King Of Ill Lines!!! (Rating: 10 out of 10- -5 stars).......2007-01-25

When it comes to punchlines, Chino XL probably has enough to fill a warehouse. Listening to Chino's album "I Told You So", he spits with a vingance and holds nothing back when rhyming. He sort of reminds me of an in-your-face Lord Finesse type lyricist. His lyrics are garunteed to grab any listener's attention. If you ever sit down and and listen to his words, you'll be amazed on how talented he was -"I leave n****z confused like homeless dudes on house arrest"- that took a second to get to me, but I laughed when I understood what he was saying.

Even the skits are funny in sort of a way. There is one where he talks trash to his audience while on stage, and there is one where some girl calls in about a date with Chino. You have to hear them, becasue they are funny.

I really can't think of anything that is bad about this album. There are a few skippable tracks that I find at the beginning of the CD like "What You Got". Other than that, I find this album near flawless. I find Chino's flow to be excellent. Don't believe some idiot who say he rhymes off beat, because I can assure you that he doesn't. I don't know about the situations with his record company, but their issues really kept his hands tied for a while with this album, but I guess they allowed this album to be redistributed. I got my copy for less than 10 bucks, and I see some being sold for around that price. I believe the most you should pay is $20 for this here.

Side Note: I don't know if anyone else has this problem, but the linear notes and the back cover has the tracks incorrectly listed. Amazon has the correct track order and if you put it into your computer, the correct track order will show.

(4+half) Crowning moment for the lyrical messiah........2006-08-25

Considering i have all 3 of Chino's albums i'd say that this is definitely his most consistent. On the production side of things NICK-WIZ performs the perfect soundbombs for Chino to reek havoc on. Lyrically Chino is at his pinnacle dropping some of the sharpest, funniest, wittiest punchlines of his career. The beats could be described as soul shuddering or bone crunching at best and Chino's rhymes are jaw dropping at the very least. Its so rare to get an album where nearly all the joints are top drawer quality. The only bad points about the album was that there was too many skits, which i hate on hiphop albums, and the 2 tracks "Sorry" and "Chianardo Di Caprio" which were somewhat weak in comparison to the others. The remainding songs were just hiphop bliss. Standouts were "What You Got", "Last Laugh" (the best verses B-Real has EVER spit!!), "Chino XL", "You Don't Want It", "Beef", "Don't Say A Word", "I Told You So" and "It's My World". If you love sharp lyricists then you really cant do without this in your collection. COP IT!!!

another classic.......2006-06-08

Dude's first cd was amazing as is his second.

Nunca was perhaps the best on here. I'm sorry but to the idiotic Big L fan to say chino doesn't end on beat is a lie.
Dude is always on beat even if the flow isn't a rhythim you like.
And unlike Big L chino has punches metas and word play that happen to be on topic. thats because chino is an actual song writer and big L was just a lame battle mc who couldn't do a real album worth buying.

Eminem aint on the same level as chino, chino's world stretches beyond himself and his punches aren't borderline retarded.

Get It Right!!!!!.......2006-05-09

Chino is NOT a West Coast MC. He was born in The Bronx and grew up in New Jersey. After he got a deal then he moved to Cali. get it right everybody, the West has never been about lyrics to me, it is about feelings and making people feel pain and identify with their struggle, Chino doesnt do that, he makes fun of people!!!!!!!!! This album is great though. His punchlines are the best today and he doesnt hold any diss back.

LISTEN' TO HIS FIRST ALBUM THEN YOU'LL BE A BELIEVER!!!!!!!!!!.......2005-09-15

AN WORD-SMITH TO SAY THE LEAST.ONE OF THE WEST COAST TRUE ORINGINAL B-BOYS TO DISPLAY HIS TALENTS ON MIC DEVICES AND SHINES LIKE SUNNY L.A.TRUE DATT!!!!!!!

The best from The Best Singer and Tenor of all time........2007-04-24

This is a beautiful collection of songs. Once again it exhibits the depth and breath of Mario Lanza's vocal abilities. It is wonderful to hear him sing such lovely melodies. It is also splendid to read Derek Mannering's explanation of how Lanza interpreted each song with his heart and soul. For anyone who is a fan of Mario's, this collection is worth the price.

