It is possible that there are singers alive today with more passion, conviction and beauty than Yolanda Adams working in gospel today, but it's doubtful. It's been a full four years since the glory-giving soprano has released a new album of her own music, and it's actually worth the wait. The banging funk tunes are tight and righteous, while the ballads will knock you clean off your feet. There are a host of guest artists on Day By Day—Mary Mary, Kirk Franklin, Donnie McClurkin, and others, as well as a half dozen of the hottest producers around. And all of that is cool, but none of them are really that necessary. This woman truly has been blessed with enormous talent, and she uses it judiciously and wisely. In fact, Day By Day is easily the best contemporary gospel album of 2005. --Mike McGonigal

Album Description

Day By Day is Yolanda Adams' truest testimonial of perseverance and faith to date. Inspirational messages, mixed with melody and praise, this album promises to be a record you will treasure. From "Alwaysness" and "Be Blessed", both produced by Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis, to title track "Day By Day," Yolanda takes you through a journey of life.

Awesome!!!.......2007-04-04

I love this CD. The music is very inspirational and the lyrics are wonderfully arranged. Yolanda Adams has a gift of song. Praise and worship as well as some heartfelt songs. I'm enjoying it everyday!

Forever Yolanda.......2007-03-11

The consistency and talent you'd always expect from Yolanda is evident on this album. A good mix of heart stirring ballads.

Yolonda helps me pray and relax.......2007-01-12

This is one of the most well written and arranged gospel CD's I have heard in a long time. Yolonda Adams has one of the most beautiful and soothing voices of our time. This CD has a mixture of slow and uptempo gospel hits. Some have a jazzy feel and some make you want to jump to your feet and shout, Hallelujah!!! At any rate if you can't find a song on this CD to help you through whatever situation you may be going through whether you are Christian or not than I don't know what to tell you.

Awesome!!!!.......2006-10-17

There are no other words to describe this CD. God has truly used Yolanda to minister to my soul and heart through her music. My favorite is "This to Shall Pass". I was really going through some things at the time I purchased the CD and hearing this song was just a conformation to what the Lord had been trying to tell me. Praise God!! I love truly every song on this CD. Very Very Well Done!!!

Yolanda Adams releases a very soulful album "Day by Day" On a major recording label Atlantic records........2006-10-10

Yolanda Adams releases a very soulful album "Day by Day" On a major recording label Atlantic records.

Yolanda kicks off the album with an up beat party track "Victory". This is an ok attempt at a contemporary track. Production is nice but the vocal production lets it down. The album gets a nice lift with the next track "Tonight" Featuring Kirk Franklin.

The album continues in this direction with songs like "Day by Day" "Be Blessed" and "Show Me." Yolanda seems to "take it back" back to the times of the greats. Meaning that it a very soulful album. The kind of album you sit back listen and relax to. The music on this album is very relaxing. Production is tiptop. You would expect nothing less with super producers Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis all over the album.

Midway through the album we're thrown a musical treat with "Lift him Up" featuring Donnie McClurkin and Mary Mary. This mid tempo song showing appreciation to God for everything he has done for them.

Yolanda shows us what she does best on this album and that's singing. And boy can she sing. She sings her heart out on "Be Blessed and "This too shall Pass." Only few people can sing there heart out and it still remain about the message and Yolanda is defiantly one of them.

It would have been nice if there was a bit more up beat songs but this is still a strong album

Totally Slaughters Their First Album.......2007-05-28

I too have been a ADTR fan ever since their first album came out. I liked how they could go from being a plain rock/emo band one minute then jump into a breakdown the next. The breakdowns are brutal, although it sounds like they play the same chord every time they do the chug. I love their first album, and when they got signed to Victory, I was anxious to hear how their new album would sound. I was also hoping Victory wouldn't ruin this album as a band.

When they put The Plot To Bomb The Panhandle on their myspace, I was so relieved they didn't change their sound. To me, it sounded like the same ADTR, with better production of course, and it seemed like Jeremy's vocals got a lot better, both his screaming and his singing. I really can't complain about this album. They blend the 2 styles really well and its one of those albums I can listen to all the way through. Every song is amazing. If you like metal/hardcore with singing, and you would like to try something different, check these guys. Listen to them with an open mind.

