On the Other Side is an album of happy songs--"Get Happy," "Make Someone Happy," "Happy Talk," etc.--but isn't always so chipper in contemplating life and love. Indeed, it's difficult to imagine Tierney Sutton, one of whose calling cards as a jazz singer is her intensity, letting herself go--consider her inclusion of "Haunted Heart" at the middle of the album as a reflection of that. But in the cozy embrace of her working band, including the fine pianist Christian Jacob and two bassists, Sutton excels at exploring different shades of feeling, boosted by a guest turn by the ebullient veteran trumpeter and singer Jack Sheldon. Her somber dark tones, which bring her contemporary Patricia Barber to mind, are offset by a llilting catch in her voice that may remind you of Diana Ross. Ultimately, you wish her delivery was less cooly detached, but she has a winning ability to make the familiar new, as heard on two creative pairings of "Get Happy" and "Happy Days Are Here Again." --Lloyd Sachs

"On the Other Side".......2007-07-12

After reading her views on "happy", and her perspective on reaching for "happiness", etc., on the CD's notes, I had a better feel for the meaning and delivery of her great message............ that came through all the more clearly, because of her great voice.

songs to put you in a mood.......2007-07-07

Ms. Sutton's style and choice of songs puts me in the mood to be part of that joyous and sophisticated semi-mythical group "New York Cafe Society."

Just great.......2007-06-08

Just great - This is the minimum I can say about this CD.

Tierney is better cd after cd

Nice addition to the Sutton archive.......2007-05-24

Tierney Sutton distinguishes herself as a unique presence among the welter of contemporary female jazz vocalists. She has it all: flawless intonation, soulful delivery, and an extraordinary sense of how to spring a rhythm. Combine those attributes with her penchant for the eclectic songbook, and Sutton dwells in ethereal company with the likes of Cassandra Wilson.

Sutton's new CD, The Other Side, makes a strong thematic statement. It consists mostly of traditionally upbeat songs such as "Get Happy," "Happy Days are Here Again," and "Make Someone Happy" and gives them a pensive, ballad-like treatment. Given Sutton's energy and her band's restless probing, none of the tunes comes off as lugubrious, but a sequential listening of the entire CD is likely to jade the senses of even the most devoted Sutton fan.

The best approach is to ignore the programmatic intent and focus on the truly remarkable numbers: "Haunted Heart" derails expectations in offering the most conventional of vocal lines over an atypical and initially incongruous accompaniment. But the tension between the vocal and the rhythm lines finds resolution at various points along the way. This radical treatment of such a well-entrenched classic is risky, but finally compelling. Another standout, "Get Happy (Version 2)," features stunning work from pianist Jacob Christian and drummer Ray Brinker. In "Happy Talk," Sutton improvises some of her best scat to date.

In a November concert, Sutton told her audience, "Basically, we take a song and work it until it's unrecognizable." Usually, that experimental impulse makes the break toward freer interpretations. Not this time. Most of these pieces are restrained and subdued. Their tone is the antithesis of their message. But the formula works for most of the numbers, and the CD marks another significant milestone in Sutton's evolution as a unique voice.

The Greatest Female Singer of Our Generation..........2007-04-15

...And the most interesting trio working today-- that's the full package presented by The Tierney Sutton Band. Ms. Sutton's voice is the fourth instrument in what is in reality a quartet. In partnership with the incredible Christian Jacobs, Ray Brinker and Trey Henry and Kevin sharing bass, Tierney has produced a collection of songs of singular quality that demand your full attention. The addition of Jack Sheldon only adds to the importance of the CD. This band has deep roots with Jack Sheldon, and Sheldon is a major jazz figure who is consistantly overlooked for reasons that befuddle the muscians who have played with him or heard him play. He's a jazz master as well as showman, and I adore Tierney for including him on this master work. Play it loud, play it often. Buy as many copies as you can afford. We need to encourage the recording industry to make more Tierney Sutton Band recordings.

