1. Tired Of Sex-Great guitar distortion, catchy tune 2. Getchoo-Best damn lyrics, and it would be really cool to play this song. 3. No Other One-A song about the length guys will go to for girls, brilliance. 4. Why Bother-Nice catchy tune 5. Across The Sea-A great song, just takes a while to get into. 6. The Good Life-My favorite on here as a little kid, kind of sillly but kind of true. 7. El Scorcho-You'll sing this one in the shower. 8. Pink Triangle-Weezer having a little fun, writing a kind of comedic and kind of sad song. 9. Falling For You-Reprise of el scorcho, nice song. 10. Butterfly-An excellent closer to a classic album. So if you like music, at all, you need this cd and Weezer's debut. If you look up good music in a dictionary there should be a picture of Weezer, Weezer are the epitomy of all that is good and this record is brilliant.

Introducing this album in 1998, it seems that the 90s were only for pop artists such as "Madonna", "Janet Jackson" and "Britney Spears". Massive Attack broke the ring of the pop, making Trip Hop the best, outstanding from every other genre there is.
Whew! 'Nuff said. Bye!

The coolest things about Interpol's songs is that they tend to develop and progress into nice endings. Obstacle 1, 2 and PDA are good examples of this. I can sort of understand the Joy Division comparisons since these songs have atmosphere, but I don't think there is the same level of innovation and synergy among the members of Interpol. This album is solid but not an "Unknown Pleasures," which definitely doesn't mean it isn't good. Fans of "Turn on the Bright Lights" should definitely check out that album. Hopefully these guys will stay together, continue to experiment and expand their ideas and instrumentation, and try out some interesting producers to work with on their next albums. I thought "Leif Erikson" was impressive and "Stella" very atmospheric and nice. ... Read more | |

1.Supervixen 7/10
The album opens with the punky, spiteful "Supervixen" -- a grand first impression of catty frontwoman Shirley Manson, who was all fluoresecent red hair and skin-tight leather. The song's herky-jerky, stop-go style is immediately engaging, and the ripping guitar riffs recall peak-era 80s new wave. Manson shows a more introspective lyrical and vocal style on the second track, "Queer," and even concots an immortal anthem while begging for antidepressants on "Only Happy When It Rains." She emulates pre-"Eat to the Beat" Debbie Harry on the metallic "Not My Idea" and mimics the wailing pensiveness of the Cranberries Dolores O'Riordan [now Burton] on "Fix Me Now" while still sounding like herself: a gothic, artsy chick. She even performs a self-exorcism in the rueful, brilliant "Stupid Girl." Garbage truly covers all the bases here, and their to-and-fro musical style doesn't sound dated, even today, 9 years later. They still carry the same spark and playful attitude they did years ago, and cross the line of rock to pop so often and so smoothly (and so much better than the crossover bands of today) that it's almost dizzying. Always familiar, always sarcastic, and always effective, Garbage will prove to be one of the greatest rock and roll bands of all time.

