On the Other Side is an album of happy songs--"Get Happy," "Make Someone Happy," "Happy Talk," etc.--but isn't always so chipper in contemplating life and love. Indeed, it's difficult to imagine Tierney Sutton, one of whose calling cards as a jazz singer is her intensity, letting herself go--consider her inclusion of "Haunted Heart" at the middle of the album as a reflection of that. But in the cozy embrace of her working band, including the fine pianist Christian Jacob and two bassists, Sutton excels at exploring different shades of feeling, boosted by a guest turn by the ebullient veteran trumpeter and singer Jack Sheldon. Her somber dark tones, which bring her contemporary Patricia Barber to mind, are offset by a llilting catch in her voice that may remind you of Diana Ross. Ultimately, you wish her delivery was less cooly detached, but she has a winning ability to make the familiar new, as heard on two creative pairings of "Get Happy" and "Happy Days Are Here Again." --Lloyd Sachs

"On the Other Side".......2007-07-12

After reading her views on "happy", and her perspective on reaching for "happiness", etc., on the CD's notes, I had a better feel for the meaning and delivery of her great message............ that came through all the more clearly, because of her great voice.

songs to put you in a mood.......2007-07-07

Ms. Sutton's style and choice of songs puts me in the mood to be part of that joyous and sophisticated semi-mythical group "New York Cafe Society."

Just great.......2007-06-08

Just great - This is the minimum I can say about this CD.

Tierney is better cd after cd

Nice addition to the Sutton archive.......2007-05-24

Tierney Sutton distinguishes herself as a unique presence among the welter of contemporary female jazz vocalists. She has it all: flawless intonation, soulful delivery, and an extraordinary sense of how to spring a rhythm. Combine those attributes with her penchant for the eclectic songbook, and Sutton dwells in ethereal company with the likes of Cassandra Wilson.

Sutton's new CD, The Other Side, makes a strong thematic statement. It consists mostly of traditionally upbeat songs such as "Get Happy," "Happy Days are Here Again," and "Make Someone Happy" and gives them a pensive, ballad-like treatment. Given Sutton's energy and her band's restless probing, none of the tunes comes off as lugubrious, but a sequential listening of the entire CD is likely to jade the senses of even the most devoted Sutton fan.

The best approach is to ignore the programmatic intent and focus on the truly remarkable numbers: "Haunted Heart" derails expectations in offering the most conventional of vocal lines over an atypical and initially incongruous accompaniment. But the tension between the vocal and the rhythm lines finds resolution at various points along the way. This radical treatment of such a well-entrenched classic is risky, but finally compelling. Another standout, "Get Happy (Version 2)," features stunning work from pianist Jacob Christian and drummer Ray Brinker. In "Happy Talk," Sutton improvises some of her best scat to date.

In a November concert, Sutton told her audience, "Basically, we take a song and work it until it's unrecognizable." Usually, that experimental impulse makes the break toward freer interpretations. Not this time. Most of these pieces are restrained and subdued. Their tone is the antithesis of their message. But the formula works for most of the numbers, and the CD marks another significant milestone in Sutton's evolution as a unique voice.

The Greatest Female Singer of Our Generation..........2007-04-15

...And the most interesting trio working today-- that's the full package presented by The Tierney Sutton Band. Ms. Sutton's voice is the fourth instrument in what is in reality a quartet. In partnership with the incredible Christian Jacobs, Ray Brinker and Trey Henry and Kevin sharing bass, Tierney has produced a collection of songs of singular quality that demand your full attention. The addition of Jack Sheldon only adds to the importance of the CD. This band has deep roots with Jack Sheldon, and Sheldon is a major jazz figure who is consistantly overlooked for reasons that befuddle the muscians who have played with him or heard him play. He's a jazz master as well as showman, and I adore Tierney for including him on this master work. Play it loud, play it often. Buy as many copies as you can afford. We need to encourage the recording industry to make more Tierney Sutton Band recordings.

Only in America could an album like this have come together: Eva Cassidy, a young vocalist who, had she lived, might have gone on to become her generation's favorite song interpreter, trading verses with Chuck Brown, seasoned godfather of the D.C. underground funk movement known as go-go. By the time this was recorded in 1992, the go-go trend had long since peaked for Brown, while the twentysomething Cassidy was still an unknown local session vocalist. Yet, on this set of standards, the two collaborate as if they were picking up where they'd left off decades earlier, from easy-riding versions of "Let the Good Times Roll" and "Gee Baby, Ain't I Good to You" to near-definitive renditions of "Over the Rainbow" and "Dark End of the Street." And while it's easy to focus on the posthumously acclaimed Cassidy, Brown's haunting solo turn on "You Don't Know What Love Is" suggests that unjustly overlooked talents are still making music in the shadows of our nation's capital. --Bill Forman

Customer Reviews:

Is It Just Me?.......2007-06-12

Probably. I'm assuming no one could be so apparently tacky that there must be a meaning to this album's title beyond the obvious. If so, it's over my humble head.

