Very Silly.......2007-05-16

This is an excellent CD. I just wish that the veggie tales theme song was on it too.

Veggie Tales are the best.......2007-05-16

I love watching Veggie Tales and singing the silly songs almost as much as my son! We each have our favorite songs that we get to sing to in the car. If you love Veggie Tales silly songs, you will thoroughly enjoy this CD.

Not just for little kids!.......2007-03-05

My kids got this CD as a gift, but I have to admit that I love it at least as much as they do, and sing right along with it all the time. In fact, I'm now buying it for my 44-year old sister and her 15- and 16-year old kids - at their insistence! Very, very funny lyrics, with great music that you will carry in your head all day, whether you want to or not! On another note, I'm not Christian, and was concerned that this CD might not be appropriate for my kids for that reason, but it's not religious at all (we usually just skip the one cute, non-religious Santa song). Highly recommend this CD!

Can't Listen Enough.......2007-02-15

This CD is AMAZING!! I am a lover of veggie tales and this CD had all my favorites!

For Christians and Non-Christians, the one to get, except...........2007-02-04

sigh, 'The Bunny Song' is on the other compilaiton (which is my mind is not as good as this one.) I'm not a Christian, but I did grow up going to Sunday School where we watched many of the Veggie Tale films. This is a good group of songs for toddlerrs/little kids/ or teens and adults wishing to have simple songs stuck in their head all day. For Christians the songs are a good reminder for the kids throughout the week, and for non-christians wishing to expand their collection without being "preached" at throughout the cd, this is a nice collection.
for those concerned about the content, lyrics are provided on various lyric websites.

A Wonderful CD.......2007-05-13

This is a wonderful inspirational CD. Mark Schultz is a wonderful story teller and sings with deep compassion. I would highly recommend this CD.

ANOTHER winner!.......2006-07-11

I was wondering how Mark Schultz was going to top his previous two CDs, but he's done it. This CD is so incredibly moving. "Letters From War" is a profound, non-traditional (but NOT trite) tribute to our military men and women. I've listened to that song about 100 times, and I STILL cry at it. Every song will either amuse you, challenge you, or move you in some way. "Running Just to Catch Myself" ALWAYS makes me laugh--he has the modern "professional" lifestyle described to a "T". Again, there isn't a song in the whole CD that I ever want to skip over whenever I listen to it. The songs are so thoughtful as well as thought-provoking. He really has mastered the art of storytelling; you'll hang on every word. This is an absolute MUST in any music collection. I always find myself trying to hook others on Mark Schultz, and so far all of my friends and family I've played his CDs for have become fans. He is absolutely addicting!

Best C.D Ever!!!!.......2006-03-10

I would like to start off saying that this is a wonderful C.D,but I'm going to write this review on one paticular song,"Letters From War".

This is the best song ever writen!!!My Language Arts teacher loves poetry.She prints out the words to songs she likes.She says they'll teach us a lesson and that they are a lot like poems.Anyways,she prints out the words to paticular songs and passes them out to the class and tells us to follow along while she plays the song.Oneday she brought in "letters From War" and she almost cried.

I love this song!!!Way to go Mark Schultz!!! Also,thanks to my Language Arts teacher or I probally would have never found it. Best song ever!!! Buy it!!!!!

A Masterpiece.......2005-10-13

Mark Shultz has cut an amazing CD, in Stories and Songs. This album is a masterpiece, and I'm surprised there are so few reviews here.

The music is pretty high-energy. The performances are great. The arrangements and mixing, by Brown Bannister, is terrific. It reminds me of the old masterpiece, A Tramp Shining, by Richard Harris/Jimmy Webb, with its fullness of sound.

But the star of the show is the words. Mark is a rarely gifted songwriter, who can bring out the meaning in ordinary life stories. He devotes himself to three main themes and their interdependency: relationship, identity, and the use of time.

The album starts out with the themes of relationship and identity, in You Are a child of mine. Mark writes that when he's “overcome with loneliness”, God's voice reassures him that he is dearly loved. Identity is found in one's relationship to God.

The second song, Everywhere, describes that relationship as being both in the very depths of our being and everywhere we go.

