A Masterpiece.......2007-07-20

The King has done it again!

King's command of his voice is more controlled than it has ever been in his career. The story line is as good for conjuring up images in the imagination as ever.
The guitar work is just as inspirational as it was since Fatal Portrait but with a maturity that allows Andy and Mike to hit the sweet spots regularly.
The rhythm section is groovin with Hal putting down some very memorable bass lines.
The production makes me ever so glad these guys are able to have control over their recordings since Puppet Master. You can hear everything. The sound is warm. I would love to hear the album 'Them' re-recorded with Andy's mobile studio.

The true greatness is that all of these points, while they stand on their own, don't just stand by themselves. They mix together in a greater blend that makes this album one that gets replayed again and again, not only through the speakers but in your head as well.

More Tales Of Gothic Menace From The King.......2007-07-08

King Diamond has really created his own distinct style and genre, and in a playing field with no other contenders, he reamains the King indeed. King Diamond albums have been something I look forward to since I was 13 or so, when I first heard "Them". Bizarre, gothic and dark concept albums featuring the phenomenal classic metal guitar work of Andy LaRocque and others and, of course, King Diamond's incomparable caterwauling vocals and sinister storytelling, there is nothing else quite like it.

"Give Me Your Soul Please" is no exception, and an excellent addition to King's canon, his latest tale of the supernatural involves murder, suicide, a ghostly apparition of a little girl in a bloody dress, a black cat, and a floating severed head. So, business as usual. (laughs) I always love the way King assumes the voices of different characters in his stories in an almost theatrical manner, and the eerie music and amazing, intese riffs and solos laid out on this release by Mike Wead and Andy LaRocque are just sick....I had a blast with this disc, but for other King fans it is perhaps a bit weaker than some of his other releases (although it is hard to top the trifecta of "Them", "Conspiracy" and "The Eye", which remain my favorite). For folks who are new to the King, this really isn't a bad place at all to start. Be sure to listen all the way through, preferably in one sitting (the only proper way to listen to a King Diamond album). In a crowded metal scene, this stuff really comes off as being quite original....recommended!

From beyond the grave..........2007-07-07

Another splendid musical horror novel from King Diamond, the little girl in the bloody dress comes through the mirror, uncertain about her state of being... the introductory song "Dead" is laden with mood-setting organ, haunting voices explaining the basics of the disturbing plot, dealing with a little brother and sister who were murdered by their father, but are scheduled for different destinations "after death" - it is up to her to save him from Hell, after being accused by "the powers that be" of suicide. She reveals the true circumstances of their demise - to set the terms "right" so they may 'rest in peace' together, presumably in "Heaven", although 'demons' pine for both their 'souls' in this supernatural adventure / thriller concept album.

The album features the spectral voice of Livia Zita, whom you may recognize from 'The Puppet Master' as well, adding an enchanting compliment to the music as well as storyline. Besides the intricate Metal instrumentation, cellos and the harpsichord are included, adding an eerie feel to the brilliant orchestration.

Of particular note, My personal favorites herein are "Dead" {the 'gothic' horror instrumental}, "Give Me Your Soul" {really displays the talent and skill of the band}, "Shapes of Black" {great beat and harmony; one can actually relate to these occurrences, environment, and denizens}, "Cold As Ice" {the cold temperature in the dark room even in remmus}, "Girl In The Bloody Dress" {the rhythms and correlations of voices}, and "Moving On" {the hypnotically-melancholy quality and voice combinations} .

The aesthetics are predictably wonderfully ornate, of course featuring the band, and one Magic, King's black cat familiar, perceiving the ghost as familiars are said to sense. It was also gratifying to see the band dressed in black robes within, each signalling the Cornu, adding a most evocatively mystical impression. King promises a Hell of a show to accompany this chapter as well, repleat with horror psychodrama.

Overall, 'Give Me Your Soul... Please' is definitely one of King's best.

