One "Hell" Of An Album.......2007-04-24

Although not the first time hearing Adams' music, "Love Is Hell" was the first album I had the chance to listen to from start to finish (albeit in Parts 1 and 2). A thread of sadness is woven throughout every song, and the music and stories are captivating. "Shadowlands" is probably the strongest track, a beautiful yet haunting piano song featuring escalating musical accompanyment. "World War 24" and "City Rain, City Streets" are melodious tracks that give blatant nods to Morrissey and The Smiths. "Afraid Not Scared" sounds a little like Radiohead, while "Wonderwall" is a unique, acoustic interpretation of the Oasis classic. "Please Do Not Let Me Go" is my personal favorite, a sad track that harkens back to Adams' alt-country roots. Overall, this is a well-rounded album, and Ryan Adams fans alike should still feel right at home after giving this record a listen.

Near perfection.......2007-02-13

This is simply a solid CD from beginning to end. Favorite songs include "this house is not for sale" and "wonderwall." His rendition of "wonderwall" is hauntingly beautiful, even as his voice cracks. I've had this CD for a couple of years now and it is still heavy in my rotation.

Highly recommended!!

A Must Own.......2006-12-04

Ryan Adams' albums have run the spectrum of music to date. He's shown a breath of vocal, lyrical, and musical talent but the quality has been spotty at times. "Love is Hell" is his best album yet. A solid 5 out of 5 that any music lover can find enjoyment in. At times blues, at times rock, at times country, always hauntingly beautiful. "Anybody take me home", " English Girls", and "Chelesa Nights" are standouts and his cover of Oasis' "Wonderwall" is amazing. I'm usually not a big fan of covers (and Adams seems to be covered more and more lately) but this version is better than the original, at least in my opinion. Ryan Adams fans, rock fans, music fans, buy this album.

Haunting.......2006-08-06

I think what this disc ultimately proves is that Ryan Adams knows how to beautifully craft his roots an influences into a style all his own. Adams brings passion an integrity to his work despite some cuts an bruises. Music lovers, stand up and take notice.

Ryan Adams at his peak.......2006-06-24

If you're a fan of Heartbreaker and Gold, this may not be for you. This album is not like his alt. country predecesors. Instead, Love is Hell is an album with lush electric arrangements and unforgettable melodies. Ryan Adams is the master of making memorable melodies. This album is where he peaked. The opener, Political Scientist is (I hate saying this) like a lost Jeff Buckley song. Much of the album hints at Buckleyesque and Beatlesque type arrangements. At times Adams is quiet, other times he screaming...a very emotional album from start to finish. The only reason I couldn't give it 5 stars is because the album gets too long. There are 16 songs on here with a tune that's also on Rock n Roll...it fits well on this collection, but did you really need to make the album one more song longer? Other than that, I love this album.

Watching DMX--baldheaded and shirtless, tattooed and musclebound--as he simultaneously goes platinum and gets arrested on rape charges (both of which occurred within weeks of this album's release), one can easily see the Yonkers, New York, rapper as a Tupac in training. And he's certainly no stranger to dumb thuggery on his much-anticipated debut. But unlike Tupac, who tempered hard-core beatdowns with party pick-me-ups, DMX is strictly business, part of a street reaction against the Puff Daddy-fueled, late-1990s slew of lightweight pop-rap crossovers. With a name too true for its own good, It's Dark and Hell Is Hot could occasionally use a cool breeze of levity. That said, the record is not without merit; despite the album's largely standard-issue beats and rhymes, both DMX's forceful voice and solid production have moments of greatness. At times DMX even manages to squeeze memorable hooks out of this otherwise claustrophobic release. --Roni Sarig

Awesome.......2007-05-31

"DMX" has had a few cds put out over the years, and they are good. However, "It's Dark and Hell is Hot" would be the best out of them all. The songs, besides the "Skits" are excellent, and well produced. "DMX" knows what he's doing, and shows it well on this cd. If you're a fan, Make sure you have this cd.