As to the music itself... The Eva Cassidy movement is so fervent it's tough to criticize anything she's ever done, but this is a very mixed collection of cuts that doesn't really even belong inside one jewel box. Three or four absolute pearls in a slurry of tired standards performed so perfunctorily they sound like they were taped on the Catskills circuit in the 1950s. Nothing wrong with Eva's voice, or Chuck Brown's for that matter, but you can smell the mothballs on much of the song selection and non-arrangements.

2 1/2 stars for the pearls.

Gives you chills ~! .......2007-04-26

Eva's voice is so pure and pristine . It will give you chills and goosebumps every time you hear it .
She truly was the greatest female singer ever - her passion and pathos is unparalled . Her rendition of " God Bless the Child" is the best ever ! It will bring tears to your eyes .

This pairing is incredible - I have always been a sucker for a good duet and these two are superb and the musicians are first rate also . I guarantee you will love this gem of a CD !

Magic.......2006-08-27

Only some eighteen months ago did I hear about Eva from a young lady serving in a record store but already she is my favourite female artist. Her range is fantastic and to borrow the words from another reviewer (as I am not good at this) she has a "mix of aching clarity and rich warmth". In this particular album which is one of my very favourites she and Chuck Brown collaborate in an amazing way. They are just so amazingly excellent together and I thoroughly recommend all of the songs. Eva pounds it out but there are moments when her sensitivity and warmth also shine through. Chuck has a deep rich voice and I hope he does more of this type of work.

Outstanding Recording - Flawless Performance.......2006-05-03

This is one of the best CD's in my collection. It's great pleasure to listen to world class musicians who can do it all and hats off to the audio engineers to capture this timeless material. Chuck Brown is one of the best blues singers I have heard and Eva Cassidy - a huge talent. If you are considering this CD, you have come to the right place. You will be very happy about your purchase.

Eva? Simply the Best.......2004-06-23

Eva Cassidy? I have all her albums. This was the first one- and my favorite. There aren't enough superlatives in the language to describe the talent this woman had. I am seventy-two years old, and I have listened to all the great ladies of jazz for sixty of those years. Although there are some good young jazz voices around these days, Eva had no peers. She was a great artist who belongs at the top with Ella, Sarah, and Billie. I lament her passing, and treasure the recordings she left us. The duets with Chuck Brown are outstanding.

On its seventh album--and first without founding member Brian "Head" Welch--Korn makes a few changes and gets on with proving that it's still a viable force within the world of heavy rock. The venerable veterans lean on outside help from the songwriting team of the Matrix and producer Atticus Ross (Nine Inch Nails). The end result is that this is a big change for Korn and one that will garner large shares of message board controversy on wether this album is more industrial than nü. The band is at its deftest on "Getting Off," "Politics" and "Coming Undone," which highlight the industrial bend. Stalwart fans need not worry for "Liar" and "For No One" remain in lock-step with classic Korn. One need not listen to the full hour-plus to discover flaws. Its center becomes weighed down with bland mid-tempo numbers and the final song detracts from the powerhouse close the record might have had they ended with "Interlude #3/I've Seen It All." Still, Korn has demonstrated that it's capable of weathering the storm and emerging with an album that will carry them onward. -- Jedd Beaudoin

Album Description

With such daring new songs as "Twisted Transistor," "Politics," and "Love Song" among others, it's clear that KoRn--Jonathan Davis, James "Munky" Shaffer, Fieldy and David Silveria--have opened the doors to even more creativity and disarray. And no one does "disarray" like KoRn. The result is the most revolutionary KoRn album since their debut, a barb-wired, bastard son of blinding musical fury, dark and twisted lyrical candor, and searing, sociopathic tendencies. It's the culmination of everything KoRn have come to represent musically, morphed with an industrial-strength alter ego that's been suppressed--until now. "See You On The Other Side" is more than the evolution of KoRn--it's an evolution of heavy.

Customer Reviews:

excellent album.......2007-06-04

Despite missing a guitarist this album is suprisingly good. Each song is good. Now that the drummer is also on hiatus it might be time for Korn to pull the plug instead of milking the cow until theres nothing left.

The weak link in the Korn music catalog........2007-05-31

"Twisted Transistor" is kind of a cool song, and there are a handful of other songs on here that are pretty good, like "Coming Undone", "Politics", and "Souvenier", but I don't know if I like this stripped down, industrial sound that they have tried on. It has some moments, but overall, I was unimpressed with it. Stick to earlier Korn if you are just discovering them, and if you buy it, plan on being surprised by the new musical direction.

Korn's changing, but they still good.......2007-03-23

I thought the album was alright. I kind of preffer their other styles, but this album was alright. It's just that usually bands change and start to burn out a tad, and it's not always easy to keep up with facinating ideas, so I still give them credit.It seems that every album they have realeased has been good. Not all bands are like that, usually they'll run out ideas and change terribly, not Korn! SEE YOU ON THE OTHER SIDE doesn't suck, it's just simply not there best album that's all. I liked twisted transister, hypocrits, souvenere, coming undone, and liar.