Amazon.com's Best of 1998 Reviews (272)
While some of his friends in bands like Apples (In Stereo) or Olivia Tremor Control dabbled in pretensious sound collages or 60's throwback songs, Magnum released one of the classic albums of the '90s. It's a collection of arresting solo accoustic songs and horn-filled "fuzz folk" tunes. Sounds wierd I know. But the strange thing is how well the diverse sounds of this album flow together. A quiet accoustic number like "2-Headed Boy" flows into a beautiful horn instrumental which morphs into the up-tempo lo-fi masterpiece "Holland, 1945." The lyrics hold everything together. Mangum has created something resembling a theme album revolving around World War II, Anne Frank and his own childhood. You get the feeling that this guy has a tenous grasp of reality, since the two subjects seem to blend together in his mind. The songs, taken as a whole, evoke a feel of dreamlike sadness. And if you're reading this thinking, "Ugh, a concept album about Anne Frank, how pretensious" it really isn't. Jeff is so heartfelt and honest, but not in an 'emo' way -- no weepy self-pity here. It's hard to believe an album of such maturity and honesty came from a man in his mid 20s. I know I'm rambling here but there's a lot I have to say about this album. It's not all good. People tend to overreact about "Aeroplane", I think because they feel such a strong emotional connection to Jeff's lyrics. Even though the things he sings about are very cryptic and surreal, you feel empathy and unity with the guy. But this often makes exaggerate how good it is. "Aeroplane" is not the best album of the 90's, Jeff Mangum is not the best musician today. That said, it's still an almost unbelievably emotionally arresting and intimate collection of songs that retain an E6 style accessability and catchiness. Be prepared for this album to effect your mood and also your musical taste. When I first bought it it was the only thing I listened to for at least a week. I'm stunned that this album just came out of the wood-work. While it might not be the best album of the '90's, its definitely one of the most interesting. Everyone who likes music should own it.
tracks: the king of carrot flowers pt 1- the song that got me hooked on NMH. the song reminds me of a fantasy land; it 's about an escape from reality, something we all need. the lyrics are heartbreaking and beautiful, as is the guitar. the king of carrot flowers pts 2 and 3- starts about with jeff crooning about jesus, and you can't be sure if he's serious or not... then the song breaks into hard, beautiful rock and fuzz guitar. uplifting, breaktaking, moving. the aeroplane over the sea- a song about a wonderful relationship. the lyrics are true and don't try to gloss over the harder aspects of life. great acoustic guitar. two headed boy- this song is, in a word, amazing. jeff magnum's voice soaring over the beautiful lyrics just takes me away to another place. this is how life is. this song is incredible. worth the entire price of the album alone. the fool- perfect followup to two headed boy. instrumental, wonderful horns and drums. holland 1945- i love this song! the lyrics are beautiful, telling a story of a girl in the holocaust. they are accented with heavy fuzz guitar and drums. this song is so upbeat, guarranteed to lift your mood. heartbreaking lyrics, but disguised by the music. communist daughter- simply breaks my heart. oh comely- seems to tell the heartbreaking story of a relationship in the holocaust. some of the most beautiful lyrics i've ever heard. in this song, sex is the most wonderful act on earth ("soft silly music is meaningful magical/the movements were beautiful/all in your ovaries)>. this song ends with the most moving line i've ever heard. ghost- like holland 1945, very uplifting, with fuzz guitar, horns, drums, and guitar. wonderful singalong. makes me happy! untitled (#10)- if you like bagpipes, this is for you. an automatic mood lifter. two headed boy pt 2- this song has some of the most beautiful lyrics i've ever heard. they hit home, hard. beautiful, haunting, moving... breaks my heart. get. this. album. change your life.

That said, a review should turn on what's there more so than what's not, and what's here is really quite good. Kicking off with their twin Andy Kaufman tributes ("Man on the Moon" and "Great Beyond"), "In Time" maintains a high-level of quality all the way through, making a strong case for R.E.M.'s already secured place in the rock pantheon. Is it a perfect collection? This reviewer would say, no. This is not just because of missing personal favorites ("Half a World Away" and "World Leader Pretend") but also for the aforementioned lack of balance between how albums are represented here. It's hard to argue that "Up" or even "Automatic for the People" are really that much better than "Monster" or "Out of Time." Then again, any compilation reflects the bias of its makers, just as a listener's reaction to it reflects theirs. By any objective standard, though, "In Time" is a good attempt to give a feel of what post-IRS Records R.E.M. is about. Plus, it sounds really good with the volume up.

