Grunge Music

Prepare yourselves : This band has what it takes to make it big.
One listen and you will be hooked.

What's next ?

What are you waiting for ? Get out and see their live show, they're on tour right now! Find them on MySpace!

This Band has their own unique sound and real talent that can explain what they mean without saying it. In this life is a great song it reminded me of a soldier at war and after talking with a member of the band who wrote the song thats what was thought of to insipire him. Lots of great songs. Very cool group. they'll be huge in a few years

This is the best rock CD I have heard in a long while. The songs are very well written with great hooks and the lyrics have intellectual content which is a contrast to most bands today. I really like the heavy rock track blended with something you can play without your significant other yelling to turn it down. Great blend of rock...you won't be disappointed. BUY IT!

Every once in a while I will take a chance and spend my hard earned dollars on a new band. I thought the band Jet Black Stare had a cool name, and I like the song "Ready to Roll" which I heard on myspace. I was hoping for more of the same on "In This Life".

Sadly, this is the hardest song on the CD, and the rest of this disc is filled with average sounding bland modern rock.

There are better CD's out there for you spend your money on, especially if you are into the modern rock scene. Check out the new Rev Theory CD, or Theory of a Deadman disc. You will get more bang for your buck with either one of these CD's.

I found that several of the tracks are fresh against the rock legends who've released work in 2008. Make no mistake, Jet Black Stare will not find a place in your collection beside "Black Ice" or "Chinese Democracy." But, this has great flow through the album. By the time you've gotten over the popular Ready to Roll move into I'm Breathing, which is a song that will hold its on with anything on the Hinder or Nickelback albums.

Comparing the work across the board to Rev Theory, Shinedown, Metallica, Disturbed, Seether, and 3 Doors Down? I would relate this as best to a shining mix of Setther and 3 Doors Down. The song do not hit you with the clarity of 3 Doors Down. But, the rockstar aspirations are clear in this album of range. Fly has a catchy feel and makes you wonder how powerful it might be when played acoustically. Poster Princess holds it's own with class and without any of the Nickelback or Buck Cherry vulgarity. Its a respectable track which might not be played in over 18 establishments because its driven by a witty layout you could sing to a female without being labeled a jerk.

Go to JBS's homepage and their MSpace music player and hear some tracks if you need to make up your mind. Make this one a piece of your collection and don't feel like a schmuck when their follow-up album hits and you're none the wiser on "In This Life." Buy it.

2 1/2

There are a few sparkling seeds of abrasive greatness hinting at further gifts to come but the majority of angular, noisy sloppiness emanating from this frazzled neo-punk quintet had much to refine before achieving real power.

AN EXCELLENT ALBUM. THE PUNK INFLUENCE IS OBVIOUS WHILE RETAINING THE SUBSTANCE AND STYLE OF LATER ATDI ALBUMS. THE PRODUCTION IS MORE RAW THAN MOST OF THE REST OF THE ALBUMS, BUT SEEMS TO ENHANCE THE WIDE RANGE OF EMOTION DISPLAYED IN THE CHAOTIC GUITAR RIFFS AND DUELING VOCALS OF THE TWO SINGERS.

I first heard of At the Drive-in because of the band The Mars Volta. They are such a talented group that I had to hear the music they produced in their old band At the Drive-in. This has since become, along with Deloused in the Comatorium, one of my favorite albums. Buy this album, you won't regret it!

I am sad to say that I didnt discover At the Drive In until about a year ago. After hearing their single One Armed Scissor, I fell in love with the band and their great energy and went out and bought all their CDs, but I went backwards starting with Relationship of Command. Acrobatic Tenement is very different from their other 2 CDs. It has a very underproduced, raw, emotional sound that I love. This CD has a fun, fast-paced, make you wanna sing and dance feeling to it, and it starts off right away with Starslight, a quick warmer-upper. My favorite song from this album is Ticklish, Cedric's voice is just so mesmorizing. It amazes me how Omar and Cedric went from this sound to the sound and styles of The Mars Volta, my other favorite band that I cant stop listening to. Its too bad ATDI broke up because I would have loved to see their amazing live shows Ive heard about, but at least Cedric and Omar still decided to create amazing music in the form of TMV.

