Things Change

Amazon.com
Lonesome Bob's sophomore disc spites its own title: some things may change, but Bob's considerable gifts as a country singer and songwriter aren't among them. His baritone will still shake any room to its rafters, his songwriting skills remain so sharp that even songs that might sound like novelty numbers ("Heather's All Bummed Out," "It'd Be Sad If It Weren't So Funny") can cut to the bone, and as on his 1997 debut, Things Fall Apart, he's accompanied by a talented posse of fellow Nashville rebels that includes angelic vocal foil Allison Moorer and fiery lead guitarist Tim Carroll. But where the earlier effort was just a collection of killer country songs, this disc is a more coherent album. Dedicated to Lonesome Bob's son Zachary, who died unexpectedly in 1998, Things Change moves through the anger and pain of the harrowing rock numbers "Where Are You Tonight?" and "Weight of the World" to the sorrow, acceptance, and hope of the ballads "In the Time I Have Left" and the title track. --Anders Smith Lindall

A really Fine Romance.......2007-07-05

It doesn't get any better than these two playing these guys! Some of it was recorded at Abbey Road Studios. Use your imagination... It's all just swell.

A Musical Treat.......2006-01-08

"The true mission of the violin is to imitate the accents of the human voice, a noble mission that has earned for the violin the glory of being called the king of instruments." ~ Charles-Auguste De Bériot ~

Yehudi Menuhin and Stéphane Grapelli together had made some of the most beautiful music ever-recorded. And I believe that this is one of the many successful albums they recorded together. In this recording, both violinists have showed their excellent musicianship and interpretative eloquence as well, making it one of my most cherished CDs from my collection.

These are the main ingredients of a perfectly-made CD for your listening pleasure: mix violins, piano, bass and drums together, combine two terrific violinists, season with the best melodies in the 20s, 30s and 40s from Irving Berlin, Jerome Kern, Cole Porter and Rodgers & Hart. Add the musical talents of Nelson Riddle, Max Harris, Martin Taylor, Eddie Tripp, Alan Clare and the rest of the studio musicians. Now all you have to do is to sit back, relax and savor these stunning melodies coming from your CD player. Listen to it in full-volume and fill your music room with the sheer beauty of these classics.

One of my favorite musical instruments is violin. With its four strings, it gives a whole wide range of musical versatility and I simply love the fascinating sound it produces.

My personal highlights are the best tunes from Jerome Kern - "The Way You Look Tonight" (Nelson Riddle arranged this particular track and conducted the Woodwind and Brass section), "A Fine Romance," "Pick Yourself Up," "Why Do I Love You?" and "All The Things You Are."

My choices from Irving Berlin's gems are - "Isn't It A Lovely Day?" featuring the great artistry of Nelson Riddle in arranging and conducting, "Cheek To Cheek" and "I've Got My Love To Keep Me Warm."

The Cole Porter repertoire represented his musical sophistication in "Night And Day," "I Get A Kick Out Of You" and "Just One Of Those Things."

The choice cuts from the talented and creative team of Richard Rodgers and Lorenz Hart are "My Funny Valentine" and "Thou Swell."

Listening to this CD is so delectable and equivalent to having my favorite dessert - be it Tiramisu, New York Cheesecake, Black Forest Cake, Chocolate Soufflé, Créme Brulee, Chocolate Mousse or Chocolate-Coated Strawberries! ;)

A musical treat.

The Machine rolls.......2007-02-04

Great follow up cd, regardless of what many say. This would be their best until 'Through the Ashes of Empires'.

Wow!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh my god!!!!!!!!!!! .......2006-09-16

They were just some of the the thoughts running through my head when I first heard this album. I have all of Machine Head's albums and to me this is one of the greatest albums ever released by the band.

1994's "Burn My Eyes" was a tremendous album, and although it took three years until The More Things Change was released, Im sure it would have been worth the wait for early listeners (I wasn't a fan back then.)

