not as good as the ep.......2007-07-10
Their EP "Doom" is what got me hooked. JFAC had alot of good ideas packed into their demo. The music was so well executed that it blew current imitators away. I really enjoyed the song structures. I could care less about the pig squealing. Its kind of cheesy if you ask me but the screams and growls were better. Now they bring us "Genesis" which sounds more like a tiring attempt. There are no hooks and every song almost sounds the same. Its pretty bland. I've already lost hope in them and think that this band is going to get raped by the scene. I'd say, pick up the EP "Doom" which is much better than the "Genesis" LP.
I DESPISE Job For A Cowboy.......2007-07-08
If I could give this more than a 1 star I would.
This band claiming to be "Death Metal" is disgusting.
Chuck Schuldiner would be turn over in his grave if he heard this garbage.
Although, if you like JFAC you probably don't know who that is.
I like true Death Metal such as Death,Obituary,Cannibal Corpse,Morbid Angel,Immolation,Suffocation,Deicide, etc.
This album and band are a disgrace to everything Death Metal.
DOWN WITH THESE PATHETIC POSERS!
excellent service.......2007-06-27
this was for my 15 year old....he loves this very hard rock/scream stuff. it came on time and in excellent condition
Good but not great.......2007-06-22
these guys rock hard, but some of their stuff is boring
i still like them, but they are not that special
Vastly overhyped.......2007-06-16
Genesis, Job For a Cowboy's debut full-length, managed to sell about 13,000 units and landed at #54 on the Billboard charts. I'm sure there are a number of metalheads, myself included, that heard that and said, "How?" Starting off as a deathcore band, the band released the Doom EP back in 2005 and made a decent amount of success on websites such as Myspace and YouTube. My only exposure to the band had been with their announcement on this summer's Sounds of the Underground. Background aside, the question remains, does Genesis live up to the hype it's receiving?
I'm sorry to disappoint, but I've got to scratch my head and wonder why this band is receiving such praise. Apparently, the Doom EP was full of breakdowns and the standard pig squeal vocals and they 'matured' into death metal for their debut. On some levels, the band does deserve some credit for dropping the 'core' elements, but this is death metal by numbers. After listening to this a few times, the only words that come to mind are generic and dull. This is death metal that would have been considered stagnant 10 years ago, let alone in 2007. None of the riffs stand out and predictably, the songs blend into each other. The only track that stands apart from the pack is "The Divine Falsehood", which moves at a slower and epic pace. The remainder of the tracks alternately blast and mid-tempo chug their way through, with barely any remarkable soloing to boot ("Martyrdom Unsealed" being an exception). Add to the fact that there are two throwaway intrumental tracks tossed in lowers the running time to about 26 minutes, which is a tad short, even for death metal.
Any seasoned death metal veteran will know to shy away from this one, while fans of the Doom EP may find themselves disappointed by the changes made to the band's sound. Sure, it's not a bad record, but given the hype preceding it, it just doesn't hold up to the standards. The notion could be made that JFAC could push some scene hipsters into real death metal, but let's face it, that rarely occurs. One thing's for sure, there's plenty more well-executed and deserving death metal albums worthy of your time than Genesis.

Often taken to task for the maudlin mellowness of his back catalog, Don Henley's viewpoint on Inside Job is frequently as astringent as any of the best of his solo work, if refreshingly more stylistically diverse. Whether skewering the self-absorbed target of "Nobody Else in the World but You" with some welcome funk or lambasting the corporate co-opting of Mother Nature in "Goodbye to a River," Henley still wears his heart proudly on his sleeve. But the changes in his life have also blunted a previous propensity for self-righteousness into something more akin to subtle, resigned irony, and this album wears it well, especially on strangely downbeat "celebrations" like "For My Wedding." Featuring a typically all-star cast of guest musician pals (including Stevie Wonder, Randy Newman, Glenn Frey, and Heartbreakers Mike Campbell and Benmont Tench), coproducer Stan Lynch (formerly of Tom Petty's Heartbreakers) has helped Henley fashion a more timeless, deftly shaded production envelope that should age better than most. Though he still can't help lament his world's hardening and loss of innocence (to the point of "They're Not Here, They're Not Coming," echoing Randy Newman's "Trouble in Paradise" nostalgic plea to "bring back the Duke of Earl"), Henley does it here with a subtle grace that may just win him a few new, late-blooming fans. It's an album that underscores how quickly life's fine wine can unexpectedly turn to vinegar. --Jerry McCulley

Yuck.......2006-11-10
Now I know why I never picked this up when it first came out...ah, the pitfalls of a completist. NOWHERE near his three 80's releases. Don should spend his time fighting for the environment instead of music.