This is an interesting album. When I first got into At The Drive-In a little over a year ago I didn't really care that much for this album. Over time though, this album has grown and grown on me until now when oddly enough it is now my favorite ATDI album.

The first spin of this album was a strange experience for me since I was used to ATDI's later material (ROC, Vaya) and The Mars Volta. I remember my initial thoughts being (1) it wasn't anywhere near as experimental or interesting and (2) it was a bit to emo for my tastes.

Over time though, I began to realize that even though it's not ATDI's most diverse or experimental album it is (to me) their best in terms of raw emotion and really showcases the bands talent behind all the effects. I became so infatuated with the album that I rarely put on any At The Drive-In album other than this one. Just listen to track like "Star Slight", "Initiation", "Ticklish", or "Portfolio Diaz" and tell me that this album isn't amazing.

You just have to listen to it in a different way than most other Cedric and Omar material because no, it's not really an experimental album and it doesn't rely so much on effects and the electronic side of their musical exploration. This album is a straight-ahead, no gimmicks, garage record with real emotion just bursting throughout the record.

Now, let me ask you: Is there anything more beautiful than that?

This is a really solid album, Finger Eleven's best. This album, along with "The Greyest of Blue Skies" are both albums that are worth buying. However, I don't know what happened to these guys. I can't stand their music now. In fact, I downright hate it. I wish they had stayed the way they were. I understand that artists grow, it's a part of keeping the art real. Sadly, it didn't work out well for F11.

In regards to "Tip", you won't be disappointed. It's a well crafted, well written album from a band that has a lot of talent; but has since fallen down into the mud.

This was the finger eleven debut cd. this cd to me really only has 3 or 4 songs that good. This cd, like their 3rd and 4th cd are just overall not that good. the best finger eleven album is greyest of blue skies a must have for everyone. it is more experimental and darker but really hits home.

While it was Finger Eleven's third album that broke through in the US, it's still their debut album, 'Tip,' that I keep in my CD player. Many bands take some time to establish their own sound, but Finger Eleven proves with this album that they stand apart from the rest. 'Tip' still sounds new and innovative today, with hard hitting songs like 'Tip' and 'Condenser', to the hypnotic melodies of 'Costume For A Gutterball' and 'Temporary Arms.' I'd recommend this CD any day of the week.

I've been a fan of this band forever it seems like and each and everyone of their releases has resonated high with me...this being their debut has special importance because it marked the beginnning of their amazing career. Although they are not that well known they really have had influence on a lot of more popular bands around now, that you can see when you give a listen to this very different, very brilliant album. From the opening of "QUICKSAND" to the amazingly haunting closer "SWALLOWTAIL" you are drawn into this bands magnificence and truly come to see this band for what they are...a force to be taken seriously! "QUICKSAND" & "ABOVE" serve as you more radio friendly type songs, catchy and contemperary. The title track "TIP" is slightly heavier and is really one to get you pumped...great moshpit song. The next two tracks are close to my favorites, "SHUDDER" & "AWAKE AND DREAMING". "SHUDDER" uses the harmonics perfectly, adding this haunting vibe to the song. Scotts voice is infectious...soft and delicate one minute and then coarse and strained the next. "AWAKE AND DREAMING" shows the beautiful side of this band. With melody in the guitars and soft sincere lyrics that are perfectly dispatched by Scotts soothing voice. The chorus is just so serene. "CONDESER" kinda sounds like Manson's 'Beautiful People' at least the chorus. Shows a different side to this band. It's just great to see how diverse one band can be. Personally, if you listen to all three of their CD's back to back you won't get bored because nothing sounds the same...anyways. "THIN SPIRITS" has a great vibe to it, the beat is perfect and just draws you in. "Theres no way, theres no way out..." "GLIMSE" has some cool guitar work and cool effects on the voice, but all in all it doesn't touch me like some of the other songs. "COSTUME FOR A GUTTER BALL" is great. I love the bass lines. The lyrics are great and meaningful. "TEMPERARY ARMS" is one of the best songs here if not for the song as a whole, for the lyrics which are just great. I'm a stickler for the lyrics of a song. I don't like songs that use the same contemperary lyrics that every band recycles over and over again, but one of the great things about Finger Eleven is that you will only hear it here...no where else. This brings us to my favorite song here, the epic closer "SWALLOWTAIL" which is the most beautiful song, lyrically and instumentally I've ever heard. Scott is so soothing yet so vulnerable here, you can feel his emotions...you just want to comfort him while you lay with your eyes closed and soak up the beauty that is this song. Perfect.

