Following the impressive success of Smashing Pumpkins, Liz Phair, and Urge Overkill, the major labels descended on Chicago and scooped up several deserving younger bands, including Midwestern shoegazers Catherine. The quintet's first album, Sorry, is an enticing mix of swirling guitars, driving rhythms, and lilting vocal harmonies. Yes, they sound a bit like the Pumpkins, but bandleader Neil Jendon has a better sense of humor than his mentor Billy Corgan, as evidenced by the band's motto ("Better living through noise") and the album's killer cover of the Bee Gees' ditty, "Every Christian Lion Hearted Man Will Show You." --Jim DeRogatis

"How about a bad title?" wonders Spencer Kayden's Little Sally in "Too Much Exposition." "That could kill a show pretty good." It's a tribute to the skill deployed by the Urinetown creative team (Mark Hollman, music and lyrics; Greg Kotis, book and lyrics) that its title doesn't kill the show. Set in a near-future in which water depletion has led to a ban on private toilets, this may be the only musical in history in which one of the leads makes a fortune on pee. But the show (which originated Off-Broadway before graduating to the big league) limits its subversive intent to subject matter and is refreshingly classic in approach and structure--think Weill-meets-Lewis Carroll. Backed by a small ensemble, the cast (with John Cullum in a turn nothing short of brilliant as the evil urinal magnate) has a field day with Kotis and Hollman's frequently hilarious score. --Elisabeth Vincentelli

5 out of 5 stars An Amazing Find.......2007-04-03

I just recently discovered this gem of a musical. It's a stand out show with a unique touch. If heard a few outside musicals (The Rocky Horror Show, Hedwig and the Angry Inch...) but this one stands out from them. The music is amazing, the lyrics are creative, and the humor is ripe.

With a chamber music-esque overture, the tone is set. 'Too Much Exposition' is a great introduction to Urinetown (the musical). Officer Lockstock addresses the audience about what they should expect from the show. Little Sally wants to let the audience in on the water shortage but Lockstock stops her. ("You're too young to understand it now, but nothing can kill a show like too much exposition." "How 'bout bad subject matter? Or a bad title, even? That could kill a show pretty good.")

I've read what others have written: you don't get the whole humor of the show unless you've seen it. I haven't seen it, but this recording is enough to get me see it. (That is, if a production nearby, even a high school production, is put on.)

The songs that I find myself listening to over and over are:

Too Much Exposition (not really a song, but still...)
Urinetown
It's A Privilage to Pee
Mr. Cladwell (a wonderfully sweet villain song)
Cop Song (a wonderfully fun villain song)
Follow Your Heart
Don't Be the Bunny
Act 1 Finale
What Is Urinetown?
Run, Freedome, Run!
Why Did I Listen to That Man?
We're Not Sorry (a great 20's sound, reminds me of 'Chicago')
I See A River (I really love this song... the feeling gotten across, before Lockstock comes out to comment, is 'Oh, everything is going to be okay', but Lockstock informs us that all is NOT well)

With a cry of "Hail Mathus!" the show ends. I just have to listen again, after making a trip to the bathroom.

5 out of 5 stars Urinetown the Musical.......2007-03-10

This CD has all the songs from the show. The show is great and this rendition is about the best.

3 out of 5 stars Not for Everyone.......2006-12-28

This musical is a great piece for the 21st century no doubt, that being said it takes some getting used to. The musical cannot be taken at face value, there are lots of things happening under the surface and it takes some bites at things musical theater doesn't usually take, like itself. On the surface it is strange, and not really something people would listen to over and over. However, once you figure it out, it's fun to listen to it again to find all the things that are really going on. It is very funny, and says some good things about the current state of the world. For musical theater fans this is questionable, if you just like the toe-tapping happy go lucky feel, this isn't it. But if you like the social commentary that goes along with that toe tapping, this is a must. NOT FOR FIRST TIME BROADWAY LISTNERS. Favorite Song: "Look at the Sky"

