5 out of 5 stars It Would Be Madness Not to Buy This Album.......2003-06-18

"This Is Madness" is a quality foray into the psyche of young black males who were pushing forward a civil rights movement that was by no means guaranteed continuing success. Their militant approach is certainly dated, nevertheless the lyrics are an artistic success in that they make the listener understand and even feel the emotion of the performer. You get all this, plus the fact that the Last Poets are the poineers of modern gansta rap. I highly recommend this album. p.s. sampled by countless hip-hop artists, including Tribe Called Quest.

5 out of 5 stars Very deep.......2000-09-28

THe Last Poets always backed up what they said just as Gil Scott-Heron did.you feel the intensity&the Messages from these Brothers.it's something that still needs to be dealt with Today.Words that make you Question Surroundings&ask Why? that's the Power of Words&Music.Very Deep&timeless.

3 out of 5 stars interesting stuff.......2000-09-23

i came across this album from a friend who is a big fan of dead prez. he heard of this album when m-1 from dead prez said this was one of his fav albums. this album is an album of beats with spoken word lyrics. messages are clear and interesting. in "black people, what y'all gonna do" the last poets speak of black people uniting to destroy all the negativity around them. "od" speaks of drugs. "white man's got a g-d complex" speaks of white people with their cars, etc. overall, the messages/lyrics are intersting and poignant. i would of liked to see some more intricate beats but i guess that the beats need to be simple so the words can be the centerpiece. recommended for poets and non-myopic people who want to hear great poetry about black men and their problems.

5 out of 5 stars A Comic-Opera Treasure!.......2007-01-28

Dittersdorf is a sort of working-man's Mozart; in fact, this opera sounds similar to some of Mozart's early operas. But Mozart sought to break the rules and to explore new musical ideas; Dittersdorf is not an innovator...yet he is no less a master! This performance, too, is a materpiece of refined (not always!) comedy; the arias include some extremely difficult vocal leaps and trills, yet the primary joy is the witty verse. W.H. Auden (no less!) ramrodded this translation to English. And Anna Russell, famed for her "Analysis of Wagner's Ring Cycle" steals every scene she's in! Ad-libbing shamelessly, her introductory aria, all by itself, is worth more than the purchase price!

5 out of 5 stars an obscure delight!.......2002-07-31

Eleanor Steber's image on the cover of this set caught my eye while rummaging through the cut-out bins of San Francisco on a recent opera whirlwind. What a lost treasure this performance is - recorded "LIVE" in NYC 1965! All the principles shine, their energy ebullient. Don't hesitate, buy it and smile before it disappears.

    Album Description

    A live recording from the beach resort of Crystal Beach, Texas. Recorded on Labor Day weekend, 2002, the album features the "live" sound of the band inter-acting with a very rowdy, very drunk, crowd of beach-loving, beach-music fans. This is a "party" album, full of in-between song banter, and plenty of crowd participation. This album is perfect for playing at your pool party, crawfish boil, or other fun gathering of party people.

    5 out of 5 stars A great CD!.......2004-05-25

    This CD, "Reef Madness", is one of the liveliest, fun albums I've heard in a while. It reminds me a lot of Jimmy Buffett's, "You Had to be There" CD from 1979. The band Hanna's Reef performs several of their own original songs here, as well as a few Buffett cover tunes. Their original music, is catchy, and every bit as good as the cover songs that are on the album.

    As for the review directly before this one, I don't think that guy has even heard this CD. He couldn't have. First of all, he mentions that the band Hanna's Reef sounds like a garage band trying to play Buffett. Well, there's not a whole lot of Buffett here, and what they do cover is excellent. I've heard that another band out there called "Key West-the Band" used to be comprised of several of the members of Hanna's Reef. Rumor has it that KWTB is so childish that they write reviews of Hanna's Reef CD's, (anonymously)and put down their album. I don't know if that's true or not, but I don't see how anyone would rate this album a 1, on a scale of 1-5. For the record, I do have a copy of the one CD from Key West-the Band that is available here on amazon, called "Americana". It's really hard to review, since almost all of the songs on it are cover tunes. Why put out an album to sell to the public, if it's mainly just remakes of songs by other artists?

    Regardless, this is my review of the Hanna's Reef album, so I'll not digress again. This CD has some great tropical stuff on it, including my favorite track, "Beach People, Beach Music". An equally fun song is "Let the Good Times Roll", with a great Cajun beat to it. And the cover of Buffett's "One Particular Harbor" is the best I've heard by anyone other than the Coral Reefer Band. I saw these guys live at the Shrimp Festival in Gulf Shores in 2002. They were as good live (and in person) as they are on this album!

    1 out of 5 stars THIS MUSIC SUCKS.......2004-04-21

    THE WORST CD I'VE EVER BOUGHT.

    I BOUGHT THIS CD BASED ON ALL OF THESE RAVING REVIEWS THAT YOU'LL READ BELOW.

    I TRIED TO DOWNLOAD THE MP3 SAMPLES, BUT PROBLEMS WITH HARDWARE/SOFTWARE/AMAZON/AOL OR ALL OF THE ABOVE KEPT ME FROM FROM SAMPLING THIS PURCHASE.

