Canadian singer Leslie Feist has served as a guest vocalist for Norwegian folkies Kings of Convenience, Toronto power-pop troupe Broken Social Scene, and - under the frightening moniker "Bitch Lap-Lap" - the hairy female rapper Peaches. But her unruly resume hardly prepares you for the emotionally rich, softy sensual music on her major label debut. Moving from tortured torch songs such as "Lonely Lonely" to pulsating originals like "Mushaboom," it also contains stunning remakes of Ron Sexsmith's "Secret Heart" and the Bee Gees' "Inside and Out," tunes Feist not only makes her own but effectively uses to dissect her romantic desolation. "Don't you wish we could forget that kiss?" she smolders on the title track. Not in this lifetime. --Aidin Vaziri

Customer Reviews:

Hmmm, go back to Broken Social Scene and let this siht die, please.......2007-07-10

Fiest runs the gamut of musical styles from A to B on this record, from soul (ish) vocals to Norah Jones-like musings to out and out disco which was bad enough the first time - may the BeeGees rot in hell. I guess it's ok if you're an "indie" artist to regurgitate past musical styles that weren't too good to begin with and add a few electronic flourishes so you won't be accused of being too too retro and then add some dishpan shallow boy/girl lyrics and voila - pop genius! Fieist manages to be both sultry and sucky at the same time. Well at least all I lost was time having downloaded it, listened to it twice and deleted it. Not my bag, dad.

Another great album.......2007-07-06

I only found out about Leslie Feist in an LA Times article in early July 2007, and bought a couple discs on a lark. Good investment. This lady is gonna go far. A less mature work than The Reminder but very high-quality work.

Two stand out songs.......2007-06-18

I would rate the songs I like at 5 stars each but can't rate the cd any higher than a 3 since there are only two period. Her voice is sweet and velvety but I just don't play it that much.

Delicately Beautiful.......2007-06-12

There is one particular word for describing the sound of Feist.

Refreshing.

This '05 debut album for Feist is crisp, clear, and melodious. Right from the moment "Gatekeeper" grabs your attention you're hooked, and glad to be so. It's hard to place Feist into any one category of music. She makes me think of a possible Norah Jones wrapped in a modern shell of jazzy, loungy, and slightly Indie influences. Like nothing you've ever heard, certainly not in the last few years. Her more recent album, The Reminder, is capturing most of the attention of listeners right now and rightfully so, but this work is not to be forgotten. For a debut solo album, Let It Die seems to lack no maturity, and to think that it was recorded in a mere week amid her many international tours of '05! These songs show no hint of being mindlessly crammed onto a record ready for the shelves. In fact, it shows no haste at all. Simply the most relaxing music, but not to the point that it's short on pop, albeit in a very subtle way.

"Mushaboom" picks up the pace followed by worthy-of-flagship-status "Let It Die". All of the next three tracks are gold when you arrive at the strange tale of "When I Was a Young Girl" to which there is nothing I can compare it to except maybe Norah Jones' "Sinkin' Soon". "Secret Heart" is a fun little inquiring kind of tune with nice subtle vocals. Now we come to the place that the critics really rave about here. Feist's remake of one of my favorite Bee Gees songs "Inside and Out" is killer. The Bee Gees did such an original good job on it that its tough to say this one's better, but its close. Alot jazzier to boot. After you finish jivin' out, you arrive at unexpected "Tout Doucement". Feist's surrounding influences shine out in this jaunty little tune, so jaunty that you feel like you're strolling down a sunny avenue in Paris one morning on your way to a little cafe. Afterall, it was recorded in Paris. This charming tune will tell you that. Last we have "Now At Last", suitable but certainly not least. Of all the songs on this album it seems that this one above all others was made for Feist. Simple, delicate, and just really nice.

You simply must check out this one of a kind CD, certainly one of the best of '05. Enjoy

Time to Let it Die.......2007-05-18

I read that Feist was a sort of Norah Jones on steroids. I like Norah Jones but I'm not crazy about Norah Jones. I wanted originality. I wanted a jazz singer with a little more punch than Norah Jones. After making it through the first 8 tracks of Let It Die, I did. Feist needs steroids. Her voice is weak. There's a sexy breathless style common these days and then there's "I have no lung capacity". Feist seems the latter. Steroids could help.

Sorry, I didn't like it. The sound quality is poor which may contribute to the artist's poor performance. 2 stars because it's different and different is good. I don't think things will get better in future releases because the talent doesn't burst through. There's talent in her but not in the quantity to smash into your CD "Top Played" list.

