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).

Santana Supernatural Rock Music CD Review By Clyde Lee Dennis Supernatural is the latest release from Rock Superstar Santana, and is another great one by this talented musician. Supernatural grabs your attention right from the very first note with Yaleo and won’t let go until the very last note of the very last song The Calling, which is another great track by the way.

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).