5 out of 5 stars "DON'T BE THE BUNNY!".......2006-12-04

My son, a high school senior, told me his first show of this year's theatrical season was going to be "Urinetown". My response was something like ... No, really, what shows are you doing this year? Then he brought home a recording of it, and I was hooked right away by the lyrics. Over the years my son has been involved in many performances, but he and the rest of the cast had a real blast preparing for, and performing, this show! He wanted Lockstock, but was cast as Cladwell ... Owned it ... Loved it!
I am no Broadway expert by any stretch of the definition, but this show is wonderfully entertaining! You will see (and hear) snippets from other shows, you will pick up on some of even the more subtle stabs at musicals as a whole, you will groan, you will laugh and you will enjoy ... But only if you try not to take it too seriously.
Get past the title (in this case I certainly think it did not "...kill a show pretty good"), relax, and be entertained. And for goodness sake, if you have a chance to see it performed live, do so! A musical that pokes fun at itself? Yes, a refreshing departure from the norm, and worth the price of admission.

5 out of 5 stars Now my favorite CD, EVER!.......2006-10-03

After reading Urinetown (never having seen it), I wondered what on earth it sounded like. Most of the book is just lyrics, and I had no idea what they sounded like. When I finally listened to the music, I found an incredibly complex, catchy, and moving CD.

The music isn't so much complex as it is creative and works with the lyrics. Keep in mind this is a comedy, but this comedy does have soaring melodies and very great simulataneous singing moments (I can't remember what that is specifically called, but think of "Tonight Reprise" from West Side Story). These songs not only entertained me, it moved the story along.

My favorite song is "Why Did I Listen to that Man?" as it is the song where everything comes together and reaches the climax (both in story-line and musically). However, I have a soft spot for every Cladwell song (and I haven't found a person yet who doesn't love "Don't Be the Bunny) as well as every song. What's best about this musical is the range of genres (but not so much as one would find in Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat).

The cast is truly talented and can perform these songs. It's a very strong recording for what I feel (after finally getting to see it) is the best contemporary musical to date. Not only will your sides split, but you'll learn something too. Best of all, it's a musical for everyone. Unlike other equally hilarious comedies (*cough*The Producers*cough*), Urinetown never relies on "unappropriate" and "adult" material to deliver laughs, although you will have to get over the "really awful title."

4 out of 5 stars Very pleased.......2007-06-10

I wasn't sure what to expect when I bought this CD. True, I could have listened on line before buying but that would have taken the fun out of the purchase. Besides, I really didn't care for the CD the first couple of times I listened but now I really love it. It's not something to listen to all the time but given the right circumstances e.g. a small gathering of friends, it's perfect. If I'd listened to online, I wouldn't have purchased it.

5 out of 5 stars Sumptuous and mellow.......2002-11-28

The six men of the King's Singers present sweet and light-hearted madrigals of such English composers as Morley, Weelkes, Dowland, Wilbye and Byrd. The thirty five selections include "Now is the Month of Maying", "Though Philomela Lost Her Love", "Sing We and Chant It," the celebration of tobacco entitled "Come, Sirrah Jack, Ho!" and a host of other fa-la-la-la-la venues interspersed with wistful laments. I love the rich, sonorous sound of a male vocal ensemble, with countertenors, tenor, baritones and bass, and these six singers do a great job. Occasional instrumental accompaniments by lute and tabor are included, but this group doesn't really need it--I could listen to them for hours all by themselves. Also quite enjoyable, as well as educational, is their earlier release, "The King's Singers' Madrigal History Tour: Italy, England, France, Spain and Germany". For a more risque' take on the vocal music of Renaissance England, you might get a kick out of "The Art of the Bawdy Song" by the Baltimore Consort with the Merry Companions.

5 out of 5 stars One of the Best Collections of English Madrigals.......2002-03-27

Any fan of the King's Singers will regret not having this album in their collection.

This album offers a veritable feast of the choicest English madrigals found on any comparable album. From the obligatory "Now is the Month of Maying" and "Fair Phyllis" to the more obscure "Tan ta ra, cries Mars," there is certainly enough on this album to bring a smile to lovers of Renaissance music - and a spark of recognition to anyone who sang traditional madrigals in high school or university. For serious students of early music, this album comes very highly recommended.

