This is the first studio album from Mychael Danna since bad diagnosis in 1995. Lead single “Track01″ and “Track02″ start with near-whispers before kicking into giddily catchy, fuzz box-driven hollered hooks. It’s natural for Mychael Danna to take a stab at ‘Track01′ considering her long-professed love for Army of Lovers. Cool, but I like their other actual stuff better like Girl Interrupted.
Track02 is one of the most beautiful songs ever to grace my stereo. You have to get essence of the Track03’s power, to truly understand this masterpiece. Track04 as a highlight of Girl Interrupted contains a ton of marvelous melodies. Mychael Danna sings Track05 in such a comforting, confident voice that you can’t help but be moved. It’s also one of those rare songs that touchingly comfort the listener. In Track07 it becomes nowhere more obvious that Mychael Danna has yet to define own style. Voice and instruments in Track08 complement each other. Get Girl Interrupted and turn on Track09 if you are going to sip your wine late at night. Simply the finest work ever from this multi-talented singer. Blew our minds when we first heard Track11. There is exquisite mix of music in Track12. Track13 is, without a doubt, my favorite song, ever. Track14 is worth the money. Track15 is one of my favorite songs by Mychael Danna. Track16 is simply exquisite. Track17 has to be one of the most beautiful tracks on the entire album. First time I heard Track18 was on radio driving in my car and sonically it just sounded amazing.Track19 is perfect song though, very addictive. In Track20 Mychael Danna spins a tale you want to hear to the end. It took me a little time but I ended up loving Track21. Track22 - For me, this is the best of the album. Track23 - A classic Mychael Danna track. Track24 is filled with very deep emotions that will truly touch your heart. Track25 is a very catchy tune. When I listen to Track26 in my car when traffic ain’t going so good. Track27 is a romantic if not formulaic ditty. The opening track Track28 is very much like you would expect from other albums. This song is like perfectly aged vintage bordeaux wine not a tequila shot. Track30 gets you up and jumping. Track31 catches attention immediately, Track32 - I just love it.

When you buy a Mango album, you know exactly what you’re getting! This compilation contains all of the biggest hits by Mango. Mango was a flawless and timeless record. Not surprising from Mango and Dove Vai: Live together. This is one of Mango best albums
This is one of those songs that musicians strive to write and create. The song feels complete. La Rosa Dell’inverno - This one is lively and fun. Australia is a striking and quite long song. Oro can be hardly overrated by any means; this is what Mango is all about. Giulietta is the albums biggest surprise. Nero E Blu is a medium tempo tune. Profumo d’Amore is astounding. Bella d’Estate as well as many of songs is a short story in miniature. Sirtaki has a gorgeous instrumental sound, which lets Mango’s strong vocals come to the fore. Dove Vai… is one of these floating songs. Nella Mia Citta is the more seemingly obscure song on Dove Vai: Live that bear up best to repeated listening.

On the Croatia charts, superstar Various Artists’s career stalled before it left the starting gate. Various Artists had quite a long carriere and they made many hits. After debuting at No. 1 last week, Various Artists’s album Ampos falls to No. 2 with 507,000, a sales slide of 89%. Ampos constantly brilliant.
Drulco is the more seemingly obscure song on Ampos that bear up best to repeated listening. Music and lyrics of Moblo creates, for me, fertile ground for daydreaming. Trozou - This one is what it is: a powerful, primal invitation to love. In Neku the music gets its power. All of songs on Ampos and have something to say letting alone Ahibbe. I have all of Various Artists’s tracks and Takron is probably the most his introspective effort. From the sound of it, I believe the song can be a big radio hit. Rsaa is a nice, innocuous song, and much better than anything Various Artists released so far. |titile| is a sure sign of something most of us are experiencing, maturity. Music of Some Gods is gentle, never overbearing.

This album has some very good songs like Bathysphere and Wild Love. IF YOU LIKE ALL Smog’S SONG GO FOR IT! Wild Love isn’t so much a record, as a great effort at dragging you into another world. Lots of variety between tracks. My favorite is Wild Love
This track is nearly perfect if not perfect. Sweet Smog Children is flawed, nonetheless pretty good song. Bathroom Floor is possibly the most mysterious and inexplicable track Smog ever produced. The Emperor is the funkiest number on the album. I loved Limited Capacity the first time I heard it. Lyrics of It’s Rough are precise and evocative. Sleepy Joe is perfect. The Candle is an underrated song: I like its lyrics and melody a lot. Musically Be Hit is superior to other tracks in Wild Love. Prince Alone In The Studio is beautiful, yet underrated track. Goldfish Bowl - arguably the best track on Wild Love album.

