The double-disc soundtrack to the blockbuster Saturday Night Fever (available on a single CD) marks both the zenith and the nadir of disco. It was such a popular sensation that it catapulted the music to stratospheric levels of mainstream popularity, and the album was the bestselling movie soundtrack of all time (until The Bodyguard, and then Titanic). But "Disco Fever" became so hot, it could only flame out just as quickly (along with the careers of the Bee Gees). With this record, disco became a phenomenon and a fad. The Bee Gees' contributions are the strongest, especially the once-ubiquitous "Stayin' Alive" and "Night Fever," and they still hold up. Then there's Walter Murphy's "A Fifth of Beethoven," a trivial piece of pop ephemera that may have set new standards for ephemeral triviality. How often will you listen to this record--and how much will you play when you do? There's no telling--but it remains a classic piece of pop history, and when you're in the mood it's a good thing to have around. --Jim Emerson

Oh the memories!.......2007-05-25
This is a time tested awesome soundtrack. It brought back so many memories for me. I was just a kid when it came out, but my mom had it on 8-track and we listened to it ALL THE TIME! Great music!!!
Soundtrack Review.......2007-05-15
I love this movie and of course mainly because of the music! I actually bought this for my mom and she absolutely loved it!
STAYING ALIVE!!!!!!.......2007-05-13
The movie soundtrack all of us have always dreamed to be able to dance like TONY MANERO!!!!!!!!
Saturday Night Fever...........2007-03-22
Save your money. You are better off purchasing the BEE GEES greatest hits CD. There are too many songs on this CD that the BG's didn't sing.
Soundtrack of an Era Puts an End to Hairy Music.......2007-03-09
Ironically, even though The Bee Gees had massive pelts and medals on their chests, their music on the soundtrack was a major breakthrough for the smooth or "hairless" sound. Prior to Saturday Night Fever, "hairy music" (unkempt, natural, course texture) from acts like BTO, Peter Frampton, and Fleetwood Mac dominated the charts. The hippy ethos of the 1960's had trickled into the mid-seventies, and ruled the top 40 like a shaggy tyrant. And it seemed like nothing could be done to stop it. (People forget that Fever hit the streets less than ten years after the play Hair opened. A seeming coup de grace for the hippies, Hair left good clean-shorn Americans wondering if this country would ever be normal again).
And then the Bee-Gees led a concept album (all disco!) named Saturday Night Fever, which "waxed" the hairy music sound right off the radio! Everyone remembers where they were the first time they heard a Fever song! It was "Staying Alive", April 7th, 1977. I was age 11. At 12:40pm, I was playing basketball at the park and admiring the girls' Ditto jeans. One girl had a portable am radio she set courtside. When Steve Martin's "King Tut" ended, "Staying Alive" came on!! All the 6th graders knew it: The dirty hippy era was over!!!
Epilogue: After Fever was released, a generation of school kids walked with a jaunty stride and blowdried their hair.... The national disco movement that Fever launched was soon joined by - you guessed it - hippies. A surprising number of hippies just washed their hair, changed into white suits, and stepped into the disco. Some people have argued that these "former" hippies introduced drugs and hedonism into the once pristine disco environment. Others disagreed, citing the lack of "lazy, flowery drugs" in discos.... In New York City, DJ's started talking over disco, telling jaded New Yorkers to have fun and throw their hands in the air. Thus, "rap" was born, and African-Americans reclaimed the term "rap" from hippies.... People still listen to Fever, like an aural Life magazine that chronicles a pivotal time in our great nation's history.... Americans now spend billions each year on hair management products. And Americans are now the least hairy people in world history.... Today, disco thrives. As a great poet once said, "Disco by any other name still has the same beats and high-sheen production values"....

Barely out of high school when signed as the first act for Powered By Ramen's new Decaydance imprint, guitarist Ryan Ross and drummer Spencer Smith of Panic! at the Disco had previously cut their musical teeth in a local Las Vegas Blink 182 cover band. It's that familiar, contempo-punk-pop sensibility, bolstered by the amped-up emo-core ambitions of singer Brendan Urie (typified by the snarky gem "The Only Difference Between Martyrdom and Suicide is Press Coverage") that dominates the opening tracks of the album. It's a shrewd hook, one the band steadily expands -- sonically and lyrically -- thereafter. The nervous energy of "London Beckoned Songs About Money Written By Machines" is set off by sonic embroidery that's sounds as intriguing as the vocoder shtick of "Nails For Breakfast..." does dated. Yet "Camisado" quickly shakes up Supertramp's prog-pomp with a double-shot of modern punk-pop smarts, an alchemy the band and producer Mint Squire performs with similarly inventive, genre-blurring ambition (complete with a quasi-Grand Guignol "Intermission" nearly worthy of Queen) on "Lying is the Most Fun..." and such standouts as "But Its Better If You Do" and the arch delight "Build God, Then We'll Talk." Too many young bands are content slaves to fashion; this one has forged a promising debut by shrewdly taking fashion hostage, then standing it firmly on its head. -- Jerry McCulley
Album Description
This Las Vegas band strives to create a unique sound by blending melody-driven rock with dance. This is a rock record you can dance to; that's fun and sincere at the same time. Produced by Matt Squire (Northstar, The Explosion, The Receiving End Of Sirens). Panic! At The Disco is the first band signed to Pete Wentz's (Fall Out Boy) Decaydance Records, a Fueled By Ramen imprint label. "...Imagine The Faint meets The Postal Service with all of the pop sensibilities of a Blink 182" - Peter Wentz. Touring with Fall Out Boy, The Starting Line, Motion City Soundtrack, and Boys Night Out this fall.

