5 out of 5 stars Pleasant Surprise.......2006-08-10

I did not realize that this album was out. I was searching for the Prince CD's that I had lost and I found this one. Once again Prince does a GREAT job. He is never a disappointment.

3 out of 5 stars Pretty good for the New Prince, but still not like the Old Prince.......2006-04-20

For $3 bucks, this ain't a bad deal. Pretty good for the New Prince, but not like the Old Prince, SST is an above-average track for Prince that, if added to his recent album, would have been a highlight. Odd Sade reference notwithstanding, this track has a cool New Orleans-style melody hook, complex, gospel-style vocals, and a nice vibe. While the intrumental jam BRAND NEW ORLEANS has a sorta clever title, it's really just another throwaway Prince groove that should have kept in The Vaults. Still, SST ranks as one of Prince's better recent cuts that puts most of his last-decade work to shame. Let's he stays this focused and raw and self-contained on his next full-length effort...but I'm not gonna hold my breath.

4 out of 5 stars Nice tracks..........2006-02-01

This would have been a bit better if Prince didn't add his chimes, etc. But overall, this is Prince and it is good.

Brand New have specialized in pain ever since the pop-punk emo-rage of their 2001 debut release Your Favorite Weapon. But they've outdone themselves on The Devil and God Are Raging Inside Me. If the songs on Weapon were paper cuts, the ones here are gaping chainsaw wounds, full of seismic, howling agony. The moody rumbles of 2003's Deja Entendu were pointing here, but this is something else, with Mogwai-level dynamic range and tracks that careen from introspection to fury and back again. Lyrically, lead singer Jesse Lacey's words remain excruciating and harrowing things, but that's nothing new. It's the music propping them up which gives this effort such depth and punch. "Degausser" starts so innocently, then uses a bridge augmented with a bitter children's chorus straight out of The Wall as a lead in to Lacey's bitter refrain of "I'll never say anything right." Then there's the nearly 8-minute "Limousine (MS Rebridge)," epic, and epically sad, constantly threatening to descend into pure cacophony (and eventually succeeding). Repeated listens will tune your ear to the band's still-intact pop sense (especially on "Not the Sun" and "The Archers Bows Have Broken"), which keeps the record lively and unpredictable, and away from becoming a depressing, head-in-the-oven mope. Brand New went through three years of intense recording sessions to make it happen, but it was worth the effort. --Matthew Cooke

Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars breathtaking........2007-07-24

this album is absolutely flawless. it's been perfectly executed. Definitely Brand New's best yet. It has a dark, almost depressing feel to it but the lyrics are outstanding and will have you thinking about their meaning for days. My favorite album I own, hands down. If you're a brand new fan and you haven't bough this yet, I don't know what you're waiting for. IT IS BRILLIANT! ......and it sounds just as awesome live :)

5 out of 5 stars Brand New Soul.......2007-07-18

There are few words that can capture the beauty of this album: words like transcendent, grand, and magnificent only begin to scratch the surface of what can be said about this album. I will not bore you with petty details of how this album "changed my life" or "made me a better person" - I will simply let you know that this album, is worth at least one listen. Give it one chance, and if you don't like it, that's fine. But if you do like it, chances are, you will come to love it. My favorites include "Jesus", "Millstone", "Limosuine (MS Rebridge)", and "You Won't Know". This album is a stirring orchestral treat for the ears and soul. Please experience this for yourself.

5 out of 5 stars Powerful.......2007-07-04

This album takes off in a different direction from Deja Entandu, Its full of emotion and power like their last album but with more screaming. An awesome album, Brand New continues to refine their sound and have come a long way from Your Favorite Weapon

5 out of 5 stars Better than ever.......2007-05-28

I've been a Brand New fan for a long time, and this album has only increased my love for such an innovative, talented band. Many bands change their styles to please more people to become more famous, but Brand New has not done this. Instead, they continue to grow in their own style and grow in popularity anyway. This album includes Jesse's thought-provoking lyrics, awesome guitar parts, and meaningful melodies and harmonies fans have come to expect. This is the best album I have ever heard, and I cannot stop listening to it. They have grown so much, especially in diversity of their songs. This album is perfect in every way! BUY IT!

