 (12 Customer Reviews)
Paul McCartney retreated from the spotlight of the Beatles by recording his first solo album at his home studio, performing nearly all of the instruments himself. Appropriately, McCartney has an endearingly ragged, homemade quality that makes even its filler -- and there is quite a bit of filler -- rather ingratiating. Only a handful of songs rank as full-fledged McCartney classics, but those songs -- the light folk-pop of "That Would Be Something," the sweet, gentle "Every Night," the ramshackle Beatles leftover "Teddy Boy," and the staggering "Maybe I'm Amazed" (not coincidentally the only rocker on the album) -- are full of all the easy melodic charm that is McCartney's trademark. The rest of the album is charmingly slight, especially if it is read as a way to bring Paul back to earth after the heights of the Beatles. At the time the throwaway nature of much of the material was a shock, but it has become charming in retrospect. Unfortunately, in retrospect it also appears as a harbinger of the nagging mediocrity that would plague McCartney's entire solo career. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine
There were few '70s rock albums as widely anticipated as this, McCartney's first solo recording. In the wake of the Beatles' well-publicized acrimony, Paul must have felt like tweaking people's expectations because McCARTNEY turned out to be the most unconventional, resolutely non-commercial recording of his career. Don't be misled by the presence of the megahit "Maybe I'm Amazed." While that piano-based song of self-discovery and romantic devotion is a superb, moving composition, it's the anomaly here. Most of McCARTNEY is taken up by breezy song ideas and sonic experimentation.
McCartney recorded this in his home studio, and plays nearly all of the instruments himself. There are strange song fragments, percussion-centered instrumentals, and some spontaneous-sounding toss-offs, but interspersed among these are bona fide McCartney gems, including the light, meditative "That Would Be Something" and the melancholic ballad "Junk." McCARTNEY is the sound of a man trying to cast off the chains of his reputation by indulging in some lighthearted experimentation. In the process he created a record that charms and endures.Rolling Stone (5/14/70, p.50) - "...masterful examples of happiness, relaxation and contentment....This emphasis on simplicity is the keynote of the whole album...it manages to overcome our expectations of something more monumental and works very well..."

Raw and Pure
This record is not for everyone. It is a great collection of McCartney/Beatles style music, but it is not "poppy". McCartney is hands down my favorite recording artist, but even I know that it is raw, solo material. You can feel why he needed to be solo. And why the Beatles were four very different styles merged together for a common good. But have no doubt, it is quality music.

From the first note to the last second I think this is one of the greatest albums recorded by anyone ever. If you're just reaching out to the side projects from the Beatles, this cd is one screaming example of where to start. Much better sound quality/mix than Band On the Run (and if I had to choose sides, McCartney is a better album, too). So good I actually gave my copy away so that I couldn't over do it. Seriously.

Mccartney
 $9.79  
Personnel: Paul McCartney (vocals, guitar, keyboards, bass instrument); Linda McCartney (vocals, keyboards); David Spinozza, Hugh McCracken (guitar); Denny Seiwell (drums).
After the breakup, Beatles fans expected major statements from the three chief songwriters in the Fab Four. John and George fulfilled those expectations -- Lennon with his lacerating, confessional John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band, Harrison with his triple-LP All Things Must Pass -- but Paul McCartney certainly didn't, turning toward the modest charms of McCartney, and then crediting his wife Linda as a full-fledged collaborator on its 1971 follow-up, Ram. Where McCartney was homemade, sounding deliberately ragged in parts, Ram had a fuller production yet retained that ramshackle feel, sounding as if it were recorded in a shack out back, not far from the farm where the cover photo of Paul holding the ram by the horns was taken. It's filled with songs that feel tossed off, filled with songs that are cheerfully, incessantly melodic; it turns the monumental symphonic sweep of Abbey Road into a cheeky slice of whimsy on the two-part suite "Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey." All this made Ram an object of scorn and derision upon its release (and for years afterward, in fact), but in retrospect it looks like nothing so much as the first indie pop album, a record that celebrates small pleasures with big melodies, a record that's guileless and unembarrassed to be cutesy. But McCartney never was quite the sap of his reputation, and even here, on possibly his most precious record, there's some ripping rock & roll in the mock-apocalyptic goof "Monkberry Moon Delight," the joyfully noisy "Smile Away," where his feet can be smelled a mile away, and "Eat at Home," a rollicking, winking sex song. All three of these are songs filled with good humor, and their foundation in old-time rock & roll makes it easy to overlook how inventive these productions are, but on the more obviously tuneful and gentle numbers -- the ones

A hellish, razor-fingered monster enters the dreams of the teenage residents of a bucolic town and systematically slaughters them in their sleep--until one courageous young woman does battle with the predatory fiend. An excellent, surprisingly surrealistic genre entry from the master, Wes Craven.

The third installment in the "Nightmare on Elm Street" series. In a medical facility, seven teenagers who have constant nightmares about child murderer Freddy Krueger undergo monitoring for sleep disorders. But nothing that anyone does seems to help them -- until Nancy Thompson, the heroine of the first movie, joins the medical staff. She suggests that they try a new drug, which inhibits dreaming, on the youngsters. The gullible doctor-in-charge opposes this treatment, forcing Nancy to fight both him and a suspicious nurse in order to save the teens. Meanwhile, Freddy gleefully unleashes one horror-filled image after another to traumatize the patients ... till they fear that this is one nightmare they'll never wake up from again.