The Ballads does it. This is gentlemans rock , and no bullshit.......2005-09-20
Don Henley is a shining star. On this one it`s the ballads who does it. The reason for no 5 stars on this album, is that some of the other tracks with more tempo beats, doesnt give me the ultimate Henley experience. Sure the voice is there, but when he show further development from The End of the Innocence track, from 1989 Cd, im totally blown away. Track 2 Taking Your Home is nearly up there, with The End of The Innocence. Its the ultimate soundpicture, so carefully developed . On Track 3 there are one other ballad to come with the Title For my Wedding . The tempo up beat Workin It is also a winner. Track 12 Annabel is my favourite, and has much of the soundpicture you can find on Desperado.
Its Don Henley voice who does it. Theres something in it which is difficult to describe with pure words. Just listen to it and it will tickling youre instincts. This one makes me shiver. All in all and album nearly up at The End of the Innonce standard.
"They say it's just the predatory nature of the beast".......2005-03-09
A mature and wizened Don Henley emerged from the woodwork to gift us his first solo album in almost a dozen years with 2000's "Inside Job." Frequently poignant and personal, and still as opinionated as ever, it's odd to listen to Henley's rants on environmentalism and corporate robber baron scumbags, and then think of what he would have been singing on an album post Enron, 9/11 and "four more years." Even prior to those events, his barbs still sting.
Between this album and "End Of The Innocence," Henley founded the Walden project. It's not a mere rock star vanity project, as Henley has used his time and money to support the preservation of Thoreau's legacy and beloved Walden Woods against developers who wanted to turn the land into a housing development. His concerns are reflected in the song "Goodbye To A River," which questions how corporations and greed so ruthlessly destroy for profit things and places and timelessness. At the same time, he skewers the corporate mentality that would "take away the right to own your own ideas." Hollywood biz-pigs also gets hammered on "Nobody Else In The World But You" and "Workin' It."
But all is not totally self righteous on "Inside Job." Perhaps most poignant is "Damn It Rose," where Henley laments a friend's suicide. He takes the time to look at his own reflection, wondering about his past life of "doing exactly what I used to do, pretensions to anarchy and art." The final two songs on the CD also speak to the domestic pleasure that Henley, a man past 50, has also grown to love. Both "My Thanksgiving" and "Annabel" speak of a man more at peace with himself that the rebel Eagle of old. The musicianship is top notch, helmed frequently by Tom Petty's Heartbreaking buddies Stan Lynch and Mike Campbell, along with guest appearances by Stevie Wonder and Randy Newman. It makes "Inside Job" an enjoyable (although not essential) listen from one of our best American songwriters.
You get the love that you allow...........2005-03-01
The problem with an artist like Don who is so "current events" oriented is that his material gets dated very quickly and, therefore, doesn't hold up well over time. Not to say this album is a waste. Far from it. His bar is set pretty high so giving this cd a 3 star rating is like giving other artists a 5. "For my wedding" "Taking you home" "Annabelle" "They're not here" and "Everything is different now" are all very, very good tunes. And, to me, "Thanksgiving" is a letter to the same person he wrote "Heart of the Matter" to on his previous album. He's at his very best when he writes from his soul and most of this album comes directly from that source. It's only when he goes on a personal rant that makes some of the other songs irrelevant after a couple of years.
Henley's Best.......2005-01-07
This is not a continuation of the Eagles. This is the mature, full blown man, husband, father, & human being that Don Henley is today. There is some very good blues, several nice, slow love ballads, and a couple of nice rockin' tunes. Personally I loved "They're Not Here" and especially "Miss Ghost". The album shows Don Henley isn't limited to being a rocker. He can now be called an artist. Which means, of course, many won't like this album. His politics are evident, as always. But there's also heart and soul here. Too many are gonna listen to this and say "You've changed. I don't know you any more." Well, that's what life's about. And Henley's isn't about just the music. Although I think the music's pretty good. It's the whole package. For those of us old enough to have walked this road. We can relate this this music. But others aren't going to like it.

