Buy Adult Alternative Music

I'm happy to see KT getting a US release of her awesome UK hit album. She is an awesome singer/songwriter with a style that is very unique. "Suddenly I See", while not the lead single is my favorite song.

I heard her on NPR and immediately ordered this album. She sounded a little less polished and a bit bluesier when playing live on the radio. The addition of studio musicians and the inevitable polishing of her sound in the studio have dulled the...

KT has great voice, set to a great acoustic tone, but if you asked me to identify one of her songs on the radio, I probably couldn't do it. Tunstall does little to separate herself from the likes of Natasha Bedingfield, Jewel, Nelly Furtardo and...

This is a great, mellow album. Guitar and percussion, I enjoy it a lot.

Then this CD is not for you. No guitar playing that make Jack popular except for the ONE song Sitting Waiting Wishing.
If you like reggae this CD is definitely for you. Every song has a 'boom boom cha' boot, I wouldn't even call this Jack....

After seeing the video for the stellar "Sitting, Waiting, Wishing" I figured I'd go out and buy this album while it was cheap. And since with the last two CDs, the first 'single' I heard ("Flake" and "The Horizon Has Been Defeated") only ended up...

I first saw this amazing band open in San Francisco...I couldn't get enough of their music after that night...As the album title suggests, all of the songs sound like they are to or about a girl. Jane is a real person, I believe, but the songs...

I go look at the CD here on amazon.com and the reviews are awsome, but I get the CD and I am really dissapointed. I really enjoy new music and I thought I was in for a treat, but I was dissapointed. They had good beats, but each song is sung in...

Kara's Flowers, the predecessor to Maroon 5, was one of the great late 90's power pop bands, something like a jazzy Fountains of Wayne. It was really catchy rock music that seemed to be getting better with age, as they learned more about...

I was hooked on Coldplay after I heard the song "Clocks" during the Brit Awards a couple of years ago. I then listened to the Rush Of Blood and Parachutes. In my opinion, Parachutes had more solid song structure, but the Rush of Blood had more...

"Fix You" is genuinely marvellous, but what happened to the rest of the album? To me, X&Y is a kind of slushy, over-produced, mass market slice of overly sweet cake. Coldplay have mastered the ability to make their music popular to absolutely...

Coldplay's objective was to try to create a completely different album than the last one. This one is more focused on being electronic, complex and anthemic. And all while they did well on the opening, the album goes downhill right after the...

The new Fray CD shows an incredible blend of melodies and lyrics. The musicianship on this CD is outstanding. Their music will appeal to a wide spectrum of people. I am a 40-something trained musician who is tired of what I hear on the radio and...

How to describe The Fray? Well, they're a piano-pop group, so I ought to compare them to other piano-pop artists. Let's see. Think Coldplay without the atmospherics, Mae without the blissful melodies, Ben Folds Five without the wit and swagger....

I bought this CD based on the single "Over my Head", which is a good, catchy tune. The music on this CD is pretty good, but nothing new or ground-breaking here. The singer channels David Gray while the band gives tribute to Coldplay (who gives...

I saw James Blunt open for Lloyd Cole in Ireland in Oct 04, thought he was great so ordered the CD when released. The CD is excellent, it's one of the very rare CDs that I let play from start to finish, as all songs are good and some are amazing -...

Well! We all thought Leo had faded away back in the early eighties, after a string of albums and hits over almost ten years. (Go ahead, sing to yourself a few bars of "When I Need You" . . .) But here he is, back and sounding exactly the same as...

This is marvelous, for a teenager, for 40 somethings, to absolutely any age. Very easy to listen too. I can't get enough of this CD. I have told EVERYONE about James Blunt. Trust me I don't normally get excited over music.

Jesus of Seburbia

I have just edited my review that I made of this album when it first came out. It won't let me change it from 3 stars to 4.5. I would. I was wrong in my initial feelings on the album. "Jesus of Suburbia" is possibly the greatest song Green Day...

Sarah McLachlin is one of the most talented young women writing music today. "Surfacing" has all the qualities that made "Fumbling Towards Ecstasy" an international hit -- smart, introspective lyrics, beautiful instrumentation, and, of course,...

This CD is at best poor, at least by the high standards that Mrs. Maclachlan has set in the past. There are only two songs on the whole CD that stay true to her roots of creative lyrics and beatiful music, Building a Mystery and Sweet Surrender....

Artistically, this album does not compare to "Fumbling Towards Ecstasy". Although Sarah McLachlan did receive a Grammy for "Building a Mystery" (overdue), that is one of the two exceptional songs on the album ("Sweet Surrender" being the other)....

For a debut CD, "Room For Squares" cannot be beat. John Mayer has packaged all of his phenomenal live songs into a spectacular album that showcases his awesome talent. If you're looking for an artist with guitar skills that will awe you, check out...

Yes, good guitar playing, decent lyrics... but what this boils down to is a poor version of the Dave Matthews Band. I'm not a huge Dave Matthews fan, but I can spot a band-wagon rider when I see one and John Mayer is one of them. I recently saw...

Dave Matthews vocal wannabe??? (...) This is a great album, period. In the day when popular music is suffering at an all time low, this new release from a REAL singer/songwriter is a very pleasant departure from the painfully bland music we are...