Intelligent, humourous and self-aware - popular music at it's best........2007-06-23
This has to be one of my favourite albums of recent years.
These guys have taken a lot of unfair criticism for their style but they are very smart about what they do - they know what is popular while still retaining their own distinct sound.
I love that synthesizers are making a come back. The synthesis of rock and electronica is done perfectly - I just wish they had kept their demos for the album too. They are more fun than the album versions are are more electronically influenced.
Perhaps I'm biased because I am primarily a fan of electronic music, but I really do think these guys have created the perfect blend. They don't overdo the electronic elements so people who are not too keen on that kind of sound won't have to hear it for long.
Again, brilliant album. We can only hope the sophomore effort exceeds their debut.
A Feaver you can't sweat out.......2007-06-15
"Let's get these teen hearts beating faster, faster!" Those are the chorus lines for one of Panic! at the Disco' s songs. They have gotten America's teens wanting more, quicker than most people thought possible.
Sounding really similar to the hit band Fall Out Boy, Panic! has become almost as famous. Even Pete Wentz, Fall Out Boy's bass player, didn't think they would make it big time, but Panic! exceeded expectations and made it far in the world of music.
Their first big hit, "I write sins not trageties" got everybody wanting more out of this new band. Another of their hits is "Lying is the most fun a girl can have without taking her clothes off".
Panic! has taken rock and made it darker and more emotional. Stories of love, dissapointment and death mixed in, to make one magnificent album.
The only thing that was dissapointing about this CD is that it only has thirteen songs and they're all just over three minutes long. That isn't a lot for the eighteen dollars paid for it.
There are only four people responsible for Panic!'s success. Those four people are Brendon Urie, Ryan Ross, Brent Wilson and Spencer Smith. These four talented musicians make up the muical phenomenon known as Panic! at the disco.
The more I listen to A Feaver You Can't Sweat Out, the more I love it. I always hear something new that I haven't heard before.
All in all, this album is extremly amazing musical experience that anybody will enjoy. "Will you dance to this beat and hold a lover close?"
It's bouncy, it's danceable, it's catchy...I like it.......2007-05-12
I consider Panic! at the Disco my ultimate guilty pleasure. My friends would slam me for listening to these guys, but when I go home at night, and I pop this CD in, I don't care because it is fun to listen to. It's a lot better than a lot of other mainstream music out there these days.
Favorite songs: The Only Difference, Time to Dance, But It's Better if You Do, I Constantly Thank God for Esteban, and Build God, Then We'll Talk.
An album I can't figure out.......2007-05-06
I'm not sure if it would be fair to classify Panic! At the Disco as an emo band because there seems to be more influences in their music; for example, an abundance of dominating keyboards here and there. Anyway, after hearing some talk about these high school buddies-turned-rock stars, I decided to see what their album A Fever You Can't Sweat Out had to offer.
This is another one of those albums that took a while to really get to the masses, considering it came out in 2005. But what the album has to offer is a whole lot of confusion AND comparison. For one thing, guitarist Ryan Ross wrote all the songs on the album, and when I looked at the lyrics I scratched my head as to what in God's name he's talking about. I mean, I even ask that when looking at the otherwise listenable singles "I Write Sins Not Tragedies" and "But It's Better If You Do".
Another thing is, well, sorry, but it's hard not to compare Panic to Fall Out Boy. Basically, reviewer Kathryn Jago took the words right out of my mouth, but I'll still throw in my two cents. First off, frontman Brendon Urie is a good vocalist and all, but he sounds a little too much like Patrick Stump. Second, you can sort of tell that Panic is signed to FOB bassist Pete Wentz's label because this album also is mostly made up of songs that not only have way-too-long titles, but the titles are never actually said in ANY of the songs. (That's not necessarily a bad thing, but considering how the album is structured, it doesn't exactly HELP matters either.) And while I understand that the techno interlude "Intermission" is just that, it's still pretty pointless.
Panic! At the Disco would be a lot better if they had more individuality, and if Ryan wrote much better material. At this point, if someone asked me for a short opinion on A Fever You Can't Sweat Out, I'd say, "Don't sweat it."
Anthony Rupert
Refreshing and addicting.......2007-03-30
This album is a large variation from all other punk bands, other rock bands, emo bands. The reason for that is probably because Panic! blends all those genres and adds dance and a theatrical touch to their songs. A Fever You Can't Sweat Out could actually work as a musical in my opinion. I know I'd see it.
