Sometimes having good, original ideas is the worst thing you can do in rock music. To paraphrase Jim Dickinson on the Beastie Boys, rock and roll is theft, and it's not so much about whether or not one steals but why, how much and how well (i.e. from whom). Riff-heavy in all the right ways, this is a very well-produced retro-rock record with handclaps, catchy choruses, and plenty of attitude. They freely cop from AC/DC, the Stones, the Verve, Oasis, Humble Pie, Aerosmith, Black Crowes, and Mooney Suzuki, and they do it very well. The only problems with the album lie in the words, and in the softer material. Most of the lyrics are so banal ("Now you don't need money with a face like that, do ya") they were seemingly written by some newfangled songwriting program set to "1973." And half the album consists of ballads that are just pretty good: the Oasis-y "Look What You've Done," the Pink Floyd -esque "Timothy" and the Small Faces-ish "Move On.". But it's the mid-to-uptempo stompers that this group excels at. --Mike McGonigal

Jet - Great Retro Rock.......2007-06-07

I remember the first time I heard the first single from this album "Are You Gonna Be My Girl", on the radio. It was about as basic as rock could get, but there was something about it that made me sit up and take notice. A few weeks later I saw the band perform on Saturday Night Live and again I was impressed. Yes, they were mining the same 70's style rock territory that many before them had done, but there was just something about these guys that appealed to me. I picked up the album and pretty much liked every song on it. Jet doesn't really do anything original. A direct line to their music can be traced from older bands like The Rolling Stones, The Beatles, The Faces, Golden Earring, Oasis and maybe even a little Pink Floyd in spots. Instrumentally they are pretty basic too, with decent enough guitar and rhythm section. But.....there is something about these guys that gives their material instant listenability. Along with "Be My Girl" the album produced a couple of other huge radio hits the ballad "Look What You've Done" and the rocker "Cold Hard Bitch". Both are great little tracks that were perfect radio music. The rest of the album is all strong as well. I really like every track. It will interesting to see how long these guys stick around on the charts. I can see them possibly coming and going fairly quickly, but for this album at least, they have put out a winner. This is one of my favorite discs to crank up in my car. Great retro stuff.

Get Born..........2007-06-02

Good Rock/Rock&Roll group! The song, of course - "Are you gonna be my girl" 4 stars!

JET BLUES.......2007-05-23

A drummer for people who only need a beat, some guitar to make it easy to move your feet, add a little baritone, and a right out-a-site organ, (no horns though), and Steven Tyler Aerosmith vocal inspiration, and you got pure and slick, perfect and corporate, riffed and hooked rock and roll from Aussie band, Jet. Hey, this stuff is nearly perfect. Who said rock is dead when infectious drum beat meets thumping bass, and guitar adds some electric twang, and you expect to hear Golden Earring's RADAR LOVE, or any of a number of great lead-in songs. This band has the lead-in down cold, (you know, it all started with The Supremes' YOU CAN'T HURRY LOVE), and the substance that follows isn't half bad. ROLLOVER DJ has a great head-bobbing vocal and riff, ("Hey Rollover DJ, got nothing to say?, mind if I play?") - not really the verse sang here, but it fits as good as any, and it rhymes. And sure, be above it, - boldly lean on The Beatles' SEXY SADIE, on track 4, LOOK WHAT YOU'VE DONE, right down to the resounding half-note piano key, half the kids listening never heard the original, and it sounds great. No, really. And I like The Strokes influence. And when was the last time you heard the blues as basis for great rock and roll on modern rock radio? Zepplin? And I LIKE the ballads. You can't have all riffs and hooks all the time. It would get monotonous. RADIO SONG, ("This won't be played on your radio, tonight"), a dreamy ballad makes absolutely no sense, and I find myself singing along to it on the second listen. That's craft. Closing track, TIMOTHY, at first seems a haunting reference to LSD explorer Timothy Leary, ("Timothy, we found your spaceship, ...it's the farthest you've ever flown"), but on repeated listens, seems much more profound, like a questioning of the very existence we live in, ("It's not what it seems, but it is"), - toke doobie, stare at the moon, and think about it. Nice melody too. And a fine rock album. All in all, I like it, I can bop my head to it, I wish I were 17 years old again, and I give it 4 stars.

We're supposed to be moving forward, not backwards.......2007-04-28

Why would anyone want to listen to a bland, watered down version of the 60s and 70s rock bands? If you want to listen to old music, do yourself a favour and pick up a record by The Beatles, Rolling Stones, ACDC, Deep Purple, Pink Floyd etc. If a band wants to succeed by copying older bands, they better make sure that their music is at least up to par with, if not better than the original. If not, there's no incentive for people to go out and buy their music. This is the case with Jet. Only two of the singles are worth listening to. Look What You've Done is a blatant, bland rip off of Sexy Sadie by The Beatles. The rest of the CD is mediocre at best.