On its seventh album--and first without founding member Brian "Head" Welch--Korn makes a few changes and gets on with proving that it's still a viable force within the world of heavy rock. The venerable veterans lean on outside help from the songwriting team of the Matrix and producer Atticus Ross (Nine Inch Nails). The end result is that this is a big change for Korn and one that will garner large shares of message board controversy on wether this album is more industrial than nü. The band is at its deftest on "Getting Off," "Politics" and "Coming Undone," which highlight the industrial bend. Stalwart fans need not worry for "Liar" and "For No One" remain in lock-step with classic Korn. One need not listen to the full hour-plus to discover flaws. Its center becomes weighed down with bland mid-tempo numbers and the final song detracts from the powerhouse close the record might have had they ended with "Interlude #3/I've Seen It All." Still, Korn has demonstrated that it's capable of weathering the storm and emerging with an album that will carry them onward. -- Jedd Beaudoin

Album Description

With such daring new songs as "Twisted Transistor," "Politics," and "Love Song" among others, it's clear that KoRn--Jonathan Davis, James "Munky" Shaffer, Fieldy and David Silveria--have opened the doors to even more creativity and disarray. And no one does "disarray" like KoRn. The result is the most revolutionary KoRn album since their debut, a barb-wired, bastard son of blinding musical fury, dark and twisted lyrical candor, and searing, sociopathic tendencies. It's the culmination of everything KoRn have come to represent musically, morphed with an industrial-strength alter ego that's been suppressed--until now. "See You On The Other Side" is more than the evolution of KoRn--it's an evolution of heavy.

Customer Reviews:

excellent album.......2007-06-04

Despite missing a guitarist this album is suprisingly good. Each song is good. Now that the drummer is also on hiatus it might be time for Korn to pull the plug instead of milking the cow until theres nothing left.

The weak link in the Korn music catalog........2007-05-31

"Twisted Transistor" is kind of a cool song, and there are a handful of other songs on here that are pretty good, like "Coming Undone", "Politics", and "Souvenier", but I don't know if I like this stripped down, industrial sound that they have tried on. It has some moments, but overall, I was unimpressed with it. Stick to earlier Korn if you are just discovering them, and if you buy it, plan on being surprised by the new musical direction.

Korn's changing, but they still good.......2007-03-23

I thought the album was alright. I kind of preffer their other styles, but this album was alright. It's just that usually bands change and start to burn out a tad, and it's not always easy to keep up with facinating ideas, so I still give them credit.It seems that every album they have realeased has been good. Not all bands are like that, usually they'll run out ideas and change terribly, not Korn! SEE YOU ON THE OTHER SIDE doesn't suck, it's just simply not there best album that's all. I liked twisted transister, hypocrits, souvenere, coming undone, and liar.

Korn is still creative.......2007-03-01

I think that the artistic prowess of some bands tends to be affected by changes, and Korn has gone through some. Korn still provides a reliable source of good heavy music while not compromising the underlying dynamics of the "sound" of the namesake. I like the way Johnathan still relates to the raw animal relationships of men and women. His feeling and description still pour through the sound and lyrics of some of the best songs on the album. Having been a long time Korn listener, and my appreciation of how artists evolve and change, I am not disappointed in the least. This is the first Korn album I have bought in 8 years, and I think it offers a helluva lot more than any Marilyn Manson album ever has, and comparatively speaking the last couple of Tool albums as well. At least Johnathan hasn't gone drag.

Only in America could an album like this have come together: Eva Cassidy, a young vocalist who, had she lived, might have gone on to become her generation's favorite song interpreter, trading verses with Chuck Brown, seasoned godfather of the D.C. underground funk movement known as go-go. By the time this was recorded in 1992, the go-go trend had long since peaked for Brown, while the twentysomething Cassidy was still an unknown local session vocalist. Yet, on this set of standards, the two collaborate as if they were picking up where they'd left off decades earlier, from easy-riding versions of "Let the Good Times Roll" and "Gee Baby, Ain't I Good to You" to near-definitive renditions of "Over the Rainbow" and "Dark End of the Street." And while it's easy to focus on the posthumously acclaimed Cassidy, Brown's haunting solo turn on "You Don't Know What Love Is" suggests that unjustly overlooked talents are still making music in the shadows of our nation's capital. --Bill Forman

Customer Reviews:

Is It Just Me?.......2007-06-12

Probably. I'm assuming no one could be so apparently tacky that there must be a meaning to this album's title beyond the obvious. If so, it's over my humble head.

As to the music itself... The Eva Cassidy movement is so fervent it's tough to criticize anything she's ever done, but this is a very mixed collection of cuts that doesn't really even belong inside one jewel box. Three or four absolute pearls in a slurry of tired standards performed so perfunctorily they sound like they were taped on the Catskills circuit in the 1950s. Nothing wrong with Eva's voice, or Chuck Brown's for that matter, but you can smell the mothballs on much of the song selection and non-arrangements.

