Album Description

Platinum-selling recording artist Deborah Cox reinterprets the classic songs of Dinah Washington on her Decca debut, Destination Moon. Destination Moon thrusts the R&B/dance diva into whole new territory, showcasing her range and scope as an artist capable of tackling jazz, blues and "big-band" with ease and confidence. Deborah Cox's first exposure to Washington came very early, when she was a little girl. "I first became aware of Dinah when I was growing up, when I was about 8 or 9 years old" she says. "A lot of jazz was played about the house. I heard my mother playing a 45 of "This Bitter Earth" -- this first song I had ever heard from Dinah. It was the richness and the tonality of her voice that I gravitated to." For the arrangements and the production, Deborah turned to the highly-versatile New York-based music man Rob Mounsey, whose credits with such diverse performers include Paul Simon, Steely Dan, Aretha Franklin and Tony Bennett to name a few. The record was made live in the studio, with 40 musicians in the same room with her, playing and singing in real time under Mounsey's direction. "I'm doing this to broaden people's awareness of what I can do and also for the sheer love of her music." As a result, Deborah's homage to Dinah Washington does not lean overwhelmingly toward one particular style. It was designed from the beginning to be a compendium of several of Dinah's idioms - the big-band swing of "All Of Me" and "Destination Moon," swaggering R&B ("I Don't Hurt Anymore)," the blues that earned her the misleading nickname "Queen of the Blues" ("Misery," "New Blowtop Blues"), the lush ballads that put her on the jukeboxes of Middle America ("What A Diff'rence A Day Made," "This Bitter Earth").

Deborah Shines.......2007-07-05

From her self-titled debut, to One Wish, to The Morning After to Destination Moon, Deborah's albums are like mini-greatest hits compilations, and Deborah scores again with her interpretations of Dinah Washington's songs on Destination Moon. Deborah has the best voice in contemporary music today, and this album continuously showcases her incredible range and talent. Personal favorites will include the title track, "Misery", and "This Bitter Earth". The album's best songs are "What a Difference a Day Makes" and the closing "Look to the Rainbow". Flawless from start to finish, Deborah again creates a masterpiece.

Jazz & Blues with Deborah !.......2007-06-25

Deborah takes the less is more approach with her first collection of standards. With a restraint that gives the arrangements plenty of room to breathe, she croons beautifully, showing us different facets of her vocal personality.
While her hits have generally called on her to be very angry or very sad, these classic songs allow her to be at turns gentle, sassy, reflective, happy and wry. The productions and arrangements are reminiscent of the golden era of era of Billie, Sarah, Dinah and others, but contain enough surprises to keep them from sounding old-fashioned.
Deborah - who shifted from pop siren to Broadway star with Aida, further expands her range to include jazz, blues and big band. Cox and her backing musicians were recorded live in the studio, playing and singing in real time. The effect pays off as Cox accurately renders each song with her own textures.
No one expects Cox to abandon the dance-floor (she just released a new dance track with Tony Moran), but her latest offering "Destination Moon" allows her to explore another musical landscape with glowing results.
Deborah takes the jazz route on "Destination Moon", a tribute to one of her all-time heroines, Dinah (The Queen) Washington. Whether you view it as a tribute album, a jazz debut or just a collection of good music, this album succeeds on all levels. From the swinging big-band to piano-voice ballads, Cox captures the essence of Washington, yet adds her own touches. Washington's milestone recordings are here. Cox gives "What a Difference a Day Makes" a mid-tempo turn with strings, getting the Queen's innocent voicing, but injecting more feeling into the lyrics.
"Baby, You've Got What It Takes" comes at us as a fast shuffle. Cox fills "This Bitter Earth" with Washington tics - the up-speak at the end of phrases, the self-satisfied "mmh-hmmm" after a line. Washington first made her name as a blues singer, and Cox lays the blues on in "Misery" and "New Blowtop Blues", that classic mean-woman lament where she sings of her run-in with a jealous ".45-packin' mama."
On "Destination Moon", focusing on Washington, the jazz singer, dishing out several of the standards most closely associated with her career, Deborah also wraps her powerful pipes around gems like "I Don't Hurt Anymore", "September in the Rain" and "Smoke Gets in Your Eyes".
Producer/arranger Rob Mounsey pulled out all the stops for these sessions, surrounding Cox with a 40-piece orchestra that laid down a gorgeous foundation for her to build on. And she did just that.
In an interview conducted to promote her new album, , Cox said she recorded this record for two reasons -- to pay tribute to an artist who had so inspired her and to show that she, like Washington, was capable of doing a lot more musically than some people might have expected.
She succeeded on both counts. It's very nice work.
Think long, rainy afternoons, dinners for two and early mornings on the patio.

