Now I have purchased "The Very Best of Elvis Costello" & for once I can say this album absolutely lives up to it's title! In 2 CD's we have an overview of the extraordinary career of one of the most prolific & multi-faceted songwriters of our time. It's wonderful! Everything is here, from the chilling "Watching the Detectives" & supersonic "Lipstick Vogue" of the early albums thru the jazz & country-tinged experiments of the late 80's up to his latest collaborations with the Brodsky Quartet & Burt Bacharach. There isn't a single song that tempts me to hit the "forward" button on my CD player. Curiously, Rhino has opted to put the material in a non-sequential order. Most greatest hits collections start with the earliest songs, working their way up to the latest. "The Very Best of..." was organized by someone who had their mind on creating an emotional mood rather than a history of the artist. Although normally I prefer the time-line approach, in this casse it works quite well. If you want to hear the developement of Costello's song-writing, Rhino has included original release dates in the credits so that you can sequence your own order. Other than song titles & lists of musicians, this is about all the information you will discover inside the jewel case. This is about the only weakness I can find to this package. Personally I would have preferred some type of liner notes included. If you only own 1 Elvis Costello album, make it "The Very Best of..." . I guarantee you won't regret it!
one has to admit, however, that the more ballad-centric second disc is far, far weaker than the more energetic first disc. if i'd done the compilation, i think i would have scrambled the chronology a bit to even things out.

1.Life on Standby-9/10- One of the heavier tracks, and it works. 10.Sandpaper and Silk-8/10-also forgettable, but a very good track. Overall, this cd is definately worth the 12 bucks. HH have put together 11 amazingly catchy songs here that won't dissapoint.

Bleed American: very guitar driven. good riff too. 9/10 It's a great album. It's a good song to blast while you're driving or playing sports. Not as good as Clarity but it's a great album.

Make sure you add this to your collection- "...untill the...END"
This collection does however feature good remastering.
Despite being famously frugal with my dollar, I do not for a moment regret "upgrading" my previous best-of collection with this incredibly excellent one. Top group, their top songs, huge quantity, incredible sound quality, and a good price. Go for it!

Blink-182 goes in a new direction with their latest release. Their lyrics are more mature and the themes very serious compared to sarcastic and dirty stuff on earlier albums. Each track is a standout, but here are my top 5: 1. Feeling This 3. I Miss You 6. Down While this is a serious album, especially considering Blink182's past work, it is a fantastic piece of experimental music and really rocks. Never gets old.
Obvious: Dark song. Probably trhe darkest on the album. Really reflected off Boxcar Racer. Probably my favorite tarck on the album 10/10 I Miss You: Good song. I love Mark using a stand up jazz style bass. The lyrics are great.8/10 Violence: Awesome chorus. Maybe one of the best Blink-182 chorus's ever. I love the synthesizer in the begging of the song. Totally out there. The bridge really gets you thinking. A great song. Stockholm Syndrome:Awesome. I love songs where Tom and Mark share lyrics. This is a really good one. 9/10 Down: I love the guitar intro. The lyrics are also great. Very good song. 8/10 The Fallen Interlude: Weird song. I like the whole jazz feel to it. Not Blink at all but it's good. 7/10 Go: Tom's right, this song should be played really loud. Its a short song but is a great one. 9/10 Asthenia: Excellent guitar intro. Tom has some great guitar lines of the cd and this definatly has one of the better ones. Awesome lyrics. 10/10 Always: Great lyrics. I love the verses in the song. 8/10 Easy Target: This song reminds me a lot of The Offspring. It's a great song. 9/10 All of This: I love the Cure. Robert Smith is amazing. This is a great track and is definatly something different from regular Blink-182 Heres Your Letter: Good song. This sounds like other songs Mark has sung in past albums. 8/10 I'm Lost without you: Awesome. Definatly a sad song. The drum solo at the end with Travis playing two drum sets and recording them over eachother is amazing. The lyrics are outstanding. 10/10 This is my review on the new Blink-182 self titled album. Tom Delonge displays his best performance on both guitar and vocals. He really did a great job. It is definatly something you should look into. By the way you should also check out their new song entitled "Not Now." It's my new favorite song. There is a great drum line and excellent guitar and lyrics. This song is an instant 10/10.
Anyway, on with the review! Blink really showed that a band can really change and mature, not to mention make a greater album. The songs main feature is "Feeling This" which is a great introduction to the cd. The darker,angst, feel really gave this band a 1 up, their immature stuff has gotten reapeative over the past years. Each track was carefully produced in different locations to give each track a "different" feel to each song. Such a good idea! All in all, blink-182 has matured, greatly and fluently, not to mention create a wonderful, tasteful, album that anybody can enjoy ... Read more | |

