Christian Rock Made Cool.......2007-07-15

This San Diego based band have kept the style of modern rock alive with this 2004 release that first got noticed by the strength of the Top 20 hit, "Meant to Live." Switchfoot have recorded your basic 101, feel good album by having great songs, infectious pop hooks, and introspective lyrics. As songwriters, they have a flair for radio melody while not afraid to challenge the human psyche in "Dare You to Move," one of the best songs to hit the charts in ages. They're also not afraid to speak their minds to the collective consiousness in "Ammunition." Other tracks worth mentioning include "This is Your Life," and the memorable and inspirational, "More Than Fine."

I like this CD.......2007-04-10

I really like Swichfoot is a good CD like seeing Artist doing Christian Music our world is fallen and needs a Savior!

Perhaps their best overall album!.......2007-03-07

Switchfoot has grown in leaps and bounds with every release since their debut, The Legend of Chin, in 1997. This album marks their coming-out as mainstream artists, and it was successful for many reasons. First, all 4 musicians are talented and passionate. Second, they present a hope and a positive message in a world saturated by superficial or negative messages. Third, this album shows off the band's diversity and humour. Here is a brief track-by-track analysis of The Beautiful Letdown.

Meant to Live - Possibly my favourite guitar riff of the past 5 years starts this one off. This song rocks!
This is Your Life - Love the synth opening on this one, and the sort of ethereal (am I using this word correctly?) feel to the entire song. Not rock, not really even pop, but man, what a song!
More Than Fine - This song seemed destined to be a radio favourite, but never was released. I love listening to this one in my car... it just has a certain quality to it that demands the listener to examine life around them.
Ammunition - I used to think this one was about how Christians are like ammunition, poised to attack "the enemy" or whatever. But I now know we are the ammunition, we are the weapon that is being used against our own cause - love in Jesus Christ. WE are the ones turning people off from Him!
Dare You to Move - This one also finds itself on Learning to Breathe, the previous release, but sounds a lot better on this one, and fits the album thematically. Despite it being a "do-over", I still consider it the best song on this album!
Redemption - Sad that this one was left off their set list at their concerts, because it's an awesome song, musically and lyrically. Love the guitar-and-drum opening, and the sweet bass line!
The Beautiful Letdown - My least favourite track on the CD, though the message is awesome. We are bound to be let down by this life, because we weren't created for life on earth! We're heaven-bound, and we'll never be let down there!
Gone - Quirkiest song on the CD. This is something they have kind of strayed from in recent years (at least on their actual releases). This one is just fun from start to finish!
On Fire - Beautiful ballad. So raw, so passionate. Love it!
Adding to the Noise - Definitely a sign-of-the-times song about how we tend to busy ourselves with so much stuff that life passes us by.
24 - Amazing end to an amazing album. This one is so introspective... love the line, "I am the second man now."

If you do not have this CD, you seriously do not know what you're missing out on! It is definitely still to this day one of my favourite albums by any artist!

My sister is always taking this cd from me.......2007-01-03

We love this cd so much! If you want to hear the best of Switchfoot, buy this cd! I've liked some of what I heard of Switchfoot in the past, but all the songs on this soundtrack are great! The lyrics also send out a wakeup call to those Christians who are just living to get by and fit into the crowd by asking them if they are who they're meant to be. For Christians they are to meant to live to glorify God first and foremost in all that they do and I think that this is brought out in this cd.

One of the best.......2006-07-12

I am one of those who not only loves great music, but lyrics that make me think. Switchfoot has hit on both with this release. Meant to Live, This Your Life, Dare You to Move headline a cd that challenges us in our lives and point us to something greater. Sample these songs especially and see what you think!

With over 15 acclaimed films to his credit, actor Jared Leto knew he had a challenge in creating a legitimate musical group, and the fact that a great many gifted thespians have pumped out some pretty awful albums hasn't slowed him at all. "Any time you have a precedent that's negative like that, you're gonna have an uphill battle," he agrees. "I've never shied away from that." Yet 30 Seconds To Mars' self-titled 2002 debut easily established the group as a fresh, new force, revealing a multi-faceted outfit that thrived on creative exploration and escape.