5 out of 5 stars The Best Album I Never Heard in 2006!.......2007-05-16

The year 2006 had come to a close and I had not heard this album. Usually at the end of every year I compile a list of the Top20 albums I've heard in the year. I missed one and I cannot forgive myself! This albums continues through and through with the main theme, "good vs. evil" and it works on almost every track. It is one of the albums I just can't put too far away from my cdplayer. I've loaded up some songs on my iPod, including the 2007 single, "Jesus Christ". "Brand New" was problably the most under-rated artiste of 2006.

Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars Absolutely Brilliant.......2007-07-12

Jonathans' all so positively inspiring lyrics, outstanding vocal range and capabilites, his brilliant acoustic fluidity and musical arrangement, on Brand New Day, are truely to be admired. Jonathan and all involved take it nice and easy on 'You Are My Everything', 'He Said He Would', 'I Love to Worship', 'Tell Me (Do You Still Love Jesus), I Believe, and the beautiful duet with one of his sweet sounding songbird daughters Jodie, titled 'Mercy'. Jonathan continues his infectious devotion to God with the upbeat memoriable 'O, Magnify The Lord', 'Brand New Day', 'Gonna Lift You Up', 'Let The Redeemed Say So' and 'We Love To Praise Your Name'. This is a wonderful CD, to listen to in your car, or just listen to with your loved ones(children included), in good times or bad. Judiciously absorb each positive word, and note, of Jonathans' 'Brand New Day' and I'm sure you'll agree, it is absolutely brilliant. Thank you God, for Jonathan Butler.

5 out of 5 stars The worship project, too!.......2007-06-16

"Forget all your problems. Forget all your worries;" those are a few words of the title track, "Brand New Day" and after absorbing this spirited musical effort from Jonathan Butler into your spirit, you will find it easier to do just that.

Brand New Day is Jonathan Butler's second full solo offering of inspirational music. The project could have easily been titled "The Worship Project Too" or "The Worship Project 2" for it is a glorious rendering of inspiring and uplifting compositions that I find are love songs to Jesus Christ and music with a message for the rest of us.

The South African born Butler, known in some circles as an accomplished smooth jazz guitarist and vocalist/R&B artist, is absolutely unashamed with sharing his personal relationship with Christ with the masses. Just as he so fervently did on his previous inspirational effort, he again demonstrates his ministry in song here. Butler is more than a guitar playing genius - he is an outstanding vocalist, accomplished writer, arranger and producer. Jonathan is from a very musical family and being the last born of 12 children, it appears that perhaps, God saved the best for last?

Brand New Day offers you 13 wonderful tracks and assisting Jonathan in the production area is the very capable, Luther "Mano" Hanes. who also assisted in the expert engineering of this project. My faves on this work include, "Brand New Day", "Mercy" (featuring Jonathan's daughter, Jodie), "Let The Redeemed Say So", "We Love to Praise Your Name" and " He Said He Would."

Jonathan Butler: "Brand New Day" - a blessing from beginning to end.

Amazon.com essential recording

There is a difference between being an inspired musician and an informed musician. Sting is the latter. As always, he surrounds himself with ultratalented artists: this time around Stevie Wonder, Branford Marsalis, James Taylor, guitarist Dominic Miller, and the prince of rai Cheb Mami, fill the roster. Brand New Day exhibits about as many musical styles as there are tracks, all encased in dense, meticulous production. The album begins promisingly. "A Thousand Years" pulses atop a lush, two-note foundation. "A Desert Rose" folds trilling Algerian pop into trip-hop. Melodic, late-night jazz ballads dominate the middle portion of the collection. But Sting's preoccupation with odd-numbered time signatures prevents the songs from grooving, while the choruses are yawns. "Fill Her Up" (no, not "Fill 'Er Up"), a country tune, represents Sting at his most self-indulgent. Listening to one of the wealthiest musicians in pop singing "Got no money to invest / Got no prospect / Or education / I was lucky to get the job at this gas station" requires a heroic suspension of disbelief. The song morphs into this gospel number where Sting and a supporting chorus chant "You gotta fill 'er up with Jesus! / You gotta fill her up with life!" Who knew unleaded could be so rousing? --Beth Massa

5 out of 5 stars My Favorite.......2007-01-25

Being the Sting fan that I am. This has become my favorite Sting CD. Aa a matter of fact this is my second copy, I wore out the first one!
There is something on this CD for everyone, every mood and a great long drive CD.