Personally, I think this album is much better than the first. Another thing about A Day To Remember is the way Jeremy fits his lyrics in the song. Here's To The Past, I Heard It's The Softest Thing Ever, and Start The Shooting are memorable tracks.

Nothing good here.......2007-02-28

THE SETUP: I like rock, metal, punk, and I have many cds that are all over the musical spectrum. Depending on mood, I can like many things...this band is not among them.

AT FIRST LISTEN, I thought the band had a pretty good sound. Heard them at a listening station and bought them after a few minutes of listening. Unfortunately, that's all they're worth listening to, a few minutes.

WHAT'S WRONG WITH THIS ALBUM: They have a punk feel, with a fast tempo for every song. They can be a bit schizo and change it up, varying tempo and intensity with ease. All well and good, until I listened to the next track. Had I pushed repeat on accident?

I like the idea behind their formula, they're just not good enough to pull it off. Okay, they turn from pop-punk (too much pop) to a fake metal sound (screaming over a hard rock riff is not metal). The heaviness is what drew me in, however, it wore thin within ONE LISTEN of the album.

If you listen to the heavy part of each song, they are practically identical. Same sounding riff combined with the same double-bass. No changes in style, substance, and not much variety in tempo. They have a fast or slow heavy style...still the same guitar...still the same double bass. Good for one song, until they do the same riff+double bass on the next song. VERY BORING. They don't spice it up or bring anything new past track 2.

Not worth my price of admission. I'm not big on forumlas and repetiveness, this album has it in spades.

One of the better albulms so far this year........2007-02-07

I would probable give this albulm 4.5 stars if it was allowed. While there is nothing ground breaking on this or anything you haven't heard, this is definatley a CD to add to your collection if your into this kind of music. They are for the most part the typical victory kind of band. They sound like comeback kid, the starting line and killswitch engage combined. I would also compare them heavily to hawthorn heights and silverstein but more poppy and heaver. Musically like many bands there forula is heavy metcore/hard core part, pop punk corus, heavy part, repeat.
While they don't reinvent the wheel here if you like this kind of music you will love this albulm. I bought this CD the day it came out and probable listen to it all the way through at least once usually twice since I have a 2 hour commute. The chorus are catchy as anything fall out boy has done, and the heavy parts are something you would hear from a killswitch albulm. If that sounds good to you go buy this albulm you will love it.

Typical, but cool........2007-01-29

I've been ADTR fan for a really long time now, and even though, yeah, this new album is really generic, it's still awesome. It sounds like the continuation of their last album with more expensive equipment and more studio work. Generic? Yeah. Whatever. It's cool. I like it a lot because they do generic in an interesting and addicting way.

A Band To Forget.......2007-01-27

Where does Victory find these bands? Do they make them in a lab? Every one is more faceless and generic than the last. It's like the refining of a scientific experiment. Genetic engineering to make the most perfect piece of...

If Roast Beef of Old England isn't enough to spawn a dose of contact scurvy, many other of these two dozen salty tunes will set the boat a-rocking. Treasures such as "A Jolly Sailor's True Description of a Man-of-War" and "Drops of Brandy" detail life among British seamen of the early 1800s without dredging up too much of the usual pirates, shipwrecks, or mutiny. It's an historical document of the regular life at sea, inspired by the British Navy novels of Patrick O'Brian, with intentions to anchor the writing in the ordinary sounds and stories of those fictionalized seafaring times. Glad fiddle, fife, and Jerry Bryant's humble six-man choral crew Starboard Mess spill the beans in suitable fashion without a sailor's colorful vocabulary. They supply the "yo ho ho" and annotations, you bring the rum and black powder. --Ian Christe

Set Sail With These Great Songs.......2007-01-28

Jerry Bryant and his Starboard Mess offer up to the listener some wonderful performances of traditional British sailor tunes. They are all performed acapella, and despite other reviewers saying that these songs lack spirit, I find that there's plenty in store. Pennywhistle and fiddle songs are also thrown in and do nothing but add to the enjoyment of this album. Read your favorite Jack Aubrey novel or other seafaring tales such as "Treasure Island" while listening to this album to truly enhance your literary experience. My personal favorites include "Spanish Ladies" and "Bay of Biscay-o."