More of a happy-go-lucky artist in his younger days, Tim McGraw here sounds as if he carries the weight of the world on his shoulders. After the comparatively lighthearted, irresistibly catchy opening single, "Last Dollar (Fly Away)," most of the midtempo material that follows ranges from the somber to the morose. There's the night-shift weariness of "I'm Workin'," the alcohol-drenched heartbreak of "Whiskey and You," and the soul-tortured title track. Even a song with the upbeat title "Put Your Lovin' on Me" has McGraw asking his lover to "be my drug" and "take this weight off me." Things turn positively lethal with "Between the River and Me," the story of revenge on an alcoholic, wife-beating stepfather. The set also features the obligatory duet of marital devotion with Faith Hill ("I Need You") and a couple of nods toward classic country ("Kristofferson" and the closing "Shotgun Rider," which could be McGraw's "Mamas, Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up to Be Cowboys"). "Nothin' to Die For" returns to the inspirational vein of "Live Like You Were Dying," but little here finds McGraw in a feel-good mode. --Don McLeese

Customer Reviews:

Not Tim's best.......2007-07-09

I bought this CD because of the duet of Tim and Faith Hill, I Need You. It's an amazing song and I absolutely love it! However, the rest of the CD doesn't do much for me. It's not bad, but it's not great either. Some songs are better than others, but the duet is the only one that really stands out to me, although I do enjoy the last track. I can't totally trash this CD, but I just can't highly recommend it either.

A Great album.......2007-07-05

This is a great album, it was my first Tim Mcgraw cd. There is something very real and down to earth about these songs. It has a very authentic feel to it, life, the truimphs, the loses, love... And all throughout there is a spiritual/inspirational feel to the entire album. Tim Mcgraw sings from the heart.

The song "I Need You" just blew me away, it's one of my all time favorite songs. "Last Dollar (Fly Away)" is such a fun song.

All the songs on this album are very good and memorable. Now I have almost all of Mr. Mcgraw's cds!

A Great Album...

Let It Play!.......2007-07-01

I have just returned home from Canada - travelled there to see Tim & Faith on their Soul2Soul Tour. The show was absolutely sensational, and I even got to shake the man's hand! Until I heard these songs performed live! I must admit I felt that the album was a little flat and heavy compared to previous Tim efforts, however I now have a newfound appreciation of their depth and McGraw's abilities. Diversity definitely a word which can be attributed to him and his prowess as a performner.

Between The River & Me marries the aural aspects of Garth Brooks' Thunder Rolls with the lyrics of the Dixie Chicks' Goodbye Earl, and it really works. The obligatory Tim & Faith duet is magnificent - I Need You's lyrics really demonstrate that with a gorgeous melody to boot. Last Dollar is as up-tempo as you can get - a great party tune. One further favourite is Suspicions which could easily be a soul artist performing - exceptional.

I hope Tim's next album has some more hopeful tracks on it, definitely. However as an artistic piece, the album is really quite flawless, with an impressive story-telling dexterity that so many song-writers can only aspire to.

Look forward to the next exciting chapter in the McGraw chronicles, and will DEFINITELY return to the US or Canada to hear the songs live! Britain really does not know what it is missing!

"Let it Go" Falls a little flat for this McGraw fan.......2007-06-27

By this point in his career Tim McGraw is one of the most decorated Country artists of the past 20 years. Unfortunately I found this album to be out in Left Field bouncing along instead of heading out over the fence. Many of the songs have the signature soulful vocals from McGraw, however I found the songwriting to be much weaker than previous albums. Nothing instrumentally seems to have the hooks or emotional sounds of albums past, so instead of peaks and valleys I felt like many of the songs just plodded along without any particular direction. Not until the eighth song did I find a song that really reached out and grabbed me, and with "Nothin to Die For" I at this point am hoping the rest of the album will finish strong. It does pump up the volume a bit with the semi-honky "Between the River and Me" as it also has a bit of a darker appeal within its sound and songwriting. The song "Train #10" is somewhat memorable, but nothing to write home about.

With song eleven the CD rolls into "I Need You" in which his wife Faith Hill sings along. By this time I've heard many tunes that the couple have sang and though this one does not stand out to me as those have, I really enjoyed it for the most part and much take my hat off to Faith's vocal performance on this track. Thirteen tracks in all, it is not near as strong as past CD's but if you are a big Tim McGraw fan and have enjoyed everything he has done up to this point, you may find it appealing enough.

If You're a McGraw Fan, You Will Enjoy "Let it Go.".......2007-06-18

"Let it Go" is a solid McGraw CD. It may not be the best CD of his but certainely one you will be glad you have in your collection. My favorite songs on the CD are: Last Dollar, Suspicions, Train #10, Between the River and Me, Comin' Home, and Shotgun Rider. These could all easily be singles in the future. The first part of the CD the songs, other than Last Dollar, all sound similar. That's one reason I enjoy all the songs on the second half so much better. I am getting sick of his duets with Faith. She's got a great voice, but she's not a favorite of mine. There is speculation that 07 will be the last time Tim and Faith will tour together. Thank god for that. Overall this CD is worth a four star rating. It would have been five but too many just so-so songs. I do think it's better than "Live Like You Were Dying." I don't know why people feel that is such a great CD. It has an awful depressing feel to it. The only songs I like on that CD are "My Old Friend" and "Back When." "Let it Go," in my humble opinion, is much better.

