The Beatles: the White Album ~ The Beatles
The companion piece to the 1962-1966 singles compilation, this set (often called "the blue album", as opposed to its chronological predecessor "the red album"), brings together the Beatles best known songs from 1967 through 1970.

The Blue Album is more subtly beats-based than its predecessors; it has lengthy, almost classical sequences, and dark textures that are hard work at first but gradually reveal a haunting depth and beauty.
The Blue Album may confuse some of the Hartnolls' more pop-oriented fans, but it suggests that the pair might be better off turning out film soundtracks as a career than jacking it in altogether.
The blue album is in my opinion the best weezer album due to it having 'only in dreams', their powerfullest song and an awesome tribute to rock itself.

 The Music Box: Weezer - Weezer (The Blue Album) [Deluxe Edition] and Video Capture Device: Treasures from the Vault ...
When Weezer emerged from California obscurity to release its self-titled debut (forever known as the Blue Album) in 1994, the foursome made a unique impact on the musical landscape.
For the more casual listener, the best tracks on the bonus disc are the few acoustic versions of hits from the Blue Album, all of which showcase the songwriting abilities and voice of bandleader Rivers Cuomo.
Coinciding with the re-release of the Blue Album is a three-hour Weezer DVD entitled Video Capture Device: Treasures from the Vault 1991–2002.

 Orbital - Blue Album - Review - Stylus Magazine
Given that their last album proper, the messy and inconsistent but far from bad The Altogether, was widely perceived as being their worst record, and failed to make a commercial impact on par with earlier efforts, Blue Album could easily have been a step too far for a band past their artistic peak.
What makes Blue Album good is that it is a very Orbital record; it seems at points to refract every phase of their career thus far, pulling together each creative strand and echoing their past impeccably.
Blue Album manages over the course of its nine tracks to push all the buttons that Orbital fans have already had pushed so deliriously well over the last decade and a half by (generally) superior albums and songs.

 Massive Attack - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Their music is electronic and combines elements of jazz, hip hop, rock, classical into music that is often named as trip-hop and other genres; lately darker, subtler forms of electronic music have been dominant influences.
In 1988 they released their first single "Any Love," followed in 1991 by their first album, Blue Lines, featuring the hit singles "Unfinished Sympathy" and "Daydreaming." The album was well-received both critically and commercially, with some polls calling "Unfinished Sympathy" one of the best songs of all time.
In addition to their usual numerous guest vocalists, the trio were now being joined on stage by a live guitarist, bassist, drummer, and keyboard player, as well as a video screen and lighting effects.

 CLUAS Indie Album Reviews: The Blue Nile 'High'
Reportedly they had an entire album of new material just before "High", their new collection, and "High" is of course their fourth album in 20 years.
But it does work for Blue Nile, and "High" really is a stunning return to form after the pretty awful "Peace at last".
It's the only blemish on the entire album — everything else on "High" is far above and beyond nearly everything else recorded this and many a year in terms of its sheer musical class.

 Orbital: The Blue Album - PopMatters Music Review
The release of the "brown" album in 1993 was hailed as an immediate triumph, based in no small part on the success of "Halcyon+On+On", a slightly reworked version of a track ("Halcyon") which had appeared the previous year on the Radiccio EP.
It was the first Orbital album that didn't play as a cohesive unit, and although many of the tracks were as good as anything they had ever done, the album's scattershot nature was a disappointment.
The Blue Album is the quintessential Orbital album, because it manages to hit every expectation that the duo have created over the course of their 15-year career.

 The Brownsville Herald - Online Edition   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-27)
Dubbed the Blue Album by fans, the deluxe edition features special packaging and a second disc full of b-sides, live shots and rarities from Weezer’s early days.
Surprisingly, the Blue Album was accepted by the mainstream when other strong early efforts by the alternative nation (Belly’s Star, Dinosaur Jr’s Green Mind) hardly made an impact.
The album was mostly filled with sonically pleasing tunes like “Photograph” and “Island in the Sun.” It was methadone for Blue Album fanatics.

 CLUAS Indie Album Reviews: Orbital 'The Blue Album'
Much was made of the better quality of the live shows compared with their recorded material but "Insides"and "Snivilization" are two of the best albums of the mid nineties, real masterpieces of electronica that transcended all categories and appealed to all tastes.
For these and many other reasons it's difficult not to approach "The Blue Album", their last album, with a degree of trepidation, but if "The Altogether " was Orbital's "Let it be" this album is their "Abbey Road".
"The Blue Album" represents a real return to form for Orbital, and there's enough here to indicate that the split may not be permanent.

The brothers extra–mural interests have all informed the character of The Blue Album, the bands seventh, which evolved gradually over the course of 2003 with the band free from record company expectations and schedules for the first time since their career began.