Three years later, their follow-up, A Beautiful Lie, catapulted the group to even greater success. Where the debut's line-up featured Jared on all guitar, bass, synth and vocals with brother Shannon on drums, a full collaboration developed with A Beautiful Lie, including guitarist Tomo Milicevic and bassist Matt Wachter. "The last thing we wanted to do was make the same record twice," Leto explains. Hundreds of tour dates and a 1996 MTV Nomination for "Best Video" later, 30 Seconds To Mars are proving their stability and still challenging their position. "We're interested in being as modern as we can," Leto concludes. "We're striving to do something different, to look forward rather than back, to be free from the shadows of our inspiration, and to continue, with our voice to make our mark."

This CD is awesome!.......2007-06-10

I LOVE 30 Seconds to Mars. Jared Leto finds a way to reinvent himself with each release, and it is so refreshing to hear something that doesn't sound like everything else on the radio. I highly recommend this CD.

A Beautiful Lie - Beautifully Enhanced.......2007-04-12

I highly recommend this to any 30STM fan, even those who already have the album - A Beautiful Lie. The enhanced DVD enables the fan to take a closer look at the making of 'The Kill' video, plus a full version of the video... and other interviews. The enhanced CD is not to be missed !
For anyone who isn't sure... be curious, dont miss out.

An amazing and unexpected treasure.......2007-03-22

NOTE: The full CD is available without the DVD and the hefty price. Just search for it on Amazon and look for the WHITE jacket. This review covers the music on the CD only.

We are fairly fickle about our CD collection and the quality the bands must maintain. Having said that, some bands are not purchases out-of-the-gate, or on release day. For a few, like this 30 Seconds to Mars CD, they have to glean our interest from radio and video releases first.

And wow, have they done that. Once FROM YESTERDAY came out, we knew we had to own the CD. But it was soon apparent that was only the beginning. If you are worried that the constant yelling vocals of Jared Leto may indicate an album that is "less than," DON'T BE! From start to finish this CD has no deletable tracks - a feature that gets quite a bit of use in our household (we can clear CD tracks from the player that we do not want it to play).

Don't waver any more if you are questioning the addition of this CD to your collection. The radio and video hits are only a hint of what is being offered, and we look forward to the next 30 Seconds to Mars release.

I cannot really equate them to any other band, which is the most difficult part of assessing the quality of the 30 Seconds tracks. That alone should be an indicator of why this CD is a must-own.

Just discovered this group -- glad I did.......2007-02-16

Saw a video from this album last month on LOGO tv and really liked it. It was a Valentine's Day gift for 2007 and I liked all of the songs equally which is rather rare on many albums these days. If you like gothic/metal music then this might be for you.

Music we all need to hear once in a while........2007-01-04

This album is well put together and I enjoy the old standards. Music is an integral part of our heritage. Often when I listen to this album, I think about what our country has been through and how very, very important it is to appreciate what we have. I spent 3 years living in France in the 60's and I cannot tell you how much all Americans looked forward to going "Home!"

Enjoy!!

A very good CD.......2005-06-16

If you like a mix of songs and marches very well played, this CD is for you. The voices of the singers are good, the music support the lyrics and it is easy to listen or to sing along. Also, nearby half of the tunes are played by the Band of the Grenadier Guards and for me, this Band is the best band to play Sousa marches and military marches. The precision of the execution is perfect, the sound is lovely and the technical quality of the recording is perfect. When I listen Anchors Aweigh, I always hear the sound of the waves and it is one of the only bands that gives me this feeling. If you have just one CD of military music to buy, you may buy this one; it is a best buy.

Revision of history.......2005-03-27

As usual, "Dixie," "The Bonnie Blue Flag," and other songs of a Southern genre are conspicuously absent. Why not throw in a couple of rap tunes to make this album truly "American?"