The album opens with a classic, Ten Ton Hammer, and then it pummels your @$$ until the final song.

Although you won't find a Davidian on this album, it is still a classic in its own way.

The style of Machine Head sort of evolved after "Burn My Eyes". This album certainly had songs a lot darker then all of the songs on the debut album, it also became a lot more punishing and heavier, although some of the songs on Burn My Eyes were a hell of a lot heavier than some of the songs on this album.

Ear bleeders such as "Blood for Blood" on the first album are still present here such as "The Frontlines" and "Ten Ton Hammer".

I disagree with the person who said that "The Burning Red" is better than this album. I believe that some of the songs were OK, but many were cruddy. That was Machine Head's worst album, but people can have their own opinions definatetly.

Anyway, after reading this review you will go to the nearby music
store and BUY THIS ALBUM. QUICKLY!!!!!!

METAL!.......2006-07-01

If you label Machine Head NU metal then you might need to get your hearing checked, as they remind me of a combination of Mudvayne/Exodus/Fear Factory it that makes any sense. Take Mudvayne's Blistering Double Bass and Heavy Bass lines, take the speed/trash of Exodus (or some songs, as most are medium paced), and give it a bit of an industral feel such as FF and you have Machine Head. I was impressed with this album and I think that they are a very solid Metal band without playing a bunch of metalcore/popMetal grooves. This is right up any Metal fans alley as it should have a bit of everything to appeal to the masses.ENJOY (a 5 star review this isnt though as 1 or 2 songs are sorta weak, but the rest is supurb)

The More Things Change, The More Machine Head Starts Losing Their Edge.......2006-04-23

If you're familiar with Machine Head's 'Burn My Eyes' album and if you've read the above title, then that should give you an idea on how 'The More Things Change...' is. If you still can't figure it out, then here's an even clearer explanation: it's a less inspired version of 'Burn My Eyes,' though still solid.

What makes the venerated 'Burn My Eyes' so great is its blend of quiet, slow, melody and loud, fast, aggressive thrash. This album tries to follow in that same vein, but unfortunately it falters a bit. It's mostly that the songs aren't as catchy as they are on its predecessor for whatever reason. My theory is that the guitar riffs are a bit more nu-metal sounding.

What can also be said is that 'The More Things Change...' is more divided. More of the songs either don't possess that same melodic/speed blend of 'Burn My Eyes,' or the song (e.g. 'Violate') presents a false sense of climax building. It's only when the song is near end that it becomes apparent that there isn't much of the aggressive rush as there was in songs such as in 'Burn My Eyes.'

Though not as compentate as its predecessor, this album still isn't bad. There are certainly memorable songs such as 'Spine,' 'The Frontlines,' 'Ten Ton Hammer,' and 'Struck a Nerve' (at least the first half.) If you don't already have 'Burn My Eyes,' then you'd be wise to get that album before considering this. If you're looking for material sort of in the same vein, then this is your best bet, as Machine Head's other releases have drifted too far from their original style (though some of it is still decent.)

yeah so.......2006-03-16

Machine Head is one of the few bands that can completely cahnge -- sell out if you must--- and still own. I have all of their albums and like them all. Definit ly one of my top 5 bands. The more things change is actually the album that got me into them and its still my fav. The album is an emotional roller coaster and my fav MH song SPINE is on this album. Most people will say that Burn My Eyes is their best album and I'm not saying its not amazing, but this album is the best MH I have heard to date. Definitly check this out if you enjoy real metal.

Album Description

Rick Davies, Bob Siebenberg, Mark Hart and John Helliwell re-formed Supertramp with a number of anonymous studio musicians in 1997 to record and release Some Things Never Change, their first album in ten years. And the title is correct, nothing much has changed within Supertramp's world; they're simply churning out the same sophisticated jazzy, lite-funk-inflected pop as they did in the mid-'80s.

