With over 15 acclaimed films to his credit, actor Jared Leto knew he had a challenge in creating a legitimate musical group, and the fact that a great many gifted thespians have pumped out some pretty awful albums hasn't slowed him at all. "Any time you have a precedent that's negative like that, you're gonna have an uphill battle," he agrees. "I've never shied away from that." Yet 30 Seconds To Mars' self-titled 2002 debut easily established the group as a fresh, new force, revealing a multi-faceted outfit that thrived on creative exploration and escape.

Three years later, their follow-up, A Beautiful Lie, catapulted the group to even greater success. Where the debut's line-up featured Jared on all guitar, bass, synth and vocals with brother Shannon on drums, a full collaboration developed with A Beautiful Lie, including guitarist Tomo Milicevic and bassist Matt Wachter. "The last thing we wanted to do was make the same record twice," Leto explains. Hundreds of tour dates and a 1996 MTV Nomination for "Best Video" later, 30 Seconds To Mars are proving their stability and still challenging their position. "We're interested in being as modern as we can," Leto concludes. "We're striving to do something different, to look forward rather than back, to be free from the shadows of our inspiration, and to continue, with our voice to make our mark."

The Best Ever.......2007-07-13

I became a huge fan of 30STM after seeing Jared in the video "From Yesterday". I immediately ran out and bought their album; A Beautiful Lie. It is amazing. Being close to 50, most of my friends are surprised that I took to this group, but I found that age doesn't count when it comes to rock music. I introduced all of my friends to their music. I bought their first album,"30 Seconds to Mars" and couldn't believe that as outstanding as the album of the same is, that "A Beautiful Lie" surpassed it. It is without a doubt an album to own not only for your listening pleasure but to keep in your collectors section. PROVEHITO IN ALTUM. Realizing that they also had an album (of the same name (A Beautiful Lie), with a video included, I had my daughter quickly purchase it for me. I love seeing the videos. "A Beautiful Lie" pass it on.........

Great songs, Great sound, Great Band. .......2007-05-31

A Beautiful lie is my first 30 Seconds to Mars CD. After listening to it thoroughly, I can't wait for their next album.
Every song has a different sound to it, which makes the CD even better because you really can't put a certain theme on it--I like that.
I especially like 'The Kill', 'A beautiful lie', 'Attack' and 'From Yesterday', but that is not to say that I dislike any of the other songs: each one is fantastic in its own right.
Appart from Panic! At the Disco's Debut Album, "A Beautiful Lie" is my favorite CD of 2005.
With this album, 30 Seconds to Mars has won itself a good position in my highly-coveted (at least I think so) list of favorite bands.
Anyone who wishes to spend some money on some quality rock-punk-emo music, should definitely look no further.

Protected CD - DO NOT BUY.......2007-05-23

Consumers should know that this CD is a DRM protected CD and will not be able to be read in most computer CD-ROM drives along with certain regular audio CD players. I recently purchased this CD only to find out that I could only use it in the car and an old CD player I happened to still have.

Like most people I usually rip my CD's to MP3s and do the majority of listening either at my computer or on the go with my MP3 player. This isn't even a remote possibility. Do not support companies and bands that restrict consumer's rights!

This is a Virgin Records CD.

Different from their first album; energetic rock with some pretensions.......2007-05-22

The good:
- Interesting song topics - far from the standard concerns of pop/rock. Leto is interested in internal battles, progress of life (fitting for an actor, I guess)
- More variety between and within songs (tempo, topics) than the first album
- Some catchy hook songs like From Yesterday and Attack
- Less noise and more music
The bad
- Verges on pretentious at times
- There's still no guitarist capable of a good lead to sustain the songs - sometimes songs just feel incomplete
- Jared's vocals are still somewhat marginal, not really skilled, rather just enthusiastic
- Doesn't have quite the intensity of the first album
Somehow I found this a bit forgettable - there was nothing I disliked, and some good songs, but I only listened to it a couple of times.

Incidentally - I really like the "addon" track Hunter as it is quite different from the rest - more mellow, quietly intense - and Leto doesnt do any screaming in it ;) Battle of One is also OK.

Buy it immediately you won't be sorry.......2007-05-18

Wow, I was so taken away with this album. I found the band while looking for the new Linkin Park video. I stumbled onto the video "From Yesterday" and was immediately hooked. I listened to the CD about 10 times all the way through before I bothered to find out who I was listening too. Jared Leto has an amazing voice and the metal riffs mixed with strong lyrics and an overall great sound make this the best CD find of the year. I immediately ditched the new Linkin Park CD and went back to listening to Beautiful Lie. I just can't get enough.

