With the help of some friends (James Taylor and Alison Krauss lend some vocal support), the trio of Yo-Yo Ma, Edgar Meyer, and Mark O'Connor have created yet another fascinating hybrid of chamber music and bluegrass. This follow-up to 1996's Appalachia Waltz is filled with highly lyrical string passages, a homage or two to Copland, and plenty of tracks where Meyer's bass vamps with the best of them. This is reflective (and relaxing) music, lacking the intricate structure of classical music and the rough edges of folk. But, boy, is it catchy! Yo-Yo Ma fans may be disappointed to hear that--aside from the gorgeous "Duet for Cello and Bass"--the cellist takes more of a supportive role on this disc. Still, this is fun music, more intimate than Short Trip Home (Meyer's other crossover project for Sony), but still lively (just check out "1B" or "Caprice for Three"). --Jason Verlinde

Best on the Planet!.......2006-03-24

These are flawless preformances of great music by some of the most talented artists on the planet. Slumber My Darling will leave you so relaxed you'll have to remember to breathe. The reels will bring you to your feet. This music reaches the soul as well as the ear.

Stilted.......2005-12-15

I suppose you will enjoy this if you really like Yo-Yo Ma at his most boring. This is glorified elevator music and about as interesting.

Walking the trail.......2005-08-07

I actually heard this cd while having a root canal done at the dentist's office. I find the music so wonderful and the vocal segments are great. It does make you feel like you are walking the Appalachian Trail...and makes a root canal painless!

Superb concert.......2005-08-02

I have bought two copies of this disc -- one for my car. The music is wonderful, and the performances are memorable. There's a DVD version, which is equally good. The performers obviously loved working together, and that's fully evident.

Too Studied.......2005-06-22

Two of my favorite CDs in the last couple of years were "Obrigado Brazil" and "In Full Swing" by Yo Yo Ma and Mark O'Connor respectively. I found both of those CDs to be fine examples of genre-busting joyful music making. So when I saw these guys paired here, I snapped it up. Unfortunately, I was disappointed.

The music throughout most of the CD sounds too labored, too studied. It is, frankly, not that inspiring. The playing throughout is, of course, of the highest calibre and the recorded sound excellent. But there is no hint of the exhuberance of Folk or Bluegrass which is the supposed inspiration for the disc. The guest spots by James Taylor and Alison Krauss are good but they sound like outtakes from their own CDs, these songs are out of context here. (But note how many other Amazon reviews reference their contributions as reasons for loving the CD. Perhaps so many five star ratings because these people need broader musical exposure?)

Too many critics over intellectualize. I base my ratings on one simple criterion: How much did the music move me? In this case, not much.

The likes of Yo-Yo Ma, Sam Bush, Edgar Meyer, Joshua Bell, and Mark O'Connor can be heard on Heartland, a compilation featuring the best tracks from Sony's ongoing Appalachian-themed series of CDs. Individually, these folk and classical stars have little in common, but when they meet to play these new bluegrass-meets-chamber-music arrangements, the results are pure magic. It's hard to pinpoint these Americana-tinged tunes--they could fit in either Carnegie Hall or a grange hall--but they're all great; this is as much Aaron Copland's version of roots music as it is Bill Monroe's. Whether on fast-and-furious breakdowns such as "Death by Triple Fiddle" or on mellow, almost New Agey instrumentals such as "Sliding Down" (featuring Bela Fleck on the banjo), these musicians excel. Guest vocals by James Taylor and Alison Krauss break up the instrumentals, though instrumental virtuosity is the real highlight of this disc. If you like what you hear on this sampler, check out the Grammy Award-winning Appalachian Journey next. --Jason Verlinde

Heartland is a haven and a piece of heaven. I was transported.

Great CD.......2004-03-16

Great violin, appalachian music, brings out your country roots, beautiful song by Allison Krauss, good mix of slow and up beat songs, excellent cd!

A bit of a yawn-er.......2003-04-22

If you are planning to open up a high-end gift shop specializing in handcrafted wind chimes and micro-bakery scone mixes and the like, then you must have this CD playing for your customers. It might have a certain appeal there that it did not find in my living room. Not to say that the musicianship is not utterly outstanding, which it is most certainly. Aside from Short Trip Home, which is why I purchased this CD in the first place, I found the rest of the pieces somewhat vapid considering the caliber of the artists. Again, it has its appeal in an easy listening realm, but this was not what I was looking for.