2 1/2 stars for the pearls.

Gives you chills ~! .......2007-04-26

Eva's voice is so pure and pristine . It will give you chills and goosebumps every time you hear it .
She truly was the greatest female singer ever - her passion and pathos is unparalled . Her rendition of " God Bless the Child" is the best ever ! It will bring tears to your eyes .

This pairing is incredible - I have always been a sucker for a good duet and these two are superb and the musicians are first rate also . I guarantee you will love this gem of a CD !

Magic.......2006-08-27

Only some eighteen months ago did I hear about Eva from a young lady serving in a record store but already she is my favourite female artist. Her range is fantastic and to borrow the words from another reviewer (as I am not good at this) she has a "mix of aching clarity and rich warmth". In this particular album which is one of my very favourites she and Chuck Brown collaborate in an amazing way. They are just so amazingly excellent together and I thoroughly recommend all of the songs. Eva pounds it out but there are moments when her sensitivity and warmth also shine through. Chuck has a deep rich voice and I hope he does more of this type of work.

Outstanding Recording - Flawless Performance.......2006-05-03

This is one of the best CD's in my collection. It's great pleasure to listen to world class musicians who can do it all and hats off to the audio engineers to capture this timeless material. Chuck Brown is one of the best blues singers I have heard and Eva Cassidy - a huge talent. If you are considering this CD, you have come to the right place. You will be very happy about your purchase.

Eva? Simply the Best.......2004-06-23

Eva Cassidy? I have all her albums. This was the first one- and my favorite. There aren't enough superlatives in the language to describe the talent this woman had. I am seventy-two years old, and I have listened to all the great ladies of jazz for sixty of those years. Although there are some good young jazz voices around these days, Eva had no peers. She was a great artist who belongs at the top with Ella, Sarah, and Billie. I lament her passing, and treasure the recordings she left us. The duets with Chuck Brown are outstanding.

Following up on the release of his debut CD, The Voice, Russell Watson is back with Encore, another mix of opera favorites and popular songs. By now Watson has become virtually a household name--he sells out large concert venues and remains on the top-seller charts. On Encore, we find Puccini and Verdi sharing the billing with Lulu and Lionel Ritchie on the CD's 16 tracks, which range from the much-loved Bach-Gounod "Ave Maria" to "Where My Heart Will Take Me," the theme for Enterprise (the latest Star Trek TV series). Indeed, a more fitting title might have been The Voices, since Watson explores opera, sacred works, film, television themes, and pop songs. The orchestral arrangements on tracks such as "Va, Pensiero" may not win him any fans from the opera contingency, but Watson reveals a captivating sound on pop ballads, including "You Are So Beautiful" and "Somewhere." If you enjoyed The Voice, you're certain to want an encore. --Rebecca Agnew

The book is wonderful. I love playing their music, its so great. Worth the money, no doubt.

Amazing..........2006-05-05

Russell Watson is amazing. It is truly a delight to hear him sing both the pop and the arias, for he performs both equally well. His rendition of Volare is very fun, and when he sings Somewhere, it's simply breathtaking. His duet with Lionel Richie was also splendid. They really did sound fantastic together. The two low points for me were The Prayer, because I couldn't stand Russell's duet partner, Lulu, and Don't Know How I Got By, because the song just didn't seem to suit Russell's voice. However, the other tracks more than make up for those few inferior selections. Russell Watson truly is a talented man, and I highly recommend this album.

Godsmack CD "The Other Side".......2007-02-24

I first listened to this CD in a local sport's bar. The bartender discovered that I had just retired from the military and he wanted me to listen to the CD his son had sent him. His son is serving over in Iraq.
I normally listen to XM radio, the Spanish stations or Frank's Place. Godsmack is not the music I would normally purchase. However, the group has a very deep appealing sound. I actually bought the CD for a friend of mine who is deployed over in the Persian Gulf - I thought if his son who is in Iraq likes it, then perhaps the fighting men and women over there would also relate and enjoy this CD.

A so so collection.......2007-01-10

I was a bit dissapointed with this CD. Not much more to say.

Very Nice.......2007-01-07

This CD has a very nice sound...I was shocked when I first heard it, because I was used to Godsmack's edgier sound on the other albums. This album has acoustic versions of some of their best songs. The sound is AMAZING, though. If you love Godsmack, definitely check this out, I think you'll be pleasantly suprised. The quality of the recording is excellent - the acoustic guitar is perfectly balanced with the vocals. I love it.