From Yesterday has extreme mass appeal and is certainly the hook. But I really love R-Evolve the best. This song just has some of the best vocals I've heard from a mainstream band since Evanescence stumbled on the scene. Savior is another favorite, I love the harder riffs mixed with Jared's superior vocals. For a lighter style, this band is really appealing and easy to listen to again and again. I'm a metal fan so I love rock that has many transitions, and 30 Seconds seems to get that. There are several stops and starts and changes to slower beats. The drummer also seems to like irregular beats, this adds that extra level of complexity missing in so many of today's mainstream rock bands. I think both metal and rock fans can find something commendable with this album.

Buy it immediately and listen to it a hundred times.

Descent album.......2007-06-10

All of this bands albums to date are descent. This is their first major release. It's a little bit more electronic than "a beautiful lie." But there are some very descent songs on this album. It gets a bit repeditive towards the end of the album, so be prepared for that.

wow.......2007-06-03

When I first listened to this CD I was expecting something similar to their second CD. Their second cd has some good songs on it, but overall it just isn't that unique and is completely different. Anyways, this CD is like I said, Nothing at all like the first. This is a good thing. It has a really unique sound to it and really grows on you when you listen to it. All I can say is they should have made their second cd more like this one, not emo garb that gives them a mediocre name to anyone without a flippy hairdue. Most people have not listened to this and base the band soley off of their second album. Give this one a chance.

EXACTLY what I was hoping for!.......2007-05-10

I am so thrilled about this cd! The quality was perfect and it was everything I wanted! I would definitely purchase from these guys again! :)

Refreshingly Surprising!.......2007-04-27

To be honest with you, after hearing "The Kill" on MTV I was intrigued with 30 Seconds to Mars, but I wasn't too hopeful as I'm not a big emo fan and that's the direction that I thought they would stick to. My friend suggested getting their first album, and I absolutely love this CD. The music doesn't really fit into a specific genre, but the sound is amazingly dense and completely fills your ears. Jared Leto really is an amazing singer and the layering of the vocals on the CD amplifies it tenfold. He teases with nearing the border of screaming on a few of the songs and when he does scream, it's perfectly placed and far from "screaming for the sake of screaming." There's nothing truly profound about the lyrics or instrumental capabilities of the musicians, but the songs are catchy, hard driving, and extremely well mixed and produced. I was thoroughly disappointed with the second album after listening to this one, two thumbs up and all that jazz.

This is what music should sound like.......2007-04-23

I live in a cave so I had no idea who 30STM was. I'd heard the name mentioned in passing but paid no mind. Then I saw the CD on sale at WalMart and went home and pulled it up on my musicmatch account and within 20 seconds my mouth was hanging open. WOW. It's like the Deftones married Mars Volta but a hundred times better. I bought A Beautiful Lie and it's good, but not as good as this one.

This album is absolutely amazing. Amazing ideas and formulations of phrases. This is the ultimate album along with revolutionary volume 2. Never heard anything like it. Please do yourself a favor and buy this album.

you can kill the revolution, but you can't kill the revolutionary.......2007-03-07

this is the best hip hop album out there, if you like hardcore hip hop then, this is for you. While most well-known artists talk about they being kings, having a lot of girls, tons of money, tech talks about real stuff, real issues that are going on in the world. he is probably the smartest underground MC. we probaly wont ever listen to him on the radio, because of his socialist believes. That means only one thing, THERE IS NO FREEDOM OF SPEECH, tech's anti-imperialist attitude, anti-capitalism, leftsist ideals, almost pro-castro reveals the guy who worries about the dangers of imperialsm. if you are not happy with the way the government treats you, then this cs is for you. buy it, it's totally worth it.

Viva la Revalucion!!.......2006-12-14

This CD will go down in history, go out and get this classic album NOW!!!

Intense..........2006-11-28

Immortal Technique goes above and beyond with his material. Peep the song Dance with the Devil. This LP will please every fan of Hip Hop music. No- matter your taste or style his visuals are unprecedented and his delivery is not only aggressive but very real... Highly Recommended. Peace!

Below Average Beethoven Performances.......2007-03-10

It is unfortunate that they chose Solti's direction for the symphonic pieces in this soundtrack as he is simply one of the worst conductors for Beethoven. His direction is so slow one would think he is leading a funeral procession instead of music inspired by the French Revolution.

