Rock Music 4 ALL

The exceptionally talented Rock group Black Sabbath have released their CD entitled Technical Ecstasy. I am very confident and happy to announce that I believe Black Sabbath fans, and Rock fans alike will be pleased with this one. With the release of Technical Ecstasy their artistic excellence is on full display as they have once again delivered a brilliant collection of tracks that could very well be their best work to date.

Unfortunately, it’s not everyday that I get a CD for review that I can just pop in and comfortably listen to from beginning to end. There is usually a song or two that I just can’t force myself to get through. Not at all the case with Technical Ecstasy. Every track is enjoyable and was pretty easy for me to listen to from start to finish.

One of the nicer things about a CD like this is with this level of talent even if Rock isn’t your favorite style you still can’t help but appreciate the greatness of the musicians.

Overall Technical Ecstasy is outstanding from beginning to end. One of those CDs that after a few listens the songs are just etched into your memory. A must have for the Rock fan. Really sensational from beginning to end.

While the entire CD is really very good some of my favorites are track 2 – You Won’t Change Me, track 6 – Rock N’ Roll Doctor, and track 8 – Dirty Women

My Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [...as in "Stuck On REpeat"] is track 1 – Back Street Kids. What a nice track!

Not sure what’s happening with me on this one, but it seems like the more I listen to it, the better Blink 182 gets. Blink 182 stated simply is one of their best CDs to date.

I wish it weren’t the case but, it’s not everyday that I get a CD for review that I can just pop in and comfortably listen to from beginning to end. There is usually a song or two that I just can’t force myself to get through. Not at all the case with Blink 182.

If you’re a Blink 182 fan this is a CD your collection flat cannot be without. In fact, this is one of those CDs that you don’t even have to be a fan of lname, or even Rock to know is good. This is just good music. Period.

While the entire album is really very good some of my favorites are track 5 – Stockholm Syndrome, track 12 – All Of This, and track 14 – I’m Lost Without You

Anthology is the latest Rock CD put out by the extremely talented Duane Allman who once again has delivered a brilliant collection of tracks. I’m confident Duane Allman fans, and Rock fans alike will be pleased with this one.

This one will grab your attention right from the very first note with B.B. King Medley: Hour Glass: Sweet Little Angel / It’s My Own Fault / How Blue Can You Get and doesn’t let go until the very last note of the very last song Little Martha, which is another great track by the way.

One of the nicer things about a CD like this is when the talent is this rich even if Rock isn’t your favorite genre you still can’t help but appreciate the greatness of the artist.

If you’re even mildly into Rock music you’ll enjoy this CD. Overall Anthology is an outstanding release. I give it my double thumbs up. You will not be disappointed with one single track.

While this entire CD is really very good some of my favorites are track 6 – Games People Play, track 3 – Please Be With Me, and track 10 – Little Martha

My Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [...as in "Stuck On REpeat"] is track 1 – B.B. King Medley: Hour Glass: Sweet Little Angel / It’s My Own Fault / How Blue Can You Get. Wow!