Exquisitely good music!.......2002-05-04

Didn't expect an outstanding cd, don't know exactly why i got it,maybe because of yo yo and bela, but every piece is played
beautifully, even the vocal piece by James Taylor. The album is almost too good to be called Heartland, every piece is a class act. Bravo!

Great Music!.......2001-11-09

I drive alot commuting to and from my job. This music has served as the perfect backdrop to an lovely Indiana fall! I'm sure I'll recall those colorful images as I continue to listen to this CD through the colorless days of winter!

Heart - Comes Back After A Decade Away.......2007-05-06

After Heart released "Desire Walks On" in 1993 and the live "The Road Home" in 1994 it looked as though the band had decided to pack it up for good. The Wilson sisters formed The Love Mongers and Heart was pretty much put on the back burner for the better part of a decade. So, it was to the surprise of many that n 2004 Heart made a huge artistic comeback with the release of one of the better studio albums of their career "Jupiter's Darling". At this point Heart as a band is basically just Ann and Nancy Wilson. No one remains from either the original or 80's / 90's era lineups. Even longtime member Howard Leese is nowhere to be found on this disc. In their place are a cast of young musicians who seem to have bred new life into the tried and true Heart formula. "Jupiter's Darling" is a concept album. To quote the album "Jupiter's Darling is the story of a temptress who lures men of power away from making war". The story line appears to be followed rather loosely through the album, but it is not really the focus. The main aspect of the album is the individual songs, and for the most part they are all good. The cheesy synthesizers are long gone and in some way this album harkens back to their 70's roots. The opening track "Make Me" with it acoustic guitar intro will immediately remind one of "Crazy On You" from "Little Queen". Heart has always had a Led Zeppelin influence and I think it makes it's presence known throughout this disc. The mix of rockers, and acoustic oriented ballads fit's pretty close to an album like Led Zeppelin III. Nancy Wilson takes a larger role on this one and sings lead on no less than 5 songs. Her voice is not as strong as Ann's, but she has a sweet quality to her vocals that seems to really work on certain songs. Overall I would think that people who came on board the Heart band wagon in the 80's may not like this album that much, but for people who like their 70's classic output this is a fine return to form.

perfect Goodbye.......2007-01-21

I love anything heart does,,, I'm a huge fan but the only songs that spoke to me were lost angel and perfect goodbye

Heart-shaped world.......2007-01-16

Perhaps it's the lead song's thrumming chords instinctive of classic songs like "Love Alive," or the crisp shrill of Ann Wilson's voice that make the commencing of Heart's first studio release in over ten years a refreshing return. Sisters Ann and Nancy have grown from a multitude of vines starting out as Seattle's first band of hard rock to transformations from the mushroom-flavored rock of the 70's to the glamour of big hair and big hits during the 80's. Jupiter's Darling shows that the first sisters of rock have kept the best of their musical chapters and left the less preserved where it belongs, as Nancy Wilson sings in "Things," with her voice as acoustic as her guitar chords, "It's all the same, we figured out what to take and what to leave for the honey bees." "Things" is followed by "The Perfect Goodbye," a perfect tune with hooks that catch the ear while latching onto the heart. Heart's memorable blend of guitars and background melodies with Ann Wilson's sharp vocals are revisited as she sings, "No time no tell-as from your lips, the words that never fell, it's a simple farewell." The sisters follow with the power ballad "Enough," and then kick their heels with the rock flavored "Move On," where Ann shows she can still belt a song and Nancy can still play guitar with the best of them. Heart can still write melodies to both kick and soothe the soul. And their salt of the earth lyrics will make you think they never went away.

Heart Returns as Big as Jupiter.......2006-11-23

I totally missed it when Jupiters Darling was released in 2004. I discovered it browsing the web one night in 2005 when I was wondering if Heart had been doing anything lately. I immediately got myself a copy. I admit that I had a bit of trepidation, as I had no idea where their musical tastes had led them in the intervening years, and they have certainly dabbled in a variety of styles popular at the time they have recorded. (Which as most know, hasn't always been a good thing. Just say no to synthesizers!)