This sort of music, like the attitudes of many music listeners, is just reactionary. Lately there has been a trend towards listening to older rock bands from the 60s and 70s. Of course, this is a reaction to the sad state of modern popular music. Nowadays, the music industry is permeated by dull, lifeless, talentless, manufactured stand-for-nothing bands like Nickelback, Grinspoon and 3 Doors Down, not to mention the worst genre of music ever - emo. Jet, by the way, is no different from the afforementioned bands in this respect. However, this is not an excuse to fall back to the 60s and 70s. Music needs to move forward, not backwards. I understand that the direction we are currently going down is bad, but that doesn't mean we can't change direction whilst still maintaining creativity. The 60s and 70s are long gone, we need something fresh and new. How much longer will retro bands like Jet be able to exploit that sound before people get sick of it again? I can assure you that their 15 minutes of fame will soon be up. Musicians need to keep innovating, and coming up with new ideas that don't suck. Going back to the 60s and 70s is not going to solve the problem. Alternative rock can be good if it's done well, and metal is still alive with great innovations being made in that genre at the moment, although not as popular as it used to be.

Unfortunately, record company executives have realised that it's a lot easier to market to preteens than adults and they're never going back. That way they can still make profit while maintaining an endless supply of talentless hacks to have their 15 minutes of fame. That's why, if you want some quality, original music that's new and fresh at the same time, you won't find it in the mainstream. You're better off looking in the underground metal or indie scenes. There you'll find innovation and musical integrity. At the moment I'm listening to a great metal band called Hipocrisy. They have an excellent blend of heavy and melodic metal and, unlike most modern mainstream rock bands, they never release the same album more than once. So yeah, I highly recommend looking at the underground scenes, because I highly doubt that mainstream music is going to improve anytime soon.

Stunning.......2007-04-17

When I first heard Jet, I couldn't believe they were a new band. Maybe I'm a little biased, but I thought there was no way a new band could sound so new and exciting. But they do!

There are many great tracks here. "Are You Gonna Be My Girl" and "Look What You've Done" are incredible rockers. The rest are great as well. It's true that Jet didn't stray too far from their influences, but that's okay in my book. I love the classics (The Who The Beatles, The Stones, etc), and I don't mind hearing new music in the same style. After all, I'd choose a Jet concert over a modern day Who concert any day.

I say give Jet time to evolve. After all, it took The Beatles a good number of years to get past "She loves you yeah yeah yeah" and when they did get past it, they did Sgt. Pepper. I think Jet definately has potential, and I wouldn't be so quick to write them off.

Forgive the cheesy title, but a star is re-born once again........2007-07-09

In 1954, Judy Garland gave the most acclaimed performance of her career as a musical movie star in George Cukor's musical remake of the 1937 straight-up drama A Star Is Born. After its premiere, the film was heavily edited and would not be seen in its near complete form again for nearly thirty years. Judy was nominated for an Academy Award for her performance, but lost to Grace Kelly, to the chagrin of many Garland fans to this day, as well as many celebrities of the day. (Groucho Mark famously called it the biggest robbery since Brinks.)

In all that mess, the soundtrack was released by Columbia on vinyl record in mono and has since never been out of print and was a best-seller for years. In 1988, Columbia took the musical numbers and the overture directly from the film's stereo soundtrack (As, sadly, stereo soundtrack masters no longer existed.) and released those onto CD. The sound quality was somewhat horrendous, but digital audio was still in its infancy and not much else could be done.

In 2004, for the film's 50th anniversary, Columbia, Legacy, and Sony Music Soundtrax released this incredible new expanded remastered CD reissue of the film's soundtrack. This is the most complete soundtrack you can find and it's definitely worth upgrading from your 1988 CD release.

This CD contains not only all of the songs, including an extended intro to The Man That Got Away which was shortened in the film as well as the complete intro to Gotta Have Me Go With You, but also contains a near complete release of the instrumental score, which includes whole tracks and parts of tracks that were not used in the film, as well as an alternate vocal take of It's A New World, the deleted When My Sugar Walks Down The Street segment from Born In A Trunk, and a static-y complete version of The Trinidad Coconut Oil Shampoo Commercial, which was taken from a worn acetate playback disc - the only complete recording in existence.