Letters from war is an amazingly powerful song, again about relationship, and about the power of prayer. A widow's son is captured in war. His letters to her end, but hers to him continue each night, for she is writing letters from her own war, as she fights for her son's life in prayer: “Bring him home!”, she entreats. If you have something you need to go to war for in prayer, this song will inspire you. SPOILER: This song gripped me at first, because for a brief moment it seems the son is lost.

Do you even know me anymore? - again about relationship, but this time that theme is mixed with the theme of our use of time. A man has set his own worldly goals, but has neglected his family to the point that he doesn't know them anymore. And then in an poignant turn, he discovers he no longer knows himself, and then finally despairs that God even knows him. This is powerful stuff.

Time that is left – Now the theme of use of time is front and center. How will we deal with things past, present, and future? “Will they say that we loved till our final breath?” We are given the key to how to respond in the oft-repeated refrain, which consists simply of the universal praise word, Hallelujah. If we devote ourselves to the Lord, our lives will work out.

Running just to catch myself – an amazingly creative, hectic song about life in the rat race. One of the funniest songs I've heard in a long time. Mark is spoofing the pressures this life brings us, and challenging us to live above them.

It's been a long time – about staying close to the Lord and not wasting our time on things that don't matter. This song had to grow on me a bit, but it is excellent. The arrangement, the instruments and background vocals, reminds me of some of Phil Specter's work with the Beatles.

He will carry me – along with Child and Letters, a contender for best song of the album. Though strong in most of the songs here, this one above the others brings out the use of dynamical contrast. Low, painful brooding is set against a triumphant declaration that whatever we go through the Lord will be there with us. Relationship again.

Just to know you – a challenge to live life to know Christ, just as He lived and gave His all to know us. Time and relationship again. “I want to finish strong”.

Closer To You – a song of dedication to the Lord. We find not only all our answers in Him, we find who we are.

Reprise – Time That Is Left – a rockin' jam on the earlier cut. At first I wondered why this was chosen to repeat, but then I saw that the album ends on a challenge to us. What will we do with the time that's left? We have a choice to make.

Few albums achieve the level of creativity and power of this one. The writing, the arrangements, the performances, the mixing, are all simply world-class. In the sea of mediocrity that contemporary music, even CCM, is, this album stands out. I don't think you will regret getting a copy. I can't tell you how many times I've listened to mine. Congrats to Mark and all for a work very well done.

Real and Uplifting.......2005-08-02

Once again Mr. Schultz proves that he is a fantastic songwriter! Not only can the guy write a song, he then sings with emotion that many singers have difficulty conveying----probably because so many singers don't believe what they are singing. Also, when you read the CD liner, you get the sense that this is a real and genuine guy, who is moving through life, searching for meaning, just like the rest of us.

Had a couple of salad vegetables performed Sunday-school songs in our day the way they do here, we parents might have made it through the weekly churchgoing ritual without the regular reaming by our own moms and dads. Delivering the between-song dialogue and cartoon shenanigans that keep kids from drifting off are Bob the Tomato and Larry the Cucumber, who whoop it up from the first track with wah-wah guitar effects, loopy lyrical improv, fellow VeggieTales guest vocalists, and a smattering of big-band swing. A kids' choir provides the starch that saves Sunday morning from becoming a beta-carotene bomb. While Bob twists his tongue around mouthfuls like "the mighty messiah that manifests miracles" in "Down in My Heart," for instance, the kids keep pace for at-home singers, who'll follow suit. Similarly, the child crooners carry on without so much as a snicker as Sgt. Larry barks out "Gimme 20!" in "This is My Commandment" and chimes in with a wacky "No way!" during the "Don't let Satan blow it out" verse of "This Little Light of Mine." The originals "God's Way," "Love Your Neighbor," and "I Believe God Can" capture hummable, child-size chunks of morality, complementing traditionals like "He's Got the Whole World" and "Jesus Loves the Little Children." And once Joshua fights the battle of Jericho and we've washed up in a river of peace, this record swings into section two--the split-track rerun (without the veggie character commentary). Cue it up at the crack of dawn as a pre-service snooze-prevention device--ironically, in Bob and Larry's vitamin-rich hands, church songs become less boring broccoli and more crunchy Cheetos. --Tammy La Gorce

a sure winner.......2007-05-14

We weren't sure this was going to appeal to to youngest of our age group but it was a winner. The 6 months old even bounce to the tunes and the two year olds dance to their favorites. They can tell the adults what Bob & Larry will sing next. It is a plus for any Christian Program or any home that loves the old Sunday School Favorites

Very entertaining with a great message!.......2007-03-01

Your kids will NOT be bored with this CD. Cute songs with humorous banter between Bob and Larry, as usual. Great Christian music that your kids will actually WANT to listen to.

