It's flatly unfair that the Gossip aren't a massive success, a rocknroll giant slayer, especially as they unleash another 10-song, 30-minute zinger like Standing in the Way of Control. Singer Beth Ditto's boundless, whether shouting out the title song's chorus or feather-dusting the lyric on Meg White-sounding album closer, "Dark Lines." The band rocks with an unerring simplicity, a leanness that writhes. The big-beat, hop-along (and sing-along) "Listen Up," is the centerpiece here, a stripped focus on the Gossip's core conviction, that rhythm can rock like little else. The tune has Ditto holding court over a bluntly simple one-two beat, cautioning a crowd that by rights ought to be tenfold larger: "now gather round/now listen up," warning them that "some people talk way too much." As Ditto stuns, drummer Hannah Blilie's beat pounds, and Brace Paine's guitar lays down a simple law. Ignorance of that law is no excuse. --Andrew Bartlett

Album Description

Gossip have returned two years after their last release with a new drummer and a slightly new sound. Described as everything from dance-punk to "Pointer Sisters without synths", this is a preview of their upcoming album, coming out in January. "Standing In The Way Of Control" comes backed with a stellar remix by Le Tigre, with art by Kim Gordon of Sonic Youth.

There Is Still Great Music Out There And Right Here.......2007-04-23

This cd by the Gossip is one of those rare ones that you let play all the way through and then start it over again. Very distinct vocals from Beth Ditto and very good music. My personal favorite tracks are the title cut and HOLY WATER.

Good singer but..........2007-03-23

OK so this is one of the big things in the NME at the moment. It is not that bad but also not that great. The singing is really very very good but the music is little mroe than unoriginal derivative new wave. As I write the singer has a lot of potential but the rest is not that great.

Gossip are lethal.......2007-02-05

Hi Guys

I have to say i disagree with the above-mentioned reviews. I haven't felt the same way about a band since i was going through a large White Stripes phase some years ago.

This band are very similar to the Whites Stripes in that they have that stripped down, bedroom sounding production similar to Elephant. They also have the same type of bluesey guitar licks. The vocals are absolutely tremendous, bringing a soul voice to a rock band, although if she went on American Idol they would slate her.

It is of course the songs themselves that cement this record. Every song is a stone cold hit. The chorus of "coal to diamonds" has so much emotion it makes me feel nauseous.

The only downside is that the chorus of "Keeping you Alive" sounds slightly tacked on, even though it makes the main riff of that song sound cooler.

It is also worth noting that this band are hot enough to have tracks remixed by Belgian rock/dance crossover Soulwax and Le Tigre.

If these guys really float your boat it is worth checking out The Invisible Deck the Rogers Sisters.

Gossip.......2007-01-10

Beth Ditto has one of the strongest voices today, very reminiscent of Janis Joplin. The album is full of suprises.

The hard-rockin' Northern California band's much-anticipated follow-up, Someone In Control, co-produced by Don Gilmore (Linkin Park, Pearl Jam, Good Charlotte) and led by the track "Stand Up," expands on the strong sense of melody, soul-searching lyrics and archetypal hooks that separate Trapt from its Modern Rock peers. Fans are standing up for Trapt.

Customer Reviews:

Just an EXCELLENT Album!.......2007-06-19

I'm ashamed of myself for taking nearly 2 years to pick up Someone in Control. Trapt's sophomore offering does anything but slump. Just a jam-packed disc of great music.

I always like to count how many songs I'm into right after buying a CD, as to let myself know whether I just wasted my money. SiC, which features 11 tracks, features EIGHT that I'm already hooked on, and I haven't even broken the CD in all the way! It's THAT good. If you loved their eponymous album, add this one to your collection.

No Me Gusta!.......2007-06-15

I liked their debut far better than this CD. This CD will be featured soon in a used store near you. Nothing really grabs you like their last CD. It's nothing terrible, I just wouldn't find myself thinking, "Gosh, I'd love to listen to Someone in Control right now." I haven't touched it for months, almost forgot I had it. Oh well, maybe next time. Anyone want a cheap used CD? It's yours for about $2.99 plus shipping. Just kidding, I'm probably not supposed to advertise on a review, ha ha.