Lovely CD--shameful misspelling on the song titles.......2002-11-22

I do not own this CD--though it appears it would be a wonderful album to listen to. I was compelled to write my review because of the misspelling of our national anthem, The Star-Spangled Banner (as opposed to "The Star Bangled Banner" as it appears not once but twice on the song list). I do hope this error is corrected.

The Ultimate Patriotic Album.......2002-07-20

For all those patriots out there who want to listen to classical patriotic music, then get this album. This has a lot of tracks from yankee doodle march to the Washington post march. Even Amazing grace is here. The orchestras and the chorus here, gave there best performance ever.

Enjoy

Feels Good.......2007-07-10

Got hooked on Roger Clyne & the Peacemakers at their Rocky Point concert 5/2007. Their music is awesome! Got this CD and Americano!

Peacemakers with a twist...of lime.......2007-06-29

Americano is the most significant album, start to finish, that Roger has ever written. This is not Americano but harkens to a beautiful mix of Fizzy, Fuzzy, Big and Buzzy and the classic Peacemaker chords. The Peacemakers are not the Refreshments: they're better.

Buy it. You'll question the direction on the first pass and love it on the second.

The Peacemakers are making the most significant, organic contribution to new rock music in America today. If you doubt it, go see a concert: anywhere. You will be amazed

Not Giving Up Yet...but I Continue to Hope for Better.......2007-06-22

I'll admit that I am perhaps a little too attached to Honky Tonk Union, but I have really struggled to embrace the direction that Roger Clyne and the Peacemakers are going. Clyne continues to have strong chops, and the musicianship remains top notch. The song-writing, at least to my ears, has been on a bit of a decline over the last couple of albums. No More Beautiful World has a moment or two that reminds me why I became a fan, but I can't justify listening to an album front to back for a moment or two. It's understandable that bands need to evolve, but until that evolution equals or surpasses their origins, I wish RCPM could do a little more channeling or their early work.

rcpm.......2007-06-21

not there best album but there are some good songs here. give it a listen before you buy

Great Stuff.......2007-05-21

Don't even think about a Buffett comparison, Roger's a much better lyricist. This is a great album. Just buy it.

Salute to America.......2006-07-27

Very similar in quality and music to I Love A Parade and a very upbeat reminder of why we are a patriotic nation. The arrangements and quality of the songs are great.

A good choice but..........2005-06-29

It is not the best CD that I have bought but it is an honest one. The orchestration is good, the choice of tunes is excellent and the tunes are well played. As you know, it is always difficult to say : I like it or I hate it because hearing a CD is a question of personal point of view. In my case, I may not say that I like it or I hate it, I prefer some other orchestration but it us a good CD.

Ho-Hum.......2005-06-08

I wanted some rousing marching music. This album is half asleep. The sound quality is poor. Apparently Mr. Williams writes better music than he conducts.

"Boston Pops".. Alway's do the Job!.......2001-10-03

John Williams/Boston Pops.. Salute to America.

And they do! They salute America! This is a wonderful C.D
Battle Hymn of the Republic, is great..

New York, New York,will bring tears to your eyes!
12 renditions in all..

All these are performed wonderfully, and well worth the money!

I would recommend this to anyone who loves patriotic music, it will stir the heart and soul of Americans....

Full-Spirited.......2000-09-02

I'm a classical music/opera person for the most part. But I find this CD entralling. Even the organization of the CD is ideal-almost like a symphony--with the rousing Candide Overture and the musical medleys at the beginning, the patriotic songs as the B section, and the Dixieland and other music from American musicals to finish up. And I particularly like the orchestration of the medleys. A wonderful CD.

Eeww!.......2006-06-19

This is like the music to one of those theme park Celebrate America type shows. The musical arrangements have that hokey, somewhat dated, overly sweet and enthusiatic feel I hate. I thought I was getting the standard versions of these songs but what I got was the cruise ship extravaganza, yuck!

this land is your land.......2006-04-17

to think that "this land is your land" is a patriotic song is laughable at best, however is a common misconception of the song. you'd think that the creators of this cd would research the songs they put on the cd a little more, and find that "this land is your land" is actually a protest song (original lyrics contained lyrics such as "on that sign there it said private property/but on the other side it didn't say nothing/that side was made for you and me", an obvious attack on capitalism".