It Doesn't Get More Graphic Then This.......2007-05-16

DMX (Earl Simmons) doesn't need to prove he got street credability. He came from very rough conditions and for a while he lived on the streets and his only way to survive was through robbery and he came in contact with the police at early stage. Music was his saviour, but it took quite a while for him to get a record deal, at age 28 Def Jam would finally make it possible with an album (It's Dark and Hell is Hot) that would pretty much be what DMX wanted and covers his rough an violent backround. Released in 1998, DMX a real hardcore MC filled the void after Tupac and Notorious B.I.G and helped the Gangsta Rap to not get fully extinct. At the Time of this release Hip Hop had changed dramatically with the Emergence of Diddy and commercial radio friendly Rap with many guest artists, popular smaples and lyrics dealing with commercialism. But DMX was nothing like that, he teamed up with then unknown record producer Swizz Beatz that produce the majority of songs here and from start to finnish he deals with some of the most serious and roughest issues you've ever heard of, Infact It's so Violent that the Explicit Lyrics tag looks like a bad April's joke. And apart from many other rappers DMX doesn't try to apply to diffrent audiences, he deals with what he knows best and he's very direct to get to the point with graphic story telling, most songs deals with strenght, violence, faith and struggle. He may not be the deep steet poet like Nas, but his music in fascinating cause we know that he's been through it and it's so scary and graphical listening to. DMX flow is more like an agressive dog, he coughs, growls, and barks and constantly used the word "What!" but it makes him unique.

The big hit "Ruff Ryders Anthem" got the Swizz Beatz sound all over it and serves as a good anthem for this album. Other good songs are "Get at Me Dog", "Look Thru My Eyes" "Let Me Fly" and "How it's Going" with Faith Evans, a much slower song then the majority here that deals with sleeping with a woman that is already married, (like he gave a damn anyway)!. On "I Can Feel It" they sample Phil Collins classic song about depression "In The Air Tonight" and is on point. On the 2 minute skit "Prayer" we find DMX revealing his fear for hell and admitting he's been through alot of suffer and pain and made a fair share of mistakes in his life aswell but he's ready to suffer even more if god will show mercy on his brother. This album got 19 songs which is a bit too much perhaps and there's alot of over-serious lyrics for over 60 minutes of plating time, but you got to respect him for not turning commercial and trying to apply to everyone. "It's Dark and Hell Is Hot" is Not quite an 5 star album, but it had an significant meaning for Hip Hop and it's a very strong album no matter how you put it. DMX would continue doing some good albums but has now been quiet for a while but should be back this year with a new album. Beat Maker Swizz Beatz is now one of the finest producers in the world. Overall rating 4'5 stars.

THIS IS HIS BEST ALBUM TO ME.......2007-02-18

dmx, to me, was at his hungriest here. you can hear it in just about every track. GET AT ME DOG is like my untimate fave from him. i remember when it came out in '98. it was soooooo refreshing to hear some no holds barred hardcore hip hop. i love his intensity here as well. once again, it is at its best here.

One of the few original rap phenomenoms of the last 10 years...................2007-01-12

X came out gate hard with his debut in 98. Coming off his scene stealing cameos on Mase's "24 Hrs to Live" and The Lox's " Money Power Respect", DMX exploded into the rap game. A lot of people compare X to Pac, but I don't see it. DMX was definitely an original. Dude came with the aggressive up in yo face flow. He won out because he was the ultimate underdog that brought the end to the shiny suit era!

Top Joints:
Ruff Ryder's Anthem
F*ckin With D
Get At Me Dog
How It's Going Down
Stop Being Greedy
N*ggas Done Started Something!

You will never hear X like this again.......2007-01-11

The only DMX album I will ever own. This is when X was serious and added that hard vibe rap was startin' to lose with the rise of the pop rappers. The best production on all of his albums and he actually had somethin to say and this started the ruff ryders era. Recommended.