Sloppy in conception, and even sometimes in the playing, Let It Be often gets a bad rap. Unfairly, as it's often as charming, well written, and (oh yeah) rocking as the Beatles' "better" albums; it's also more outright fun than Abbey Road, the masterpiece it followed into the stores. With Lennon and McCartney working together on the perfect "I've Got a Feeling," "Two of Us," and "Dig a Pony," it's hard to believe these guys were about to implode. --Rickey Wright

I'M TIRED, SO TIRED...........2007-07-12

TO MY SURPRISE, NOTHING REALLY STOOD OUT AS I EXPECTED IT TO. THIS ALBUM DIDN'T DO IT FOR ME 35 YEARS AGO EITHER. I WAS HOPING I WAS WRONG; PERHAPS I'M JUST TIRED LIKE 'THEY' WERE THEN...

The Convoluted End.......2007-07-08

The heavy black border on the front cover, the inexplicable reversion by the band members to "younger" looks, the red apple label, the "new phase Beatles album" line on the back cover, all played their part in confusing one particular 13-year-old upon this album's release. It would only be about five years later, once the Beatle literature began to proliferate in earnest, that I comprehended the situation behind what many commentators bemoaned as a painfully weak finish to a spectacular musical career, indeed epoch. All these years later I still find myself agreeing that it was a shame the Beatles didn't keep this one in the vault and let Abbey Road stand as their true swan song.

Overall, though, Let It Be really does little to tarnish the Beatles' reputation. There are small pleasures here that stand the test of time better than some of the Beatles' more grandiose efforts. "Two of Us" and "Get Back" can proudly take their place among the best of Lennon-McCartney, and even the overproduced "Across the Universe" and "The Long and Winding Road" still have a haunting melodic beauty.

And the Beatles, being the Beatles, didn't leave this without an odd wrinkle or two in the backstory. For one thing, this is the album for which the final Beatles recording sessions were conducted. Absent John, the rest of the group convened sometime after Abbey Road was put to bed to record George's "I Me Mine", which was featured in the Let It Be film, but only in rough form. They also put some finishing touches to the title track. These sessions were conducted in January 1970, which gave the Beatles the barest toehold as a working group in the new decade. The initial release of the album also reportedly featured a book of photos that one commentator described over thirty years ago as "useless", though I've never seen that book and would very much like to, if only to say I did.

And there is this: the album is entirely free of even the barest hint of the sometimes painful tension on display in the film. I'm not sure what that means, except that they obviously had moments even at this nadir when they could rally and make the magic happen.

This Album gets such a bad rep.......2007-07-05

And i dont really know why. It has some of the beatles better songs on it, and its a pretty cohesive album on the whole. yes, it does seem that spector can be accused of overproduction; it would have undoubtedly been better if martin was producing. dont pass this album up. its essential to anyone's catalog.

UN ALBUM MUY TRISTE..........2007-05-07

A comparacion de las grandes obras beatles como STG. PEPPER, REVOLVER, RUBBER SOUL, THE WHITE ALBUM y ABBEY ROAD, siento que este se quedo muy atras; lo siento muy incompleto, como uno de esos discos a los que les falto un mejor trabajo... y mas canciones (pudieron haber incluido DON'T LET ME DOWN, la cual aparece en la pelicula); por lo demas, no niego que es un buen disco, pero es obvio que le falta mucho para llegar a niveles como el de los anteriores mencionados; talvez se deba a que los mismos Beatles no pusieron mucho esfuerzo en su elaboracion, ni siquiera fue producido por el gran George Martin (no olvidemos que fue una epoca de enojos, disgustos y disgregacion para los fab-four)... creo que Phil Spector no supo asimilar la "atmosfera-beatle"; la mayor prueba fue lo que le hizo a THE LONG AND WINDING ROAD (algo que Paul nunca le perdonara); a pesar de todo contiene grandes piezas como LET IT BE, GET BACK, ACROSS THE UNIVERSE y una linda cancion de george, I ME MINE; indispensable para todo beatlemaniaco, pero talvez uno de los ultimos a ser conseguido... y no dejo de sentir melancolia al escucharlo, si, TALVEZ TODO TIEMPO PASADO FUE MEJOR.