every track on this album is awesome. quicksand, awake and dreaming, glimpse, costume for a gutterball, and swallowtail are my personal favorite. finger eleven can dish out heavy rock (glimpse, costume for a gutterball) or slow it down a bit (awake and dreaming, swallowtail). i would recommend this album to anyone who enjoys listening to music. 6 STARS!!!!!!

I used to listen to this CD all. the. time. in high school but I must have lost it while in college. I was listening to a 90's station the other day and heard "I got a girl" and just had to have the CD again. Awesome!

Ok Kiddos' this is the One and Only Album that I have Heard....Old school, Loved IT! Times change....your music you listen to takes the bend in the river.....So Tonight I am gonna Download their Other Two albums and take a trip back into time! And I think that I will enjoy the triP!

~aLiShA~

This is a good recording and has some good songs (and some forgettable songs, ex. "Got a Girl"). "Rocketpop", "Noose", and "Prick" are some of the standouts. "Prick" being my personal favorite. Definitely worth the used price of $0.01, but make sure and buy "Jesus Hits Like the Atom Bomb" if you don't already have it which is TD's true masterpiece.

Being "too young" to really follow that much music when this was out in 1995, it was like seven years later that I finally got to hear this band. And for almost three years, the only song I knew from them was "I Got a Girl". My friend got me into this band through this and "Jesus Hits Like the Atom Bomb". Not a bad album by any means, but the latter is certainly a better album.

I hate to say this about an artist I like a lot, but about half of the songs sound like they were required to be made by the record label. Additionally, it's a somewhat unfocused album, with songs like "Same Dress, New Day" and "Trip Along" which both don't fit well in the context and are a bit dated. Additionally there's a lot of stuff that you'll try to get yourself into rather than actually enjoy.

But why exactly is this a four-star album to me? Well, there are its fair share of pretty good tracks, and the bad could be a whole lot worse. But it's somewhat listenable, even. Originally I would have just given it three stars, but "Prick" is enough of a reason to buy the album. Nine minutes long and the closest thing to metal they've ever done, it's great. Still, they don't sacrifice the generally happy tone that's usually in Tim Delaughter's songs. It's the part after the guitar solo that I love so much, although this is a reason that some may miss the guitarist, Wes. He had a Billy Corgan-type quality to playing the guitar and this was his "Cherub Rock".

One other good thing here is some of the lyrics, like the melodic "Motivation". Elsewhere, "I Got a Girl", which you've probably heard, is really clever and still has not gotten old. Even if I wish people could acknowledge more from the band. I sort of like "Rocketpop", "Bang", "Piranha", and the catchy-yet-quirky "Raindrop". Also, I particularly enjoy "High", another track that shows the great guitar ability they had and Tim has a Brian Wilson-type falsetto here.

More of its strengths are in the last two tracks than anything else, and unfortunately there are a lot of tracks that are barely above average. I think I'd recommend "Jesus" over this if you like the Polyphonic Spree and would like to hear what Tim did in Tripping Daisy. However, for what it's worth, it's a nice blend of psychedelic and punk-pop with occasional other things.

Tripping Daisy was one of the more unique and original bands to come out of the 90s. I happened to pick up the CD in 1996 and it's been a cherished item in my collection since then.

The highlight of this CD for me has to be the track 'Prick'. An epic nine minute rock saga that covers the rage and sorrow of watching a brother wasting his life on drugs, the lyrics are backed up by screaming guitar riffs and a hard core drum beat that smashes relentlessly into the track.

Unfortunately the band's career was cut short by the death of the their guitarist Wes Berggren in 1999 at the age of 28.