Of all old school directors such as Karajan, Toscanini, etc., Solti's performances are simply morbidly slow to the point of killing the grieving attendants with boredom. The cacophony of the oversized orchestra doesn't help either. Solti's interpretations are even too slow for a requiem. You think a regular interpretation of the 7th's second movement is slow? Wait 'til you hear this one; you're going to need a massage you'll be so stiff. The 9th symphony march is supposed to be a brisk revolutionary march calling the citizens to arms and to join the militia marching through a town. With Solti you imagine only a funeral procession coming through the town. In the Fifth the whole orchestra is almost struggling to slow down to match the strings. Karajan's interpretations are not particularly fast either but at least he breathes some life into them and the orchestra. I personally like Toscanini in terms of the old 20th century symphonic conductors and Gardiner's traditional interpretations that are at least at a correct speed and give the listener the impression they are marching off as part of a revolutionary batallion to bring liberty to the oppressed instead of being rolled to the morgue. Beethoven was a revolutionary anti-monarchist and strongly supported the idea of political change. Although Periah is a great pianist for Beethoven's concertos, there are simply better performances by him that fortunately aren't conducted by Solti such as on Sony with Bernard Haitink and the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra. The same goes for the performances with Axe and Yo-Yo Ma. Gidon Kramer's performance for the Violin Concerto in D is also mediocre at best: there are better violinists out there than Kremer for Beethoven.

This is just not the best CD to get quality performances of Beethoven's works. Overall, Solti's interpretations are simply too sluggish and indecipherable to represent the ideals of Beethoven's music. Solti would definitely be my last choice for anything. You won't lose anything by not buying this soundtrack that's for sure: Solti's interpretations are so slow they will simply fossilize you.

Immortal beloved film.......2007-02-06

having watched a recording of Immortal beloved for a number of years the tape was past its best. now that i have the chance of ordering on line i did , and a good move it was. It was nice to see the film and things so clear, i had not see before, the writing on the love letter at the begining and tears that was shed. Iam very pleased with the dvd.

Living Perfection.......2007-01-14

This is one of the most perfect CDs I own, it's one I come back to time and time again. The recording quality is excellent - even on the cassette, which I've finally replaced after 12 years - but even better, the musical interpretation is splendid. Anyone who thinks that classical music is no longer relevant in our culture needs to buy this CD.

A wonderful tribute to the artist.......2005-05-25

This CD is perfect in my opinion. The recording is perfect, the pitch is perfect, the tempo is perfect, and the track selections are perfect. I think the album samples Beethoven's most remarkable pieces of work from his early years to his death. I have heard many recordings of the Ninth symphony that was just executed poorly; which is a shame because it is such a powerful piece. However, this album does it superbly. Sir Georg Solti and Murray Perahia did an amazing job with this album.

The album just flows really well from one piece to the next evoking a vast array of emotions along the way. Beethoven is timeless and forever will be. There is no comparison even to this day. This a wonderful tribute to the artist.

Very emotional and moving!!.......2005-05-23

I am a big fan of classical music. Beethoven, in my opinion, was one of the best composers, Mozart 1st, Beethoven 2nd, etc. This album is very moving and filled with emotion. I am currently listening to Adagio Cantabile-from Piano Sonata No. 8-from the film album. This piece is so moving and emotional. Another piece was Moonlight Sonata which I especially liked. Beethoven loads this piece with love and emotion for his one true love. In my opinion, Beethoven was the best at writing emotional and moving music. Whenever I listen to his music, I am immersed in a world of emotion and feeling. His music is truly beautiful. Back to the album, Sir Georg Solti really captured Beethoven's genius and devotion to his music in this album. This album really accents the film. You cannot have one, you must have both the film and the soundtrack. This is a must have for classical music/Beethoven fanatics and people who want to get a great summary of Beethoven's genius. BUY THIS!!!!