Thanks to a fortuitous intersection of talent and fate, 22-year-old Josh Groban hasn't finished his senior year in performing arts school but has already released his sophomore effort on a major major label. Fans of the young vocal phenom's debut will find much to enthrall them here, even if it nudges the singer closer to the center of producer/mentor David Foster's MOR pop sensibilities. Eschewing much of its predecessor's more overt classic-lite pretensions and pop-rock covers for a slate of dramatic, Eurocentric ballads that serve as a showcase for the singer's inviting baritone, Groban shrewdly positions himself as the American alternative to the Bocelli-Watson crossover axis. "Caruso" may find the singer falling short of its operatic inspiration, but "Oceano" and "My Confession" quickly showcase his true dramatic range (which seems to all but yearn for a bona fide Broadway musical challenge), while a vocal take of Bacalov's graceful "Il Postino" theme uses classical virtuoso Joshua Bell's violin flourishes to good effect. To his credit, Groban displays some promising efforts at songwriting collaboration on the bittersweet "Per Te" and "Remember When It Rains," while the ambient/ethnic soundscape of Deep Forest's "Never Let Go" offers a teasing alternative to the record's otherwise melodramatic production formula. Groban has found commercial triumph via Foster's mentoring, but there remains a nagging sense here that he hasn't truly pushed himself as an artist--yet. --Jerry McCulley

Amazon.com essential recording

One of the Stones' most beloved albums, 1969's Let It Bleed was a benchmark for several reasons. First, founding guitarist Brian Jones died during the recording process. Second, the Stones take their last significant look at pure blues (Robert Johnson's spooky "Love in Vain") and country ("Country Honk," the two-stepping alter ego of "Honky-Tonk Women") before folding both styles into a cohesive rock & roll vision. Third, it contains some of the band's most eerie hits, such as the flame-enveloped "Gimme Shelter," the drug-reality anthem "Monkey Man," the epic "You Can't Always Get What You Want," and Mick Jagger's menacing "Midnight Rambler." --Steve Knopper

Customer Reviews:

OH MY GOD! MAYBE THIS IS THERE BEST ALBUM? ANOTHER MASTERPIECE!.......2007-07-11

Wow! What a line up! As soon as you hear the opening guitar of Gimme Shelter you know your in for something special! I love "Country Honk" How many groups have that kind of balls to not include a classic hit like "Honky Tonk Woman" and do a country version of that song for the album? Most groups could only dream of having enough great material to do something like that! The Stones were at the top of the game between "Beggar's" & "Exile". They managed to put out four of the greatest albums of all time, a fantastic live album(Ya Ya's) and an incredible hits set with Hot Rocks! This is an album that should be in every music lovers collection!

Stones And Guests make a classic........2007-07-05

The Rolling Stones and their guests made a great one with Let it Bleed. Keith is at his best, His song Silver is one of the best. Nicky Hopkins piano at the start of Monkey man is creative.Byron Berlines fiddle makes Country Honk better. Al Kooper plays Frech horn, Piano and Organ on Cant always get what you want. Bobby Keys has a good solo on Live With Me. Ry Cooders mandolin is good on Love In Vain. Mick is great on here his vocals are great and good harmonica on Midnight Rambler.

A another Stones classic.......2007-05-24

Led It Bleed is the follow up to Beggers Banquet and its just as good if not better than Beggers Banquest with its country, blues, and rock music.

Worth it?.......2007-04-29

The album has been reviewed for content excellently on these pages. I will only comment on this New Edition.
I have listened to this album since 1973, and have LP and CD.

Was it worth to buy this Remastered version?

Absolutely. I hear things in the mix that I'd never heard before (even with my older and well-abused ears!).

Same for Aftermath, and Beggars Banquet. There's a new freshness on these re-editions that is simply staggering.
Of course, only if you have listening equipment that can capture these details... But even on my old Quad and Heresy's the difference is amazing.

50/50 Classic Stone's Lulabyes...................2007-04-28

Keith is perfect in his 'You Got The Silver'. Other great and arresting songs are 'Gimme Shelter','Monkey Man".

The other half of the songs are pretty Sluggish for their usual fast pace.

There are worse things in life than making your acting debut on the much ballyhooed season finale of Ally McBeal, though teen operatic baritone Josh Groban doesn't seem destined to encounter them anytime soon. As the awkward high school student-client who asks the typically romance-jinxed Ally to his senior prom, Groban performed this debut album's "You're Still You" (adapted from film-composing legend Ennio Morricone's Academy Award-nominated score for Malèna, with lyrics by Linda Thompson) as a heart-tugging, literal showstopper. The young phenom was just 17 when veteran producer-writer David Foster tapped him to fill in for Andrea Bocelli at rehearsals for the 1999 Grammys, where Groban found himself suddenly dueting with Celine Dion.

Indeed, such were his fortunes that the young Foster protégé was forced to drop out of Carnegie Mellon when professional commitments--including this record--interfered. And if this collection tends to hew sometimes uncomfortably close to Foster's own MOR sonic instincts, the material offers enough challenges to display Groban's talent and the potential of his warm, mature voice: a lyrical take on another Morricone classic, "Cinema Paradiso"; melancholy readings of Don McLean's "Starry, Starry Night" and Albert Hammond's "Alejate"; masterfully dramatic takes of the Neapolitan "Alla Luca Del Sole" and "Canto Alla Vita," the latter featuring the Corrs. Many of Groban's performances here, including a neo prog-rock-opera take on Bach's "Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring" (with Lili Haydn), seem both bigger and bolder than their precious musical frameworks, a telling hint that Grand Opera can't be far from his grasp. As said earlier, there are worse things in life. --Jerry McCulley

Sweet.......2007-07-13

Josh Groban and Charolette Church! Yum. This is a very good album and a must buy!

superb.......2007-07-05

What a voice, what an artist, what a man.
Underestimated in Europe. His concert on 21 May 2007 in Amsterdam was superb!