Among the more sonorous offerings on this album, Jones' "Farewell, Dear Love" and Dowland's "Come Again," cannot be ignored. Nor can Bennet's immortal "Weep O mine eyes" be matched more musically than here by the King's Singers.

This album has been played again and again for almost 6 years as both serious listening and background working music. And it has yet to lose its delight.

4 out of 5 stars A Delightful Collection of English Madrigal.......2000-08-16

With 35 tracts to enjoy you're sure to find a couple of favorites. I gave this CD 4 of 5 stars compared to 5 stars for the King's Singers World Madrigal Tour CD. If you prefer all your songs in English, this will be your 5 star CD. Tract 32 "Come again" is my favorite due to the surperb tenor lead and melodic development. Compared to many polyphonic early music styles (1300s-1485), this era (1500-1610) provides many memorable melodies.

4 out of 5 stars A wide variety.......2000-04-28

This is an excellent sampling of English madrigals. This presentation, given by an older roster of the Singers, is a nice introduction to the world of the madrigal, and English madrigals in particular.

5 out of 5 stars Life and Death On The Great White Way.......2007-06-24

Bob Fosse's 1979 ALL THAT JAZZ is perhaps most famous for the extreme reaction it provokes: you either love it or you hate it. There is no middle ground.

Joe Gideon (Roy Scheider) is a celebrated stage and film director famous for creating dance numbers with a super sexy style--and truly chaotic professional and personal life. Even as he edits a film he has recently directed, he begins rehearsals for a new Broadway show. Even as he duels with his acidic show-biz ex-wife over the needs of their daughter, he cheats on his girl friend with any lovely chorus girl who wants to fall across his bed. He goes from crisis to crisis in a round of late nights fueled by nicotine, caffine, alcohol, and drugs--and he loves every ego-gratifying moment of it. What he does not love is the heart attack he has in the middle of it all.

What divides viewers is not so much the plot as the overall style of the film. Like Joe Gideon, Bob Fosse (1927-1987) was most famous for his musicals, which were often akin to beautiful but distinctly dark hallucinations of super-stylized motion showing lots of skin. With ALL THAT JAZZ, Fosse takes his unique, highly surrealistic musical style and combines it with the similarly surrealistic approach of such master directors as Fellini. The result is a film that shifts between past, present, and future with glittering musical numbers that leap from the mind of Gideon himself to make wry comment on his egocentric madness--and in which beautiful show girls become the personification of death.

As Joe Gideon, Roy Scheider (perhaps best known for his tough-cop role in THE FRENCH CONNECTION) truly gives the performance of his career; he is amazing in the role of the driven, egocentric director/choreographer who will stop at nothing to pursue his desires, professional or otherwise. The film also gives us two performers who rarely appear on screen: Leland Palmer as Gideon's ex-wife Audrey Paris (a role based on Gwen Verdon) and Ann Rhineking as Gideon's long-suffering dancer-girlfried Kate Jagger (a role, ironically, based on herself.) Both prove extremely memorable--as does Ben Vereen, a performer I do not usually like, appearing here in as the emcee of Gideon's final and most memorable hallucination.

The cinematography by Giuseppe Rotunno is sharp, clean, disquieting, and manages to convey the New York of the late 1970s in remarkable detail; the editing by Alan Heim (who also worked on such memorable films as NETWORK and STAR 80) is also memorable. Indeed, be it lighting, costumes, casting, or overall art design it is virtually impossible to fault the film at any level. Even so--ALL THAT JAZZ remains as likely to divide viewers today as it did in 1979. Movie musicals have changed a great deal over the past decade or so, but ALL THAT JAZZ remains a unique offering. You either get it or you don't; you either like it or you hate it.

There are at least two DVDs on the market. One is a no-frills edition with a good transfer; the other offers several bells and whistles that fans of the film will enjoy. Recommended in either version.