You should see the looks I get from the little wannabe thugs in their tricked out Hondas listening to hip-hop when I pull up next to them in my conservative white Toyota Camry and I'm belting out lines like "We'll rant and we'll roar like true British sailors...." Jay-Z can't even hold a candle to these wonderful old tunes.

Highly recommended.

Jack Aubrey would have loved it..........2007-01-09

This is the real thing! It takes some time to get into these songs...but then I started to join in. For someone reading O'Brian its a MUST.

Good traditional stuff.......2007-01-05

Just what I was looking for, some traditional British songs from the age of sail. I recomend this for anyone with an interest in British maritime and naval history.

Continuing Enjoyment.......2006-05-05

I've owned this CD for a few years now, and it hasn't become stale yet.

Being a 'younger' person with generally 'younger' preferences in music, and yet still a person thoroughly devoted to Patrick O'Brian and all his works, on first listening I was doubtful.

Another two or three spins around the CD player, though, and I was hooked. Crisp, clear and obviously as historically accurate as they can be, these songs give delight even now.

Best use? Volume dialled up to eleven for the morning drive to work, bellowing along at the top of my voice - and often the bottom of my range! Heart of Oak, Roast Beef of Old England, The Shannon and the Chesapeake - uproarious. Sailor's Jacket is the foot-tappingest instrumental; it still sets my toes a-jumping. And the sweeter songs? Give them plenty of wellie .. Adieu Sweet Lovely Nancy is fabulous.

Other big numbers: A Jolly Sailor's True Description of a Man-of-War, A New Sea Song (Sweethearts & Wives) - which has some fabulously 'historically accurate' narrative within (POB readers will know whereof I speak! ;-} - and Distressed Men-of-War - another song referred to within the POB Canon.

Heartily recommended.

Great CD!.......2005-10-28

I am very impressed with the quality of this CD. The sound is clear and the tones perfect. It was a surprise just how familiar all the song is! They are very vivid and worldly. I bought this CD with out knowing what was on it; I was truly surprised and happy with it. My 6th graders will enjoy learning to this CD, and as well as singing the songs to complement our reading of Treasure Island.

Flashy, Fun, and Flamboyant.......2007-05-31

The Circus March is unfortunately a style of music that is often ignored, yet can be one of the most difficult things to play. Musicians almost have to have a feel for it to achieve the desired effect. Each march contained herein captures both excitement, showmanship, and even a certain degree of comedy that is associated with this style. Listening to these brings back a by-gone era of bearded ladies, roller coasters, and kettle corn. If you play this regularly, you may even begin to smell the peanuts roasting....

stunning musical review.......2005-09-27

This is music I have not heard, or played, for years. Most impressive musicianship. And the tempos are unbelievable! For this size group, it is amazing--and nothing less would be expected.

I am a retired music teacher, and this brought me back to the times when I played in large marching bands, or smaller groups for the local rodeo, as a college student. Great excitement in listening, and being swept away to a time when I had less to worry about.

The music itself has a great affect on me, besides the impressive way in which it is delivered. Great sound. Great precision. Great music that just isn't played or used much anymore. How fun to relive those moments--especially the ones featuring the trombone.

Nice and lively!.......2004-04-28

I was specifically looking for music of the circus and this recording just blew me away. It is clean and well done -- technically speaking. The Eastman Wind Ensemble is spectacular! If you are looking for something that sounds like a circus band, this is NOT it. This is a very professional, high quality recording of some of the best march music ever composed.