My only advice: Don't buy it on Amazon. Because there are only seven tracks, paying the Amazon price seems like a waste of money. You can get it on iTunes for $6.99.

Best EP I own.......2006-08-03

This album is a really pleasant EP. And unlike others you won't regret buying this one. The acoustic guitars suite Erna Sully's voice. The rhythm and the speed are maintained perfectly. Touche and Voices are my favourite. Go on buy it if you have not yet got it

Excellent!!.......2006-07-05

I have just recently "discovered" Godsmack but am rapidly becoming a big fan. This album was a pleasant surprise, I absolutely love it!

Customer Reviews:

Conviction.......2007-05-09

Sara Groves writes all her music with such conviction, it's hard to say any of it ISN'T good. All of it is a peak into her heart and her relationship with Christ. Every song is a story straight out of the Bible...but she also shows that she understands the deeper meaning. She's one of the greatest composers, and writes with her heart and not about what is popular.

This Should Be A Textbook On What Christian Music Should Be........2007-03-14

This is the first Sara Groves project I listened to. I'm one who sometimes reads the reviews after listening to or reading or viewing the subject and compare notes, and I discovered that this may not be her best project. This project was enough to make me a Sara Groves fan, and put to shame over 90% of what is called Christian music today, and it isn't even her best project? Wow!

One thing I've been doing recently with various Christian projects is look at the lyrics. There are some that you know are talking to God because the 2nd person pronouns are capitalized, but "God", "Jesus", "Christ", "Lord", "Savior" and the like are rarely if ever used. On this project, Groves chose not to capitalize references to God, but it is more obvious who she is talking to than other modern recordings, and there is enough usage of the above words to move her lyrics from vague to clear.

Some songs nowadays are actually secular songs from a Christian perspective, looking at a life situation from the viewpoint of a person who just happens to be a Christian. Sara's personal songs come rather from realizing that the secular event is really as sacred as a "Christian" activity, and treats them as such.

One sign of an artist succeeding is, believe it or not, mixed reviews. If an artist is doing their job, they will not please everybody. They will surprise and maybe even disappoint some fringe fans who want the artist to re-do what they've always done. But while some may not like that work of art, others will appreciate the same work, whether they be new-comers to the artist, those who like the new direction better than the old, those who are eclectic in their tastes (that's me), fellow artists (I also resemble that remark) or those who are true fans of the heart in the artist as opposed to specific individual works.

I enjoyed several songs, such as "Jeremiah", "Compelled" and "Boxer". I also loved her arrangement of one of my favorite hymns, "Come Thou Fount". I know Christians who want artists to stick to the familiar (e.g. hymns, songs recorded by other artists that are over-played on the radio) instead of the lesser known or original compositions. As a result, some artists counsel others to mix songs by others or maybe a hymn to their original songs. This may be where Groves is coming from in including "Come Thou Fount". Or she may have just included one of her favorite hymns just because she loved that song. Either way, she makes the hymn her own.

Different but still good.......2007-01-15

As previous reviews have mentioned, The Other Side of Something is not the typical Sara Groves sound, but, because she is so talented, it's still good.

She changed things up on this cd, and I'm a bit torn. She's got a wonderful voice and her lyrics always connect with me, plus I love it when any artist attempts to do something different. This time, though, I am having difficulty getting into the music as I usually do. Don't get me wrong, it is still very good. And even though it is not quite in line with my tastes, I am encouraged that Sara did something outside her "normal" stuff, because that makes me anticipate her future releases all the more. And, as a previous reviewer said, it grows on you. The more I listen, the more the intelligence, talent and grace of the artist shine through.

Two songs worth mentioning specifically, one for good and one not so good, are "Come Thou Fount" and "Boxer." Sara puts her own personal twist on "Come Thou Fount," modernizing it, but maintaining its beauty as an all-time great hymn. "Boxer" on the other hand, I just have to fast forward past; maybe it's me, but it's just too repetitive and (I really hate to say it) annoying. The rest of the cd is all good, but nothing in particular stands out one way or another - just standard, solid Sara Groves music.

