| 1979 - A&M  |
" have
to recommend Joe Jackson’s debut to those who appreciate current
incarnations of indie and alt-pop. This is one of the places it started
folks…" |
|
| 1998
- Fontana  |
"James
has always had more to offer than just one hit on one album. Peruse
any online music store, you’ll see no fewer than eleven separate
albums not including The Best of James or the singles and EP’s." |
|
| 1990
- Fontana |
"A
thoughtful, energetic, yet mellow brand of college rock/folk/baggy..." |
|
| 1992 - Fontana |
"Seven
tends toward being mainstream, but the band doesn’t make a 360
degree turn. Rather, Booth and company incorporate pop, folk, and
chipper melodies into their songs. These elements when combined with
decent lyrics and incredible vocals make for a pleasant listening
experience." |
|
| 1997
- Mercury  |
"...less
experimental and more rock and roll that earlier outings." |
|
| 1995
- Columbia |
"Brilliant?
Nah…too retro, and too borrowed but fun nonetheless." |
|
|
1996 - Work
|
"...lacks some consistency
but overall it’s a fine enough album. I like most of what
I hear and can hit skip on those songs I’d rather not sit
through."
|
|
| 1988 - Warner
Brothers |
"It is
abrasive, crazy, and weird but you know what? It's also on the whole
rather invigorating and entertaining." |
|
| 1990
- Warner Brothers |
"...both
punk and hard rock all rolled up into one odd package." |
|
| 1992 - American |
"The
twelve songs run the gamut between aggressive, noisy pop-rock to stylized,
earthy classic rock n’ roll, but there are a few problems. Most
notable is that the songs lean heavily toward becoming monotonous." |
|
| 1997 - Combustion  |
"My point?
If you think you like Jesus Jones (or if you used to like them) stick
to the material you have fond memories for (probably that which is
on Doubt). Otherwise, I advise you to steer clear so as not to sully
your opinion." |
|
| 1991
- SBK |
"A
decently good album for a relatively two-hit wonder." |
|
| 1993 - SBK |
"And
believe it or not, but Jesus Jones’s third release is absolutely
100% groundbreaking. Not because of quality, but because of the fact
that is was the first album ever recorded completely on computer." |
|
| 1995 - Atlantic |
"However
there are some major issues with Pieces of You. Much of it was recorded
live and the songs you recognize as hit singles were actually re-recorded
for mainstream release. The versions on this album were not the ones
in videos and on radio." |
|
| 2005 - Sanctuary |
"t is
consistently entertaining, sometimes rousing, sometimes relaxing,
and always well performed. However I think it is most rewarding to
listen to in snippets rather than taking in all at once." |
|
| 2000 - Columbia |
"There’s
so much to be said for the exuberance of youth. JJ72 exemplifies what
can be accomplished when such talent has been developed in so few
years. This is a memorable, outstanding, truly magnificent album that
most seasoned artists would have been incredibly pleased with." |
|
| 2002 - Lakota |
"I'm
not sure I know anything more about JJ72 after hearing this album
than I did before, but what I do understand is that the trio had a
magical chemistry. It's an experimental record that could have really
isolated previous fans. Instead I think it just shed new light on
to the actual songs." |
|
| 1973 - Columbia |
"In any
case, it is clear that the Greatest Hits collection is probably short-sighted,
but it is unquestionably the perfect place to start for newer fans
of Joplin..." |