Korn is still creative.......2007-03-01

I think that the artistic prowess of some bands tends to be affected by changes, and Korn has gone through some. Korn still provides a reliable source of good heavy music while not compromising the underlying dynamics of the "sound" of the namesake. I like the way Johnathan still relates to the raw animal relationships of men and women. His feeling and description still pour through the sound and lyrics of some of the best songs on the album. Having been a long time Korn listener, and my appreciation of how artists evolve and change, I am not disappointed in the least. This is the first Korn album I have bought in 8 years, and I think it offers a helluva lot more than any Marilyn Manson album ever has, and comparatively speaking the last couple of Tool albums as well. At least Johnathan hasn't gone drag.

Following up on the release of his debut CD, The Voice, Russell Watson is back with Encore, another mix of opera favorites and popular songs. By now Watson has become virtually a household name--he sells out large concert venues and remains on the top-seller charts. On Encore, we find Puccini and Verdi sharing the billing with Lulu and Lionel Ritchie on the CD's 16 tracks, which range from the much-loved Bach-Gounod "Ave Maria" to "Where My Heart Will Take Me," the theme for Enterprise (the latest Star Trek TV series). Indeed, a more fitting title might have been The Voices, since Watson explores opera, sacred works, film, television themes, and pop songs. The orchestral arrangements on tracks such as "Va, Pensiero" may not win him any fans from the opera contingency, but Watson reveals a captivating sound on pop ballads, including "You Are So Beautiful" and "Somewhere." If you enjoyed The Voice, you're certain to want an encore. --Rebecca Agnew

The book is wonderful. I love playing their music, its so great. Worth the money, no doubt.

Amazing..........2006-05-05

Russell Watson is amazing. It is truly a delight to hear him sing both the pop and the arias, for he performs both equally well. His rendition of Volare is very fun, and when he sings Somewhere, it's simply breathtaking. His duet with Lionel Richie was also splendid. They really did sound fantastic together. The two low points for me were The Prayer, because I couldn't stand Russell's duet partner, Lulu, and Don't Know How I Got By, because the song just didn't seem to suit Russell's voice. However, the other tracks more than make up for those few inferior selections. Russell Watson truly is a talented man, and I highly recommend this album.

Godsmack CD "The Other Side".......2007-02-24

I first listened to this CD in a local sport's bar. The bartender discovered that I had just retired from the military and he wanted me to listen to the CD his son had sent him. His son is serving over in Iraq.
I normally listen to XM radio, the Spanish stations or Frank's Place. Godsmack is not the music I would normally purchase. However, the group has a very deep appealing sound. I actually bought the CD for a friend of mine who is deployed over in the Persian Gulf - I thought if his son who is in Iraq likes it, then perhaps the fighting men and women over there would also relate and enjoy this CD.

A so so collection.......2007-01-10

I was a bit dissapointed with this CD. Not much more to say.

Very Nice.......2007-01-07

This CD has a very nice sound...I was shocked when I first heard it, because I was used to Godsmack's edgier sound on the other albums. This album has acoustic versions of some of their best songs. The sound is AMAZING, though. If you love Godsmack, definitely check this out, I think you'll be pleasantly suprised. The quality of the recording is excellent - the acoustic guitar is perfectly balanced with the vocals. I love it.

My only advice: Don't buy it on Amazon. Because there are only seven tracks, paying the Amazon price seems like a waste of money. You can get it on iTunes for $6.99.

Best EP I own.......2006-08-03

This album is a really pleasant EP. And unlike others you won't regret buying this one. The acoustic guitars suite Erna Sully's voice. The rhythm and the speed are maintained perfectly. Touche and Voices are my favourite. Go on buy it if you have not yet got it

Excellent!!.......2006-07-05

I have just recently "discovered" Godsmack but am rapidly becoming a big fan. This album was a pleasant surprise, I absolutely love it!

A beautiful voice - wasted.......2007-07-10

I was introduced to Mary Fahl via October Project. I had never heard anything like them before or since and Fahl's voice is nearly beyond compare with anyone else, though as an earlier reviewer said, Annie Lennox and Carly Simon come close. I just don't think they have Fahl's range.
So, you can imagine after October Project's demise, I was looking forward to hearing more of Fahl. After-all, a voice like that just can't be silenced.
Too bad it wasn't - at least for the garbage on this album. Redemption is probably the only song that shows what she can do with her voice. The rest is just a waste of her talents. God, I certainly hope she does not go down the same road that Karen Carpenter did and make everything she sings sound like a funneral dirge. She's trying very hard with the muck written for this album to do just that. The writing credits alone should have been enough to give it away right there. HOW many people does it take to write ONE song? Apparently as many as want to have a say in it for this disaster. Listen, if you start getting more than two people tossing in their two cents worth on any one song, you had better consider not writing it, much less trying to sing it. It is going to sound like a collage of miss-matched ideas and influences. Gee - just like most of the music (if you can call it that) on this album! I certainly hope that Mary Fahl will be able to find another record label willing to take her on when her current one dumps her for this waste of money and resources - with the priviso of course that all she does is sing the songs a talented songwriter creates for her.

only 3 good song.......2007-01-11

still, october proyect is the best and her voice is the best, but this cd is not the greates but think about if you like her and then buy it.