5 out of 5 stars Fantastic!.......2007-06-18

A Fosse lovers must see. I was up for the main group of dancers for this movie oh so many years ago. I remember what I wore to the audition. We all showed up at the St. James theatre in NYC even though there was no audition notice in the trades and no announcement. I remember Fosse coming on the stage and laughing saying "how the hell did you all know about this...?" Well, word of mouth among the gypsies, that's how! He had already chosen his dancers but he liked to see what was around just in case. I was always called back and got to the last call back. Too bad right! Well the rest is history...get this dvd, it is a piece of history and a kind of dance, director, choreographer and discipline that no longer exists. SO sad!

4 out of 5 stars Well executed, entertaining, musical.......2007-03-25

The film is appearantly a loose auto-biographical account of the film's director Bob Fosse (Cabaret, Chicago, Star 80). A scrutinizing look at obsession leading to self destruction and finally the transference of pain to others. The film has too many technical high points to mention. Choreography goes without mention and has been mimicked by modern artists, sometimes blatantly. The screenplay is complex enough to be interesting but remains in the realm of 'easily digestible.'

5 out of 5 stars Eclectic Mix.......2007-02-24

Since I adore the movie, I can't help but love the soundtrack to All That Jazz. I'm not sure this CD would move every listener as it does me, but I see every scene as I listen and can't help but dance along now and then. Like the movie, this soundtrack is bittersweet and very raw in some places, cheeky and sentimental in others. For a Fosse junkie like me, it's a must have.

5 out of 5 stars "Bye, bye love"...........2007-02-09

Loved the DVD and this CD is just as entertaining. George Benson oozes showmanship so much so that it comes across just listening. "On Broadway and Bye bye love" are the stand out's.

This is the BEST song from Confessions On A Dance Floor and one of the best songs ever! (in my opinion, anyway! =)
1. (Single Edit) The single edit was basically just the original without the 3 "I heard it all before"s at the end)

2. (Man With Guitar Edit) My FAVORITE version of Sorry, hands down. It is also one of my favorite songs. It's just so beautiful! I have the full length mix, too. (iTunes)

3. (PSB Maxi-Mix) I LOVE the Pet Shop Boys! This sounds just like one of they're awesome songs!

4. (Paul Okenfold Remix) This one's okay overall, but it kinda bores me a little. But Paul Oakenfold is still one of my faves! (Next to Madonna, Peter Rauhofer, Cher, ATB, Kaskade, and Almighty!)

5. (Green Velvet Remix) No offense or anything, but Green Velvet sucks--bad.

6. Let It Will Be (Paper Faces Vocal Edit) OMG!!! My FAVORITE SONG EVER!!!! AMAZING!!!

YOU HAVE TO BUY IT!!!!!!

3 out of 5 stars Interesting tracks but craptacular recording quality.......2007-01-12

I am a big fan of the tracks on this disc as far a cheesy dance goes, but the levels are all out of whack. There is clipping in a few of the tracks that make the disc pretty unbearable. Its kind of sad because the even the vinyl version has the same recording issues. I was hoping the CD would be better.

5 out of 5 stars Pet Shop Boys Mix is the Best.......2007-01-11

Finally, Madonna let Pet Shop Boys mix one of her songs! I hope that the collaboration extends to other projects. This is a "MUST HAVE" for Pet Shop Boys fans.

4 out of 5 stars another great dance track from the Queen.......2006-10-11

This was the logical follow-up single to Hung Up. Another great beat from the Dancing Queen. I hear this and I'm on my feet in an instant. The mixes are not bad for this song, some are better than others of course. I think the Pet Shop Boys mix is probably the best.