Sounds even better than when I first heard it.......2004-03-01

When I first heard the last eleven marches on this recording; I heard them on tape, and I really enjoyed them, this was back in 1988 when I was in the seventh grade. When I moved in the winter of 1988, I lost that tape. I was very sad when I did, and it was not until the summer of 2002 that I saw this recording at amazon; 14 years later still great, and sounds even better on CD than it did on tape. This time was even better, because it has even more marches, in the old tape, it had what on this recording are tracks 17-28. Tracks 1-16 are equally good, this recording is of a great sentimental value for me...I hope you enjoy as much as I have 14 years later....

A staple.......2003-06-14

A great collection of marches not by Sousa conducting by none other than Fennell. You can't go wrong having this in your band CD collection.

an excellent sampler of patriotic military music.......2003-02-17

I love this CD because it combines into one disc many outstanding and well recorded (Telarc DDD) performances of a variety of patriotic military tunes. For someone who doesn't want to break down and buy the entire "Victory at Sea" set, along with soundtracks to "Patton," "Casablanca" and more, this is a fine choice. My only complaint would be that conductor Kunzel has a habit of adding his own flourishes to pieces. But the outstanding clarity of the Telarc sound and the grandness of the Cincinnati Pops counters this.

These are not the same arrangements as the original movie soundtracks.......2007-01-21

I was disappointed that these are not the same arrangements as the original movie soundtracks. For example, in Colonel Bogey, the countermarch from the movie soundtrack is not included in the arrangement on this CD. Don't get me wrong, the songs are good, but I would have preferred the same arrangements as the original movies.

An outstanding compilation.......2006-08-25

This compilation is superb and a real must-buy. From Band of Brothers to A Bridge Too Far: every war movie theme is represented here. An all time classic.

The really good ones are missing........2005-07-18

While this compilation has some masterpieces such as the theme from The Great Escape and Is Paris Burning, it's missing some of the finest tracts ever written. Where is the theme from Victory and Ernest Gold's stirring epic from Cross of Iron? The closing theme from Inchon was also a feast for the ears, but it's not here. It was written by Jerry Goldsmith, one of the foremost soundtrack composers of our time. Instead we're subjected to the likes of Hanover Street and The English Patient. I'll admit Inchon and Victory weren't Academy Award winning movies, but their soundtracks were second to none. As John Stossel would say," Give me a break"!!!

On the Last Day has a very refined, good quality sound. There is good energy and the intro is actually pretty catchy. The screaming is not overdone and sounds good as well.

Unfortunately for us everything on this album has been done more than once to say the least. It is overall incredibly generic with little variation from beginning to end.

If you want the standard upstart post-hardcore sound for some background music then it doesn't get much better than this. Otherwise I would definitely not recommend this cd. Hopefully this band wakes up and sees whats going on around them because they have a lot of talent going to waste.

Its good, but...........2006-09-25

Dont get me wrong, this cd is catchy as hell. Along with that, the vocalist is VERY talented. Also, the first song has a wonderful drumline, but, the problem is, they use it in every song throughout the whole album. The only differences were a slight change of tempo in some, and an extra beat here and there in others. Great Lyrics, good guitar work, WONDERFUL singing but the drumming distracts me and forces me to give this a lower grade than the rest of it deserves.

I hope the drumming improves on the next album.

Entertaining.......2006-08-29

I generally dont get into screamo, but i would really hardly call this a screamo offering so its ok.
Melodic vocals with a more traditional punk beat than most of the s.hit being served up today.
Very impressive debut!!

Great Music from a Great City.......2006-08-27

On the Last Days debut album Meaning in the Static is a great debut album. If you like fast paced rock/screamo you should check out this cd. I think that 3 of the members of the band scream/sing so the vocals never get old. If you get the chance get Wars Like Whispers by On the last day. It only has 6 songs but it is equally as good.

Actually a great recording -.......2003-10-12

The more I listened to this CD, the more I was blown away by some of the arrangements and orchestrations. Some of it I'd heard before i.e. the Oklahoma! overture based on the Robert Russell Bennet film arrangement; some of it I hadn't heard quite this way like the "Babes in Arms" overture or "Surrey with a Fringe on Top" in swing time. I especially liked the "My Favorite Things" arrangement which diverges from the original. I highly recommend it because most of the arrangements/orchestrations are very powerful in their own right and you may not have heard it all before. A few of the arrangements feature newer vocalists as the other reviews indicate. I reserve comment on this one because it is always difficult to compare an unfamiliar vocalist with Julie Andrews for example.
Also, I have taped two 1 hour Rodgers specials off PBS which feature some of these performances. I'd love for PBS to put these episodes on a DVD instead of the usual pledge drive DVD fare.

