Fantastic, but far from perfect..........2007-06-14
Blondie is my favorite band and I have all of their albums, so I was curious to compare this collection with their first hits collection, The Best of Blondie (1982), and their other Greatest Hits album from 2002.
Sound & Vision is much better than The Best of Blondie, with vastly improved sound quality and a bigger selection of songs. The only songs that The Best of Blondie contains that this collection does not are "(I'm Always Touched By Your) Presence, Dear" and the original version of "In the Flesh"--the version of the latter on Sound & Vision is an awful remix with brand new vocals by Debbie Harry, and it sounds NOTHING like the original. Sound & Vision is certainly preferable to The Best of Blondie, though, no matter how you look at it.
However, when compared to the 2002 Greatest Hits CD, Sound & Vision doesn't fair quite as well, not taking into account the bonus DVD with music videos. Greatest Hits has nearly every song from this collection--it does NOT include "Good Boys" or "End To End" from The Curse of Blondie, released in 2004, nor the "Rapture Riders" mash-up, but makes up for it with the inclusion of "(I'm Always Touched By Your) Presence, Dear" and "X Offender", two of Blondie's best songs. It also includes the original version of "In the Flesh" in lieu of the pointless remix. Those factors alone, along with the fact that Greatest Hits is quite a bit cheaper than this collection, make Greatest Hits worth getting instead of Sound & Vision.
So, how does Sound & Vision hold up on its own? It is a decent collection of Blondie's most popular songs, but they are mostly radio edits and not the full album versions. They even dared to chop off the openings of "Heart of Glass", Atomic" and "The Tide is High"! Another huge mistake: The incredibly charming French portion of "Sunday Girl" has been removed and substituted by an English translation that the producers must have forced Debbie Harry to record as a backup. The remix included for "Good Boys" is decent, and much MUCH better than the remix for "In the Flesh", but the album version is still the best. The remastering is swell, but in some cases I prefer the remasters of the original album versions (for example, "Union City Blue").
If you're a diehard Blondie fan like me, you will want Sound & Vision for the bonus DVD, which includes some of Blondie's best music videos. These are not traditional music videos because they were all produced before MTV, but rather they are performance videos of the band lip-synching to the studio versions of the songs. My personal favorite of the videos is "Rapture", but "Heart of Glass", "Denis", "Hanging on the Telephone", "Dreaming" and "The Hardest Part" are favorites as well. The worst of them by far is "The Tide of High"--love the song, but the video is T-E-R-R-I-B-L-E.
Most casual listeners will not be concerned with the things I am nitpicking about here. But unless you must have the videos, you would be better off purchasing the 2002 Greatest Hits collection because of the cheaper price tag. Thankfully, I found this collection for $12 used, or else I would have bought Greatest Hits, too.
Blondie Greatest Hits (CD & DVD).......2007-03-10
Fantastic!!! The best songs and the best videos.
One of The Best Blondie Greatest Hits.......2007-01-15
A terrific collection of their greatest hits. Excellent sound quality and comes with a bonus dvd! Although, the re-make of "In The Flesh" I thought was boring and rather dull. Should have just put the original on the line-up and left it alone. It was their first break through hit and the original recording is really pretty. The original recording of "Good Boys" should have been put on there as well. I think the whole thing would be truly excellent had they done that. Otherwise, great collection for Blondie fans and the non alike!
Once I had a band, and they were a gas........2007-01-11
Blondie have finally got the respect they truly deserve. Seeing them inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame was pretty cool (they even had an onstage snit to prove they were still loaded with attitude), and this collection is just frosting on the beater.
On the plus side, you get three interesting "new" items. There's a previously unavailable mix of "Good Boys" (from "The Curse of Blondie" CD), a new mix of "In The Flesh" (which doesn't better the original) and an outrageous mash-up of The Doors Vs Blondie with "Rapture Riders" (and its accompanying video!). The interesting thing about the new "In The Flesh" is that you can imagine the new breed of Rock/pop goddesses like Gwen Stefani of Brittany Spears tackling it - and knowing they wouldn't have a peroxided molecule of the sass that Debbie Harry has.
Blondie was always about flash and glamour, which is what made their best albums ("Parallel Lines" and "Eat To The Beat") so charmingly eclectic and their best singles so earth shattering. They were the first "new-wave" band to score a number one with -- Fer crying out loud -- a disco song, and were the very first band to chart a hit rap song that mashed-up rap and pop. (It was nearly 6 years later that Run-DMC would share video space with the resurgent Aerosmith.) Even the lesser know singles are killer. "The Hardest Part" has got to be the fiercest Debbie Harry vocal, and the French/English version of "Denis" is a lost classic.
The DVD is a hoot. It is kind of striking to see these primitive MTV era bits from "Heart Of Glass" and "Rapture." It's worth it just to see the band in their young and hungry stages...hard to believe that the band that recorded the terrific "Maria" were in their 50s. All great archival material.
Minor quibble - single edits. But these were SMASH singles, and it just goes to show you that there is no shame in being a pop band, and there is also no reason a pop band can't have a major impact on popular culture. Thanks to this new CD/DVD set from Blondie, you can now join in with those who call the music of Debbie Harry and company a pleasure without using the word "guilty" as a preface. Although the 2002 "Greatest Hits" is probably a better CD for the casual listener, for us fans, this is absolutely worth the bucks.
Debbie Harry is the coolest woman in the history of everything........2006-11-23
Awesome greatist hits package- The videos are so simple and entertaining you just want to watch them over and over. Debbie Harry is so cute that you just want to eat her up. Great songs and just a great album.
I really recommend this to any fan of "new wave" or the whole New York Underground scene from the 1970's. One of the best Greatist Hits albums I have ever heard! Long live Blondie and I love Debbie Harry!!!!