5 out of 5 stars please don't say you're sorry.......2006-07-25

sorry is not the best song on Confessions, it's How High, but it was an obvious pick for a second single.

i feel sad about the video, it's just a copy of Hung Up, knock off that mirrorball pink-knickers stuff already and do something different, get together video is even worse, i can't believe it, Madge used to make the most memorable videos all the time, now what?

the remixes are fortunately very good (far better than the Hung Up mixes) this time. almost a Hollywood quality.

the pet shop boys remix was the one i was most interested in, it however turned out to be my least favourite one, Tennant must have vocaled more, apart from a retro feeling this remix doesn't provide anything, dissapointing especially compared to the freshness of the PSB material Fundamental. Paul Oakenfold on the other hand does a great job after his not so inspired work on Hollywood, his sorry mix exclude most of the vocals while circulating the heard it all before part almost all thru the song, it doesn't get boring, believe me, it's nice. the green velvet mix is a dirtier approach, without the modulated madonna voice (thx God). the Man with Guitar mix done by Price, is my favourite it shows similarities with daft punk's robot rock, which i LOVE, but i think that average fans won't like this one. the paper faces mix for LIWB (again done by Price) is way better than the original, it's very dark and stylish, even when i like the album version as well, it's so refreshing that price dares to lift these positively pop-junk songs onto a more underground level.

4 out of 5 stars Wonderful songs.......2003-02-07

If you're a Sondheim ballad fan, this a must-have. While there are a few renditions that aren't great (Not a Day Goes By is way overdone), the selections from Follies sung by Barbara Cook are outstanding. The Cleo Laine version of "Send in the Clowns" is lovely and Stephen Collins does an amazing good job on "Sorry-Grateful" from Company. Still, it's the Follies songs that truly shine!
Congratulations...I'm Sorry

4 out of 5 stars Seems Like a Century Ago Instead of a Decade.......2007-06-14

I'm converting all my CDs to computer and selling off the CDs. Somebody just bought this one and I listened to it while ripping and, though it's only a decade old, the guitars, harmonies and tired, as in physically, yearning vocals make the GBs sound like something out of the early sixties. I actually liked it better on this hearing than the last time I played it -- and that's been years. Highlights: Day Job, My Car, I Can't Figure You Out, and Competition Smile.

3 out of 5 stars Decent second album (3.5 stars).......2006-12-30

The Gin Blossoms released their second album, Congratulations...I'm Sorry, in 1996. This was made during a troubling time for the band as they not only had to follow up their very successful debut, New Miserable Experience, but they also had to do this without one of their chief songwriters, guitarist Doug Hopkins, who was dismissed from the band and would later commit suicide. Their first single, the catchy "Follow You Down", along with the non-album track, "Until I Hear It from You", showed promise as it became a double-sided Top 10 hit. Unfortunately, the album is a bit of a disappointment as it plays like a collection of decent to very good songs that don't grab your attention, even after repeated listenings.

The album starts out strong as "Day Job" is a great rocker while "Highwire" and the aforementioned "Follow You Down" are both very good. After this, the album is solid but not spectacular with the best tracks being "Virginia", "I Can't Figure You Out", and the pretty ballad "As Long As It Matters." Other tracks like "My Car", "Perfectly Still", "Competition Smile", and "Not Only Numb" are decent but don't contain the hooks or the passion that made New Miserable Experience so great. All told, while there's nothing bad on Congratulations...I'm Sorry, only the first three songs are on the level of their debut. The band's latest release, Major Lodge Victory, is a return to form as the catchy melodies from their heyday return.

5 out of 5 stars Solid Album from a Solid Band.......2006-06-05


I'm probably what you'd call a casual fan of Gin Blossoms. I have their two major-label '90s releases ("Congratulations..." and "New Miserable...") but didn't know they had lost one of their founding members BEFORE Congratulations was released. I don't see major differences in the "GB sound" or quality at_all b/w these two discs. Both are favorites in my listening rotation.

These guys have a lively, engaging, upbeat sound. Fans of early-to-mid R.E.M. and other "jangly alt rock" have an incomplete music collection if they don't have GB's stuff. I'd talk about individual tracks, but it wouldn't matter as every track on this album grabs you both lyrically and musically. It's just THAT good.

In case you're interested in more GB, they are now reunited and touring (Summer '06) with a NEW ALBUM called "Major Lodge Victory" slated for release 8/8/06.

3 out of 5 stars A mediocre attempt........2006-06-02

This CD was just OK for me. Best song on here is "Follow You Down", one of my fave GB songs. For the most part, the rest of it lacked that great pop sound that they were known for. Songs were not memorable & I would not recommend this one. Get their greatest hits CD, that one is terrific.