A delightfully buoyant, mock-creepy collection of film scores from Hollywood's first and best call for quirk, strangeness, and charm. Focusing on Elfman's post-1992 work (much of it for director Tim Burton), this 2 CD set features excerpts from Edward Scissorhands, To Die For, and Batman Returns, among other lesser items. -- Jeff Bateman

Priceless, at any price.......2007-07-06
Years ago, watching peter Jennings cover the funeral procession of Princess Diana, my soul was captured by some hauntingly beautiful music that at times played in the background. So began my mission to find out what it was, who wrote it and how I could get it. After some correspondence with the network I was put in touch with the woman who "put together" that part of the programming. All she could remember is that it came from the movie "Black Beauty". THEN I found out how many versions of that had been made lol. With determination, I finally found it, and had a local music store order it for me.
There are no words to describe what this music does to me. I did try listening to some of the other tracks, but they didn't even come close. I rate this music right up there with the 1971 score for "Jane Eyre" by John Willams... and that's pretty high :D
Good overview.......2007-04-18
Very nice overview of Elfman work. Insufficient by itself but worth having along with the full soundtracks. Bonus disc is a nice extra.
Great Music!!!!!!!!!.......2005-09-08
I Love Danny Elfman's music so much that I have started my own collection of the soundtracks that he composed. For a while, I was trying to find the "Beetlejuice" theme song from the TV show, but thanks to this release, I finally have it!!! Keep up the good work Elfman!
Very nice for a Danny Elfman collection.......2005-08-02
Music For A Darkened Theater, Vol.2 is a great cd!!! I love all of the tracks on both cd's,but my fav. ones are the t.v. scores and the This Is Halloween demo!!! If you love this,then i recomend looking at all the actually albums on this cd and his other works!!!! good job,Danny Elfman.
Bring on Volume 3.......2005-05-04
The liner notes and "This is Halloween Demo" on this compilation are well worth the CD price by themselves. Danny comments on each of the tracks on the CDs which is a rare and ego-free look at what a composer thinks of his own work.
Edward Scissorhands is magical, Black Beauty is a rollercoaster of emotion, and Dolores Claiborne makes me want to find the nearest piano. This is not a "Most Popular" compilation, rather it aptly showcases Danny Elfman's (and Orchestrator, Steve Bartek's) brilliance and wide range of style.
Every suite has an Elfman signature, such as the layered complexity which never sounds overdone, or the use of a choir as an instrument.
This (and Volume 1) are examples of the work of a modern day composer who consistently stands out as one of the best.
If you like this and have the spare cash, grab the individual scores from some of the movies he has worked on, including "Men In Black", "Spiderman", "Batman", "Batman Returns", "Nightmare Before Christmas", "Edward Scissorhands", "Mars Attacks" and so many more.

Composer John Powell pays homage to this film's Eurocentrism and modern setting with a spare, twitchy main title and other cues that evoke a winning cross-pollinization of the oeuvres of Thomas Newman and David Holmes. Combining organic orchestral elements with electronic flourishes to good effect, that jazz-influenced, post-modernist tack quietly propels the best moments here. The score's main shortcomings are predictable: Thunderous blasts of percussion cadences and thrash guitar that have become expected contemporary action movie cliches. Yet Powell manages to freshen even some of those with intriguing new timbres. Like the suspense caper genre itself, it's a score where the pay-off is not nearly as interesting as the getting there. --Jerry McCulley
Customer Reviews:
My Favorite Movie Score!.......2007-05-28
This is a soundtrack with upbeat driving rhythms I never seem to tire of even after nearly 3 years. Though, as with other reviewers I was disappointed about so many tracks by other artists not being included.
One of my favorite non John Powell tracks was the transition music just after the Venice heist to the cast being in the Alps.
For ages, I tried to locate the song "Girl and Posse Surf" by Paul Haslinger, but even after nearly 3 years was unable to do so.
Finally, with an email to the right person I discovered the awesome track which had long eluded me was not called "Girl and Posse Surf" after all.
The song is called "Let's Go" and can only be listened to via Mr. Haslinger's website. It can not be purchased on any soundtrack or any cd. Though, hopefully one day it will become available.