My Kids love Bob and Larry.......2007-01-11

This a fantastic cd. Both my kids- 6 and 4 love this cd. They want to listen to all the time. The songs are catchy and they also get to sing them at Sunday school.

Fun, fun, fun!.......2005-01-27

This was a baby shower gift and I can't say for sure yet whether my son likes this one (he's all of 7 1/2 weeks) but I do! It makes feeding time and diaper-changing a little more fun for Mom at least right now and I hope he'll enjoy these crazy versions of fun Sunday School songs when he's a little older. This is a good one!

fantastic!!!.......2004-11-11

I gave this to my three year old son for his birthday, and he absolutely loves it! His favorite song is "Jericho." He learned the songs in no time, and he enjoys listening to them on long car trips. This is a wonderful CD for preschoolers!

I love this CD. It's cute and funny, these veggie guys crack me up and my son definitely enjoys it! We listened to it over and over until I got sick of it, but we'll put it on every now and then and it calms him down when he's fussy. He's only 7 months old now, but I can't wait till he's a little older so he can actually start singing along. I would definitely recommend this CD!

Delightful!.......2006-04-11

I bought this CD for riding in the car with my son because we like Veggie Tales movies so much and was quite impressed. The song "I've Got Peace Like A River" is a gem! I had never heard this song (or, rather, two songs) and it is almost, well, appalachian sounding. Wonderful. The rest of the CD is good, especially the "Think of Me" song, but number 10 is my favorite, hands-down!

Fabulous.......2006-03-16

My two year old daughter and I love to listen and sing with this music over and over. The music sounds good and carries with it a fabulous message. Good job, Bob & Larry!

Great music for car rides!.......2005-09-13

I bought this CD primarily for the "Thankfulness" song, but we've enjoyed belting out the other songs on the CD too. This is a great CD and I don't regret buying it in the least. My only minor complaint is I was slightly disappointed that the words to "Thankfulness" on the album didn't include the verses from the "Madame Blueberry" movie we have..."Thank you Dad for my day, for my trip to the mall, for the time that we shared, for my big red bouncy ball..." Those are some of our favorite lines in the song, so it's a shame they're not included in the Cd lyrics.

Children's discs, like cartoons, sometimes work on a couple of different levels, but those levels are usually predictable--the pop-culture reference that flies over a slack-jawed fourth grader's head while garnering a chuckle from her parent, for example, or the double-entendre that's decidedly singular in the eyes of a 6-year-old child. The Tragic Treasury, the companion disc to Daniel Handler's creepily addictive Lemony Snicket series of books, is in a whole different league: 11-year-olds and the adults who hover over them, waiting for their own chance to devour each title, will love its verisimilitude--songs like "Scream and Run Away" and "Smile! No One Cares How You Feel" couldn't have been concocted for anything else--and indie-rock types, be they 19 or 62, will love its drearily exceptional hipness. Whether you know your grim grottos from your vile villages and hostile hospitals (all Snicket titles) couldn't matter less: if artful gloom-leaning pop grabs you, this disc gives up the goods, and of a quality you won't find anywhere else besides a handful of less-inspired Gothic Archies releases. As most non-Snicketeers inclined to pick up The Tragic Treasury know, Stephen Merritt--he of the equally excellent Magnetic Fields--is responsible; a few accordion contributions from Handler himself aside, he alone is the merry Goth man. He also writes a mean lyric, and luckily for Snicket loyalists, they're included in liner notes here. --Tammy La Gorce

Album Description

When I heard Stephen Merrit play "Shipwrecked" as part of an artist's segment on public radio, I knew I had to check this album out. It was not a waste. Stephen Merrit and Daniel Handler show themselves to be not only to be competent lyricists, but versatile musicians. Plus Everyone can find something the enjoy about this album. Though the songs are geared towards a younger audience often sounding like a twisted Shel Siversteen poems, I think adults can appreciate the underlying dark humor that Merrit and Handler inject into every track.

