Symphony

Childrens Toy Shop > Music > Music
by: Sarah Brightman

January 29, 2008
Sarah Brightman's 'Symphony' is yet another example of how the acclaimed 'Angel of Music' takes classical music genres and brings life to them.

True to its title, 'Symphony' takes on a more gothic symphonic rock style from Ms. Brightman's previous albums, while sticking to her traditional crossover formula. The best example of this is in 'Fleurs du Mal' (Flowers of Evil), which opens with a strong beat and some amazing high notes. A reprise of this song appears at the end of the album as a hidden track. 'Fleurs du Mal' is probably the best song on the album because it literally grabs listeners' attention from the first second.

Some of the songs have a more melancholic mood, like 'I Will Be with You' (with Paul Stanley), ... Read More:

This is a wonderful collection of Natalie Cole. It includes some new and some old, including some songs mixed like she did "Unforgettable" with her father's voice.
One of her best!

Oracular Spectacular

Childrens Toy Shop > Music > Music
by: MGMT

January 22, 2008
MGMT are a New York duo whose Pop/Dance/Rock/Electronic sound makes for a heady mix. Their very playful disc "Oracular spectacular" comprises just 10 tracks (these days, loads of CDs average 11 tracks, doing away with filler).

"Let's make some music, make some money, find some models for wives" they sing in the buzzing "Time to pretend" as they spell out the hedonistic lifestyle they have mapped out.

The acoustic "Weekend wars" reminds me a wee bit of The Beatles. "Of monsters, birds & monsters" is more upbeat. An extremely catchy retro sounding Pop/Rocker. The echo-ey "The youth" is so retro sounding, almost a Doo-wop ballad with shimmery psychedelic effects. "Electric feel" is disco-tinged and finds the duo singing in falsetto. Extremely ...

Gift Of Screws

Childrens Toy Shop > Music > Music
by: Lindsey Buckingham

September 16, 2008
A follow up to his 2006 album "Under The Skin," which to me far excedes it. He takes on more of his rock roots and a few of the songs sound very much like something that could be on a Fleetwood Mac album. "Great Day" has "Tusk" written all over it. "Love Runs Deeper" has this awesome chorus with that Mac-ish tone. "Did You Miss Me" is just lyrics in motion and is definitely one of my favorites. "Wait For You" is sinister and balls to the wall rockin'. "Treason" takes us back to the acoustic feel of "Skin" with its strumming acoustics and lush Buckingham vocals. I love this album and will say it is the closest to "Cradle' in my heart.

Love On The Inside

Childrens Toy Shop > Music > Music
by: Sugarland

July 29, 2008
I LOVE Sugarland and I think that this is the best album (CD) yet. I don't understand why they relegated the songs that they did to the deluxe fan edition. "Fall Into Me" is my favorite song of theirs so far, it is an awesome song and it should have been on the "regular" edition of the album. I also love "Very Last Country Song". I feel they are growing and improving as a duo and while stayng true to their roots, also branching out and becoming even more accessable to those who might think that they "don't like country music". Give them a try!

Rambling Boy

Childrens Toy Shop > Music > Music
by: Charlie Haden

September 23, 2008
'Rambling Boy' is a marvelous compilation of authentic, front-porch Americana. I love country and hear my share of Bluegrass. If you're a fan of groups such as Charlie Haden, as I am, this will show you what their predecessors sounded like. True roots music. The recording is great, as well. Nary a hiss or pop, which is quite remarkable for recordings of this era. The engineers obviously embarked on a labor of love. The songs and the singers are first rate- this is a sing along CD- grab it and bring it with you- warning: it may cause foot tapping and hand clapping.

Highly Recommended. prisrob 11-16-08

Bob Seger - Greatest Hits

Childrens Toy Shop > Music > Music
by: Bob Seger & the Silver Bullet Band

October 25, 1994
With the number of songs that Bob Segar has produced throughout the years it is difficult to get all of the songs I like one one CD, and there are a couple of songs that I would have liked to see.

The CD stills has so many great songs that it is easy to see why some songs may have been missed, such as Fire Lake which is one of my all time favorites of his, along with Turn the Page.

But the songs that are missing (at least to me) are available on the Greatest Hits, Vol. 2, so between the two of them the bases are pretty well covered.

Jonas Brothers

I personally own this cd and it is one of my favorites. I played it so many times that it actually needed a break in order to physically play. Definitely great for any young girl, guy who's into music, and anyone who wants to listen to decent music that is not explicit,and for you, you won't have to worry about your kids listening to this it is very wholesome, good music, with no dirty lyrics ever. I give it 10 of 10 and so do most of my friends!