1. Introduction - It does set up the album really well, but...it's just an introduction. (No rating)
2. The Only Difference Between Martyrdom and Suicide is Press Coverage - This song has everything in it. It has the acoustic part, the rocking part, the emo vocals, the dance feel, the bouncy punk tune, the lyrics that state who's telling the story throughout the album ("...I'm the narrator and this is just the prologue..."). Fantastic song. I raved to it in my room. I went over to my light-switch and starting turning it on and off while bobbing my head. Fun times. (10/10)
3. London Beckoned Songs About Money Written by Machines - Not really my favorite on the album, but that says more about the album than the song itself. Starts out rocking, ends in a little "weather forecast," which I liked. (8/10)
4. Nails For Breakfast, Tacks For Snacks - The best part in this song is when the song flips into this quiet part where Brendon Urie sings "...The hospice is a relaxing weekend getaway where you're a cut above all the rest...." Don't know why, but awesome part. Another song that isn't really my favorite. I guess it was just too electronically-driven. (8/10)
5. Camisado - Cool song. I liked it a lot. These vocals are the most emo Urie will get on the album. Again, I liked the quiet part of this song best: "...The IV and your hospital bed..." Danceable. This song puts things in perspective. You just need to listen to it. (10/10)
6. Time to Dance - Overrated, but awesome nonetheless. Love the vocals. To me, Camisado and this song seem like one song divided into two tracks. They sound the same in a lot of places, but there are just enough differences that save this song from sounding old. (9/10)
7. Lying is the Most Fun a Girl Can Have Without Taking Her Clothes Off - The only flaw with this song is the title. Don't know why it has to be so long, but it isn't my decision, so...whatever. The song is great. Maybe the best on the album. Lots of airplay hasn't ruined it. Quietly quick-paced verses, an energetic chorus and great lyrics. Doesn't get much better. (10/10)
8. Intermission - It may be just an intermission, but the best intermission ever. I like how it switched in the middle from the first part of the CD (the techno part) to the second (Vaudevillian, theatrical part) just like that. Awesome piano. (9/10)
9. But It's Better If You Do - Another song that's in the running for "Best Song on the Album." This is, by far, the most original. Very bouncy and...glamorous. When I hear this song, I can just imagine the band members driving around Las Vegas in a limo with their heads sticking out that little window on the top. With huge sunglasses too. Lots of flashing lights. (10/10)
10. I Write Sins Not Tragedies - Fun intro. Vocals too. I don't quite know what to say about this song, so I'll just leave it at...kickass. (10/10)
11. I Constantly Thank God For Esteban - Sort of Spanish theme, and really fun to sing to. By this point on the CD, Panic! just sounds like they're having fun with this album now. (9/10)
12. There's a Good Reason These Tables Are Numbered Honey, You Just Haven't Thought of It Yet - Whichever band member thought it was ingenious to give a 16-word title for a song sucks...but makes great music. This is a great song. You can sing (which is fun) to it and dance (which I don't typically 'cause I'm a dude) to it. Awesome vocals (again) and great explosive ending. This song reminds me of a 16th century banquet, with all those masks and stuff like Romeo and Juliet. (10/10)
13. Build God, Then We'll Talk - Had to grow on me a little, 'cause I was expecting a lot from this song, but it did grow on me, and now I love it. Great bouncy guitars. Didn't know you could do that with a guitar. I love the cellos and violins towards the climax in the song. Love the "...Raindrops on roses..." part. Very fun song to sing to. (10/10)
So all in all, this is a love-it or hate-it CD. That's the way it seems to be with everyone. It's because Panic! is so original that you are forced to take a stance on the CD. I'm obviously part of the "love-it" group. This is a vocally-driven CD. I've learned every word from Track 7 on. You'll be addicted to this soon. I was. And this is a very danceable CD, but if you're an insecure guy, I suggest you don't. I am very certain that I'm straight, so I'll dance to those irresistible ones.
But yes, buy it. And help the economy.

Ten years had passed since Petty's last solid outing (Damn the Torpedoes in 1979), and Full Moon Fever fully resuscitated the artist's career, which--some would say "arguably"--had been losing steam. With the album's four major hits and rave reviews from the critics (these things do not always go hand-in-hand), Petty must have breathed a sigh of relief. He left the Heartbreakers behind, hooked up with musician, writer, and producer Jeff Lynne, and rocked out with "Runnin' Down a Dream," got mellow and introspective on "Free Fallin'" and "A Face in the Crowd," and paid tribute (finally) to the Byrds with a cover of "Feel a Whole Lot Better." He perfected the sing-along guitar-pop song on "Yer So Bad" and had a wild time on "Zombie Zoo." Pure Petty perfection! --Lorry Fleming
Customer Reviews:
it doesn't get much better than this.......2007-03-08
I recently started to listen to Tom Petty's music and i have to say this record is fantastic. from the heartbreakers to bob dylan to george harrison to Jeff Lynne its all here and its an amazing creative piece of work.
Petty's first solo hit ranks behind most of his other discs.......2006-11-05
This is one catchy album which saw Tom step away from the Heartbreakers brand of rock and roll and venture into a more pop orientated scene. Jeff Lynne co wrote tracks and produced this album, one of a string of his successes as a producer.
This album, is catchy from start to finish, some of the songs are below par but such as the musical spirit, lightheartedness and joy, they come across, each as catchy radio hits.