Beautiful and Perfect.......2007-01-09

The more I listen to this cd the more I am entranced with it. I have enjoyed Mary Fahl's voice since October Project. I am eagerly awaiting some more new material. She has a very powerful and touching voice. I gain something new each time I listen to her voice, music and lyrics. Thank you Mary!

Emotional Voice.......2006-06-09

Since when the founder October Project came to an end, Mary's voice was already one one of the highlights of the band. And this is proved here. A very good debut album!

Style departure.......2005-08-14

Like previous reviewers, I too was sceptical about this CD."The
Great Unknown" seems to be an October Project track right off, billowing, inspiring and lush, you would never know the difference. It is my favorite. The rest of the songs really take a departure in style from what I am used to hearing from Mary. Though enjoyable, she seems to be searching for an audience. I hope she continues to put out sounds which can inspire and provoke thought in their writing without getting too sentimental. Pretty girl, great voice, don't let them change your style.

Still better than today's "music".......2007-06-18

TOSOL is not my favorite of the Moodies and it certainly is not their best work by far. Still, it's the Moody Blues, and even at their worst, they are better than 99% of the "stuff" being peddled today and labeled music.

I enjoyed Justin Hayward's Your Wildest Dreams, I just Don't Care, and The other Side of Life. Hayward and Lodge collaborated on Running out of Love and I love the song on all levels, especially their sweet harmony.
John Lodge's It May Be a Fire isn't my fave of his but it was a pleasant surprise as was Rock n Roll Over You.

This CD is for die-hard MB's completists or those who love 80's sounding music. The "core 7 MB only" folks probably hate this one. I love The Moodies and am willing to stick by them thru thick and thin. This CD isn't vintage Moody Blues, but hey it WAS the 1980's.

The beginning of the drum machine with acoustic guitar era.......2007-01-08

And now for all you Miami Vice fans The Moody Blues. I remember when this album came out as I still had high hopes for the band. Unfortunately, this would also mark the end for my hopes for this band. One of the Moodies strengths for me anyway was the band's ability to make what felt like organic music but with this album all that changed. The band's last album The Present hadn't sold as well as the band had hoped and also the band's label had now been taken over by Polygram. The idea was to come up with an album that would bring in new fans while still keeping the old. Enter new producer Tony Visconti who was most known for working with David Bowie. This album was also the first to feature no playing OR songwriting by Ray Thomas although he's shown in all the group photos and listed as a band member. This album did suceed in creating a new generation of fans thanks to the videos Your Wildest Dreams and The Other Side Of Life getting heavy airplay on MTV. In fact, both videos won MTV video awards. Rock And Roll Over You was featured in the Kirate Kid 2 movie. This was also the first tour the band did with many backup singers and additional musicians. As for the album itself sounds very processed and very 1986 if you know what I mean. There are a few good songs on here to be sure: Your Wildest Dreams, Running Out Of Love, Slings And Arrows, and It May Be A Fire. However, most of the rest is more than forgettible and some is even hard to listen to.

Moody Blues sell their soul.......2006-07-30

This album is pretty bad (Moody Blues wise), and hasn't aged very well. It's got a few good songs, "Wildest Dreams," "Running Out Of Love" & "The Other Side Of Life," but most of it is so far off track to what makes the Moody Blues magical. It sounds like they're using a drum machine instead of Edge, and there's no Ray Thomas to be found. It reminds me of what happened to another band called Heart; selling your musical soul to keep up with the times.

I remember buying this album along with Deep Purple's "House Of Blue Light" in early '87. I didn't really like either very much. Can you imagine, two of your favorite bands crumbling to the ugly sounds of the mid '80's. To this day, I still don't like this album, but Deep Purple's did grow on me. I guess Purple didn't sound so dated in hindsight, because of the fact they were using real drums and all five of their members were involved. But not the Moodies.

Anyway, the next Moody Blues album, 1988's "Sur La Mer," was a lot better, if you like that "80's sound." But, if you are looking for a really good follow up to 1981's "Long Distance Voyager," you need to find 1983's "The Present."

The Moodies go technopop...yikes!!!.......2006-03-28

For devoted Moody freaks, this album takes a little getting used to. When I first picked it up and listened to it in 1986, the first cut "Your Wildest Dreams" sounded like a sure winner for being a huge pop hit WHICH IT WAS, going all the way to #1 on the Billboard Adult Contemporary Chart, and peaking at #9 on the Billboard Pop chart. From there, the album takes a very unusual turn, and when I heard "Talkin' Talkin'", I about jumped out of my skin as I said to myself "Oh my God, the Moodies have gone technopop!!!" Then the next track "Rock And Roll Over You" (which was also included in the soundtrack of Karate Kid Part Two) left me feeling even more astonished and flabbergasted. The music then returns to "normal", with the ballad "I Just Don't Care", and "Running Out of Love", a song about being in a quandry of what to do with a fractured love relationship. The title cut is weird and spooky in its content, and the accompanying video (if you have ever seen it) is ten times as freaky. "Slings and Arrows" is a catchy track, with all the instruments falling into place one by one at the beginning of the song, while the remaining two tracks on the album, "The Spirit" and "It May Be A Fire" rank as average. Avid Moodies fans will find the best cuts here worth purchasing this album, but be prepared for a very different Moodies sound on a few of the tracks. Worthy of 3 1/2 stars.