"Ice Cold Ice," in which Bob Mould rails against "barren lands and barren minds" and Grant Hart falls in on the supercatchy chorus, exemplifies the Hüsker Dü career development that peaks on this final album. Without sacrificing the emotional intensity of earlier albums, the Minneapolis trio beefs up the guitar-based melodies and sneaks in pop songcraft in lieu of the old fast-and-loud hardcore style. On this 1987 double album, as usual, guitarist Mould supplies the personal songs ("Standing in the Rain"), while drummer Hart remains more broadly political ("Tell You Why Tomorrow"). --Steve Knopper

Customer Reviews:

Pure Pop for Punk People.......2007-06-22

No, it's not the feverish, raging genius of Zen Arcade and the 8 Miles High cover. But it's unfairly maligned as "soft" and "corporate". I unfortunately remember mainstream music from 1987, and Warehouse is a far cry from Winger. Bitter introspection and rumination mixed with super-catchy, Lennon/McCartney-esque melodies and choruses. Thrown in bold relief, it's easy to see how badly Bob, Grant & Greg have been ripped off the past 20 years. An indie rock landmark.

this album absolutely kicks backside.......2007-02-15

If you like melodic rock that combines fantastic songwriting with high energy performances and insightful lyrics, then this album is for you. However, be warned that this is not your father's Husker Du. Gone are the brief noisefests played at breakneck speed. With 'Warehouse' you have a slew of catchy rock songs that are wonderfully diverse in their structures. The production is good, and although there is only one guitar, Bob Mould creates a wonderful droning wall of sound with his open tunings that allow him to strum all the strings while fingering individual notes. Both Mould and Grant Hart contribute solid numbers, with Mould clearly the songwriting leader. The emotion and energy in numbers such as "Up in the Air" "Turn it Around" "No Reservations" "It's Not Peculiar" and "These Important Years" cannot be described in words - you just have to listen to the album. Old-school Husker Du fans may resent the bands shift from post-punk to rock, but music lovers will appreciate the fruits of this transition immensely

Disappointing Final Release.......2006-10-06

That this record gets better listener reviews than Flip Your Wig drives me crazy. Yes, there are some very catchy pop tinged songs on this release that I really do like but this record as a whole totally lacks the intensity of the SST works. Am I just a bitter fan who wanted to keep the band small and non-corporate? -Maybe, okay almost certainly.- I do understand that bands evolve and their sound changes ( I feel your pain Metallica fans!) with each trip to the studio but this recording sounds totally phoned in and forced. No, it's not terrible but clearly is the work of a band well on there way to imploding. If you are a fan you should certainly have this in your Husker Du library but if you are not familiar with the band start at Zen Arcade and work your way to this one.

"Familiar places that we turned into gardens".......2006-04-04

Warehouse: Songs and Stories was the last Husker Du studio album. It was released in 1987. They are one of my all-time favorite bands and they seemed to get better and better with each album they made. In Warehouse they left their fans with a double-album filled with great tracks and absolutely no fillers. It's unfortunate that they broke up seemingly so soon, but both Grant Hart and Bob Mould continued with excellent solo records (I especially recommend Intolerance by Hart and Workbook and Black Sheets of Rain by Mould) as well as new bands Nova Mob and Sugar. Here is the warehouse-full of awesome tracks offered on this album:

