A Little Bit Longer

Childrens Toy Shop > Music > Rock
by: Jonas Brothers

August 12, 2008
From there previous album, I was very disappointed of this one. There previous one was amazing and this one is like.. blaaahh! they have a few good songs like Burnin Up and Tonight isn't to bad but the other songs were just plain stupid!! like for example BB Good To Me: it had a good beat and all but come on BB-- so cheezy!! When they come out with another album- which they most probably will- i will deff. check it out more before buying it.

Cardinology

Childrens Toy Shop > Music > Rock
by: Ryan Adams & the Cardinals

October 28, 2008
Wow...how does one go from the heights of lyrical magic (as heard on "Tiger") tearing your heart out over bad drugs, wounded lovers, and fragile recovery, and go to...this? "Cardinology" has every flaw seen in a scared, lazy, shallow album--songs that are familiar (but in a bad way--sooo predictable), crappy guitar-work with Godawful mixes, minimal tension and atmosphere....it's as if Senor R. crapped in his widdle pants and decided to frame it for the world to see. The steel guitar may actually be good, who would know, since it's buried in mud. Here's a laugh, I was actually thankful for the low song output on this effort, since it ended my pain. It's worse than bad...it's half-good. Ryan, wake up!

Only by the Night

Childrens Toy Shop > Music > Rock
by: Kings of Leon

September 23, 2008
So this year two pretty major developments took place in Southern Indie Rock. Cult favorites My Morning Jacket and now Kings of Leon crossed over into the mainstream with their newest releases. But these albums are totally different and say a lot about the bands respectively.

I won't rehash my harsh criticism of the MMJ album, except to say that it was not consistent with their previous efforts - in any way, except their penchant for experimentation. It is a terrible album, but to their credit, they make some of it work very well live because they are a truly great band (see the recent Austin City Limits performance) .

This effort by KOL, on the other hand, is not experimental. It is growth. Think the difference between Death ... Read More:

Elvis Presley Christmas Duets

I am a huge Elvis fan and was not disappointed by this! It is a wonderful CD for anyone who loves Elvis and Christmas together! I even bought one for my mother in-law who is another die hard Elvis fan. I can't wait for the next one!

The Christmas Collection

Childrens Toy Shop > Music > Rock
by: Amy Grant

September 30, 2008
Honestly, out of all the covers Christmas songs get, I've yet to find anyone as consistant and perfect for the job as miss Amy Grant. My family has kept her christmas CDs in heavy rotation all season long for years it seems, and they always sound fresh, they always bring the warmth and jolly of the time, and the reminder of the nativity.

I would recommend buying all her Christmas albums (i'm not sure how many there are) but if you'd rather hit the highlights then this one definately does the job. There's only a few tracks I would have liked to see make the cut, but for the most part these are the best. I love "count your blessings instead of sheep" i wish more people sang that song, it's brilliant.


Overall: if you already have ... Read More:

Raising Sand

This is one of my favorite CDs. Each song brings up a different emotion. Everyone I have played it for loves it. I play it over and over and enjoy it more each time.

Learn To Live

Childrens Toy Shop > Music > Rock
by: Darius Rucker

September 16, 2008
A Cd this great only comes around a few times a year, and Darius Ruckers CD would rank number one against most of them. This is one of those CD's you can listen to from start to finish without skipping a track. With his smooth vocals and great storytelling, any country fan who wouldn't pick this up would be out of their mind. Take my advice and pick up this GREAT country CD, you will not be disappionted.

One of the Boys

Childrens Toy Shop > Music > Rock
by: Katy Perry

June 17, 2008
Katy Perry is a great singer and has the right idea with her songs. However, the musical aspect of the other tunes besides the two radio hits kind of misses the mark. Such a shame for a talented person such as she.

The Pretenders have not made a great album since "Learning to Crawl" ... maybe it's time to try Rick Rubin.