For a glimpse of a band that had all the potential genius but none of the breaks, you can't go past "I am an Elastic Firecrack"

OK, so Soul Coughing only did 3 discs and they get a 20-track best of? Well, 16 of the tracks are from the 3 records, and all we get apart from that are a murky live track, a mediocre Propellerheads remix, and a couple of tracks released for other things (the X-files, for example, although the great Soul Coughing track 16 Horses for the X-files movie is excluded from this release for some reason).

So, like, if the album material wasn't as hot as it is, this record would get much lower marks. But it is. Soul Coughing was one of the most unique and interesting bands of the entire 1990s, and this is a good assortment of their work. Wisely, the bulk of the material is taken from Ruby Vroom (about half the album, actually), with less tracks coming from the more inconsistent drum-n-bass-heavy finale El Oso.

If you already have the band's three studio releases, it's completely unnecessary except for the song-by-song liner notes and recollections by frontman M. Doughty, which are remarkably frank. (Doughty will tell you, for example, which drugs he was taking at the time that are directly responsible for such and such a song's lyrics.) If you don't have their records, you should probably get them, but if you're more of a casual fan and don't want to shell out for three discs than this is a pretty good selection of their best cuts, and worth picking up.

isn't batman and robin a rubbish movie? no really, doesn't it just feel like one long explosion?? maybe it was at this stage that i started to move away from mainstream cinema (bear with me here, i'm going somewhere with this). anyway, the only thing i can remember from it was the feeling that i had to pick up the soundtrack just to get my hands on underworld's 10 minute techno slab 'moaner'. also there (buried on the movie, i think, under the sound of revving motorbike engines) is a track by soul coughing called 'the bug'. my first introduction, enough to get me hooked.
three albums later and they chose to call it a day. now i have those albums and picked this up mainly for 'unmarked helicopters', my decision. best ofs are a funny thing though, and it sometimes feels that releasing one after three albums is a rip off. what separates this one from a run-of-the-mill 'hits' effort is the tracks chosen for it, since in the main i think they've done an excellent job. album by album then...
debut 'ruby vroom' is represented well, though i would have ditched 'janine' and 'true dreams' in favour of 'supra genius' and 'uh zoom zip' (doughty almost rapping at one stage). for those of you who question his prowess as a lyricist (and i doubt anyone reading this does), witness the bile he injects into 'screenwriter's blues'. as caustic a monument to the lure of stardom as you could wish for - you will NEVER hear the word "fly" pronounced with more venom
'irrestistable bliss' is probably my fave sc album. was amazed and gratified by the presence of 'super bonbon' and 'soundtrack to mary', tracks which are almost too good for a best of. would have swapped 'the idiot kings' for 'how many cans?', if only to hear mr doughty sing "fire".
'el oso'. heresy perhaps, but i never rated 'circles' (the liner notes would suggest it was a throwaway 'hit' to get the record company off their backs) - swap for the haunting 'incumbent'. good to see the presence of 'rolling' and '$300' (see comments on 'super bonbon' above), and thank god too for the absence of 'so far...'. i mean its got an acoustic guitar in it, which makes it ideal 'best of' material, right?
so there you have it. call it almost or nearly (those words are probably a microcosm of the band's career) the perfect best of. also could have done without a completely superfluous remix, though good to hear the live version of 'casiotone nation'. a poor substitute for being there perhaps, but them's the breaks.

Bought it for 4 songs for a video. Worked out great!.

Buy this CD as an introduction to a well kept secret in the music world. The music is very mature, creative, and never boring. The lyrics thought provoking, the music hypnotic at times. Great rhythems and bass lines. One can;t help but make some comparisons the Dave Matthews Band, mostly their non radio material.

As an introduction to an excellent, highly underrated band, this album is not half-bad. Sure, it's missing a lot of essential songs ("Soft Serve", "Is Chicago, Is Not Chicago", "I Miss The Girl", etc.) but short of downloading it's the most comprehensive SC collection you'll find on the market. But I personally would recommend probably the most commercially successful album of theirs to start off with, Irrestible Bliss. That album will be enough to indicate whether you like this band or not.

