| 2000 - Capitol/EMI  |
"A refreshing
blend of good humored rock, tight lyrics, and savvy melodies the album
resonates nicely and should have if nothing else given The Dandy Warhols
exposure. But it did not. Not that the album is genius perfection,
but it is great enough to have earned the Oregon band much more attention
and a larger fan base." |

"State
of Grace is an all-too-brief window into the soul of Alicia Dara" |
|
2005 -
Atlantic  |
"If
you really, honestly want to explore The Darkness I suggest you
pick up Permission to Land. If you really, honestly enjoy that
album then turn to this one for a bit more joy." |
|
| 2003
- Atlantic |
"Hair
metal, Sebastian Bach, and the like all came to mind. But a modern
twist on it all comes in the form of the consciously campy nature
of the band and for that matter their sense of humor." |
|
2004 -
Atlantic |
"I
think their songs work incredibly well alone or on a full-length
release. It would be ridiculous to say that this is a must-own
disc, but for fans of The Darkness it is a treasure." |
|
| 2003
- Idol Records |
"Daryl
might not be the most unique band I’ve ever heard, but in truth
I find the lack of pretension and all-out entertainment value of Uneven
Surfaces makes up for any lack of originality." |
|
|
2004 - V2  |
"The only real value
in the album is that it proves just how good music from many of “The” contemporaries
actually is. If you want a taste of modern rock/metal/garage I
highly suggest you not check out The Datsuns." |
|
| 1994 - RCA |
"...other
bands have hit the scene and done the DMB shtick as well or better." |
|
2006 - RCA |
"Daughtry
isn’t the most intelligent or the most versatile album I’ve
heard in the past year or even month, but it is pleasant. I wish
he could be a little less serious and maybe break from the mold
a bit more but as far as debuts in this pop-rock genre go it is
definitely worth buying." |
|
| 2005 - Tigress |
"The
center of everything Davis does is her unique, soulful voice. Her
performance style is honest and sensual. Even better? The songs are
simply wonderful." |
|
|
1959 - Columbia  |
"The layers of strings,
woodwinds, and brass are representative of Davis’ imaginative
vision, but the distinctly Spanish flair makes this album something
more and different." |
|
| 1997
- Outpost |
"Today,
it’s just old hat. Well, old hat with a few really terrific songs." |
|
| 1995 - Interscope |
" ...their
debut album is better than their one-hit-wonder status would have
you believe." |
|
| 1995 - Mercury |
"The
band’s polished and melodic rock is the perfect addition to
any guilty pleasure rock nook." |
|
| 1998
- A&M |
"
...from beginning to end this is a very worthwhile purchase for fans
of shimmering pop-rock with a dash soul and folk good measure." |
|
| 2000
- 75 Ark |
"If
hip hop hopes to change and to evolve, this is what it should look
toward." |
|
| 2004 - Madacy
|
"John
Denver isn't for people unwilling to connect with their inner country
boy (or girl as the case may be), but if you can drop all pretenses
and for a moment accept the fact that he was indeed an influential
songwriter it's a definite must-own collection." |
|
1990/2006
- Rhino |
"It’s
beautiful, melancholic, and wonderful. Dave Gahan’s throaty
vocals only bolster the music’s quality. Violator was as
good as rock music got in 1990." |
|
1995 - Reprise |
"There
are certainly moments on Ultra that make me remember how special
and talented they really are. It’s unfortunate that the whole
album can’t be a reminder, but nobody is perfect all the
time." |
|
| 1995 - Atlantic |
"Love,
Peace & Money is the worst kind of album. Derivative, boring,
plain, painful, and completely and absolutely ugly." |
|
| 1994 - Capitol/EMI |
"A blend
of heavy metal, industrial, techno and even a splash of RHCP-style
funk for extra panache the band’s music was good but certainly
not enough so to guarantee them much for hits or a following." |
|
| 1995
- A&M 
|
"I
feel jilted by this album." |
|
| 1995
- Columbia |
"I
would go so far as to say that the band is kind of like a shadow of
Counting Crows. It's not that Stuart is any less talented, it's just
that the world of music has been there and done that." |
|
| 2002
- Atlantic
|
"To
listen to Spend The Night is boring…no song stands out as good
or bad. Anderson’s vocals are predictable following the same
flow on each track. She tries vainly to be punk and in the process
comes off as sounding like a shallow, poppier, and much less talented
Louise Post." |
|
| 1967
- Elektra |
"Morrison’s
words and poetry were strange at times, but backed by the amazing
band, the sound was bluesy and psychedelic. It was easy, natural,
and entertaining. Best of all, it was rebellious." |
|
| 2001 - Serenades
|
"Listening
to each song alone is a much easier task then listening to Mirror
Moon on the whole." |
|
1994 - Elektra |
"Crimes
of the Mind is the musical equivalent of an internet pop up ad.
It is unnecessary and annoying. " |
|
| 1989
- Capitol/EMI
|
"It accurately depicts a band in their heyday and a band on their
way down. Way down. In fact, by the time this album hit shelves the
poor blokes were already regarded as washed up has-beens." |
|
| 1993
- Capitol/EMI |
"Duran
Duran made a good choice when they decided to change their focus and
to make music that is good rather than music that is MTV-bound." |
|
| 1995
- Capitol/EMI
|
"Thank
You was apparently supposed to be filler between two albums
of original music. Instead, it somehow has managed to be one
of their best." |
|
1967 - Columbia |
"Sit
back and allow Dylan to whisper his sweet, uneasy laments in your
ears. I can think of no better way to spend a lazy winter day.
Folk-rock, singer/songwriter, politically charged, and genuinely
intelligent this is a compilation full of classic thought." |