The glass is half full on this project.......2002-10-16

To do a celebration of Richard Rodgers music is simply grand. Without question he was the backbone of what we have come to know as "Broadway Magic".

For this occasion the Boston Pops did a good job of paying tribute to this master tunesmith. I think Richard would be more than proud to see his masterpieces performed in such a manner.
BRAVO to the B.P.O.!

If there were any shortcomings to this project it would have to be two things. First, I felt like they should have used better vocalists. Second, I felt like the repertoire was not as good as it could have been. Some of the tunes performed here I really disliked. I can think of a lot of songs I would have rather been listening to.

I think it would safe to recommend this cd to all the die hard Richard Rodgers fans.

Rodgers - 5, Pops - 3.......2002-09-15

Keith Lockart is certainly a solid heir to the Boston Pops of Arthur Fiedler. His performances are crisp, and lively. The Pops likes working with him, and it shows. And, I own every Keith Lockart/Boston Pops disc so far. But....although there were some interesting additions to this repertoire, especially the scenario of "Victory at Sea", I was really turned off by the so-so vocal renditions. They really detracted from the overall fun of the disc. Certainly the music of Richard Rodgers is timeless (not EVERTHING he wrote was delicious), but Lockhart missed the boat with this one. It's a neat album if you have a player that can pick and choose what you listen to, but after the first few tunes, I got a bit restless.

A Mixed Bag.......2002-07-18

The two most interesting items in this collection are "Slaughter on Tenth Avenue" in an effective arrangement Broadway orchestrator/arranger Hans Spialek made for Paul Whiteman and "The March of the Clowns" from "Nursery Ballet," a number from a Whiteman commission recently discovered in the bandleader's archives. Patrick Hollenbeck arranged the march for the Pops and has the style right, so it's too bad the other two movements of the original suite weren't included in this release.

Otherwise, the most satisfying selections on the disc are the Main Title from the film version of "Oklahoma!" (the work of Robert Russell Bennett), the overture to "Babes in Arms" (Don Walker's orchestration captures the spirit of the Broadway original in full orchestra terms), "D-Day" (Lockhart paces it more as a jaunty march than an epic one), and the "Carousel Waltz."

I confess that I like big-orchestra arrangements of show music even though I know I'm not supposed to, but the remaining instrumental numbers are played in arrangements (by Sammy Nestico, Don Sebesky, and Alexander Courage) that I don't like. They are mostly fussy, heavy, lacking in fun, and tinged with elements from the Big Band era that sound out of place in these surroundings. It's too bad Hollenbeck didn't do these arrangements, too. Failing that, the Pops music library must still have arrangements Bennett, Leroy Anderson, and Richard Hayman did of Rodgers scores, and I don't understand why they weren't used here. They never wear out their welcome.

The singers are uniformly disasters. Martina McBride ("My Favorite Things"), Jason Danieley ("I Have Dreamed"), and Collin Raye ("The Sound of Music") are described on the label as "vocalists." The term tells you all you need to know about their lack of any sense of the appropriate style for their numbers. They are club, not theater, singers. Their vocalizings can't hurt Rodgers, but they are jarring to the listener in the context of the rest of this disc. Their voices, as voices, are mediocre, and the arrangements (each by a different person) of the pieces don't help. (Some comparably dubious items have been included in most recent Pops recordings. Each has some interesting, unusual things along with others that don't really belong. I wonder if they are the price Lockhart has to pay in order to record the interesting stuff.)

The Boston Symphony and Pops were the orchestras I grew up with, so it hurts to have to say that this disc is such a mixed bag.

(By the way, Nelson Riddle recorded an LP of his own splendid arrangements of the principal numbers from "Oklahoma!", and I wish Capitol would resurrect it from the vaults as a salute to Rodgers's memory in his centennial year.)

