    The Id of Gray

    Folks need to stop sleeping on Gray. It feels that Macy Gray is my generation’s Annie Lennox. A bit out there but worth the trip. With The Id, Gray has brought her tone of sanity to the forefront and doused it with insane.

  • This album was a favorite of mine when I first heard it last year. The music and lyrics on most of the songs reminded me why I liked this group to begin with. A solid project is not going to be denied. I listen to this album on a regular and can't complain. Misery02011/08/24

  • This sista has been on the scene for a while and this is her second full LP project. Joy is hard hitting with the beats but do her lyrics and talent match up? They are cute for the young02011/08/12

    Joy or Misery?

  • Listening to what Boyz II Men have produced, I must say their music has been consistent. Some may not take to their R&B style but they favor combining the classic R&B sound with some contemporary mixes. These fellas from Philly have rarely disappointed me02011/08/10

    Are Boyz II Men The Remedy?

  • Thanks to my fam in the Caribbean for introducing me to this fella's music. No fluff. No bling. No bullshit. Just truth. Giving real reggae a resurgence of energy, Tarrus Riley's album is amazing. Touching on points that most ignore or don't know about, he02011/08/10

  • This album didn't make an impression on me past boredom. Perhaps if it was a sunny day with kittens running all around and I was hanging sitting in a field this would help to bring some other emotion. Alas I sit in a NY train station waiting for a delayed train and there is a person22011/01/02

    No Go For Coco

  • I can jump for joy in the sense that either this album is much better than Coco or the joy I feel is simply from the fact that the homeless smelling dude broke the f out. Either way my mood has improved. There are more songs on the album that I enjoyed and even allowed to play all the way through.22010/12/28

    Breaking Through The Madness

  • This was the second album dropped by the group Black Eye Peas (B.E.P.) and it was one of their stronger albums. With their attempt to keep the life of Hip Hop alive, they gave a great mix of consciousness and good music. Hot (ft. Kim Hill) is just one of the tracks that had me grooving02010/12/25

  • Good music can still be made. Anthony Hamilton has not been on the music scene for a minute and I'm missing his music. Songs like I Did It For Sho is what brought Hamilton to the forefront of the WOS and hopefully for 2011 he'll be back better than ever.

  • I've heard her music on movie soundtracks but never was aware of her albums. Bitter is one of many and she's anything but from the vocals and tunes laid down. Fool of Me, Faithful, and Wasted Time are a few of the amazing tracks that were produced on this album.12010/11/27

    Sweet Music Created Out Of Bitterness

  • Another pre-label album (EP) and this dude has made his career as a remake artist. Yes he has a nice voice but let's call a spade a spade. The majority of his albums are remakes. Nothing new. Just as we got at Mary J Blige for being the Queen of R&B Remakes, the same can be said for the King of12010/11/26

  • Nina Simone is one of those artists whose master pieces are distinguishable and untouchable. Like legends such as Michael Jackson, Simone is irreplaceable and was a genius. Her music has been used in films, musicals, television, ballet performances, and has been the inspiration for fellow musicians.32010/11/24

  • Ah, the return of talent. After the last disappointing album I listened to I was not sure if I should listen to another. Alas, here he is with a much better album that resembles Southern Comfort, an album that helped place him on the list of good artists to support.12010/11/24

    A Soulful Life

    Ah, the return of talent. After the last disappointing album I listened to I was not sure if I should listen to another. Alas, here he is with a much better album that resembles Southern Comfort, an album that helped place him on the list of good artists to support.

  • This was Bublé's first album remaking Jazz & Traditional Pop classics and crooning them. This album makes him look worse than a tribute band. At least the band says they have no original material. What was the appeal for this guy to get signed to a label?02010/11/20

    Next Stop – Snorezville

    This was Bublé’s first album remaking Jazz & Traditional Pop classics and crooning them. This album makes him look worse than a tribute band. At least the band says they have no original material. What was the appeal for this guy to get signed to a label?

  • Wow. I was seriously fooled thinking that Ray J improved musically but alas I was Bamboozled. Not only was this album weak, but it barely had 2 good songs on there. One Wish and Anytime were the two and that was despite the abuse of autotune on Anytime.02010/11/16

    It Needs To Be Treated Just As Raydiation – With Hazmat Suites

    Wow. I was seriously fooled thinking that Ray J improved musically but alas I was Bamboozled. Not only was this album weak, but it barely had 2 good songs on there. One Wish and Anytime were the two and that was despite the abuse of autotune on Anytime.

  • I avoided this album until I could stomach the junk that is being pushed on society as music. Alas, I was able to get through listening this album. They lyrics were as I suspected (empty) but the beats were familiar and good. These were beats that were produced and placed on other records so the idea that Beatz would have the audience associate it all with his songs is not surprising. He was banking on the likability of32010/09/14

  • I once asked if the legends in the game should continue to make music or fall back for the sake of the newcomers. I still believe that the legends should produce if they are capable and not force more garbage into the atmosphere. Cypress Hill seems to be pushing garbage. The album, Rise Up, is another flop that has decent music but is lyrically weak. There is little doubt of the rapping22010/08/31

    It’s Time For Cypress Hill To Be Shut Down

    What Is The Answer?

    The Answers would be yes another album from the group Blue October continues to show why this band has put out some great music. The Answers is another example of what this band can do and that is not disappointing listeners.

  • Another album from the strong catalog of Blue October, History for Sale proved to be worth the purchase. Very few bands remain consistent as they develop, and B.O. seems to be one of the few. This is a flashback into a past album and shows that the group that I fell for on Foiled was not a one album band.12010/08/19

  • Ever since Michael McCary left the group the fellas seemed to have slowed down, but they've managed to hold on to their Philly smoothness that catapulted them into the spotlight.