This is one of the top CD of this Year!!!.......2007-06-20

This CD is Amazing!!! Deborah Cox vocals are outstanding! I was very surprised to hear that she had a new CD release. They should be promoting this album like crazy. At first i heard that this was a throwback album so i wasn't sure how to take this but i went and purchased it anyway and i'm amazed at her depth of talent. Her Phrasing is just perfect and the live instrument just add to the excitement of the music. I would have to say that this is the top album released this year as a tribute.
Also check out Amel Larrieux new CD its the same kind of music. I love it!
Enjoy and reccomend!

Amazing departure from the beautiful Deborah Cox.......2007-06-20

When most people think of Deborah Cox, they immediately think of the diva of club anthems (Absolutely Not, Nobody's Supposed To Be Here, Something Happened On The Way To Heaven)--the woman with a voice that makes you want to dance all night long. When I first learned of Destination Moon, I had my reservations. Then, once I'd heard some track clips that were posted on her official website, I knew I was going to love this cd. Sure enough, Deborah Cox breathes new life into the songs (some classics, some not) of the legendary Dinah Washington. Her voice is so pure and rich, the songs so soothing--I imagine (or, rather, would like to think) that her (Ms. Cox) legions of younger fans will look deeper into the discography of the great Ms. Washington, and discover for themselves an entirely different style of music which was--and still is--jazz at its best.

Kudos to the incredible Deborah Cox. This cd has found a permanent place in my ipod. (Favourite tracks include the title track, Destination Moon, and the hauntingly beautiful Smoke Gets In Your Eyes.)

It's appropriate that Destination Anywhere is an album by Bon Jovi the solo artist as opposed to Bon Jovi the band. For while it contains the requisite number of catchy tunes and the right amount of romantic drama, it varies from the band's output in two important ways. First, much of the material on Destination Anywhere is more low-key than the band's high-octane anthems, offering intimacy, if not exactly introspection, from Jon Bon Jovi himself. Too, there's an experimental edge to the music, with sound samples, programmed drums, and keyboard washes that are as distant from the group's albums as California is from New Jersey. Eurythmic Dave Stewart, ex-Hooters Rob Hyman and Eric Bazilian, and perennial hit maker Desmond Child kick in some help on "Queen of New Orleans," "Midnight in Chelsea," and "Ugly." The album-closing "August 7, 4:15," meanwhile, is a dramatic rocker about the murder of Bon Jovi's manager's child. Overall, Destination Anywhere is a solid effort, with Bon Jovi flexing some of the same muscles he's building with his budding acting career. --Daniel Durchholz

