The mid-'90s deluge of brilliant Swedish pop bands slowed somewhat by the end of the decade, thanks in no small part to the abolition of a national employment-opportunity program through which struggling pop bands could apply for grants to buy equipment and attend seminars on management and publishing. However, after the continued worldwide success of bands like the Cardigans, pop fans still looked to Sweden for inspiration.

The belated U.S. issue of ISOLA, the debut from Stockholm's Kent, is another example of the country's astounding popcraft. Taking what's good about '90s British pop bands like Suede, Oasis, and Radiohead (moody, guitar-heavy minor-key pop songs with an equal emphasis on hooks and '70s-style epic orchestral sweep) while eliminating those bands' shortcomings, Kent hits a pop-meets-bombast peak not seen since the heyday of the Electric Light Orchestra and Supertramp, but with the charming self-effacement typical of Swedish pop.

Recorded at Galaxy Studios, Belgium; Ljuhavet Studio, Stockholm, Sweden; Europa Studio 2, Bromma.

Recording information: Europa Studios, Bromma, Sweden; Galaxy Studios, Belgium; Ljudhavet Studio, Stockholm, Sweden.

Average Rating: (4.3 out of 5 stars) 4.5 stars

4 stars Good music and good price
Kent's "Isola" is a remarkable album. Almost impossible to find in Europe, thanks to CDUniverse I finally get my copy. The songs are very catchy and have a meaning that go much further and deeper than one could think. The best song is "If you were here" but i'd rather say that the whole album is amazing.I listen to this masterpiece over and over. The quality of these songs made the band win the "1997 Best Swedish Album" Award. It's definitely a cd to collect

Kent is a band that is not well known in america and that's why i love it. They are hands down the best band out today. I feel like they're my own little secret. If I really like someone I'll bless them and let them listen to my cd. Not a single person has said they didn't like them buy this cd!!!

I was feeling so uninspired about music and life itself. This album floored me. Better than anything Bowie ever put out! ISOLA is full of gems from start to finish. I was fortune enough to see them live on this tour in Detroit and balled my eyes out throughout the show. Unprofessional, Celcius, Glider, 747. If you ever had a heart, BUY THIS NOW!

CD $9.58  SALE Top 100
The second Glee soundtrack throws a bone to the show's supporting characters, with Jenna Ushkowitz (the faux-stuttering Tina) singing her first solo and Amber Riley (Mercedes) receiving a larger chunk of airtime. Lea Michele and Matthew Morrison continue to steal the show, though; Morrison delivers one of the album's most inventive songs with a mash-up of "Don't Stand So Close to Me" and "Young Girl," while Michele sings the absolute pants off of everything the producers give her. The album sometimes strays away from choral arrangements and focuses on individual actors, but it's hard not to sing along with a song like "Jump," where the cast replaces Eddie Van Halen's keyboard riff with bright choral harmonies. ~ Andrew Leahey The second Glee soundtrack feels a bit rushed, arriving no less than four weeks after Vol. 1's release and featuring songs from half as many episodes. Returning fans will still find a lot to enjoy here, though, as Jenna Ushkowitz (the faux-stuttering Tina) gets her first solo and supporting characters Amber Riley (Mercedes) and Kevin McHale (Artie) enjoy a healthier chunk of airtime. Nevertheless, Lea Michele and Matthew Morrison continue ...

BY A THREAD is Gov't Mule's first studio album since HIGH & MIGHTY was issued in 2006. Since that time, bassist Andy Hess has been replaced by Jorgen Carlsson, though Hess appears on two tracks at the end of the album. Carlsson's playing style is much more aggressive than Hess', and is therefore closer - in spirit anyway - to Gov't Mule's original bassist, the late Allen Woody, though he possesses an adventurous sense of time and is harmonically more colorful than either Woody or Hess. Carlsson and drummer Matt Abst are a solid match, since Abst is a drummer used to shifting time signatures and allowing the unexpected in while still driving a band. The band's keyboardist and rhythm guitarist, Danny Louis, is a shape-shifter, playing to whatever is needed in a given track. His manner of coloring sounds inside and around a particular tune's framework is a large part of what makes Gov't Mule's sound so fresh here - despite the fact that they don't stray far from what they do best. Warren Haynes and his guitar are, as usual, front and center, his guitar screaming, his big throaty growl hammering down lyrics like a Southern fire-and-brimstone preacher with earthshaking soul. The material on this set is tight; there is less jamming but Gordie Johnson's production and mixing equalize everything at ten, making it feel like the disc ...

Digitally remastered by Bernie Grundman (Bernie Grundman Mastering, Los Angeles, California). Jackson's domination of the world record market continued following Thriller, although by comparison it was an almighty flop with only 12 million sales. As Pink Floyd and Dire Straits have proved, one album can go completely sales haywire without necessarily being any better. The title track and the gorgeous "Man In The Mirror" were substantial hits, but quality material such as "Dirty Diana" and "Liberian Girl" bolster a strong album. Jackson also seemed to have found the romance he seeks in "I Just Can't Stop Loving You" and "The Way You Make Me Feel." Regardless of his press, history clearly shows that he has made a ...