Lest you think Jamie Foxx is simply capitalizing on his Oscar-winning turn in Ray, don't forget that Unpredictable is actually a follow-up (albeit 11 years later) to his 1994 debut, Peep This. In fact, Unpredictable even sounds like a slow jams album from the '90s; despite featuring guests like Snoop, Kanye West, and The Game, Foxx isn't trying to out- club Ciara or Amerie with a series of hip-hop-flavored tracks. Instead, he relies on getting his croon on with tried-and-true R&B balladry. Unpredictable actually gets rather predictable over the course of 15 songs, too many of which begin to meld into one another. But on the best songs, like the sublimely acoustic "Heaven" and his duet with Mary J Blige ("Love Changes"), Foxx reminds you that he has been singing just as long as he's been acting; this is no Jamie-Come-Lately. --Oliver Wang

Jamie Foxx- Unpredictable.......2007-06-14
This was a surprise! Jamie can really sing. He does lack songwriting skills but his vocals really make up for it. And he has an all star writing cast and a producing cast on his side which really helps this album alot. He definetly likes sex, which who doesnt but that is what most of this album consists of. But he does it right so its okay that he is a sex maniac. This album wont win any awards, but it will earn him many fans for the future. Including me. But the single and title track "Unpredictable" is really one of the only fast tracks. Most of the other tracks are slowed down baby making tracks. Which is where he excells. I mean the standouts are "Three Letter Word" which is just explaining how the three letter word (Sex) is always on his and many other mens minds. It is a very sexy song. And then there is the Tank assisted "Do What It Do" which is again a mid tempo sex song that you find yourself singing along with. It is definetly a standout track. It just has a sexy coolness to it, which makes it the standout it is. And then the other REAL baby making track on this album is the RL (From Next) assisted slow jam "Storm". ANd boy let me tell you one listen to this track and you are going to be in that mood instantly. It is so soothing and sexy you just cant deny the sexyness this track has. And then he actually changes the mood a bit with the sweet "Heaven" which will have the soft hearts going AWWWWW! And then Jamie morns the loss of his grandmother on the smooth "Wish You Were Here". And then one of the last standouts is the Mary J Blige collabo "Love Changes" which is a mid tempo old school track that explains...well how love changes you. Jamie really surprised me with this album and when he finally makes another album i will be counting down the days til it comes out!

Lyrically challenged.......2007-03-19
Even after just reading the title to the songs, I didn't think there was going to be anything "Unpredictable" about this album. I listened to it and confirmed that this album is a total waste of resources and energy. I'm so surprised that it has 4 out of 5 stars here on Amazon. There is one subject that this album is about. It seems like when he wrote the lyrics he had to be thinking "they'll love it because I'm Jamie Foxx". Maybe he got his ghetto teenage cousin to write these lyrics because they are hideous. I can't blame the man for milking the cow while he's hot though, but I'm truly disappointed (but not too surprised because his first album wasn't that great either) that he couldn't put out a decent product. I'm all for supporting black, but we should expect quality.
jamie fox.......2007-03-09
He is a good actor and a very good singer. Trust you will feel this CD. Just don't mess around and make a baby. And in the event that you do make a baby, just play you still got it.
Jamie Foxx - Unpredictable.......2007-03-09
HATED IT!!! I should have read reviews first. Not at all what I expected. He has a wonderful voice but it was NOT showcased at all. Lyrics are VERY explicit! I could never listen with my young kids in the house...but the CD will not be around here long enough for anyone to hear. I don't care that he thinks about sex every minute or how much he drank or where he ended up! What a voice!!! too bad he wasted it on crappy lyrics. Maybe he should stick to acting. Reminds me of the trainwreck Madonna made with her sex book several years back! Who cares how much sex Foxx is having give me some good music!