Boston Pops: A Richard Rodgers Celebration.......2002-05-08

What a wonderful celebration this recording is! The scope and beauty of Richard Rodgers' music has seldom been given a better airing than on this CD by the Boston Pops. An absolutely stunning recording in both performance and choice of selections. We are treated not only to fresh and memorable instrumental renditions of beloved standards such as "The Surrey With The Fringe On Top", "Where Or When" and "Shall We Dance", but also to a few of Richard Rodgers' less frequently heard compositions such as the jazzy "Grant Avenue", the stirring "D-Day Theme" from Victory At SEA, and a premier recording of a very delightful "March Of The Clowns", a piece originally commissioned by Paul Whiteman in the 1930s. The artists chosen to sing the three vocals on this CD are exceptional. In fact, this particular recording would be worth owning if for no other reason than to enjoy Jason Danieley's spine-tingling rendition of "I Have Dreamed". And after hearing Mr. Collin Raye's beautiful masculine rendition of "The Sound Of Music", one will never again think of that classic as being primarily suited only for a female vocalist. In short, this Boston Pops CD is a richly satisfying treat -- lush and nostalgic, as well as being upbeat and as contemporary as year 2002 -- a worthy tribute to the timelessness of Mr. Rodgers' musical genius.

Victory at Sea, Volume I, More Victory at Sea.......2006-03-05

I have purchased two copies of each CD from different sources and find the recordings are apparently faulty on the last two tracks of each. I thought my first incident was my fault, however, the second had the same flaw.

Amazon lists wrong conductor.......2004-03-21

Amazon lists Richard Rodgers as both the composer and conductor. Of course, Robert Russell Bennett is the conductor. Amazon's correction form doesn't allow for an accurate correction suggestion. I haven't played my old records for a while, but the CD sounds as I remember them. Too bad it doesn't contain the full contents of the three records.

A few good pieces missing.......2003-10-15

I have a 2-audiotape set with 3 additional pieces that are sadly missing here. Magnetic North so well portrays the cold and harsh war in the Aleutian Islands as it was presented in the TV series. It always raises goose bumps at its haunting conclusion with strings emulating the artic winds. Mediterranean Mosaic and Mare Nostrum are 2 others that I would have preferred over the Symphonic Suite, which I have never heard on 2 different audio tape versions or a 33 1/3 vinyl set.

disappointment.......2003-05-15

After reading the reviews and discovering that the CD is not the same as the original records that I still own, I do not plan on purchasing the CD until RCA releases what was/is a magnificent piece of work. Perhaps it is political corectness that is keeping them from releasing the "original" work "uncensored". Until such time as they give the present generation a look into one of the greatest recordings made, I will stay with my 33 1/3 rpm recordings, and transfer them to my computer myself...

Remembering the Victory at Sea TV Series.......2003-01-09

The most memorable portion of the Victory at Sea music is the descriptive and haunting "Song of the High Seas" introduction. Rodgers was absolutely brillant in matching the music to the film footage of the series. His marches and many of the other themes can be easily hummed. I find myself doing it all the time. I believe the original music became available in 331/3 LPs. Three were issued. The first one was played by "Members of the NBC Symphony" conducted by Bennett. It was later reissued with the orchestra as the RCA Victor Symphony(assembled for special performances). There is a slight difference in the sound and tempo of "Song of the High Seas" between the two orchestras. Two more LPs followed, both performed by the RCA Symphony with sound effects(airplanes, artillery) added in the third LP. All of the music from the 3 LPs were then put together into the two CDS now available("blue" and "red" ones). The "green" one contains selections from both. I do not know if the entire score was ever performed in concert. I believe the "Symphonic Suite"(selection of the major themes) was arranged by Bennett and was done, so it could be performed at concerts. It is also included on the CDs. There was at one time a recording done by the Cincinnati Pops of Victory at Sea selections, but I have not listened to it. This is really fine music, Richard Rodgers, at his best and admirably performed by the RCA Victor Symphony.