4 out of 5 stars Soothing music.......2007-01-16

How can you not like Sting? I happen to really like this CD. His selections of songs on this CD are great and wonderful to listen to.

3 out of 5 stars Better than what I was anticipating........2006-08-30

However, rather bland sounding at best. I found "A Thousand Years" a rather good piece, "Desert Rose" was decent, but not all that great, the rest was all forgettable, and showed that this was just an excuse to put out an album to fufill a record contract. The album comes to a horrible end with the title track which paralyzed me in depression. I'm not sure wheter the single version, or the album version is worse, but to me I know that anyway you slice it it's just enough to make me cry. I know that pretty much Sting made the comment in 1988 that he didn't give a F**K about rock and roll, but in 1991 he comes back with a more pop sounding album, and it continues in 1993, and in 1996 he comes out with "Mercury Uprising", and it has a rock sound to it, but here he decides he's caught in a lie, and now decides to cover it up with numerous musical influences, and it doesn't wash.

1 out of 5 stars Is Sting worse than Billy Joel ?.......2006-08-22

10 years ago I would have said " no it is impossible for anyone who has not actually committed a serious crime to be worse than Billy Joel". Today I know better. Sting has almost single handedly destroyed the ears and the soul of an entire generation of yuppies.

On the other hand Clapton probably stinks louder than even Sting.

4 out of 5 stars Sting - BRAND NEW DAY (1999).......2006-07-12

Sting seemed to be on a roll in the early 90s, with his masterpiece THE SOUL CAGES and the outstanding TEN SUMMONER'S TALES. Unfortunately, his winning streak ended with 1996's MERCURY FALLING, a pretentious, unextraodinary addition to Sting's musical portfolio. In 1999, however, Sting made his comeback in a big way with BRAND NEW DAY. It was the ex-Police frontman's first venture into techno music, which he would continue to explore on his subsequent release, SACRED LOVE. Along with the exotic "Desert Rose", a surprise smash hit for the 50-something musician, there's a variety of delightful songs, including the hyptonic "A Thousand Years", the irresistible "After The Rain Has Fallen", and the mega-upbeat title tune. The album has a few oddities - "Tomorrow We'll See", about a transvestite hooker, redeemed by its shady bass line, and the cringeworthy, pretentious "Fill Her Up", undoubtedly the worst song of Sting's entire career - but for the most part, it's a delightful melding of jazz, alt rock and techno. Over thirty years after a band called The Police burst on to the music scene, Sting still rocks.

Amazon.com

While anything but novel, the follow-up to Brand New's emo-punk-blast debut Your Favorite Weapon features unexpected touches and wisps of maturity. YFW was all about the rage and misery of young, explosive love, presented with Weezer-like hooks. Deja Entendu isn't really over it yet; lead singer Jesse Lacey still sounds damaged and full of self-loathing on mopey, post-Smiths pop like "The Boy Who Blocked His Own Shot." But amidst the Jimmy Eat World choruses are experiments with sudden dynamic shifts and style (like Lacey channeling Adam Duritz for "Play Crack The Sky"), along with ruminations about the misery of cancer ("Guernica"). If Deja Entendu sounds like the work of musicians discovering their talents, it's also about learning that desperate heartache isn't just about girls who don't call back. --Matthew Cooke

These guys put together great music with equally great lyrics like no one out there... buy it! Don't bother comparing to anyone else... just buy it.