"These Important Years" (Mould) 3:49: An excellent track to begin the album. Great rocker.
"Charity, Chastity, Prudence, and Hope" (Hart) 3:11: Grant Hart kept getting better and better as a songwriter and here he offers up some amazing rockers that even have a slight country rock sound. This track just flies and never lets up. The guitar solo is yeehaw good!
"Standing in the Rain" (Mould) 3:41: One of Mould's more popular tracks but it is not one of my favorites. It's good, of course, but seems a bit mundane.
"Back From Somewhere" (Hart) 2:16: Another country-style, yeehaw rocker by Grant Hart. I like Hart's vocals on this one (yeehaw style again).
"Ice Cold Ice" (Mould) 4:23: One of my favorite Mould tracks here. It begins with menacing guitar and then rocks. I wish Hart's backing vocals were clearer as I think it would have made the song even better. It sounds great on the live album The Living End.
"You're a Soldier" (Hart) 3:03: This song is just OK. I can actually take it or leave it. Anti-war songs are so prevalent and this one isn't very special. I don't like the backing vocals and the line "knocking over everything that's standing in your way. Can you tell me just how many did you kill today" line sounds like another song, but I can't put my finger on which song that is.
"Could You Be the One?" (Mould) 2:32: This is probably the most recognizable song from this album. They made a music video for it. I never thought I liked it that much but I find myself humming this track a lot, so it must be pretty addictive.
"Too Much Spice" (Hart) 2:57: Another yeehaw rocker by Hart. I love this stuff! I like the lyrics and Hart's vocals are crisp and clear and not barely audible like on some of his tracks. Definitely a sing-along-to song. And a rockin' guitar solo, too.
"Friend, You've Got to Fall" (Mould) 3:20: Catchy track. Up there with "Ice Cold Ice" and "Up in the Air" as my favorite Mould track on this album. Great guitar as always.
"Visionary" (Mould) 2:30: This track is OK, but is not a memorable as most of the others here. I don't care for the chorus that much.

"She Floated Away" (Hart) 3:32: A nice change-of-pace. It has a hard, pulsating beat between the verses, but at the verses and chorus it has a transporting almost gospel-like quality (well, not as gospel as "She Can See the Angels" off Hart's solo album Intolerance). Interesting track.
"Bed of Nails" (Mould) 4:44: Rough Mould rocker that bites like a rusty saw. The "Please don't drive your nails into this heart of mine" line always bugged me as it seems very contrived.
"Tell You Why Tomorrow" (Hart) 2:42: A track that builds with intensity and also has a groovy bass line.
"It's Not Peculiar" (Mould) 4:06: Starts out with this pulsating riff which if OK but when Mould actually sings to this riff "It's not peculiar, there's nothing to devise at all-a-a-a-a-a-a-all right." Yuck. The verses leading up to it are actually pretty good, and Hart's higher backing vocals help it a little but it just bugs me.
"Actual Condition" (Hart) 1:50: Another Hart rocker, but my least favorite. This one is a bit too yeehaw for my tastes.
"No Reservations" (Mould) 3:40: Nice, slower-paced track.
"Turn It Around" (Mould) 4:32: This song is the only one on this track that I really do not like. It is almost embarrassing to listen to. I'm surprised Mould wrote it. It is just so contrived, silly, and mundane. I like the line "But the biggest thing to me is making this thing work for life." That really hits it home but most of the other lyrics and the musical aspect of the song I can definitely leave. Oh well, one ringer out of 20 is not bad.
"She's a Woman (And Now He is a Man)" (Hart) 3:19: I LOVE THIS SONG!! It may be my all-time favorite Grant Hart track! Great lyrics, great vocals, rocks, never lets up! I can't praise it enough!
"Up in the Air" (Mould) 3:03: Mould turns it around (so to speak) with this track. Excellent, catchy track. The chorus with the backing vocals is superb.
"You Can Live at Home" (Hart) 5:25: Appropriate ending to an incredible double-album. A long rocker that sounds like everyone is involved in the vocals and fades out. The bass really drives this one.

Best album by someone I had never heard of........2006-01-14

I listened to this album, loved it, and bought every Husker Du album. Unfortunately, this is the only one I really liked. I still play "Up in the Air" all the time. Every song is a masterpiece. I then bought every Bob Mould album and every Sugar album. This is still the only one I love. I like pop rock with catchy choruses. This is the only must-have album that Bob Mould has been involved with, although he is a talented artist.

Great stories and wonderful Music!.......2007-03-28

Mark Schultz is truly an incredible hidden talent that is finally getting some recognition. I purchased this cd and was completely blown away! His dvd that is included in this cd package gives background info to many of the stories. Highly Recommend! WOW! What will he do next to keep up with the quality and talent he demonstrated here??!!!