..And yet, I can still pop War into my stereo and enjoy it for the great album that it is. U2's finest album shows an angry and energized band, pounding away with passion, demanding change and at the same time pleading for peace. Opening with the fiery percussion and Edge's snarling guitar on Sunday Bloody Sunday and New Year's Day (U2's best songs), and ending with the relative calm of the Psalm-based "40," War is a powerful political and religious statement without ever resorting to self-righteous excesses. Aside from the aforementioned tracks, other highlights include The Refugee, Seconds, and Two Hearts Beat As One. The only track that is a bit weak might be Surrender, which runs a bit long for what it is. Still, any one of the 10 cuts on War is better than anything on The Joshua Tree by a country mile. This is the only U2 album I can reccommend. I didn't like Joshua Tree or Achtung Baby!, they are dull pop rock records. War is anything but--it's stinging, intense, and engaging. Even if you can't stand U2 in its present incarnation, this album deserves your ear.
Each song on the record reminds us of the self-destructiveness of society. The first song, 'Sunday, Bloody Sunday' borrows its name from two Irish massacres, and it is frequently mistaken as a 'rebel' song. Yet, when one analyzes the lyrics, it delivers a plea for the end of the continuous violence in Northern Ireland, and the world. The following song, 'Seconds' (Bono rests his voice here and The Edge takes the lead on this one.), sings of the horrors of nuclear warfare and acknowledges how quickly it could all end - literally in 'seconds'. 'New Years Day' emphasizes the grim circumstances of war and hope's rapid rate of deterioration. 'Like A Song...' contains allusions to the Irish Civil War and reflects the reluctance to participate in another conflict again. 'Drowing Man' is the tale of a dying man struggling to reunite with his love. The fast-paced 'The Refugee' tells two stories of a young woman ready to leave her homeland and of a young man enthusiastic about fighting although not knowing exactly why. Despite the preceeding melancholy songs, 'Two Hearts Beat as One' talks of the bewilderment of love and 'Red Light' speaks of the confused nature of a relationship. 'Surrender' sings of giving into change and the album ends on a rather optomistic note with "40" (based on Psalm 40). In the eyes of any U2 fanatic 'War' would be considered one of the finest masterpieces they have ever produced. Bono's singing, The Edges signature guitar method, Adam Clayton's bass technique and Larry Mullen Jr.'s militant styled drumming are all at one of their heights in 'War'. No U2 collection is complete without the! edition of 'War'.
"War" is an album which takes U2's anger at the fighting in their homeland of Ireland and turns it into music. It's quite good if you're in the mood for some edgy rock! This album, particularly "Sunday, Bloody Sunday", is mostly very serious. If you're not the kind of person who likes really hard, serious rock, and you don't already know much U2, you might not warm up to this very quickly. Any other U2 album will be a lot easier on you if you're a beginner. If you're a huge fan, though, get it anyhow. It's a must-listen for a U2 buff, no matter what! Also, if you even like any rock music at all, you're sure to find a few tracks you like even if you don't like the whole album. I can't imagine anyone not liking at least two or three songs! If you ever see U2 labelled as "Christian Rock", it's because of some of the material on this album. Rest assured all you non-Christians, that is a misrepresentation and a misunderstanding of the material. The religious overtones of this album come from the nature of the conflicts that U2 are singing about here. The bombings in Ireland that made U2 so angry were all because of religious fighting. The song "40" is actually just a psalm, I think. From Psalm 40! If you want more information on this stuff you can simply do a search for something like: Ireland bombings. You're sure to get all kinds of information on it. There's nothing to be afraid of here with regard to lyrics. It's all very relevant to things which continue to go on in the world today; one of U2's strong points has always been the ability of their music to remain relevant well beyond the date of it! Now, if you're still not quite sure whether or not to get this album, I'd suggest trying to get ahold of the songs "Two Hearts Beat as One" and "The Refugee". I find that these are the two most accessable songs, and if you get accustomed to the sound of them then you ought to be able to get used to and like the whole album. Verdict: A very good album which does exactly what it sets out to do. If you like U2 or edgy rock music, get it immediately.
This is, generally speaking, where the "U2" the general public is familiar with, begins. On this record, U2 found both their musical niche and their political voice, with such classics as 'Sunday Bloody Sunday' and 'New Year's Day'. This was, and still is, U2's angriest record, and it shows, with songs like the previously mentioned ones, as well as the lesser-known hits, 'Two Hearts Beat As One' and 'Surrender', the unheralded classics 'Like A Song' and 'Drowning Man', and the song that would go on to close U2's shows in the 80s, '"40"'. This was a young, energetic, angry, rebel group, stripped of the innocence of "Boy". This was U2's first masterpiece, which is saying something since, as only their third record, is a better record than some bands ever make, and it really opened the door for them to become even bigger, even greater. For, make no mistake, this was also STILL a very hungry band as well. ... Read more | |

The First Weezer record is a fine one.Really is. Period. Not a GREAT ONE. The 2nd, well.....not too good...but the 3rd one....What a grat album is the Green Album! A short one, passionate, delightful...Breathless, hit and hit, one great song after another great song. A work of genius.
Rivers was partly right, it did sell lots and lots of copies that were soon sold to used record stores across the country, for good reason too. There are two good songs on here, Oh Girlfriend! and Island In The Sun, but neither come close to comparing with anything off the blue album or Pinkerton for that matter. The album sounds all pleasant too, which sounds all fake and stuff because you know Weezer can't be happy because their nerds and there is no way. They're supposed to be all gloomy and doomy. Then they have all these lame RAWK songs like Hash Pipe which again aren't Weezer's forte. Yeah, Weezer from here on out suck. ... Read more | |