The Low Point, But Still Some Moments........2006-07-10

2 stars would probably be more accurate. But since a mediocre Bon Jovi record is better than none at all, I'll be generous. Like "Blaze of Glory," "Destination Anywhere" was made without his band. However, while "Blaze of Glory" would make it seem that Bon Jovi could hold his own and that the return of his group was optional, this solo record "Destination Anywhere" would make it appear that the reunion of his band was essential to his survival. Most of you know they did regroup afterwards to make "Crush." Well, onto the subject at hand. The first thing you will notice is that Bon Jovi does NOT really sound like himself on this record for the most part. Sadly, the change does not seem for the better as Bon Jovi slips into a grunge type tone. If you like old school Bon Jovi, chances are you will not like the first several songs on this record. In addition, Bon Jovi always seemed to be able to prevent his clicheish songs from sounding so. But that does not seem to be the case on this record. But even this mediocre Bon Jovi record does have a few moments. The record gets 1 star for the title track: "Destination Anywhere." On this track Bon Jovi starts to sound like his old self again, and rather than just sounding like a radio tune, this song does reflect effort. It sounds like a track that would have been on "Keep the Faith" or "These Days." This record gets a 2nd star for 'Little City.' While this song is different from anything Bon Jovi has done, this is a case where different seems to work. It's a low key song, but a good one. Finally, like on his "Crush," Bon Jovi saves the best for last. The 3rd star is for 'August 7, 4:15.' This track really saves the record. This song reflects the tragic death of the daughter of Bon Jovi's manager. This song is done tastefully and with dignity. In addition, on this track Bon Jovi really does sound like his old self again. The power of this track falls somewhere between that of "New Jersey" and "Slippery When Wet." To Bon Jovi's virtue, he does two good things with this song. (1) He gives his old school 80s fans one song. (2) While this song does have a tragic story behind it, we really do get the impression that Bon Jovi honestly feels for this girl and that he is NOT trying to just make another song. Being perfectly honest, this is quite arguably Bon Jovi's weakest record. But do be warned. If you skip it, you will miss out on one good song, one great song, and one phenomenal song.

Jon Bon Jovi...where were you?.......2006-05-13

This is a masterpiece! It has left me gobsmacked a lot of times. I received this CD in 1997 from a friend and I just hated this CD! I thought this was, well...darn awful of Bon Jovi to come up with wussy songs like these...So, I had put this album away until a few months later, out of sheer boredom, I played it again...This time, I kept reading the lyrics as the song was played out. I have never stopped listening to the songs since. I think it has something to do with the lucid and easy-to-remember lyrics, and ofcourse, you give Jon Bon Jovi a nursery rhyme and he will make a song out of it.

Its 2006, and I just bought my second copy. I had lost my earlier copy in 1999.

That has to say a lot for the genius that this guy is...

ABSOLUTLY AWFUL !.......2006-04-13

Is this for real? It sounds like John Tesh or Harry Connick Jr.
I just got this CD and it put me to sleep. It should be called Destination down the tube.I'm a diehard Bon Jovi fan from New Jersey and I cannot believe he released this tragedy.I love all the CD's from Bon Jovi but this solo by Jon sounds like elevator or nursing home music.And for Richie,Bryan and Tico, please don't let Jon out of your sight again.

A Neglected Gem.......2006-01-18

I bought this cd when it came out, and loved it right away. I still listen to it regularly, and continue to be amazed that none of the tracks were ever released as singles. "Midnight in Chelsea" and "Queen of New Orleans" are just two of the many great songs that are better than a lot of the junk that makes it onto the airwaves, so the lack of attention to the only solo release from such a major talent is inexplicable.

Plagiarizing the Foo Fighters..........2005-12-17

"Queen Of New Orleans" = "Hey, Johnny Park!"...listen to both songs (the latter one being from the Foo Fighters) and it's EXACTLY the same guitar riff...Bon Jovi released his album a month later than the Foos..."Midnight In Chelsea" is good though

Album Description

On February 2003, Virginia Beach, Virginia introduced the world to the charming quintet collectively known as Mae. Not only was their debut album, "Destination: Beautiful" an instant success with audiences, but their live show proved their talent moved even past just writing alluring hits.

Customer Reviews:

Great CD.......2007-03-21

I love Mae, so I appreciate anything they put out. However, I think I prefer "The Everglow" a bit more than this album. But with that said, "Embers and Envelopes" makes me smile and sing along each time it pops up in my play list.

Every emo band is the flippin same........2006-12-12

So I WILL say that Mae is my favorite band and they're not the same. This has been in my top 10 most played list on my iPod for over 2 years now. They are far more musically tight than any other "emo" band I've heard. And I've heard a few. I would buy this CD twice, I loved it so much. I'm definitely not emo--even remotely, but Mae takes the cake. Combining matters of life with matters of love, their lyrics are simple, yet deep.

If this band makes you feel depressed, get a prescription for Prozac, buy some clothes with colours and get some exercise. Flip.