4 out of 5 stars A Marriage Only The Gin Blossoms Could Make.......2004-06-25

In spite of what the "critics" have said about Congradulations...I'm Sorry, I think it's a fine CD. The marriage of country music on Memphis Time was nothing short of brilliant (even though I don't care for Country Music). While the CD may not have been as widely successful as Miserable New Experience, the boys from Tempe, Az still put together a superior effort...

The Replacements' 1981 debut, like the Stink EP that came on its heels, is laden with hardcore punk that was the flavor in underground rock of the time, albeit of a customized strain. Oddly enough, that sense of compromise is the source of the charm to both early Mats titles. The Minneapolis quartet play fast and loose here but aren't inclined to display the discipline the leading lights of the movement boasted. Raggedness and humor are their fortes. One can almost picture Paul Westerberg smirking a bit at the sanctioned snotty sentiments he's voicing. "I hate music!" he bellows in the song of the same name, only to add cheekily, "Got too many notes." "Customer," too, undermines pure-punk ethos with wisecracks. Though he more often writes screeds than actual songs, Westerberg's burgeoning skills nevertheless surface in "Johnny's Gonna Die," "Shiftless When Idle," and "I'm in Trouble." Sorry Ma isn't necessarily a superior punk album, but it's an exceedingly likable one. --Steven Stolder

5 out of 5 stars Still one of my favorite Replacements CDs.......2006-05-31

When I was in high school, I bought this as a tape first and I couldn't stop listening to it. It was hardcore and fast enough to pump the adreneline but it had enough hooks and great songs (even great lyrics if you can hear them sung very very fast) to distinguish it from the skater punk crap which always played the same couple of chords in the same deadly dull rotation with the same vocalist (can't call him a singer) trying to sound tough. "Taking a Ride", "Something to Do" and "Hanging Downtown" were those tracks that spoke to me in a way that only Holden Caulfield could otherwise (yeah I didn't realize that I was a little stereotypical in the teenager department - I also wore my hair long and greasy and refused to cut it until after Freshman year in college. Oh shut up.)

Obviously this is not your usual Replacements album, and the flashes of craftsmanship that would start with Hootenanny were not yet formed. But it's great on its own merits. So much so, that I spent years claiming that this was the only decent Replacements album before a stultifying descent into dullness (well that one with the sheep was pretty bland.) So maybe this should be your first Mats album and maybe you should be 15 to love it like I did, but it's still a great album. And the songs are some of the best crafted pieces of music in punk history.

2 out of 5 stars sorry fans, forgot to take out the trash.......2004-12-02

Yes, I am glad there are a few good reviews here that slate this weak lp.
The thing you have to know about 'westerberg' (lead singer of this band) is that he has these die hard followers who love everything he has done (and does now-worse) full stop. I'm sure there are some that say they are only replacements fans, but then they probably love everything that the replacements have done.
This album is practically ready for the bin.
Bar about three tracks out of twenty- It always sucked (and I got it in the peak of my replacements listening/loving days)- it is never hardcore, just unlistenable.
Want hardcore, get 'husker du - new day rising' or 'Stink' by replacements' or even indeed, like some other good fellow said 'Tim' and then 'Let it be' by this band - they are the two best.

You have careless/johnny's gonna die/shiftless when I'm idle and maybe 'takin a ride' too (notice these are the ones that other anti 'sorry ma' revierwers picked) - they are the only half decent tracks on this.
It's a very weak record from production to playing (but most of all, westerberg ruins it with his hideous vocals on the most of the stuff.
I really just would'nt bother pal. It'll be one to throw away, or worse give away to some other poor soul who won't understand.

This band went major label and really changed in a good way-showing a new and incredible side to themselves after 'let it be', unlike a band like husker du - who became anti-political and began talking rubbish after they left for warner.
Lucky to get two stars.