Oh my Gosh, Josh!.......2007-07-03

I love Josh Groban's music! It is romantic, mellow and beautiful :)
This CD has two songs on it that are very unusual. I believe both are from Cirque de Soleil, and draw you into the music--warning-- While driving, do not close your eyes!

a true star.......2007-06-24

First saw and heard Josh on the Tv and was blown away by his talent! it was about a year later that I found out who he was and bought the first album and can honestly say that I have never tired of his work. Every song is magical and he is truely wonderful. Have since purchased all his work and have also had the priviledge of seeing him live in concert in Glasgow/Scotland and was amazed. such a talented young man with a truely magical voice

Floodgates of the Heart.......2007-06-05

This CD played almost constantly in my wife's car for several years. Josh Groban's voice is so gentle and can go from gentleness to anthematic, almost operatic, textures. He sings in Italian effortlessly. The orchestration on "Cinema Paradiso" is enthralling with its emotional reach, powerful even with lyrics beyond my understanding. "To Where You Are" is one of the most gorgeous songs. Knowing how it moved my wife in the years before breast cancer proved stronger than her body, it touches me now, "Fly me up to where you are beyond the distant star I wish upon tonight to see you smile, if only for awhile to know you're there; a breath a ways to where you are." The song opens the floodgates of my heart. The Corrs were on Groban's 143 label when this release came out in 2001 and join him on the upbeat "Canto Alla Vita." Groban makes an interesting selection with Don McLean's "Vincent," polishing the melody to a fine sheen in ways that surpassed the original. Listening to Bach's "Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring" is like being in a sonic cathedral with Groban's voice matching the grandeur of the music. With Charlotte Church on "The Prayer," Groban concludes the set with the Carole Bayer Sager/David Foster composition that makes one contemplate the eternal, "Lead us to a place, find us with your grace, give us faith so we'll be safe." Groban's first CD enhances with repeated listening by virtue of the depth of musicianship and performance. I listen to it now hearing the music that moved the one I love to tears. It does the same for me. I hope it touches you too. Bravo!

The Goo Goo Dolls have long since traded the bracing, Replacements-lite abandon of their early days for an ethos of heart-on-their-sleeve emotionality wed to a solid heartland pop craftsmanship that's too easily been casually mislabeled. Superstar producer Glen Ballard (who shares many a writing credit here as well) pushes that latter sensibility to its logical extremes, ensuring a slick sonic experience that won't disappoint those who hitched themselves to the Dolls' wagon circa their mid '90s commercial breakthrough. But there remains a nagging sense that this is a band that isn't pushing itself very hard: even the hook-solid opening single "Stay With You" seems downright cautious. Coupled with Ballard's penchant for polish, Johnny Rzeznik's introspection on "Without You Here" hews close to the center line before Robbie Takac's "Listen" gives the album a much-needed jolt of energy. The album's featured cover, a faithful, contemporary AOR-friendly take on Supertramp's "Give a Little Bit," is emblematic of the Goo Goo Dolls fortunes here: They often seemed boxed in by a past that's not necessarily their own. --Jerry McCulley

Contrasts from their usual style.......2007-07-11

The Goo Goo Dolls have grown softer in their music style. Compared to their last album (Gutterflower), Let Love In seems to be the work of a different band. Nevertheless, they have reached a new level that will appease Goo fans everywhere.
Let Love In is one of those CDs in which a few songs are phenomenal, and the rest is nothing special. "Stay With You" is an excellent, upbeat rock track that draws the listener in without reservation. The mood is then settled with "Let Love In" and "Better Days" which are smooth, inspirational tracks. Then to me, the remainder of the CD provides nothing interesting for me, though "Feel the Silence," "Give a Little Bit," and "Can't Let It Go" are pleasant tracks, but nothing I would skip immediately to upon listening. "Become" is the closest thing to "Black Balloon" on this CD, very passionate and compelling. It leaves the audience in awe.
Though I don't believe LLI is one of their best overall CDs, tracks like "Become," "Stay With You," "Let Love In," and "Better Days" make me want a brand new Goo CD and continue to call the Goo Goo Dolls one of my favorite bands of all time.

Goo Goos At There Best.......2007-05-12

The name does not identify with the music but this is an album that will suck you in, just listen to the lyrics and identify. Definitly not for the grunge brigade of hard rock but the Goo Goos have shown that they can do rock music that is appealing to the ear. A lot different to the early stuff. This will probably be for all you romantics out there but dont be put off, the music is awesome the lyrics twang the heart strings. A definite must have album and will be played for decades to come.

