 Freeway - Philadelphia Freeway
The majority of the album is produced by two of the biggest producers in hip hop at the moment;
The second release from his album, 'What we do', is a distinctive Kanye West beat, and sees Freeway outshine his mentors, Jay-Z and Beanie Sigel, with his witty delivery and reminiscent talk of the drug-trade which is a dominant theme on the album.
Don't get me wrong, whilst Freeway has been able to use his unique skills, distinctive flow and powerful voice to deliver messages about the hood, his life and struggles, the album can often seem as though it's going in one direction.

 Philadelphia Freeway
Based on Freeway’s introduction to the rap world (a verse on "1-900-Hustler" from Jay-Z’s The Dynasty, where he provides a tutorial on how to deal drugs effectively), it’s a challenge not to think that he’s just another in a long line of "devout" MCs who debauch with the best of them.
Freeway are a typical MC for the streets.
Freeway doesn't give a d**m about structure, and everything doesn't even rhyme, but still is sounds amazingly tight.

In terms of the album, this is a ROCK album that departs from MWH synth-based roots.
Then with their "The Adventures of Women and Men Without Hate in the 21st Century" album, they started to lose me. I dug a couple of songs off it, though I was on the fence about the entire album and eventually just decided to trade it in for credit at a record store.
I wasn't blown away with the album the first time I heard it, however I knew from that first listen that it was an album that would grow on me very quickly and that I would end up really loving it.

 Bachman-Turner Overdrive : Freeways - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
Freeways was the final Randy Bachman album of the first BTO era, released in 1977 after their first of many "greatest-hits" collections put much of their chart activity in a tidy package on 1976's Best of B.T.O. (So Far).
The price for Freeways fluctuates on Ebay and Half.com, making the album one of the more collectible of the post-hit BTO era.
Everything flows nice enough, resulting in a consistent and easy-to-listen-to batch of songs; it's just that what's missing is the antagonism, the push and pull of Bachman's partnership with a Burton Cummings or someone else to vent his frustrations on -- the thing that makes for more interesting material.

 CANOE -- JAM! Music - Pop Encyclopedia - Bachman, Randy
The album was pushed all the way to Top-10 by the driving force of the bubbling under "Let It Ride" and the monster hit "Takin' Care of Business".
By the fourth album, 'Four Wheel Drive' BTO were international superstars and this album too proved to be a monster, peaking at #5 on Billboard, becoming certified platinum, and providing another catchy radio anthem in "Hey You".
After two albums on Scotti Brothers as Ironhorse, Randy Bachman called up his old BTO and Bravebelt buddy Fred Turner to augment the existing three piece of Bachman, Leighton and Ludwig.

 Death Cab for Cutie: Transatlanticism - PopMatters Music Review
Listening to Death Cab for Cutie's newest album, Transatlanticism, somehow evokes the sensations of all the seasons: the icy stillness of winter, the frostiness of early spring mornings, summer's heavy night air, and the first smell of cold.
This album, which hits stores on the 7th of October, encompasses all the beauty and change that goes along with the death and birth of each season.
This album is a beautiful trek through time that pays tribute to the human condition with simple melodies and honest storytelling, a nearly perfect pop record.

 CSIndy: Playlist (August 9 - August 15, 2001)
His new album solidly reaffirms his strength as a songwriter, fusing time and sensibilities from some 35 years of cultural evolution.
The title track is a stirring mix of folk guitar and harmonica with historical samplings hearkening back to a time when the passion fit the song, and it aptly sets the tone for the rest of the journey.
Freeways is a refreshing 13-track rundown of L.A.'s finest young, unknown, unsigned masters and mistresses of beat.

 bachman-turner-overdrive Mp3 Albums Review
With this album, the band created an album that was both excellent and well-received by the public.
This album captures the band in their short-lived prime, at the end of the Brave Belt era but before the beginning of the BTO popularity era.
Their first album is easily their best, starting off right away with "Gimme Your Money Please", a tune sure to please with the heavy guitar riffs and snarling vocals of C F Turner.

 Guardian | The mousetrap
His Grey Album, an unauthorised remix of Jay Z's recent Black Album and the Beatles' White Album, attracted a cease-and-desist order from EMI on behalf of the Beatles.
While Burton has stopped distributing or selling the album, he didn't count on the legions of music downloaders and defenders of free speech who have taken up his cause.
Their chosen weapon, a day of internet protests with more than 200 websites offering downloads of the album, has in turn led to another cease-and-desist letter, this time aimed at Downhillbattle.org, organisers of the Grey Tuesday protest.