Do Sweat The Technique.......2007-07-01

I heard about Immortal Technique through some friends and decided to pick up this album. Im pleasantly surprised. Immortal Technique not only has a killer flow but he's quite conscious of things that most zombies would pass off as lunacy. The albums kicks off with a great track Point Of No Return. Then then next track Peruvian Cocaine breaks down like a well acted out play. If you think he only has two or three songs of substance on this album guess again. Harlem Streets, 4th Branch, Internal Bleeding, The Cause Of Death, Leaving The Past are all tight tracks that prove otherwise. Immortal Technique keeps it true to the hip hop side of him with the humorous Obnoxious, which is his f*** all ya'll style track, Industrial Revolution and Crossing The Boundary. I'm still laughing at that track Freedom Of Speech. Even though its a deep cut, the funny part is the sampling of Pinochio and his sarcasm on the song. Immortal Technique teams up with Jean Grae on the deepest song on the album, You Never Know. On this song Immortal Technique tells a very vivid story of a girl he once loved who dies of aids. The album ends with the One Remix with Akir. The only track that is not a song is The Message & The Money. Its basically him telling other up and coming underground MCs that they need to know the ins and outs of the industry. Not bad but its not a song. Bottom Line: Immortal Technique's Revolutionary Vol. 2 is a must have for any fan of political hip hop. His lyrics were as truthful as they were phenomenal, the production was great and the guest appearances were a nice touch. All in all it was a beautifully put together album. 5 stars!

A History Lesson you'll never get from the estabishment.......2007-06-10

Tech isn't rapping, he's teaching.
Setting a foundation for liberating minds.
Things that sound crazy aren't, they're real and you can see for yourself.
Many of the lyrics are the keywords to revealing a truth that has been buried. Don't take his word for it, find out for yourself.

walkin' around with a full banana clip and he's blasting everything in site. Hip Hop, the government, people that did him wrong, etcetera. This cd is not for the Lite FM listener. Y'all better DUCK! Those that need to.

Revolutionary homophobe?.......2007-04-04

While immortal technique speaks to many issues affecting oppressed people, he fails miserably in recognizing his own part in perpetuating sexism and homophobia.

There's nothing revolutionary about calling someone a homothug or calling the woman that aborted a child a b*tch. True revolution recognizes the value of all people.

Once again, an underground artist with appeal to activists fails the test.

AS A FIRST TIME BUYER AT AMAZON,I AM IMPRESSED AT THE QUALITY OF CD AND TIME OF SERVICE

St. Paul's Cathedral ImpressiveCollection of Anglican Hymns.......2007-01-24

St. Paul's Cathdral is the second largest cathedral church in the basilican style, exceeded only by St. Peter's Rome. New York City's St. John the Divine is larger than St. Paul's, but with decidely gothic elements. All three cathedrals have fine choirs, but St. Paul's and St. John's continue the noble and unique sound of boys and men in the English tradition. St. Paul's great organ is one of the world's finest, with a decay of seven seconds. The great hymns are all here, conducted by John Scott, only recently appointed organist of St. Thomas' Church, Fifth Avenue, New York City. This is a recording will a be prized addition to your library of choral music. You will not be disappointed.

Excellent Cathedral Organ & Choral .......2006-02-24

This selection of recordings by The Choir of St. Paul's Cathedral contains pieces representative of traditional Anglican musical liturgy. The technical aspects of this production on compact disk seem to be outstanding, but beware that the original recordings were in some cases less than stellar. Another reviewer points out that on some tracks the lyrics sung by the choir are overwhelmed by the superb organ playing, which no doubt occurred due to inadequate microphone placement during the recording sessions. That said, I nevertheless rate this presentation of the St. Paul's Choir highly. It provides a mixture of musical types. In addition to the choir, the CD presents the work of four organists, including a marvelous organ solo, as well as several pieces sung a cappella by the choir and its boy treble soloists. I especially recommend this choir's rendetion of Gregorio Allegri's "Miserere," which features the voices of two boy trebles, a boy alto and a bass, which yeilds a mesmerizing experience. Unless one is acquiring full sets of the St. Paul's Choir's music, this compact disk should delight anyone interested in traditional cathedral organ and choral music.

LACK OF DICTION?!!!.......2003-11-12

Obviously the individual who wrote the review including the "marred by lack of diction" remark is not too familiar with the traditional boychoir sound. I am moved to sickness that they were so openly compared with the sound of the all-too-familiar MTC. THOSE WERE ADULTS!!! These are boys! Boys cannot give the kind of sound of the MTC because their voices are not developed enough. The greatest hope a boychoir has of wowing audiences is in their contrast in dynamics. They model this beautiffully in their acapella pieces. In their accompanied pieces, I feel they hold their own above the (sometimes blearing) organ.
Know the genre a little better before you slander a great performance.

Marred by lack of diction.......2003-04-22

The singing is beautiful, melodious and full of harmony. The organ would make Bach proud.

