Deep PM
I gave this 5 stars because I'm biased; to me it really is that good. I've met Dave and have seen him perform several times. As a fellow guitarist I find him incredibly inspiring.
We've seen him perform at the High Street Cafe in West Chester, PA...

Hellbilly Deluxe 2
I was going to write a lengthy review of this CD and compare it to his other work but, you know what? I changed my mind. I just deleted a whole paragraph of nonsense just to leave you with some simple thoughts:
It's Rob Zombie, he does his thing, and any real fan is glad that he does it...

Everyday Noize
As a music producer and podcaster with a budget minded approach to digital home recording I've been looking for a collection of sound effects that don't cost an arm and a leg. Yes, there are some outstanding sound effect collections available, but seriously, I can't spend $99 or $199 on sounds...

Rob Zombie
My girlfriend and I caught Rob Zombie and his band at the Mohegan Sun Arena in Connecticut last weekend (12/3), and it was an excellent show. Totally rocked. We walked down to the floor area, and while security wouldn't let us onto the floor we did manage to hang out down at the bottom near a couple of vacant seats...

Flowers Before Hours
Hailing from MILWAUKEE, Wisconsin, New Sense produces fresh, yet familiar music, reminiscent of great bygone eras of eurobeats, 70's flower-power, a touch of techno, excellent grooves, and smooth, pure, wonderful vocals, and great production...

Vapor Trails
I must admit, when I first saw the cover art it wasn't at all what I had expected when I heard of the official CD title before it's release. I was envisioning more clean, blue sky art similar to Test for Echo, because when I think of Vapor Trails I picture white contrails in a clear blue sky...

Everything Must Go
I wouldn't expect anything but cool.
Wow, these guys have been around for a long, long time, and I'll never get tired of hearing their trademark grooves, tight drums and cool arrangements...

Waiting for my Rocket to Come
When I first heard "The Remedy (I won't worry)" on the radio I was hooked, I knew I had to hear more from this guy. I bought the CD as fast as I could and put it in the car, turned it up...

God Shuffled His Feet
I took a short trip back a few years (a lot few), I was 25 and my favorite CD was God Shuffled His Feet, released in 1993 by The Crash Test Dummies. This was the second offering from the band, and the most successful follow-up to their 1991 debut release "The Ghosts that Haunt Me" which featured the hit Superman's Song...

Everyday
I must admit, I wasn't a fan of Dave Matthews band early on, when everyone else was raving about this act when they erupted in the early 90's. I may still not be a fan, as it were, but I do appreciate good music and that's what I found on their 2001 offering "Everyday"...

Get Inside
Get inside, put your seatbelt on, and enjoy the ride. You'll cruise by quaint country scenes, race a train skirting rolling hills and rustic mountains. You'll make it all the way to Nashville via gritty city streets past all the coolest jazz and rock clubs...

Shangri-La
A true compañero and more than worth los dinero, even if you have to rob a bank to get it! Mark Knopfler is at the top of his gig here. There's no shortage of great guitar work, and like his other solo releases, the story telling is top notch!
Rock, blues, country, salsa, and more styles of music intertwine here than in any other album I've heard...

Feedback
I didn't know what to expect at first, but when I gave Feedback a listen I was not disappointed. It's interesting; this legendary power trio from Canada has earned a well deserved reputation as one of the most original progressive rock bands in the world and here they are doing covers...