Album Details

This Classic Rock Group Returns with all New Studio Album, Original Line-up is the Same, Except Roger Hodgson who Has Been Replaced by Ex-crowded House Member, Mark Hart.

Customer Reviews:

Consistency.......2007-06-15

12 songs and each has its own tempo and message. I enjoyed their little look into life's ups-and-downs.

Superlative Supertramp.......2007-01-08

Ironically, the mass-market popularity of Supertramp rests on a the hummable hooks of its middle-period albums. Thus, I can only guess that the many criticisms of this particular album come from fans to whom "Logical Song" seems the pinnacle of musical achievement. Too bad for them... they're missing out on some of the best work of this band's career. This is most certainly a Supertramp album to rival (and in some ways, exceed) the best output of their halcyon days.

Yes, gone are the trite little singles of Breakfast in America. Instead, the band expands its reach, weaving a lavish musical tapestry of many scintillating instrumental threads. There's an echo here of the beautiful studio jamming of Supertramp's vastly under-rated first album. Some reviewers (All-Music Guide, shame on you) have taken this as a sign that Supertramp 'can no longer create catchy little songs.' Hey, maybe they've simply evolved beyond that sort of silliness. The tracks on Some Things Never Change sound at once familiar, yet fresh and new. But where earlier works tended to stop short, these go on, achieving their jazzy, mesmerizing potential in a full five, six, or nine minutes.

Bands move on; if you trust their vision, then you have no choice but to follow where they lead. The reward is discovering unexpected gems like this one.

EXCELLENT.......2006-05-19

Yes, we miss Roger Hodgson, BUT Rick Davies not only sang more than 'Bloody Well Right' in past years, but has put together a jazzy and sophisticated album, that perhaps is more like Steely Dan than Supertramp's more pop tunes under Hodgson, but once again, this is classy musical workings....great stuff, and for anyone who ever saw this performed live, like I did when the album was first released, all I can say is WOW! Great concert. So, for those die-hard fans afraid of change, I say, let go of the past and listen with an open mind and ear, and it will impress the heck out of you. Enjoy!

1.5 stars- Kind of a lame effort.......2006-05-18

This albums like Sominex, It will definitely put you to sleep. They need to have another vocalist to sing some of the songs so Rick Davies doesn't have to sing on every song. The songs on here are not up tempo enough and are kind of lazy and jazzy and just pretty boring stuff. It would be great if Roger Hodgson would return because they could really use him these days. They have a couple of really long songs of which one is over 9 minutes in length and the other is over 8 minutes, and that's getting pretty long for Supertramp songs. Just stick with all of Supertramps albums from the 70's because they blow the 80's and 90's stuff out of the water.

Excellent!!.......2006-02-23

After reading some of the reviews here, I was kinda bracing me when I put the cd on. I listened to it in a single run..., and again..., and again...

It is an awesome album. This must surely be one of their quality wise most consistent albums!
Indeed, this is a (re)new(ed) Supertramp... and what an improvement at that! If someone would have said this is a new group I'd have said it is a crossover between Steely Dan and Supertramp.

A recipe for high quality, terrific sounding music, if you ask me.

Pretty Good Album.......2005-11-28

Regardless of whether or not you like the Killers, this CD is pretty good. I love classical music, and this CD is not a disappointment.

The songs are a little shorter than the originals, but still manage to be pretty good. It's amazing what they've done with just a few classic instruments and no synthesizer. The mood of the songs are a little different from the album, it's not so much "night" music, as it is... classic. You can picture yourself eating in a brightly lit, fancy French cafe with this music in the background, rather than being at a club or on the streets at night.

The only problem is that the music lacks a certain amount of energy, which was present on the original album.

I would still reccomend this CD to anyone who likes classical music and the Killers.

This is Great!.......2005-06-14

If you like The Killers this Cd rocks! I love the Hot Fuss Cd and this one is just as good. I highly recommend this Cd for all Killer fans!