I would have liked this more when I was 16.......2007-06-28

Let me start by saying that I am a big fan of experimental music of all kinds. I'm always ready and willing to dive into something which is unlike anything I've heard before. I'm also no stranger to Genesis P. Orridge's work, having heard all of Throbbing Gristle's albums, many Psychic TV albums, and having enjoyed his work with Pigface.



TG is a mixed bag for me. I appreciate the dynamic of the group and the balls it took to make and stand by the music when they did... but now it just seems trite. Only very occasionally did they manage to break through the gimmick of banging on things to make noise and create a piece of "musick" that affected me on anything more than a basic visceral level.



What I've heard of Psychic TV affects me the same way, only instead of making noise, they are writing the most obnoxiously meaningless imitations of pop songs imaginable. Whenever I'm reminded of them, I always wonder why so many people who are into underground type experimental music enjoy PTV so much. The only thing I can figure is that it's the corny pseudo-religious aspects of their philosophies. Whatever the case may be, it usually ends up sounding much like everything I've always hated about popular music, but done badly. The only exception is their album Trip/Reset, which I do still listen to on occasion. I really can't tell you why I enjoy that album and not the rest, but I think it has something to do with the consistency of mood throughout it. It's very mellow, and aptly named.



I bought this album anyway. I got it because of the quick sound samples I heard on Amazon. It sounded different from the things I hate about PTV, but some of it also reminded me of the things I liked about Trip/Reset. I thought it might be a new direction for the group.



Well.. it is a new direction for them. But unfortunately, hearing the songs in full turned out to be a tedious experience. The albums opener sounds like a dumbed down Johnny Rotten/PIL imitation. The second song was entirely forgettable. The third song sounded like a different version of the first. Maximum Swing, my favorite song off the album, starts out a little bit interesting, but quickly degenerates into an unbearably repetitive waste of bytes. The next two songs have a similar vibe as some of the tracks I liked off of Trip/Reset, but holy crap.. they just drone on and on with no point whatsoever. The rest of the album is entirely throwaway. Hookah Chalice and Just Because sound like retreads of tracks 1 and 5, and BB sounds like The Cult with an even more annoying and whiny singer. The last song is simply a joke. Sitar samples with stilted vocal drones. The song is 7 minutes long, but it sounds like it took less than a minute to "write".



Bottom line:



Most of these songs have some sort of potential, but they have no business being as long as they are, and Genesis sounds younger and more immature as he gets older.



On the other hand, this might be the "punkest" album I've heard in years. I guess I just grew out of the "punk" thing a long time ago.



If they would start focusing on actually writing music and stop trying so hard (and failing so hard) to be scary or edgy, they might be onto something. As it stands now, they are simply laughable to me.

This is a great f-cking record!.......2007-06-23

wonders never cease! First I'll say that this is a cyber glam record, only it's very analogue, with a Ziggy Star Dust 2007 sound. I wouldn't have guessed a sound like this, a sound that I associate as an old rock sound, could sound so fresh, so right so now, i am of the avante guard variety when it comes to music, but some how this works! on glam pop rock estetics as well as pagan occultic modes of expression and also on the poetic museing level, there is no industrial sound here but definately a dose of psychedelic. I might also add that this is a great summer time record.

This is a dynamic return!.......2007-06-12

This new incarnation of Psychic TV, or PTV3, sounds great. Gen's new band sounds powerful, and their grooves can make your body move without conceding to rock stereotypes. This album sacrifices none of PTV's experimental side, or their songwriting side. On most of their albums, you have some experimental songs, and some songs that are more in the classic style of songwriting. On this album, it's experimental pop songs or poppy experimental songs all the way through (and I mean pop like early Pink Floyd or The Stones, not in a demeaning way). The way the band rocks and grooves draws one in, while the structures and textures sound fresh, new, and challenging.
I love all of their albums, and every phase of their evolution, but I think this may be their best. If you haven't listened to PTV lately, you're in for a pleasant surprise. If you haven't heard them at all, this is a great place to start.