Average.......2005-09-12

Although I love the Moody Blues, this is not one of my favorite albums by them. It's got some great songs, but also a few that I just don't like that well. Still worth having for a true fan, however.

The vocals are powerful and the production is rich on this TRULY amazing album! Any fan of grandiose, powerful, melodic power metal owes it to themselves to purchase this work of art. It's impressive that they were even able to follow up the classic "Somewhere Far Beyond" without a hitch! Buy this album, and let yourself float in the melodies, swim in the solos, bask in the grand vocals, and just enjoy yourself. You deserve this album.

AMAZING! A work of art!.......2006-12-05

Born in a mourning hall, and Mordred's Song are also superb. If you are a fan of metal you need to own this album. If you are a fan of power metal, you should already own it! add it your cart and checkout RIGHT NOW!!!

Power Metal Perfection.......2006-08-29

Just when we thought Blind Guardian couldn't possibly get any better, they hit us with 1995's Imaginations From the Other Side, which is arguably the best power metal album ever released. I know that's a bold statement, but I did say "arguably". I know there are more important power metal albums out there, and that Nightfall in Middle Earth is widely considered the best Blind Guardian album, but Imaginations is just so...powerful. No other power metal album has hit me quite like it, and I doubt any ever will.

Coming on the heels of the excellent Somewhere Far Beyond, Imaginations From the Other Side shows Blind Guardian perfecting their power metal style. All of the elements are in place - the fantasy-themed lyrics, epic song arrangements, blistering guitar riffs, and of course Hansi's unique and intensely powerful vocal delivery. Songs like I'm Alive, the Script for My Requiem, Born in a Mourning Hall, Bright Eyes, and the epic title track hit you like a heart attack, while ballad A Past and Future Secret leaves you amazed at the band's talent and versatility. There is not a weak moment on the entire album. Every song, and indeed the entire album, is power metal perfection.

Imaginations From the Other Side is nothing short of a must-have power metal album. Once you hear it, it will no doubt become the standard by which you judge all other power metal albums.

NOTE: This is the first Blind Guardian album since their debut not to feature a Kai Hansen guest appearance, but Pretty Maids vocalist Ronnie Atkins was on board providing background vocals.

NOTE 2: There are a couple of versions of Imaginations From the Other Side available. The NEMS version is my favorite, as it adds interesting demo versions of I'm Alive, A Past and Future Secret, The Script for My Requiem, and Imaginations From the Other Side as bonus tracks.

it took me years to appreciate this band..........2006-07-19

I'm not sure why. it's not like they are particularly esoteric or anything. I think it has something to do with the overall mindset I had in approaching Blind Guardian previously. my theory is that their rather unique style was not something I was able to appreciate without a paradigm shift. Realistically, one would have to call them power metal--their emphasis on vocals, melody, and speed is not uncommon to the genre. Yet, in being a metal band, it doesn't follow that they are a big riff, big guitar band - their music is unusually focused on vocal arrangement and melodic devices. The music, sure, is really chunky, pretty heavy, and very fast, but the guitars dominantly play a lead role. Guitar lines themselves are often charged with renaissance-flavored modalities that lends atmosphere and credibility to their fantasy-influenced sound more than they make wannabe metal-geeks (like me) want to suddenly learn how to play guitar. Recently, things changed - I can't get enough Blind Guardian, and I think this is their best album overall. Rather than trudge through obligatory review prose, I will catalogue the things that make Blind Guardian and this album awesome.

> First and foremost, Hansi Kursch is the best voice in metal, bar none. He is completely different from any other singer out there - rather than a high-pitched power metal tenor or brutish growling, Hansi's voice is raspy and sounds strained almost all the time. Few singers have either his range or power - his hair-raising screams are unmatched and his softer minstrel-like singing is honestly beautiful. _Imaginations from the Other Side_ is probably the last album where Hansi's raspiness is full on - his vocals started to sound a little more polished and `mature' after this album. Overall, this is Hansi's best performance. His scratchy, desperate tone delivers the most poignant metal lines ever: "What can I do on this road to nowhere at the edge of time (heart of dragon lies)" he implores with perfect viciousness on "And the Story Ends..."; "he's the one who took the sword out of the stone," he sings on "A Past and Future Secret" with a stirring, lilting bardic quality; "Agony's the script for my requiem" he snarls as the chorus of "The Script for My Requiem" kicks into high gear. Hansi is the Patrick Stewart of metal - he has a unique power to make any line sound amazing.