Creepy As Hell . . ........2007-07-05

I was lucky enough to get this new CD a day early, and I haven't stopped listening to it since. The guitar work is incredible and the story is scarry as hell! I think that King Diamond has finally got a solid line up that willl work for him.

puro heavy metal !!!!.......2007-07-02

In the King We Trust increible disco igual o mejor que su anterior trabajo. Rif bien heavy y uso una combinacion de sus voces q hace del album uno no monotono. Para mi estos dos ultimos album the Diamond han sido los mejores en los pasados 15 años.

two parts Hennessy to one part Lovage.......2007-07-03

Great album, another offering to my iPod from the generous library of Principal Dondelinger. It's at least half tongue-in-cheek but it's all great. I agree with other reviewers who have described the parody as more homage than mockery. The tracks vary but there is a nice consistent feel throughout, so it really flows as an album. The title suggests one way to utilize this music, but I've found this music to have potential even beyond being the soundtrack to the connubial shake-n'-fake. For example, my iPod likes to throw on "Pit Stop" and "Lies and Alibis" when I am walking alone at dusk, rundown by the day and the humidity.

Just listen to it. It's pretty unique. And I love the picture on the cover; I think it might be one of my Dad's nameless cousins from the seventies.

STOLEN MATERIAL.......2007-06-02

"Tea Time With Maseo" in this album contains recordings and words stolen from Alan Lorber's 1969 Groupies album.

Amazing..........2007-03-12

The production of this album is truly amazing. While there's definitely a parody element, the music is still banging. Sexy, fun, and cool. Perfect "music to make love to your old lady by"

weird but great.......2007-02-18

If you think that Deltron 3030 is the best hip-hop album of all time(like me) then you should definetly buy Lovage. Dan The Automator's(Nathaniel Merriweather) production is at its best, and combined with the DJ talents of Kid Koala(Deltron 3030), this album can't be beat. Also the strange combination of vocalists Mike Patton(Faith No More) and Jennifer Charles works perfectly. I totally slept on this album until recently, but this one is almost as perfect as Deltron.

Great Songs, Great Style.......2007-01-27

I've always been a Patton's fan, and this is one of the finest works I've ever heard about him, it's a soft-progressive-rock ballad with a little touch of irony, it's a very nice piece of art, a masterpiece, indeed.

Product Description

The Whispers is one of the most respected and enduring vocal groups in the music industry with a stellar career that spans over four decades. Its been 9 years since their last CD (Songbook, Volume 1, Songs of Babyface, released in 1997), and fans have been clamoring for a new collection perfected by their smooth, harmonious voices. For Your Ears Only is the first to be produced on the Whispers independent label, Satin Tie Productions headed by the Whispers themselves.

On the dating scene, guys looking for a soul mate can woo them with Ollie Woodsons Can I Get Next To You and Its You (Nicholas Caldwell and the Whispers guitarist Emilio Conesa). For dancers and steppers, Get It On and Love Wont Let Me Wait will electrify the party goers and add a touch of soulful, funky class to the local DJs night club collection. The Believers and Fans were not forgotten; I Sing This Song For You is dedicated to the Man Upstairs whose gifts of song and songwriting elevated the Whispers to where they are today. As for their longtime fans, the last song on the CD, The Whispers Love You Too says it all: My heart compels me to tell each and every one of you, if its the last thing I do, I pray you know its true, the Whispers Love You Too!

What an amazing CD. I am an avid Whispers fan and have every album/cd they have ever made. This CD is a classic; unmistakable Whispers sound with songs that remind you of why you are a Whispers fan. If you haven't bought it, you need to because you won't be disappointed; and if you are, you aren't a REAL WHISPERS FAN!

All I can say is,the world needs more of Storyville. A DVD at Austin City Limits, new album, whatever. They just weren't done yet. Great great stuff!!

If you're from Texas and missed ever seeing them live..........2006-08-28

you should be kicking yourself repeatedly in the head. The energy and quality of their performances was incredible - always had me moving, impossible to sit still when hearing them. A Piece of Your Soul definitely required listening for fans of the southern blues/rock genre.

Concurr on the "Why aren't they HUGE" thing.......2006-04-16

This CD, their second I believe, was accidentally brought to my attention by a friend. My reaction was immediate and powerful. I was hooked. I have since played it for several other friends, in California, Texas, and Tennessee, and they all seem to experience the same reaction I had. With that in mind, I do find it hard to comprehend their relative obscurity. Malford Milligan's vocals demonstrate the power of Sam Cooke with the facility of Stevie Wonder, and Grissom's subtle effects on tasty riffs are only outdone by his composition skills. This band rocks with a southern flavor, with LA style production. I have been dearly hoping to see them and am encouraged that rumors are about that they may tour soon...