Destination: Beautiful... wow!.......2006-08-02

I came across Mae some months ago as I was searching for new bands to listen to here in Amazon, and I've read a lot of positive feedbacks regarding the band so I quickly wrote them under my list of bands I wanted to check out (and I also saw that their cd cover was really nice... I admit it was one of the reasons why I was drawn to this cd). Fortunately, my friend had a cd of their album, Destination: Beautiful and I got so excited that I listened to it right away.

After hearing some of the tracks, I quickly understood why this cd has collected a lot of high ratings from people. Mae's songs are lyrically (for me, there is a certain magic to their words) and musically (the notes and words fit just right, and the music captures the essence of the lyrics) beautiful. The vocals are also soothing as it will make you think and daydream of good things. The lyrics are catchy (although I don't really know their songs word per word) in the sense that you'd easily remember them because of their catchy tones. It won't be long until you find yourself alone singing to their tunes. It won't be long until you find yourself alone just wanting to hear their songs, or a part of their song. Their songs will really leave you wanting to hear them again and again.

Some songs that I really find nice in this album are All Deliberate Speed, Summertime, Giving it Away, and my favorite, Sun. I find all of their songs nice... some just stand out. If you're looking for cd's to check out, put Mae's Destination: Beautiful in your list now!

Breath of Fresh Air.......2006-06-11

Honestly, when I first picked up this cd I liked rwo songs on it: "Embers and Envelopes" and "All Deliberate Speed". The rest were just boring. But one day it just clicked. Now I think this cd is wonderful. The songs just have a clean and crisp sound that remind you of spring weather. The singer's voice is soft and easy to listen to. Nicely written lyrics, too. I recommend this!

Stand out tracks:
Embers and Envelopes
All Deliberate Speed
Last Call
Goodbye Goodnight

Another album-on-a-whim gone right........2006-05-24

The first time through I found "Destination: Beautiful" an unremarkable album with catchy pop hooks, but not much more; the second time through, it blew me away. While Mae will never be entered into the annals of innovative pop/rock, their first effort is innocent, earnest and optimistic. From the sincere and wistful "All Deliberate Speed" to the sugary but lovable "Soundtrack for Our Movie," Mae provides music that maintains interest and just generally feels good. Easily one of the albums that would make the soundtrack of my life.

Like that series, the album features a luscious non-stop mix of ethnic-flavored grooves, spiritual essence and intoxicating beats compiled and mixed by the Gordon brothers. HOTEL TARA ups the "dreamy" quotient, creating an atmosphere that is at once peaceful and soulful. The beats are low-tempo and many of the songs have a touch of Indian instrumentation as well as a subtle retro-lounge flair. Artists include David and Steve Gordon, Gingko Garden, Althea W., Jaya Lakshmi, Artemisia and others. This is a great album for anyone looking for music that is mellow and cerebral - it is perfect for chilling out to."

Smooth, sensous, soothing, and sultry. A couple of cuts a little on the "loungy" side but overall this is an excellent CD that delivers exactly what you would expect from the title. The quality of this stuff is definitely a cut above a lot of the other budda-lounge wannabes.

A maverick New Age/Eastern hybrid classic!.......2005-03-25

I am absolutely taken into the beauty and harmony that is the album "Hotel Tara". I first heard this at an independent CD store recently and after finding out who it was, I instantly bought the new album and I am proud of my choice of buying it. This album reminds me very strongly of the Earthtone collection series from years ago. After the apparent and unfortunate demise of the Earthtone label, Sequoia Records seems to have taken the torch and "Hotel Tara" is a powerful CD. "Apollo 13" is a highly eclectic track that incorporates voice effects of a NASA space mission with a gorgeous jazz/New Age groove. "Govinda Hari" is an electrifying song with haunting Eastern Indian voices and a very entrancing melody. This is such a wonderful CD and I highly recommend this.