The Killers have a tribute album...already?.......2005-04-26

Okay, "Hot Fuss" came out about 10 months ago and now The Killers are one of the most popular bands of the 'indie' genre. Is it too soon for The String Quartet to turn songs like "Mr. Brightside" and "Somebody Told Me" into Muzak pieces? The answer is yes but...they did a pretty good job of it. I am not recommending this cd unless you love The Killers AND you don't mind listening to the songs turned around 180 degrees into 'chamber music'. Try to preview it first.

Wonderful voice, interesting lyrics, but..........2003-04-08

... but I was expecting a bit more musically. Nothing really wrong with these songs, mind you, but they come off sounding like rough demos that haven't had the chance to be worked on yet to flesh out the potential for musical richness and depth.

And on the track "In The Time I Have Left", the last word of the chorus is repeated OVER and OVER and OVER and OVER again for what seems like 15 minutes (more like 1 minute, really, but it DRAGS). It just seems like poor song structuring to have it run on and on like that.

I really like his voice, though, and he recruited Allison Moorer, possibly THE most under-appreciated singer of modern times, to contribute backing and harmony vocals on most of the tracks. So Bob definitely gets high marks for that.

Listen to every word and every note.......2002-12-10

Bob gets even closer to what makes us tick and what often knocks us down a peg or two, sometime further. This is a sparse CD that's full of penetrating energy and depth. Allison Moorer is all over Bob's CD (again), and to these ears, she sounds better in this context than on her solo CDs (and I love those solo CDs!) Amy Rigby joins the cast on the title track. Tim Carroll is here, too, ripping it up, electrically, moving the beat along. Mastered by Buddy Miller. Lots more to hear, here.

probably 5 stars.......2002-07-29

outstanding cd!!a cross between cornell hurd and webb wilder but leaving both in the dust on this one.the kind of music you wished you'd hear on radio,but probably never will.{i'm lucky,living in austin i heard it on our public radio station}.the title track alone is worth the price of the cd,but don't let that detract from the rest of the cd.it's one keeper after another.my only quibble is the bonus track "PATCHES" detracts from the haunting ending.BUY THIS CD!

Honest as they come........2002-07-22

A beauty. This guy's the real deal,and he's better than 99.9% of the music that's out there. Country rock in every sense of the word. The lyrics are awesome and the music is blazing. Also,anyone who hangs out with Allison Moorer's alright in my books. Grab this before it goes out of print;you know how these small labels can be.

play it "every day".......2002-03-13

Bob Chaney deserves a lot more exposure than he gets. This music isn't for everyone, I use a lot of discretion in what I let my 9 year old son hear, but Bob is a rare talent and is the kind of artist that Nashville desparately needs to salvage the sinking ship that is today's contemporary country music. Bob's music is quite mature, themes range from successful thievery ("Got Away With It") to a woman's early-mid-life crisis ("Heather All Bummed Out") to substance abuse ("Dying Breed") to suicide ("Weight of the World"). "Where Are You Tonight" is about Bob's loss of his teenage son Zachary; this may not be the best song Bob's ever sung (that is debatable) but it certainly is the best Bob's ever sung a song (and that's saying a lot!). From start to finish, perhaps excluding the uncredited cover of Clarence Carters' "Patches" (where'd Bob come up with this one?!), these are well crafted songs sung by a voice that cannot be easily ignored. And Bob's secret weapon, harmony vocals by Allison Moorer, only makes it more difficult to take the CD out of my player. Buy this CD, in the time you have left play it "every day", "every day", "every day", "every day", ...................... "every day"!

