| | Best Of Spear Of Destiny CD Spear Of Destiny Discography of CDs
Well, it might look like a best-of, and nobody could disagree with the track listing. But, as is so often the case with super-budget collections that look way too good to be true, here's one where you really do need to tread carefully. Neither Epic nor Virgin, who held the rights to the albums extracted here, were involved in this set's compilation; rather, its contents are drawn exclusively from the run of demos, live sets, and alternates that Kirk Brandon had previously spread across his own collections of archival releases. Two discs stuffed with primal Spear of Destiny are nothing to be sniffed at, of course, and a few of the renderings are close to their "official" versions in terms of execution and delivery. But still, there's a dishonesty at work here that cannot be condoned, and we sadly pass this two-CD collection by. ~ Dave Thompson

| | Michael Buble Crazy Love CD (2009)
Best Of Spear Of Destiny CD music
$14.49 Buoyed by the popularity of the hit contemporary pop ballad "Home," singer Michael Bublé's 2005 album, IT'S TIME, clearly positioned the vocalist as the preeminent neo-crooner of his generation. Easily the singer's most stylistically wide-ranging album so far, 2009's CRAZY LOVE is also one of his brightest, poppiest, and most fun. Bublé kicks things off with the theatrical, epic ballad "Cry Me a River" and proceeds to milk the tune with burnished breath, eking out the drama line by line. It's over the top for sure, but Bublé takes you to the edge of the cliff, prepares to jump, and then gives you a knowing wink that says, not quite yet -- there's more fun to be had. And what fun it is with Bublé swinging through "All of Me," and killin' Van Morrison's classic "Crazy Love" with a light and yearning touch. And just as "Home" worked to showcase Bublé's own writing abilities, here we get the sunshine pop of ...

| | Bob Dylan Christmas In The Heart CD (2009)
Best Of Spear Of Destiny album
$10.09 After the initial shock fades, the existence of CHRISTMAS IN THE HEART seems perhaps inevitable. After all, the thing Bob Dylan loves most of all are songs that are handed down from generation to generation, songs that are part of the American fabric, songs so common they never seem to have been written. These are the songs Dylan chooses to sing on CHRISTMAS IN THE HEART, a cheerfully old-fashioned holiday album from its Norman Rockwell-esque cover to its joyous backing vocals. Apart from the breakneck "Must Be Santa," which barrelhouses like a barroom, Dylan doesn't really reinterpret these songs as much as simply play them with his crackerjack road band, dropping in a little flair -- restoring "we'll have to muddle through somehow" to "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas," singing the opening of "O Come All Ye Faithful" in its ...

$11.35 NIGHT CASTLE appears just in time for the big 2009 holiday season but don't be fooled: this isn't a Christmas album, even if it's sonically indistinguishable from Trans-Siberian Orchestra's other seasonal releases, and the fact that it's been dubbed "Capra-esque" certainly brings it within the ...

| | Brass Monkey Flame Of Fire CD (2004) (Import) United Kingdom
Best Of Spear Of Destiny album
$13.85 Even if one were unfamiliar with Brass Monkey, the very name of the group prepares the listener for folk music outside the box. After all, when one thinks of tuba, German beer gardens and polkas come to mind, not British folk music. But the presence of songs like "The Swinton May Song" and instrumentals like "The Queen's Birthday" on Flame of Fire assures the listener that this is definitely British folk music. Having said this, the music that percussionist Martin Brinsford, trumpeter Howard Evans, accordion player John Kirkpatrick, trombonist Roger Williams, and multiple instrumentalist Martin Carthy makes is eclectic and unusual. The album successfully moves between songs and instrumentals, keeping the listener alert with lively arrangements and solid vocals. The leading piece, "The Swinton May Song," is adorned with a jaunty cadence and features a fine vocal by Carthy. Kirkpatrick is an equally fine vocalist, offering a good rendition of "The Game of All Fours." Brass Monkey, however, takes ...
| | Broken Spindles Fulfilled/Complete CD (2004)
Best Of Spear Of Destiny CD music
$10.69 Joel Petersen, aka Broken Spindles, returns with Fulfilled: Complete, another collection of evocative electronic rock. Down to its cover artwork, Fulfilled: Complete isn't radically different from its self-titled predecessor, but that doesn't mean it's a carbon copy of Broken Spindles, either. "Fall in and Down On" provides early proof that Petersen isn't just rehashing his previous work: the song's slightly treated vocals, buzzing synth bass, and busy ...