Blissful Eastern Chill.......2005-03-10

Nothing less than superb ! This new titles from Sequoia Groove is a blissful voyage into the very best of Eastern influenced downtempo chill-out music. A provacative follow up to Sequoia's Buddha Lounge series. This album really transports the listener into some very exoctic and sensuous musical landscapes. I especially love the Jaya Lakshmi track "Govinda Hari" and "Apollo 13" by Joe Werineck which incorporates actual original recordings from the space mission into a lushly textured background of slow and sultry electonica. This is a great addition to any downtempo musical collection. If you like, Buddha Bar or Hotel De Costa you will love Hotel Tara.

The Ultimate Music for Sacred Lovers.......2005-02-10

David & Steve Gordon have done it again ! Just when you thought it could'nt get any better, these musical visionaries deepen the mix even further. Hotel Tara bills itself as "The Intimate Side of Buddha Lounge" and it certainly delivers on that promise. This is an exotic and enticing blend of traditional Eastern music with the very best that Western downtempo-electronica has to offer, featuring an superlative assortment of the very best Sequoia artists and some absolutely alluring new artists. Likely the most noteable being the lead track "L'Heure Verte/The Green Hour"from Artemisia, the new Steve Gordon solo project with it's distinctive tabla beat, exquisite tamboura, sensuous guitar and luminous vocals provided by Jaya Lakshmi whose "Govinda Hari" also graces the album. David Gordon's new solo track "Floating" is also fantastic, melding chill-out and smooth jazz effortlessly into this delightfully transcendent tune. My wife and I have now found our new favorite CD for our intimate encounters and Tantra sessions. These Sequoia Groove titles just keep getting better and better and this one is perfect suited for the the Sacred Lover. Keep them coming. Absolutely delightful.

Holy Mother Of Mae.......2006-03-16

i listen to alot of music from Panic!At The Disco To N'sync and the top band or group i listen to is by far mae.........this is one of their best cd's because you see the bands creativity come alive......personally my favorite track on the cd is "giving it away"....i think whoever you are you will enjoy this album.....check this album out i pormise that the results in buying and or checking it out are rewarding!

Great songs, short cd........2005-12-05

I was very pleased and very devastaded with this album at the same time for two very simple reasons: #1 they released this album too early for a b-sides album so it turned out short and #2 they put suspension (which was to be on "the everglow") on here. What they have on here is amazing but its whats lacking that i have a problem with.

Yet another awesome album by Mae!.......2005-10-15

This album has a lot of re-mixes and live songs off their debut album, Destination: Beautiful. This Time Is The Last Time (Wave Remix), Sun (Acoustic), Giving It Away (Acoustic), Goodbye, Goodnight (S.M. Remix), This Time Is The Last Time (Live) all originally where introduced in Destination: Beautiful. I really enjoy the acoustic version of Sun... its very awesome.

Their music has mature a lot since then, and musically it sounds a lot better and just runs smoother.

I loved Destination: Beautiful, but I have to say I like this album even better. A must have if you're looking for something to listen to that that is soft, yet not boring.

That being said, some of the beats are a bit repetitive, like in Destination: Beautiful.

Pure Art.......2005-09-24

this is definately very different from all of the other Mae cds. while i love everything by Mae, this is abslolutely AMAZING to say the least. my ultimate favorite song on the cd is "awakening". its really one of the most beautiful songs i have ever heard!! the song has alot to do with hope and strength and the listener can't help but get drawn into it all. thats goes for all of the songs on Destination: B-Sides...they touch you in a way that only beautifully composed music can. do yourself a favor and get this cd...its beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Outstanding music!!!.......2005-05-14

This is the first CD I've ever had by Mae, and I must say...I thought to myself..."where have they been all my life?" Melodically wise, they are amazing, the guitars in this band are phenominal. The singer has a really different, school boy cute voice...if that can explain it. My personal favorite song is "Tisbury Lane"...listen to that one, and if you love that song, you will love every other. I'm gonna go buy out all of the Mae CDs now...so I gotta run...

