Why 2 albums

Well I bought what I though was this CD in 1998. But what the CD shop imported for me was Gothic Rock vol.2 . For some reason, the one has almoust all the song the other one has. But I wanted the CD for Midnight Configuration - No Limit. Now after 6 years 'n found the one I was looking for in the firs place. Love the older Gothic songs. I'm still waiting for my order...

Nobody hates a cliché more than a conscientious record reviewer, but the fact is there are no losers on Grammy Nominees 2005. Though not all the acts represented here walked away with a golden statuette for their efforts, many —including Alicia Keys, Los Lonely Boys, and Maroon 5 —did, and the ones that didn't handily demonstrate why they earned the nod. Gretchen Wilson represents all that's right with modern country via her inescapable "Redneck Woman," and the genre jumble of relative newcomers Kanye West, Joss Stone and Josh Groban likewise make the case for keeping the radio dial spinning. Older listeners are the real winners here, though: Brian Wilson, Elvis Costello, Prince and U2 pull former awards-show junkies into the present and confer generational props at the same time. -Tammy La Gorce

Total garbage.

This collection shows us, Jack and Jill public, how narrow minded the Grammy voters are today. Not one track on this so-called collection is worthy of a listen or a grammy nod. QUIET.

The Verdict Is In . . .

YAAAAAAAAWWWWWWNNN! Don't even bother buying and listening to this CD. Every song on here lacks emotion, meaningful lyrics, and any type of memorable melody. Standards are set so low that any untalented fool can get a record deal, sample to their hearts content, and win a Grammy. Skip this and get Stevie Wonders greatest hits collection.

You will love it!

This CD collection is great and if some of your favorite singers are Alicia Keys, Maroon 5, etc then you will find it fascinating and uplifting just like me. This is the best of the best and I highly recommend it.