The soundtrack is taken from a mixing and matching of several elements, such as acetate playback discs, the original Columbia mono soundtrack album masters, and the film's 4-track stereo soundtrack, among others. This means that the soundtrack goes back and forth from being stereo and mono. However, this does not detract from my listening experience any, and frankly, I can't tell much of a difference. One interesting note is that Gotta Have Me Go With You uses both the film's soundtrack and the mono soundtrack album masters to create a faithful listening experience, from the mono instrumental intro to the song itself, which except for a short portion, is taken from the film's 4-channel soundtrack. (The mono portion of the vocal part was used to edit out some plot-related screams that were present in the 1988 release. This method of retaining the aural integrity of Gotta Have Me Go With You was also used when it was included on the Rhino Records compilation Judy Garland In Hollywood: Her Greatest Movie Hits.)

Despite the fact that this soundtrack is taken from several different surviving elements and sadly not from a single set of elements, as Warner Bros. didn't have the foresight to save everything like MGM and Disney did, this is an excellent presentation of this landmark soundtrack. The sound quality for the most part is excellent, and the liner notes are also wonderful. Garland historian John Fricke writes a small essay on the production of the film and an annotated guide to the soundtrack, which gives a synopsis of the plot and also indicates where the tracks from the CD appear in the film. Producer Didier C. Deutsch also writes a small essay on the creation of this CD release, giving notes on the elements and some specific tracks.

Amazon is offering this soundtrack at an excellent price, and I have to say, it's a bargain for a soundtrack of this caliber and sound quality. Any Garland fan or movie soundtrack fan should have this in their collection.

A Star Is Born Soundtrack Review.......2007-01-10

A really excellent soundtrack to go with an excellent movie. This is some of Judy Garland's best material in both music and acting. The power of her voice on "The Man That Got Away" is amazing. "Born In A Trunk", "It's A New World", "Someone At Last" and "Lose That Long Face" are other recommended tracks. This is a MUST HAVE for all you Judy Garland fans.

Judy at her peak!.......2006-05-30

Judy Garland's finest film work was "A Star Is Born." Because she and her husband, Sid Luft, were also the producers, it was the most intensely involving production she had ever undertaken. The laser focus of her brilliant talent was never before realized on film to this degree. Also, she had gained tremendous personal confidence due to the unprecedented audience response to the concerts she had done between her MGM films and ASIB. The love with which the live audience embraced her, brought new heights to her acting as well.
The production values of the film were top of the line and it shows on this fine CD. It's a chance to experience Judy's talent on a more intimate basis without the visuals.
A must-have for every serious Garland collector.

a "Star" shines like never before..........2005-04-27

This reissued remaster of A STAR IS BORN is a must-own for fans of the movie, and in particular those who were somewhat dissatified by the previous CD edition (CK 44389). That edition was great for offering us most of the main numbers in stereo/mono mix but was marred by poor analogue distortion and other remastering problems (though this was the best that could have been done at the time). This new edition (CK 65965) presents the entire score, including background and incidental sections as well as the cut material, in a sparkling new package.

The big bonus for getting this latest edition is for Garland's complete rendition of "The Trinidad Coconut Oil Shampoo Commercial" (without the dialogue of James Mason). This has been taken from a rare acetate master, so while the sound quality is not the best, having the number complete without interrupting dialogue is a more than ample compensation. You will notice too that "Lose That Long Face" has been newly mastered from a better stereo source (cutting out the thunder-crashes that were heard on the first CD master, and Garland's singing no longer has those violent analogue fluctuations during the introduction). "Gotta Have Me Go with You" is now presented without the screams and noises, in a new master from the mono soundtrack.

"When My Baby Walks Down the Street", a section cut from the "Born in a Trunk" sequence, has been added as a bonus track. This sparkling-new STAR IS BORN reissue is a great tribute to what is most definitely Judy Garland's greatest hour on film.

Musical perfection of the highest magnitude!!!.......2005-02-25

Was there ever a more perfect voice than the one possessed by Judy Garland? Powerful yet gentle. Dynamic yet restrained. Bone-chilling yet soothing. She had the pipes!

And her instrument was showcased at its best in the music from her triumphant "A Star is Born".

This expanded version is a bona-fide treasure with the highlight being Garland's earth-shattering "The Man That Got Away," presented with vocals and several instrumental versions. Along with "Somewhere Over the Rainbow," "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas," and "The Trolley Song", "The Man That Got Away" is an essential for Garland fans, as well as those that know a good song when they hear it.

The fifteen-minute medley that was featured in the film as the "introduction" of "Vicki" to the public is another outstanding track, featuring "Born in a Trunk", "Suwanee," and "My Melancholy Baby," all exquisitely performed by the legendary talent.

