Product Description
Venezuelan band RETROVERTIGO certainly took the title of a Mr BUNGLE track, when choosing its name. Published in the year 2005 by the Musea label, the quartet's first album is a real and fascinating surprise. Except one title sung in Spanish, the opus is entirely instrumental, displaying a music at the crossroads between sophisticated rock ala RADIOHEAD and Seventies Progressive rock. One could think of the successful mixture created by the French group MONOCEROS. On the edge of Gothic, this melancholic music provides new sensations through eleven pieces from various lenghts. The emphasis is put on slowness and emotion, discrediting virtuosity. To be discovered !

A Classic Recording.......2007-03-09

This was a great buy for me. The power and accuracy of Placido's voice are demonstrated well. Two CD's and 34 songs--just can't beat that for the price.

A must for a Placido fan.......2005-04-23

If you've continously listened to this master of tenors and said "wow, I like it, I want to listen even more of him", then raise it to 5 stars, which is the rating I personally give the CD; HOWEVER, if you've only heard him once or not at all, you might want to wait a while and get to know him and other tenors better. Why? Well, disc 1 is the "classical" disc, with arias from famous operas and choral pieces by Puccini and the like, but disc 2, the "modern" or "popular" disc, contains music that will leave you a bit puzzled, since it's is not for everyone; a lot of people have never heard zarzuela or tunes by Manzanero or Lecuona. In short, this disc is better suited for fans of Placido or people who want to know him better, if not, it still is a top choice, and this way you just might fall in love with him (well, his singing, not him literally).

Great for what it is.......2005-01-13

I agree with the previous poster that this does not contain his great dramatic stuff like otello/wagner, but the collection is a beautiful one. There are some great recordings here, and his crossover stuff(maria, Dulcinea, impossible dream) is very interesting. His opera is of course impecable and brilliant. Finally we get to hear Domingo's high C in Di Quella Pira, and its a good one. The zarzuela or spanish operetta type songs and are wonderful.

I found this to be beautiful and exhilirating to listen to.

Certainly not ALLL the Essential Domingo.......2005-01-03

I grew up with Placido Domingo. Not in the sense of being boyhood friends, but rather in the sense that he was part of my "Golden Age" at the Metropolitan Opera. Of the "Three Tenors" (more Marketing hype than useful grouping of three fine singers) Domingo was the most dramatic - the "heaviest" of the three. His repertoire extended well beyond the lyric - and that's why this collection is not all the "essential" Domingo, but rather offers an interesting look at the lighter, more lyric side of Placido Domingo. You won't find Lohengrin or Otello here, but you will find many of the more lyric tenor arias from Verdi, Puccini and Donizetti - to name a few.

There is an "edge" to Domingo's voice that perhaps accounts for his ability to transition successfully into the heavier repertory. I find that tonal quality particularly noticeable in this collection - and sometimes too pronounced. On the other hand, there are a few wonderful surprises. His "Una furtiva lagrima" from L'elisir d'amore is a stand out. Its rare you here a tenor with this much power sing the role. The duet "Bima dagli occhi" from Madama Butterfly with Renata Scotto, again casts Pinkerton with a quality tenor not often found in the opera house any more. I loved the selection from Gianni Schicchi - when is the last time you found Rinuccio cast with this size tenor voice - and the Italian tenor's aria from Rosenkavalier is a treasure from a recording currently out of print. And then there is one of Domingo's signature roles - Jack Rance in Puccini's La Fanciulla del West. No one sings Rance better than Domingo - and the excerpt from the complete recording finds Domingo at his very best.

Disk two is devoted to song - popular and classical. There is a fair amount of tripe - too much cross over (as in who needs to hear Domingo sing "The Impossible Dream" from Man of La Mancha - Broadway is not Mr. Domingo's genre). But there are some wonderful cuts as well - "Granada" is a Domingo encore specialty, and I was particularly struck by the song "In Pace" from the motion picture Hamlet - I never saw the film and was truly taken aback at how beautiful a song this is, and Domingo's voice soars.

