  American Beauty (album) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The mostly-acoustic album is beloved by fans as perhaps the highest-quality studio recording by the band (along with Workingman's Dead), who are known primarily for their live shows.
Both albums were extremely innovative at the time for their fusion of bluegrass, rock and roll, folk music and, especially, country music.
The influence of American Beauty and its country-rock fusion may be seen in The Flying Burrito Brothers' self-titled 1971 album, in The Allman Brothers Band's 1972 Eat a Peach.

 Beauty and the Beat - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Beauty and the Beat is the debut album from Californian pop punk all-women band The Go-Go's.
Released in 1981 (see 1981 in music), the album was preceded by the single "We Got the Beat", which became a massive club hit in Europe and, later, the United States.
When the album was finally released, it topped the Billboard Music Charts for six weeks, and sold in excess of two millions copies, making it one of the biggest surprise hit albums of all time.

 Beauty (album) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Beauty is a tape cassette of music released by Jeff Mangum under the Neutral Milk Hotel name in 1992.
The first five tracks of the tape are acoustic recordings, and feature Engine, which would later find official release on the Holland, 1945 7", and Gardenhead/Leave Me Alone, which would feature on On Avery Island, as well as the live favourite Sailing Through.
Someone Is Waiting, a noisy feedback-drenched drone, later appeared on On Avery Island, whilst Bucket, one of the first songs the band recorded in a full recording studio (which Mangum was not entirely happy with[1]) was played live on several occasions, and featured on 'Periscope: Another Yoyo Compilation' in the same format.

 The Darker Side of Jaci Velasquez   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
This album is supposed to have strong British leanings as Jaci recorded in London with producer Martin Terefe who’s worked with The Flaming Lips and Coldplay.
Beauty Has Grace is a Top 40 mess of bland rock’n’roll and far beneath the talents of this once nearly flawless artist.
It’s one of the few songs on the album that is strong musically, but it’s at the sacrifice of Jaci’s vocal presence.

 Wendy Carlos, WC's BitB Notes
Beauty in the Beast is Carlos's magnum opus, an album that should have established the synthesizer's role in the new global music landscape.
Beauty in the Beast is an essential recording of both modern composition and synthesis--Carlos should plug into this circuit again.
Beauty in the Beast is Carlos' "world music" album, featuring explorations of exotic instruments and sounds from Tibet, Bali and Bulgaria, among others.

 Superchick: 'Beauty from Pain'
Not for the faint at heart, this album unleashes an array of reckless rock theme songs to pull you through any dark time to the light on the other side.
On this album, Tricia’s vocals on the title track are unmistakably cool with strokes of innocence marred by tribulation.
Beauty from Pain takes breaks from the heartache to get back to the root of their music ministry, which is addressing the deeper issues of adolescence.

 Jesusfreakhideout.com: Superchick, "Beauty From Pain" CD Review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
So, opening Beauty From Pain is "Anthem," a strong pop/punk song that takes a stand for girls with their own goals in the world and does the said job extremely well.
The album ends with "We Live," an upbeat pop/rap song that focuses on the lessons and love that can come out of tragedies that we face if we don't give up.
From the first listens of the long delayed album, one might wonder if the slight over-polishing of the album's sound is what kept pushing its release date back.

 CMCentral.com > RealMusic. RealArtists. RealLife.
Most of the songs on the album deal with difficult circumstances that we find ourselves in at times.
However, despite the number of solid fast-paced songs, it is the haunting ballad found in the title track that anchors the album to a sobering reality.
Beauty From Pain, while a notably short release at just over thirty five minutes, proves to be one of the year's most impressive releases thus far.

 SoundtrackNet : American Beauty (Score)
In what has to be wonderful timing, Dreamworks Records is releasing a score album in January - just in time for all the voters to check it out separate from the film.
A unique film, American Beauty showed us the darker side of suburbia, and that not all is how it seems.
Running about 37 minutes long, this album really didn't need to be any longer - it was quite enjoyable as is. American Beauty looks like it might do rather well at the Golden Globes, and come Oscar time, I'm sure it will do rather well then as well.

 Jesusfreakhideout.com: Jaci Velasquez, "Beauty Has Grace" Review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
"Something Beautiful" is another album highlight, beginning as somewhat of a ballad before the chorus breaks out a bold electric guitar riff and crisp live drums that give the song a tasty pop/rock feel.
Beauty Has Grace is a risky and bold stylistic shift for Jaci Velasquez.
Regardless, Beauty Has Grace is an intelligent and welcomed change for Velasquez and one that certainly makes me want to watch what this girl will be up to from now on much more closely.

 Eyeball Kid - Ilya - They died for Beauty - Album Review
Ilya hark back to a less complex time with an album of finely crafted music that uses their city's familiar dub and downbeat template to retrace the definite standards of the past.
Beauty is as valid in a lurid sunset radiating through the urban chemical smog as it is in the complex musical arrangements of a song like 'Bellissimo'.
This is reflected in modern music where Beauty is found in the harsh glitches of the Aphex Twin or the tumultuous buzz of feedback of Spiritualized.