My trepidation was somewhat realized, in that there are a couple songs I don't care for too much, as they seem to be more in the style of post-grunge alternative rock, which only occasionally appeals to me. That's not to say they aren't good songs, other Heart fans with a different range of tastes may like them a great deal better. The thing about this album is that it contains 16 songs. If you don't like a few of them, so what? There's plenty left to choose from!

As others have mentioned, Nancy's songs aren't a strong point of the album. Nancy really does have a beautiful voice. But Ann's is more powerful and has an edginess that propels it into greatness. Plus, I'm such an unabashed Annie fan that any song she doesn't sing gives me a bit of a withdrawal twitch. When in the right mood, I enjoy "I'm Fine", though ironically enough it falls somewhat into the category I mentioned above. I do really like "I Need the Rain". It's my second favorite that Nancy has sung, after "Stranded" on the Brigade album.

Quite a few of the songs are sort of middle of the road for me. I really enjoy listening to them, but they aren't the ones that tend to play in my head as I'm going about my daily business. Among those are songs like "The Oldest Story in the World", "The Perfect Goodbye", "Enough", and "I Give Up".

Jupiters Darling does contain several songs that have become some of my Heart favorites. Most of them slowly grew on me over the course of several listenings until they finally stuck in my head just as much as "Crazy on You" or "Love Alive". I'm hard pressed to say what my absolute favorite is from the album. At first it was "Lost Angel". But depending on my mood it could also be "Make Me" or "No Other Love".

"No Other Love" is interesting because it's so incredibly simple as far as lyrics go, yet it really does give me that "I'm flying" feeling. The instrumental arrangement for the song is perfect, first a simple beat and guitar, then adding mandolin, and finally a cello I believe it is, fully fleshing it out into a thing of beauty. I consider "Make Me" to be classic Heart in sound and style. It starts off with Nancy displaying her mastery of the acoustic guitar, then breaks into a rock rhythm while blending acoustic and electric. Not my top favorite on the album, but I really really like it, "Fallen Ones" is very Zeppelinesque in style, and is their most blatant homage to date.

So to sum up, Jupiters Darling is a very strong addition to Heart's incredible catalogue. If there's one overriding weakness to the album it's that it's not an internally consistent whole, due to the variety of music styles and number of tracks. This was an album that had to grow on me. I didn't immediately take to it, but I listen to parts of it it now as much as I do my older faves, which include Dreamboat Annie, Little Queen, and Heart. (Just to be complete, my newer favorites are Desire Walks On and The Road Home.) I consider Jupiters Darling to be a solid middle tier Heart album on my scale of most to least favorites, lumping it in somewhere near Brigade and Bebe le Strange. Ann continues to amaze and astound me. I don't think anyone listening to the album who didn't already know would ever guess she's in her 50's. Rock on!

p.s. I get the feeling that people who rated this album with one star are those who only liked the 80's albums and do not appreciate the true breadth of musical talent that the Wilson sisters possess. The 80's are done and over with. It's time to move on, just like those of us who originally loved Dreamboat Annie have moved on.

This 1991 companion to German director Wim Wenders's film sets a high water mark for the intelligent use of cutting-edge popular (and we're using that term in its broadest sense) music on film, deservedly cracking onto critical lists for the best releases of that year, period. The contemplative thriller's setting at the end of the millenium is answered by a remarkable repertory of artists including Talking Heads, Neneh Cherry, Lou Reed, Elvis Costello, R.E.M., Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds, Patti Smith, Jane Siberry with k.d. lang, T-Bone Burnett, Daniel Lanois and U2, a de facto dream team. Nearly all these performances were unheard at the time of release, and beyond the evident marquee lustre there's an underlying cohesion to the sense of yearning that prevails. Both Cave and U2 build powerful songs around the title theme, Elvis offers a brilliant Ray Davies cover, and the Siberry/lang classic, "Calling All Angels," summarizes the spiritual underpinnings of this thoroughly modern, ultimately timeless classic in film music. --Sam Sutherland

I had seen the movie and wanted the soundtrack. The CD is dated, but worth it to have if you liked the movie.