Barely half as good as their debut........2007-04-13

I give it 2.5 stars. There just wasn't anything on here to keep me coming back. Maybe once every couple years I'll say, "I feel like listening to Trapt" and I'll give it one spin, but there is so much more out there that is better. I really liked the debut, but talk about sophomore slump here. They better get their acts together.

I keep coming back to this........2007-02-22

I really loved the well-known singles from their first album. I think those singles are superior to the songs on this album. However, with all of the music in my library, I keep coming back to this one. It's been a staple in my car for a year and frequently finds its way back onto my MP3 player. Pretty well all of the songs have grown on me and I just have to highly recommend it, even if it's not quite up to the level of what their first stuff was.

Trapt's 'Coming Of Age' Third Release.......2006-11-15

This is the follow up to the 2002 release. This album is exceptional and the best the North Californian young band has come up with so-far. With only one listen of 'Someone In Control' I was hooked. Maybe initially it was the CD artwork that pictured a working class man who seemed to have it all, on his bed with his head in his hands. For me this picture could have depicted me. How many times have we felt not in control of our lives, of our family, of our work? This album was made for the working man and woman and I will explain why.

It is quite unique to find an album with the first 3 songs pretty much the best in the album. 'Disconnected' deals with how each of us can feel apart, out of touch with our loved one's, our friends and colleagues. The lyrics are sung gracefully and full of meaning with the abtuse deep rock riffs in the background. 'Waiting' and 'Victim' are songs for the working man/woman. The lyrics depict a person who falls victim to a unfeeling/uncaring working society.

Another great song is 'Lost Realist' that is a song based on our morals and how they stand up to today's reality. Are we going to stand by our morals or succumb to the flavour of the month? This song asks the listener to think and reflect on what we term 'reality'.

This is a thoroughly enjoyable album with a great message of hope and reflection within its lyrics and Trapt have earned my respect in their approach. Through the on the road experience they are trying to impart what they have shared and learned to their fans. There are no mindless lyrics here. This album is great. Nothing is skin deep.

This CD is for any rock fan and especially for die hard Trapt fans.

Chromeo is Pee Thug and Dave 1, best friends since their Montreal adolescence, virtuoso musicians, and hip-hop encyclopedias. Pee brings analog synth bass lines and drum machine wizardry a la Cameo and Prince, while Dave contributes melodic tales of urban romance. Their blend of catchy song structures, memorable hooks, and twirling guitar solos conjure up images of either a sophisticated, thugged-out Hall & Oates, or the subconscious meeting of Daft Punk and N.E.R.D.

Chromeo Rocks.......2007-05-29

Ok... I first saw these guys live... and I couldn't believe that these guys were real! they're rockin! the music is so catchy and fun, not to mention the great lyrics.. you gotta love it.

(^_^).......2006-01-22

I remember when I first heard this album...I was riding in the backseat of a car with all the windows rolled down along with some of my friends and we were trying to find free Wendy's Frosties in Columbus, Ohio. Listening to it on NYC's subway is also fun. It's an album for any situation really. My boyfriend played it so much at his architecture studio that people asked him to turn it off, but it's really that "good" (and I think most of the people who were mad at him went out and bought it secretly). Buy this album if you like fun(ny) music!

It has to be done........2006-01-21

When I first heard this album I thought; if these dudes are take them selves seriously then this music is rubbish. Then I thought; does that even matter.....? Basically, I reckon this album is the kind of music you have to appreciate for what it is and nothing more than that.

It's retro, funky, definately electro, and definately pop... kind of funny... there are alot of well-grounded melodies and 80s sounds and arrangements. It's the kind of nostalgic pop the world has been waiting for. If the 80s have, or are, coming back around again Chromeo are at the top of the pile of interesting electro pop artists. It's kind of kitch, light hearted and enjoyable. it's a good album so buy it and see if you enjoy it.

Pretty sure its a joke........2006-01-13

I am pretty sure they are a joking.