Mature Christian Music.......2006-03-03

I love this album because it reflects so much of my Christian walk. The doubts, the struggles with God, the joy and the sense of peace that all Christians face at some point or another. Sara is not afraid to write about real life and that is something I really applaud. There is really so much happy Christian music out there, that does not explore the darker issues of being a child of Christ - sure life is sweet in Christ but there are dark nights of the soul and I believe Christian music should reflect the whole spectrum. Jeremiah is a brilliant song in its simplicity and I love how the arrangement seems to build up in intensity as you listen to it, it's like a meditation on scripture. Sara manages to write melodies that aren't always conventional,like songs in a minor key for example, Jeremiah. The Other Side of Something is a beautiful upbeat song that lifts me up everytime I listen to it. I love this album a little more than Add To The Beauty. But both are excellent. Thank you Sara!

Gets Better Every Time Played.......2005-09-27

Worth buying. Every time I listen to this CD I like it even more. The songs "Esther" and "What I Thought I Wanted" have planted provoking thoughts my mind that I'm blessed to entertain long after the music has left my ears.

A beautiful voice - wasted.......2007-07-10

I was introduced to Mary Fahl via October Project. I had never heard anything like them before or since and Fahl's voice is nearly beyond compare with anyone else, though as an earlier reviewer said, Annie Lennox and Carly Simon come close. I just don't think they have Fahl's range.
So, you can imagine after October Project's demise, I was looking forward to hearing more of Fahl. After-all, a voice like that just can't be silenced.
Too bad it wasn't - at least for the garbage on this album. Redemption is probably the only song that shows what she can do with her voice. The rest is just a waste of her talents. God, I certainly hope she does not go down the same road that Karen Carpenter did and make everything she sings sound like a funneral dirge. She's trying very hard with the muck written for this album to do just that. The writing credits alone should have been enough to give it away right there. HOW many people does it take to write ONE song? Apparently as many as want to have a say in it for this disaster. Listen, if you start getting more than two people tossing in their two cents worth on any one song, you had better consider not writing it, much less trying to sing it. It is going to sound like a collage of miss-matched ideas and influences. Gee - just like most of the music (if you can call it that) on this album! I certainly hope that Mary Fahl will be able to find another record label willing to take her on when her current one dumps her for this waste of money and resources - with the priviso of course that all she does is sing the songs a talented songwriter creates for her.

only 3 good song.......2007-01-11

still, october proyect is the best and her voice is the best, but this cd is not the greates but think about if you like her and then buy it.

Beautiful and Perfect.......2007-01-09

The more I listen to this cd the more I am entranced with it. I have enjoyed Mary Fahl's voice since October Project. I am eagerly awaiting some more new material. She has a very powerful and touching voice. I gain something new each time I listen to her voice, music and lyrics. Thank you Mary!

Emotional Voice.......2006-06-09

Since when the founder October Project came to an end, Mary's voice was already one one of the highlights of the band. And this is proved here. A very good debut album!

Style departure.......2005-08-14

Like previous reviewers, I too was sceptical about this CD."The
Great Unknown" seems to be an October Project track right off, billowing, inspiring and lush, you would never know the difference. It is my favorite. The rest of the songs really take a departure in style from what I am used to hearing from Mary. Though enjoyable, she seems to be searching for an audience. I hope she continues to put out sounds which can inspire and provoke thought in their writing without getting too sentimental. Pretty girl, great voice, don't let them change your style.

Album Description

The fifth installment in the Other Side series features the critically acclaimed rapper/producer Madlib on the mix CD and Stones Throw's Peanut Butter Wolf `s visual guide to LA's sights, sites and sounds on DVD. Madlib's diverse audio tour includes tracks from the eclectic/outrageous jazz consciousness originator - Sun Ra Arkestra, 60's psychedelic blues quintet Outlaw Blues Band, legendary reggae drummer (Burning Spear) Leroy "Horsemouth" Wallace, Jamaican record label head/DJ Producer Prince Jazzbo, and Madlib's own tunes- as Beat Konducta (solo) & with collaborator Jaydee (Jaylib) and an exlusive track "Infinity". Hailing from the unlikely beach town of Oxnard, 40 miles north of Los Angeles, the multi-dimensional Madlib quickly rose to prominence as one of the most interesting figures in late-'90s hip-hop. His expansive style and deft touch for composition made him one of hip-hop's most sought-after producers. An enthusiastic crate digger, with a deep reverence for jazz and soul, Madlib branched out into a number of ambitious, engaging solo projects. After hooking up with Los Angeles DJ Peanut Butter Wolf, Madlib did a lot of production for Wolf's Stones Throw label. In 1999 the label released Quasimoto's astonishing The Unseen LP. Doubling as himself and his alter ego Quasimoto, Madlib handled vocals and production duties on the album, a huge critical success. With each year Madlib has continued to expand his abilities beyond the core hip hop that he is known for and The Other Side - Los Angeles proves the point again.

