1 star Can I give it zero stars?
Bought this disc on favourable reviews in the music press. What an error of judgment!! This is COMPLETE dross and best avoided at all costs. Not sure in all my CD-buying years to have acquired such a turkey. Avoid. Avoid.

5 stars Best album of 2005 so far!
I'm seeing her in concert this summer! That's how awesome she is! Great Electro beats, with Indian and Reggae influences. Wow! I love how bold she is. This is a great "Political Party" cd! Pun intended!

4 stars Seriously BAAD ****
I have really never heard anything quite like this. The musical sensibility is so vivid and potent that I could hardly turn the CD player off. I was first drawn to MIA's own recordings of some of these cuts and must admit that the production sheen on the full album isn't always to my liking. I'm most fond of the jarring beats and discordant blurts of sound on, for example, "Bucky Done Gun." The more nearly original tracks like "Galang" and "Pull up The People" also cut me harder. Nonetheless, this is such infectious and almost breathtakingly original performance that I just LOVE listening! I guess the downside would be the content. This is subversive material. I sure don't intend my daughters to develop the cynicism of "10 Dollar" or the misandry of "Hombre." I also hope that youth in this world find more hope and drop fewer bombs than the mutually distrustful citizens of M.I.A.'s world. What a disc, though! Seriously BAAD ****!

3 stars World Music and independent thinking all the way!
Wow! This is so refreshing. Maya raps about things she has experienced in her place of origin, India. The way she raps about it is very empowering. She sounds strong and she speaks the truth about the world in great electronic dance reggae/indie beats. I love the eclectic mix and i love to dance to this. If your sick of mainstream and pop culture buy this album!

Raekwon Only Built 4 Cuban Linx... CD  (1995)

Kala album
CD $9.35  4.7 stars Top 500 Audio Samples Definitive Album
The topics on CUBAN LINX are all Chef-centered braggadocio, and the beats constantly reflect the hip-hop underground. Raekwon defines the politics of the rap game on "Incarcerated Scarfaces," and invites any non-believers to test his skills. Joining Raekwon on just about every cut, fellow Clan-man Ghost Face Killer gives a great solo effort on "Wisdom Body." In fact, CUBAN LINX bares closer resemblance to an actual Wu-Tang Clan album than any solo record by a Wu-Tang member. The backing track for "Guillotine (Swordz)" was previously introduced on Method Man's solo album TICAL, and Raekwon and his crew expand on it for a quick flashback. "Can It Be All So Simple" also returns--this time in a remixed ...

Kala album
CD $12.25  4.5 stars Top 500 Audio Samples Definitive Album
Favorably compared to the Flaming Lips, Mercury Rev, and Broken Social Scene, the Arcade Fire's sound seems to come from a lifetime of listening to the Cure, Talking Heads, Elvis Costello, and many others--even a dose of soul gets worked into these grand anthems. Chassagne delivers some spellbinding vocals on "Haiti," while the tinkling piano and strings on "Crown of Love" conjure up a heartbroken surfside prom. In 2004, this made many critics' year-end lists, and it's no wonder--the songs on ...
Flowers In The Dirt
Paul McCartney Flowers In The Dirt CD  (1989)

Kala CD music
CD $13.75  4 stars Top 500 Audio Samples Definitive Album
All songs written by Paul McCartney except "My Brave Face", "You Want Her Too", "Don't Be Careless Love" and "That Day Is Done" (McCartney/MacManus). FLOWERS IN THE DIRT is arguably McCartney's finest album of the '80s (and '90s, for that matter). A large part of the credit is due to Elvis Costello, who cowrote several of the album's tracks. Costello provided the necessary artistic contrast that had been missing in McCartney's compositional process ever since his parting with Lennon. It doesn't hurt either that McCartney's melodic bass figures are at the heart of many arrangements here, a crucial element lacking in much of his previous solo work. The Costello collaborations are predictably the strongest offerings: the opening "My Brave Face" is a cheeky, upbeat post-breakup tune, and "You Want Her Too" is an infectious expression of romantic rivalry. McCartney's own tunes are none too shabby, though. The warm, sentimental "Put It There" and the rocking "Figure of Eight" are among the solo-composed standouts. Engineers: Neil Dorfsman, Steve Lipson, Geoff Emrick, Arne Frager, Jon Kelly, Jon Jacobs, Peter Henderson, Tchad Blake, Ross Cullum. Personnel include: Paul McCartney ...

Chet Baker Songs For Lovers CD  (1997)

CD $9.49  Audio Samples
All 12 tracks here span the years 1953-1957 and were recorded when Chet Baker was at the peak of his popularity. Most of the tracks were recorded by his quartet, which included pianist Russ Freeman. Baker always favored romantic jazz standard ballads of yearning and seduction. His trumpet playing is extremely natural and melodic and disarmingly yet deceptively simple. He plays in clear toned, ...