> Also vocal-related, the CHORUSES!!! Blind Guardian is the best in the business when it comes to the huge, multi-tracked vocal choruses. Every album Blind Guardian releases cranks the choruses up a few levels, but _Imaginations_ is the first album where those vocals were really, like, HUGE n' stuff. HAHAHA

> Blind Guardian would be nothing more than what they are without a few special qualities. One of the reasons they command so much drama in their music is that their sense of arrangement and structure is meticulous so as to really drive home the intensity and emotion in different tracks as the passage unfold. Sometimes it is as simple as throwing in a new bridge before the chorus. For example, the way every chorus gets more and more intense each time it appears in the song or the subtle addition of tubular bells to the blazing metalness - like on "Script for My Requiem" where bells chime alongside racing metal speed just before the final chorus kicks in (hang on to your chair). The complexity of the vocal arrangements, particularly on "Past and Future Secret", creates a lush effect alongside reeds and flutes and orchestral percussion with a modally-based acoustic guitar figure. In the solo section of "And the Story Ends", a brief shakti-like acoustic widdle appears with great effect (even if only for a matter of seconds - it's the little touches that often makes songs great).

> for any good album experience the first and last tracks are essential - the best albums often have both a killer opening and a killer finale. Here, the title track and "And the Story Ends..." are two of the best metal songs...EVER!!!

> _Imaginations from the Other Side_ straddles the line between Blind Guardian's earlier, thrashy fantasy-power metal and their later albums of bombastic fantasy melodrama with hundreds of vocal tracks on each song. The mix is awesome and makes for their tightest album all together. There is good variety on the album - breathless power metal at top speed, like "I'm Alive", "Script", "Born in a Mourning Hall", and "Another Holy War"; a gorgeous, GORGEOUS ballad "Past and Future Secret", two epic progressive metal tracks opening and closing the album, and atmospheric mid-tempo rockers "Mordred's Song" and "Bright Eyes".

I have gone from actually disliking this band to owning almost all their albums, and I think I could write a book about how good they are. Highest recommendation for anyone who likes metal!

Power Metal At Its Finest.......2006-06-11

Blind Guardian is, without a doubt, one of the greatest power metal bands in existence at the moment, and the album being reviewed here is definitely one of their best, if not THE best. Every song on here is rich, dynamic, and compelling, mixing the high-voltage intensity of thrash/speed metal with the epic musicality of power metal. It also marked the final time lead singer Hansi Kursch would perform while playing bass, allowing him to expand on his vocal talents and therefore leading up to their masterpiece "A Night At The Opera" that would come seven years down the road. All the musicians in the band are at the best on this one, playing with incredible speed and precision uncommon in a band such as this one. Even live, this band never fails to deliver, though Hansi's voice may not be nearly as epic as heard on here (more than likely because you can't multi-layer your voice in concert), but the crowd more than makes up for the lack of a backing choir. But that's another review all in itself, so let's just stick to this album.

First of all is lead singer Hansi Kursch, who has a melodic, penetrating growl (a la Metallica, not death metal) that puts James Hetfield to shame, and while he may not have an amazing range, he has enough force behind his voice to compel you into believing that the stories of which he sings are of his own experience and not just works of fiction. His bass doesn't have much clarity due to the muddled production, he plays at high speeds without skipping a beat or messing up his vocals. Lead guitarist Andre Olbrich has a innate sense of musicality and plays wailing guitar solos that give every song a unique personality, providing a mood for the anecdotes. Rhythm guitarist Marcus Siepen is good at keeping the band in the right key, playing complex Euro-style rhythm sections instead of the chugga-chugga riffing of most American metal bands. Last but not least is drummer Thomen Stauch, who has great skill in keeping beat and doing some excellent drum work while pumping out intense double-bass at quite high BPM, intensifying the speed of the band as well as giving it a solid ground on which to play on. It's a shame that he left, but his replacement Frederik Emkhe, while he isn't nearly as good as Thomen, does surprisingly well to step into the former drummer's shoes in his absence.

Bottom line: if you're looking for some intense, precise, HEAVY metal, then Blind Guardian is definitely the band for you; or, if you're a BG fan but still haven't purchased this album, then your collection will not be complete without out (obviously). This album is a staple in the library of any metalhead, as it is difficult to find a power metal with the personality that Blind Guardian shows. Other good bands in this vein are Hammerfall, Stratovarius, Helloween, and Iced Earth.

Best Stevie Album Ever!.......2007-06-20

This is by far my favorite Stevie Nicks album. The songs Rooms on Fire, Cry Wolf and Juliet are phenomenal and can be listened to repeatedly.

A Firm Favourite..........2006-11-21

This album has received its fair share of negative feedback, from critics and certain fans alike, however, I have always had a personal soft-spot for this album.

"The Other Side of the Mirror" is very keyboard and synth based, due to the presence of Rupert Hine, the man responsible for Tina Turner's "Private Dancer", which alienated alot of fans. The production is very European, which probably explains why it was so succesful outside of the US, and received such a slacking within.

Stand-out tracks include the single "Rooms on Fire" and the luscious "Ooh My Love", "Long Way to Go" and the emotional "Ghosts", which is a track I have always felt Stevie wrote just for me. However, the best track on this album would have to be "Doing the Best that I Can (Escape from Berlin)", which is quite possibly the best song Stevie ever wrote lyrically. It is filled with pain and anguish, and is a real reflection of the personal turmoil most fans know Stevie went through in the late 80s to mid-90s period.

