The original child show theme is given treatment like no ear has ever heard and St. James handles it wonderfully.
I never imagined in a million years it could be pulled off as hard rock song but Rebecca does it.
While younger fans of the show might not be able to digest the harder rocking tracks, there's plenty of fun to be had with this project and let's hope to see another installment sometime soon.

 Harumph!: The new Elliott Smith album rocks   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
Anyway, the album was essentially all recorded but wasn't mixed and mastered and all that other business.
Somehow though, versions of the album were leaked and as a consequence, his die-hard (no pun intended) fans began severely criticizing the pirates and filetraders who began downloading the album, accusing them of being graverobbers who were desecrating his name and disrespecting his legacy and the wishes of his family.
Arguing about whether or not to download an album of amazing material from one of the most talented artists of our generation is just a scapegoat to distract from whether or not the album should have been released in the first place.

 Company of Wolves
The first album uniting the talents of Kyf Brewer, Steve Conte and John Conte (Crown Jewels & The Contes) was seen as a "Heavy Metal" album back in 1990 when in fact it is just a strong rock album.
To this day, even though their subsequent releases were stronger, this album rocks hard and never stops.
The Wolves were signed to Mercury/Polygram in the same year, and produced three AOR charting singles, (Call of the Wild, The Distance, Hangin¹ By a Thread), with their eponymous debut release in 1990.

ROCK star Fish has been going power crazy in his East Lothian home after a series of electricity cuts held up the recording of his new album.
The 45-year-old star says on the worst day his farmhouse studio suffered 47 separate power cuts, and over the past fortnight he has had to send home backing musicians and even lost vital recorded material when the cuts caused his computer equipment to crash.
Fish said: "We’re working on the new album which is due to come out at the end of September.

It is seven years' worth of mostly very high-charting -- and all influential and important -- songs, leaving out some singles in favor of well-known album tracks, and in the process, giving an overview not just of the Rolling Stones' hits but of their evolving image.
This is noticeable on the standard CD layer but is considerably more pronounced on the SACD layer, which is shockingly realistic in its detail and presence yet is still faithful to the original mixes; Keith Richards' revved-up acoustic guitar on "Street Fighting Man" still sends the machine into overdrive, for instance.
The only Beatles album to occasion negative, even hostile reviews, there are few other rock records as controversial as Let It Be.

 User Comments for Contraband by Velvet Revolver
What interest me most about this album is not the hard melodic riffs in "Headspace", or the future #1 ballads to come, it is the PURE potential that this band has.
This album represents a rebirth of the mainstream rock.
An aurally interesting album, that lets you hear not only how these guys have come together as a stomping rock band, but also the influence they had on the sound of their previous bands.

 WTVI42 - Features - John Tesh's Worship at Red Rocks   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
Description: It was nearly a decade ago when "Entertainment Tonight" co-host John Tesh bolstered his recording career with the Gold-certified Live at Red Rocks album and its accompanying PBS special.
Half of this album is Michael W. Smith's Worship project, and while the arrangements aren't exact recreations of Smitty's platinum-selling success, they're similar enough to generate far too many instances of déjà vu.
The album fares better with two studio recorded originals: the energetic "Voice of One," featuring rich piano and jazzy vocal harmonies, and "Always Forever," which is much smoother than the live version that precedes it on this disc.

Guitarist Joe Perry wanted Aerosmith's third album, "Toys In The Attic", to be called "Rocks", but he was out-voted, and that title had to wait a year before being applied to this great collection of bluesy hard rock.
Many people consider "Rocks" to be Aerosmith's greatest album, and while that is debatable ("Toys" is at least as good), it does feture some of the band's best and most consistent songwriting.
This album shows Aerosmith at a frightening creative peak, they created what is possibly the hardest-hitting, funkiest, and goddamn badass album around.

The album is entitled "Being Out Rocks" and features a cross-section of GLBT and straight artists committed to openness and honesty.
A total of 21 artists donated songs to the album, which was produced by Centaur Entertainment, a record label based in New York that specializes in producing benefit albums.
HRC chose the theme "Being Out Rocks" for this year's National Coming Out Day as a way to recognize the many openly gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender popular musicians performing today, as well as those who are not gay but are publicly supportive.

This album explodes at you from the get go with the title track and then phonically mesmerizes you with the rest of it's intelligent, catchy song writing and tight, funky rock and roll.
The album is non-stop fun, with fantastic songwriting: I doubt you'll be able to get the lyrics of "Zed" out of your head for hours after you've heard it.
Their sound is all their own, a completely fresh take on rock to my ears, which makes the album a jewel of a CD to own.

But Rocks captures Aerosmith at a crazily driven peak of creativity; anyone who heard it and continued to dismiss them as mere Stones clones was just being willful.
This is blues rock cranked up to '70s stadium level, the sound of the Trans Am, or maybe the Porsches several of these guys (surprisingly) remember driving.
Although I love all the seventies albums (If I could I would go beyond fifty stars on the first four) but ROCKS is an early metal classic, in a class of it's own.