James Reese Europe was a major figure in New York's African American musical community in the years leading up to World War I, collaborating with Eubie Blake and Noble Sissle and working closely with the popular dance team of Vernon and Irene Castle. With the outbreak of war, Europe formed the Hell Fighters Band, part of the African American 369th U.S. Infantry. The band returned to the U.S. to great acclaim in February 1919, and the 24 tracks heard here were recorded in New York between March 3 and May 7 of that year. Two days later, Europe was stabbed to death by a disgruntled drummer, Herbert Wright, during an intermission in a Boston concert.

Though he was a titanic figure--Europe was the first African American officer to lead men into battle and Eubie Blake called him "the savior of Negro musicians"--his fame soon turned to obscurity. In 1995, Reid Bodger's thorough biography of Europe, A Life in Ragtime, appeared, rekindling widespread interest, and the following year saw the appearance of this music on two different CDs. A large band of brass, reeds, and percussion, with vocals by Noble Sissle, Europe's orchestra plays the popular music of the day with a distinctive spirit and a marked rhythmic fluency uncommon in orchestral ragtime. W.C. Handy is prominent in the repertoire ("St. Louis Blues," "Hesitating Blues," "Memphis Blues"). The songwriting team of Europe, Blake, and Sissle ranges in their subject matter from "Jazz Baby" to the wartime experiences of "No-Man's Land." Europe's associate Tom Bethel contributed "That Moaning Trombone" with its vocal effects, while "Clarinet Marmalade" comes from the Original Dixieland Jazz Band. Despite the references to jazz, though, this is a band poised on the jazz era, not a jazz band, with improvisation mostly limited to brief "breaks." Songs from White and African American composers alike contribute to the complex representation of black life in America, one alive with both stereotypes and new possibilities.

Another edition of these recordings, James Reese Europe appeared a few months earlier on the IAJRC label with the tracks arranged in chronological order of recording rather than the pattern here, which simulates the order of one of Jim Europe's concerts. Both versions provide a worthwhile portrait of a major figure in American music; however, they also represent slightly different philosophies of sound restoration. The IAJRC preserves much of the static to avoid loss of detail; the Memphis Archive is much cleaner and generally far more listenable. The Memphis Archive edition also contains substantial supporting material, a detailed 44-page account of Europe's life and music by Tim Gracyk. --Stuart Broomer

Album Description

James Reese Europe was the world's most accomplished black bandleader before 1920. he was internationally famous as the founder of New York's Clef Club, and as music director for Vernon and Irene Castle.

During World War I, he organized and led the all-black 369th U.S. Infantry "Hell Fighters" Band. They fought in the trenches, introduced that new music "Jazz" to the Continent, and were acclaimed in France and America as the greatest-ever regimental band.

In May, 1919, the "Hell Fighters" were on the last leg of their triumphal U.S. victory concert tour when Europe was murdered at age 39. All 24 recordings he made for Pathe in the last two months of his life are collected on this CD as well as a 44 page booklet with rare photographs and liner notes.

The transitional music mostly hints at jazz.......2000-10-26

Shortly after the IAJRC label came out with a CD reissuing all of the music recorded by James Reese Europe's unusual band during their four 1919 sessions, Memphis Archives put out a CD with the exact same material. The difference between the sets is that while IAJRC put out the material in strict chronological order, Memphis Archives instead chose to simulate a Europe concert. The liner notes of course differ greatly on these two competing sets, and the edge is given to Memphis Archives for Tim Gracyk's very extensive essay. The transitional music mostly hints at jazz but does not contain much improvisation. Europe's brand of dance music occupied its own category, including some Noble Sissle vocals, marching music, rags, waltzes, novelties and future jazz standards, and either of his sets (recorded just a short time before his murder) are recommended. Now if only Europe's eight groundbreaking titles of 1913-1914 would be reissued

A Splendid Souvenir to Remember a Spectacular Performance!.......2003-10-30

Having been fortunate to have seen the English National Opera's production in 1988 of "Orpheus" with Wilson and Pountney's outrageously naughty English text, this highlight CD serves as an audio souvenir. Too bad the ENO didn't have the foresight to film the production-would have made a great DVD. The CD booklet does have a few photos of the sets designed by Gerald Scarfe (who also designed Pink Floyd's "The Wall" album artwork) so you get a taste, combined with the CD selections, of what the production was like.

god moves in a peculiar way.........i am god.............2002-01-17

Offenbach is great anyhow, but this recording is riotous. The translation into English is first-rate, really funny stuff, and the singing is pretty good, too. Very worthwhile.