It’s a brave and brilliant refocusing of Bessie Smith energies, virtually a rebirth. While no new Bessie Smith album is in sight, the artist has been road testing new songs during 1995 tour in North America. This disc has all of the essential Bessie Smith classics. Blue Spirit Blues touched my soul like nothing else.
I loved Blue Spirit Blues the first time I heard it. No Bessie Smith song has come close to capturing my attention as Kitchen Man did. Album opener Foolish Man Blues is a bright, upbeat ditty. This is one of those tracks that should not be judged after the first hearing. I like to sing along with Devils Gonna Get You, though I mess up the lyrics sometimes. Send Me To The Lectric Chair - A classic Bessie Smith track. Im Wild At That Thing is filled with very deep emotions that will truly touch your heart. Youve Got To Give Me Some is a excellent sing-along. After about the third Standing In The Rain Blues listen through, I began to believe this song is Bessie Smith’s essence. Simple and heartfelt closing track Hes Got Me Goin closes Blue Spirit Blues on a high note. Do Your Duty is pretty funky and mellow. It took me a little time but I ended up loving Dyin By The Hour. Lock And Key rocked my world when I popped it into my car stereo. Gimme A Pigfoot is an incredible song that has everything it needs to be another favorite track. Take Me For A Buggy Ride is a romantic if not formulaic ditty. I Used To Be Your Sweet Mama - For me, this is the best of the album. A great put together song. The sound of Alexanders Ragtime Band is difficult to describe, as it seems to squirm in a sensual manner, unlike anything ever created. This is one hell of a track.

It’s natural for John Williams to take a stab at ‘Main Title’ considering her long-professed love for UB40. This -song debut EP shows the promise that John Williams has. After seeing Main Title, I had to have a good John Williams cd. Lots of variety between tracks. My favorite is Schoolboys or Cowboys
This is one of those tracks that should not be judged after the first hearing. I can’t stop humming along Learning the Ropes. Wild Horses pretty much defines how I feel spiritually. This track is just a stunning masterpiece. Strong percussion and poignant lyrics of this track really gets under your skin. The song feels complete. It’s very catchy and easy to get into which is what you want in a song. Overture is an incredible song that has everything it needs to be another favorite track. Bedtime Story is one of the best records ever. I love the melodic melody of Rustlers and to this day it makes me feel good. Stealing Back the Heard - For me, this is the best of the album. Nightfall - I just love it. Sad Day motivates you to get up and do something to improve your life and the life of others. After you’ve listened to Into the Trap, most everything else can’t hold up and is second rate. This is the kind of song I think of when I think of John Williams. Summer’s Over to me is the best you can get from John Williams.

On Threesicksteez Tape (cd1) album, Looptroop have renewed their membership in the ‘if it ain’t broke…’ school of songwriting. Last Hot Album by Looptroop
The song Intro ending is my favorite… so catchy! Poetry Sessions is a cool, simple song by Looptroop at the top of his game. Some call On Trial from Threesicksteez Tape (cd1) as a quiet invitation of an artist to sit and listen. In Cosmic Supremacy (feat. Supreme) you won’t find any flashy solos. This is probably my favorite song on the album. Although I prefer the faster paced music, I think Snot Noses is my favorite song on Threesicksteez Tape (cd1). This track is just fantastic from start to finish. Voice and instruments in 071-Back To Da Lab (By Phone) complement each other.

It’s a brave and brilliant refocusing of Hardcore - Various Artists energies, virtually a rebirth. It is very deep stuff - very exciting
Higher Love (Bertocucci Feranzano & Dj Buzz Fuzz) to me is the best you can get from Hardcore - Various Artists. Words (Network) - Check out that bassline! Lyrics of It’s Gonna Be A Fine Night (Micado) are precise and evocative. Hardcore - Various Artists sings Do What You Like (The Rezerection Anthem) (Scott Brown) in such a comforting, confident voice that you can’t help but be moved.

There is so much to love about Anthrax, starting with incredible harmonies, songwriting chops and stellar stage presence. When you buy a Anthrax album, you know exactly what you’re getting! Now signed to Anthrax’s Sparrow Records, the title track from second album “Stomp 442″ leads Anthrax’s back-to-school campaign. Anthrax is one of my favourite bands of all time.

Riding Shotgun great lyrics, dark, deep, angry and cool.I’ve found myself listening to Perpetual Motion back to back and back many times. In A Zone as a highlight of Stomp 442 contains a ton of exquisite melodies. One listen to the sheer beauty of Nothing was all I needed. American Pompeii is a very good song maybe surprisingly better than you at first might’ve imagined. Drop The Ball gives good insight into the truths. After about the third Tester listen through, I began to believe this song is Anthrax’s essence. Bare is really the reason why I recommend buying Stomp 442.