 New Gibraltar Encyclopedia of Progressive Rock CE-CM
It's a jazz record overall, but it has lots of rock sensibility, mainly due to the fact that most of the electric bass playing on the album is done by Brian Belshaw from BB Blunder, and as a rock bassist he could only go so far into the jazz idiom.
This album rocks a lot more than their first, in fact a couple of the songs, "Mon Ami Pierrot" and "Silent Fairy Dance" are so bombastic, I would almost call them Arena Rock.
The album is at its best in guitarist Tohru Ohta's two compositions, the 19-minute "Color of Soul", where guitar and keyboards give a truly symphonic treatment to strong, at times Asian-flavoured themes, and the lush, classically-influenced "A Dayfly and a Sunflower" with an elegant string arrangement and beautiful high-register vocalise from Hiromi Fujimoto.

 Steve Burns: Songs for Dustmites: Pitchfork Review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
Let's go ahead and get this part over with: Yes, this is the debut album by the guy who, along with the titular blue dog, used to host Blue's Clues, the insanely popular children's show on Nickelodeon.
The indie A-list backing hasn't made much of a dent in the guy's street cred, though-- it seems everyone's been gunning for the guy to fall flat on his face.
But while Drozd and Fridmann's influence is undeniable from the start (they're clearly responsible for a good deal of the album's sparkle), Burns' lyrical insight and gift for writing and arranging endlessly listenable pop songs consistently manages to steal the show.

 Various Artists - Being Out Rocks | Album Review @ Music-Critic.com : the source for music reviews, interviews, ...
Being Out Rocks is an assemblage that is novel in concept as it is on the Centaur record label - who are best known for their dance collections - as the CD harks upon an eclectic mix of folk, pop and one-time alternative icons.
A gorgeously mournful vocal from the late Freddie Mercury on Queen's "Is This The World We Created (also live) is another reminder that Mercury had the most powerful and almost operatic range in rock.
Being Out Rocks may seem like and odd mix of talent and genres, but the end result adds up to the truly unique and diverse assemblage that must have been the compiler's goal.

 Aerosmith : Rocks - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
Few albums have been so appropriately named as Aerosmith's 1976 classic Rocks.
Despite hard drug use escalating among bandmembers, Aerosmith produced a superb follow-up to their masterwork Toys in the Attic, nearly topping it in the process.
Many Aero fans will point to Toys as the band's quintessential album (it contained two radio/concert standards after all, "Walk This Way" and "Sweet Emotion"), but out of all their albums, Rocks did the best job of capturing Aerosmith at their most raw and rocking.

An anthology is an album of tracks all by the same artist, but put together from several other albums or sources.
This is not always the publication year as some live albums or anthologies can have a different year on each track, and some albums are re-issues of recordings made many years earlier.

 Dave Matthews Band - Live at Red Rocks - (Album Commentary via proudestmonkeys.com)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
The Dave Matthews Band truly outdoes itself on its most recent release, "Live at Red Rocks," a live compilation of some of its greatest music, recorded in August of 1995.
The album features songs familiar to fans of "Under the Table and Dreaming..." and "Crash," plus a few old favorites for loyal fans who have followed the band beyond their mainstream success.
"Seek Up," the first track of the two-disc album, not included on either of the mainstream albums, is an excellent thirteen-minute introduction into this set, which features fresh takes on songs with which we are all now familiar.

 In Music We Trust - Weezer: Maladroit
Their second self titled album, the "Green album", was put out in 2001, so everyone has been amazed at the prolific nature of these four men.
I sat through their pop status with the "Blue album" (their first self-titled one, in 1994) and saw them drop off the face of the earth after the now-cult-status Pinkerton of 1996.
Originally ensconced in scandal after Weezer continually released new mixes of the album on their website prior to its release, it's surprising to me that Maladroit actually did hit the shelves earlier this year.

 Tower Records - Rocks - Aerosmith   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
One of the reasons why Aerosmith, after a number of creatively lean years, are still given legendary credence and an eager ear with each new release, Rocks encapsulated the very essence of rock 'n' roll.
They may have been the target of detractors who still pinned them as nothing more than a poor man's Rolling Stones, but Rocks pioneered a strength and swagger and real depth that remains very nearly unsurpassed.
From the slowly escalating 'Back In The Saddle' to the dying strains of 'Home Tonight', this album held the full spirit and soul of Aerosmith in both hands.

The beauty of Schoolhouse Rock in its original Saturday morning run (1973-85) was that kids watching couldn't tell whether the catchy three-minute cartoon jingles were meant to be commercials, shows, or something else entirely.
This CD takes some of the best SHR songs from the 70s and puts them in the hands of trendy 90s rock bands; the resulting songs are frequently very different from the originals yet still a lot of fun.
It is a tribute album, not a reworking of old songs.

 FRESH VITALITY ROCKS SOUNDGARDEN ALBUM   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
On its new album, Soundgarden comes barreling out, rocking with a fresh vitality that was largely lost on the anthemic ``Superunknown.'' Echoing the band's high-energy early influences, ``Down on the Upside'' bridges that gap between the Free Love Era's pop psychedelia and the mid-'70s' testosterone-driven rock.
In fact, ``Down on the Upside'' reveals a trunkful of surprises, the least of which is that Soundgarden has found a way to reinvent itself once again.
But where Henry's last two albums were folk fests with a strain of country twang, ``Trampoline'' bears the earmarks of someone who's been listening to '60s psychedelia and avant-garde classical music.