5 out of 5 stars Poineers of garage sound / 1 of the greatest albums.......2004-04-14

This band defined garage fast & hard, shun the mainstream sound. This 1st album is probably my favorite Mats album but I like them all. This cd is one of those rare albums where you will not skip a track on this. Every song is appealing in it's own way. The guitar riffs are sketchy but thats the beauty of this album it's so raw and unpolished. I have to say this album is their most Punk sounding. It came out in 1981 so far from the New Wave that was on the airwaves. Westerburg's voice goes right through you. I can't possibly list standout tracks because like I said every song is good. But "Customer" is a funny tune, opening track "Taking a ride" such a catchy song, "Kick your door down" great chorus track."Shiftless when Idle, "I hate Music" such a Punk Rock tune. If you truly like real garage/punk sound this album is essential to collection. This CD is in my top 5 of all time.

5 out of 5 stars A Classic Post-Punk Text.......2004-04-11

When this came out, Rolling Stone took a moment to turn away fromarticles about Jann Weiner's 60's party pals to give this amazing disc three of five stars, asking "Who knows if they'll make any more albums? And who cares?" The Replacements went on to become a booze soaked sonic legend. And now people only read Rolling Stone to ogle the cover phots of Britney Spears.
It's all there in "Sorry Ma" -- the hooks, the clever lyrics, the Westbergian angst, long before it turned into post-Replacements self-pity and general crappiness. With the rest of the band (fueled by the late flamethower lead guitarmaster Bob Stinson) compelling him to rock, Paul did. And how.
They took punk and made it relevant to suburban kids who didn't feel like dressing all in black -- "Customer" has more truth in its 68 seconds than a crateful of "real" punk. "Kick Your Door" down is a straight ahead rocker that hits you in the gut; "Shiftless When Idle" is a powerpop marvel. "I Hate Music" is a sonic declaration of war on pretense. The only weakness is "Johnny's Gonna Die," lauded by most, but actually embodying Paul's worst musical instincts. The rest of the band propbably let it in in exchange for Paul kicking butt on the rest of the album.
You cannot understand or experience American post-punk pop without "Sorry Ma..." Rolling Stone be damned.

5 out of 5 stars Anyway I Ain't Got Noplace Else To Go.......2004-02-09

I'm (ironically, I guess) replacing this with a new copy for the third time. It's crude, it's rough, it's loud, it's obnoxious, it's funny and it's great. This release and "Hootenanny" are wonderfully Midwestern surly snot-faced kid-like and I could not live without them. They have defined what this sound is/was and possibly always will be. It's as close as you'll ever get to what an early live Replacement's gig was like. I suppose if you weren't around when they were fresh and new it may sound a little....no...wait a minute....that's not true....I cannot stoop to any kind of mealy-mouthed defensiveness. This album is great. Not charming. Not friendly. Not just a display of Westerberg's burgeoning songwriting talents. It's great all by itself. I proudly know the lyrics (such as they are) to all the songs and I will spit them out with vigor until the day I die. It's unbridled, undisciplined and unruly. You know....PUNK.

5 out of 5 stars Tim Wilson is HILARIOUS.......2006-02-04

Tim Wilson is one of the funniest comedians around. Folks from the North may not get every joke, or may in fact believe that every joke is the way all southern people really are. No matter, one should not be miss out on the hilarity of Tim Wilson.

It's even more hilarious that a 14-year-old was defending Marilyn Manson in a review below. I think that proved Tim's point nicely.

5 out of 5 stars Great Album.......2005-05-30

I love this guy, I'm glad he put down Manson, Manson does sux and is a freak. Keep up the good work Tim.