This is one of the best cd’s i have heard through the whole thing.
In You Don’t Even Try Merle Haggard spins a tale you want to hear to the end. This song has very few things relative to that of it’s predecessor. Life In Prison is an upbeat song with a constant snare hit. Once you hear You Don’t Have Far To Go, you will listen to it over and over. Sam Hill is the funkiest number on the album. When listening to Sam Hill, it gives me such an energy rush it’s unbelievable. Please Mr. D.J. - Well, here we get a bit more meaning. I’d Trade All Of My Tomorrows sets the tone for the entire album. I find myself hearing bits of (My Friends Are Gonna Be) Strangers here and there throughout my waking hours. Slowly But Surely (& Bonnie Owens) - another great track from the Untamed Hawk CD1 album. As always, Merle Haggard’s lyrics are worth listening to again and again. So Much For Me So Much For You (& Bonnie Owens) one is one of the better boring ones. There is excellent mix of music in Falling For You. I Wanta Live Again is a song that will not reduce you to tears but leave you thinking long after Untamed Hawk CD1 have ended. A House Without Love Is Not A Home is a medium tempo tune. Such hits like Walking The Floor Over You will leave you hooked. The Worst Is Yet To Come is such a gorgeous and optimistic song that things can get just better. Piedras Negras (Go Home) is probably one of Merle Haggard’s biggest successes for the album - it’s lovely to listen to. Singin’ My Heart Out is Merle Haggard’s best work in years. It’s such an underrated song. Falling For You (Without String Overdub) is almost impossible to review. I’d Trade All Of My Tomorrows (Without String Overdub) hits the heart. If I Had Left It Up To You is a amazing song and it grows on you. I’m Gonna Break Every Heart I Can is the more seemingly obscure song on Untamed Hawk CD1 that bear up best to repeated listening. Stranger In My Arms (& Bonnie Owens) is flawed, nonetheless pretty good song. Merle Haggard emotions are reflected through If I Could Be Him. Music of Shade Tree (Fix-It-Man) is gentle, never overbearing. I now have This Town’s Not Big Enough as one of my personal favorites.

In Textured full palet of sound is used by Beaumont Hannant and Lida Husik to accentuate the presentation. Now I’m Older, Silver Girl - Beaumont Hannant and Lida Husik first major hit. Music and lyrics of Gregory Peck creates, for me, fertile ground for daydreaming. Starburst 7 is a exquisite sing-along.

eleven years ago, Delerium briefly lived up to their terrific name, with an insanely addictive hit single called “Duende”. There is no doubt that Delerium has talent. There is so much to love about Delerium, starting with incredible harmonies, songwriting chops and stellar stage presence. Karma is the best essence of Delerium.
Delerium is one of artists that allow his songs like Duende to stand on their own and be heard. Twilight is maybe the best thing the group’s ever done. This track is a great song that still never gets old. The song feels complete. Opening track Lamentation shows the best of Delerium. Music in Euphoria is marvelous as in all tracks of Karma. Remembrance is just a great song and one well worth taking the time to give it a good listen. Wisdom - This happy song is an ode to optimism and an anthem. This song is like perfectly aged vintage bordeaux wine not a tequila shot. ‘Til The End Of Time is amazing work of Delerium.

Rock - Various Artists’s debut, ‘Refused Loves Randy’, does not fit easily into one genre. There is no doubt that Rock - Various Artists has talent. Self-described as Rock: Punk-Rock with lots of words, Rock - Various Artists comes out swinging on perhaps his best album to date. IF you love Rock - Various Artists, ‘Refused Loves Randy’ Mp3’s is the best!
It is succeeded by an outstanding track, however: Pump the brakes (Randy), which shows, blatantly, how much Rock - Various Artists has evolved as a singer. Charming song, great melody. Strong, powerful vocals of Rock - Various Artists in Re-fused (Randy) are very impressive.

I Won’t Burn Alone isn’t so much a record, as a great effort at dragging you into another world. There is so much to love about White Skull, starting with incredible harmonies, songwriting chops and stellar stage presence. Stanley Donwood has compared writing for White Skull’s new album to that on ‘I Won’t Burn Alone’ - but has declared the lyrics will be even more terrifying. White Skull “I Won’t Burn Alone” is an amazing album.
No White Skull song has come close to capturing my attention as Save The Planet did. Although The Train is very melodic it is far from sad. It’s a great pleasure to listen to Hey Boy from the beginning to the end. It’s very catchy and easy to get into which is what you want in a song. I Won’t Burn Alone is one of the best records ever. Some call Nasty from I Won’t Burn Alone as a quiet invitation of an artist to sit and listen. Mama is a great song for a cosy night in when it’s cold and wintry outside. Someone Call It Love has a gorgeous instrumental sound, which lets White Skull’s strong vocals come to the fore. Don’t judge In The Age Of Unreason on the first listening. Music of Living On The Highway is gentle, never overbearing. Pray is filled with very deep emotions that will truly touch your heart. When I listen to Because I in my car when traffic ain’t going so good.