But, until then, if you love that particular piece of music in the "Italian Job", at least you can listen to it on Mr. Haslinger's website ([..]).
All other non John Powell tracks are available for download or purchase.
In summary, I would highly recommend John Powell's music score. It's great music to drive to, workout to, clean the house to etc.
No Money???.......2006-10-29
The one song I was looking to buy this for was 'money' buy velet revolver. I can't believe it is not on the soundtrack??? It played during the movie, then in the end credits - the guitar solo is killer!!!! How can they leave it off the soundtrack???? Yes that is correct, because of money...
It does not have all the music from the movie (alas, a dissapointment) but the score itself is...Good........2005-07-19
Like most, I became severely peeved when I bought this c.d. and realized that most of the songs I had had stuck in my head were not there. I was angry and strongly considered returning the c.d. when I looked at my receipt and low and behold, there, in small print where the words "cannot be returned if opened." And my c.d. (as it was) was opened. So, I gave a big sigh and stared at the c.d. for a while, then decided to get my eighteen bucks worth out of it. I stuck it in my boombox and decided to evaluate it.
The intellegence of this c.d. takes a while before it really hits you. Yes, it does not have all the songs from the movie on it, but in the grand scheme of things, it does not truly need it. I listened to the c.d. long and hard for a while before it struck me: This...is cool. John Powell, while having produced much better soundtracks (I am Sam, The Bourne Supremacy) proved himself as having a way with digital noises, drums, and orchastrations. This is a clever c.d. I like it. Listening to it when I'm at home loafing around is actually quite fun, and gives me time to really appreciate what a neat soundtrack this really is.
Anyway....This is a good c.d. It is catchy, and has a nice beat to it. I really enjoyed listening to it. However, be forewarned: This does not have the rock and techno tunes in it. If that's what you're looking for, move on. For the rest, buy this c.d. It is smart and clever. You'll like it.
A Big Mistake.......2005-04-02
There are some great moments on this sound track, and some very interesting orchestrations, but the One Glaring Omission is Roger Waters, MONEY.
MONEY is in the film, and over the closing credits, but not on the disc - THIS is the reason I would have bought the cd.
It's ingenuity sneaks up on you..........2005-01-23
The Italian Job was a score that really took me by surprise. I went to a local store, bought it, popped in my car cd player and listened on the ride home. At a first listen, I was a bit disappointed. For the most part, it seemed a bland, themeless series of percussion variations with minimal instrumentation layered on. I shelved the cd, not expecting to return. Then, a couple months later, I pulled it out again. Then I started noticing some of the ways Powell was doing things with the music very subtly, crafting an extremely cool, slick and well-developed score at a low volume. Often with action scores, the music is simple and bombastic, easy to recognize themes. This one is smarter and slicker than that, though. The Italian Job is a score that you will grow to appreciate and enjoy more with each listen. You will also find this to be the case in Powell's "paycheck" score as well as the two "bourne" scores. (The Bourne Identity especially takes time to appreciate, but partially because it actually does have genuine flaws.) I highly recommend this score, it's terrific, especially in the highlight track "A new plan". The only weakness is that the score dives into bloated action music in the final few tracks, it's entertaining, but not up to the subtle standard of the rest. A recommended purchase.

The City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra needs a guitar player!.......2006-11-09
Granted, they only need it for one composition (the last one, "The James Bond Theme") but still, without the guitar it's just not the same. Barry didn't compose this one so I suppose it was a bonus and I shouldn't complain, really. The rest of the music on all the CDs is fantastic. Some of the stuff I had heard before without realizing who had composed it. Very enjoyable, to say the least.
Persuaders Theme!.......2006-03-02
Buy it for the Persuaders theme, probably the best TV theme song ever written.
A Variety Of Classics!.......2005-12-06
John Barry has been composing film scores for over forty years and this is only scratching the surface of his productions. Never mind that the entire set is recorded by the Prague Philharmonic; it's pure to Barry's themes. While John Williams compositions ("Star Wars", etc.) are wild and flamboyant and Jerry Goldsmith's (Hoosier's, etc.) are mood pieces, John Barry crosses over all barriers and is amazingly diverse. Barry has recorded most of the exciting James Bond themes, melodramatic classics like "The Lion In Winter' and moody theme hits like "Midnight Cowboy". He also tugs at the heartstrings with compositions from, "Somewhere In Time", "Frances" and "Out Of Africa". He varies his themes for all types of films and few composers capture it so well.