Good CD, BAD DVD - I paid to watch adverts?.......2007-06-10

The DVD included with this item is just boring blatant advertising. You just watch PBW walk in and out of each shop doing mundane things and asking pointless questions to the owners/staff; but not before he makes sure you know the name of the shop and its website and street address etc.

The CD on the other hand is quite good. There were no tracks which I disliked. A great assorment of tracks from Jazz, Regae, Hip-Hop, Funk and Blues, the last track escpecially by the Freestyle Fellowship is sweet as.

I would recommend buying the soundtrack, but steer clear of the DVD unless you want to watch 60 mins of advertisments.

Best Stevie Album Ever!.......2007-06-20

This is by far my favorite Stevie Nicks album. The songs Rooms on Fire, Cry Wolf and Juliet are phenomenal and can be listened to repeatedly.

A Firm Favourite..........2006-11-21

This album has received its fair share of negative feedback, from critics and certain fans alike, however, I have always had a personal soft-spot for this album.

"The Other Side of the Mirror" is very keyboard and synth based, due to the presence of Rupert Hine, the man responsible for Tina Turner's "Private Dancer", which alienated alot of fans. The production is very European, which probably explains why it was so succesful outside of the US, and received such a slacking within.

Stand-out tracks include the single "Rooms on Fire" and the luscious "Ooh My Love", "Long Way to Go" and the emotional "Ghosts", which is a track I have always felt Stevie wrote just for me. However, the best track on this album would have to be "Doing the Best that I Can (Escape from Berlin)", which is quite possibly the best song Stevie ever wrote lyrically. It is filled with pain and anguish, and is a real reflection of the personal turmoil most fans know Stevie went through in the late 80s to mid-90s period.

This would definately be the most underrated album of Stevie's career, and definately deserves to be given a chance.

Stevie Nicks - The Other Side of the Mirror (1989) .......2006-06-27

In the first half of the 1980's Stevie Nicks established herself as a rock and roll double threat. A powerful contributor to Fleetwood Mac's monstrous success, she also built an equally credible solo career on her own. However, after her third solo album (Rock a Little), she seemed to be in some kind of free fall due to drama in Fleetwood Mac and her own widely publicized drug problems. Whatever the issue, her output slowed and the quality of what was produced dropped radically. Her contributions to Fleetwood Mac's sleek 1987 album Tango in the Night, for example, were flat out embarrassments to both herself and her bandmates.

The Other Side of the Mirror feels like Nicks is struggling to regain her momentum. Unfortunately, Rupert Hines was not the best producer for her to work with at such a time. Many of the songs on Mirror are well-written, and she produced a solid hit with "Rooms on Fire." However, many of the tracks are self-indulgent, lyrically off the deep end, and over-produced musically. This creates an overall listless sound, which blunt her usual strengths as a writer and performer.

Examples are plentiful. "Two Kinds of Love" is a great duet with Bruce Hornsby, but it lacks the direct emotional connection of "Leather and Lace." "Whole Lotta Trouble" is a horn-blazing rocker that never manages to evoke the drama of "Edge of Seventeen." "Juliet" rocks and "Alice" menaces, but both are ultimately too unfocused to hold together for anyone other than a die-hard Stevie Nicks fan. Her lyrics on "Long Way to Go" are so oddly written that she sounds like she's imitating Jedi Master Yoda. The nadir is "Fire Burning," a mess of a song that takes three minutes to go nowhere.

Nicks may have been working through her demons at the time. Her next release, the aptly titled Timespace, would be a "best of" effort to create as a stopgap as she tried to regain her footing.

I rounded up! 3.5 is more like it..........2006-06-21

I love Stevie Nicks, I love her works. But the intensity of that love varies from song to song, album to album.

With "The Other Side of the Mirror" my love lessens a bit. On the whole, the album is just "O.K." and nothing more. Does it come close to previous works like "Bella Donna" or "The Wild Heart"? No, it doesn't. But it is a decent solo effort and honestly much better than most music put out in the last 12 years or so.