But the lyrics do not stand out. In fact, they are obliterated by the surrounding melodies.

I hate to do this, but I am comparing with the Mormon Tabernacle Choir. These little boys would learn from them.

It is a pity that these grand lyrics should be obscured by inept singing by a choir of young boys and men.

a voice teacher and early music fan.......2007-02-09

'The HYMN-a word derived from the Greek 'hymnos'-has been defined as 'a term of unknown origin applied from ancient times to a wide variety of songs in honor of gods, heroes or notable men.'
The founder of English hymnody is Isaac Watts (1674-1748), whose work in reforming congregational song texts culminated in the publication of his 'Hymns and Spiritual Songs' in 1707. Watts' collection was as complete and comprehensive a set of hymns as had ever been proposed for English worship and it raised the profile of the hymn sufficiently to overcome the prevailing psalmody. The great flowering period of English hymnody began with the work of the Methodist hymn-writers John Wesley (1703-1791) and his brother Charles (1707-1788). The Wesleys gave great prominence to hymns within their Methodist worship and published many books.
The modern hymn book is a collection of hymns drawn from various times and places. This most accomplished recording by St. Paul's Cathedral Choir presents 16 well-loved hymns from 'The New English Hymnal'. A great number of the hymns, which originate from many different eras and traditions, are given an extra musical dimension by John Scott's original descants and thrilling brass arrangements.
Over the years, I have found myself purchasing mostly the recordings of English choirs. They seem to have incredible vocal skills, perfectly executed phrases, flawless diction and some unidentifiable ingredient that makes them very appealing to hear. Of course, I personally enjoy the all male choirs sound; boy sopranos and male altos make the difference. This is a very appealing group of hymns!!!!!

Hymns for every one.......2002-12-01

As I have said already..I am from espiscopal church..these my songs are well know by me...these songs give encouragement when it seems that all hope is lost..these are tunes that are well received....they are also very simple for the every day person to gain strength from day to day..they will become your daily prayer.....

Super Praise!.......2000-06-10

Praise The Lord offers the listener traditional hymns in the English/British tradition. the clarity of the voices make it possible for the listener to follow the words distinctly. The organ soars as accompaniment. the CD provides organ and choral quality for the novice and the experienced musician.

Amazon.com

This, the third pairing of Brit multi-instrumentalist Thornton and Egyptian percussionist Ramzy, further explores Middle Eastern dance motifs in a contemporary setting. Recording the basic tracks in the U.K., they went to Cairo and invited some of the top local musicians to collaborate. Flute, violin, ney, aud, rebala, and accordion flesh out these extended, ambient grooves in an evocative, textural tapestry aimed as much at the mind as at the feet. Reminiscent of Peter Gabriel's film scoring, Immortal Egypt has, with all its participants, enough cultural pedigree to satisfy World Music fans and sonic construction to please the headphone listener, but is probably too gentle for dance clubs, except for the most subtle sashaying. --Derek Rath

Album Description

Following the glowing success of Eternal Egypt, a new light of inspiration has guided Thornton and Ramzy to work together again in a startling and innovative format. Thornton describes the the creation of the recording in this way...

Dance-able!.......2007-05-24

Compulsively dance-able! This lovely CD is also good for listening to whenever. Nice as a background, but hardly boring. You can't ignore it, but it isn't intrusive either. Highly recommended for dancers.

Hypnotic.......2007-01-10

This is a great CD for almost everything! I listen to relax, I listen to energize, I listen while driving, while at work, or I use it to practice my bellydance moves. I can also put it on in the background almost anytime and I love it all the way through. I also recommend the Sabla Tolo CD by H.Ramzy if you want something faster, more upbeat & purely percussional. These 2 CD's are a great balance & truly complement one another.

very hot.......2006-06-24

I COMPLETELY concur with Brendanna's assessment as well as the others: turn the lights out, light a bunch of candles, and let the music from this cd create the rest of the atmosphere. Its hypnotic and erotic. Each time you listen you hear different instrument elements. I'm definitely going to look for more of this artist combination of Phil Thornton and Hossam Ramzy. Hossam is the percussion king in my book. The horns in the title track "Immortal Eqypt" are awesome, it leads the imagination to picture an ancient Egyptian celebratory procession through ancient city streets with all the pomp and circumstance these events beheld. My girlfriends love to entertain with belly dancing to this track, I love it!! Unfortunately, my cd got stuck in my car's player!! Fortunately I had already dubbed it to the pc. Definitely a good listen if you're a world music lover who appreciates the sophisticated blend of the modern and the ancient traditional. For parties I like to play different music in each congregation space, this definitely gets heavy rotation.

fab sounds.......2006-03-21

Immortal egypt is a brilliant album. I would recommend it to everyone interested in any middle eastern music. It has everything. Its so beautiful i listen to it a lot!!!!