5 out of 5 stars We Really Havent Heard This All Before.......2007-04-03

This is by far, hands down, my favorite album ever. It was weird when I was jamming to 70x7 in my car on the way to get the album and listening intently and serene on the way back. This is one of the "Biggest" albums I own. A huge change and it was welcome...Brand New is one of my favorite groups of all time.

5 out of 5 stars Better and more mature than all the other stupid emo music out there........2007-03-17

Let me just say that I hate emo because I hate any music that appeals to teenagers and I am sick of those whiny lyrics about how your girlfriend broke up with you, believe me it won't be the worst thing that will happen to you in your life. I have a mental disorder called autisum so I remember being made fun of in high school and I still don't have a social life but it never brings me down because I belive in possibilities and I belive that anything can happen.

With that said, let me talk about this album. Like I said, I don't like emo or punk music because of it's teenage angst lyrics and it's over the top and annoying yelling and screaming. I listen to Sarah Mclachlan, Hooverphonic, Fiona Apple, The Pretenders, and Cibo Matto, I also like classical music and film music. I have nothing against lyrics about sadness because I have a mental disorder so I understand unhappiness but I just don't like it when it's all about some high school crush who never called you back. I never really experienced that in high school because I had a more mature adult life in high school and still do. I herd Brand New's first album, Your Favorite Weapon and really did not like it because well you know why but when I herd this I was blown away, the songs are dark and atmospheric, great music to listen to on Halloween, it's almost like a more heavy version of Sarah Mchlachlan with its mature lyrics and melodies, oh the melodies are really beautiful, I don't have a favorite becaue all the songs are perfect. Wonderful lyrics about fear of all the scary things in this messed up world that is more serious than a heart break over a high school crush.

4 out of 5 stars Great Album.......2007-03-12

My Fiance and I never heard of "Brand New" until we went to a Dashboard Confessional concert and they opened for that band. Well, we loved them and immediately got their new album. We loved that album so much we wanted to hear their "old" stuff. We love this one too. We can't wait till they have another one. I would say more than half of the songs are songs we like and will keep listening too. Which is good, because most CD's only have one or two good songs. I find that Brand New has a lot of good songs.

This is by far the best of their CDs. "Jaws Theme Swimming" is awesome. Definately good alternative music.

The cd starts out with Brand New Girlfriend and has you rocking along. It is easily one of the best cd's I have heard in a long time. I've had it for awhile but think that it deserves the best review possible. I give it 5 stars , the vocal ability of Steve Holy is up there with the many great legends of country music. He can sing the ballads like Come on Rain and two seconds later have you laughing until your ready to cry with the songs like Brand New Girlfriend, men buy the drinks(girls call the shots) and hurry up. If you haven't bought it yet. I definately would recommend you do so.

I couldn't tell if this was a good CD or not from the sample tracks. But man was I surprised when I cranked this up on a 300 mile drive to New York last week! The range and genre changes (raggie,disco,jazz/r&b) is amazing. My favorite is "Sex God". It's a real "come-and-get-me" song that N'Dea Davenport pulls off at her sultry best! Got to see them at the Capitol Jazz festival in June. TBNH turned the joint out and in the rain no less!

5 out of 5 stars wow, tough crowd.......2007-04-02

boy, i don't get some of these reviews at all. this cd is amazing! every track is a mini-masterpiece, and n'dea has never sounded better. i am particularly enamored with the track, "I've Been Touched," which starts out sweetly low-key but steadily builds into a good old jam. if you've ever been a fan of The Brand New Heavies, you can't go wrong with this disc.

4 out of 5 stars A Blast From The Past.......2007-03-29

Like one of the previous reviewers added: this is a real group playing real instruments. This CD is a wholesome change from whats out there now musically. They bring back that natural funk flavor. Out of the 12 songs 9 are really solid (1,2,3,6,7,8,9,11,12). My favorites were "Get used to it" no.3 & "We won't stop" no.6. The 8th joint takes a thinly veiled shot at the techno enhanced music of the day. On the 7th cut they actually mention how they were attempting to bring funk back into music. N'dea returned with superb vocals after a long hiatus. She put icing on the cake, and she's still as seductive as ever.