Didn't know they existed.......2006-02-04

I didn't even know this band existed until a guitar player friend of mine gave it to me. I absolutely love this CD. The music is great and the beat is awesome. I can't help but get into the music. I find myself driving down the road just belting out tunes along with the CD. Not a pretty site, but FUN!

I'm so lucky . . ........2005-07-22

Reading the reviews for Storyville, I'm so pleased to see such enthusiasm for their art. They truly are fantastic. Their brand of blues is phenomenal, and I still mourn their "passing". The lyrics are inspired, touching, heartfelt blues material. I was so lucky to catch Malford Milligan in a show in Austin recently and to find out he has released a CD of his own. It truly was a heartbreaking tragedy when Storyville split.

I Only Get to Give 5 Stars?.......2006-05-18

I have a modest CD collection of about 300 albums, but I can honestly say that I have played this set more than any other I own. There is nothing, anywhere, like the Meters. They are cool and funky, relaxed, funny, smooth, sexy, firey, bitter and sweet, and altogether perfect.

Though both discs are quite good, Disc 1 is immortal. The early Meters specialized in easygoing funk instrumentals that groove mightily without being overpowering. "Cissy Strut" in my opinion is the best, but it is hard to choose among so many great songs. "Chicken Strut" is the funniest rock recording I have ever heard.

Disc 2 is spottier, but "They All Ax'd For You" is one of the most charming songs ever written about New Orleans, and "Hey Pocky Way" and "Fiyo On the Bayou" have bass lines so wicked that they have been pillaged by just about every hip hop DJ on the planet.

This set is absolutely a can't -miss.

Must Own.......2005-10-10

Not Much to say here. Anyone interested in New Orleans Music, or Funk, will love this. It is just so Rich.

This is the best Meters collection out there..........2004-12-13

Omitting historical details (there are plenty of those out there on the 'Net), this is simply: the best overall collection from one of the finest artists in the genre----pure, natural FUNK the way the Gods intended it to be!

Love it. Wow........2004-06-21

Unbelievable collection of songs, great funk music. I'll never get tired of these cd's. I highly recommend getting this as its much better than the single disc greatest hits, this really covers everything. The Meters are definitely one of the most influential funk acts, if you aren't into funk, you will be after hearing this. Wow.

Open up for the meter men!!!.......2004-04-21

The Meter's were there from the start. They are funk (they still kick it out today, known as The Funky Meters, with 1/2 of the orignial band still doin it). If you want into the secrets of New Orleans Soul, look no further. Their style encapsulates, fathoms and transcends blues, soul, R&B and funk. This is band so tightly honed they make every jawbreaking funk break sound like an effortless display of catwalking sexiness... Leo Nocentelli's jangly and percussive guitar, Art Neville's fever-hot organ chops, George Porter's thick-ass porterhouse steak basslines- ever-fluid but omni-deep, and lest we forget the backbone- Joseph "Zigaboo" Modeliste's boom-boom-CRACK! The drums, tighter than hell, you will not believe what one man can conjure with a fairly simple drumkit. The breakdown on 'Chicken Strut' will make you mop your forehead.

There is so much butter and cream on this comp it just makes me weak in the knees. Do yourself a favor and learn what hip hop producers have known for about a generation or so- The Meter's are rhythm incarnate!

The first CD makes this worth it alone- you get damn near all The Meter's hits from the Josie years! Cd 1 has 26 tracks of their early material, all their top ten R&B hits from 1967- 69, and quite a few more. Look-ka-py py, Ease Back, Cissy Strut and Sophisticated Cissy among them. I mean c'mon- 26 tracks on THE FIRST CD ALONE!!!!

CD 2 does less for me, but gives a good display of The meter's output for Warner/Reprise. This was a time period that saw the band go through some changes and also play as the opening band for The Rolling Stones' 1975-76 tours. On these tracks Cyril neville (Art's brother) replaces Zigaboo on drums and it shows, I think... The material here consists of longer cuts and more diverse styles, ultimately I prefer the Josie material, but you should check it all out and make up your own mind...

Over 45 tracks of the kind of funk usually reserved for immortals and denizens of the lower planes of funky good times. For about 30 bucks that's like 66 cents per cut. Brother please. If you buy 1 'Best Of,' retrospective set this year- make it this one. Then go get the JB's 'Funky Good Time.' Now you've got a party.

