| | Tina Turner Acid Queen CD Tina Turner Discography of CDs
 (1 Customer Review)
ACID QUEEN includes the bonus tracks "Crazy 'Bout You Baby" and "I've Been Loving You Too Long," which were recorded on May 16, 1969.
With its title taken from Tina Turner's role in Ken Russell's film version of the Who's classic Tommy, the singer's second solo album is a fiery workout of hard-rocking covers that, given the songs' predictability, should have been a forgettable exercise. But, of course, Turner is anything but predictable, and Acid Queen is thus an immensely enjoyable affair from start to finish. Her version of Led Zep's "Whole Lotta Love" takes the dynamics of the original and turns them upside down to deliver an affair that is on par with some of Isaac Hayes' finest moments. There are also a few originals, including the last big hit ("Baby Get It On") she recorded with her husband, Ike. Not only did Acid Queen prove that Tina was the force to be reckoned with in the duo, it also foreshadowed the brilliant second phase of her career that lay ahead. ~ Rob Theakston

Lyrical acrobat Slim Shady returns after a five-year absence with his fifth major label release, continuing to strike the perfect balance between brooding insight and absolute silliness on 2009's RELAPSE. Opening single "Crack a Bottle" reunites Detroit's maddest rapper with his superstar mentor (Dr. Dre) and protege (50 Cent) on a fittingly funky tour de force.
Eminem's RELAPSE, a double album released after five years of recorded silence, a record featuring Dr. Dre behind the boards for the first time since 2000, faced no shortage of the relentless pressure of expectations. A narrative of survival after facing down his demons in rehab unfurled with Eminem's usual twisted Swift-ian wit, RELAPSE should disappoint ...

Acid Queen music CDs
$7.79
A new phase in the Jackson Five's career began with Lookin' Through the Windows (1972), the quintet's seventh release since 1969. The album came out in the wake of the stop-gap Goin' Back to Indiana (1971) from the Jackson 5's hour-long ABC-TV network special of the same name, and just in time for Christmas, Greatest Hits [1971] (1971). Their previous studio outing Maybe Tomorrow (1971) had proven to be the last created under the primary direction of Bobby Taylor, Deke Richards (guitar), Freddie Perren (keyboard), Fonce Mizell (keyboards) and Motown co-founder Berry Gordy, who were collectively credited as the Corporation. So this effort is padded with a few scraps from their tenure, such as the breezy "To Know," sounding like a mixture of Stevie Wonder and the Philly soul stylings of the O'Jays -- as well as the charming but unremarkable "If I Have to Move a Mountain"." The highlight from that cache is the funky "Don't Let Your Baby Catch You," bearing a propulsive groove would have effortlessly translated to Michael Jackson's post-Motown career. The LP spawned two R&B/pop crossovers. The first, an update of Thurston Harris' ...

| | Michael Jackson Blood On The Dance Floor: History In The Mix CD (1997)
Acid Queen album
$6.89 
BLOOD ON THE DANCE FLOOR nearly snuck into record stores, preceded by a strange absence of hype. The implicit message of its five new songs, like that of the non-marketing campaign for the album, seems to be: enough already, let's get back to the music. The title song, a colder re-write of the Jackson classic "Billie Jean," draws you in, but Jackson quickly gets to the heart of the album with two astonishing songs that address his public image. "Ghosts" has an icy, metallic beat, while "Is It Scary" has the dramatic flair of a big pop ballad, but they feature nearly identical opening verses about ghosts and ghouls behind the walls and under the bed. In the former song, the ghouls are the paparazzi snapping pictures of Jackson's baby, and he asks of them, "Who gave you the right...Are you the ghost of jealousy?" In the next song, the ghosts turn out to be the many public faces of Michael Jackson, and he turns the image around, suggesting that ghoulishness is in ...

The Razor & Tie label began as a respectably hip endeavor specializing in cult artists, but with the release of compilations like this one, they've clearly gone the prurient-interest route. Nevertheless, if there has to be a concept album about the butt, it should at least be done well, which the appropriately titled MONSTER BOOTY is.

| | Bone Thugs-N-Harmony Thug World Order CD (2002) Edited
Acid Queen songs
$10.19
Since the mid-'90s, Cleveland's own Bone Thugs N Harmony have been perpetrating their own peculiar, wildly successful brand of accessible thug rap. THUG WORLD ORDER seems to intensify the stylistic schizophrenia inherent in the Midwestern quartet's mixture of gangsta attitude and infectious hooks. On the one hand, there's a snippet of the group's late mentor Eazy-E testifying to the reality of the thug life depicted in the Bone Thugs' lyrics. On the other hand, there's the sweet, chiming sound of R&B sirens 3LW on "Get Up & Get It," which also boasts an undeniably positive message. And any group that can maintain a street-real image while conspicuously sampling Phil Collins ("Home") has got to have something going on. The rapid-fire vocal delivery that's always been a trademark is present here as well, of course, ensuring that longtime fans will remain on board for the THUG WORLD ORDER.
Producers include: L.T. Hutton, Rico Wade, The Platinum Brothers, Armando Colon, DJ U-Neek.7
Personnel: LaReece (vocals, background vocals); Virgil "Stinky" ...