America's Favorite Patriotic Songs.......2005-09-30

The title says it all.
Good old fashioned "goose bump" music.

Great Place to Start a Patriotic Music Collection.......2002-09-12

This choral collection features a majority of the best known and loved patriotic songs from our country's history. I'll admit I was a little leery of the choral part when I first picked it up, but I've found that, for the most part, it works really well.

It especially stands out on the acappella version of "My Country 'Tis of Thee." It's absolutely stunning. Other fun songs are "This Land is Your Land," which I really wasn't familiar with before I bought this, and a personal recent favorite song "God Bless the USA." I love having the "Armed Forces Medley" on here so I can learn these songs. And the instrumental arrangement on "Stars and Stripes Forever Medley" at the end has me taping my toes every time I hear it.

There are a couple missteps, however. I've heard better versions of "The Star Spangled Banner." I think one reason I'm disappointed with it is that they only include one verse. I love the other verses of our national anthem, and wished they'd included at least one more since they included multiple verses of all the other songs. Also, "If My People" and "God Save America," while find songs, just don't seem to fit here.

Overall, you can't go wrong with this collection. I'm just starting to look for patriotic music, and this has been a wonderful first CD.

Another great tune!.......2007-06-19

As resplendent as I think she is and as much as I'm in awe of her talent, I think Beyoncé is becoming slightly overexposed. Her sheer ubiquity is getting a bit tedious, quite frankly and I often find myself feeling that if she would just go away for a while I'd appreciate her all the more upon her return. Shakira, I've never heard of before now and judging her solely on her voice, I don't believe I've missed anything. Together in the video, the two of them look like a pair of... well, let's just say I was totally unimpressed. I was left thinking no wonder my sister won't let her young daughters (aged 5 and 11) watch MTV.

But none of that can take away from the sheer power of this song. I'm not a huge r&b fan (anymore) but this one is something really special. I can just imagine it doing big things in clubs and at parties world-wide. I can see it crossing culture and language barriers with total ease. I always give credit where I think it's due and I believe Stargate, alongside Ms Knowles, Shakira and Eduardo Cabra, did a great job producing the tune.

I also love the Maurice Joshua Remix of "Irreplaceable". It's a totally funky house mix and reminds me of my wild and carefree clubbing days in NYC, way back when. Glorious stuff.

Customer Reviews:

with a song in my heart/pal joey sound tracks.......2007-03-31

I actually was so pleased to see a CD available because I have been longing for the movie "with a song in my heart" to become available on VHS and then on DVD, and it never has, so now at least I can enjoy the songs from the movie. The cast track from Pal Joey was just an added bonus.

With A Song In My Heart CD.......2007-03-19

I saw the film, "With A Song In My Heart" when I was twelve or thirteen years old and have wanted the sound track for many years. As an impressionable teenager in the 1950s, I have collected over time many of the films from that time on VHS or DVD, to satisfy my memories of the period. I regret that this particular film is not available on VHS or DVD, but, this CD is the next best choice. It is really enjoyable to hear the richness and depth of the voice of Jane Froman, who was one of the best singers of the time. I can still recall many scenes from the film and this CD revives the memories so well.

A Jane Froman double feature........2006-09-16

This DRG CD pairs two recordings starring Jane Froman.

WITH A SONG IN MY HEART

Susan Hayward played Jane Froman in the film but Froman herself dubbed the vocals. This album of songs was originally issued as a 10" Lp. None of the tracks are taken from the film: They are all studio re-recordings. Later, Capitol re-released it as a 12" LP with two extra songs added. It is that expanded [program included here. Froman is in great voice, though the orchestrations are overly lush and string heavy. Still, the songs include such standards as "It's a Good Day", "Get Happy", and "Embraceable You" making for an enjoyable mini-concert.