To put it bluntly, the title says it all- GREATEST HITS collects nineteen of the biggest hits Blondie has scored from 1976 to 1999. Besides including their biggest hits on both sides of the Atlantic- "Heart of Glass"; "Call Me"; "The Tide Is High"; "Rapture"- this collection also includes lesser-known US hits ("Dreaming," "One Way or Another," "Atomic"); songs that only became hits in the UK ("Sunday Girl," "(I'm Always Touched By Your) Presence Dear," "Maria") and standout album tracks ("X Offender," "Rip Her to Shreds", "In the Flesh"). So basically, every essential hit and album track that Blondie scored during their career is here (with the exception of the UK hit "War Child," which is barely a loss at all). Hardcore fans will likely have a personal favorite or two missing, but GREATEST HITS pretty much tells everything a casual fan needs to know about one of the greatest new wave bands. If there is any complaint about this collection, it's that upon listening, it may seem that more than one group is being represented, for GREATEST HITS does not sum up all of Blondie's styles into one effective mix. That may actually be nitpicking, but casual fans should still consider purchasing THE BEST OF BLONDIE instead, for not only does it focus on the very best of Blondie (and for the record, everything from BEST OF BLONDIE is on GREATEST HITS), but its nonchronological sequencing actually works so that it showcases only one group- a group that was seemingly consistent. But if you want to get virtually every essential Blondie hit and album track on one collection, then you should purchase GREATEST HITS.
THE SONGS Call Me- One of my favorites!!! Also the theme from American Gigolo. (which happened to be a great movie) One Way Or Another- Truly a great ROCK N' ROLL SONG! Heart Of Glass- A true gem!!! One of Debbie's finest songs. The Tide Is High- A happy summertime beach song! FUN!!! X Offender- Classic as always!!! Hanging On The Telephone- A great punk-rock tune! Rip Her To Shreds- Reminds me of some of the girls at my school. Rapture- I think Debbie can rap!!! Atomic- You can really dance to this one!!! Or at least I think so!!! Picture This- A nice sweet song thats likeable. In The Flesh- Sounds like something out of the 50s. But its a great song!!! Denis- Gotta Love Denis! (I'm Always Touched By Your) Presence Dear- Not my favorite, but I like it. Union City Blue- A great vocal performance!!! The Hardest Part- Loved It!!! She Can Sing!!! Island Of Lost Souls- Catchy tune! Sunday Girl- Love the French! Maria- Another true pop gem!!! Blondie is a band! (A great one I might add) And I am so glad they made such enjoyable music! Thanks!!! Peace Out!!! Blondie Is: Debbie Harry | |

This album is incredibly poppy, probably the most so in my collection. It's a very good album for Avril fans who want to progress onto "harder" (hah) stuff, but not great for people with my music tastes (my favorite, and very cool, bands include Midtown, Sugarcult, Good Charlotte, Green Day, Blink182, MxPx, etc). Pierre's voice is very juvenile and high, but, unlike Jordan from New Found Glory (who has about the same voice range), he often gets annoying. You just kind of want to make him shut up. The musicianship is nothing great--not horrible, but not masterfully done either. The lyrics sound kind of like a very G-rated Blink182--however, taking away the gross, raunchy factor which makes Blink so much fun just leaves some kind of dull slush. I honestly hope that Simple Plan wrote these songs, and didn't hire a lyricist to write them. Otherwise, the lyricist should be shot for daring to be a "professional". Also, in my opinion, the backup vocals and Pierre's voice don't really blend well. Granted, this band has some good points. "Perfect" is a nice, sad song with a good chorus. And I've heard they're awesome live. Unfortunately, they're touring with Avril Lavigne, who stinks live (or so I've heard). Overall, this is a very poppy "punk" band, who has a very manufactured song. For TRL listeners, this is a good CD if you want "harder" stuff than what normally plays on the radio. However, for people who like Blink182 and harder pop-punk, try Good Charlotte's CD The Young and the Hopeless. That CD is much better lyrically and musically than this one, and well worth your money.
P.S. BLAME CANADA!