Free Fallin', I Won't Back Down and Running Down a Dream were solid hits from this release and are up there with his most popular songs especially for the 2nd generation of Petty fans. They are concert staples and are songs that gained him further respect as a songwriter and thrust him to the top, all over MTV, he was hip again and rode the wave of success well into the 90's.
The Apartment Song was a left over from the early to mid 80's and the rest of the songs were written with Jeff. Initially rejected by the record company, this album turned out to be his 2nd highest charting and one of his best selling albums that was nominated for album of the year at the Grammy's.
This album for me ranks in the middle of his catalogue, there are alot of better albums, including his most recent and his earlier works. Pop fans will love this for the songs they always heard on radio, it is a good introductory/early album to buy for new fans. This album is in need of a remaster.
Pretty good..........2006-11-05
Unlike most of the other reviewers, I didn't think this album was 100% gold. In fact, it seemed to me the album (side A) started out with the strongest material (the three big singles are all in the first 5 songs) and then it went downhill for me. Overall, side B was kind of bla for me, and sounded rather unfinished (notice the average song on side A is much longer than side B, and Mike Campbell's contributions are all on side A). There wasn't much guitar work, maybe owing to the fact that this was more a solo effort, and songs like "A Mind With a Heart of Its Own" and "Zombie Zoo" replace Mike Campbell's guitars with organs and excessive backing vocals. "Alright for Now" is a really short lullabye that never really goes anywhere, stays in the lull it begins with and has some pretty uninspired lyrics. "Depending on You" and "The Apartment Song" are the same for the entire song and has the same drums and guitars the whole way through and are very repetitive, along with "A Mind With a Heart of its Own."
Needless to say, the strong points of this album make it worth getting, but if you already have "Anthology" you have every really good song on this album. Personally, although I thought the follow-up "Into the Great Wide Open" did not have as many really strong tracks, it was more consistent overall and had the catchy riffs which would have made up for what is lacking here. Clearly he developed a new style on this record and an ability to not take himself so seriously, but I just thought side B left a lot to be desired and each song kind of ended where it started staying the same throughout with some very throwaway lyrics ("I'm all right. I just feel a little lonely tonight. I'm OK most of the time. I just feel a little lonely tonight").
Check out "Echo" and the soundtrack to "She's the One" for some of TP's most underrated work, this I would say is a tad overrated.
Outstanding Work From Petty - With the Help of Some Wilburys.......2006-10-12
As the music scene progressed in the 1980s, things began to change in the pop music landscape. The synth-pop sound that had dominated the 1980s was now being replaced by a more "natural" guitar-laden sound. This trend was promoted by such artists like John Mellencamp and John Fogerty who would enjoy commercial success as well as critical acclaim. Five musicians in the 1980s would also find themselves at the center of this movement on the music landscape. Jeff Lynne of ELO was working with George Harrison on his "Cloud Nine" album. At the same time Lynne was working with Roy Orbison.. The story goes that Lynne, Harrison, and Orbison all agreed to sing on Orbison's song. They needed a place to record, so they contacted Bob Dylan to use his studio. Meanwhile word is that George's guitar was with Tom Petty (who was also working with Lynne). The rest is history and a supergroup called "The Traveling Wilburys" was born. The Wilburys would enjoy enormous success. While some people felt that Lynne was the weak member of the Wilburys, he was the man who also brought them all together. As mentioned, Lynne was also working with Tom Petty at the time on a "solo project". That project would turn out to be his highly successful 1989 album, "Full Moon Fever". "Full Moon Fever" not only encapsulates the guitar-laden sound that had now taken over the landscape, but it also brings 3 of the 4 other Wilburys (the exception being Bob Dylan) into the fold.
The Traveling Wilburys would release two albums - "Volume 1" and "Volume 3". There was no "Volume 2". However over the years, "Full Moon Fever" has unofficially become "Volume 2". In fact there is a Russian Import version that actually labels "Full Moon Fever" as "Volume 2". As mentioned this was technically a "solo album" by Tom Petty. For years, Petty had recorded with his band - "Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers". While this was a "solo album", there are many of the Heartbreakers that are present on this album. Howie Epstein lends background vocals to two songs - "Love is a Long Road" and "I Won't Back Down". Benmont Tench lends his piano for "The Apartment Song". Finally, Mike Campbell - possibly one of the most sought after musicians in the business contributes throughout the whole "Full Moon Fever" collection - including guitars, mandolin, bass, and keyboards.
When Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers burst on the music scene - they appealed to a wide variety of musical styles including Classic Rock, New Wave, and even Punk. However, I feel that Petty's roots were still in Southern Rock. "Full Moon Fever" definitely isn't rooted in Southern Rock, but it does have a strong incorporation of the guitar-laden sound mentioned. This isn't an album where you are going to hear horns or a string section. While you hear some keyboards, it will be the guitars that are going to be the story of this album - whether it's electric or acoustic, every song will make an integral use of the guitar. On top of that, given Petty's unique voice - this really becomes something special. I give a lot of credit to Lynne for putting this all together. It's kind of ironic that Lynne was able to pull off producing both "Full Moon Fever" and the Traveling Wilburys. Lynne was known for his intricate orchestral arrangements with ELO, yet Lynne finds a way to make the natural guitar-laden sound work for Petty on this collection.
