 (8 Customer Reviews)
THE MASTERPLAN is a collection of Oasis B-sides of UK singles and EPs.
After proving their staying power with 1997's BE HERE NOW, Oasis culls together b-sides and tracks which were previously available only as imports in the US on THE MASTERPLAN. This aptly titled collection fleshes out the legend, going back to older b-sides like "Fade Away" and "(It's Good) To Be Free" and newer flip-sides like "Stay Young." Opening with explosive live favorite "Acquiesce," THE MASTERPLAN will satiate the rabid completist but, with tracks as powerful as the slow-building anthem "Half the World Away," it's also sure to convert any newcomers. The ambitious (though, truth be told, not surprising) live cover choice of "I Am The Walrus" rounds out this energetic, often unexpected chapter in the story of this modern pop phenomenon.
Includes liner notes by Paul Du Noyer.

 Best Oasis Album Yet!
The Masterplan is even better than (What's the Story) Morning Glory? Songs like Underneath the Sky, Talk Tonight, Going Nowhere, Listen Up, Half the World Away, Stay Young, and The Masterplan are some greatest songs the band has ever played! The best album yet!

Purchase The Masterplan CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | Susan Boyle I Dreamed A Dream CD (2009)
The Masterplan album
 $9.55     
Susan Boyle's grand unveiling on Britain's Got Talent was with a song from Les Miserables - the very song that lends this album its title -- and if she could become an international sensation based on a show tune standard, there's no reason for her to change her approach on her debut, since that's the sound that made her a star. Plus, a large part of Boyle's appeal is that she's a middle-aged woman recalling a bygone era when there were singers that appealed to an adult audience by offering soft, stately versions of pop hits and standards. That time was the late `60s and early `70s, and apart from a rather faithful version of Madonna's "You'll See," I Dreamed a Dream ...
| | Jimmy Buffett Buffet Hotel CD (2009)
The Masterplan CD music
$9.74 
Since Jimmy Buffett never leaves his comfort zone, it's hard to call 2009's Buffet Hotel a return to roots but, in a way, it is. Discounting the mock rap on "Turn Up the Heat and Chill the Rosé," this album doesn't even have the lingering country and reggae flavors that seasoned 2006's Take the Weather with You, with all of the songs riding a cool, mellow country-rock wave, the kind that has been his stock-in-trade since the `70s. There's a difference between being part of a tradition ...

With the release of GET LUCKY, Mark Knopfler has made as many solo studio albums as he made group studio albums with Dire Straits, which itself may be a signal that it's time to stop comparing his two careers and simply accept ...
| | Lady Gaga Fame Monster CD (2009)
The Masterplan songs
$8.79
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 ...

| | Bon Jovi Circle CD (2009)
The Masterplan CD music
$11.17
Bon Jovi's 2007 effort, LOST HIGHWAY, found New Jersey's finest brandishing a Nashville-tinged, commercial rock/country crossover sound that wasn't too far a stretch from their usual arena rocking anthems for the Everyman. And where that album sometimes tried too hard to fit into the conventions of trad country, sacrificing some of the fist-pumping potency of their best `90s-era efforts in the process, THE CIRCLE, the band's fifth studio effort of the `00s, is a back-to-roots return to form focused on uplifting hooks and a hard-hitting guitar rock energy. Once again teaming ...
| | Bluebottle Kiss Come Across CD (2004)
The Masterplan music CDs
$15.19
Although only the group's second album to be distributed in the U.S., Come Across is the Australian band's fifth release, and it sounds it. Bluebottle Kiss' first record came out in 1995, which gave the quartet nearly a decade to tighten and refine their sound for this triumphant 2004 disc. Although by the liner notes alone this looks like a solo project for singer/songwriter/producer Jamie Hutchings who is clearly the band's driving force, the other three members -- augmented by Sophie Hutchings' glistening piano on nearly every track -- are to Jamie as the Who were to Pete Townsend and Crazy Horse were to Neil Young. They flesh out his poetic, often stream of consciousness ramblings, adding musical tension and passion to words and melodies that would not have the same impact without the band's input. Echoes of fellow Australians Paul Kelly, Midnight Oil and Nick Cave drift through these taut tunes whose lyrics are thoughtful and meaningful but never pretentious. The magnificent folk-turned-blistering-rock of "Everything Begins and Ends at Exactly the Right Time," complete with angelic choir, and the seven-minute epic "Cross Purpose," a story song whose doomy narrative is perfectly reflected in the yin-yang pull of the music, are a few of the outstanding set pieces. They work most effectively within the context of the album. Hutchings isn't a terribly happy guy, and his often bleak songs reflect the longing, guilt, conflict and occasional redemption of characters who likely mirror the songwriter's own demons and feelings. All of this turmoil makes for an intense listen that is not for those who are looking for easy resolutions or spoon-fed love songs. This is challenging, rugged, dramatic rock with folk tendencies woven intricately into its coarse fabric. Best digested whole where the dramatic songs build on and off each other, the unrelenting Come ...

The song, Where Have All the Flowers Gone, flourished on the airwaves during the height of the Vietnam War. It’s hard to forget Pete Seeger’s haunting refrain—When will they ever learn? When will they ever learn? These words demonstrate the power that an artist and a song can wield to help end a war. But can today’s popular music bring about a similar cultural and political change—one that will ...