The debut release by this Canadian duo could easily have been billed as the latest from Ron Sexsmith, who writes all the material here and sings all the leads. Yet the harmonies of producer Don Kerr, a frequent Sexsmith sideman, are more than background vocals, as the two strive for a brotherly blend reminiscent of the Everlys and the Louvins. The arrangements are largely acoustic, the melodies often folkish, from the mandolin-driven "Listen" that opens the CD through the country strains of "Reacquainted." Poppier fare such as the dreamy "Chasing Forever" and "Counting on Time" pay homage to the brothers Davies of the Kinks, whose reveries of sunny days and village greens find kindred spirits here. Few can match Sexsmith for melancholy, and the lovesick "Only Me" reflects his bittersweet best. --Don McLeese

Album Description

Destination Unknown is a seriously stunning release, offering a welcome 21st century answer to the Everly Brothers. Together, with Ron's band, the two have toured the world, sharing the stage with the likes of Coldplay and Elvis Costello, who along with Paul McCartney and many others, count themselves among Ron's fans. Sexsmith & Kerr's camaraderie is showcased with the lilting, gorgeous harmonies of Destination Unknown. Ronboys. 2005.

A modern day Everly Brothers kind of tone to the CD.......2007-01-24

Most songs are beautifully orchestrated, as Sexsmith is known to do.

Wonderful! Ron Sexsmith fans rejoice!.......2006-12-09

Ron Sexsmith has been a brilliant, stellar exception to the dull and shopworn landscape of popular musical artists for a long time now, and continues his streak of gorgeous, masterful music on this disc. Not only is Ron in his best form, perhaps better than ever before, he also has teamed up with an artist, Don Kerr, who's so compatible they may as well be twins separated at birth.

Ron's heavenly voice is there, as are the soaring, tuneful and memorable melodies, and lush, rich guitar work, all to complement lyrics that are at once sweet, gentle, insightful, and bitterseet. The music flows like a river of diamonds from start to finish. Not one track or moment is less than lovely.

If you have been liking Ron Sexsmith, rush to get this outstanding work of art. If you have never really tried his music, this is a great place to start, with Don Kerr's voice complementing Ron's so beautifully. And if you fall in love with this disc, which you likely will, get the rest of his music. It's all of piece, all beautiful.

Regards,

Tom B

A beautiful album from one of the world's best songwriters.......2006-08-27

It's incredible how astonishingly consistent and prolific Ron Sexsmith has been over the past decade. I keep worrying that the pace at which he puts out albums is going to dilute their quality, but it certainly hasn't happened yet. Everything he's put out since "Ron Sexsmith" is worth owning, and each contains at least a handful of masterpieces. How an artist this accessible and talented hasn't found more than a cult audience is beyond me. Anyway, Destination Unknown is one of his loveliest albums. Even the songs that don't rank with his best have inched their way into my consciousness, and the great ones -- to my ears, One Less Shadow, Raindrops in My Coffee, Diana Sweets, and Tree-Lined Street -- are genuinely timeless. Maybe a few others could belong in that list, depending on my mood. The few that don't do as much for me are still melodically inventive and worth listening to, but the lyrics tend a little bit towards sentimentality and self-pity; I'm sure, however, that other people feel differently.

I tried to get one of my hipster friends into Sexsmith, but something seemed to put him off. I think he heard the surface prettiness and assumed that Sexsmith was somehow a safe bland coffeehouse kind of talent, who couldn't possibly have anything exciting to offer. But daring goes beyond throwing in distortion and computerized skronks, or spouting lyrics that express shopworn alienation; it also means looking deeply into yourself and caring enough about your craft to keep working until you cast that state of mind into something permanent and honest. A bubbly tune like Diana Sweets, for example, is actually a hard look at the simultaneous pointlessness and irresistibility of nostalgia. It takes a great deal of courage to look inside yourself and pull that out. Perhaps Sexsmith will never have a large audience -- although I certainly hope he does, because he deserves it -- but anyone that really listens to these songs closely will carry them around for a lifetime. Buy it, you lucky few, and enjoy.