There is over four hours of music in this set with a colorful and informative booklet.
Incredible Barry Collection.......2004-03-11
Any fan of movies will absolutley love this collection. Being a movie buff I couldn't wait to get this boxed set. Knowing Barry from all the James Bond movies, I did not realize his involvement with so many others. The orchestra is magnificent in all these themes. I'm listening to "High Road to China" right now and I'm drifting in the clouds in a Tiger Moth with Tom Selleck and Bess Armstrong. If you are familiar with a movie it will definitely have you seeing it again, if not the scores are still beautiful. Any fan of classical music will be pleased as well. Travellers will defintitely enjoy it for a long drive. I know from when I use to travel that music like this made the miles float by faster. I highly recommend these four CDs even if you just know a handful of the songs.

My First FIF Album.......2006-06-11
I borrowed this album off a friend who played a few tracks for me. I mostly hung around the opera bit which are hilarious! But then I started actualy listening to the songs. Every song on this album is fantastic! They are all in my favorites but this is my order.
#1 All That Is Good, it took time for this album to sink in as my favorite.
#2 Dandelions, this was my favorite but it got old after about 10,000 listens.
#3 Sweet Talkin Woman, brilliant cover of ELO's masterpiece
#4 The Untimely Death Of Brad, realy strange lyrics, and afterwards leavs you bewildered, the way i like it :-).
#5 One Girl Army - this is a good song, it's just overshadowed by Dandelions.
#6 Get Your Riot Gear - this track has a very swing style of music, i loved it at first but now is dated.
Amazing cd, why four stars? Well it's a shame that the number of tracks that actualy had effort put into them are few. but the opera, "When I Go Out," and the Kingdom of the Dinosours are Hilarious. This the perfect FIF newcomer album.
FIF rocks!.......2006-03-11
This is definitely their best album, so if you like ska or are intrigued with the idea, this is a great buy.
Best showcase of FIF's sound.......2005-09-03
It took Five Iron a while to figure out how to make good studio recordings, but I think this album is where they finally get it right. The energy and excitement from their live shows makes a strong showing on this album, with only a little studio degredation. Besides just being an excellent recording,some of FIF's best songs are on this album, namely One Girl Army, Dandelions, and Get Your Riot Gear. Overall, it's just an EP, but you get alot for your buck here: Good ska and a Christian band that gets it right. If you're new to FIF this is the place to start.
My favorite FiF cd!.......2005-01-07
I love everything on this CD.
My Evil Plan to Save the World: Great lyrics and great tune make this a instant hit. 9/10
All That is Good: I LOVE THIS SONG! It speaks so much to me. I love everything about it 10/10
Dandelions: Slower than the previous two tracks, but just as good. Great lyrics and tune make this track a winner. 9/10
One Girl Army: Another great song, the lyrical style changes dramatically once the chorus starts. 8/10
Sweet Talkin' Woman: A great Electric Light Orchestra cover. In my opinion, better than the original. 8/10
When I Go out: The first time you hear this song it will leave you confused. I had to listen to it a second time, and than I started laughing hysterically. 8/10
Get Your Riot Gear: LOVE the lyrics. The tone is very different than the rest of the cd. 9.5/10
The Untimely Death of Brad: A really good song with strange lyrics: 8/10
These Are Not My Pants(all versions): Really funny the first couple of listens, but gets old. 7/10
I love this cd. I try not to over listen it, but its so good!
I would recomend this CD to anyone who likes Five Iron Frenzy, or a first time listener.
Overall rating: 10/10
Impressed me all throughout the CD.......2004-10-01
I abslolutely love Five Iron Frenzy since their first cd ,Upbeats and Beatdowns, and they have always impressed me.. The only reason why I didn't give it more stars is because this one was only an EP and it had several good songs on it! The bassist I must say is also amazing and they have pulled it through all the way!

Great CD, Horrible Picks..........2006-04-29
This is a great movie with a GREAT soundtrack, and THE ABSOLUTE BEST let me say it again BEST TRACKS ARE LEFT OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The Shootout In Stacy's House, the part where Zorin picks up stacy and bond grabs on to the rope and goes for a ride over San Fransisco are just two examples of the great pieces. My advice...WAIT...yes...wait for the RE-REMASTERED version to come out(if they make one which I bet they will). If you are impatient then try to get one REALLY CHEAP.