Stevie just isn't "Fresh" with this album. The music may be a tad different but overall it's the same mysterious woman, her love-affairs with various men, the darkness, the velvet. All of it's so familiar, but in this case, too much so.

This album isn't going to win over non-fans or ever be considered a masterpiece. But it's never going to be considered a "bad" effort by those in the know.

I reccomend this as a good addition to any Stevie Nicks fan's collection. Songs to watch for are; "Rooms On Fire", "Long Way To Go", "Two Kinds of Love", and "Fire Burning".

A Good Album....but Short of a Great One.......2006-03-03

Following Fleetwood Mac's successful comeback in 1987 with "Tango in the Night", the band had re-couped much of the momentum they had lost. As for Fleetwood Mac band member, Stevie Nicks - she had a lot of momentum in the 1980s. She had released three solo albums in the 1980s, the 1981 country music infused "Bella Donna", the successful 1983 follow-up "The Wild Heart", and the Rock infused "Rock a Little". Each of those albums had produced a Top Ten hit in the U.S. ("Stop Draggin My Heart Around", "Leather and Lace", "Stand Back", and "I Can't Wait"). In addition, Nicks garnered critical acclaim for being able to launch a solo career in her own right. Therefore expectations were set high when Nicks would release her fourth album, "The Other Side of the Mirror". While this album is pretty good, compared to the previous albums it isn't quite as strong as the work she had done throughout the 1980s.

Nicks' "The Other Side of the Mirror" takes on a distinctive synth-pop feel. For this album, Nicks would bring in producer Rupert Hine who had garnered a reputation for being successful with synth-pop artists (most notably, Tina Turner for her "Private Dancer" album). Nicks', "The Other Side of the Mirror" would still be a commercial success - and this comes on the heels of a decline of synth-pop which was occuring in the late 1980s. The late 1980s had seen the pop music landscape move more toward a natural guitar-laden sound. Hine deserves a lot of credit for making Nicks' synth-pop effort a commercial success.

Nicks has historically surrounded herself with good musicians for her solo albums. This album is no exception. Most notably on this album is Mike Campbell from Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. Campbell provides guitar work on four tracks and co-writes three of those songs with Nicks ("Ghosts", "Whole Lotta Trouble", and "Fire Burning"). When Campbell isn't doing guitar, Jamie West-Oram of The Fixx is. Nicks makes some very good use of background vocalists to help her. These background vocalists, Lori Perry-Nicks and Sharon Celani are on all 12 tracks (except for "Ooh My Love" which just has Perry-Nicks on background vocals). A trademark of Nicks is that she often features a male vocalist. For this role, an unlikely vocalist - Bruce Hornsby is brought in for 2 tracks.. Finally Kenny G makes a guest appearance.

Here is a quick synopsis of the 12 tracks on this collection:

"Rooms on Fire": This was the lone Top 10 hit from this album. The song has a strong synth-pop feel and it will be the keyboards will take over this track. This song manages to showcase Nicks' vocals talents at her best. Nicks-Perry and Celani do a terrific job with supplementing Nicks with great background vocals.

"Long Way to Go": This song combines some harder Rock elements with Synth Pop. There is a nice guitar solo by West-Oram. halfway through the song. This is another good song where Nicks-Perry and Celani do a real nice job supplementing some great Stevie Nicks vocals.

"Two Kinds of Love": I'm shocked that this song did not become a hit. Bruce Hornsby shares lead vocals with Nicks on this song. Surprisingly, Hornsby was brought in for his vocals and not his trademark piano work. Hornsby's unique and smooth vocals blend perfectly with Nicks' raspy vocals. While I'm not a Kenny G fan, his saxophone solo works perfectly in this song and can easily be picked up.

"Ooh My Love": Nicks does another nice job on the vocals. It is going to be Rupert Hine's keyboard that can easily be picked out.

"Ghosts": This is one of the Mike Campbell tracks that he co-wrote with Nicks. The song sounds out with a haunting sound and then transitions into something that has a bit of a Tom Petty feel.

"Whole Lotta Trouble": Another Campbell co-written track. This song has a blues element to it. It also has a Tom Petty feel to it. While this song had its moments, I felt the chorus was weak.

"Fire Burning": This is the third Campbell co-written track. This has more of a Synth Pop feel than the other Campbell tracks. Not a bad track. Nicks does a nice job on vocals, and gets help from Nicks-Perry and Celani.