This would definately be the most underrated album of Stevie's career, and definately deserves to be given a chance.

Stevie Nicks - The Other Side of the Mirror (1989) .......2006-06-27

In the first half of the 1980's Stevie Nicks established herself as a rock and roll double threat. A powerful contributor to Fleetwood Mac's monstrous success, she also built an equally credible solo career on her own. However, after her third solo album (Rock a Little), she seemed to be in some kind of free fall due to drama in Fleetwood Mac and her own widely publicized drug problems. Whatever the issue, her output slowed and the quality of what was produced dropped radically. Her contributions to Fleetwood Mac's sleek 1987 album Tango in the Night, for example, were flat out embarrassments to both herself and her bandmates.

The Other Side of the Mirror feels like Nicks is struggling to regain her momentum. Unfortunately, Rupert Hines was not the best producer for her to work with at such a time. Many of the songs on Mirror are well-written, and she produced a solid hit with "Rooms on Fire." However, many of the tracks are self-indulgent, lyrically off the deep end, and over-produced musically. This creates an overall listless sound, which blunt her usual strengths as a writer and performer.

Examples are plentiful. "Two Kinds of Love" is a great duet with Bruce Hornsby, but it lacks the direct emotional connection of "Leather and Lace." "Whole Lotta Trouble" is a horn-blazing rocker that never manages to evoke the drama of "Edge of Seventeen." "Juliet" rocks and "Alice" menaces, but both are ultimately too unfocused to hold together for anyone other than a die-hard Stevie Nicks fan. Her lyrics on "Long Way to Go" are so oddly written that she sounds like she's imitating Jedi Master Yoda. The nadir is "Fire Burning," a mess of a song that takes three minutes to go nowhere.

Nicks may have been working through her demons at the time. Her next release, the aptly titled Timespace, would be a "best of" effort to create as a stopgap as she tried to regain her footing.

I rounded up! 3.5 is more like it..........2006-06-21

I love Stevie Nicks, I love her works. But the intensity of that love varies from song to song, album to album.

With "The Other Side of the Mirror" my love lessens a bit. On the whole, the album is just "O.K." and nothing more. Does it come close to previous works like "Bella Donna" or "The Wild Heart"? No, it doesn't. But it is a decent solo effort and honestly much better than most music put out in the last 12 years or so.

Stevie just isn't "Fresh" with this album. The music may be a tad different but overall it's the same mysterious woman, her love-affairs with various men, the darkness, the velvet. All of it's so familiar, but in this case, too much so.

This album isn't going to win over non-fans or ever be considered a masterpiece. But it's never going to be considered a "bad" effort by those in the know.

I reccomend this as a good addition to any Stevie Nicks fan's collection. Songs to watch for are; "Rooms On Fire", "Long Way To Go", "Two Kinds of Love", and "Fire Burning".

A Good Album....but Short of a Great One.......2006-03-03

Following Fleetwood Mac's successful comeback in 1987 with "Tango in the Night", the band had re-couped much of the momentum they had lost. As for Fleetwood Mac band member, Stevie Nicks - she had a lot of momentum in the 1980s. She had released three solo albums in the 1980s, the 1981 country music infused "Bella Donna", the successful 1983 follow-up "The Wild Heart", and the Rock infused "Rock a Little". Each of those albums had produced a Top Ten hit in the U.S. ("Stop Draggin My Heart Around", "Leather and Lace", "Stand Back", and "I Can't Wait"). In addition, Nicks garnered critical acclaim for being able to launch a solo career in her own right. Therefore expectations were set high when Nicks would release her fourth album, "The Other Side of the Mirror". While this album is pretty good, compared to the previous albums it isn't quite as strong as the work she had done throughout the 1980s.

Nicks' "The Other Side of the Mirror" takes on a distinctive synth-pop feel. For this album, Nicks would bring in producer Rupert Hine who had garnered a reputation for being successful with synth-pop artists (most notably, Tina Turner for her "Private Dancer" album). Nicks', "The Other Side of the Mirror" would still be a commercial success - and this comes on the heels of a decline of synth-pop which was occuring in the late 1980s. The late 1980s had seen the pop music landscape move more toward a natural guitar-laden sound. Hine deserves a lot of credit for making Nicks' synth-pop effort a commercial success.

Nicks has historically surrounded herself with good musicians for her solo albums. This album is no exception. Most notably on this album is Mike Campbell from Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. Campbell provides guitar work on four tracks and co-writes three of those songs with Nicks ("Ghosts", "Whole Lotta Trouble", and "Fire Burning"). When Campbell isn't doing guitar, Jamie West-Oram of The Fixx is. Nicks makes some very good use of background vocalists to help her. These background vocalists, Lori Perry-Nicks and Sharon Celani are on all 12 tracks (except for "Ooh My Love" which just has Perry-Nicks on background vocals). A trademark of Nicks is that she often features a male vocalist. For this role, an unlikely vocalist - Bruce Hornsby is brought in for 2 tracks.. Finally Kenny G makes a guest appearance.