Good, but missing important parts.......2005-10-21
In "A View to a Kill," Barry is in fine form, including many instances of the exciting themes we associate with 007 movies. To me, the highlight of the movie was tracks where Barry mixes traditional Bond thematic elements with tunes based upon the Duran Duran theme (such as the Wine with Stacy cut). However, the album to me and others is rather disappointing, as it is missing important parts of the score. Others have mentioned Bond's arrival at Zorin's estate, Stacey's arrvial, the Fanfare, and Bond dangling from the Zorin Airship. Personally, I was looking for the music from the State Office Building rooftop scene is my favorite cut from the movie, the main reason I bought the album, but that is also missing from the Soundtrack CD. I imagine if Capitol Records ever comes out with a more complete soundtrack album from this movie, there'd be a high demand for it from fans like myself, but don't hold your breath.
Great album...but it's missing a few pieces.......2005-09-29
A View to a Kill is a great score from the legendary John Barry, who has done pretty much all of the James Bond films up until 1989. I wish he'd come back and do the score to the next James Bond film. A few pieces of music are missing though from the movie, such as when Bond is attacked in Siberia and escapes but they never finish the music. Another piece missing is where Bond and Tibbett arrive at the Zorin's chateau in France. I think the most important piece that's missing is when Stacy gets taken by Zorin for a ride in the blimp and Bond hangs on to the rope going to the Golden Gate Bridge. The music that leads to the climax is always important! The best part of the album is that the music is very much James Bond and incorporates, at the time, a more modern theme to the music. Duran Duran's song is still awesome to this day and can still hold a candle to any crappy song out there today! Overall, a great job well done!
Great entry in the Bond scores...still mssing great tracks.......2003-05-13
While this score is one of Barry's greaat masterpieces, and is now even better remastered, it is still missing crucial tracks, like Bond's arrival at Zorin's estate, Stacey's arrvial, the Fanfare, and Bond dangling from the Zorin Airship. I hope in the near future, the albums will be released again with the missing tracks.
Wonderfully mastered, and one of Barry's Best Bond Scores.......2003-03-10
John Barry has written some of the most beautiful and memorable film music ever composed. He is most noted, however, for his work on the James Bond movies. Other composers have succeeded him, but none have duplicated the magic that he brings to the Bond films. Along with "On Her Majesty's Secret Service," this album is a seminal example of his work; it features some of the most exciting music written for the Bond films. The moment I heard the themes in the movie, I committed myself to finding the soundtrack on CD. I am disappointed that the score is not extended, but the included tracks do very well in representing the overall themes in the film. In addition, the remastered edition makes much better use of the surround channels. The Japanese import focused too much on the center channel. The new mix spreads the orchestra to the left and right, providing the effect of a much fuller sound. The sound is even detailed more. I took a chance and bought this soundtrack a second time in the hopes that the sound quality was improved. It is an understatement to say that I was not disappointed.

Don't Sleep on this.......2007-06-30
This is in response to those reviews that have been bashing this CD. Seriously, we must be listening to different records here. Let's get this straight...First off, this album is a classic. If your'e a true Quence fan than you will agree with me. Consequence has a different sound and brings back what real hip hop is supposed to sound like. For the Kanye Riders...let me give you a little bit of history. First off, I love Kanye, but Consequence doesn't sound like Kanye, it's the other way around. Ye sounds like Quence. Quence used to write for Ye...and yes they sound similar, but they are both hot. I met Quence a few times at some networking parties and at the hip hop festival, and he's the nicest guy. Real Humble.(Yo Quence this is DAVE aka J-RE)Give this cat a chance...He's trying to bring back authentic Hip Hop so let him do it, If you dont like this album, that's your opinion of course, but don't sleep on it, it definately is a hidden classic.