 The Guide -- DAR Williams ‘Beauty’ Drizzles Down
With four studio albums and one live release under her belt, Dar Williams finally lands on a consistently mature plane with The Beauty of the Rain.
Williams is known best in the folk/coffeehouse circuit, but with The Beauty of the Rain’s catchy melodies, well-used guest artists and beautiful production, she may finally have tapped into a mass-market audience.
Her melodies are beautiful and her words are exquisite, but those who shy away from female singer-songwriters will probably not be won over by this album.

The album begins with the introduction track 'Polite Meeting' which is a mixture of funky samples and break beats with imaginative scratching.
This song is a beautiful epilogue to the music which he loves which now with mainstream hip-hop dominating seems dead.
This is a fresh, funky, inspiring album which sadly, like alot of good albums will not be heard by the masses.

"Dying Beauty" is one of the more popular songs from James D Stark's debut album, "Fortress of Solitude" and now the song has been remixed several times to appeal to different tastes and give the track some club life.

This is in stark contrast to its album cover which indicates joy and peace and all the elements which were stretched beyond endurance in the 1970's.
With the exception of the opening cut, a free-spirited and wildly fun "La Danse Du Bonheur", this album features dense compositions which provoke deep re-appraisels of one's own life.
This album should be played relatively loud, late at night, lights-off, with a cup of tea.

Sublimely beautiful, exquisite rhythms, gorgeous melodies, breathtaking lyrics (eg: "This is where the shadows come to play twixt the day and night, dancing and skipping along a chink of light") and deeply moving.
This album is a masterpiece of exquisite depth, complexity and surreal beauty.

 Shakti : A Handful of Beauty - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
Shakti headed for the safer confines of a London recording studio on its second album, minus R. Raghavan and minus some of the volatile energy that they generated on their debut record.
They were, however, a more integrated, more subtle ensemble now, exploring quieter, more lyrical corners of their East-West fusion, with L. Shankar's spectacular violin and Zakir Hussain's tabla taking the solo foreground as much as, if not more than, McLaughlin's acoustic guitar.
As a whole, this is less accessible to McLaughlin's jazz-rock flock than the first Shakti album, but still fascinating for contemporary listeners with a yen for world music, as well as curious stragglers from the classical Indian world dominated by Ravi Shankar (another indefatigable champion of East-West fusions).

I bought the first album (Toybox) and as soon as I'd heard it a couple of times I was thinking "POD junior", except not nearly as talented.
I thought their 1st album was better than the 2nd, but they definitely avoided the sophomore jinx.
I own both Satellite and The Beauty of the Unknown, and I have never thought once that Justifide is copying POD.

 BBC - collective - Ilya They Died for Beauty Album Review
I suppose you could class this is a trip-hop album but that really only tells about the albums undertones and its laid back dancy beats.
However listening to the rest of the album makes it clear this is not your average trip-hop album and is really something rather special.
This is definitely an album to relax to, on Bellissimo the sumptuous velvety smooth vocals of Joanna Swan float away over the mellow brass and woodwind overtones.

 CD Baby: THE PAPERBOYS: Dilapidated Beauty - from aaroncd
Reminiscent of early Elton John and Van Morrison, the album features one disc of Eagles-laced alt-country, and another of Tower of Power horns and gospel choirs.
For this tenured band, Dilapidated Beauty is as much a departure as it is a homecoming.
Whereas any album with a hook can entertain for a little while and then be forgotten, Dilapidated Beauty will stay with you.

 Jazz News: Issi Rozen Quartet Takes Flight On New Jazz Album 'Dark Beauty'
The new album with quartet members Gilad Barkan on piano, Harvey Wirht on drums, and Thomson Kneeland on acoustic bass is undeniably his strongest to date.
Dark Beauty is an album made for the 3 AM of your soul, when a sense of comforting warmth mixes with unsettling wistfulness.
The playing is intense and melodic at the same time.” Other strengths of the album include the use of Middle Eastern tonalities in the context of jazz and how variations on Latin rhythms are employed.

 Edan: Beauty and the Beat: Pitchfork Review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
On the latter half of the album, "Beauty", "Smile", and "Promised Land" are three sample-packed masterpieces that compress the time between '68 and '88.
The gravity of Edan's lyrics and voice on Beauty and the Beat is perhaps its most surprising element.
Beauty and the Beat sounds like a record made by someone who once devoured the catalog and history of his favorite artists, traced their lineage as far back as he could, and has discovered his place in the genealogy.

The Beauty of the Beast is a well-produced and enjoyable album.
As long as the featured artists can learn to write their lyrics to be as finely tuned as Greystone's beats, then watch for them to start making some ripples.