I found the sound of these CD's a bit "tinny". Perhaps its the analogue to digital conversion, but I was disappointed in the overall sound. The album is badly mistitled "The Essential Placido Domingo". Certainly this is some of the essential Domingo - and some very wonderful examples of the lyric Domingo - but there is clearly a volume two to come - the dramatic Placido Domingo. But why wait - buy this fine collection, and then feast on some of the complete recordings such as Otello or Lohengrin.

Solid, comfortable, familiar -- very good!.......2005-01-01

Why wait to see if this reviewer enjoyed Sony's latest offering: I did, and so will you. Hats off to Sony for getting it right with this two CD, 34-song bonanza of Placido Domingo singing -- well, as the name implies -- the essentials, from opera to Broadway to Hollywood, in a mix that keeps its distance while holding it all together in a package that breeds enough familiarity to make even the most harsh tenor critic purr. The more clasical offerings are on the first CD and the more sentimental are on disc two. Interestingly, I found side two more seductive and subdued in tone, and enjoyed listening to Mr. Domingo's interpretation of such popular favorites as "Maria" from "West Side Story", "Dulcinea" from "Man From LaMancha" and a couple duets with John Denver (Perhaps Love) and Maureen McGovern (A Love Without End). The songs selected for side two actually did set a thematic tone. Readers of my reviews know that I place a high value on a CDs overall ability to present what is offered in a bundle that sets and keeps a mood. I usually ask two questions: is it consistent once the mood is set; and does it keep the listener in that mood throughout once established? Here, well, here, I break from tradition and profess some confusion. The mood on disc one is not thematic but ecclectic -- from solo's to duets, from live recordings to studio, from one orchestra to the next, from upbeat to mellow. Technically, while there is some difference in the overall sound quality while switching from one setting to another, it is something you would have to listen for to catch, and becaue of this doesn't amount to a serious flaw as presented. What saves disc one from my usual "tenor blahs" is Mr. Domingo's exceptional voice and the selection of songs chosen -- which, while altering between one mood and another, are all familiar enough that we listen with knowing ease to what we expect. This isn't the kind of CD you put on while holding a conversation with anyone, but rather one you would put on, close your eyes and listen to for its sheer technical achievement -- or more precisely for Mr. Domingo's talent. The voice is clear and strong and passinate and reflects Mr. Domingo's control of his range and interpretive skills. Listen to Verdi's "Ingemisco" with The London Symphony and Leonard Bernstein; Puccini's "Bimba Dagli Occhi" with Renata Scoto (he sings a couple meodies with Scoto) and Umberto Giordino's "Amor ti Vieta" from Fedora to get an idea of what I am referring to here. It took me a couple sessions with each side to settle down and appreciate what was offered. Hopefully this review will get you ready and you will enjoy it from the start. PJW

N THUGZ WE TRUST.......2007-01-24

THUG LORDZ
IN THUGZ WE TRUST

For those who do not know, the Thug Lordz originally consisted of YUKMOUTH, C-BO, and SPICE 1. But Spice couldn't be there to record the album so Yuk and Bo had to do it on their own. The end product was this album full of West Coast bangers for your listening pleasure.

1.GO HARD IN THE PAINT-the first joint comes out hard like the title suggests. C-BO comes out first with the hook and opening verse, and has always Bo comes threw with a hard verse. YUKMOUTH is up next with that cocky flow he is known for, and KILLA TAY comes with the third verse to end the track. MO' BETTA laced the perfect beat for these three, it is the perfect opening song to introduce the album with.4.5/5

2.44 MAG GLOCC-RAW STEEL is up next on production, and he does not disappoint on this track, this is actually one of my favorite songs on the album. The same three from the previous track come back for a second round k.o. Bo is back on the hook again and also drops a hot verse. Yuk as usual drops heat as well, but Killa Tay kills this track.5/5

3.SHE'S A H**-this is the first track the two do together with just them two, and though it is not one of the strongest songs on the album it is alright. This song is basically about a homie that is going to marry a h**. Yuk and Bo spit about her sleazy ways over a laid back beat from Mo' Betta.3.5/5