JUST WHEN I THOUGHT THEY HAD NOTHING MORE IN THEM..........2007-05-03

In my opinion, A BOY NAMED GOO, until this CD was released, was their BEST album. 1998 and 1999 saw huge record sales of DIZZY UP THE GIRL and at the time I thought the album was OK, but I never was a huge liker of it...and now that times and my own musical tastes have changed, that CD seems too straightforward and at times far too abrasive. However, I did buy their follow up GUTTERFLOWER and aside from "Big Machine", I found that CD to be apallingly awful. How could they just write a batch of stale grungy type stuff with heartless tinges of balladry thrown in and expect anything good out of it? The CD had no direction, no focus, no distinct melodies...nothing original, that's for sure! Now this CD comes out and I had to give it a listen, knowing the Goo Goo Dolls from their multiplatinum days of DIZZY UP THE GIRL and having been to their concert @ The Show-Me Center (which was my first concert) and, of course, what better things do I have to do with my time? Amazon and Launchcast keep trying to introduce me to 'new' music and most of it sucks (I'm hard to please, I know!) so I spend most of my life BORED or mildly amused...I was very surprised with this album. It has a beautiful melodic tone to it, the texture of the soundscape isn't bad at all...my only complaint is that the songs are kinda cheesy...A BOY NAMED GOO probably still suits me better given my 'cynical' (aka realistic) attitude, but this was a huge relief given the lacking of their last two efforts (which took over 6 years to get to the public...).

I love the Goos!.......2007-03-09

Being a huge fan of the Goo Goo Dolls, I think their new album is brilliant. It's nice to see that musicians are including more social commentaries in their music.

A must have for any Goo Goo Dolls fan.

Self-professed skate punk Avril Lavigne sings that she'd "rather be anything but ordinary" on her debut. While the fact that she had a record deal by the age of 16 separates her from the pack, too often Let Go's lyrical shortcomings drag the teenager's musically impressive recording entrée into the realm of the typical. The catchy choruses of Go are substantial, though, thanks to Lavigne's riff-driven melodies and powerful vocals, which at times adopt the unorthodox intonation quirks of fellow Canadian Alanis Morrissette. The nuanced, dynamic "Losing Grip," "My World" (which perfectly captures the ennui of suburbia), and the buoyant power-pop blast "Sk8er Boi" are the collection's highlights. But Lavigne's honest yet awkward words weigh down the likes of "Mobile," "I'm with You," and "Naked." "Nobody's Fool," which displays her Pink-like take-me-as-I-am credo, hints that someday Lavigne's lyrics will match the strength of her music. --Annie Zaleski

Let Go is an excellent debut........2007-06-05

LET GO is the debut album from Avril Lavigne. The album released 4 singles with corresponding music videos; Complicated, Sk8er Boi, I'm With You, and Losing Grip.

01. Losing Grip - The fourth and final single from the album. A good start to this album. 4.8/5

02. Complicated - The first single off of the album. It is fun to listen too and to sing along too also. 5/5

03. Sk8er Boi - The second single off of the album. It is fun too just sing along to and have a blast with. 4/5

04. I'm With You - The third single off of the album. One of the slower songs on the album. Not my favorite but it is a good song. 4/5

05. Mobile - Not a very good song in my opinion. 3/5

06. Unwanted - My second least favorite track on the album. 2/5

07. Tomorrow - My least favorite track on the album. 1/5

08. Anything But Ordinary - My 2nd favorite track on the album. 5/5

09. Things I'll Never Say - Awesome track on the album. 5/5

10. My World - My favorite song on the album. 5/5

11. Nobody's Fool - A fun 'rappy' song on the album. 4/5

12. Too Much Too Ask - My 3rd least favorite track on the album. 2/5

13. Naked - My 3rd favorite track on the album. 5/5

This album is most definately (sp) worth the buy.

Amazon.com essential recording

AC/DC's second U.S. release took the raw energy from their debut, High Voltage, up a notch, producing another huge collection of driving, intense songs for serious headbanging, but adding a bit more professionalism into the equation. The songwriting and production are tighter and more focused, and standouts such as "Whole Lotta Rosie," "Problem Child," "Let There Be Rock," and "Bad Boy Boogie" almost have to fight with "filler" like "Go Down" and "Hell Ain't a Bad Place to Be" for the spotlight; but really, there's not a wasted track here. Guitarists Angus and Malcom Young further define their grooves, and vocalist Bon Scott sounds like he's on the verge of combusting. Let There Be Rock is big and lean. --Lorry Fleming

Fantastic Rock album.......2007-06-27

Another classic album from the greatness of AC/DC. Be sure to check out Back in Black and Highway to Hell first, but this would be a good place to continue your collection after those.