Here is a quick synopsis of the 12 tracks on this collection:

"Rooms on Fire": This was the lone Top 10 hit from this album. The song has a strong synth-pop feel and it will be the keyboards will take over this track. This song manages to showcase Nicks' vocals talents at her best. Nicks-Perry and Celani do a terrific job with supplementing Nicks with great background vocals.

"Long Way to Go": This song combines some harder Rock elements with Synth Pop. There is a nice guitar solo by West-Oram. halfway through the song. This is another good song where Nicks-Perry and Celani do a real nice job supplementing some great Stevie Nicks vocals.

"Two Kinds of Love": I'm shocked that this song did not become a hit. Bruce Hornsby shares lead vocals with Nicks on this song. Surprisingly, Hornsby was brought in for his vocals and not his trademark piano work. Hornsby's unique and smooth vocals blend perfectly with Nicks' raspy vocals. While I'm not a Kenny G fan, his saxophone solo works perfectly in this song and can easily be picked up.

"Ooh My Love": Nicks does another nice job on the vocals. It is going to be Rupert Hine's keyboard that can easily be picked out.

"Ghosts": This is one of the Mike Campbell tracks that he co-wrote with Nicks. The song sounds out with a haunting sound and then transitions into something that has a bit of a Tom Petty feel.

"Whole Lotta Trouble": Another Campbell co-written track. This song has a blues element to it. It also has a Tom Petty feel to it. While this song had its moments, I felt the chorus was weak.

"Fire Burning": This is the third Campbell co-written track. This has more of a Synth Pop feel than the other Campbell tracks. Not a bad track. Nicks does a nice job on vocals, and gets help from Nicks-Perry and Celani.

"Cry Wolf": On Laura Branigan's "Touch" album, she sang this as a power ballad. Nicks is not a power ballad singer, but gives a nice spin to this song. She doesn't try to do a power vocal here and instead uses her own unique raspy vocals to give this song her own touch. This is one of two songs not written by Nicks.

"Alice": Many have said that this was the cornerstone song to the album. This song makes an analogy to the whole "Alice in Wonderland" theme. Kenny G has a saxophone solo. Many people really like this song, but it just didn't make it for me. It's ok, but I wouldn't say it's great.

"Juliet": Hornsby is back and this time contributes piano work as well as some background vocals. Hornsby's piano gives this song a catchy beat. In another storytelling analogy, she draws an analogy to "Juliet" from "Romeo and Juliet".

"Doing the Best That I Can": A good song captures my imagination and this song just doesn't do that.

"I Still Miss Someone (Blue Eyes)": This is the other song that Nicks did not write. This song is a throw back to the Country-infused days of "Bella Donna" days as Nicks does a good job with this Johnny Cash cover. Nicks-Perry and Celani do a nice job with background vocals.

The liner notes include all of the lyrics as well as musician and production credits. There are some terrific acknowledgements to the contributors by Nicks. Overall, this album should keep Nicks' core fans happy. I'd rate this album a good one, but I do feel it falls short of being a great one.

Still Impressed.......2007-05-30

I have always been a huge Billy Ray fan. The first concert my daughter ever seen was Billy Ray @ Riverbend in Cincinnati. She was 10! His talent and genuine love of people and this gift that he has is not something that he takes for granted, but I believe that most of us listeners do take it for granted. When I became a Christian, I stopped listening to "secular" music. That was a decision that I made on my own to strengthen my walk with God. One day I was listening to the radio on-line at the office. This beautiful song came on. When it was over & the DJ said it was Billy Ray, I was stunned! So after a week of hearing it on the radio, I came on-line to see if it was available on any of his CDs. I was so excited to see that he had made a CD of 'faith based' music. Although Billy Ray didn't write all the songs on this CD like he normally does, the songs are written by some very well known Christian artists - Matthew West & Del Gray to name two.

This is a great CD. The messages thru the songs are good. If you know the Lord, you'll hear His messages throughout this CD, but the sound is soooooo Billy Ray. I just love it. Thank you so much Billy Ray!!!

I truly believe this is Billy Ray's finest effort to date.
The songs are beautiful and really showcase his great voice.

Inspirational and uplifting.......2004-04-14

This is an amazing CD. If you only know of Billy Ray as that "Achey Breaky Heart" guy, you need to check out this CD. Billy Ray released one of the years best CDs that includes a great mix of country, pop/rock and gospel. No filler here - every single song on this CD is worth a listen. The songs themselves are inspirational and uplifting. A great CD from a tremendously underrated performer.

This is Billy Ray Cyrus best CD Ever. I want him to make more like this. I love the words to the songs They mean a lot. Great!!!

Proud to be his fan!.......2004-02-22

He touches my heart with his remarkable voice. And it feels like he truly meant every word that he sang. The moment he started the first note of "Face of God", I was hooked and couldn't stop the CD player. It's that good.

A talented singer like him is really rare nowadays, regardless of music genre.