Unknown Pleasures and Closer are the ones that always seem to end up of the best albums list but this one seems a better single album to me than either of those. First of all, this one has more music than the others. Secondly, it concentrates on their singles which were the most accessible and most instantly likeable of their recordings. A pretty good dance record too in an alterno goth sort of way. Highlights for me are Warsaw (a wonderfully typical slice of 70s British punk), Digital (a great primitive mosh pit kind of number), She's Lost Control (a gloomy disco classic), the tortured Dead Souls, and the beautiful Atmosphere. All this and Love Will Tear Us Apart, too! This is a must have and you'll love this album even more with time.
I bought this as my first JD CD and I couldn't be happier. I popped it in for the first time and it kept me interested the whole way through. This is not a CD that's up and down really at all. Every single track has something to offer. I don't own any other JD albums yet but I plan to buy Closer and Unknown Pleasures soon, and I have Substance to thank for that. Buy this!
Actually the weak points of the album come from the songs that are more similar to the stuff on their albums. Songs like "Autosuggestion" drag because you can tell that the band hasn't yet perfected their song, and it's still a work in progress. However, the album has the two greatest Joy Division songs ever written, "Atmosphere" and "Love Will Tear Us Apart" the insanely popular British song. Other slip ups on the album include "Novelty" and "Komakino" probably because they are very similar to previous songs on the album except not as good. It was a great idea to end the song with "These Days" which is both a great song and a perfect closer. I'd say if you want a good introduction to Joy Division go with Unknown Pleasures.
I am reviewing (and recommending) this record because if someone out there wants and introduction to Joy Division, they would be hard-pressed to get a better deal than the well-priced Substance LP. Sure, if you've got the dough go ahead and pony up for the beautifully realized box set (designed by Factory Records mainstay, Peter Saville). Substance has all the singles that any American has probably heard on any good jukebox. Atmosphere, Love Will Tear Us Apart and She's Lost Control are all here and sound great for a 1988 release. You'll get a better recording on the box set versions, but that's your 60 bucks compared to your 11 bucks. The main draw of substance is, like the box set, the nice mix of tunes from the band's brief and brilliant time together. A task not as easliy done as one might think. Some of the best bits, are earlier, yet rougher tracks like, Warsaw. The band were finding their sound and making new incredible music all at the same time. Later songs, like Love Will Tear Us Apart, are far more polished, and a bit more accessible to the masses, but none-the-less, great. All in all, this is a great addition to any post-punk, brit-punk, alternative, indie music fans' collection. I give it my highest praise, and I think you might too. ... Read more | |

This album is really good, I have to say. Currently my favorites are "Heroin," "There She Goes Again," "The Black Angel's Death Song," and "All Tomorrow's Parties." This is subject to change upon my next hearing, which will be in probably ten minutes. I can't get enough of this album. I really dislike the ones who claim this CD is no big deal; nearly all the albums I like are called "overrated" and such. R.E.M.'s "Murmur," for instance. (Coincidentally R.E.M. covered three Velvet Underground songs and released them.) These songs are perfect, entertaining and enjoyable. I'm not one to look at it from an "artsy-fartsy" viewpoint; as I was and am no great admirer of Andy Warhol. For me, "Velvet Underground & Nico" is a great rock/early-alternative record. It surprised me that it was possible to enjoy it from my view, as it was produced by Andy Warhol. I'm just guessing he had good taste in music. "Overrated," my [behind]. This album truly deserves all the respect it gets.
"Sunday Morning" is a twinkling, light pop song which leads into the bluesy rocker "I'm Waiting for the Man." "Femme Fatale" is one of those classic rock songs, but it is nothing compared to the majestic "Venus in Furs." When people were saying all you need is love, Lou Reed wrote this magnificent song about bondage. It is melodic and beautiful but also dark and eery. "Run Run Run& | |