For fans of the group - you're not really missing much if you don't pick up the album. There's some nice liner notes, a remix of "Super Bon Bon" and a live "Casiotone Nation", but nothing else that makes it worth purchasing. It would have been made more appealing if they gathered the band's soundtrack contributions and added a bonus disc of B sides if they were available (like they did with the Smashing Pumpkins best-of album).

In summary: Not a bad place to start if you want to check out one of the most innovative bands of the '90s, but few selling points for members of the Five Percent Nation.

Sadly only 3 weeks before Shanon's trajic end, he is as free spirited as they come. In this classic performance the essence of the 90's is perfectly captured as Blind Melon burns there mark in Rock n Roll history.

This is a great DVD. They play their favorite song "No Rain". I just wish Shannon Hoon (lead singer) didn't get his hair cut so short.

If you are a fan of Blind Melon, you need this DVD. This DVD is filmed shortly before Shannon passed away and it is true Blind Melon. Banjo, harmonica, and good music...

I now have a renewed appreciation for Blind Melon. I had no idea how great of a live band they were. I have always been a big fan of there music but did not get a chance to see them live. If your a Blind Melon fan this is a must have and if your not you wouldn't be sorry with this purchase. A group that can not be labeled...I miss the 90's.

This is a great live show.

I would recommend this if you liked the band, and if you don't, well then, you don't know what you're talking about and why are you wasting time reading this review- go search for Maneudo you pansy!

Anyway, this was a small venue show and really does a great job of capturing the feel and the energy that was in the room that night. I wish I could have been there. You really get to see how talented they were as a band and how truly strange Shannon Hoon really was. He was a great loss to the music world.

Product arrived promptly and in new condition as promised. Would definitely buy from again

This album is where BNL started to become a little more serious, that is not a bad thing. This album is awesome, possibly their best. It has such great songs, including "Celebrity", "Maybe Katie", "Another Postcard" and "War On Drugs". I also love the album art, it is beautiful and very well done. This is the band becoming more mature, and changing with the time. It is a great pleasure to own this CD!

I have recently been introduced to Barenecked Ladies Music. I have heard some of the songs from this cd on the radio and like them and thought I woudl go ahead and get this priduct. I have just purchased other BNL cds as well.

I originally came to bury this album, not to praise it. Upon first listening to it, my disgust was unbounded. Could this pathetic dreck be from the same band that produced "Maroon" and "Stunt", two desert-island albums of which pretty much every song is great? However, with additional listening, it kind of grows on you. It's not up to the standards of their best albums, and it contains several embarrassing tracks, like the stupid, trying-too-hard-to-be-whimsical "Another Postcard", but it's got some pretty good ones too, i.e. "War on Drugs", "Maybe Katie", "Have You Seen My Love?" All in all, it's a good, fun album in the BNL tradition.

Well, I am a bit of a BNL fan. My first album that I got was "Gordon" back in the 90's....I also have "Stunt" and "Greatest Hits". I happened to buy this album from an online auction thinking I'd give it to a friend when I visit her next month...I even told her I'd got it for her. But after a few listens I am really hooked on this album and will now have to buy another copy so we can have one each!!

There hasn't been a CD that came out this year that has blown me away, Time Again's "Darker Days" was pretty close, but not quite. In fact, nothing that I've bought in the last two years has blown me away. Basically, ever since the Suicide Machines broke up in 2006 I couldn't give anything more than 4 stars.

Well I guess when the present fails to satisfy, we need to go back 4 years.

I heard of this band when a local venue called me and asked me if my band wanted to open up for "Authority Zero" so naturally, I looked them up to see who I was opening up for. All the stuff on their myspace page is a little more mellow and reggae sounding, but at the show I noticed that they're stuff gets REALLY loud and fast and energetic, their fans are awesome, and that Jason has a voice that at this point in time is UNMATCHED! Hearing him sing "Rattlin' Bog" blowns me away to this day.