PAL JOEY

Capitol's cast album of the 1952 revival has long been a collector's item. The original Lp was deleted in 1960 and did not resurface until Broadway Angel released it on CD (briefly) in 1993. As the stars of the revival Harold Lang and Vivienne Segal had already made a studio cast album for Columbia - an album that helped inspire the revival - they were unable to re-record their songs for Capitol, and the label turned to Jane Froman and Dick beavers to fill in. The revised orchestrations sound dated now, but here is a chance to hear Elaine Stritch singing "Zip" and to enjoy the lusty voice of Helen Gallagher early in her career.

In the end it's the WITH A SONG IN MY HEART selections (making their debut on CD here) that make this CD worthwhile. For PAL JOEY the studio recording (available from SONY) is preferable, however if one is so inclined you can assemble your own cast album of the '52 revival by combining tracks from both releases.

"Pal Joey's" Pal.......2006-07-30

While the legubrious and over-orchestrated songs from the film "With a Song in My Heart" are typical of their era (and Jane Froman's stilted renditions are what once stood for emoting) the "Pal Joey" cast recording is an absolute delight. The orchestrations are bouncy and jazzy in a way that has long been forgotten, and the performances (except for the aforementioned Ms. Froman, whose Vulgnarian renditions are at times quite disconcerting, and who hits the sonic notes like lazer beems but misses the emotional ones by a country mile) are exceptional. Helen Gallagher deserved her Tony from the evidence of this recording, with Elaine Stritch not far behind her. But the overall impact surpasses any recording of "Joey" including the historic one that lead to this revival. There's energy, intensity and a whole lot of fantastic song writing (leave it to to Rogers and Hart) to satisfy any musical theater fan. A must have for anyone who loves "Old Broadway."

another great twofer from DRG.......2004-01-21

Jane Froman was one of the top vocalists of her era. Froman's greatness is celebrated in this new 2-on-1 album, which comprises the film soundtrack of WITH A SONG IN MY HEART as well as the 1952 Broadway revival cast album of PAL JOEY.

WITH A SONG IN MY HEART was the life story of Jane Froman, with the lovely Susan Hayward in the lead role. Froman herself supplied the singing for the film. Numbers include "It's a Good Day", the bittersweet and humorous "They're Either Too Young or Too Old", "Blue Moon", "Get Happy", "Tea for Two" and "I'm Thru with Love".

The 1952 Broadway revival of PAL JOEY was the result of the huge success of a studio album released by Columbia the year before (which featured Vivienne Segal reprising her original role of Vera and Harold Lang as Joey). Segal and Lang headlined the new revival with Helen Gallagher (SWEET CHARITY, HAZEL FLAGG) as Gladys Bumps and Elaine Stritch (ON YOUR TOES, GOLDILOCKS) as reporter Melba Snyder.

Having already recorded their roles for the Columbia album, Segal and Lang saw little need in re-recording them for the revival album on the Capitol label. Instead, the roles of Vera and Joey were covered by Jane Froman and Dick Beavers.

The cast album suffers on many levels. First, the absence of Segal and Lang is quite distracting, and secondly the new Overture can't even compare with the scintillanting original.

The Columbia studio album is the version to buy in addition to this, though both albums have their strong and weak points. As per usual, Elaine Stritch brings her impressive and formidable comic timing to the fore in the show-stopping "Zip", and Helen Gallagher's silvery voice is perfect for "That Terrific Rainbow".

A fine addition to your collection. [DRG 19054]

Didn't like it.......2007-07-12

I didn't like "Beautiful Liar" even though I like both Beyonce and Shakira. I am fans of both artists but this collabortion is just horrible. Beyonce has released great songs like "Crazy In Love", "Baby Boy" ,"Deja Vu" and "Irraplaceable." Shakira has released great songs like "Hips Don't Lie", "Whenever, Wherever" and "Underneath Your Clothes." You'd think a collaboration would be good--it isn't. This song isn't memorable at all. I was expecting a lot with these two talents collaborating. I was really let down. Sorry B And Shakira--thumbs DOWN!

