Not sure what’s happening with me on this one, but it seems like the more I listen to it, the better Who Sell Out gets. Who Sell Out 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 Who Sell Out. Every track is enjoyable and was pretty easy for me to listen to from start to finish.

These days it’s a very rare CD on which every single song is good or better than the one before it. This CD is certainly one of those rare CDs.

If you’re a Who fan, or just a fan of Rock music this is a CD your collection simply should not be without.

While this entire album is really very good the truly standout tunes are track 3 – Mary Anne With The Shaky Hand, track 7 – I Can See For Miles, and track 23 – Glow Girl.

My Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [...as in "Stuck On REpeat"] is track 1 – Armenia City In The Sky. Great track!

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

Who have been a heavy hitters in the Rock genre for quite a while now and Quadrophenia is an excellent illustration as to why.

Quadrophenia has a pleasantly varied, mix of 17 tracks that are very well written and brilliantly performed songs by these clearly talented musicians. With many of the songs displaying a lot of the kind emotion that makes for a really great listen. Seemingly drawing from what I can only imagine are their own personal experiences. At different points touching on the most real emotions of love, heartbreak, pain, failed relationships and unattainable romance. They’re all here.

Overall Quadrophenia is an outstanding release. Quite possibly Who’s best to date. Really sensational from beginning to end. If you’re even mildly into Rock music you’ll enjoy this CD.

While the entire CD is outstanding some of my favorites are track 5 – The Punk And The Godfather, track 2 – disc 2 – Sea And Sand, and track 7 – disc 2 – Love, Reign O’er Me

My Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [...as in "Stuck On REpeat"] is track 1 – I Am The Sea. This is a great track!

One word describes the CD Ecstasy from Avant… AWESOME!

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 Ecstasy. Every track is enjoyable and was pretty easy for me to listen to from start to finish.

One of the refreshingly nice things about this CD is the way all of the participating artists seem to be really enjoying themselves. Combine that with the overall presentation and you’ve got one of Avant most impressive releases ever.

Listen to Ecstasy and I believe you’ll find there’s not much to dis-like about it. The songs are inspired, the production is simply outstanding, and this is clearly the work of a group of musicians in top form. So much so that if you’re even mildly into Rock music you’ll enjoy this album.

While this entire album is really very good some of my favorites are track 3 – Don’t Say No, Just Say Yes, track 8 – Six In Da Morning, and track 13 – Suicide

My Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [...as in "Stuck On REpeat"] is track 1 – Call On Me. This is a great track!