4.HE AIN'T A THUG-now I think it is safe to say that anybody who listens to West Coast music has heard this song. This is the diss song from the album that is aimed a 50Cent and his G Unit click. So while I don't consider this a classic diss track it is worthy of some praise. For one this is the track that features 50 `s old running buddies BANG EM SMURF & DOMINATION. The SILVER BACK GURILLAZ do their thing on this track. Also this is the first production credit for MARK SPARKS, and while he has been around for a while most people [at least in my experience] know him from producing for Kurupt's "AGAINST THE GRAIN" album, and Canibus's "MIND CONTROL" album. Also noteworthy is the hard verses from C Bo and Yukmouth who kill it, also I always thought the hook was funny.4.5/5

5.AMERICAN DREAM-now this is the solo song from Yukmouth, and as usual this is killer track. the beat from NAN DOG is a haunting instrumental that is perfect for Yuk to spill game over. Yuk does his thing on this track, this is another great track.5/5

6.GET AWAY-J CLASSIC drops a bouncy beat for the Thug Lordz to ride to on the album, and ride they do. Bo starts things off with a great verse that only helps to show off his flow. Yuk hits the track up next with another great verse and an excellent flow. Bo takes the final verse and basically claims this track as his with another nice verse.4.5/5

7.KILLA CALI-next up is what I believe was the single for the album, and it is definitely worthy of that honor. What makes this track more special is the fact that it is the track has all three members of the Thug Lordz. SPICE 1 kicks things off with a hard verse and even laces the hook for the song. C Bo takes the third verse, as Yuk finishes the track off, but Spice took this track. Also E A SKI & CMT are the ones who laced this menacing beat.5/5

8.BULLETPROOF LOVE-now this track here should have been a single because if this would have had a video and radio play this album would have sold a lot more. The beat from RYTHEM D is excellent and is one of my favorites on the album, also the sample for the hook is nice. Yuk spits first followed by C Bo but it is surprisingly EASTWOOD that steals the show on this one.5/5

9.GET YA MONEY [BE A THUG LORD] -Mark Sparks returns for a production credit and does a pretty good job, but nothing like his work on Kurupt's album. Bo kicks it off with an ok verse, Yuk takes this one with his verse on this one. But when they share a verse at the end both shine much better.4/5

10.MADE MEN-the team of Yuk, Bo, Killa Tay, and producer Mo' Betta return for another banger. The beat is hard and nice to bump, and Killa's opening verse is amazing. Yuk takes the second verse with a nice verse, and Bo takes the finial verse and kills it. Over all another banger for the speakers.4.5/5

11.MY LIFE-now this BANGER right here is the C Bo solo track and Bo kills this track with and outstanding flow. Bo stepped it up on this track lyricaly and even speed up his flow, and even when the hook hits and it is slower than the verse it still fits. The BANGING beat is courtesy of the ever talented BOSKO, who also incorporates the Roger Troutman talk box. This is another that would have made noise as a single with push.5/5

12.LET'S FLIP HER-and now we are back two the Thug Lordz spitting together, and once again it is produced Raw Steel. Also this is another track about sex and girls, and like the last one this is one of the weaker tracks. It is an ok track though, and you might like it, or then I did.3.5/5

13.21 GUN SALUTE-we end things with another banger for all to enjoy, and once again this track is produced by E A Ski & CMT. They did an excellent job on this track, it is a very original beat and Yuk killed the first verse. Bo kills the second verse with his hardcore flow. They share the finial verse and kill that one as well and ensure that they end the album right.5/5

Over all this is very strong album and I think even the casual rap fan would enjoy this album. Sure it isn't a mainstream sounding album but that is what is great about it, I recommend the album to all.

C-Bo and Yukmouth make better albums solo.......2006-09-29

Standout tracks: HE AINT A THUG(excellent and funny g-unit diss), GET AWAY, KILLA CALI, BULLETPROOF LOVE, MADE MEN and MY LIFE. Filler: She's a ho, Lets flip her 44 mag glocc etc. Bottom Line: this collabo album is another reason why great rappers should never do collabo albums. Yukmouth and C-Bo are better solo. Take it from a person who has some of their albums(C-Bo's Enemy of the State and Yukmouth's Thug Lord my favorite albums) these guys are at their best on the solo tip. The production is questionable and brings this album down a couple of stars.

