Evanescence – Anywhere But Home – Rock Music CD Review By Clyde Lee Dennis Very talented Evanescence have released their latest album titled Anywhere But Home and Wow! It’s really a good one. It’s a rare day indeed that I get a CD from an artist that I can truthfully say does not have a bad track in the bunch. I’m more than happy to announce that’s exactly what I must say about this one. There simply isn’t a bad one in the bunch. No fillers here at all. Anywhere But Home is a nicely varied, mix of 14 tracks that are very well written and brilliantly performed songs by these clearly superb musicians. Most of the songs display 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. I’m of the opinion that Anywhere But Home is certainly some of this groups best work in a few years. A totally enjoyable CD and an outstanding release. What I call must have music. I give it two thumbs up because it’s a collection that even the casual Rock fan can appreciate and enjoy. While the entire CD is outstanding the truly standout tunes are track 3 – Taking Over Me, track 6 – My Last Breath, and track 11 – Bring Me To Life. My SmoothLee Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore …as in “Stuck On REpeat” is track 7 – Farther Away. Outstanding! Anywhere But Home Release Notes: Evanescence originally released Anywhere But Home on Nov 23, 2004 on the Wind-Up Records label. CD Track List Follows: 1. Haunted 2. Going Under 3. Taking Over Me 4. Everybody’s Fool 5. Thoughtless 6. My Last Breath 7. Farther Away 8. Missing 9. Breathe No More 10. My Immortal 11. Bring Me To Life 12. Tourniquet 13. Imaginary 14. Whisper Evanescence: Amy Lee (vocals); Terry Balsalmo, Johnny LeCompt (guitar); William Boyd (electric bass); Rocky Gray (drums).

Nine Inch Nails With Teeth Rock Music CD Review By Clyde Lee Dennis Richly talented Nine Inch Nails have released their latest CD titled With Teeth and Wow! It’s really a good one. It’s a rare day indeed that I get a CD from an artist that I can truthfully say does not have a bad track in the bunch. I’m more than happy to announce that’s exactly what I must say about this one. There simply isn’t a bad one in the bunch. No fillers here at all, with each song standing tall on it’s own. One of the nicer things about a CD like this is when the talent is this rich even if Rock isn’t your favorite style you still can’t help but appreciate the greatness of the musicians.

Porcupine Tree Deadwing Rock Music CD Review By Clyde Lee Dennis Deadwing is the latest Rock CD put out by the extremely group Porcupine Tree and they have once again delivered a brilliant collection of tracks. I’m confident Porcupine Tree fans, and Rock fans alike will be pleased with this one. 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 Deadwing. 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 Porcupine Tree most impressive releases ever. Overall Deadwing is an outstanding release. What I call must have music. I give it two thumbs up and is most definitely a worthy addition to any Rock collection. Truly an outstanding Rock CD. One of those that is completely void of any wasted time, as each track is simply superb. While this entire CD is really very good the truly standout tunes are track 5 – Arriving Somewhere But Not Here, track 8 – The Start Of Something Beautiful, and track 9 – Glass Arm Shattering. My Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore …as in “Stuck On REpeat” is track 6 – Mellotron Sctatch. This is a great track! Deadwing Release Notes: Porcupine Tree originally released Deadwing on April 26, 2005 on the Lava Records label. CD Track List Follows: 1. Deadwing 2. Shallow 3. Lazarus 4. Halo 5.

Coldplay X and Y Rock Music CD Review By Clyde Lee Dennis Not sure what’s happening with me on this one, but it seems like the more I listen to it, the better X and Y gets. X and Y put simply is one of their best CDs to date. Refreshingly, this was one of those CDs I was able to just pop in and comfortably listen to from beginning to end. Every track is enjoyable and was pretty easy for me to listen to from start to finish. X and Y has a pleasantly varied, mix of 13 tracks that are very well written and brilliantly performed songs by these clearly gifted musicians. Most of the songs display 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, and the pain of failed relationships can certainly be heard. If you’re a Coldplay 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. It’s just good music. Period. While the entire CD is outstanding some of my favorites are track 1 – Square One, track 7 – Speed Of Sound, and track 13 – Til Kingdom Come My Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore …as in “Stuck On REpeat” is track 10 – The Hardest Part. Outstanding! X and Y Release Notes: Coldplay originally released X and Y on June 7, 2005 on the Capitol / EMI Records label. CD Track List Follows: 1. Square One 2. What If 3. White Shadows 4. Fix You 5. Talk 6. X&Y 7. Speed Of Sound 8. Message, A 9. Low 10. Hardest Part, The 11. Swallowed In The Sea 12. Twisted Logic 13. Til Kingdom Come – (hidden track) Coldplay: Chris Martin (vocals, piano); Jonny Buckland (guitar); Guy Berryman (bass guitar); Will Champion (drums). Additional personnel: Matt McGinn (guitar); Brian Eno (synthesizer).

Bizarre Magazine Review By Malcolm Ord Bizarre Magazine Beauties Bizarre beauties are the cover women. They are definitely beautiful but they generally have some link to the bizarre. Fetishists, BDSM models, and heavily painted and pierced girls are a regular feature so if that is your kind of thing then this is definitely the lads mag for you. Be warned, though, if you have a heart condition then you should avoid the Bizarre magazine altogether because it definitely isn’t for the faint hearted. Reviews And More Bizarre reviews cover everything that can firmly be categorized as weird, odd, and often depraved. Sex shows, dark fantasies, and outright odd films are all covered in great detail in this section. As well as visual entertainment Bizarre also reviews books, other magazines, and even websites. As a general rule you may find it difficult to find these reviews in other men’s magazines. Weird Features Mondo-Bizarro is perhaps the most characteristic of all the sections in Bizarre magazine. It is the equivalent of the usual features section but these features are a little out of the ordinary. Recent examples have included an educational, and eye opening, piece on hypno-fetishism. Apparently, there are a reasonable number of people that find being hypnotised a sexually arousing experience. Another example that included an incredible picture profile was the coverage of the Sideshow Convention in Pennsylvania. Yes, really. Odd Movies Bizarre movies is dedicated to weird and wonderful film titles that are currently in production or about to be released. Films like Jack Ass the movie and similarly disturbed title get the respect and coverage that they deserve. Titanic is unlikely to be featured in this section. More Bizarre From Bizarre Magazine There are plenty of other sections to get your teeth into as well. Reader’s tattoos is a slightly unusual twist on the usual reader’s submissions but gives us all the perfect opportunity to show off our most outlandish skin art. There are numerous full body part tattoos with some incredibly fine artwork involved. They are definitely fascinating whether you’re a tattoo fan or not. Unlike Any Other Men’s Magazine You Will Ever Read Make no mistake when you take advantage of this magazine subscription offer, Bizarre may be categorised as a men’s magazine or a lads mag but similar to Loaded or FHM it certainly is not. If it isn’t weird or odd or sick or depraved then it doesn’t have a place in this fantastically unique magazine. If this is your kind of thing then a subscription will go a long way to satiate your desire for bizarre news, reviews, and features. from Bizarre Magazine magsite is a uk magazine subscription company.