Evocative & Eclectic.......2007-02-10

Just an absolutely amazing album. This genius collection of songs was probably one of my biggest musical influences.

Must have.......2006-12-24

There's not a single clunker on this disc. It's worth twice the offered price. Buy it, you will not be disappionted!

Magic of Music.......2006-09-30

I first heard this soundtrack circa spring of '92. My niece Mel had this playing in her car one day we went out of town and it moved me so much I immediately went out and bought it for myself. I was heavy into U2's "Achtung Baby" at the time and thought it was really cool that this soundtrack was named after a song on that c.d. and was also included on it.

I'd heard most of these artists already, but this soundtrack seemed to bring out a different feel to them. Every song on this soundtrack is gorgeous and often stunning, a few even bring me to tears every time I hear them, one being Jane Siberry's "Calling All Angels" {I recently heard a beautiful cover of this song one day coming home from Seattle on "A Prarie Home Companion"; Garrison Keiller's All Star Band and a female singer who's name escapes me played a moving rendition of it and I was amazed by it, it's power, it's beauty, even played live in this context}.

One of all-time Favorite c.d.'s in my music collection, the music on this soundtrack seems to transcend time and space. Beautiful and moving.

Music Of Moods.......2006-08-17

My fiancee kept trying to play her old casette version of this soundtrack. It was so old that it kept on messing up her player. I ordered this music on CD, and the first night she received it, she could not believe the improved sound quality of the music she cherished. Listening in a new way kept her bragging about the songs all night long. Well, almost all night long.

Great songs, great artist. Mood music. Try it.

Album Description

If you can imagine Portishead, with more accsessible vocals, rich harmonies, classical style piano playing, gorgeous string sections and the most amazing beats ever programmed, then you have Daughter Darling. This project is the culmination of 6 years of beat production, the most talented piano, guitar and string players, a world class DJ battle champion and a girl who knew she was going to be a singer since 3 years old. Every song has been carefully crafted into a masterpiece.

Natalie's unique voice provides a strong basis for music that is dark and moody. The title track "Sweet Shadows" deals with her emotions of moving to a big city, feeling alone with only the shadows to guide her as she walks around seeing many "soul-less" people. Voodoo games, is about an ex-boyfriend who can't let go, and uses a voodoo doll to try and continue to keep his violent hold on her from afar.

Customer Reviews:

Sarah McLachlan Meets Portishead.......2007-02-27

Sara McLachlan-esque breathy, ethereal, yet powerful vocals get a trip-hop spin from Daughter Darling, and it's a case of two great tastes that taste great together. DJ Infiniti's non-intrusive scratching raises the group's moody, folkish, Celtic-tinged singing and tunes from the list of Lachlan-wannabes and helps the group stake out territory of its own. However, the album is not so trip-hoppy that I think it would only appeal to fans of that unjustly overlooked subgenre; the voice and piano work are strong enough to carry the album even without the edge Infiniti provides. The album is consistent in quality all the way through, with numerous highlights, and is enjoyable enough to sustain repeated listens. But beware of listening too carefully: the quality of the music exceeds the quality of the lyrics, and you'll start to notice if you concentrate too hard. The best way to listen to this album is to lie back let it wash over you without reflecting on it too much. Let Daughter Darling hypnotize you. You'll get lost in this album and love it.

Quick P.S........2007-01-23

The first track on Sweet Shadows, Broken Bridge, was also used in the first episode of Bones, Season One - that's how I heard of it, though it took some internet research to track down Daughter Darling - glad I did!

notice how the people that give this bad reviews sound really pretentious & dumb..........2006-07-15

so dont trust them...all of these songs have a different make up (within the genre of course...there's not as much range as one song being gabber waltz & the other a sadcore country garage techno experiment...who would really wont that?)...the first six are great then the rest are all good as well but it's hard to stomach such a well-crafted cd all at once...might have to take a break, listen to something less interesting for a min. (i.e. lamb, nightmares on wax, k&d whatever whatever)
bottom line people!!!!
...this is the best american trip-hop outfit out right now!