A Lovely New Set from Mr. Sexsmith.......2005-10-15

I've been enamored with Sexsmith's work ever since the classic "Blue Boy" and bought every one of his albums, over time, from the moment I heard that album.
This is not to say that every one of his recordings has been as packed with exquisite melodies and thoughtful lyrics as the above-mentioned treasure, in Sexsmith's albums there have always been beauties to relish but not quite another album which held my admiration from beginning to end.
That said, this collaboration with Don Kerr -Ron's longtime companion on the road and in studios- may be the one that reaches such heights.
Although the instrumentation here is far more spare than in "Blue Boy," consisting primarily of guitars, an occasional cello and some drums, the quality of the writing is impeccable and the mood the two voices conjure up will remind you of his signature romantic touch.
The songs, by and large, are tunes originally written for "Retriever," this album's predecessor, and the idea of recording them as a duo grew out of playing and harmonizing them while traveling from concert to concert. As far as the general feel given to them, it is mainly the result of Sexsmith's admiration for the Louvin Brothers and the Everly Brothers, which will bring memories from both famous groups without ever making you suspicious of plagiarism. Sexsmith is a remarkable composer and singer in his own right, and Kerr provides the perfect vocal counterpoint.
It is hard to single out songs because the compositions are consistently good and the performance throughout is quite faithful to the influences I alluded to before. Still, "Tree-Lined Street," "Counting On Me," "Only Me," "Raindrops In My Coffee" or "Chasing Forever" are sufficient proof of this album deserving a place in your collection.
So, if you already like Sexsmith and you could use some beautiful music early in the morning, before the world revs up to break-neck speeds, this may be just what you've been waiting for.
Lovely music, where "lovely" means beautiful, tender and unconcerned with what people might think of the plain joy of singing pretty songs.

Great Songsmith.......2005-10-11

This is the first CD from Ron Sexsmith I have bought, and it will certainly not be the last one. Accompanied by two guitars and some occasionally drums, the result depends heavily on the voices and the songs. And I must say they are both beautiful. I hear influences, like Paul McCartney, Everly brothers, Louvin brothers and even an early Nils Lofgren. But the songs stand on their own, and it is typically a CD you play when you want to hear something beautiful and timeless. Highlights for me are 'Counting on time' and the absolute killer....'Only me'.

Chicago's Smoking Popes deliver another stellar batch of buzzsaw punk-pop anthems about love and love lost on their second major-label album. Josh Caterer's emotional crooning still sounds a lot like Morrissey's, but mopey teenagers would be much better off listening to the Popes than Moz, because the joy inherent in their tunes always points the way out for the worst case of the blues. (Just pogo a bit, and everything is sure to feel better.) "Let's hear it for promises and something sealed with a kiss/Let's hear it for big mistakes that you just couldn't resist," Josh sings in "Let's Hear It for Love," which is pretty much the band's theme song. But the group really won my heart with the cover of "Pure Imagination" from Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. How can you help but love these guys? --Jim Derogatis

Customer Reviews:

Finally a pop-punk band that doesn't sound like pop-punk........2002-01-15

While other pop-punk bands (i.e. Blink 182, Sum 41, and countless others whose names I forget, but likely end with numbers) seem to get stuck in a rut trying hard to sound like a pop punk band, the Popes simply take the aesthetic of pop-punk and play what they want to play. The chord progressions contain more than 4 chords a song, the instrumentation isn't always bashing you in the face, and the singer doesn't sound like some whiney Joey Ramone or Johnny Rotten sound-alike. Most of all, their songs are interesting and fun, but not just for the sake of being interesting and fun. They're just good songs. (Not to mention "Pure Imagination" is possibly the best cover I've ever heard)

Let's hear it for the Smoking Popes.

One of the best albums of the 90's.......2001-07-03

The Smoking Popes blend heatfelt lyrics and melodies of love, love, oh yeah and more love into 3 minute pop songs that will make you want to cry. Destination Failure is an incredible cd and is one of the best cds of the 90's yet it still is not one of the Popes finest. This cd is highly recommend to any music fan and if you like this cd be sure to check out "Get Fired" and "Born To Quit." Please do your self a favor and listen to the Smoking Popes.