A humorous electro-hop album that's unfortunately uneven and not all that great - "Needy Girl" is a great tune, though.......2006-01-05

Chromeo's "She's In Control" is a decent enough debut. They definitely prove that they have some potential with the first track "Me & My Man" and the hit song "Needy Girl" which is one of my recent favorites. They have much promise, but "She's In Control" is not that album which will make them stars (*worthy* stars, I should say). After the third track, "You're So Gangsta", the album gets noticably worse. The singer(s) are great here - they have the right charm and personality for the lyrics and style of music. Lyrically the album is pretty interesting although it's mostly just funny (especially on "Needy Girl" and "Me & My Man". Sometimes they're pretty childish - see "Rage!"). Musically it sounds pretty unique - they somehow manage to create a distinct electronic sound that fuses in elements of hip-hop and jazz/blues (for this part see "You're So Gangsta"). It's not for everyone, but many will probably appreciate its humor. Overall it's not a bad album, but you could probably live without it.

Highlights include:
"Me & My Man"
"Needy Girl"
"You're So Gangsta"
"Woman Friend" (to an extent)
"Destination Overdrive"
"Way Too Much" (sort of)
"Ah Oui Comme Ca"

"Two classics in one package".......2005-09-02

These are Marley Marl's classic compilations "IN CONTROL", vol.1 & 2 from '88 and '91. Some of the best of the "COLD CHILLIN'" recordings are here. Two classics for the price of one! DOPE!!

LIVE AND DIRECT FROM THE HOUSE OF HITS!!!!!.......2002-05-28

Any TRUE hip-hop fan of yesteryear knows that THE HOUSE OF HITS was the name for Marley Marl's studio. The new installment from "THE BEST OF COLD CHILLIN'" series is a long time coming. Some may disagree with the rating of 5 stars, but I'm giving it the 5 star rating mostly on the strength of the first installment "IN CONTROL VOLUME 1". Even though many magazines often overlook this album, when it was released in 1988, it was considered a classic. With classic songs like "THE SYMPHONY"(the FIRST posse song and arguably the best in hip hop history), "DROPPIN' SCIENCE", and "FREEDOM", how can you go wrong? This album also contains the underground late 88-89 mix show classics "WE WRITE THE SONGS" (featuring Biz Markie and Heavy D. in what has to truly be considered one of the Hevster's BEST lyrical outings EVER as they trade verses back and forth), "DUCK ALERT", and "LIVE MOTIVATOR". The second disc is "IN CONTROL VOLUME 2:FOR YOUR STEERING PLEASURE" which Marley recently admitted that he did just to fulfill his contract obligation with Cold Chillin'. The album isn't a TOTAL dud. There are some bright moments like "THE SYMPHONY PT. 2" (which can't hold a CANDLE to the original...but is decent nonetheless), "I BE GETTIN'BUSY" (LL COOL J), and "AMERICA EATS THE YOUNG" (featuring CHUCK D. and TRAGEDY when he was the INTELLIGENT HOODLUM and before he just totally thugged out and became TRAGEDY KHADAFI). Pick this double cd up if you want to hear some classic material AND a producer that greatly influenced many hip-hop producers from PETE ROCK(who Marley tutored)to DJ PREMIER. Along with 45 KING no one producer held it down as well as MARLEY MARL....the true QUINCY JONES/GODFATHER of hip hop producers....

Album Description

Errol Morris' adroitly assembled documentary film "The Fog of War" examines the career of Robert S. McNamara-- United States Secretary of Defense during the Kennedy and Johnson Administrations and whose tenure includes the Vietnam War and the Cuban Missile Crises. Combining excerpts from 26 hours of interviews with McNamara, archival footage, filmed recreations, as well as newly declassified White House recordings Morris' filmmaking illuminates a national past that ominously parallels the contemporary political present. Morris reveals what previous biographies failed to investigate—the relationship between McNamara and the infamous United States General Curtis LeMay and their involvement in the firebombing of Tokyo—along with 67 other Japanese cities—in 1945. Errol Morris states "The easy thing to say would be McNamara is a bad guy, he did all these bad things...the story is more complex and far more interesting than I imagined. The disturbing thing is that this was a man with real ethical dimension who did something terrible."