Mark Lowry, the vocalist.......2005-06-11

It's hard to say what Mark Lowry is best known for. His comedy? His singing? Writing the lyrics to "Mary Did You Know?" But this CD reminds us of what a fine singer Mark Lowry is. By far my favorite song on this collection is "Isn't It Amazing," a wonderful song of worship and praise. Mark harmonizes with his friends on "I Call Him Lord" and "I Will Trade the old Cross for a Crown" and the results are lovely. Lowry's humorous side comes through on "Too Big to Miss," his own composition about the story of David and Goliath. "Some Things Never Change" closes with "Make it Real," a plaintive song about a person searching for the truth about God.

Simply Beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!.......2004-01-04

Ok let me begin by saying, that this is by far the best album That Mark Lowry has done. The vocal arrangements are done beautifully. My Favorite Song on the album Is "I Call him Lord". Mark has a lot of passion in his voice, and is one of a kind. If you've never bought one of Mark's Solo Singing Albums, This is the one to get. Congratulations on a job well done Mark. I highly recommend this album. It is simply Awesome!!!

Sheer vocal excellence!.......2003-11-18

From the pop feel of "But Seriously" to the country/bluegrass/Southern Gospel style of "Some Things Never Change", Mark Lowry's solo work shows he can comfortably handle just about any musical style out there. His voice has pure beauty, his singing filled with emotion and passion. Like Patsy Cline, he's a definitive singer-once he gets hold of a song, it's difficult associating it with anyone else (as is the case with his often-covered "Mary Did You Know").

Fans of Mark's humor won't be disappointed. His self declared foray into rap tells the story of David in "Too Big To Miss". "I Wanna Go To Heaven" showcases Woody Wright's clever lyricism and Mark's vocal versatility as he handles all four parts of this "quartet".

The other quartet showcase in this package is "I'll Trade the Old Cross For A Crown", featuring three-fourths of a past Gaither Vocal Band incarnation (Mark, Bill Gaither, Michael English) with Reggie Smith handling the tenor part. Mark also successfully recalls the style of the Singing Rambos, joined by Kim Lord and Amber Franks of LordSong on Dottie Rambo's "I Call Him Lord."

Though "Make It Real" is pulled from the Gaither Vocal Band "I Do Believe" album to include on this release, its message remains as powerful and could see some new life should it be viewed for crossover possibility.

"Some Things Never Change" will hopefully earn Mark some additional respect as a vocalist as well as a humorist. It's hard to imagine not taking notice of a voice like his.

Album Description

Constant Flux, aka Douglas Rimerman, is part of the burgeoning IDM scene in the United States. With his fresh take on the electronic music paradigm married with visual art performances, Constant Flux has already enjoyed radio airplay on L.A.'s influential KCRW 89.9 FM and KXLU 88.9 FM, and a series of live performances at multi-media art exhibitions throughout L.A. Constant Flux recently performed live at Late Night at LACMA, an art opening event at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art with a club-like atmosphere that also featured KCRW's Jason Bentley. This event was attended by more than 900 people. More recent performances include a musical benefit for the people of Nigeria titled Aquarium hosted on March 19 at the Atlas Supper Club on Wilshire Boulevard in Los Angeles as well as a show on April 20 at Roam Design Gallery in the artist district of Los Angeles for a multi-media art event called Urban Surfaces. The live setup for the Urban Surfaces performance was unique in that Doug and visual performance art partner Yo Suzuki were setup on a 12-foot by 10-foot platform suspended from the roof 12 feet above the ground by one high-strength cable at each of four corners of the steel and wood platform. Large gaping holes in the platform floor permitted onlookers to see up through the bottom and view visuals projected straight up towards the ceiling. On March 3, 2002, Doug was invited to perform six tracks as constant flux live on KXLU 88.9 FM. The one-hour spot went so well that he was asked to perform at KXLU again June 2002 and also to play at Cyberstock in the Summer of 2002 (date to be announced), an new electronic music in Southern California.

This album is very underrated. Not alot of people know this band but I can tell you as a listener of electronic music, this is one of the most unique bands I have heard, and I like the music a lot, its superb. Very experimental and some songs are good for visualizing.