Unlike most punk, and I would call these guys punk more than I'd call them reggae, the sounds don't sound the same. "Society's Sequence" sounds nothing like "A Thousands Years of War" which sounds nothing like "Mexican Radio" Everything, however, is appealing and it all sounds really good. The basslines are awesome and I know how they are always independent of the guitars, something that's hard to find these days, even though they could have been a little louder when the songs were mixed. They go back and forth from punk to reggae to punk again and all the gray area in between. I guess compared to their first CD this is lighter on the reggae influence, but I picked this one up first so it doesn't really bother me, 'cause it's all new to me.

The only negative thing I can say right now is that I wish I wasn't so freakin' poor because I can't afford to get the rest of their stuff right now. Bummer. In conclusion, awesome band, awesome CD, pick it up if you're sick of being disappointed when you buy CDs these days. Every track satisfys and this CD will spend a good amount of time in your player.

Highlight tracks: "Retreat!" "Society's Sequence" "Madman" "A Thousand Years of War" "Mexican Radio"

Ok, heres the deal. Dont expect a flawless album, cos this isnt. But you can expect some seriously good tunes.

Find Your Way, Madman, Taking on the World, Mexican Radio are standout tracks. Revolution however is a serious gulf in class above the rest.

Authority Zero are a band from Arizona that sound like they have lived on a beach their whole life. They rarely fail to put a smile on my face.

ive been listening to authority zero for 6 years and i still cant get enough of their music. where i live they're locals so i go to alot of their shows and they never cease to amaze me.

I have been a fan of these guys for over 4 years, and they just keep getting better. This CD shows their amazing abilities and passion. They are the greatest live band I have ever seen. Energy flows out of every lyric, every bassline, every guitar riff, and every drum beat. They are one of the most creative and unique bands around. On top of all that, they are great guys. They always have time for their fans. They even sang a song just for my friend because it was his birthday and we have been fans for so long. This band deserves every bit of attention they get and I hope they continue to produce top-notch albums like this one.

i had heard someone tell me this band sounds like sublime. well about a month later i was looking at cds and found this album and decided what the heck..ill get it. i put this cd in and pretty much expected the average punk band of today(aka NOFX war on errorism style music). well i was shocked at how amazing this cd is for the music of today. the first 3 songs are great...the rest are good as well, usually cds drop off at the end. and yeah i say get this if your into bad religion, pennywise, sublime, against me! etc etc

Day of Fire Rocks my Socks off! Through their music, they help me to cling to what is true and right and make it through daily life. My shipment from Amazon came fast and in excellent order. I highly recommend this album to anyone who loves good old fashioned Rock and Roll!

This is an awesome cd, the music is very inspiring. My favorite song is "Cornerstone" it is a great song. I have seen them live, also, they are great.

I went into Day Of Fire's eponymous debut album not really knowing what to expect. I was never a fan of Josh Brown's previous band, Full Devil Jacket; heck, I never actually heard any of their music. All I do know is that the "rock star lifestyle," if you will, that Brown was living while fronting FDJ was ruining his life according to his testimony. The drugs, the alcohol, the promiscuous sex, you name it. After a while this lifestyle caught up to him, and he eventually left FDJ altogether to follow Jesus Christ. Like I said, I have never heard a Full Devil Jacket song, but judging by the faith-inspired lyrics heard in Day Of Fire's music I'd be willing to bet they were more on the negative side.

Anyway, onto the actual review of the album. It starts off strong with "Through The Fire," one of the best songs the release has to offer. However, directly after that comes "Detainer," one of the album's three weakest tracks. Matter of fact, the first half of the album follows this "strong song/weak song" pattern, in my opinion. The excellent "Cornerstone" (the first DOF song I heard courtesy of a good friend) is proceeded by the repetitive and not very inspired "Time." Sorry, but the chorus of "do you have the time, do you have the time..." doesn't do much for yours truly. "Fade Away" comes next and once again picks the album up on a positive note, but this doesn't last long as it is followed by "I Am The Door," which although it has a great message has too much of an 80s/arena rock vibe to it, as some other reviewers have mentioned.

With the exception of the rather pointless instrumental track "Adrianné" (named after Brown's wife), the second half of this album is better and more consistent. "Rain Song" is my personal favorite of the bunch, and "Jacob's Dream" is equally compelling. "Reap And Sow" is a bit short for my tastes, clocking in at just over two and a half minutes, but it rocks all the way through. The album closes with "To Fly," which although has an intro that sounds eerily similar to that of "I Am The Door" is an overall better song lyrically and musically.