Clocking in at just under eighty minutes, the soundtrack to the classic film is, indeed, in a class by itself, and deserving of repeated listening, maintaining its "freshness" after more than five decades.

The line between evangelist and entertainer has always been somewhat indistinct. But as showcased on this 43-track, double-disc collection culled from his '87-'96 recordings for Elektra/Nonesuch/Atlantic, Michael Feinstein's dedication to spreading the gospel of the American song often blurs it beyond recognition. While the singer's pedigree for the task is impeccable (a long-term stint as Ira Gershwin's assistant and early career sponsorship by Liza Minnelli), his interpretations often succeed by playing off a tense axis of fervent emotionalism and a joyous sense of irreverence.

If his readings of romantic standards can sometimes tend toward the precious, they're often balanced here by sheer dramatic power and telling insights ("Isn't It Romantic" fairly bristles with ironic chauvinism) and a few loopy curves ("The Mole People," the Sherman Brothers' "The Ugly Bug Ball," and the previously unreleased "Rhode Island Is Famous for You"). Feinstein's dedicated song archaeology is also showcased on several gems: "Violin," a duet with Liza Minnelli; "My Favorite Year," a rejected ballad for the film of that name; the sublime "lost" Gershwin classic "Ask Me Again."

Sprinkled with live performances (the forum where Feinstein's talents seem most energized) and studio outtakes and featuring a lengthy print interview with the singer, the set chronicles both the pioneering efforts of one of pop music's most successful revivalists and, crucially, the cream of his beloved American songwriters, from stalwarts Gershwin, Berlin, and Porter to later legends like Herman, Styne, Lane, Martin, and Mercer. --Jerry McCulley

This album has some GREAT songs on it; sophisticated swing being one of my favorites. However many of the other songs are too operatic and lame. I give three stars but this album is definatly worth it just for some of the better songs.

Your love for this superb collection will be here to stay..........2002-07-18

The magnificently talented Michael Feinstein has made one wonderful album after another for nearly two decades. Now that Elektra and Rhino have put together this anthology, I am blown away by the versatility and diversity in Feinstein's recorded output. Such amazing rare gems, combined with the most beloved favorites in the history of American Popular Song. Assembled with wit, intelligence, and obvious affection on the part of the record company, this set is a keeper. You'll love it!

Is there anything this man can't sing? This collection is so varied as to be the definitive collection of songs for any occassion.

This is perfect background music for a dinner party for a whole group but especially for two. Light, romantic and just gorgeous. You just can't go wrong when Michael Feinstein is your musical choice.

Way to go Michael, you've done it again!

Absolutely 'S WONDERFUL!.......2002-06-10

There are very few contemporary performers who can hold their own with the truly great interpreters of American popular song. Michael Feinstein is truly the ONLY performer of the "younger" generation who really understands what these songs are all about. His incredible knowledge of this music, and his enthusiasm and passion for it have fueled his career. Rhino Records has done a truly outstanding job of putting together an anthology that exemplifies why Mr. Feinstein has become so beloved by audiences around the world. The packaging is excellent, and filled with interesting photos and background information about many of the selections.

This collection not only contains all the favorites one would expect, but a neat group of surprises too. I especially love the duets with people like Liza Minnelli and Rosemary Clooney, and the various collaborative efforts with songwriters like Jule Styne and Burton Lane accompanying Michael at the piano.

This collection is a classic to be treasured. Bravo Michael!
Bravo Rhino!

Failed Ideas.......2004-12-09

Maureen McGovern is a national treasure. Her Naughty Baby CD to me is the 2nd coming of Christ. By comparison Out of this World is quite disappointing. Mostly either Harold Arlen or MM's uninspiring interpretations and/or Renzi's arrangements don't seem to suit MM on this CD. The drums and percusion are sometimes schlocky. The screechy sax is always terrible. Also not working for me are the electric keyboard/synthesizer, the electric guitar and the cello. Even Renzi's piano playing is sometimes a let down. Jay Leonhart's great bass work seems to be the only thing that you can depend on here. Did MM do this to herself or is Renzi mainly responsible? Spend your money instead on: Naughty Baby, The Music Never Ends, The Pleasure of his Company and Christmas With MM. All wonderful music.