A band I looked for for years (literally).......2001-06-05

The Smoking Popes are a band I literally hunted down for about three years. I had heard their song "Need You Around" from the album "Born to Quit" and fell in love, but always caught the first half, or second half, and never heard the DJ announce the bands name before the song lost its pace. Due to a great deal of time I spent listening to music in used CD stores, I eventually heard the song again and almost died--the rest of the album matched it perfectly. Destination Failure is their third release and almost but not quite tops "Born to Quit" in my mind. A little more commercial and marketed better, the album was a bigger success and got more exposure as they toured. Still, I give it five stars. Who could resist Caterer's classic lounge singer style with guitars backing him that make you want to rock? The band picks from Weezer somewhat, with ultra-slow lyrics and hyperactive guitar lines with plenty of bass. If you haven't listened to Smoking Popes before, prepare yourself, because you may not know whether you're supposed to feel aggresive, or depressed, or giddy, but you'll be sure to appreciate their unique style and a mood all their own.

Yes, enjoy your pants.......2001-01-13

A great CD from a band that I beleive doesn't get enough credit. Great lyrics, and some pretty good licks that remind you of their not so poppy past. This album would get five stars if 1991-1998 and the Live album didn't exist. This is a good primer course in the Popes, you might say, even though it came at the end of their career.

"Destination" Aced!.......2001-01-11

There are few albums I can just pop into my cd player and listen to straight through, let alone be patient enough to listen to them for that long. "Destination Failure" is one of them. Having only two Smoking Popes cds, this is my favorite among the two. It blends good light-hearted rock, catchy lyrics, and awesome vocals together to come up with a treat that would taste like a dark chocolate Ghirardelli bar times ten (coming from a chocolate lover, that is VERY good). The best song on the album, "No More Smiles," is a remorseful tune about the heartbreak of love. It passes the test of being a true-to-life song. "I Know That You Love Me," which is equally good and catchy, is actually, as I once heard Josh mention in an interview, a song about faith and having a relationship with God. The greatest thing about this song is you could interperet it that way--or you could just pass it off as another love song, which still makes it equally fun. "Let's Hear It For Love" and "Pure Imagination" (a great rendition of the "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory" song) are above par, as is "Megan" and "Capital Cristine". It's a shame that this wonderous band had to break up. They will definitely be missed in Chicago by their adoring fans, and in other parts of the US (maybe even the world. Smoke on, Popes!

Messsssssstttt.......2005-02-19

I loved this Cd soooo much. I bought it, and the next week, i took it to my friends house, and played it, a while later, i took it out of her stereo, and placed it upsidedown on her desk. BIG mistake!!! we then proceeded to light candles a such, when she knew she wasn't allowed to, then we had to smother the flmae, and the smoke went everywhere. then she sprayed perfume around the room, and it landed on my wonderful Destination unknown CD! I WAS SO MAD! She runined it, and I now have to go buy another one! But yes..as I was saying, awesome CD. Probably my favourite out of all of their Cd's, and i think they'll keep getting better!

Pop Punk at its Best.......2004-11-11

Mest is definatley one of my favourite bands and all of thier albums are great. They are at the top of the list as far as the pop punk genre goes. The music is fast paced and extremely catchy. If you like Yellowcard, The Starting Line, Green Day, Good Charlotte, Blink 182 and New Found Glory then I recommend Mest.

Destination Unknown is a truly amazing cd and deserves to be played loud and often. It is full of up beat catchy songs. The tunes all have the capability of getting stuck in your head. Sure, a lot of the songs are about girls and brokendown relationships, but what do you expect listening to a group of young guys singing about what's going on in their lives.

Some of my favourite songs on the album are:
Opinions
Cadillac
It's Over
Reason
Mother's Prayer

If you liked Mest's first album then you will definately enjoy this one also. All 14 songs are great, no filler included. I highly recommend Destination Unknown and if you like this one you will be sure to enjoy their other two albums also!

they rock.......2004-08-22

Mest is an awesome band. I think they live up to what real punk is. Go buy their albums its way worth the money!

FME.......2004-05-10

Thrice is amazing and If you liked showoff check out chris from showoffs new band Farewell My Enemy at www.farewellmyenemy.com they are really f'n awesome.