"Full Moon Fever" is known for the "hits" that were spurned off this album - these songs being: "Free Fallin", "I Won't Back Down", and "Runnin' Down a Dream (to a lesser extent "Yer So Bad" and "A Face in the Crowd" were also hits). These are good songs, but surprisingly, I found the "other songs" to be the strong points of this collection. Songs such as "Love is a Long Road", "Feel a Whole Lot Better", "Depending on You", "The Apartment Song", "Alright for Now", "A Mind With a Heart of It's Own", and "Zombie Zoo" were the albums strongest songs. Any of these songs could have easily been released as singles and could have achieved a high level of commercial success.
As mentioned, three of the Wilburys make contributions to this album Roy Orbison lends his background vocals to "Zombie Zoo". George Harrison lends Acoustic Guitar and Background Vocals to "I Won't Back Down". Lynne, while lending his hand at co-producing this album with Petty and Mike Campbell also lends Vocals, Bass, Guitar, and Keyboards to the effort. Who can forget the terrific vocal jam between Petty, Harrison, and Lynne on "I Won't Back Down" - i.e. the classic "Hey Baby!". While Harrison didn't directly contribute to the track "Feel a Whole Lot Better", I'd like to think he had some influence on the cover of the Byrds' "Feel a Whole Lot Better". This cover gives the song a distinct Beatle-sque quality. I give Petty a lot of credit for being able to pull this off. At the same time, Petty also remains true to his Southern Rock roots. "A Mind With a Heart of It's Own" definitely sounds like something Petty would have done with the Heartbreakers. Finally, if you want to hear Tom Petty do a lullaby, listen to "Alright for Now".
Perhaps the most interesting part is when Petty puts an interruption prior to the start of "Feel a Whole Lot Better". This interruption tells CD listeners to "wait" until LP or Cassette listeners are able to flip over their media on their player - most humorous.
The liner notes do include all of the lyrics and all of the musician credits and acknowledgements. Overall, fans of Tom Petty and the Wilburys will not be disappointed with this effort. Although this collection does have a guitar-laden sound, it will have a lot of appeal to the mainstream. This is one collection I highly recommend.
How can you go wrong with Tom Petty?.......2006-07-09
I was especially pleased with the cover of the Byrd's Feel a Whole Lot Better -- I didn't know that was on there.

Well before the release of this solid but slender debut, the Brooklyn-based Yeah Yeah Yeahs were the subject of so much international press hype that the White Stripes were probably taking quick, nervous peeks over their shoulders. But while Fever to Tell captures a lot of what's good about the trio--mostly the caterwauling energy of their club shows--it also exposes the band's limitations. Singer Karen O is the undeniable star here, contorting her voice from a primal P.J. Harvey growl to the pre-orgasmic purr of Chrissie Hynde. Nick Zinner chops, slashes, and torpedoes his guitar around, across, and straight at O's voice, while drummer Brian Chase delivers a suitably raw trash-can thump. There are a lot of cool sounds on this 11-song, 37-minuute disc, and enough metallic-KO attitude to make a bare-chested grandpa like Iggy Pop proud. What's missing is a more varied set of fully fleshed-out songs, the kind it took the White Stripes four albums to write. Hype too early in a career can be terrible burden--ask Liz Phair or, soon enough, the Vines. Better to enjoy Fever to Tell for what it is--an uninhibited blast of garage-rock fury--without swallowing extravagant claims for a potentially great band still under construction. --Keith Moerer
Customer Reviews:
OH YEAH!!!!.......2007-05-22
This is an interesting CD. If you're a fan of the punk genre or are just looking for a new sound -- BUY THIS CD.
The female vocalist has a really intriguing presentation. She growls, howls -- and carries a tune. Some of the songs are very catchy (my favorites are trak 1, maps and y control).
The best aspect of this band is the female singer. She is different (to say the least) and she carries it off so well. I never get tired of her vocals. I'm always interested in female singers that can actually sing and that have a strong presentation and she excels in those areas (in my opinion).
If you like strong female vocalists and engaging punk rock, this CD won't disappoint.
Perfect condition.......2007-05-14
The CD said it had no scratches - and it didn't. PLays like new and got here in a couple of days. Very good experience!
Awesome album.......2007-05-04
Creative, aggresive, original. Highly recommended if you like bands that start with THE (stripes, vines, etc)
You'll love this CD if you're hyperactive........2007-01-28
I bought this CD after seeing the music video for "Maps". I didn't know anything about the band so I was really surprised when I was listening to this CD. This album really rocks. When "Date With the Night", "Black Tongue", and "Tick" was playing, I couldn't stay still. They have a great sound; the album doesn't sound over-produced like any of the mainstream bands out there. There isn't one song on this disc that I didn't like. It's too bad their sound has changed; it's no longer sexy or nearly aggressive as most of the tracks on this album.