Yuk & Bo at their finest.......2005-11-08

thiz cd slaps hella hard wit nuttin but that oakland-sacramento mobb muzic. Yuk & C-bo work great together. Thiz collabo is better than C-Bo & Brotha Lynch CD. They go hard in every track and spit nuttin but gasoline on da mic. 50 has nuttin on them and i know he's scared cuz he can mention Joe Budden, Ja Rule, Jada, Fat Joe, Game, and whoever he has beef with on his cds but he won't mention no west coast cats specifically Yukmouth or C-BO. 50 snitch knows what da bay and sac have to bring to da roundtable so he rather stay quiet. Unless he wants to lyrically get murdered. He's scared of da bay, dude had so much security when he did a show in da bay that he ran off wit his tail between his legs when he tried to go INTO one of the hoods in Frisco. Check out Thug Lordz mix cd, it came out September 2005. U can get it online at RapBay. It's a follow up on thiz cd but it's not an official C-Bo & Yukmouth cd, BUT it still bringz that west coast cali mobb muzic. Oh BoY!!! Yadamean RIP MAC DRE!!!

Instant Classic.......2005-05-03

I was waiting for this to drop since hearing "Thug Lordz" off the Godzilla LP. This LP is so raw, it's killin' G Units version of hardcore rap. The way Yuk and Bo Loco rhyme in tandem is fierce, though on this LP the vibe is not that same as one of their earlier cuts like "Spray Yourself". Yuks flow has gotten better since then and he has become a savage on the west coast and arguably the underground king of Cali. He still has an unmatched ability to rhyme the same line over and over for half of the verse. This is a style that is often imitated but is never exceuted as cleanly as him. The song "American Dream" is probably one of Yukmouth's top 5 raps ever, he is tearing it down on this cut.
Fans of the Bald Head Nut will be enjoy songs like "44 Mag Glock" "My Life" (a solo cut) and "Hard in the Paint". He has been putting it down for so long he is like the rap version of Ron Isley. I don't think I will ever stop supporting big Bo because he seems to always deliver a strong product. Spiceberg Slim (who shows out on "Killa Kali") was an original member of the Thug Lordz, but he could have ben easily replaced by Killa Tay, who makes a few strong appearances as well. The beats are dope, and I would watch out for that cat Raw Steel who makes a serious impression on production. This duo is more than the sum of its parts. This was a great project. Cop this album as soon as you have the chance

good group album from C-Bo & Yukmouth.......2005-04-16

After many pushbacks and a few compilation albums from these 2, their group album finally dropped. With 13 songs and each has 1 solo, you get a good amount of Bo-Loc and Yuk. Previous songs with these 2 on them were harder then most of the ones on here but you still get a quality album. Overall it has 3 ok songs, 2 I skip and the other 8 are good but it has no classic. Guests are on about half of the songs on the album, and it has another dis track aimed at 50 cent. Production isn't as good as I thought it would be for these 2 west coast vets. Mo Betta does 3 songs, E A Ski, Raw Steele, & Mark Sparks each do 2 songs, and Nan Dog, J Classic , Rhythm D, and Bosko each do 1 songs. As usual you get some gangsta & hustlin' lines from both w/ some lines about flossin (which is mostly all Yuk talks about now). A good album to have for fans of them but many of their solo albums are better then this one.

#1 - 8 (f/ killa tay)
#2 - 8 (f/ killa tay)
#3 - 7 (dirty song)
#4 - 8.5 (f/ bang em smurf & dominatiuon -- disses 50 Cent)

No 1 CAN TOUCH THE BAY.......2006-02-06

THE BAY HAS ALWAYS HAD HEAT ITS JUST THE EAST RUN HIP-HOP B/C THE INDUSTRY IS OUTH THERE AND THEY OWN IT ALOT OF GARBAGE BUBBLE GUM RAP IS MESSING UP THE RAP GAME THATS COMING FROM THE EAST COAST