Sweet Shadows Indeed!.......2006-05-10

Daughter Darling has missed the trip hop boat by about a decade. Still, the album doesn't seem dated, and being a fan of trip hop, I'm glad to see a group still out there producing original stuff in the genre. Sweet Shadows may actually be one of the better trip hop albums, as in it is more balanced. It's less depressing than Tricky, but less poppy than Olive. It's got a nice combination of dark melodies that are somewhat catchy, while not being over the top in either direction.

The whole album is quite good and coherent. It sets the tone with the opening chords and doesn't waiver too far from that place of calm, subdued and perhaps a bit sad. This type of music always somewhat borders on the sentimental, melodramatic, self-pitying pit fall, but they manage to skilfully hover the rim without falling in. Honestly I was a bit scared when I saw there was a cover of Dust in the Wind on the album, but somehow they pull it off and make you almost forget it was a Kansas song.

This is a great album if you actually enjoy a rainy day every once in a while. It is quite mesmerizing and hypnotic, but then of course it also runs into the danger of being repetitious. Perhaps it depends most upon your mood when you listen to it, as to what form it takes. Either way, it is definitely worth checking out! And just one more thing, the album title Sweet Shadows is perhaps the perfect description for the mood and tone of this album.

Must Have.......2006-04-11

I previewed this cd on amazon.com before I purchased it. It is such an AMAZING cd. I never heard of Daughter Darling before the amazon.com recommendation. You need to get this. The entire cd is amazing.

Decent playing, lousy arrangements.......2005-11-11

Well, apparently I'm in the minority, but I found this CD disappointing. I bought it because I fell in love with "Song to the Moon" when I heard it on the radio, but this track and possibly the "Londonderry Air" are the only ones worth listening to. Although the melodies chosen for this album are indeed beautiful, the arrangements (Rieu's own) are poorly done. I would much more highly recommend Joshua Bell's Romance of the Violin, which has a similar theme, albeit restricted to classical tunes.

Forget the hype, this is great music.......2005-08-04

Try not to think about the cheesy "Andre Rieu in Tuscany" PBS special. This is a very pleasing program of selections of great romantic melodies, beautifully arranged. Few people are going to purchase a CD of Dvorak's Rusalka just to hear "Song to the Moon" so this is the place to hear it. And it's even better on Rieu's violin than in the original vocal version. Rieu plays perfectly in tune (not always easy in the higher registers of the violin) and has exquisite phrasing that brings out the musicality of even the most over-recorded selections.

Rhieu's arrangements (with Jo Huijts) have hints of "beautiful music" (think Ray Coniff) but only hints, and the result is very tasteful. For example, the piano obligato under the strings on "O mio babbino caro" makes you wish that Puccini had thought of that.

This is a wonderful album to listen to while relaxing and would make a great gift for someone who appreciates classical music but doesn't have specific preferences.

Music That Will Touch Your Heart.......2004-12-05

This one is one of my favorites of Andre Rieu. It's very romantic. It reminded me of my honeymoon in Vienna. I like to play it at home a lot. It lifts the spirit and touches the heart. Made me cry one time.

David Darling, the "Lord of Largo," returns with another album of slow-motion melodies and cello textures. Although he's recorded many albums in the interim, this is really a follow-up to 1993's 8-String Religion. That CD, unlike his more austere recordings for ECM, was a highly produced affair, with electronically processed cello, overdubbed with piano, a touch of synthesizer, and some environmental sounds. Cello Blue follows suit as Darling creates a richly sonorous world, full of melancholy and yearning, an interior rumination that opens up into a world of cloud-strewn skies and refracted sunshine. Layering pizzicato cello against languid bowed lines with droplets of piano, Darling creates enveloping soundscapes only occasionally shortchanged by pedestrian synthesizer programming. However, one listen to the serene lullaby of Darling's title track or the delicate pastoral expanse of "Morning," and it's evident that Darling, along with Tim Story and a few others, forms the foundation of ambient chamber music. --John Diliberto

Soft pleasing music.......2006-11-06

I use this CD in my yoga class. It's very soft, gentle, and soothing. A nice play in the car after a long day at work.

Popular Music.......2006-02-25

Excellent-I'm currently using it in my treatment room for therapeutic massage and my clients love it. I like working to it- it is soothing and melodic- I would highly recommend this for relaxation and/or background music. I also love the use of mostly real and not synthesized music.