So not counting the instrumental, we have ten fairly good, melodic yet gritty rock and roll tracks with Christian themes here, only three of which I don't particularly care for. Not a perfect album but certainly above average, so four stars it is. This album came out in 2004, and I have not yet listened to their 2006 sophomore release "Cut And Move" but I will definitely be picking it up soon. According to the band's MySpace page a third album is in the works but they are currently without a label, so they are looking to fan contributions for support.

Day of Fire records with Fireflight...be sure to check them out, too! If your teens want excellent punk/rock/metal but don't think it's possible in a Christian band, get them this CD...it will definitely change their minds!

What an amazing story of josh brown. I used to listen to Full devil jacket before I got saved and wondered what happend to them then one day I received my Bmg music club book and this was in there and i found out were Josh brown had got to. I am so glad he did make A decision for Christ. God loves all and I hope to see more rock stars get saved. I like rain song, corner stone the best but the whole album rocks. I here there New one comes out in june cant wait. May God bless all who reads this review

I truly enjoyed this CD. Great new arrangements of some of the best Parks music ever! To me Barenaked Ladies and Tim Curry are stand outs. I could have done without The Pointer Sisters doing "Yo Ho" but over all it's still a great listen!!!

I bought this CD because I'm a big POINTER SISTERS fan and wanted their one song on here to complete my collection. I enjoy their song, and I view this CD as basically one for die hard fans to complete their discographies of the recording artists who are on this CD. Fans of OLIVIA NEWTON-JOHN, LINDA RONSTADT, BARENAKED LADIES, POINTER SISTERS, PATTI AUSTIN , and the rest will probably just want their one song each just for their collection. I'm not a big fan of Disney songs. This CD is okay, not great. Probably the biggest goof is TIM CURRY doing THE BALLAD OF DAVY CROCKETT. He intentionally mocks the song with ad-libs & lines not in the original version. Surprising how they actually put it on this CD. I guess Disney purists will not like the new arrangements of most of these songs. Just for die-hards & completists, in my opinion.

This album wasn't in my frequent rotation for a long time. In fact, I only recently broke this out after I planned my daughter's first trip to Disney World. Though I question some of the interpretations on here, especially the Pointer Sisters' version of "Yo Ho," I must admit that this album has really captured my ear. Take 6, Barenaked Ladies and Patti Austin give wonderful performances of their respective songs. They are the highlights of a mostly good album. One song stands apart from the rest. Brian McKnight's stirring rendition of "Remember the Magic" is a moving experience. It alone makes this album worthy of purchase.

Overall, this album really is a good purchase. It's perfect for packing your bags for Disney World or just a quiet evening at home. All of these songs are fun, uplifting numbers that will quickly brighten the spark of childhood that all adults have somewhere deep inside of them.

I bought this C.D because I wanted "Music from the Park" not remakes of the true music that is in Walt Disney World. I was very disapointed when I started listening to the songs. A couple of years later I found the true music from the park called "Where magic lives, The official album from Walt Disney World". I bought it at Downtown Disney in Orlando but I'm not sure if it's available other places outside the park. The closest album available for sale here on amazon.com is "Walt Disney World Resort in Florida". It has almost all of the songs my CD has plus a few more. If you love the true music from the park I'd recommend one of these other CD's.

If you want the actual music used in the rides and attractions, buy one of the official WDW albums. These are Disney song covers by a variety of artists. Etta James makes "It's a Small World" meaningful and beautiful, Tim Curry has his tongue planted firmly in cheek in "The Ballad of Davy Crockett," and Take 6's lush accapella harmonies are outstanding on "When You Wish Upon a Star." As another reviewer said, David Benoit's "Spectromagic Medley" shimmers like the parade itself. Linda Rondstadt and Olivia Newton-John sing pretty straight-forward versions of familiar tunes, and Brian McKnight's sentimental "Remember the Magic," used in Disney World advertising, might bring a tear to your eye.