Hypnotic.......2007-05-03

There are times where a duet can be absolutely surprising. Although there haven't been many good ones these past few years, some of them have worked well. Beyonce has shown a surprise or two with duets, adn her latest one is definitely so far her best. Beautiful Liar, her collaboration with Shakira is so far her best song yet. The song is very upbeat, and really brings out a seductive tune that is just electrifying. Although Beyonce is a bit overdone, this is definitely a good song for any die hard fan, or anyone who love the beat. This one does seduce well, but it isn't a liar.

Song: B-

Credible single from two of the most entertaining female artists.......2007-04-19

I only recently started listening to current hit radio singles, and with all of the tinny hip-hop beats infesting the charts, Beyoncé and Shakira's "Beautiful Liar", with its string/horn instrumentation, is definitely a breath of fresh air. While its general theme may be nothing new in terms of lyrics, it works for both of the divas' voices (both Beyonce's sassy belting and Shakira's thinner and softer tones) and brings a sound to the table that incorporates the styles of both women. I'm still in awe about how well it lends itself to both R&B and Latin pop without being cheesily overproduced. It being one song, I can't say much more about it, but it is both worthy of its radio airplay and a musical success all its own.

Unbelievable.......2007-03-06

I can NOT express in words the joy that I am experiencing listening to this album(and I'm not even under the influence). Refreshing, pure, melodic, and every other positive quality in all of the previous reviews. I personally enjoy this more than the "We're Already Gone" album. It has more of a Caribbean feel. Heavy regga overtones. Good but this one has the beachier more relaxed feeling that I love oh so much.

Very good.......2006-11-06

I am a big fan of Jack Johnson and bought this CD on a reccomendation. It is a chilled-out lyric focused album perfect for summertime.

An Amazing CD..........2006-03-01

Wow, I did not expect to hear this. Who ARE these guys? I was hesitant at first to order it because there was no way to hear any of the tracks, but I knew who Mason Jennings was and I liked his style so I took a chance. Unbelievable! This is album is completely stripped down, you can practically hear them recording in someone's basement. They've got a funky, chilled-out, reggae/rock vibe and soulful lyrics. This CD is a must-have if you like Jack Johnson, Ben Harper, Mason Jennings, etc. or if you just love great acoustic music.

Hidden Treasure.......2006-02-27

If you are a fan of Jack Johnson, Ben Harper, etc.. you will love this album. I was hesistant to purchase this at first, since I had never heard anything about the band, but I ended up making a great choice by purchasing this fabulous cd. It is unfortunate that there aren't more of The Beautiful Girls' albums in the US.

dreaming of summer..........2006-02-03

4 weeks ago i moved from Sydney, Australia (the hometown of the Girls) to Zurich Switzerland. I've always liked this album, its got some nice catchy acoustic pop tunes but its only since I've moved that its taken on new meaning. The Beautiful Girls are truly one of Australia's best kept secrets and one of their best live acts. While they may not have the dynamic stage presence that other aussie bands like AC/DC or Wolfmother have, these guys are really fantastic.

"Learn Yourself" was the then 3 piece's first full length album (they have since been joined by multi-instrumentalist Filipe). In many ways it is still their best release, showcasing the understated singing/songwriting talent of frontman Matt McHugh anchored down by a rootsy rhythm section consisting of Clay McDonald on bass and Mitch Connelly on drums. Despite their stripped down setup, they have produced some incredibly varied sounds: from the dark, chilled reggae of "blackbird" to the crowdstarting rhythm of "music", from the perfectly flawed harmonies on "freedom pt.2" to the morose tear-jerker "la mar".

I saw the band live on their "we're already gone" tour of 2005 and were one of the best live acts I've ever seen. They have since progressed to a more complex carribean/latin sound complete with horn sections and improvised jams, but the crowd always responded most to the songs from this album. It's rare to find a band that can find such a fantastic sound so quickly, but with their unique mixture of roots, reggae, and classic acoustic ballads, its a sound that I hope will be around for a lot longer.