5 out of 5 stars i bought deja entendu first..........2006-03-13

and it took me awhile to like that album. but when i finally did, i loved it, so i decided to explore brand new's old album, "your favorite weapon".

the only song that was remotely close to their sophmore album was "soco amaretto lime". everything else sounds very immature compared to what i heard in deja. but that was what i LOVED about it! i'm a big fan of taking back sunday, matchbook romance (first album), green day, blink 182 and stuff like that. "your favorite weapon" basically combined the best stuff of all of them. it's upbeat, angry lyrics that sport a young attitude, yet are skillfully crafted so the angst and fun of it comes out. the hooks are totally catchy. but the best thing i liked about this album was the way it made me feel. i'm 22 and i'm listening to this the first time and it made me feel young and reckless again (in a good way !)

5 out of 5 stars Great Cd.......2006-02-27

This cd is great. Brand New is an awesome band. Your Favorite Weapon is probably one of my top 5 cd's in my collection.
Great Songs and Great variety.
The Shower Scene - 8/10 A good opener, but not one of my favorites.

Jude Law and a Semester Abroad - 10/10 This song got me into Brand New. It's one of the best on the album.

Sudden Death in Carolina - 9/10 Also a great song. i love the opeing riff.

Mix Tape - 9/10 This one starts off slow but gets better and the ending is great.

Failure By Design - 8.5/10 This song is pretty good, but gets old.

Last Chance To Lose Your Keys - 8.5/10 See above song

Logan To Government Center - 9/10 I really like this song. It starts out kind of mellow which is different but great. I love the lyrics too.

The No Seatbelt Song - 7/10 This song is an acoustic song and in my opinion very forgettable. I usually skip this one.

Seventy Times 7 - 10/10 Great Song! Awesome solo in the beginning, great lyrics, awesome music. A toss-up with track 2 for the best on the album

Secondary - 9/10 another great song

Magazines - 9.5/10 I love this one too. Not quite the caliber of Seventy Times Seven but still awesome.

Soco Armaretto Line - 9/10 This is another acoustic but much better than The No Seatbelt Song. One of my favorite acoustic songs of any band.

5 out of 5 stars Best band you don't know.......2006-02-26

Solid albums are hard to come by these days. Most bands come up with two or three catchy tracks but the album as a whole lacks. Not true of Brand New. Couldn't pick a favorite track if you pointed a gun to my head. The only thing more amazing than releasing a solid album is the fact that they released two solid albums in the same year. No filler here.

5 out of 5 stars unlike any other.......2006-01-05

brand new is incredable with heartfelt lyrics and catchy harmonies. they are without a doubt... genius'. some call it "emo" music witch simply means emotional, and that it is. listen to seventy times 7 which is probably the best song (it is about a best friend found with the singers girlfirend) then browse over to "Taking Back Sunday" for the response to this song in "theres no i in team" featured on their self titled album. its a great story and its a sad event but still makes great song material. def check it out!

4 out of 5 stars Story of faded glory.......2007-03-25

The erstwhile Beastie Boy known as Money Mark (Mark Ramos-Nishita) has been skipping genres ever since he started releasing solo albums. One of those artists that's difficult to pin down, artistically speaking.

And in "Brand New By Tomorrow," he changes sounds about a dozen times, seamlessly skipping through styles like a stone over water -- a sort of folky Beatlesy pop inflected with some delightful electronica, with songwriting that hovers somewhere between introspection and depression.

It opens on a strong note: "Color of Your Blues," which tries to reshape the traditional blues with some grinding fuzzy guitar and a backing chorus during certain lines. "I feel naked wherever I go/people can see/it's in my face/and when I breathe/it's the story of faded glory/life is made up of all that you lose," Mark sings quietly.

He follows that up with a series of pop songs that hit an unusually eclectic note -- peppy pop with violins and drums, blippy electropop, mellow guitar tunes, tinkly little ballads, folksy-edged pop melodies, and your ordinary guitarpop laced with sharp, rapid beats. Then in the last song, he goes completely wild -- a crazy, funky dancepop tune!

