Christmas Eve and Other Stories

Childrens Toy Shop > Music > Rock
by: Trans-Siberian Orchestra

October 15, 1996
With all due respect to all you people who loved TSO, I think you should wake up and go straight to the nearest CD store and buy Savatage albums and give it a listen because TSO=Savatage! and Basically the Christmas Eve/Sarajevo song is basically a song on the Dead winter dead album for Savatage! Even Back to a reason II is the same Back to a Reason song sung by Jon Oliva in Poets and Madmen album for SAVATAGE! So,, why does TSO get the credit and Savatage doesnt! Is this Fair!

Corinne Bailey Rae

Childrens Toy Shop > Music > Rock
by: Corinne Bailey Rae

June 20, 2006
My favorite song by far on this album is "Put Your Record On," so catchy that its hard to shake out of your head. But I'll never dismiss the sweet melodies- "Like a Star" and "Till it Happens to You."
Her music truly is a unique blend of soul, pop, jazz with a sprinkling od sadness, heart-ache and lonliness much akin to the music of the the little-bit-edgier SS, Arrica Rose. Both singer-songwriters have a bit of jazzy Norah Jones plus a lovely, sweet and passionate sound all their own.This is Corrine's best album to date. Buy it.

Intimacy

Childrens Toy Shop > Music > Rock
by: Bloc Party

October 28, 2008
What happened to my favorite rock band from the U.K.? I still to this day choose Silent Alarm as my running music. Weekend in the City had some redeeming qualities. Growth, blah, blah, blah. If you're going to move in to a new direction at least be good at it. Intimacy is just "OK" in my opinion.
Electronic music is huge in England, and obviously eBloc Party has been greatly influenced by it. But they're just not that good at it. Please go back to what you know, what you do well.

One Live Kiss

Childrens Toy Shop > Music > Rock
starring: Paul Stanley
directed by: Louis Antonelli

October 21, 2008
As he has been doing for years, Paul Stanley completely transforms himself into a Rock God when he hits the stage, commanding your every emotion, and mesmorizing even the slightest fan into a totally engrossed captive voyer....His vocals have never been better and his stage presence never as strong, his stamina to work the stage and the audience, all the while tearing thru a set list of his newest tracks, and the older fan favorites.....worth every penny.....a must for any KISS fan....

Very Best of Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons

I love this tape. Though it is music a little before my time, it is wonderful. It is a good companion to the Jersey Boys tape. They are both great tapes.

Buying this album was one of the best decisions I've ever made in my life. For the money, I've never had anything blow my mind quite like this album. It's obvious. Buy it now.

Oracular Spectacular

Childrens Toy Shop > Music > Rock
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. ... Read More:

Gift Of Screws

Childrens Toy Shop > Music > Rock
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 > Rock
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!

Bob Seger - Greatest Hits

Childrens Toy Shop > Music > Rock
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.