If you don't like it, don't review it!.......2007-01-13
Please don't compare this (or anything) to Pretenders I, since that album is one of the best in rock history. This however has a sound of it's own. Sure you can say Karen screams or whatever, she's not perfect (and what exactly is it that Bjork is doing?) If you haven't seen them live, then you have no business reviewing them. Nick Zinner does a pretty good job on guitar too. And for those you think otherwise, listen to their follow-up "Show Your Bones". Again, the haters are just jealous struggling 30-something "musicians" (more like scenesters) who are living off Top Ramen and Mac n' Cheese, just waiting for someone to discover them on MySpace. Give it up already.

Houma homeboy Tab Benoit may have snuck up on some blues fans, but his status as the best and brightest of modern Louisiana bluesmen is now too obvious for any to ignore. His swamp-saturated sound and incisive Telecaster attack, also heard on the Whiskey Store and Whiskey Store Live dueling-guitar albums with Jimmy Thackery, easily personalizes classics, such as Elmore James's "I Can't Hold Out," featured here with saxist Jimmy Carpenter. But Benoit's at his best with the bayou beat. As on 2003's The Sea Saint Sessions, Benoit spotlights the musical heritage of New Orleans by using two guest vocalists who are Crescent City icons: Mardi Gras Indian "Big Chief" Monk Boudreaux and dynastic percussionist/vocalist/composer Cyrille Neville. Boudreaux vocally parades through "Golden Crown" at a fittingly funky Mardi Gras tempo, while Neville provides two songs: the percussion-embellished "Little Girl Blues" and the history lesson "The Blues Is Here to Stay," on which he vocally duets with Benoit between some of the album's best guitar work.
Buddy Guy's "I Smell a Rat" is the album's longest track as Benoit, beginning with a tasty intro, takes his most extended guitar workout, conjuring up a late-night blues club feel in the process. Benoit also contributes three originals, including the zydeco-tinged title track, an anthem of Cajun pride that serves him well as a signature song. Also his is the swamp stomper "Night Train," the album opener. At the other end is a surprise finale, a sublime front-porch, finger-picking acoustic rendition of "My Bucket's Got a Hole in It". --Michael Point
Customer Reviews:
Very pleasantly surprised.......2007-05-14
I had never heard of Tab Benoit until I heard him on Sirius Channel 74. I decided to explore and settled on this CD. Let's just say I wasn't disappointed, this is a great disc.
hear him in person!.......2007-02-14
Oh my gosh, he took the audience away. We are Califorians and maybe we get to see the best. Coach House performance was unbelieveable........
Gumbo blues.......2005-10-02
Tab gives one of his best album performances with raw edged blues, Louisiana-style.
In New Orleans the Blues will Never Die.......2005-09-16
Guitarist Tab Benoit's newest presents a lively aray of cajun flavored sounds -- from straight ahead blues to Zydeco. In the wake of the Katrina disaster it will contribute to our resolve that the spirit and sounds of New Orleans and the Bayou will be seen and heard again. Laissons les Bons Temps Roulez!
AWESOME!!!.......2005-07-31
This is Tab's best studio CD since Standing on the Bank. I Smell a Rat is the BOMB! Tab is mistaken for a "new" artist. He has been recording since 1992 and only plays smaller venues. This is part of the reason for his limited notariaty. The other part of the equation is his determination to play only blues and not go commercial (rock) with his music. I own every CD he has put out. Each one shows his progression as a guitarist and performer. I think Fever for the Bayou is a return to his earlier music with out all the extra instruments and vocals. If you ever have the chance to see Tab live, do it. The show will blow you away!

Interlude is great........2007-03-09
I wanted a CD that captured the mood and feelings of the movie. The score sort of recycles itself. Its important to know the title of the song so that you can understand the music. This is really a great Soundtrack.
My favorite part is the interlude, its a little long but how else can you capture the whole movie in just a few minutes!
great musik.......2007-03-08
This cd is the parfait double of the film.
You just have to lesson it for being in the film. Great tunes.
A must have!.......2007-02-21
This is a good cd, although it was not exactly what I was expecting. I was hoping for more lyrics in the songs rather than just the music, as it was sung in the movie. Although I love the music just the same.
Put it on and dream.......2007-01-09
The music is so pleasant. It is something that inspires thought.
Lots of instrumental pieces.......2007-01-05
This is a great CD, but if you are looking for a lot of gospel tunes you might be disappointed, there are many instrumental peices, that are pretty however.

Fever was released on a wave of publicity as the lead single, "Can't Get You out of My Head," battled on the U.K. charts with the debut effort of Spice diva Victoria Beckham--and it won spectacularly. Kylie Minogue's sound has progressed again since the disco-inspired Light Years, plundering the retro style of post-disco electro from the late 1970s and showing what might have happened if Kraftwerk had produced Donna Summer or Chic. Unlike most pop albums, or indeed pop artists, Fever is geared toward high-energy dance rather than pedestrian "I love lovin' you" ballads. Aside from the aforementioned hit single, another standout is "Give It to Me," a great piece of dance pop that has everything from Britney-style wailings to Basement Jaxx funk wrapped up with a catchy and typically suggestive chorus. The closest Minogue gets to a gentler moment is at the very end with "Burning Up," a breezy guitar progression with a laid-back melody, but it doesn't last long as the need to start dancing again takes hold and Fever breaks into some electro funk, finishing on a definite high. --David Trueman
Customer Reviews:
An instant classic!.......2007-05-04
Kylie Minogue is all around hotness! This CD alone was a soundtrack to my entire Summer when it came out! That was one hell of a great summer! ;-)
Contagious.......2007-04-24
On the strength of her radio hit "Can't Get You Out Of My Head," Kylie Minogue had a hit album with this 2002 release. Fever is an addictive spin as Kylie offers a great collection of dance tunes filled with modern, techno beats laced with a disco groove. Her vocals drizzle with a sensuality heard before by the likes of Madonna and Debbie Harry. And the songs themselves are the perfect backdrop for your next house party, an evening of passionate romance, or working out.