Massage therapist on Maui.......2003-05-10

I buy music for massage almost every week and this is the one CD I would recommend over any other out there. I have been playing it almost every day for two years during my massage sessions and almost everyone on the table wants to know who the artist is and what the name of the album is. His other CD's are also beautiful, but I have not used them for massage for they are not quite as ambient. Other music I recommend for massage include Migration - Nakai, Afterglow - Wheater, Hoppe and Tillman and Shadowplay - Tim Story.

An Excellent Must Purchace CD!.......2003-02-17

This CD contains some great New Age music. I have been listening to "Echos" and "Hearts of Space" types of music for years and I highly recommend this disc. It is great for stress relief and calming down. It is also perfect for driving home after a nasty day at work. This album is a good investment!

My new favorite CD.......2002-10-22

I listened to about 15 seconds of a sample and ordered it. About 1 week later, it became the theme music for a romantic encounter.
Now, each night I drift off to blissfull slumber to the sounds of "Cello Blue." If you enjoy introspection and relaxation, do yourself a favor and get this one.

Joy In Worship.......2007-01-10

I would recommend that anyone who loves up beat gospel music get this one, if only for track 7, All Night Long. I love this song, it came on @ 6 AM one morning to my alarm clock, I immediately woke up singing and crying this song. I went on to have a wonderful day. I had to search the web to find it, and once I did, I had to order several more for 2 of my friends, who also happened to be my Minister and Pastor.

Uplifting.......2007-01-09

This CD was recommended to me by a dear friend. Oh my goodness. I seldom ever take it out of my player. His testimony about his son and the following song, From Me To You Lord, for me, takes me right before the throne of God. I love good traditional heart and spirit felt music and truly You Deserve My Worship, is all of that and more for me as well as those at our church. Even the children love to sing, You Deserve My Worship.

Good Job!.......2006-03-03

I grew up in Newark, New Jersey in a church that Alvin Darling played piano and organ in at one time. I had to go all the way to North Carolina to hear this wonderful work. Immediately upon my return to Newark, New Jersey, I rushed to Amazon's website to purchase "I called on the Lord" I've enjoyed it immensely. Good Job Alvin Darling!

worship and praise.......2005-09-27

I thought this CD was awesome. I ordered this CD to hear the song"All Night" but became intrigued with many of the other songs including "Testimony". I listen to this album almost every morning going to work. It is a very inspirational CD with lots of praise and worship. It helps to start my day off on the right note.

A Blessing!.......2005-09-27

I purchased this CD for "All Night". When I began browsing through the intro's to see what else I liked, I had to go to the beginning and just listen to the entire CD. Each song captured me. Each song has a message for someone in your congregation - Very appropriate for Sunday Morning Worship. Buy it today, you will enjoy!