Album Description

A Chant Album from the Sacred Writings of the Sikhs to experience Love.

Prem means the experience of love, deep love. It is the love that you have the courage and wisdom to feel in yourself for yourself, it is the love that God feels for you.

We project ourselves through every moment of time and space whether it is through sounds, thoughts, or feelings. The gift of every human being is to truly express the soul through the intelligence of the mind and body. In order to project the reality of the honest self, the soul, Yogi Bhajan has taught the science of Naad Yoga. Naad means sound current. It is the primal sound that connects the basic elements of the physical body to the etheric elements of the soul. Naad Yoga uses sacred mantras from the writings of the Sikh Gurus in the beautiful poetic language of Gurumukhi. These mantras are traditionally practiced with a straight spine, in a meditative posture. As the mantras are sung the energy of the sound current creates a channel of healing energy through the spinal chord and out the top of the head. In yogic practice we call this the turning of the lotus. Through Naad Yoga the Kundalini energy rises from the base of the spine to the top of the head. At this time the lo! tus flower turns upside down and rains nectar down upon the yogi. In spiritual terms the sweetness of angels caresses each and every cell.

Often times people tell me, " I don't have a good voice, I can't sing." I tell them that the very sound of your voice is what will heal you if you just allow it to be you. By practicing Naad Yoga we can obtain the experience of heaven on earth in our own body. This experience will in turn bring light to the rest of your life simply by the natural flow of energy that you have created within yourself. Prem is my new album that is created so that anyone can take it, listen to it, chant with it, and be with it. It is called Prem because in the beautiful process of figuring out which mantras to do, creating the tunes, and bringing them to the studio it gave me a deep sense of self love and healing. May it also bring self-love and healing into your life.

I did not like this CD as well as "Shanti" and "Grace." The production was much less rich, more simple. You may like that, but I did not find it as engaging or wide and spacious as the other two CDs I have. I do encourage you to give Kaur a try. Her music is inspiring.

Prem by Snatam Kaur Khalsa.......2006-02-10

This is one of my most beloved albums in my music collection. Through Snatam's voice one can feel the Love that hugs the entire universe. Every time I listen to it I am brought into a loving balance of calm and peace. Thank you Snatam for delivering to us such beautiful music. This and her other albums I highly recommend.

Calming and Soothing~ Grace by Snatum Kaur.......2006-01-21

Each track seems mellow and flowing. The instrumentals are just the right touch for Snatum's melodic voice. Her peaceful rhthyms make this CD a hit.

Customer Reviews:

Fabulous for any Broadway-lover.......2007-01-30

Packs into 5 CD's a sampling of Broadway tunes from the 20's thru (almost) today, mostly from original cast recordings. Includes not just well-known hits, but also some lesser-known gems. Sound quality is first rate, booklet is informative too. Have given this as a gift to several friends with rave reviews.

Top Shelf.......2007-01-04

This is THE definitive collection of Broadway hits. I have other collections, and none of them measure up. A great deal of care was obviously taken in compiling and presenting this box set. It covers a lot of ground, starting with some long-forgotten but still very enjoyable hits from the days of yore, and finishing with present-day favorites. To the best of my knowledge, the recordings are by those who made them famous. You won't be disappointed.

TERRIFIC CD'S.......2006-03-23

THESE BROADWAY MUSICALS CD'S ARE A BROADWAY LOVERS DREAM. WITH EACH SONG, MEMORIES COME FLOODING BACK. BOTH THE FAMILIAR AND THE FORGOTTEN SONGS ARE A TRUE LISTENING PLEASURE. IF YOU LIKE BROADWAY, YOU'LL LOVE THIS SET.