"Brand New By Tomorrow" isn't quite Money Mark's most inspired piece of work -- that would have to be 1998's "Push The Button." This album even sounds a bit like it, with its electic pop pieces. But "Brand New By Tomorrow" is more focused on its theme than on trying out new sounds.

Part of that comes from Mark's voice -- a little rough and gravelly, and even light at times, as if he is hiding his feelings. And he can twist electronica, guitar, drums and a bit of strings into whatever kind of song, and whatever mood. Tinkly stuff, warm guitars, or just complex twining pop tunes, with layers of strings just under the retro synth and solid drums.

It's more cheerful than his lyrics, which seem to be centered on the decay of a relationship. His poignant writing is full of "faded glory," black butterflies, and other bittersweet topics. "Everyday I Die A Little" overdoes the angst, but in most other songs he strikes the delicate balance between being sad and being mopey. "Pretend you sleep/it's your security/no one can wake you/don't fade tonight..." he sings sadly over a quiet guitar.

Money Mark is in good form in "Brand New By Tomorrow," which doesn't forge much new territory, but deserves kudos for being a musically adept, appealingly bittersweet piece of work. Very solid.

Amazon.com essential recording

Funk 101, for sure. We may never totally understand how James Brown took his music from the earlier styles of R&B he assimilated to the feverish development of the harder, more modern sound of records ranging from "Papa's Got a Brand New Bag" to "Say It Loud-I'm Black and I'm Proud," but here's another chance for us to listen in awe. In addition to long versions of the period's cornerstones, Foundations of Funk offers an alternate take of "Cold Sweat" and live versions of "Licking Stick-Licking Stick" and "Mother Popcorn"--the latter achieving a meltdown that puts the Brown band on the same side of the street as Funhouse-era Stooges. Hah! --Rickey Wright

4 out of 5 stars Good but some filler songs, too.......2007-07-18

I was around during this time period, and saw James Brown live because he was my mother's favorite live performer. I was surprised, however, at the number of filler songs in this collection. Some remastering would have been nice, too. Standout songs that held up for me were "Out of Sight," "Money Won't Change You," "Cold Sweat," and "I Don't Want Nobody to Give Me Nothing." Even though the instrumentals on "Say It Loud" sound a little stark now, I remember how I felt when I heard the song over the radio back then. It was a bold message and messenger, truly uplifting for its time.

5 out of 5 stars REST IN PEACE, JB!!!!.......2006-12-29

THE MAN!!!!! hell, to me, he died too soon. this collection right here is ESSENTIAL!!!! nuff said, it's DA GODFATHA NOW!!!!! rest in peace, soul brotha!!!!

5 out of 5 stars One of the Best JB compilations.......2006-03-09

Truly a fine compilation and very nicely packaged. I like the CD being in the sturdy(!) slip-case.

The song choice is great. The Live Cuts are Killer. I have no regrets with this purchase!

Of the many JB comps I own this is my 2nd favorite (In A Jungle Groove is the first!).

5 out of 5 stars A wise investment.......2006-02-26

Ever pay for a James Brown album and within five minutes of getting it out of the wrapper you realized you were had? Ever heard James accompanied by a Casio keyboard recorded in a broom closet? Must be bad needing a quick album release to satisy some recording contract agreement James made to get a few bucks.

Well this is NOT one of THOSE.

This is simply a fabulous collection of greatest recording. It demonstrates why James was considered a genius. And his band was so powerful they could blow down walls. And make you dance, Man. And smile. And get funky RIGHT NOW.

A must for your next soul funk dance party. Put it on and EVERYBODY will get up off a that thing and bust a move. I guarantee it.

5 out of 5 stars The Legendary JB and the Incomparable Maceo Parker, It Doesn't Get Any Better Than This.......2006-02-22

Best James Brown CD that I've heard, extended recordings of everything, which gives his legendary band (featuring the incomparable Maceo Parker and Clyde Stubblefield) a chance to shine.