Oh Yeah...That's it...A little bit faster...yes..Yes!!!..YES!!! Oh Kylie!!!!! .......2007-04-02
Sweaty dance grooves dipped in sticky sweet sex is what you get when you put on Kylie Minogue's Fever.
"Come into my world" pants and pleads with heart poppin' button poppin' grooves.
"Love at first sight" and "Can't get you" offer up catchy poppy melodies covered in hot flaming ecstacy.
"More More More" pulsates and throbs in non stop give it to me till we explode pleasure,"Fragile" cruises along in soft delicate sensuality, and "Your Love" bounces with the climactic orgasmic high of totally falling for someone.
Fever is simply red hot and sexy and will get your bottom shakin' and your heart racing in it's effortless dance whirlwind of carnal savagery laced with a silk glove.
Buy it, do it, love it, Get the Fever.
Musical Fever For Sure.......2007-03-07
This is a great CD. The songs feel much more modern than on Light Years but feel more 70's disco than Body Language. She creates a electric sound that will get you on the dance floor in a matter of minutes even without your concent. This is expertly crafted pop. In Your Eyes is one of the, if not the, best pop songs I've ever heard. From begining to end it's hot. An amazing CD. Don't pass up your chance to listen to this gem.
The Key Tracks Are: In Your Eyes, More More More, LOve Affair, Love at First Sight, Can't Get You Out Of My Head, Give It To Me, and the bonus japan verson track Tightrope.
Sweet spun sugary pop perfection........2007-01-09
Kylie Minogue hasn't concocted such a sweet confection since 'Fever'. I usually shun pop music like the plague, but this as some of our German friends call it 'an earworm'. It's that and a guilty pleasure, however not emabarrasing enough not to admit I own this album. It's a classic. It's Kylie Minogue's swan song.
Everyone knows her super-hit "Can't get you out of my head". That song is a piece of musical genius. You may call it formulaic but it's pop music, and good pop music. The chorus of this will ring in your ears for days after listening to it.
'CGYOMH' isn't the only gem on this disk. "Love at first sight", "Fever", "Fragile", "Give it to me", "Come into my world", "In Your Eyes" and "On The Dancefloor" are all standout tracks. That pretty much names them all. There is not one bad track on this. Kylie Minogue proved with this album that she is the queen of pop music. Her newer album 'Body Language' will be quite a disappointment if you like this. Hopefully this 2007 we'll see Kylie return to form, after battling breast cancer, bless her heart.

Album Description
Drew Barrymore and Jimmy Fallon star in this comedy with something for everyone! It's a romantic comedy with a baseball theme! Adapted from the Nick Hornby (High Fidelity, About A Boy) novel, the story follows the trials and tribulations of Lindsey (Barrymore) a successful woman in love with Ben (Fallon). Everything starts off great when their relationship starts in the off-season, but when baseball starts up again in the Spring, their relationship becomes a love triangle with the Boston Red Sox as the third party!
In production during the season when the Red Sox broke their decades-long "curse," Fever Pitch's finale was famously filmed on the winning field as the Sox finally closed the deal and won the pennant!
Customer Reviews:
Tessie.......2007-03-20
I bought this album because i liked the movie so much..And I became a Red Sox fan...My favourite song is Tessie..
No Bosstones? No Aerosmth? What????.......2006-04-23
Boston is one of the greatest musics scenes known to man....Aerosmith may be the most famous band missing, but the ommission of the Mighty Mighty Bosstones is a travesty. At least they included "Tessie", the song made popular in 1918, and by doing so, they included the Dropkick Murphy's, another great Boston Band. But no Bosstones, Aerosmith, Guster, Aimee Mann, Pixies, Buffalo Tom, Slide (who released a CD in 95 or 96 entitled "Forgiving Buckner"), Julian Hatfield, The Lemonheads, Chubby, or other great Boston Bands. Could have been an ode to Boston, instead, it was a joke.
Well Balanced Soundtrack.......2005-10-15
I like the fact that they chose some lesser know bands to go along with the veteran bands. In particular, the track Window Pane, by Mad Larry was a huge standout. What a great tune. Hopefully the trend will continue and give indie bands the boost in name recognition they're working hard for.
No Aerosmith!.......2005-10-13
How can you have a movie about Boston without the city's most famous band on the soundtrack(or in the movie for that matter)? Seriously though, this soundtrack is a bore.