The thing that really got to me is that there are certain parts on certain freeways in Los Angeles that only have two lanes, and yet the speed limit there is 65.
Jay Z and his label released an a capella version of his album, basically inviting people to remix it at will.
Basically, the site is trying to get people to post the entire album on their sites on February 24, as well as make their website as grey as possible for 24 hours.

 William Parker Quartet - Raining on the Moon - Review - Stylus Magazine
The thing that struck me immediately was the tightness and proficiency of the playing, which isn’t very surprising, considering Parker has been on the free jazz scene since the ‘70s.
They are definitely a highlight of the album, rich and earth-toned, delivered in a fashion unconventional by most standards I’m familiar with yet entirely appropriate to the music.
It has the feel of an album that is certain to grow on me with time; or perhaps more appropriately, it is an album that I will grow into with time.

 RJD2 - Deadringer - Review - Stylus Magazine
The results are nearly always at the very least interesting, and quite frequently spectacular; in spite of this, I have found that I’m not always in the mood for an entire album worth of Def Jux grit.
RJD2 infuses the album with some wonderful production flourishes, but the majority of the songs do little to blow you away with their sheer innovation.
Taken for what it is- a fine, highly musical, highly entertaining album of superbly crafted beats- Deadringer is one of the better pieces of music to come out this year and is a must-have for any self-professed beat head.

 Death Cab For Cutie - The Photo Album (Barsuk) - Drawer B Review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
The sound of the album is more organic, focusing on rawer emotions while ignoring the temptation to cave into precision music making.
And consequently, Barsuk and the band appear to be pinning a good bit of hope on this album’s mainstream success, making it the subject of an intense media and promotional blitz (there is even a full-on installation for Death Cab For Cutie at the seven-story Tower Records in Tokyo, Japan).
But the good news for fans of the band’s early style is that it has managed to retain its essence, while casting away that which might have stood in the way of broader acceptance.

These albums were definitely strange considering their source.
It is an interesting album in its variety and style; it featured multiple vocalists on most tracks, as well as the dual guitars that were to make the band famous.
Their first album is actually surprisingly good, despite the fact that the lead singer, Tom Sparks, and the other members were essentially unknowns at the time.

For this album, the brothers Doroschuk used some classic synths like the Prophet 5 and the Yamaha CS-50 that were used on their first album, Rhythm of Youth.
The album was recorded completely in digital on a Pro Tools system at Stefan's Big Mountain Studio up in the Laurentian mountains of Quebec, he engineered and produced the opus.
During the US tour in support of that album, in the early spring of 1988, Ivan began writing some of the songs for "...In The 21st Century," which was recorded at The Hit Factory in New York with Stefan Doroschuk as the sole producer and Mike Scott as engineer.

They are euphemistically considering "deconstructing" the 3/4 mile "freeway", but they are not considering: a) future arterial traffic growth demands; b) related expansion along Canal Road to the northwest, or c) streamlined access to K Street and I-66 to the southeast.
The one historic jewel worth preserving at the western terminus of the Whitehurst Freeway are the remnants of the C&O canal bridge which allowed barges to be towed across the Potomac River (without touching it!) to the Virginia port of Alexandria in the 1700's.
This freeway is an essential, but aesthetically-challenged, bypass for M Street between Canal Road and K Street which some city planners want to eliminate.

 Linda Ronstadt Album Review / Living in the USA
Linda Ronstadt's voice is the star of Living in the U.S.A., and her pure, round Aphex Aurally Excited tones are at the center of every track on the album.
The glides from resonant chest voice into her thinner high notes are ski-slope smooth; she's learned to rough up the rockers and has expanded her range into the lower register.
When she sings old-fashioned songs, she can turn the most cantankerous soul into a saucer-eyed Pollyanna, but the minute she confronts a more complicated message, she turns and runs backwards.

"Parallel Universe" is the second album by the groundbreaking band Leiahdorus, presenting a perfect evolution from their debut album.
The music is always changing, taking the listener on twists and turns through the unexpected, touching on different emotions, and in the end it leaves you wanting more.

 CANOE -- JAM! Music - Pop Encyclopedia - Ironhorse
After leaving his own band, Bachman Turner Overdrive, following the 1977 album 'Freeways' and its resulting failure, Randy Bachman recorded a solo album for Polydor in 1978.
Internal upheavals at the record label caused Bachman to beg out of his deal and he instead approached friends of his, the Scotti Brothers, who had just formed their own label.
With the change in direction and failure of the 1980 follow-up album 'Everything Is Grey', the band parted ways with Scotti Brothers.

Steal This Album generally avoids two of the most unfortunate aspects of much current rap music: the romanticizing of daily violence and the glorification of making lots of money that too often passes for revolutionary thought today.
