5.0 out of 5 stars All Triumph, All good, Sep 11 2011
This review is from: Diamond Collection (Audio CD)
This is an easy way to buy all the Triumph Cd's in one package... All the original CD's are here from the eponymous album (And they even use the original album jacket rather than the "In The Beginning" jacket... I like that, because I owned the original LP with the original sleeve and never understood the re-release with a different name/sleeve.

The only cd missing from this collection is the only album without Rik Emmett. The package contains only the music that Rik performed on.

The sound quality is quite good in this package...nice and clear.

Considering you can buy each of the Triumph CD's individually here at Amazon for about 10 dollars, to get them all in this package for basically the same price per cd makes this worth the purchase.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great!, Jun 27 2011
This review is from: This Is Gonna Hurt (Audio CD)
Nikki Sixx needs to get these guys on board full time... another great album... Hopefully sometime in the future Nikki will take this band a bit more seriously and tour a bit with them rather than with Motley... but I guess he knows where the money is...

If you liked the first Sixx:AM album, you will really like this one.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not their best, but a pleasant surprise, Jun 27 2011
This review is from: Move Like This (Audio CD)
All that is missing from this album to make it a true classic Cars album is Benjamin Orr, that's it... from the opening note, the Cars are back... This album sent me back to my teenage years immediately. Its amazing how 23 years have passed since the last release, but the sound remains exactly the same. A good blend of sounds from all of their past albums, but often reminiscent of the debut album. I LOVE this album... good work guys!

5.0 out of 5 stars Remasteres or not... one of the best!, May 14 2011
Easily one of the best Rush albums ever gets the royal treatment here. The sound that comes from your speakers on this reworking is nothing less than spectacular. Sounds you may not have heard before, excellent separation of the instruments around the 5.1, and clarity second to none... like you are sitting in the room with them while they are recording the tracks. Lots of extras, nothing mindblowing, but Rush fans will enjoy the package.

My title says it all... can't miss with anything by Blue Rodeo... This one just lacks the popularity of some other titles...

5.0 out of 5 stars Great overview of a career by a great performer, May 14 2011
Pick this one up if you are at all a fan of Colin James... it's a can't miss album of great hit songs and a couple of new songs to keep it all rolling along.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good album, Jan 9 2011
This review is from: Head On (Audio CD)
My Favorite Toronto album, and after finally hearing it again after a long while (since I sold off my LP's a number of years ago, I have finally replaced it on CD), it reminded me why right away why I liked it so much.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic "Final" album from the Crowes, Jan 9 2011
This review is from: Croweology (Audio CD)
What can I say bad about this CD? Nothing... Great versions of most of their best work... all acoustic, but still powerful. Buy this! Won't be disappointed.

4.0 out of 5 stars This tour has been released before..., Feb 12 2005
IF you own the 25th Anniversary Box Set, then you know that this set list is virtually the same as the one in the box. I really like the Carnegie Hall show included in the box set, and therefore probably wouldn't buy this. I would have preferred a DVD of this show rather than another version of it on CD...If you don't own the box, and this set is anywhere near as good as the Carnegie Hall show, then pick this up, because it will rock your world...

I wish Tull was still like this today