(3.5 Stars) Just A Little More Tweaking..........2007-06-26
We finally get the chance to hear a real album by Queens own Consequence, the same guy that was plastered all over A Tribe Called Quest's album Beats, Rhymes and Life featuring his cousin Q-Tip. Sure, he had a mixtape album back in 2004 called Take 'Em to the Cleaners that few even knew existed. But this was easily the best time for Consequence to come out with his album considering Kanye had to prove himself as a mega-producer, artist, and business man. Once the foundation was created and Kanye started up G.O.O.D. Music, everything was a go for Consequence (his momma named him Dexter Raymond Mills, Jr.) to release his first official album titled Don't Quit Your Day Job. Without question, the production on a majority of the album was on par, so it all really came down to Consequence to deliver on his rhymes. "Callin' Me" is an decent track, but doesn't come close to the overall sound of Don't Quit Your Day Job. "Job Song" focuses on Dexter's thoughts on doing something bigger and better with music once he gets through the whole 'getting by' phase in his life. "Don't Forget Em" is easygoing song, stressing the importance of embracing your past and remembering what got you where you are today. "Uptown" has a good bounce to it, the respectable "The Good, The Bad, The Ugly" features mentor Kanye West, and the laid back "Feel This Way" features John Legend in rare form. "Disperse" is another standout cut that features Gangsta L Crisis (better known as GLC) and Really Doe, while "Who Knew My Luck Would Change" speaks to his thoughts that his career in music was bleak and nobody would ever check for him after all these years. There are some flaws on this album however like the strange "Night Night," the unconvincing hardness of "Uncle Raheim," and the over-the-top production on "Grammy Family" with DJ Khaled, Kanye West, and John Legend. Consequence still show his worth with Don't Quit Your Day Job, and that's what matters when it comes to longevity in the rap business.
Thanks For Quitting Your Day Job.......2007-06-23
Consequence's "Don't Quit Your Day Job" is by no means a classic, but it is one of the few hip-hop albums that I have thoroughly enjoyed so far this year. The beats are not mind-blowing or complex, but they are catchy and they suit Consequence's delivery very well. The lyrics are honest, fresh, and not gimmicky. There are several great songs on here, though the few average tracks keep this from being a 5-star review.
"Job Song" is a great introduction to the album, setting the stage for what the rest of the album will be like. "Don't Forget Em," a song about not shunning your roots after hitting it big, is one of the strongest tracks on the album and likewise was made a single. Production like the one on this song is what makes me appreciate this style of hip-hop, best represented by feel-good beats with an old school style.
"Uptown" is easy to listen to with its simple beat. Kanye West makes an appearance on the standout "The Good, The Bad, The Ugly." Consequence's flow is outstanding on this track. "Night Night" is a filler track that doesn't do anything for me. The next song, "Pretty Little Sexy Mama" is mellow and a little better.
The next three tracks are average to slightly above average, but nothing catches my ear. The album picks up again with the swagger of "Grammy Family," with Consequence again showing his ability to rap smoothly over a big-time beat.
The album ends with the mellow and soulful "Who Knew My Luck Would Change," one of my favorites on the CD. Consequence's lyrics tell an honest story about his path to where he is now. Overall, this is a very good, possibly under appreciated album for 2007.
Sick Flow, Tight Beats, What more could you want?.......2007-05-19
This is a hot CD. Quence's flow is straight ill. All the production is top notch. The album tells a story, which I absolutely love. If you're looking for hip hop with more content than artists like MIMS and Rich Boy, check this out. This IS what hip hop is about. Well worth buying.
Dissapointment.......2007-05-14
I thought for sure Kanye West would give this the same time and hard work that he gave Common's BE. I was wrong.
The good the bad and the ugly has been out for 4 years already. Pay for the flight wasn't even on this CD. What a dissapointment! Grammy Family? Please! That was released last year already! Cons, do you think we are stupid? C'mon, man!

Undervalued.......2007-04-10
Like a lots of things in life, it's only with the passing of time that you learn to really appreciate things. Bid Daddy Kane had the misfortune to be in his prime in the Golden age of Hip Hop, with the likes of Rakim, LL Cool J, KRS-One, Kool G Rap, as his peers. Oh for a BDK now. This was his last release for Cold Chillin', and after this time, he was M.I.A. But what a CD to sign off with. This CD, too my mind, also highlights his weakness, wanting to a rapping about love, when most of his fans wanted him to be hardcore (listen to the `Prelude', where the great man addresses the situation himself) This CD is very hit & miss, but it showcases a man at the peak of his abilities. The lead single was this CD was' How U get a record deal'; with a very catchy video (check out you tube!) One of the highlights of this CD is' The Beef is on' which I can only describe as RUFF, true vintage Kane, in gangster mode. .'Stop Shammin' deals with the fakeness in the hip hop music industry (still relevant today!), whilst his dancers, Scoob & Scrap get on the mic on the afore mentioned `Here comes Kane, Scoob & Scrap'. Any fan of BDK should have this in their collection, and witness a true hip-hop GREAT.
