The Beatles

Capitol, 2000

For My Girlfriend.
There has long been a myth in popular culture that you are either an Elvis person or a Beatles person. Well, barring the fact that this notion ignores a number of incredible artists who have not much in common with either entity, it seems to be more or less true, at ...

Juno

Matt Messina

Rhino Records, 2008

A Good Kind Of Quirky
The JUNO SOUNDTRACK is off beat and zany, but it is great fun to listen to. This CD is enjoyed by everyone in my family: my husband, 11 year old daughter, 3 year old daughter, and me. It is one of our favorite CDs to listen to in the car, and since we all have such ...

Let It Be

The Beatles

Capitol, 1990

What else can be said....?
Okay, let's face it this is The Beatles last studio recording and it still holds up today! The truth about this group is that for those who actually saw them or even heard them during their short but triumphant time in the music biz there has never been a group that ...

Revolver [UK]

The Beatles

Capitol, 1998

ALCEU NATALI'S CLASSIC ALBUMS:... AND ON THE 7TH DAY GOD REVOLVED HIS VINYL PLAYER.
For my definition of 'classic' albums please refer to my review of 'Heaven Or Las Vegas' by the Cocteau Twins. If The Beatles had ended their career with the album "Help", they would still remain the best pop and rock band of all time. But that was not meant to ...

Across The Universe [Deluxe Edition]

Original Soundtrack

Interscope Records, 2007

wonderful music!!!!
if you love the Beatles, then you will love this CD. its so wonderful and every song is completely different...modern with a Beatles twist, Bono is great, as well as Eddie Lizzard. voices are soothing and easy to listen to. definitely a great CD and a great movie.

Abbey Road

The Beatles

Capitol, 1990

Abbey Road
For me, Abbey Road is the Beatles' masterpiece. The Beatles were the Beatles because, while they embraced rock, they also transcended it...attaining a kind of lyrical quality that few, if any, from the Rock era achieved...and Abbey Road is the ultimate manisfestation ...

Love

The Beatles

Capitol, 2006

Beatles/LOVE CD
CD was in great shape, shipping was fast. Was happy with what I paid for the CD. Will do it again. Thanks.

The Beatles (The White Album)

The Beatles

Capitol, 1990

The best album ever by anyone, including the Beatles.
This album is perfect, and it's imperfection makes it that way. If you could only own one album, this is it. It has it all. It's influence is incalculable. Sell everything you own, and just listen to this. Really.

Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band

The Beatles

Capitol, 1987

The greatest of the greats!
Frankly, the album has obviously secured itself the "classic" title. Honestly, how could it not? While many feel it to be over-rated and pretentious, the impact it had on pop-culture, and the impact it continues to have, is simply massive. It is a fair assumption that ...

August Rush: Music From The Motion Picture

Various Artists

Sony Panosonic, 2007

One of the Best Movies and Soundtracks of the Last Ten Years.
Having watched August Rush at least 15-20 times, the music is forever ingrained in my memory. I saw it three times in the theatre and bought it immediately when it came out on DVD. It took me the better part of a year to buy the soundtrack, but once I did (last ...

Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (1978 Film)

John Lennon, Paul McCartney, ...

Polydor / UMGD, 1998

Just Another Review
I liked this album and the movie. It may not be the best movie ever made, nor was this the best album ever made; however being a fan of the artists who worked on the project I'm a fan. 100%. Yes the movie was cheesy I'll give it that, but who cares. Personally, ...

Sweeney Todd The Demon Barber Of Fleet Street Deluxe - Complete Edition

Stephen Sondheim, Paul Gemignani, ...

Nonesuch, 2007

A good modern take on a classic
"Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street" is in my opinion Sondheim's greatest work and is an indisputable masterpiece. The 2007 Film Soundtrack featuring Johnny Depp as Sweeney Todd and Helena Bohman Carter as Mrs Lovett is a unique, fresh recording which makes ...

Instant Karma: The Amnesty International Campaign to Save Darfur

John Lennon

Warner Bros / Wea, 2007

classic songs with a fresh twist
it is obvious it is lennons music that makes this concept work the artists are suited to the songs the choice of songs also suit the mission for Darfur if i wanted it to sound just like lennon i could have bought another lennon cd i have the ability to enjoy this ...

Across the Universe

Trip Shakespeare

A&M, 1990

Snow Days
This album contains one amazing little gem called Snow Days. It's absolutely inspired, and that's why it's getting five stars. Plus the band's musicianship isn't bad. But their lyrics on every song except Snow Days are pretty hard to take. Sophomoric. Banal. Sometimes ...