Simply Exquisite.......2003-12-01

I'd forgotten what a beautiful, supple vocal instrument McGovern has. Here, she sings blues- and jazz-flavored tunes, torchy ballads, and more--all Harold Arlen--including "It's Only a Paper Moon," "Over the Rainbow," "Let's Take a Walk Around the Block," "The Man That Got Away" and "Come Rain or Come Shine." Her "Optimistic Voices" (from The Wizard of Oz) is worth the price of the entire CD. It is simply exquisite, like a fine jewel, polished and gleaming with feeling.

Great song!.......2005-04-23

I do not own this single, but I think I must get it. If you are an Alice in Chains fan and you do not have either 'Nothing Safe: The Best of the Box' or the 'Music Bank' boxset, you should definetly pick up this single or otherwise get the title track.

It's really one of AIC's coolest songs. It's not Dirt, not Tripod, not Facelift... but it has similarities with all of them. I wish AIC had stuck around and recorded more because an album following this style could have been brilliant.

AIC has many great songs, and this is just one of them, but it's a wothwhile one. The song is very eerie, the lyrics are powerful, the singing is fantasticly excellent, and the song seemlessly transitions from atmospheric electric groove to hard hitting powerhouse grunge and back. If I ever get a grunge band together, this will be one of the songs we play.

I reckon the rest of the single is good too. Angry Chair sounds good live and Man In The Box probably does too.

With the power of just one song, "get born again" more than makes up for the sub parr "tripod." It's almost as if a spark were set within the forces of this band. It's has this creepy vibe to it, yet different from anything the band has realsed in there whole 9 year past at that time. So unfortunate that it was basicly going to be the last of alice in chains were to realse. Layne's voice was back, inez's bass was more vibrant than ever and cantrell just tears with the solo. Indeed, once again alice in chain's were born again with there music one last time. Not with a band, but with a wimper.

Awesome Alice in Chains song.......2000-08-01

I listen to this song a lot. Every time I go out and I want to hear AIC I bring this one. It is on of my favorite songs by this band especially since it's new. This band has kept their hard rock-grunge sound through the years of recording.

Newer != better.......1999-11-18

After a long wait, this new single didn't really deliver like I'd hoped, but the AIC sound is still there, that strange vocal tone that only Cantrell can seem to produce. Not so sure about the music behind this one though. Definitely look to the older stuff instead.

A "must" for AIC fans........1999-10-10

A super album of AIC best and a great new song "GET BORN AGAIN". Is there any hope of an AIC tour?

A smooth voice in a smooth repertoire........2004-04-04

Cesare Siepi's bass voice is greatly underrepresented in the CD catalogue. This album lets us know what an artist he was. His interpretations are always just right, and never over the top. Only an occasional accent slips in. His English diction should be a model for all singers. I lost no more than 5% of the words. The wonderful way he caresses his way into "Night and Day" or sails through "Begin the Beguine" are wonderful examples of his artistry. Siepi includes the often omitted verses to each song, and that is a plus.

The sound quality is more than acceptable. It isn't digital, but here the fidelity comes from the artistry and not the sound itself. In fact the sound quality is a lot better than the 1955 recording date might indicate. I was not bothered in the least ... in fact I was pleasantly surprised.

There are unfortunately lots of typos in the notes that should have been corrected. Myto should review such things before putting them out on the market.

Siepi's way with the Italian songs is equally enjoyable. How nice to have someone sing them instead of bawling them to the rafters. This is a winner album, and it would be 5 stars if the sound were a little more modern.

Delightful collection of songs performed by great artist.......1999-05-24

Despite the inferior sound quality of this CD, it is pleasing to have this unusual collection available. Cesare Siepi is a great artist, with the best English diction of any classical Italian singer within memory. Although I remember him best as the most dashing and truly seductive Don Giovanni at the Met, he is equally convincing with a popular song. A rare achievement! Siepi, I love you as much today as I did when I was an infatuated teenager.

Customer Reviews:

Genial, pero..........2005-04-19

Me parece que el arte vocal de Kiri posee muchas fortalezas y sòlidos atributos: brillantez, claridad, riqueza de colores, excelente fraseo, perfecta colocación y afinación, expresividad. Sin embargo, también carece de una mejor respiración para poder contrarrestar el excesivo vibrato que aplica a su canto. Sobre algunas de las obras interpretadas, recomiendo: Der Rosenkavalier: Schwarzkopf; Wagner: Kirsten Flagstad.

GREAT TE KANAWA !.......2004-02-19

THIS IS A GODD OVERVIEW OF KIRI TE KANAWA`S TALENT,THIS COMPILATION INCLUDES GREAT OPERA ARIAS,AMERICAN SONGBOOK CLASSICS,MAORI SONGS AND MORE,DIGITALLY REMASTERED. REALLY ENJOYABLE.