Great Collection of Broadways greatest Songs .......2005-06-14

This Collection was perfectly made it has almost all the most famous Broadway songs on this 5 cd set. The Music is great and has Broadways greatest treasures like "Memory""People""With One Look""Give my regards Too Broadway" just to name a few of this numerous cd set with over 100 songs. This is a great buy if you like musicals or The music of Broadway

Great Compilation!.......2005-01-17

If you are a fan of the Broadway Musicals, this is a collection that you should purchase. Since I got the 5 disc set I've enjoyed listening to it. The majority of the songs are done by the original singers. The collection is priceless considering that you will have over 100 songs from popular musicals since the beginning of Broadway

Whitney's Last Decent CD.......2007-06-02

It is hard to believe that it is approaching the 20-year mark since this CD was released. My, oh my, how time changes things. Back then, Whitney was at the top of her game: gorgeous face, incredible voice, and a life of endless luxury and happiness. But now, Whitney is a mere shell of her former self. Nearly 20 years in a stormy relationship, add to that her drug addiction and overall instability, and what we now have is just plain sad. I loved Whitney back in 1990, and I am so sad for her now. So sad for what should have been, but apparently was never meant to be. Hopefully, one day Whitney will come back to the real world, admit how she majorly screwed up with her life, and try to pick herself up again and move forward...reclaiming the glory that I am sure is still waiting for her.

I miss you, Whitney. We all do.

Whitney's 3rd Arista album very excellent!!!.......2007-02-03

I'm Your Baby Tonight was Whitney Houston's 3rd album with Arista. It was released in 1990 and contains some great songs on it. Why is this title discontinued? What is the reason for it to not be available anymore? That is what's peculiar here. Whatever the reason as to why this title is not available anymore is anyone's guess. It doesn't make any sense to me as to why this title is discontinued. There are some songs on this title that I like. The title track, My Name is Not Susan, Anymore, Miracle, All the Man That I Need, After We Make Love, and I'm Knockin' are the song titles on this album that I like. The front cover picture of Whitney sitting on the seat of the motorcycle is a great one. To the folks at Arista: Please reissue this title back to fans of Whitney's so that they will have a chance to enjoy it again. Whitney fans: Until this album is reissued, you'll just have to bear with getting it used.

Overlooked But Very Good.......2006-11-28

This album was released in 1990 and was Whitney's third album. It didn't quite match the expectations of her previous two, although five singles were released and were all top 20 and the album a third place on the album charts. Some would go as far as calling it a lackluster but I'm ready to disagree. It did eventually sell 4 million copies and a few of the songs here are very good. Compared to her first two, "I'm Your Baby Tonight" is miles after though. The producer list is impressive, L.A Reid and Babyface, Stevie Wonder, Narada Michael Walden wrote a whole lot of songs, Luther Vandross produced and appear on backround vocals also. Walter Affansieff on keyboards. He would later write loads of songs for Mariah Carey! and Kenny G on saxophone. What could go wrong?

At the time of this release Whitney just had massive success and had been mentioned in the same lines as Janet Jackson and Madonna. This album had something missing perhaps, there was no uptempo dance song like "I Wanna Dance With Somebody" from her last album and neither did it have the same variety as the latter. This follows the same path more or less with it's 11 songs. Many power ballads, some midtempo soul and then a few hip hopish pop songs but it still lacked the songs for a megastar Whitney had become. Although it's far from a bad album. Many of the songs, the singles in particular are very strong. Let's take a look.

Babyface/Reid wrote the first song, title track, midtempo "I'm Your Baby Tonight" a song about a woman that will do anything for her man. It reached #1 on the billboard charts in 1990. Perhaps the best song of this album. "My Name Is Not Susan" only reached #20 and was a chart dissapointing. It sound a little like Janet Jackson's songs at the same time. It's an uptempo where her boyfriend calls her Susan and mistake her for his ex. Perhaps more famous when Salt N Pepa sampled it for "What a Man". Kenny G helped her out on "All the Man That I Need" which also reahed #1 on the charts. This was a Sister Sledge cover, but Houston's version is top class. "Lover For Life" is forgettable even if Whitney's vocal range is always good. "Anymore" and "Miracle" were both Reid/Babyface songs, the first a midtempo the latter a ballad about abortion, although the video didn't prove that!. It reached a 9th position on the charts. Narada Michael Walden's "I Belong To You" didn't make the pop charts in US and not the top 40 in Uk either. However, this midtempo is pretty good, although it lacks a good hook it's a catchy song nonethless. "Who Do You Love" co-written by Luther is perhaps the closest you get to uptempo-pop here. Sounds a lot like Janet Jackson again. ""We Didn't Know" written by Stevie Wonder and also a duet. Interesting song, but never released as single. "After We Make Love" is adult contemporary, and forgettable. Closer is called "I'm Knockin" and is a jazzy Hip Hopish typical early 90's song. But nothing special either.