Gorgeous.......2001-11-25

Most of these songs are from the popular radio show he did in the 50's, when his voice was at it's best. I own numerous Lanza cds, and I can never get enough of his glorious voice and these beautiful songs. A lot of them can be found on other albums, it's true, but the first song is a previously unreleased gem, which was a big selling point with me. How could I pass this up? Also a lot of the songs are different versions from others I have, so this album was definately a must have, for me. I think that anyone who is a true Lanza fan, will love this cd.

Another great CD by the greatest singer of all time!!!.......2001-07-17

Derek Mannering has done it again in releasing yet another first class CD collection by the "Voice of the Century", Mario Lanza. Most of the items on this album have been previously released either on vinyl, CD, or both, but this collection is worth having nonetheless. The one item here never before released is the beautifully sung "All the Things You Are" and did Lanza ever serve this one up in first class fashion. The singing here is extremely fresh and vibrant. A recording that I don't believe has been on CD before is the "You Are Love", from Showboat, presented here (different from the performance on the definitive "Don't Forget Me" C). Lanza shows us here a truly passionate and ardent Gaylord Revenal. No other singer sang this song as well. "On the Street Where You Live" is given a very virile and beautiful rendition by Lanza. I don't know where or when I have ever heard the song "Where or When" sung this well. The rest of the selections on this offering are terrific as well, but can be found on other collections. This collection is worth owning, if for no other reason than for the four selections previously mentioned. The sound quality is excellent, giving the Mario Lanza voice the benefit of its full presence. Lanza definitely had a true flair for the popular song and Broadway ballad, as well as the ringing operatic aria, no doubt about it. If you're looking for a collection of classic standard and Broadway tunes performed with the mastery and excellence that only Mario Lanza could deliver, this CD is the one for you. Highly recommended!!!

The Count is going strong again.......2001-09-17

This Pablo recording from 1975 represents a new revitilised Basie
band. After some years of having almost not recorded at all, due to problems with stable personnel, William Basie at this time has found a new drummer, Butch Miles and a new arranger, Bill Holman, who was asked to write charts especially for this project. Because of this, these recordings are a pleasant breakaway from a long tradition of using the Sammy Nestico charts over and over again. And what a talent this Basie band has in its ranks: Sonny Cohn and the sparkling Bobby Mitchell provide the trumpet solos, in the trombone department you`ll
hear the one and only plunger specialist Al Grey, supported by
Curtis Fuller and Bill Hughes. Of course the star soloist of the band is still there playing with the reeds: Jimmy Forrest, with his fat, gutty attack on the tenorsax.
Besides the brilliant new scores on this album, Holman arranged two famous standards for Basie, `Something To Live For` and
`Too Close For Comfort`. In listening to them, you get almost the feeling that Basie`s third Atomic period had started. Definitely a Basie for your collection at home.

LONG-AWAITED CD.......2007-02-21

I still haven't received this one although it's on the way. I can hardly wait because I haven't listened to this one since -99 when I sold my LP collection.
What I do remember is Omar's raw and crispy vocal-technique. Just listen to the more uptempo swampmusic numbers like "Magic Man", "Pocket To Nowhere" and the title track. This is also manifested on the slow blues "Ice Cold Woman".
However, the song that really caught my attention when I bought the album back in the mid-eighties was the opening track "Border Girl". Very cathy and should please anybody even though they're only a little bit into rock'n'roll.

A bargain collection of showtunes.......2005-08-19

This bargain collection of showtunes is highlighted by the composition of Kurt Weill and the uniquely rolling tongue of Colette Lyons. I have a complaint about this compilation. It includes "Ol' Man River", but it excludes Al Jolson's rendition of "Ol' Man River." Otherwise, this collection gives you ample bang for your buck.

Mario Lanza's vibrant, satisfying tenor rings thrillingly, but lacks a necessary middle for many of these songs. Still, when the top opens, his sound is obsessively appealing as he scoops unabashedly to get your emotional adrenaline flowing. However, the descending line was not his friend. He's most successful with popular Italian songs and operetta excerpts. --Barbara Eisner Bayer

Rough diamond.......2001-08-23

My initial impression on hearing this CD was: fabulous voice; rough performances. That view is essentially unchanged. Lanza fans will adore the heroic singing and sheer bravado of these performances; purists will no doubt find much to criticize in Lanza's unrestrained delivery. In a sense, both sides are right, but there can be no mistaking that this is one of the most exceptional tenor voices on record. The upper register is dazzling and the middle and low registers are rich and satisfying. Lanza's breath control is second to none, and the evenness between his registers shows a technical expertise that is quite astonishing. If that wasn't enough, the singer's way with a song is unique - not a word is neglected as Lanza imparts each number with his trademark commitment and freshness. This is a voice to treasure.