Best album of 2004.......2005-01-08

You may wonder why I didn't rate this album as 5 stars if it's the best album to come out this year. 2004 was a weak year overall, and even this album had a couple of weaker tracks. But overall, this is West Coast gangsta rap at it's best!! It's a collaboration of two of the biggest names in the West - C-Bo and Yukmouth. The album is nothing but straight up gangsta rap to the fullest. The production is bangin, Yuk and Bo tear the songs up... Killa Tay drops some strong guest appearences, and so do the other (few) rappers featured... You also get a few vicious 50 Cent disses, which is also nice if you're tired of those no-skills-having, rappers-singing-hooks sell-outs!
Overall, like I said, 2004 was quite a dissapointing year, but this collaboration album did not dissapoint at all. It's a great project between two of the West's best rappers, a callobaration of two of the West Coast (REAL) bosses Yukmouth (repping his label Smoke-A-Lot) and C-Bo (West Coast Mafia). I think the best song is Yuk's solo "The American Dream" - it's one of his best songs ever - the beat will blow you away, and Yuk tears the track up. You'll love this album, since both spit nothing but the realest sh** out there!

"Thug Lordz" Review!.......2004-09-06

Rappers from the Bay haven't been getting much love from the industry since Pac died. In all honestly, they could probably care less. Yukmouth, who makes up one-half of The Luniz, could perhaps be the biggest and most talented artist out of Oakland (with the possible exception of E-40), and in his latest effort, a collaboration album with equally-underrated gangsta rapper, C-Bo, he's aiming to knock the haters straight on their back. Pulled from shelves due to legal objections from Yukmouth's label, Rap-A-Lot, "Thugz We Trust" took a minute to make it to the buying public but was it all worth it?

Yuk and Bo certainly aren't afraid to showcase their gangsta on this one. Opening with the vicious "Go Hard In The Paint" and closing with the equally-ruthless "21 Gun Salute", this album is a collection of 13 thugged-out joints. For the most part, anyone who is not a solid fan of gangsta rap might be bored quickly with this album's content but it does have some moments of crossover appeal. The catchy chorus on "She's A H**" keeps it from being just another predictable tale about "the homeboy's easy girl". The biggest standout however is "Bulletproof Love" featuring Death Row artist Eastwood. Not only does each artist come with a solid verse but the production from Rhythm D is bonkers. "Killa Cali" with guest star Spice 1 is also a pretty good addition. The standard issue diss record, "He Ain't A Thug" has Yuk & Bo going at 50 Cent with a little help from 50's old running mates, Bang 'Em Smurf and the Silverback Guerillaz. The chorus is hilarious though the disses themself are somewhat generic.

Depending on your taste, this album could either be a massive letdown or the album you've been waiting on. If you're a hardcore gangsta rap fan who is sick of the "commercial garbage" then this one should be your cup of tea. Anyone expecting Yukmouth to tackle subject matter similiar to his solo debut, "Thugged Out" may be a little dissapointed. "In Thugs We Trust" is nowhere near a classic album but it never tries to be. It wasn't made for the critics. It was made so that West Coast rap fans would have something loud to bump in their rides and on that level, you can't call it anything but a success.

BEST GANGSTA RAP CD EVER.......2004-07-08

Yukmouth and C-Bo are awesome together. The beats are great on every song. Listen to this CD straight through and enjoy every song. They bust on 50 Cent for being a snitch. They really know how to rap (especially Yuk). My favorite songs are 10. Made Men, 12. Flip Her, 6. Get Away, 5. .....ah I like every song. Later - GET THIS CD

keepin the realest on the west coast!.......2004-05-19

this cd is very rare, due to the fact that most of the units were pulled from the shelves almost immediatly after the release.this is apparently due to some sort of lawsuit, possibly over the use of 50 cents' name(they really lay into him, he deserves it anyway).besides all that, this cd is easily the best of the year(so far), i never expected an album from 2004 to have such thumpin, original beats.

songs like "he aint a thug"(50 dissin), "killa kali"(feat. spice 1!), "bulletproof love"(catchy hook), and "my life"(cbo solo) make this cd worth much more than you'll end up paying for it(i paid 45....worth every cent)