Overall, This is a grower. Few songs are that well known, but the album is defenitely not worse then anything else in 1990 even if it's weaker then her first two album. Not so strange since they both were phenomenal!. However, this album got it's moments, it's not perfect but it's defenitely worth the price. But don't start here, start with here first two albums "Whitney Houston" and "Whitney". 4 stars.

ONE OF THE LAST INTIMATE VOCLIST! .......2006-11-14

MOST REVIEWERS HAVE COMMENTED ON HER VOCAL RANGE AND SO ON, BUT THIS CD HAS A VERY INTIMATE FEEL ON SOME OF THE CUTS. SHE REACHED THE POINT WHERE MANY SINGERS COULDNT OR DIDNT KNOW HOW TO GET THERE. I WAS BORN IN THE MID 60'S AND I HAVE SEEN LEGENDS AND I HAVE HEARD SINGERS COME AND GO. BUT WHITNEY HAD A TALENT IN WHICH WHEN SHE SINGS IT SOUNDS AS IF SHE IS SINGING TO SOMEONE FROM HER HEART. MANY OF THE NEW SINGERS ARE MORE OR LESS PREFORMERS AND DONT HAVE THAT INTIMATE TOUCH. LOVER FOR LIFE,ALL THE MAN I NEED AND AFTER WE MAKE LOVE ARE TIMELESS, WHAT I MEAN BY TIMELESS IS WHEN YOU HEAR THEM TODAY THEY STILL HOLD A LOT GROUND AND DONT SOUND FADISH LIKE THIS NEW STUFF,THIS IS WHAT I CALL GOOD SOLID MUSIC.THESE SONGS MAKE PASSIONATE MEN WISH THEY COULD BE LOVED LIKE THIS,AND IF THEY ARE IT IS EVEN EASIER TO IDENTIFY TO.AS I WAS GOING THROUGH MY COLLECTION TODAY THIS IS WHAT I PLAYED AND IT SOUNDED AS GOOD AS IT DID SIXTEEN YEARS AGO,IN SOME REGUARDS EVEN BETTER BECAUSE OF THE EXPERIENCES IN RELATIONSHIPS THAT I HAVE HAD IN THOSE SIXTEEN YEARS. I LOVE GOOD MUSIC AND I HAVE REFUSED TO BUY MOST OF THIS NEW HIPHOP GARBGE OUT NOW. MAYBE ONE DAY THESE KIDS WILL LOOK BACK AND SAY" THAT IS THE WAY IT SHOULD BE DONE"

Timeless Diva's Ear Candy!!!!!!.......2006-08-02

This cd presents a hot and smoldering young Whitney Houston! With an excellent production and song writers that include Stevie Wonder, Baby Face, and Luther Vandross, Whitney proved from an early age that she musically has what it takes. Her sense of rhythm and timing has always been brilliant!

The opening title cut is a earth-shattering rocker! Whitney wailing "My Name Is Not Susan" makes for a powerful vocal. "All The Man That I Need" is deeply passionate, all the while contrasting tenderness with strength. "I Belong To You" is the ultimate soul song! "Who Do You Love?" is an electric dance number. Music legend Stevie Wonder joins Whitney for a funky duet in "We Didn't Know". Whitney's very fine vocal in "After We Make Love" is gorgeous and incomparable. Don't miss Whitney hitting searing gospel notes in the uptempo finale "I'm Knockin".

Whitney Houston is one of the grandest divas around the world. Whitney's passion brings out the brilliance in her music. With prayers and good wishes, hopefully that passion will become her strength in her personal life.

Rumors of a greatest-hits package had been flying, but as millions of converts held their breath, Whitney Houston headed into the studio only to emerge--amid a flurry of drama screaming "diva" (a live Web broadcast of the international press conference revealing the album, and a veil of secrecy shrouding the new material)--with her first nonsoundtrack album in eight years. So is it worth all the hype and hoopla? Probably. There are no real surprises (typical ballads such as "You'll Never Stand Alone," obligatory writer-producer-singer cameos from Babyface, Wyclef Jean, Missy Elliott, Faith Evans, and Kelly Price--this time in a worthy attempt to slot into the late-'90s soul scene), but she does try to defend her marriage on the Elliott-produced "In My Business." Elliott's other effort, the slow-burning "Oh Yes" is a high point, but the hands-down driving force of this record is the multiplatinum, multi-octave power pairing of Houston with Mariah Carey on "When You Believe." --Rebecca Wallwork

Customer Reviews:

A pretty solid experience from Whitney........2007-06-25

It's no classic but it's good enough.