As with music previously contributed to Morris' films, Philip Glass' score to "The Fog of War" effortlessly supports and enhances the film. The music, at times lyrical and at other times intense, deepens the horrifying images of war, highlighting the ambiguities of McNamara's character—and the consequences of his actions. Glass' music reinforces Morris' effort to understand the difficult ethical questions about governing and power raised by "The Fog of War".

Album Description

The acclaimed composer's score to the 2003 documentary by Errol Morris, their third collaboration. The film is subtitled ''11 Songs From The Life of Robert S. McNamara. Orange Mountain Music.

Customer Reviews:

Excellent.......2006-08-09

Intriguing historical account of MacNamara- what he was thinking, what he did not say during two administrations involved in the Viet Name war. Use of film footage and Philip Glass' eerie and ominous soundtrack further developed the power of this film.

The film was great, but the score made it outstanding. .......2004-08-05

Ever thought about what it would be like to watch a film with no muscial score? I have and I did for this documentary. Believe me when I write this, there's no way this film would have been as good without Glass' melodic brutality looming in the background.

Glass does something wonderful with this score; he gives war, uncertainty, doubt and fear a musical element, an audible personality that captures each bomb, burnt building and ominous threat in complete perfection, leaving your ears and your mind in a state of disbelief and amazement, thinking to yourself, "Wow, that music fits this segment like a glove."

The Thin Blue Line score made me an instant Glass fan but this score made me borderline Glass fanatic.

In my opinion, he surpasses Carter Burwell in the category of most unflinching film composer.......by a long shot.

A Great Soundtrack for a Great Film.......2004-05-24

Errol Morris is the best documentary film maker ever and The Fog of War is his crowning achievement. The film explores the complexity of war and how it evolves. There is no political bias or agenda here...just plain truth and facts. Great work. Equal to the task is Phillip Glass's soundtrack. The music is haunting and eerie.

ANOTHER GREAT GLASS SCORE!.......2004-03-31

I'll keep this review short, just like the length of the pieces on the CD. This is yet another great score by Glass, and superbly recorded as well. Glass uses his classic strings and percussion to great effect and oftentimes great surprise as well.

This score has more variety than Glass's score for another Morris film, "The Thin Blue Line". By the way, will "The Thin Blue Line" ever get released on DVD?

The pieces are all short ones, which makes it an easier listen for Glass newbies I would imagine, but I would have preferred a few longer pieces- all the short pieces make it sound like "Glass fragments"- on some pieces once Glass gets going he has to come to a stop.

Still, I wholeheartedly recommend this wonderful CD!

Glass' dramatic score is Fog's 'secret sauce'.......2004-03-22

If you've seen Errol Morris' "The Fog of War," you know that a big part of what makes the movie click is Phillip Glass' outstanding soundtrack. Morris and Glass have worked together before and it shows. Morris' imagery (the falling dominos, the accelerating list of Japanese cities, JFK's slow-blinking visage before TV cameras) appears to be literally lifted off the screen into 3-D by the strength of Glass' score. I don't think you'll find another movie (certainly no other documentary) where the words, images and music mesh with such dramatic effect.

With R&B charts dominated by the flat voices of disaffected post-New Jack soul boyz, Hammond's hyper-romantic, old-school throw-down--juiced by reggae's exotic allure--makes him one of the few stalwarts who can stir the soul of any deep-down old-fashioned gal. Jamaica's top-ranking soul brother also happens to be one of the island's greatest singer/songwriters, and this album, his sole recording for a stateside major label (Elektra), is a standout, even for this consistent and prolific vet. The scales may be tipped here towards R&B-infused love tunes, but lead track "Reggae Calling" makes an equally heart-swelling plea to the world to stop the violence, and truth-and-rights track "Motherland" receives its rightful share of Hammond's considerable store of passion. Of course, he would rather make love than war, and those urgent, whiskey-grained vocals throb most exquisitely when Hammond sings to the ladies in "We've Found It," a tale of young love in bloom, and in "No Disturb Sign," one of the best booty-knocking soundtracks ever recorded this side of Barry White. "I Won't Surrender" takes a stand against a faithless love, but Hammond is most familiar and convincing as the love junkie of "Can't Get Enough," a mix of moaning cries and startling poetic juxtapositions--the Bible, Oil of Olay, breakfast cereal. "I Could Beat Myself" revisits another favorite Hammond persona, the errant lover full of regrets, but nothing approaches his voice slipping midnote, like satin over silk, from a low, sultry croon to an angel's sweet swoon in "It's Not Too Late," his superheated duet with the reggae man's favorite partner, Marcia Griffiths. --Elena Oumano