1 out of 5 stars "Marilyn Manson".......2005-01-06

Tim Wilson is a pathetic excuse for a comedian. If he thinks that disrespecting Brian Warner (Marilyn Manson) is a good idea, then he is sadly mistaken. Frankly, I am surprised that an angry mob of Manson fans haven't yet lit this man's house on fire. But of course, Mr. Wilson isn't anywhere near popular enough to be known amongst Manson fans. I am certain that his existance is only acknowledged by those who accidently stumble upon his name as a friend of mine did. He informed me of Mr. Wilsons extremely stupid, pointless, and disrespectful 'bit' and I was quite unpleased. Personally, I think that we should blow off Mr. Wilsons head and see if it grows back, thank you Mr. Omega Muerte for that wonderful idea. Marilyn Manson is by far a more talented artist than Tim Wilson will ever be, and if he produces any more recordings that are that disrespectful to Mr. Manson, then he will be hearing from me. And I warn you, it will not be pretty. -Courtney M Rivera, 14.-

4 out of 5 stars ANOTHER HITS ENTRY WITH A DIFFERENCE.......2006-05-22

According to a music selling magazine this CD is #24 in their top 40 best selling CDs--and they offer thousands of CDs for sale. Quite an accomplishment. This is due in part that not all the songs are Connie's standard hits but various tunes she recorded over a decade and a half including a sophisticated "Walk On By" brilliantly performed. There are other suprises for those who are not terribly familiar with the availability of her catalogue. This is a nice UK entry. Clean sounding with a nicely chosen selection of songs. It's quite evident that the UK still holds Ms. Francis in high regard as do other forgeign lands. Now if her own country had the same respect, we might see some nice CD releases here.

4 out of 5 stars These are the original recordings.......2005-02-17

i hesitated for a good while before purchasing this particular hits collection because, as i learned the hard way, there are quite a few hits collections by various artists that are not what they appear to be. in this case i had purchased another connie francis greatest hits package several months ago. much to my disappointment the songs were not the original recordings--ms. francis had gone back into the studio and re-recorded the songs. not to say that she and the producers didn't do a great job. the new recordings were quite good and connie's voice is still remarkable. but i grew up in the 50s and 60s and used to hear these songs on the radio so, naturally, i wanted to hear the songs just as i remembered them.

well, this collection delivers! the songs ARE the originals and the remastering is great. i now no longer have to look for another connie francis hits collection. i would have given the rating a full five stars, but i am giving it 4.5 because there is still room on the CD for a few more songs and because i feel that including "walk on by" was a mistake. i don't know. maybe it was a hit by connie somewhere, but i don't recall it and, to be perfectly honest but meaning no disrespect to the artist, this version is, well, i'll just say "not up to par" and leave it at that.

5 out of 5 stars Brilliant classics from Connie Francis........2003-06-18

This is a brilliant CD from Connie Francis. Every song is a blast from the past and as they were recorded years ago. With so many of Connies CD on sale it was not easy to know which one I would enjoy as I wanted the songs to be as she had recored them all that time ago,however I chose this one and I am very pleased with it. A must for all Connie Francis fans.

These guys had me from the first note of the first song, "How Does It Feel." The tunes flow easily from the group. Hooks are everywhere, especially on the above track and "I Don't Want to Be Here Now." When a major label picks these guys up I'll be able to say, "Told you so." Plus, they're just nice guys. I can't wait for the new record.

5 out of 5 stars WOW.......1999-05-08

Great great album, rural pop? call what you want, I call it good. To bad the morons in the band had to ruin their chemistry with the "release" of Drummer Shawn Lynch. The next album will not hold up, but I will always have this one.

5 out of 5 stars Lou Ford has deep roots but is not held down by them........1998-08-05

Lou Ford has roots that run deep, but they refuse to be held down by them. Their debut album, ÒSad but FamiliarÓ echoes the soulful mourning of Hank Williams with the biting harmonies of Neil Young, yet surrounds you in a vibrant, new musical world. Lou FordÕs music is not a retrospective pastiche, but is alive with originality both in tone and word. The lyrics enchant with wit understated by plain language and rural flair. The music and lyrics blend mesmerizingly; mingling angst and ennui with rural idealism. To listen to Lou Ford is to take an emotional road trip through the past with tomorrow square on the horizon. Lou Ford is a group of four genuine and hard-working guys committed to innovation and musical excellence as well as preserving the traditions of american music. Any serious music lover will want to check out ÒSad but FamiliarÓ as well as look for Lou Ford on stage in Charlotte, NC and around the southeast.