Looks Like a Job For......One of the best of all time!!.......2007-04-03
You ask most real hiphop fans to name the best that did it on the mic and alot of the time you'll hear Kane being mentioned amongst the list. His rapid fire delivery added to his witty lyricism and his overall charisma over the ill beats captivated heads from the second he gripped the mic. After releaseing classics such as "Long Live The Kane" and "Its A Big Daddy Thing" and 2 alright follow ups he resurfaced with this awesome album. From the opening title track to the smooth outro it bumps along nicely with a great mixture of his masterful wordplay, ill metaphors ("my rhymes are like spandex, they make any a** seem good")and smooth tracks like "Very Special" and "Give It To Me". The highlights for me were when Kane ripped tracks apart with fierce flows on tracks like "Looks Like A Job For...", "How U Get A Record Deal?", "Chocolate City", "Rest In Peace", "Ni**az Never Learn" and "Nuff Respect(remix)". 2 other standouts were the brilliant story orientated "The Beef Is On" and the message filled "Stop Shammin'". Another plus for this album was the versatile, hard, bass heavy production from Easy Moe Dee, Trackmasterz (before the went mainstream) and Kane himself. The only 2 weak tracks in my opinion were "Brother Man,Brother Man" and "Very Special", other than that its excellent, even if its sounds alittle bit dated at times.

Two old albums of some of the best early Newgrass!.......2003-01-24
Hippie-era newgrass doesn't get more genial or good-natured than this lively outfit, which featured banjo whiz Alan Munde, fiddler Byron Berline, bassist Rober Bush and singer Kenny Wertz, along with an amorphous cast of high-powered pals such as Clarence White, Herb Pedersen and Al Perkins. The band was an on-again, off-again project that got squeezed in between the demands that various bands such as the Dillards, Byrds and Flying Burrito Brothers placed on the Gazette members... Although lumped in with the whole early-'70s country-rock scene, Country Gazette were clearly more traditionally and bluegrass oriented in musical terms, even if their song selection ranged from the Louvin Brothers and Flatt & Scruggs to Steven Stills and Elton John. Fortunately for us, they managed to eke out these two fine major-label albums, which radiate a keen sense of humor, a flair for showmanship and a profound understanding of musical history which keeps these recordings sounding fresh as can be, decades down the line. A nice prelude to their later indie-label works... highly recommended!
Good blugrass always holds up........2002-11-08
When I was a high school kid in the mid-70s I hung out at this little acoustic instrument shop in Phoenix called "Mike's Music." Mike was a bluegrass-addicted picker with dreams of owning a music store. As store managers went, Mike was a great musician. The store didn't last long but while it did, I knew I could drive over there, play the Martins on the wall and listen to some great bluegrass music emanating from the stereo.
Mike had a real attraction to these two albums by Country Gazette. They were where I first became aware of that amazing fiddler Byron Berline, and although nearly 25 years went by between hearing these albums in Mike's music store and getting them on CD, I found that they'd lost none of their punch.
"Traitor" is my favorite of the two LPs here. The songs just seem to have a better flow with each other, but the playing on both albums is stellar.
Favorites include "Lost Indian," "I Wish You Knew," "Sound of Goodbye," and their interesting take on Elton John's "Honky Cat."
But it's all good. I've lost track of Mike, but a lot of the music he shared with me is on this CD. If you're the kind who likes to sit around pickin' on a Saturday afternoon, this is definitely a CD you should check out.
Byron and Alan -- absolute monsters!.......1999-09-01
Sure, the two albums are a little too California for the majority of most east coast bluegrassers, but if you grew up listening to the (original) Dillards, Kentucky Colonels, and Vern & Ray, then you'll understand what drives this band. Alan Munde is just a monster -- absolutely rock solid, with licks that banjoists then, and banjoists now, can only dream of nailing. And playing off him is Byron's fiddling (with hands like hams, how the heck can he play such intricate double and triple stops?). Two of the best 70's bluegrass albums on the same CD. How CAN you lose??