My favorites are:
It's Not Right But It's Okay
My Love Is Your Love
When You Believe feat. Mariah Carey
and Oh Yes

I like the beat to Oh Yes and have grown to like the song. Until You Come Back, written by Babyface himself is also notable. I Was Made To Love Him is good too. It's a very bouncy track. I don't care too much for You'll Never Stand Alone though.

3.8 stars. Good CD but I'm sure that one of her earlier releases is better. But if you enjoy R&B, then I fully recommend this CD.

Enjoyable, But Not The Whitney We Once Knew!!!.......2006-07-18

I remember buying this cd back in 1998 and as soon as I finished listening to the whole album, I had to admit that I wasn't entirely pleased with this production. I was trying to figure out whether it was the new type of music or the way it was recorded or even worst, her voice. I realized that it was everything that I just mentioned. Although I loved Whitney since the very beginning and always will, this cd seemed to be the beginning of the worst for her. Whitney's voice on this cd sounds very strained and tired as if she had been singing non stop for days. There used to be such a milky, smooth sound to her voice and the way she could tell a story in a song just by the emotion in her sound but this album lacks much of that. The cd seemed very rushed too, from the sound to even the inside jacket, which is disappointing coming from such a high roller such as Whitney. She does try to put that same feeling into her songs like before but it only comes off as being very scratchy and even hoarsed at times. She certainly doesn't hit the high octaves like she used to and instead seems to be holding back from doing so, probably since her vocal cords couldn't handle it. I remember seeing her concert in Atlantic City just before this cd came out and she was terribly hoarsed and blamed it on doing many non-stop weeks of recording for the cd, but we all know that its more than just the recording thats causing the problem which I dont need to mention. The album has it highlights in a few songs like When You Believe, If I Told You That and You'll Never Stand Alone. Other songs like I Learned From The Best and especially I Bow Out, you can really tell she's pushing herself to get the notes out. I know she still has the potential for example when she sings Could I Have This Kiss Forever, it kinda took me back a little to the old Whitney. I really hope with her next album coming out soon in 2006 or 07, she really has it together and give us back that magic she once had in her voice.

Great Album!.......2006-07-09

Whitney Houston does it again!!! This album is amazing and this album is way diffirent then her past albums. Not really any slow love songs but it's ok! This album oddly peaked at #13 on the charts but was certified 4x platinum in the US alone and sold over 13 million worldwide.

Heartbreak Hotel #2
It's Not Right But It's Ok #4
My Love Is Your Love #4
I Learned From The Best #28

My favorite track on the album is no other than Heartbreak Hotel. The song is just a great track and I remember when it was outplayed on the radio. Now I wish Whitney would come up with something like this. Make sure you pick up a copy of this album!

A decade later and still going strong.......2006-06-14

Okay, so by now, Mrs. Brown's personal demons and public struggles are no secret. And at press time, she was still off her game so to speak though I'm sure loyal fans truly hope she's able to clean herself up and get back on track.

The only thing you need to know about this album is that Whitney sounds like Whitney (before drug use surely led to much weaker and more pitiful subsequent releases).

The "Whitney of Old" could go toe-to-toe and pretty much outsing any and all of the popular singers of her day: Ma Donna, Teena Marie, Janet Jackson, Anita Baker, Stephanie Mills, Mariah Carey, Toni Braxton, Mary J. Blige, Faith Evans, Brandy, Monica, Aaliyah, Kelly Price, Christina Aguilera, Celine Dion.

If you've heard or already own Whitney's classics like her self-titled debut ('85), Whitney (1987) and the smash-hit soundtracks to The Bodyguard ('92) and the Preacher's Wife (1996), then "My Love Is Your Love" is an album worth purchasing or at least giving a listen because of Whitney's awesome vocal abilities.

This is indeed another strong album she made before falling off vocally and as an entertainer.

Recommended purchase.