EXPLICIT AND FUNNY!!!!.......2003-10-10
This is a hilarious cd it is very explicit but it is funny this is a legend and he is so funny and I would truly reccommend this cd to anyone who likes Redd Foxx he started out at the legendary Apollo Theatre in New York...... This cd is so funny I listen to it all of the time it is explicit so don't listen to it in front of the kids he talks about a lot of things.... But all of the things that he says makes a whole lot of sense!!!!
King of Party Humor.......2001-08-21
Before Pryor, Eddie, Martin, Chris Tucker and Chris Rock, there was Redd Foxx. Redd is the the author and originator of Party Humor. He's the true "King of Comedy."
Great entry point for Old-School Comedy.......2001-06-04
This isn't your parents's Sanford & Son Redd Foxx! This disc presents a ton of really good routines and one-liners from the man who started "blue" comedy. Richard Pryor and Lenny Bruce both come out of this man, and it shows fairly well on this disc. It's not as nasty or blue as some of his other records, but it does show Foxx at the top of his form telling stories ("Letter To A Wife" is incredible, even by today's standards) and joke after joke after joke. The man is an encyclopedia of dirty jokes, and balances his whole act with a strong grip on class, which, considering some of the content, is genius unto itself.
You can find dirtier Foxx, but this collection is a great break-in point for any other purchases you might consider. If you like this one, you'll dig the other stuff. If you don't, lean off it all. This is a great collection of material and scope of Foxx's work.

this man could tell stories.he could tell jokes and could keep people in the palm of his hands.this man's disc has legend written all over it.very funny straight up.

Painfully Bad.......2002-08-17
I was looking forward to some classic Redd Foxx material. What I got was pitifully unfunny and horribly recorded. This actually sounds like a "Worst of Redd Foxx" recording. It's a pity because the man was so much better than what this product shows.
I tried to give zero stars, but the review form forces you to give at least one star.
The only guarantee here is, if you buy it, you will be let down.
YOU BIG DUMMY.......2002-02-04
MAN THIS GUY IS A GENUIS HE'S AN ALL AMERICAN AND I

Foxx Amongst His Own.......2001-03-13
Performed in front of an African-American audience, Uncensored sees Redd Foxx seeming very relaxed as he delivers joke after hilarious joke. The audience is with him, he's with them, and it all makes for a very pleasurable, uplifting and genuinely funny listening experience.
He tells of unfaithful wives, cannibal chiefs, the origins of certain black expressions, contemplates what would happen if only Liberace, Johnny Mathis and Sonny Liston survived WWIII and even relates a story of Moses, St. Peter and "J.C." playing a friendly game of golf. He tells one tale after another to an audience that is very hugely enjoying itself.
The title of the CD might fool you. Foxx's material is not explicit. It's more implicit and subtle, and this was the man's genius. Unlike today, a comedian couldn't just come out and "say it." He had to be crafty about it or face whatever would ensue, be it censorship, arrest, or some other consequence. Foxx was one of the masters of this type of craftiness. This is why, in my opinion, his stuff is infinitely more clever than most of the raw stuff that's out there today.
One of the other things that made Foxx great was his interplay with his audience. Behind the raspy voice, pinpoint timing and wonderfully bawdy humor, was a caring, sensitive man who was aware that, perhaps, his audience really needed to let go. Many times, you can hear him say, "Go on and laugh, honey" or "You can laugh out loud here, friends." Also, to his credit, in all the recordings I have of Foxx (and I have a few), he was never cruel with the people that came to see him, unlike so many comedians of today. This undercurrent of true sensitivity amidst all the laughs, at least to me, was what made Foxx a truly great comedian.
Foxx saw hard times when he was starting out in comedy, and I get the impression that he was sensitive to the fact that perhaps some of his audience might've been going through some hard times, as well. Even years after the material was initially recorded, whenever you let Redd Foxx take a spin on your turntable or in your CD player, be it in the form of Uncensored or any of his many other albums, you end up in a better mood. I'm sure his audience of the time felt the exact same way.
A CLASSIC.......2000-04-23
REDD FOXX un-Loads here.it's Funny non-stop.His Material Has Punch all the way thru.Redd is a Pioneer Of Comedy&deserves more props than he ever gets.A Genius Of Story-Telling&Stage.