Mark Schultz.......2007-02-17

Loved this DVD. Mark Schultz has such a great personality and it comes out in this CD/DVD.

Sorry, but I can't review this. .......2007-01-09

I think it was a post office problem and I've contacted the post office about thrie having said that they received the package....because I've never received it. I don't know what else I can do.

I had to put a star rating on this review or the Amazon server wouldn't let me post. Please ignore it. I have no idea how to rate it.

Awesome CD/DVD!.......2006-12-09

"Mark Schultz Live: A Night of Stories and Songs" is incredible, and very uplifting. Mark tells the stories behind many of his greatest songs, and also talks about how he got to where he is. It really surprises me that a talent scout told him: "This may not be what you're supposed to do" after he listened to a few of Mark's songs, because Mark Schultz has become my favorite artist of all time. I think that what happened with Mark Schultz is a testimony about what can happen when you listen to God instead of other people. I've been there a few times myself, except sometimes I listened to people instead of God, and I have regretted it every single time. Mark didn't give up after his meeting with the talent scout, and I'm glad he didn't.

A number of his songs have really hit home with me. "Closer To You" really hit me when my cousin passed away after a twelve year fight with cancer. It hit me hard enough that I typed the lyrics as I listened to the song, printed them out, and posted them at my cousin's grave site. I heard "Letters From War" a month before my brother was scheduled to leave for Iraq (He made it home safe by the way), so the first time, it was salt in an open wound; but the more I listened to it, the more I liked it, because I felt like God was saying: "My son, you've got to trust Me. I will look after your brother, so don't worry."

Mark Schultz truly has a Christian background, and he demonstrates his love and appreciation for Christ, as well as for everyone in his life who helped to support him. [...] should give customers the option to give 100 stars, because a 5 star rating does not even come close to giving him his due credit. Mark Schultz is AWESOME!

AWESOME.......2006-09-12

This CD/DVD combo is the best gift I could have gotten for myself. I had wanted to get a CD of Mark's that had his newest song 'I am' on it, and when I found out that this one was live and also had some of his older songs included, I had to grab this one off the shelf. His voice has such passion and emotion in it, his music lifts me up and makes me feel so good and happy.... his music truly is beautiful. I can't say enough good things about him.

I have LOVED his music ever since he was introduced with the song 'I am the Way' on the Wow 2001 CD.

Hours of fun!.......2007-06-27

My 4-year-old loves music and the Veggie Tales cd's are some of his favorites. He has listened to this one many times and it hasn't gotten old yet. He goes around the house singing many of these songs on his own, too. There's a nice variety of songs, including some action songs. I haven't gotten tired of this cd yet, either. We highly recommend it!

Brilliantly goofy, inspiring, and educational!.......2007-01-23

This CD starts with the whole Veggie group hiking out to their campsite. Although the first song is an older Veggie tales song, its placement works well and is the only song on the CD that isn't newly introduced. The second song is pure genius. Stop, Drop, and Roll gets all 5 of my kids boogieing down to essential fire safety tips. The songs that follow range from tender hymns praising God's great creations (done by the French peas) to zany tunes of ridiculousness all graced with clean humor. We really dig the Marshmallow Song. This CD is guaranteed to enrich any family's afternoon at home, trip to the store, or future campfire night sing-a-longs!

Veggie Songs to dance by..........2006-08-28

I have two young grandkids that love to dance to these songs. One is 18 months old and the other is almost 4 years old. What I love about these songs is that they are also teaching about the Bible and you can never start children to soon.

Fun and Silliness in the Woods with a Bunch of Veggies!.......2005-02-12

This is my favorite Veggie Tales Sing-Along CD - and I'm the adult! There's lots of corny fun and humor to be had between and during the songs. The sideline comments made during "On Top of Old Smokey" are hilarious. I love playing this CD during road trips. Oh, and my 21-month old son likes it too. I can see his imagination going in his mind's eye as he hears Bob and Larry sing and talk. It's all classic Veggie Tales fun. This is a must have for any Veggie Tales fan.

Vegiie Tales really reaches all age groups. I use this for for a babies and toddlers group and they love the songs as much as the adults that help with group.

I love VeggieTales. The kids have so much fun with the songs. We do praise every morning before school; a great way to start the day.