This is the reason you buy singles on iTunes.......2007-06-22

Not a bad album but, for my taste, the weakest album from front man Bon Scott. I think that, with the exception of the amazing title track, it is a mediocre album. Again - I would buy it, but I'd buy this one last after all the others. That's for the music, but I'd still buy it for the booklet and to have a complete Bon Scott collection.

All of these remastered reissues are GREAT! I walked into Best Buy and bought all at once (well, except for Let There Be Rock which I needed to special order) and that $70 happily flew out of my hands. The books that come with each CD are well worth the money themselves. Unlike some booklets like these, they aren't padded with "I love this band", "this album is great" and "this and every other song is amazing historic and will change your life."

Some background about the album, the time period in the band's history, and other behind the scenes info make up most of it including information about the tours and other trivia. Good, meaty stuff.

Bon Scott!!!!!!!!.......2007-05-21

With AC/DC,Rock will always be there.This album being the latest addition to my collection.The 4th with Bon,in my collection. May I say,Bon was the Best!!!!!! With all respect to Brian Johnson ,who led sang on perhaps,one of my fave albums of all time,Back In Black.Bon just sang with the rawest energy ever,in my opinion. This album just had the rockenest rockers ever.Starting off with "Go Down",which has so much energy.Than going into "Dog eat Dog","Let There Be Rock","Bad Boy Boogie","Problem Child"(of course,it was on Dirty Deeds too),through the last "Whole Lott Rosie".This album just has so much energy and will rock your socks off!!!!!!!!!
Bon and AC/DC forever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

More Great Rock And Roll From The Heart.......2007-01-13

Let there be rock was the Usa follow up to High Voltage...Ac/Dc is a band unlike any other,in that the style has never changed no matter what. If you put on their debut album High Voltage and compare it to the latest "Stiff Upper Lip" released many many many years later,it sounds extremely similar,as if it could have been released a few months later (of course with the exception of Bon Scott's vocals) All that being said,I love this CD as I love all Ac/Dc releases. They always play from the heart and put 100 percent into every song. You can't say that for many bands,most bands release songs onto their albums that you know darn well were just thrown on there to take up space. Let there be rock is very similar in style to high voltage,the lyric content is much the same as is the driving beats and three chord anthems...I wish I could have given this a 3 and a half star review because it is certainly above average but I can't in good conscience say it is one step below perfect either..there are some fantastic memorable songs on this,such as the title cut "Let There Be Rock" "hell Ain't A Bad Place To Be","Overdose" and of course the absolute best song on the CD "Whole Lotta Rosie",those songs are right up there with any of the best songs from the entire Ac/Dc catalog,but there are some songs that don't stand up (in my opinion) such as "Go Down" and "Dog Eat Dog" ..it's not that they aren't great songs because they are,it's just that they aren't as catchy or memorable. The one thing I never quite understood is why they released "Problem Child" on this CD and a few years later released the same exact song on the Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap CD...it is a great song but why put it on twice? This is definitely a great CD...the production is top notch and very clear and all fans of good rock and roll and metal should buy this...but if you are new to the band start with Highway To Hell or Back In Black to get a true taste of the genius of this band...they stuck to their guns and will live forever in rock history

the upside - blues based rock/metal at it's finest...some extremely tasty lead guitar playing by Angus and some of the best metal screaming in the world by Bon Scott...great production,a great booklet with awesome pictures and stories comes with it, and some classic songs including "Whole Lotta Rosie" which is one of the best Ac/Dc songs ever...all 8 songs are great to rock out to and crank up to 10

the downside - only 8 songs...no bonus tracks on the remastered edition,and one of the 8 songs "problem child" can be found on Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap...many of the songs on this album sound nearly identical to songs on the previous release 'high voltage' and the one to follow 'powerage'

the bottom line - with Ac/Dc you simply can't go wrong...this is what rock and roll was meant to be...you should buy this CD if you love rock and roll of any kind because it would appeal to fans of blues rock,metal,and all styles in between..great production...it's not their best CD but even an average Ac/Dc release is better than most band's best CD...go out and buy this but I recommend first buying Back In Black and Highway To Hell and then you'll be ready to crank up "Let There Be Rock" and air guitar the day away...this band rocks and this CD rocks ..the donutman says so

WOW.......2006-10-08

LET THERE BE ROCK in my opinion is AC/DC's first classic album. I don't count HIGH VOLTAGE as a classic album since it's actually a compilation of the best songs from their first two albums. You can tell this is going to be great right from the first song. GO DOWN kicks the album off with great guitar work, and the most inspired vocals Bon Scott had done up to that point. It's obvious Bon is peaking both as a singer, and as a lyric writer throughout the album. The entire band is much improved since the DIRTY DEEDS DONE DIRT CHEAP album. Anyway, GO DOWN is a great opening track, and often overlooked. The second song is DOG EAT DOG, by now you should have your volume knob as far up as it will go. LET THERE BE ROCK is the third song, and it is as great as the first two. BAD BOY BOOGIE is the fourth great song in a row. PROBLEM CHILD is the next song, and it's a great song, but it seems out of place. And it should because it was on DDDDC. The next song is OVERDOSE, which has a slow build-up that AC/DC would use often for the rest of their career. OVERDOSE might be the weak point of the album, because it's just very good. Now we get to HELL AIN'T A BAD PLACE TO BE, at this point I'm trying to get my stereo to go louder. If anyone wants to know what AC/DC is about, just play HELL AIN'T A BAD PLACE TO BE. And finally we get to WHOLE LOTTA ROSIE, another classic song. Since I'm not a musician it's hard for me to describe this album. The best way I can describe it is loud guitars, loud drums and a very raw, hard sound. This is what rock music should be.