Album Description
John Foxx and electro DJ Louis Gordon release Sideways, their fifth album since meeting up just over 10 years ago. The album brings together sci-fi-themed electronic pop songs with trash psychedelia and film music to create the pair's most adventurous recordings to date. In fact, over 25 years after launching his solo career with the minimalist electro pop of Metamatic, Foxx has been enjoying a recent renaissance. In addition to the critically acclaimed From Trash, Foxx brought to life his Tiny Colour Movies album with a stunning performance at the Brighton Film Festival and continued his long-term Cathedral Oceans project with rare screenings at other UK film festivals. He also started work on various collaborative projects with Robin Guthrie (ex-Cocteau Twins) and the actor Vincent Gallo, which are due for release later in 2007. According to Foxx, Sideways explores his fascination with 'things that have all been considered at one time or another as trash - science fiction, TV, B-movies, synthesizers, psychedelia, pop music, comics - all the stuff I love!'

I love Mr Foxx for his uniqueness, but..........2007-06-25
I have been trying to catch up with the latest releases from John Foxx that I haven't picked up since the release of The Golden Section on vynil from back in the day. You know I expected more than what I got.
The only tracks that grab my attention fully are Xray Vision and Use My Voice, otherwise it was rather uneventful to my ears.
The main reason I gave it 3 stars than 2 was the full CD that is an interview with Mr Foxx. I love to listen to him explain in very sober terms about his influence and execution of his art. Otherwise one can get lost in his imagery lyrics and way-out there definitions of the world around him, both in song and on the album cover (strange verbosity to say the least).
I look forward to trying out his other offerings as soon as my paycheck allows.

Customer Reviews:
A Hip-hop Hit with deep touches of Blues Music.......2006-03-18
I believe this song is the starting point of a new direction for hip-hop music (read title).
Song structure breakdown:
1) Rap by Kanye West.
2) Singing (in blues style) by Jamie Foxx.
3) A very heavy but simple beat.
The lyrics of the rap segment describes/speaks of the problem in the relationship. The singing expresses the woes/disappointment. Jamie Foxx his singing is inspired by Ray Charles. The beats increases the intensity of the music.
This "fusion" is a very daring attempt from Kanye West that needs to be praised. The song is produced minimalist in nature. However, it is able to deliver a strong emotional message about a man's woes of a woman of the namesake.
Looking forward to more of such music from him. A master of hip-hop at his creative best.
Catchy........2006-02-08
I'm not a big fan of rap/hip-hop/whatever you want to call it, but I really like this song.
Kanye and Jamie are Professors in the Music Era of 2day.......2006-02-06
what do you expose? They're the best out there. They're like to be describe as Geniuses, but people with alot of hard work and credit. Happy 'Ye (which I call him for short) and Jamie Foxx are going home with the Grammy in they hand at the Grammys Wednesday Night (Feb 8). Looks like it's gonna be better, postive and very strong since last year and the year before 2005.
This is my favorite song to date of 2005 alongside "Ordinary People" by John Legend, "Candy Shop" by 50 Cent, "Go" by Common, "Touch" by Omarion, need I say more?
This shows Jamie Foxx and Kanye were they heading thru they careers. I got mad love for 'em. This song features a sample from the Ray Soundtrack (the movie was fantastic), "I Got a Woman" (that's a bad song!!!) and it incls. well hip hop beats produced by Kanye. Wish I coulda co-produce the track with him, that would've been more exciting. What if I add horns to the top for this track. That is me playing, me arranging, me doing most the other stuff? MisterMaxxx, nice try. Try to stay cool. Your review was real ok. Try to dig deeper.
just ok.......2006-02-05
I'm tired of Kayne West. He ain't that good Musically. a few alright cuts,but not worth no 8 grammy Nominations. this song is alright. true story about Gold Diggers which means it will never end sad to say,but this song is just alright. Jamie Foxx on the Hook still eating off Ray charles's plate.time for Jamie Foxx to get some new Dishes or get some Dixie paper Cups&Plates.Brother Man is wearing out Ray Charles's Plates,Knives,Forks,Spoons&paper towels with still mimicking him. I dug the Movie "Ray" but this is getting Old.He does it again for Luda for "Georgia". but anyway this song is just aight at best.