Very Different From thier Previous Albums.......2007-03-13

Glenn Danzig was never known for complex musical arrangements but I feel that in his early days as a performer he had something to offer. With his first band, THE MISFITS, Glenn introduced the punk world to monsters, evil, and chaotic music that I feel was the heaviest punk at the time (1977-83) had to offer. I myself am not a huge punk fan but THE MISFITS to me stood on thier own from the whole scene. I don't think any other band sounded like them. "Earth A.D." was released in 1983 and was the last record they would make that meant anything. It opens up with the title track and drags you into the dark and disturbing mind of Danzig. "Earth A.D." sounds as if the hordes of hell are let loose. We then move into "Queen Wasp". After a generous amount of feedback, you are punched in the face with a devastating guitar riff played by Doyle. Glenn's ever present howling opens this track into vampire women and death with a ferocity that cannott be matched. Moving right along, we next hear "Devilock" which again pummells the listeners ears into submission. "Death Comes Ripping" sounds just like the title and "Green Hell" is a prototype to METALLICA with it's devastating downstrokes. Now, we have "Mommy, Can I go out and Kill Tonite?". One of the best. Halfway thru the album, we move onto "Wolfbslood". My guess is this little ditty is about turning into a werewolf. Hence the lyrics, "it's wolfs blood and it's pumping like it's f***ing in my veins and I feel my vertabre shaking". Cool stuff. "Demonomania" is a short thrasher that takes no prisoners and then we are treated to "Bloodfeast" which to me is a precurser to Glenn's next band, SAMHAIN. "Hellhound" is a virtual monster from the depths of hades that gives out no mercy and expects none in return. I should mention that "Die, Die my Darling" and "We Bite" were not originally on this album. As well as "Mommy, Can I go out and Kill Tonite". I believe these were singles, if I'm not mistaken. With the invention of CD technology and remastering techniques, "Earth A.D." needed an overhaul. It did get it on this particular release and that is great. When I first heard this album, I had borrowed it from a friend in high school and I thought that there was something wrong with his copy. So, I went out and bought it, and it sounded the same as his. It wasn't until it came out on CD that it's full effect was felt by me unfortunetly years after it was originally released. Personally, I love this album and is a most needed addition to fans of extreme music. As far as the sound on the CD goes it is so much crisper and clearer and in no way loses any of it's awesome power. All the dirt is still there. It just sounds a lot better. I should also point out that Glenn's lyrics on "Earth A.D." are his most twisted and venomous. In his long career of 31 years he has never matched the lyrics of this album. It sounded like he was a demented serial killer on the rampage. I wouldn't doubt that even SLAYER thought he was nuts. THE MISFITS last album with Glenn Danzig is a blood-spattered platter of punk in it's most evil and primitive form.

not quite like their other albums.......2006-11-04

if you read any of my other reviews you will hear my go on and on about the misfits and what an influence they had/have on me. so why only the one star? because if youll notice the track list, it is simply the last 7 songs on the collection 1 album and the last 5 on the collection 2...so you may already own this and not even know it. just buy collection 1 and 2 and you WILL then have this album too!

Awesome!!! Yet Another Killer Fits Release!.......2006-08-06

(this album accually gets a 4.5 from me, but The Misfits are too good for me to give anything under a 5!)

Earth AD/Wolfsblood is awesome, but much different from anything that The Misfits have EVER done before. Many of these songs are extremely fast. Nothing else was as fast or brutal before this album, and nothing else is as fast or brutal today. But it's very good. It contains some very superb Misfits songs, like Earth AD, Devilock, Death Comes Ripping, Green Hell, Mommy Can I Go Out And Kill Tonight?, Demonomania, Bloodfeast, We Bite, and my personal favorite Die Die My Darling.

If there's any bad thing about this album, it's these three songs: Wolfsblood, Queen Wasp, and Hellhound. They're not bad songs at all, but they all sound exactly the same and IMO, they're kinda boring. I don't hate em, they're just not favorites. They're average.

So, if you're looking for a punk/metal album with an extreme amount of originality, go for this!(hell, buy all their albums!) It's dark, creepy, brutal, and will leave you bleeding and in stitches and begging for more.

KILLER 'FITS ALBUM.......2006-05-09

This is probably the fastest, most in your face Misfits album. Every song is unique. This is probably the third best Misfits album, the first being "Walk Among Us", and the second being "Static Age", so after getting those get this, or buy the box set.

Misfits do Hardcore.......2006-01-24

The final MISFITS recordings were "Earth A.D./Wolfsblood" and the "Die, Die My Darling" EP, both included on this CD. After making their mark as a horror movie version of RAMONES doing ELVIS PRESLEY, the band adopted the "in" style of punk at the time (1982), which was playing blazingly fast hardcore punk. Although considered now a classic MISFITS album, at the time it was released many fans (and even some of the band members themselves) were put off by this slightly less melodic approach in favor of straight thrash beats, ultimately serving as a huge influence to up and coming Thrash Metal bands such as SLAYER and (guess who?) METALLICA. I listened to this album just months before METALLICA's "Garage Days Re-Revisited" EP was released in the summer of 1987, so I prefer MISFITS' version of "Green Hell" slightly over METALLICA's. At the time I heard this, I was more keen on liking this type of hardcore: fast, unrelenting and ferociously brutal, yet it retained those classic MISFITS melodies though buried under the intense barrage of guitars, bass and drums. I have grown to like their more melodic material a bit more, but nontheless, "Earth A.D." is an essential album for any true MISFITS fan or for fans of vintage, head ripping hardcore punk.