Run Drew.......2005-09-30
If anyone is looking for the song that plays while Drew Barrymore is running across the baseball field to Jimmy Fallon...its actually on the soundtrack...but it hides itself very carefully in fact.
Its called "Who Killed Tangerine" by Tears for Fears. Just wait for it...wait for it...until the end...then you'll remember it.
Hope this helps those of you that just want to find that song you're looking for and be done with it...not have to search through a thousand other songs before you finally find the one you were looking for in
the first place.
and remember...its not over...it never was over.

Boogie Down.......2007-07-10
With the years of movie musicals arose in recent times around Hollywood and at the movies, the music seems to be just as important as it was years ago. Films like Dreamgirls and the upcoming Hairspray with John Travolta, remind people of just how important the music has to blend into a great film. That also can be said about the classics too in Travolta's dyas back in the 1970's. With Grease and Saturday Night Fever, he was everywhere, and just a darling with the music. However, the musical icons of last year, The Bee Gees have often been overlooked in recent years, in favor of wannabe acts that're more about gloss like Kelly Clarkson, and the irritating Paris Hilton who is just a singer who acts like a jerk. But, their music has received a big overhaul, and one of most popular records has too.
The 2007 re-release of the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack, was in regards to last years overhaul and move of The Bee Gees catalog from Universal and MCA, to Warner Brothers in the U.S. The albums sound great, and the music from the popular 70's film still are just as exciting to listen too, as they were developed 30 years ago. The songs on the soundtrack take you back to a time when everybody went to discos as an escape from everyday life, and the music was full of rhythm and life. The songs here including all of the Bee Gees classics like Night Fever, the soulful How Deep Is Your Love, and the cult favorite Stayin' Alive. Although the soundtrack is mainly about The Bee Gees, there are other great songs here as well including The Tramps Disco Inferno, and Yvonne Elliman's one hit wonder track If I Can't Have You. Although there aren't any new tracks that were added like the original was made, the songs here really sound better than ever, and still are great to whole new dancers everywhere.
All in all, the soundtrack to Saturday Night Fever is a great buy for anyone who is into classic movie soundtracks. I absolutely love the songs here, and if you're a fan of John Travolta, or love The Bee Gees, than I definitely recommend this album a whole lot. It still makes you want to feel like you're Stayin' Alive no matter what!

Album Description
Though held in high esteem by '60s psych aficionados, this Houston band never met with much commercial success, only notching the #91 hit 'San Francisco Girls (Return of the Native)' in 1968. But part of the reason for that is also the reason these albums, their first two and only essential releases, are so much fun to listen to; this was a band with big ambitions, working classical and jazz influences and unusual instrumentation into the rock format well before such a thing became commonplace, pointing the way towards the prog-rock movement to come. We've added notes featuring quotes from multi-instrumentalist Rob Landes that set the scene...a Collectors' Choice Music exclusive! Includes `Imitation Situation 1 (Toccata and Fugue)/Where Do You Go?'; `San Franciscan Girls (Return of the Native)'; `Ninety-Nine and One-Half'; `Man Who Paints the Pictures'; `Filigree and Shadow'; `The Sun Also Rises'; `Day Tripper/We Can Work It Out'; `Nowadays Clancy Can't Even Sing'; `Unlock My Door'; `Come with Me (Rainsong)'; `Man Who Paints the Pictures II'; `What Time Did You Say It Is in Salt Lake City?'; `Don't Come Crying to Me Girl'; `Fever; Grand Candy Young Sweet'; `Jokes are for Sad People'; `I've Never Seen Evergreen'; `Peace of Mind', and `Death Is the Dancer'.

My hat's off to Neil.......2007-07-07
I've always found a good way to find new music is to find out who the bands you listen to enjoy. So when I came across a reference to this band in Neil Peart's book Roadshow I decided to look them up and wound up buying the album. All I can say is "Thanks Neil!" This is a solid and thoroughly enjoyable band. While they may have not been at the forefront of the psychedelia movement they are certainly worth a listen. The material runs from bluesy guitar driven tracks to laid back piano pieces, with horns, strings,and organ adding jazz and classical touches. At his heaviest the vocalist could have fronted Deep Purple, while in his softer moments I hear a touch of Neil Diamond. Most of the material is original, but they cover the likes of Wilson Pickett and the Beatles. The end result is an album that doesn't quite make the A list, but certainly shouldn't be forgotten.
Get the "Fever" !!! The first two Fever Tree albums are now on one little CD!!! .......2007-03-27

A great spin!!! Two thumbs up!!! Five stars!!! A+
an early gem in psyc rock////.......2006-11-17
i traded for this lp when it first came out and i was hungry for the new and classy rock approaches/this filled the ticket and i listened to it over and over again/it contains variety and has a great flow/i recommend these pieces for anyone who enjoys a solid psyc approach that is very accessable and creative/i put this work up there with the first deep purple and moby grape because it is timeless, fresh and an exceptional listen even years later/i won't take this one out of the house; too precious/you might give 'bangor flying circus' a listen, as it is also a classic in my humble opinion/with the bonus of getting the second album on one cd,this is a great deal/
