| | Cat Stevens Classics Volume 24 CD Cat Stevens Discography of CDs
(1 Customer Review)
As part of A&M's 1987 anniversary Classics series, Cat Stevens' Classics, Vol. 24 (the volume indicating its position in the series, not the 24th Cat Stevens collection) winds up having all the faults of this particular series, dividing its 20 songs between hits and album tracks, creating an unsatisfying retrospective. Many of his biggest songs from his singer/songwriter albums for A&M are here, along with selections from the Harold & Maude soundtrack, but the remainder of the collection isn't particularly well-chosen, as the quality of the album tracks vacillates drastically. Though there are good moments here, it pales considerably in comparison to both the earlier Greatest Hits and the definitive 2000 sampler, The Very Best of Cat Stevens. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine

Classics Volume 24 album
$9.54 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 could very well have been released all those years ago, as it mixes up the show tunes, gospel, and Christmas carols with covers of Skeeter Davis' "The End of the World," the Rolling Stones' "Wild Horses," and a version of "Daydream Believer" that is easily the slowest on record. Boyle sings beautifully throughout, delivering more of the same of what she did in her moment in the sun on television. Those ...

| | Lady Gaga Fame Monster CD (2009)
Classics Volume 24 music CDs
$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 finish, as evident on the heavy steel synths of "Bad Romance" and the updated ABBA revision "Alejandro," as it is on the rock & roll ballad "Speechless" -- its big guitars lifted from Noel Gallagher -- and the wonderful, perverse march "Teeth." Even the stuttering splices on "Telephone," a duet with Beyoncé, leans to the other side of the Atlantic, which just emphasizes the otherness that's become Gaga's calling card. And even as she's becoming omnipresent, ...

$12.35 The Love Exchange's only album is an obscure also-ran psychedelic effort, though it's not poor. "Swallow the Sun," their most familiar tune due to its appearance on some '60s anthologies, is the standout on this assortment of rudimentary trippy garage-psych explorations. The minor-key yet poppy melodic progressions, leaning on snaky guitar lines and organ, ...