Now the criticism: all of the performances contained here come from Lanza's wildly erratic Coca-Cola Radio Show of 1951-52. To be sure, these weekly performances yielded some amazing results, but sadly only a handful of these are to be found on this disk. (For a much more consistent "Coke" CD, check out the excellent When Day is Done.) The real reason for the inconsistency in performance was lack of time, and often Lanza was not sufficiently familiar with the material. The arrangements certainly didn't help, with the emphasis on big endings and impossibly high keys. Having said that, I doubt that any other tenor in similar circumstances could have produced as many dazzling performances as Lanza achieved.

Duds first: Diane is a dreadful rendition, and let's hope it never resurfaces on any other compendiums. The Neapolitan songs are rough - very rough in the case of Santa Lucia Luntana and Canta Pe Me - and vastly superior performances (and arrangements) of these and others can be found on Lanza's magnificent Mario! Lanza At His Best CD. O Paradiso is a decidedly inferior effort (especially compared to the tenor's rendition in the 1955 movie Serenade) and suffers from appalling orchestral accompaniment. The two songs from The Student Prince (Serenade and Deep in My Heart) suffer badly in comparison with Lanza's magnificent soundtrack, recorded the same year. Here both performances are rushed and unpolished, with a totally unneccesary "scream" on the word "dream" at the conclusion of Deep in My Heart. You'll Never Walk Alone is a ho-hum effort, and there is a far better take of this number to be found on the CD of the same title.

For my money, the CD's strengths are the magnificent Addio Alla Madre (a performance that rivals Lanza's celebrated 1950 recording and has an on-key ending this time!); a sensitive rendition of O Tu Che In Seno Agli Angeli (surely one of the most difficult arias in the repertoire); the beautifully realized Your Eyes Have Told Me So; a cheeky and exciting La Danza; and a far more delicate reading of Parmi Veder Le Lagrime than his 1950 commercial rendition.

The sound is extremely bright (sometimes excessively so) at the expense of Lanza's mellow timbre, but there is a real sense of presence throughout. As one Lanza admirer remarked on first hearing this disk: "This is a fantasy voice." And indeed it is. Buy this disk for its highlights and revel in the tenor's exuberant genius.

Don't Forget Me? How could we Mario?.......2000-06-03

Lyndsay Perigo is spot on. This is the finest compact disc of Lanza's to date. The finest sound quality yet and boy what singing. Try if you dare, not to find "You Are Love" spine tingling and what about the sheer sensational neapolitan beauties. Let's not forget the wonderful arias on the albumn. Lanza had no vocal equal and probably never will. Listen to the disc, just once maybe and you will feel the same as many other fans of the greatest tenor voice EVER.

More Lanza Bonanza.......1999-08-16

The lady is right you will need a cordiologist, but not for the reasons she says. This is Mario Lanza in top flight, every track is a gem. Included on this Cd is a selection from the full Lanza repertoire, opera, operetta, musical comedy and popular songs of the day all sung to perfection as only Mario could sing them. For anyone who is a Lanza fan or for anyone who has only just heard of the Mario Lanza name, this is the Cd for you, but beware once you listen to this you will want them all.

The Great Mario.......1999-08-15

Barbara Eisner Bayer's review is pretentious nonsense. "No middle" for these songs & arias? Mario had a seamless transition from bottom to middle to top register, shown off to great advantage in these selections. Ms Bayer should have her hearing checked for mid-range frequencies. Lanza's performance of Addio Alla Madre on this CD is second to none.One could almost say the same for his 'Forza' recording. And was there ever singing more lush than Mario's Your Eyes Have Told Me So or Some Day I'll Find You? A problem with "descending" Ms Bayer? Listen to the conclusion to the latter, where Mario both descends & ascends with a facility & passion that reveal the moderns - the Three Tenors included - for the dead boring poseurs that they are. Thank goodness Mario Lanza is enjoying the renaissance that he is, so that we may be reminded of what glorious singing is really about, & once was.