DOESN'T REALLY MATTER WHAT MUSIC YOU LIKE..........2005-12-28

Its really something you should have in your collection. I like all kinds of music, and this one works for me to. My mind flows with every rythm of the songs.... It opens up your imagination to do whatever you want... specially if you are playful and kinky..haha... What I really mean is that you just need to turn off the lights, light on a bunch of candles and let the music make the rest.... just listen to it and it will tells you what to do. dance, breath, stretch, pray, anything. As for me, I would recommend you the tracks:
1. At The Gates Of The Citadel
3. Last Words By The Temple
4. Morocco Dance
6. El Moulid
7. Praying For Rain
8. Emerald Minarets In A Sea Of Stars
9. Sunrise Over Giza

Enjoy the trip.

ACOP.......2007-03-15

This CD is radio friendly, and should be listened to from start to finish letting the context of the music along with the lyrics take you to the special place inside your head. In other words, a person should give this CD a listen, and you will see not only are you dancing in your seat but you are actually enjoying the tunes. This is a young band who are just finding their space in the musical spectrum, and they have grown tremendously since their first album. This is the kind of group you can grow with and not out of in time. Check it out.

Room To Grow.......2007-02-22

To all of the haters of this band and CD, please remember that this band is made up of a group of teenagers. For their young ages, this is quite an impressive effort. The opening track, along with "Take Care" and "Shoot From the Hip" are the strongest tracks, the rest falling between emo and pop-punk. This CD is quite mainstream and radio-friendly, but that dosen't mean it dosen't have its share of moments. And it does offer a lion's share of huge hooks and catchy riffs. Only thing is the relative similarity of many of the tracks...but if you like the sound, then that's just fine. This may not be the big breakout CD from this band just yet, but they have time to grow. It is a step in the right direction, especially lyrically. If these guys put it all together the next time out, look out.

Best Cd iv listened to in a long time.......2007-01-05

finaly i can get a cd that i can listen the whole way through and not skip songs, i love every song on this cd. I would recommend you buying it, i listen to this cd probly everyday. The kid things for 13 year-olds but im 15. and i dont have an account here.

A "change" of pace? Hardly.......2006-09-13

ACOP's second full length offering "prepare the masses" is anything but a "change" from the corporate faux post-hardcore trash we're subjected to on a daily basis by taking back sunday and so they say. If you're expecting something catchy, you'll be letdown. If you're expecting something heavy, you'll be letdown. If you're expecting something original...forget about it!

Aside from a small handful of radio singles, there is almost nothing memorable about "prepare the masses". It is what it is; generic post-hardcore. If you're a diehard fan of 'so they say' or 'taking back sunday' (post-tell all your friends), you may want to give this a shot. Anyone else, stay away!

It works... kind of........2006-08-19

A Change of Pace's Prepare for the Masses feels like one of the most incredibly manufactured discs I've ever heard. With a sound that might remind you of a heavier mallpunk band, such as Fall Out Boy or Motion City Soundtrack, and lyrics that on the political songs are like a bad grass roots anti war movement(with "controversial" titles such as "How to Rape a Country"), and on the love songs just seem incredibly mundane.

You listen to the album, and start to wonder... "is this a joke? a parody?" But as you get through, you realize something. This is produced in an extremely slick package. You'll be humming along with the stuff, not even realizing it. As a pop album, even with the attempts to be cutting edge, it works incredibly well, especially on the electronic tinged "I'm Alive", the drum-heavy sexy "War in Your Bedroom", and quite possibly the strongest song on the album "I Wanna Be Your Rock-n-Roll", and it hits you.

It's an incredibly fun listen. It's short, clocking in at 42 minutes, but at the length it's at, it just works. And that's what I'd say about the album as a whole. It's got many, many flaws. It borders on mundane lyrically, the musicianship doesn't feel anything special, and the sound is extremely manufactured, but as you listen to this, you can't help but like it. So with that in mind, even though my brain is telling me to tell you to ignore this album, my gut is telling you to give it a listen and enjoy it... just don't expect anything revolutionary.
