Reader Review: The Roots - Rising Down (April 29, 2008)

The Article has images
2008-12-23 12:00:00 by Max in Hip Hop Isn't Dead
...obligatory intro. I never cared much for obligatory intros, although this is pretty amusing, and relevant; the way that ? uestlove and Black Thought completely fly off the handle while talking to the label bigwigs is slightly hilarious and more so disheartening. It's dope that the Roots are making their money without sacrificing artistic...

SANTANA - Santana 3 (1971) [rated 4/5 by Certif1ed]

2008-01-25 03:45:11 by Editor in Progarchives.com (Progressive rock and related latest reviews)
 
...obligatory Santana solo - in which he shows his versatility and emotional virtuosity well, by relating everything back to the underlying music The introduction to Taboo gives no clues as to where the music will be taken, and when the Latin grooved song kicks in, with Hendrix-influenced background licks, it is in a more relaxed, late-night...

2008-04-03 17:00:00 by Darren Ressler in The LimeWire Music Blog
...Obligatory press gush from John Digweed : "Its been six years since Delta Heavy. Both Sasha and myself have been talking for ages about touring the states together again, but really wanted to go back to our underground roots as recently the only shows we have done together have been massive festival events. So this time around we are playing...

GABRIEL, PETER - Growing Up Live (DVD) (2003)

The Article has images
2008-05-18 22:12:43 by Editor in Progarchives.com (Progressive rock and related latest reviews)
...obligatory performance obligations (uniforms, portable klieg-lights, dance moves, teddy bears and various other props) as well as spellbinding technique (which is why Tony Levin has been manning the bass since day 1, just like guitarist Rhodes, both with almost 25 years of loyal service and complicity). This also explains why Peter Gabriel...

YES - Relayer (1974)

The Article has images
2008-06-18 16:00:57 by Editor in Progarchives.com (Progressive rock and related latest reviews)
...obligatory To Be Over. A single version of Soon feels rather out of context to me, and I can't really enjoy it so much having heard the thing in context first. The edit of Sound Chaser similarly feels a bit like obligatory bonus rather than interesting bonus. The run-through of Gates is actually quite interesting in showing a couple of the...

2008-10-20 21:19:13 by matthew in The Greenleaf Music Blog
...obligatory Tom Cruise thing of dancing around in our bath towel while your fab Harmon Kardon sound system blasts Duffy (drapes shut - that neighbor again); then ordering Japanese food and accepting it in aforementioned bath-towel; then the shameful pawing through your closets and bureau drawers - not in a creepy way, of course, but more of a...

2008-10-27 19:35:10 by Editor in Progarchives.com (Progressive rock and related latest reviews)
...obligatory hoe-down song and the obligatory rework of a classical arrangement, but the keyboards are more than enough to make you feel like you're listening to another ELP album Although with this line-up of musicians they really could have stuck to instrumental music. There's only a handful of tracks that actually contain vocals on this...

EMERSON LAKE AND PALMER - Brain Salad Surgery (1973)

The Article has images
2008-11-27 14:14:35 by Editor in Progarchives.com (Progressive rock and related latest reviews)
...obligatory Lake-penned acoustic song. It unfortunately lacks both the commercial appeal of Lucky Man and the mystical air of From the Beginning. Still (no pun intended), it is an enjoyable little song incorporating a sitar Benny the Bouncer This is the obligatory comic relief. Its a ragtime song with Lake singing with a cockney accent Karn...

...Obligatory press gush from Rivers Cuomo : "I agreed to do these special recordings for the game because I am a fan of each of the songs. The melody and vocal lines are incredible and it was fun to sing them Obligatory press gush from Pat Wilson : "I love my iPhone and all the apps that you can download. I love that our band is the first to...
