| | Metal Ballads CD
Sony Special Products' ten-song Metal Ballads collection takes a few liberties with the genre. While hair metal mainstays like Europe ("Carrie"), Bad English ("When I See You Smile") and Warrant ("I Saw Red") fit the mold, outright pop acts such as the Bangles ("Eternal Flame" REO Speedwagon ("Can't Fight This Feeling Anymore") and Bonnie Tyler ("Total Eclipse of the Heart") should have appeared on another, more appropriately titled compilation. ~ James Christopher Monger

David Hazeltine evidently salutes pianist Bill Evans on this Venus CD, as eight of the nine songs were recorded by Evans for Riverside and the late pianist's influence is definitely a part of Hazeltine's style (though the Japanese liner notes make ...

Metal Ballads songs
$15.99
A budget box set might seem like a contradiction in terms, but that's what this is. The box is actually a metal can, and inside are three previously released ten-track budget compilations of the music of Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons, all from Rhino's Flashback division: Sherry and Other Hits (not to be confused with the 4 Seasons' 1962 debut album, Sherry & 11 Others); Big Girls Don't Cry and Other Hits (not to be confused with the 4 Seasons' 1963 album Big Girls Don't Cry and Twelve Others), and My Eyes Adored You and Other Hits. Almost all of the tracks were actually credited separately to either the Four Seasons or to lead singer Frankie Valli as a solo act when first released, rather than to Frankie Valli & the Four Seasons together. (The only exception is the version of "Book of Love" from the 1985 album Streetfighter, the most recently recorded track here by far.) Plenty of the hits of both are included in what is really a miscellaneous batch of 30 tracks lasting only 90 minutes despite being spread across three discs; plenty of the hits are missing, too, among them "Rag Doll," "Let's Hang On!," "Working My Way Back to You," "I've Got You Under My Skin," "Tell It to the Rain," "Can't Take My Eyes Off You," "C'mon Marianne," ...
| | Kutiman CD (2008)
Metal Ballads album
$15.29
Ophir "Kutiman" Kutiel is a 25-year-old multi-instrumentalist, composer, and producer based in Tel Aviv. When a friend introduced him to the sounds of 1960s funk and Afro-beat, he was immediately entranced, and this album was the eventual result. It shows clearly that he's been listening hard to the records of his heroes -- Fela Kuti, James Brown, Sly Stone -- and that he's learned a lot from them. It also shows his impressive instrumental chops. What the album lacks is a critical mass of interesting songs, or even grooves that are substantial enough to sustain a full song's length. "Bango Fields" starts off fairly strong, but never develops enough to be worth listening to for the full four minutes; the horn chart on "No Reason for You" is very nice, but the sung melody is nowhere; "Take a Minute" is nicely jazzy, but doesn't have enough substance to it to actually be jazz. The album's strongest tracks are the ones that have something of an edge to them: the drum sound on "Losing It" has a certain sharpness and the keyboard sound has a certain trashiness, and ...