After Speak of the Devil, Tribute, Just Say Ozzy, Live & Loud, the Ozzfest collections, and both Osbourne-fronted Black Sabbath live discs, one would think that Ozzy had exhausted his concert-album appeal. But due to the success of his reality TV show, Osbourne once again decided it was time for another live album. Although Osbourne's live performances were still rock-solid during the recording of this tour, Live at Budokan seems mighty excessive. The only positive thing about yet another one is to hear the intense live work of Zakk Wylde, who has been the cornerstone of Osbourne's sound longer than any other sideman he has ever worked with. His squealing leads and chunky guitar sound great here, displaying a talent for pure heavy metal that few other players could live up to in 2002. But at the same time, you can hear his amazing guitar work on at least two other Ozzy live discs, and the songs that are new to this environment (i.e., most of the first half of the album) are all taken from Down to Earth, which he plays on in the first place. This album sounds fine, is packaged nicely, and would make a ni

Despite a never-ending succession of guitarists, Ozzy Osbourne never changed his basic musical attack over the years. There are slight differences between the records, with the only noticeable distinctions being the production fads of the time. Ozzmosis, his sixth solo studio album, isn't all that different from his previous two records, No More Tears and No Rest for the Wicked, largely due to the still impressive skills of guitarist Zakk Wylde. However, even Wylde's prowess is diluted by the slick, modern-rock conscious production by Michael Beinhorn (Soul Asylum). Occasionally, the guitar is synthesized, which is indicative of the album's main flaw -- on the surface, the music is hard and loud, but it actually sounds smooth and processed. Furthermore, there's a distinct lack of fully formed songs and riffs, which is what really sinks the record. Osbourne can survive bad production -- he has for most of his career -- but he can't survive without having anything to sing. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine
Let us all be thankful that Ozzy's retirement didn't stick. It supposedly lasted for three days, after which he got bored a

As with many '70s and '80s metal acts, the '90s were not a very productive period for Ozzy Osbourne. Aside from two studio albums (1991's No More Tears and 1995's Ozzmosis) and the creation of the Ozzfest summer tour package, the middle-aged Osbourne had all but withdrawn from the industry
| | String-A-Longs Wheels CD (1960) (Import) United Kingdom
Mccartney
$16.99
28 track bumper package of classic 60s instrumentals
Recording information: 1961-1964.
Photographer: Ken Broad.
A packed to the brim 28 track collection of this Norman Petty instrumental group's best, all released between 1960 and 1964, prime years for the band. The String-A-Longs were a kinder, gentler version of the Fireballs, sporting an almost organ sounding lead guitar sound through their Magnatone amps, the drummer playing wire brushes on a cradboard box and nowhere near the amount of twang and sass that the Fireballs exhibited. They also didn't sing very much, limiting themselves to instrumental versions of mildly rocked up standards like "Should I," "My Blue Heaven," "Perifidia," with occassional trips into Fireball territory with their own twists on "Bulldog" and "Torquay." If you're looking for vintage rock'n'roll that has anice, laid back vibe to it, look no further; this one's perfect. ~ Cub Koda

| | David Leonhardt In The Moment CD (2003)
$14.79
IN THE MOMENT is available at www.davidleonhardt.com.
Personnel: David Leonhardt (piano); Tony Marino (bass); Taro Okamoto (drums).
Recorded on June 5, 2003.
Leading a tight, well-rehearsed trio through a mix of originals and well-known pieces from the modern jazz repertoire, David Leonhardt once again shows why he is so well regarded among his peers. Best known for his Jazz for Kids concerts (which he has documented on disk), the pianist quietly pursues his craft with a loving touch, producing some very fine results. Leonhardt is not a showman on this recording, but a thoughtful, gracious soloist, one who exudes good taste with nearly every phrase. He is helped considerably by bassist Tony Marino and drummer Taro Okamoto, each of whom seems to fit perfectly in the pianist's world. Leonhardt exudes confidence without conceit: he knows where he is going and he plays with a directness that sucks in the listener. If he is not innovative, it is because he is not trying to be. His performances are imbued with order, a sort of ontological certitude. The result is enjoyable and swinging music that does not call attention to itself, the sort that can serve as relaxing background fare. Influences such as Bill Evans, Tommy Flanagan, and Cecil Walton come to mind, as Leonhardt pursues a vision that, while not overly ambitious, achieves a level of sophistication and emotion that is not entirely common, the kind that is perfect for late-night listening with the lights turned down low. ~ Steven Loewy

| | Kids In The Way Apparations Of Melody: The Dead Letters Edition CD (2005)
$10.69
The screamo outfit's sophomore album received a makeover in 2006 after Flicker Records found its way under the Sony BMG umbrella. The boys from Indiana added two new tracks and a bonus DVD, re-releasing the collection as Apparitions of Melody: The Dead Letters Edition. The album's nuances remained the same -- a base of modern rock, indie, and emo coated with David Paul Pelsue's raging vocals. The collection aims for eloquence and metaphor on tracks like "Last Day of 1888," which attempts to evoke a message of tolerance through the eyes of a man accused of depraved crimes. "Burt Rutan" endeavors to tie the plight of the song's namesake -- the aerospace engineer renowned for building private aircraft -- to a degenerating world. Unfortunately, these ties are just as far-fetched as they sound. And the band's cover of Tears for Fears' "Head Over Heels," though noteworthy, crushes the yearning emotion of the original hit. Kids in the Way seemed to seek their identity by flexing their guitar muscle, but separating themselves from the pack of indie rockers would take more than just an extra layer of fuzzy power chords and speed rhythms. ~ Jared Johnson

Bonus DVD includes music videos for We Are, Phoenix With A Heartache, and Apparitions of Melody, as well as interviews and behind the scenes footage.