The Best!.......2006-03-13

I just purchased this CD and Love it! Beres Hammond's soultry voice puts me in a place where I can just relax and listen to the lyrics of his songs.

excellent.......2003-09-05

quintessential Beres. Positive socially concious lyrics with melodies that uplift and inspire and of course make you dance. Beautiful cd the songs are all great. You can't go wrong with this cd as is the case with his other great albums.

Excellence typical of Beres.......2003-07-02

Un like many artists this gentleman, for he truly is, Hugh Beresford Hammond better (and also simply) known as Beres is as beautiful a writer as he is a balladeer but his obvious God given talent doesn't stop there he also writes, what we in the Caribbean call "conscious", lyrics as his first song on this album Reggae calling points out. His expression is beautiful and metaphorical in all his and truly moving and poignant, He makes you want not only to groove slowly but also inspires positive life affirming feelings. My favorite sounds on this album are Reggae Calling which is especially imperative in these times, We've Found It, No Disturb Sign both beautiful love songs Giving Thanks, I Could Beat Myself, and Smile for Me. Once you buy this album you want to buy all his stuff as I did, well maybe not all but at least two more of this man's excellent albums if only to hear one of the best voices the Caribbean has produced since Robert Nesta Marley

one of a kind.......2003-01-09

truely the best this albums from the last 20years. I know people who dont even like reagge that loved this album. Everytrack on here is just niceness.

Excellant album from top to bottum. Many goods songs. To me, I thought the song "No Crime" is great. Also, the song "No Disturb Sign" is tremendous; beautiful song that evokes lots of thoughts. If you are buying some Beres, you MUST have this one.

Film Music of Ralph Vaughan Williams, Vol. 2.......2007-01-06

This CD features the score Vaughan Williams wrote for the 1941 British film 49th Parallel. The music is a series of musical portraits of various parts of the film. The film itself was an effort to bring to the United States the story of how Canada was helping the British war effort. The hope was that the United States would soon become an ally of Great Britain in its war against the Nazi's. While the music for the film has been preserved, there is no current DVD copy of the film for region 1. Turner Classic Movies shows the film from time to time.

Ralph Vaughan Williams and his Film Music.......2006-10-31

Ralph Vaughan Williams' film scores are outstanding. What images he created when you listen to CD. I found this CD in a used bin. I was really surprised. I no longer have to wait to hear them on public radio!

This record is yet another in a long line of soundtracks to be "musically supervised" by the stellar staff of California radio station KCRW. A DJ at the station, Tricia Halloran is the baby of the bunch, an indie-rock kid with a late-night show featuring bands such as those on this soundtrack. For the most part, her song choices here fall into three categories: bands that sound like the Beatles; bands that sound like (or are) Guided by Voices sounding like the Beatles; and Rebar, who contribute a terrible cover of "Legalize It," the title track of reggae giant Peter Tosh's first post-Wailers solo album. That the Dean Quixote soundtrack was released on spinArt must have equally to do with mysterious movie-industry politics and the fact that the Elephant 6 Recording Company seems to be missing in action, as many of the album's contributors have been formally associated with that lo-fi collective or sound as if they should be. Envision a radio show celebrating the works and influences of members of E6, then add an awful band that's owed a favor by the DJ, and this soundtrack will play in your mind. --Sarah A. Sternau

This is possibly the best soundtrack ever..........2004-06-23

So, you probably have not seen the movie and have no clue what it is about. Yeah, me either, but I do know that this CD never leaves my stereo. It is a perfect mix and an essential for any indie fan. Just listen to it and you will completely understand! You definately don't want to pass this one up.