    IT WAS VERY DISAPPOINTING.

    SOUNDS LIKE MY SONS GARAGE BAND TRYING TO PLAY BUFFETT SONGS.

    5 out of 5 stars A fun album!.......2004-02-04

    This album is like having a party in your CD player! It is a live CD, recorded at some "beach bar" in Texas. I had never heard of this band, Hanna's Reef, until a recent trip to New Orleans, for a party there. These guys were awesome. They have great original material, and their covers of Jimmy Buffett songs are the best I've ever heard.

    If you are in the mood for a fun album, this fits the ticket. About the only "serious" song on here is "Sunday Morning in New Orleans". It is excellent. And so is the rest of the album.

    5 out of 5 stars What was that guy thinking?.......2004-01-26

    I don't normally take the time to write reviews, but after reading the one before this one, I just had to. I bought a copy of this album, "Reef Madness", and frankly, I am very pleased with it. I heard Hanna's Reef in Key West, Florida last November, when they played at the Meeting of the Minds party down there. I was so impressed with their live show that I bought a copy of their album. They do an excellent job on the 4 cover tunes thay have here on the album. But more than that, their original songs are extremely good. They really seem to have captured the "Texas beach sound" that they talk about in the liner notes.
    As for their claim that they are the original members of "Key West - the band", I only have one comment. I saw Key West the band years ago in Pensacola, and it seems like these guys actually are exactly the same ones that were onstage with the band then. Ironically, when I recently saw the band Key West (in Key West, Florida), I didn't recognize a single member except the bass player. I don't really know what's going on with that situation, but frankly, I don't care. I really like this album from Hanna's Reef, and I can't wait to hear their new material.
    As for the current ensemble of Key West the band, I don't really care for them too much. They play a lot heavier music now, and they all look like they just got out of jail. I think I'll pass on them...next time.

    1 out of 5 stars typical Buffet cover band dribble.......2003-09-26

    This group bills it's self as the original Key West the Band so I tried it out because I like that group.
    No contest!
    If I were Key West the Band I would sue for misrepresentation!
    I tried listening to this music but it was tough to make it all the way thru.Bad, clique lyrics and songs.The singer is good but can't make up for the horrible songs and grainy recording techniques.
    Maybe next time -- but I doubt it.

        This new double-CD set of The Last Poets and This Is Madness features beautiful packaging that befits the music's landmark status. Public Enemy's Chuck D and Professor Griff, spoken-word master Saul Williams, and many others contribute to the accompanying 24-page, full-color booklet that documents The Last Poets' influence with insightful commentary, rare photos, original advertisements, and complete lyrics. Rediscover who Ice Cube calls "the first real hardcore rappers": Dubbed "the village elders of the rap world" by The New York Times, created two of modern music's most influential albums: The Last Poets (1970) and This Is Madness (1971). Light In The Attic & Vampi Soul are honored to reissue both records as a deluxe edition double CD. Combining politically charged street poetry with inventive yet tribal percussion, these records sparked the rap revolution and, historic achievements aside, thrilled fans with chart-topping music that still resonates more than 30 years later.

            4 out of 5 stars the nostalgia gene kicks in.......2007-02-20

            before BRIDE became BRIDE, they were known as MATRIX and they released a few demos on the 80's metal/hard rock club circuit. i got turned onto BRIDE through a buddy of mine who lived in my neighborhood when i was 13 years old. as a budding metal head into Crue, Ratt, Cinderella, i liked what i heard. then my friend let me copy his original tapes of MATRIX demos. these were far different than the band that they would grow to be.

            While BRIDE embraced an epic, thrashy metal realm full of gothic images, dragon slayings, and other DIO-isms; Matrix was a much more stripped down affair. their songs built on hard rock riffs and a knack for some new wave styled pop melodies. in fact, you might think of Matrix as a more rockin' version of The Cars. another point of reference would be the awesome, although obscure group, The Jesters Of Destiny.

            these songs really seemed to capture my attention when i was a kid and i recall playing thenm endlessly. well, i was absolutely chuffed to find that these were released on cd and i ordered mine and have been listening to it with much joy. i'm not exactly sure that these would be so great to me if i had not heard these when i was younger. because, even though i like these songs alot, they are certainly on the cheesy side of things. but any lover of good music can't help but notice that there are tons of great songwriting that is beginning to take form in these early recordings. fans of heavy metal might not find much to rock out to, but those interested in discovering unknown new wave/hard rock artifacts from the past might find quite a bit of interest in cd1 of this release. for me, it's been great revisiting these songs after many years.

            5 out of 5 stars 40 of Bride's greatest songs.......2006-02-09

            For fans of Bride, this is a must have. Both CD's together have 40 songs from the early days of Matrix through the Bride songs of the Lost Reels. Several of the songs did make it on to later Bride releases. All of Bride's music rocks, but this is so unique because it covers all of the early years of Bride dating clear back to 1982. The music is full of power and energy. What a deal for 40 recordings!