Orpheus in the Underworld.......2000-03-17

The rewritten lyrics, in English, are some of the wittiest and wicked in operetta. Wilson and Pountney have recaptured the spirit of naughtiness, not a small accomplishment in our licentious times. Though delighted to have the highlights, I wished a CD set or video of the full production were available.

Excerpts.......1999-12-23

This is a collection of excerpts. It is in English and is quite good. The performance of the entire operetta has been discontinued and it is a pity.

Highlights or total Opera?.......1999-11-01

I would like to know if this is highlights from the opera or the total opera.

Great, but no prize.......2002-03-31

The selections from the Ring trilogy, Friends in need and Fallen Angel were excellent, however, some of the special request such as joxer the mighty, seemed a little bit rushed. Wasn't that song on Volume 2 already? Where was M'Lila's song from Destiny, or the music played During the first Kiss in "The Quest"
The cd has its good points, personally "It's Over" from "THAB" with its haunting melodies portraying the consequences of war.

Xena;Warrior Princess volume six.......2002-01-09

I am so happy that the last and final cd has come out, now my collection is complete. I am very sad for the show ending, but I am glad to still collect things.

Great Collection.......2001-12-25

Well, I have them all by now, but this last one is a great collection, with the added bonus of the music from A Friend In Need.
Just another fine addition to my Xena collection!

Exceptional.......2001-11-30

I am a fanatic and devoted Xenite.I have a huge problem:i can't stop listening to that cd,since the first time i listened to it,which means 1 month!That cd is really exceptional and i think that every true and genuine Xenite should buy it!It's really good!I was moved when i heard the Fallen Angel part.I was passioned when i heard the Ring Trilogy!I was astonishing when i heard the bonus cues that were included,especially the cue from The Quill Is Mightier(fishin part),oh,i was completely satisfied!
Though,there is a complain:i can't understand,why after 6 cd's,the producers don't do a cd including cues like:M'laila's song,the cues from the Bacchaen festival,music from Deja Vou All Over Again,where in the end,Gabrielle says to Xena those wonderful words,or even the scene of the kiss in The Quest!That,i can't understand it!
Last, i believe that whoever likes LoDuca's music style,should buy this cd.
Pay attention to the 22 cue:Pas De Deux Femmes.It is one of a something and whoever remembers what's the scene of this song,will agree with me!Mmmm!

A MIX OF THE BEST, THE WORST AND THE MISSING.......2001-11-29

To all truly Xena fans this CD is a must-have but have some lacks... Fun (comedy episodes music) scores destroy the the great combination of FALLEN ANGEL, THE RHEINGOLD TRILOGY AND I FRIEND IN NEED. In the first selections LoDuca creates spectacular high level music good enough to be played in a Symphony orchestra concert. The others selections have easy-to-fill-space western cowboy music instead of put M'Lilas song of DESTINY, Amazon's climbing trees of ADVENTURES IN THE SIN TRADE and NAJARA vs XENA music that would be gladly accepted by us. I doubt the company will launch a next CD but if they'll do this track and another valuable more must be there and the adittion of some famous characters quotes like "I have many skills" from Xena.