If Josh Groban's unabashedly melodramatic musical fusion inspires grousing on both sides of the classical/pop pundit divide, the screams of the (mostly) young female fans that punctuate these 2004 performances at L.A.'s historic Greek theater better underscore the real point. This set's CD and more expansive DVD complement each other well; if anything, supplemented by a live string ensemble and crack backing band, they're a warmer, more focused showcase for the singer's talents than the studio albums that made his meteoric fame. In peak form, Groban variously delivers forceful renditions of his pop-operatic powerhouses "Canto Alla Vita" and "Anna Luce Del Sole" (the former featuring a drum solo [!] from Groban, the latter a fine guest turn by Bela Fleck on banjo), takes a surprising solo piano break on Paul Simon's "America," waxes Central Asian on Troy's "Remember" and brings the crowd to its feet with the heart-on-his-sleeve dramatics of Closer's "Never Let Go." They're all informed by the singer's insouciant, youthful enthusiasm, arguing that Groban is gifted with more than just a magnificent voice; he's a complete natural as a performer as well. The DVD also includes a tour diary narrated with typical charm by the singer, as well as bonus live performance of "Believe" from the Polar Express soundtrack. --Jerry McCulley

Album Description

Josh Groban's 2002 PBS "Great Performances" special was a #1 selling DVD and the best-selling long-form music video of 2003. His second "Great Performances" special was taped at L.A.'s Greek Theater in the summer of 2004. For fans of the young sophisticated pop phenomenon who has sold more than 8 million albums, this CD+DVD package is just the latest great performance in the career of Josh Groban. DVD Extras: On the road with Josh for Summer 2004 Tour and a special performance of "Believe" from The Polar Express (it's PBS footage mixed w/ film footage).

Customer Reviews:

Josh is even better in live!.......2007-04-14

I recently saw Josh on his new tour with Awake, and it was so awesome that inspired me to buy this DVD to replicate the experience a little bit. I loved it! Especially loved the few extra songs I've never heard before (Mi Morena, America). Some people were complaining about the nasal sound and quality, but this is a live show so of course it sounds a little different. Bottom line is I think Josh is a great preformer and his very funny also :)

Very Good!.......2007-02-09

This CD/DVD was very good. I watched the DVD and was impresed with the way He handles the "spot light." He seems to be a very humble person and I think that is what makes his music so enjoyable to listen to. Not forgetting his awesome voice!

Let me explain..........2007-01-14

There are several reviews that talk about how annoying it is for the fans to wave light sticks and/or American flags in this DVD. Perhaps if I explain why, it will seem less annoying.

The waving of the light sticks was started at the very beginning of his first tour, mainly to show him how much the fans appreciated the concerts. The first idea was to wave them during the last verse of "You Raise Me Up," when the choir came out. Later, fans added another show of support by waving blue light sticks during "Vincent (Starry Starry Night."

OK, if you still find that annoying, that's your right. However, the flag waving at the end of "To Where You Are" was special. This concert was filmed on September 11, and the flags were waved at the end of "To Where You Are" for those who were lost, and the families of those who were lost, on 9/11/2001.

It's your right if you still find these things annoying. I just thought I'd try to help you to understand.

Since this is a forum for giving our opinions of the DVD, I have to say that I love it. He has a beautiful voice and I love listening to him under any circumstance. The DVD is wonderful, IMHO.

Re-Live the Concert Experience!.......2007-01-09

Was fortunate enough to attend Josh's "Closer" concert tour date at Jones Beach--amazing voice. Getting this album brought back all of the memories of that amazing evening outdoors under a "Starry, Starry Night." I used to not bother purchasing live albums because they had poor audio quality, but not anymore. Love this album! (Actually, I love all of his stuff.)

DVD is so worth the price.......2007-01-08

I disagree with some of the reviewers complaining about a nasal sounding CD. Yes, there are few parts where it may sound a little nasal but people have to remember that this a LIVE concert and if they wanted perfect sound they should buy the studio album instead. He still sounded brilliant and great. The DVD is fantastic for all those who don't have the luck or means to attend a Groban concert. It captures the energy and pure joy of a concert. Sometimes its even better than being at the concert because you can see Groban close up. I hope that there will be a concert DVD released for the AWAKE concerts.