"Cry Wolf": On Laura Branigan's "Touch" album, she sang this as a power ballad. Nicks is not a power ballad singer, but gives a nice spin to this song. She doesn't try to do a power vocal here and instead uses her own unique raspy vocals to give this song her own touch. This is one of two songs not written by Nicks.

"Alice": Many have said that this was the cornerstone song to the album. This song makes an analogy to the whole "Alice in Wonderland" theme. Kenny G has a saxophone solo. Many people really like this song, but it just didn't make it for me. It's ok, but I wouldn't say it's great.

"Juliet": Hornsby is back and this time contributes piano work as well as some background vocals. Hornsby's piano gives this song a catchy beat. In another storytelling analogy, she draws an analogy to "Juliet" from "Romeo and Juliet".

"Doing the Best That I Can": A good song captures my imagination and this song just doesn't do that.

"I Still Miss Someone (Blue Eyes)": This is the other song that Nicks did not write. This song is a throw back to the Country-infused days of "Bella Donna" days as Nicks does a good job with this Johnny Cash cover. Nicks-Perry and Celani do a nice job with background vocals.

The liner notes include all of the lyrics as well as musician and production credits. There are some terrific acknowledgements to the contributors by Nicks. Overall, this album should keep Nicks' core fans happy. I'd rate this album a good one, but I do feel it falls short of being a great one.

Customer Reviews:

Instruments of the Orchestra - Great Reference Material!.......2007-04-04

This set lends itself to greatly enhancing one's knowledge of the orchestra, instruments in it, and their usage. I am a huge music buff, and I still picked up a great deal I previously did not know. I highly recommend this for all who wish to understand the origin of music, as well as the processes that are employed to create music!

Beginner or Expert.......2007-03-12

This CD is excellent for the beginner or expert! To be able to haear the instrumets separately and then together really provides a good education. and/or refresher. The book thaty comes with the CD is alomost worth the price by itself!

Very Informative and Enjoyable.......2006-11-20

Whether you're a music novice or pro, "The instruments of the Orchestra" is a very worthwhile purchase. The 7 CDs, with a total of 8 hours, are expertly narrated by Jeremy Siepmann. He's a great speaker, very much like the late Leonard Bernstein was. Mr. Siepmann takes you on an unforgetable musical journey covering the origins and use of the various orchestral instruments throughout musical history. The balance between his narration and a wealth of musical examples, which range from snippets to entire movements, is superb. The comprehensive enclosed booklet is excellent and faithfully follows the 7 CDs in content. Even with my 40+ years of music training I still learned new things from this wonderful collection. Considering the excellence of the content, and a cost that translates to about $5 per disc, this collection is a great value. Grab it, you won't regret that you did. Five solid stars!

Frank's view.......2006-08-19

This boxed set of CD's with booklet achieved all I had hoped that it would. There are good samples of individual instruments and well done commentary on each. The only drawback was that some of the samples were too brief and could have been longer, hoiwever I guess this fits in with time constraints of the medium. It has given me a lot of clues as to future purchases of CD's for listening to individual instruments. Altogeth a satisfactory purchase and a welcome addition to my collection.

Excellent Intro for Those Not Familiar with the Orchestra.......2003-11-08

I've listened to classical music for years and am interested in composition. I bought this CD set to learn how an orchestra and its instruments work. I thought the CDs would be a nice but boring lecture. They aren't! Not only are they FUN but they are informative as well. I learned a huge amount from each CD and couldn't wait to listen to the next one.

The narrator and writer is a great speaker and holds your attention well. He is definitely knowledgeable. He provides musical examples for each point he makes, so you get to "hear" what he just talked about. I'd say the CDs are about 65% music and 35% narration. You'll learn about the range of instruments, some history, different ways to play them, how they sound, and how they are used in the orchestra. This CD set was a great learning experience and is sold at such a low price!

I recommend this CD for those who want to learn about classical music and those who know about it but are interested in learning more about the inner workings of an orchestra. You'll learn much useful information. For instance, the Rite of Spring (with that eerie start) is written for bassoon! I never knew a bassoon could sound like that but now I do.

The one complaint I have is the last CD. This deals with the orchestra. I wanted more of a tour of how the orchestra has been used through history up to the present. Instead, it was a tour of how different groups of instruments sound. I thought it could have been better. The other 6 CDs are excellent.
