| | Silver Jews Lookout Mountain, Lookout Sea Vinyl LP Record Silver Jews Discography of CDs
David Berman's seventh album as the Silver Jews' resident indie poet continues in the slightly more ornate, yet cleanly produced direction of its predecessor, TANGLEWOOD NUMBERS.This time, his country-saloon craft work has developed even further, particularly on an old-timey whiskey blender such as "Suffering Juxebox." LOOKOUT is also an album marked by an uncharacteristic playfulness, with songs such as "Candy Jail" containing some of his most innocent--yet still piercingly intelligent--lyrics. But it's Berman's skill as a writer of hidden melodies and unexpectedly rising choruses that brings MOUNTAIN to its peak. Standout tracks such as "Strange Victory, Strange Defeat" sound triumphantly buoyant even while Berman's guitar takes a flight of Byrdsian whimsy. LOOKOUT demands that Berman be taken seriously as a musician, but also offers a gratifying suggestion of levity and lightness.Spin (p.104) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "[A] low-key treat, country-inflected folk rock goosed by melodies that conjure both the Velvet Underground and Johnny Cash."

| | Mariah Carey Merry Christmas CD (1994)
Lookout Mountain, Lookout Sea songs
$8.75
At this stage of her career Mariah Carey does not need to prove herself, but her voice is so powerful that with each new recording she, once again, reminds you: "Listen to what I can do." Vocal gymnastics and Christmas songs are not often thought of as a compatible combination, but on MERRY CHRISTMAS Mariah jumps, climbs, crawls, twirls and dashes her way through both traditional fare and original Christmas songs.
She shifts through styles, offering fans from all musical camps a gift of their own. Her "Silent Night" shows off a studied vocalization where liquid phrasing is key. "Miss You Most (At Christmas Time)" shows off a dynamic voice that is hard to match. She has fun with the Phil Spector goodie "Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)," a song straight out of '60s girl-group heaven. There is even a "Joy To The World" medley mixing the old and the new--the traditional Christmas song and the Three Dog Night hit. And, as usual, her gospel-voiced background singers are out in full force.
There are two ways to enjoy this album. One is to sit back and revel in Mariah Carey's vocal fireworks, and the other is to pour ...
| | Rammstein Liebe Ist Fur Alle Da CDs (2009) Bonus Tracks; Deluxe Edition; Digipak
Lookout Mountain, Lookout Sea album
$17.79
Anyone familiar with the industrial-metal band's dark sense of irony should take one look at the title of Rammstein's 2009 album LIEBE IST FUR ALLE DA ("Love Is There For Everyone") and conclude that this one is a mean monster. Combining the tightness and punch of their 1998 album SEHNSUCHT with the musicianship and elaborate textures of their later work, LIEBE IST is a grand achievement, skillfully dividing its time between razor sharp metal rockers like "B********" or the opening theme song "Rammlied" and nostalgic, cabaret pieces that conjure the spirits of Weil and Brecht at a goth club. Best of the latter is the naked and haunting closer "Roter Sand" but little touches of a sinister yesteryear are everywhere, like the fake vaudeville music in "Haifisch" or the soundtrack strings of "Wiener Blut" which are eventually overcome by a guitar crunching juggernaut. This strange mix of styles is more effective here than it has been for about a decade, and there's no threat of the album becoming ponderous either as the economical tracklist and purposeful songs wipe away the sins of their previous album, 2005's ROSENROT. The group's loyal fans have remained with them through the '00s and have braved all the difficult but ...
| | Lady Gaga Fame Monster CDs (2009) Deluxe Edition
Lookout Mountain, Lookout Sea CD music
$16.44
Initially planned solely as a standard double-disc reissue in the wake of the blockbuster success of The Fame, Lady Gaga decided to release the new material as a separate EP called The Fame Monster in addition to the standard two-CD set, where it's tacked onto a now standardized version of her debut. It's a nice move for fans, plus it helps emphasize the new material, which does act as a bridge from the debut to a forthcoming full-length. Everything on The Fame Monster bears a galvanized Eurotrash finish, as evident on the heavy steel synths of "Bad Romance" and the updated ABBA revision ...