Album Description

Import only compilation on Sony features 16 tracks. Highlights include, 'Poison', 'House Of Fire', 'Hell Is Living Without You', 'Go To Hell' (live), & 'School's Out' (live). Originally, there was a band called Alice Cooper led by a singer named Vincent Damon Furnier. Under his direction, Alice Cooper pioneered a grandly theatrical and violent brand of heavy metal that was designed to shock. Drawing equally from horror movies, vaudeville, heavy metal, and garage rock, the group created a stage show that featured electric chairs, guillotines, fake blood, and huge boa constrictors, all coordinated by the heavily made-up Furnier. By that time, Furnier had adopted the name for his androgynous on-stage personality. While the visuals were extremely important to the group's impact, the band's music was nearly as distinctive. Driven by raw, simple riffs and melodies that derived from '60s guitar pop as well as show tunes, it was rock & roll at its most basic and catchy, even when the band ventured into psychedelia and art rock. After the original group broke up and Furnier began a solo career as Alice Cooper, his actual music lost most of its theatrical flourishes, becoming straightforward heavy metal, yet his stage show retained all of the trademark props that made him the king of shock rock.

A Major Document of an Incredible Oeuvre..........2007-03-12

.
Of over 600 songs, Fischer-Dieskau and Gerald Moore realized over three-quarters: these are those. Gerald Moore was of course as important to this project as Fischer-Dieskau.

DGG's sound is excellent.

This set is a remarkable document of art.

David Sylvian meets Radiohead's Thom Yorke.......2005-06-03

When listening to Ryan Adams' "Love is Hell, Part 1" there are the inevitable moments when one is reminded of Radiohead's Thom Yorke, in particular from the band's "Bends"-to-"O.K. Computer" period. But then, out from a corner, arises a completely different Ryan Adams, one that sounds a bit more like David Sylvian. So, in the end, I am left scratching my head and wondering how on earth could I have taken SO LONG to discover this guy.

Only coincidence would bring his music to my hands, but now I am on a discovery mission to dig back into his catalog with the hope to find more musical jewels like this one. Only "Avalanche" seems to not fit in with the rest of the album, but otherwise, it's an album I have not taken out of my CD player since I first picked it up.

Kill me now (instead of making me listen to this cd again!).......2005-05-02

This sucked big time. What a waste of valuable time and money. And for his sorry a** version of "Wonderwall" being better than Oasis'...can you say tone-deaf?? There goes another CD for the trash heap!

If You Don't Get It You're a Zombie.......2004-09-21

Both Pt 1 and Pt 2 are some of the finest moments in pop music -- in ages. The stream of consciousness poetry, the gorgeous atmospheres, the eerie vocals -- and most important the melodies. So, yeah, Wonderwall appears on disc 1, it's like a little icing on an already superb cake -- and better than the Oasis version. Both discs deserve six stars -- that would be 12 total. Anyone kvetching about these discs should go back to their Guns and Roses collection and leave Adams alone.

For Ryan Adams Fans.......2004-08-26

I love this Adams boy. This is a good album. So is there something here I may be missing? This entire album (I'm include volume 2 in this review because I see them as one) is well done, but I can't help but feel the old Ryan is wearing his musical influences on his sleeve. "Political Scientist" is a straight channel of Jeff Buckley, I hear a lot of Thom Yorke in "Afraid not Scared" and a couple tracks that have a straight U2 sound. These are fantastic songs, though, so don't let that discourage you. One reveiwer pointed out the Springsteen connection and these songs are where I feel the album falls flat. He uses this sound for 6 or 7 songs outta the entire 2 ep set, and while there's nothing wrong with trying to bring some o' the Boss out in your music, they are the least interesting tracks on here. They lack the depth and creativity that makes me appreciate Adams so much. Overall it's a solid album and the not Springsteenesque songs make the full set worthwhile of you know you like Ryan Adams.

Not his finest hour..........2004-08-12

Although I'm a big fan of solo Ryan Adams work and Whikeytown, this particular album is just not up to snuff. Songs like Political Scientist and This House is Not for Sale are long-winded and pointless lyrically, and too repetitive melodically. The song Love is Hell just plain sucks. His tribute to Brit pop band Oasis with Wonderwall is better than the original, less whiny, more plaintive. But one song doesn't make an album. If you want to listen to Ryan Adams, buy Heartbreaker or Gold.
