallet says no this is a great piece to own. How I miss this guy, there will never be another Barry White.

    A great book that offers unusual views to expand your orgasm and your partner's orgasm.

    It brought my husband and I new ways to enhance our love making skills. My husband bought it for us.

    At first, I was somewhat resistant to using the EMO technique described whether, he wanted to use it on me or me on him but this book even talks about resistance to pleasure which gave me perspective on the feelings I was experiencing.

    After a few times practicing, this has now been added to our lovemaking and has brought us both more pleasure, longer and better orgasm.

    The drawings offer clear, easy to follow visuals. Thank you.

    I have been married to my husband for 12 years and although i love him very much he was never able to satisfy me in bed. A friend recommended the Illustrated Guide to Extended Massive Orgasm so we bought a copy and after reading it our sex life has expanded exponentially.We had the best sex ever after he read it and it gets better every time now. He can now give me an orgasm whenever he wants to and I am no longer thinking of leaving him. He is the best. One happy customer

    If you have absolutely no idea as to the functioning of the female anatomy and, you are still at the low end of the evolutionary scale then, this is the video for you. It might make a passable beginners sex-ed introduction tape, but other than that it is not what one might "come" to look for. Photography and cinematography are simplistic and trite at best. Save your money and just ask or explore with your wife or girlfreind.
    She probably has more to offer by way of education and gratification than this tape does.