 Weezer - The Blue Album Review - sputnikmusic
Unlike many bands, their biggest album was their very first self -titled we all refer to as the "Blue album".
Weezers self -titled album hooks you from the beginning with My name is Jonas a great tune with a fantastic acoustic guitar intro that blends well with the riff with the electric guitar.
Soloing on this album for the most part is ok. Brian throughout most of the album has solos that are higher,faster versions of the chorus not including a couple songs.

 Orbital - Blue Album @ Soundbug
I was a bit skeptical when I first purchased this album, but when I knew the title of the album was a "color" I knew it had promise.
Looking back at the original "Yellow" album and then what I consider is their best album, the "Brown" album I knew this was a departure from their last two albums.
The last two albums (middle of nowhere and the alltogether) have been more on the happier side, but Blue Album is a little darker.

 BBC - collective - Orbital - The Blue Album
Some of The Blue Album, the last release by the Brother's Hartnoll before they go their seperate musical ways, is noodly.
There are a few tracks on the Blue Album which further this sound, and they are the highlights for me. Album opener Transient is a largely beatless, string-led mood setter.
This last album is a reminder of what they've done for the scene, but it's probably a good thing that they're calling it a day before the nostalgia gives way to dissapointed utterings of "had it, lost it..."

The closing song featuring Lisa Gerrard is upbeat, jolly tech-house with her ethereal vocal soaring over the top--a fitting end to an album and indeed career that brought techno to the mainstream and kept analog synthesizers cool.
The last couple albums, I have managed to like, love or at least appreciate everything on them, contrary to some, but this sadly ins't the case on the Blue Album.
The last two albums (middle of nowhere and the alltogether) have been more on the happier side, but Blue Album is a little darker.

Albums with colors in their names were definitely the way to go, so I started to make a list.
What about Weezer's "Blue Album?" It's really just named "Weezer", but everyone calls it by it's jacket color to distinguish it from the other one they released with the same name.
Most surprisingly of all is the fact that this is Jay-Z's last album and that he is retiring from the music business.

 Orbital - Blue Album
The latest album from UK electronica pioneers Orbital, entitled the Blue Album, finds the Hartnoll brothers returning to their roots.
The music on the Blue Album is not as innovative as some of their recent work, but may be more fan-friendly.
Their first album began with "Moebius", which featured a sampled voice repeating "There is this theory of the Moebius; a twist in the fabric of space where time becomes a loop." Orbital's latest is a return to their beginning, and should be a welcome listen for fans of the Orbital sound.

 weezer Mp3 Albums Review
I know that this album did not recieve good reviews from music critics, but it is by far my most favorit album, my next fav is the blue album.
On their third album (self-titled, like their first, but referred to as the "Green Album"), the band makes a concentrated effort to return to anthemic '60s punky pop, demonstrating that, for Weezer at least, it's rather easy being green.
All of the songs on the Green Album are abundant in their pop hooks, and usually fall under the three minute mark.

 zBoneman Music Reviews
After the extremely poor showing of 2001's The Altogether, by far Orbital's worst album in their (at that time) 10 year career, it isn't a total surprise that it's taken the Hartnoll brothers three years to make a follow-up, which they've also announced will be their last.
The Blue Album starts off at a wonderful pace with the string-heavy "Transient," and the bass pounding, hand-clap inducing "Pants." The third track, the trance inspired "Tunnel Vision" though is the best of the bunch here.
The Blue Album won't be remembered for being one of the best Orbital albums, but it's a respectable way to end a remarkable career.

 RIVER RISING: The Blue Ridge Rangers John Fogerty album
From "Workin' on a Building" (a traditional gospel tune) to Hank Williams' "Jambalaya," BLUE RIDGE RANGERS is a complete journey to the deep wells of American folk, bluegrass and traditional music, the music John Fogerty grew up listening to.
The fact that "The Blue Rigde Rangers" cited John Fogerty as arranger and producer only masked the fact that JF sang and played all the instruments on the album, a true one-mand-bandship.
Fogerty's insistence on anonymity was later explained as a wish to distance himself from the shadow of Creedence and to make a stand on the merits of his music alone.

 Splendid Magazine reviews Weezer: Blue Album Deluxe Edition
Certain albums are so satisfying that you need only the thinnest excuse to revisit them, and this mostly brilliant, only-slightly-vapid nugget of guitar pop is one of them.
The main course here is the remastered album (which of course is almost completely impossible to distinguish from the original), but the thin excuse comes in the form of a second disc that packs fourteen B-sides, oddities and remixes.
Two pre-production demos of Blue Album songs that didn't make the cut ("Lullaby for Wayne", "I Swear it's True") will please fans; they're gruff, under-rehearsed, and a little too open, but all the more delightful to lo-fi junkies for it.

This is the album that got me into The Beatles, my dad had it and I just listened to it one day and that did it, it changed my life as they say.

Orbital was one of the bands that brought my attention to electronic music for full back in the days, and their albums has given me tons of good memories and fantastic moments.
This Blue album was their way of saying goodbye, and this way of doing it is like quitting on top in my opinion.
This album is in my ears one of the best albums they ever produced, and for sure way better than the previous couple of albums.