Hot Collection From A Diva Who Knows How To Cook!!!.......2006-04-01

Whitney Houston is one of the greatest singers of our lifetime. She shines in a space all of her own. Her gorgeous voice is only a part of her talent. The emotion and heart-felt energy that she puts into each and every song is what ignites the excitement that generates her vocals.

This cd is an abrupt departure from Whitney's works from her early career. It was produced by Clive Davis and Whitney jointly. The opener "It's Not Right But It's O.K." is a scorcher! There is an inflammative element that is strong and defiant. Her voice is brilliant and vibrant! "Heartbreak Hotel" is a soulful, penetrating ballad. One of the funkiest "My Love Is Your Love" is one of the most creative songs that is also full of gospel notes. An extremely passionate song which made it to the spotlight for Mariah Carey and Whitney Houston is the very fine duet "When You Believe". Written by Babyface, this one flew up the charts when it was initially released. "If I Told You That" is a fully satisfying production number. The power that Whitney puts out in this vocal is shattering! Whitney sings a glorious, turbulent anthem written by Diane Warren, "I Learned From The Best". This song will take you up, take you down, and spin your mind around. "Oh Yes" is all raw feelings. Whitney sings an edgy vocal with a dark, heavy arrangement in "Get It Back". "Until You Come Back" is a riveting diva performance. The finale, a Stevie Wonder song, "I Was Made To Love Him" will take the top of your head off! This cd is full of love and pain and everything in between.

Whitney Houston is a singer that many critics like to put into a mold or a single category. As a genuine artist with much to give to her music, this is an impossibility. Her true fans know this and love her for it. Look to the stength of Whitney's voice, the vulnerability of her emotions, and the uniqueness with which she continues to produce.

The second in the Hip-O imprint's series of '80s box sets, this three-CD compilation collects 42 hits from the decade of decadence. For those who want to shake their booty, they can get their freak on to Rick James, "Jump" for the Pointer Sisters, and do a little "Safety Dance" to Men Without Hats. Love new wave? Indulge in Flock of Seagulls, Duran Duran, Devo, and Adam Ant. And for those who want to rock--although not too hard--there's Billy Idol, the Pretenders, Rick Springfield, and Scandal. Yes, many of these cuts are predictable, but there are some surprise entries, like Rockwell's "Somebody's Watching Me," Greg Kihn's "Jeopardy," Peter Schilling's "Major Tom," and Jan Hammer's "Miami Vice Theme"(!). Given this set's diverse artist roster, it's doubtful that you'll love every song; and, truthfully, the third disc is weaker than the others. But as a throwback for the music-video generation, Hit Me with Your '80s Box! makes a hip retro compilation that may finally get pop-culture snobs to admit that they liked many of these songs a lot more than they were willing to let on back in the day. --Bryan Reesman

Review of Hit Me with Your 80's Box!.......2007-01-09

Good stuff, especially for those of us nostalgic for 80's music. It's a nice three CD collection of some of the best mainstream stuff from the 80's, including some music I had trouble finding elsewhere.

essential.......2005-09-16

I mix 80s dance music and the number of times when mixing that I find myself reaching for either this compilation or its companion, "I Want My 80s Box," is extraordinary. These are two outstanding collections. They are pricey, but worth every penny. For many people, owning these two will be all the 80s music you'll ever need.

Fidelity is outstanding, the tracks are well organized more or less chronologically, and the sequences in which tracks are placed is excellent. The "box" itself in which the 3 CDs come is sturdy, it is easily folded out in part or in whole to access any of the CDs quickly and easily (unlike many multi-CD offerings). Liner notes are extensive and interesting.

This offering is a class act all the way. Highly, highly recommended. 7 stars.

Great Collection, But ..........2004-07-19

This is a great collection of awesome 80's music, but I feel that each disc should have had about three more songs on them. Also, I think the title refers to Pat Benatar's HIT ME WITH YOUR BEST SHOT. Strangely enough, the song is nowhere to be found on this set???

I don't understand..........2004-04-10

...Why does this box set not contain the very song its title is a reference to? If it were to be truly complete, it would contain: HIT ME WITH YOUR RHYTHM STICK, by Ian Dury & The Blockheads.

A great by for Any fan on Eighties Music.......2003-05-02

Hit me with your 80's box is great box set for anyone who likes eighties music. While it not as good as "Like, Omigod:The 80's pop culture box" It still will take the listener back to a great time in the music industry.
