Review your favorite cd online


Recommended Posts

Hello

I wanted to start a thread where people would review cd and give it smilies

No Smilies = Just Horrible

1 Smilie = A little better than horrible.

2 Smilie = Decent Record

3 Smilie = Recommend with reservations.

4 Smilie = Recommend

5 Smilie = A Must buy.

I don't know if this has been done before, I did search it and I did not find any topic listing around this topic, so I started this thread.

I will probably post my own reviews later on.

As sputnik was saying in the thread, PLEASE put what type of music it is.

Please write good reviews.

Thank You

edit: to everyone posting here - i think this thread can be great to share fav albums - but please if you dont post a review, but only a name, link to other review somewhere online. or at least mension the type of music this album is, ok?

edit #2: also post not so famous albums - i want to expand my horizons ;)

electronica:

U.N.K.L.E. - NEVER, NEVER, LAND

http://www.unkle.com/

my opinion :) :) :) :) - very nice

example online review -

http://www.the-reservoir.com/albums/dance/unkle_neverland.html

this album is pretty good electronic with rock motives. i like it a lot so i decided to mension it here.

i would recommend getting "In a State", "Safe in Mind" and "Reign" from some p2p to see if you like them.

indie/rock/folk

MASON JENNINGS - MASON JENNINGS - look it up on amazon for reviews.

Some girl i met in a bar told me how she likes this album a lot so i decided to get it - Its really is good.

my opinion: :) :) :) - because its a short album, and i did not like his subsequent albums at all..

highlights "Butterfly" and "California (Part II)"

both this albums were recent discoveries by me, so even thogh they are not favorites per se, i decided to share them with my fav online hangout - neowin.net :D

peace

ps. almost forgot - anything by Sublime is great too ;)

and as for HIPHOP -->> Hieroglyphics - Third Eye Vision are like :) :) :) :) for sure (look up reviews on amazon)

U.N.K.L.E -- Psyence Fiction with DJ Shadow & James Lavelle is a great album too because its kind of different eletronica/dj album.

This is not my share but somebody elses that I found.

I am also listening to DJ Shadow & Cut Chemist in Freeze.

Superior Album, could be better from what I heard. :) :) :)

I also bought Paul Van Dyk's Reflections, :) :) :)

its a good album for what he does, its something different.

Listening to Unkle Sounds : Do Androids dream of electric beats.

Great Album if you can get it in the US. Its a genuine mix of dj shadow, lavelle and all songs sound different because of how they are redone.

You guys are horrible at reviews. How the **** does the name of a band and 5 smilies help us? sigh.

Agreed. This has turned into a recommendation rather then review thread ...

This reviewing lark is probably best left to the overpaid jornos of NME,Q,MIXMAG etc. A star (or in this case a smiles system :) ) is useless without a well balanced review. Well for a balanced review don't check out the NME as they are really bad in their reviews normally ... slam the album, then in the last paragraph outline any highlights then give the album 7 out of 10!