Jim Jones has compared writing for Frank Zappa’s new album to that on ‘Strictly Commercial’ - but has declared the lyrics will be even more terrifying. Since Frank Zappa last CD (Strictly Commercial) on Columbia Records back in 1995, I have felt a massive void in my life. This is the first studio album from Frank Zappa since bad diagnosis in 1995. Enjoy the show.
I listened to the opening track Don’t Eat the Yellow Snow and liked it a lot. Dancin’ Fool which is my favorite is a truly Frank Zappa sounding song. Some call San Ber’dino from Strictly Commercial as a quiet invitation of an artist to sit and listen. Dirty Love is one of those songs that will put you in a good mood. My Guitar Wants to Kill Your Mama is a perfect sing-along. Cosmik Debris is a song you cannot help but think about at odd moments in your day. Trouble Every Day - This happy song is an ode to optimism and an anthem. Strong, powerful vocals of Frank Zappa in Disco Boy are very impressive. Fine Girl is the funkiest number on the album. It’s a great pleasure to listen to Sexual Harassment in the Workplace from the beginning to the end. Vocal harmonies in this track are great and song structure is just right. Such hits like I’m the Slime will leave you hooked. Joe’s Garage - My least favorite song on this album. This track is clearly meant to showcase Frank Zappa’s vocal abilities. Song Montana is actually a funny song. Valley Girl is worth the money. A unique and uplifting song. Muffin Man as well as many of songs is a short story in miniature.

On Mort Aux Vaches - Locomotive Breath album, Merzbow have renewed their membership in the ‘if it ain’t broke…’ school of songwriting. For older fans Mort Aux Vaches - Locomotive Breath will put a massive smile accross your face. After seeing Intercity 215, I had to have a good Merzbow cd. This album is a scorcher!
Verocity World is a song that will not reduce you to tears but leave you thinking long after Mort Aux Vaches - Locomotive Breath have ended. Abstract Ear is one of the more up-tempo songs on Mort Aux Vaches - Locomotive Breath.

This is one of the best Cd’s The Shamen has dropped to date. Now signed to The Shamen’s Savoy Records, the title track from second album “Heal (the saparation) EP” leads The Shamen’s back-to-school campaign. This is the first studio album from The Shamen since bad diagnosis in 1995. Lots of variety between tracks. My favorite is Move Any Mountain ‘95(live)@ T
Move Any Mountain ‘95(live)@ T is one of the best records ever. Boss Drum - Lion Rock Dub is a bit of a show-tune. Phorever People-todd terry is the most memorable and cool. Simply the finest work ever from this multi-talented singer.

Since Psychic TV last CD (Beauty From Thee Beast - Thee Best Ov Psychic Tv and Genesis P.orridge - 1995) on Virgin Records back in 1995, I have felt a massive void in my life. Beauty From Thee Beast - Thee Best Ov Psychic Tv and Genesis P.orridge - 1995 constantly brilliant.
Good Vibrations is simply amazing. From the sound of it, I believe the song can be a big radio hit. Godstar is almost impossible to review. Je T’aime has to be one of the most beautiful tracks on the entire album. A great put together song. Eve Ov Destruction without a doubt is the standout song of Beauty From Thee Beast - Thee Best Ov Psychic Tv and Genesis P.orridge - 1995. S.m.i.l.e. is a good listen every once in a while. Nice and different song. Psychic TV rocks harder than ever with Horror House. Back To Reality can be hardly overrated by any means; this is what Psychic TV is all about. Godstar (Hyperdelic Mix) is possibly the most mysterious and inexplicable track Psychic TV ever produced. Re-United Mix 4 rocked my world when I popped it into my car stereo.

After seeing The Highlands, I had to have a good Easy Listening - Various Artists cd. Easy Listening - Various Artists had quite a long carriere and they made many hits. Nowhere is this more so than on their re-working of Easy Listening - Various Artists on ‘The Highlands’. Cool, but I like their other actual stuff better like Relaxing Dreams Vol .4 Landnscape By Rainbow Visions.
The Puszia is nothing short of a modern masterpiece. Easy Listening - Various Artists must have run out of lyrics on the next track The Alps. This song is very powerful, its catchy melody will have you singing along in no time. Alhambra is a good listen every once in a while. Russia is a song that will not reduce you to tears but leave you thinking long after Relaxing Dreams Vol .4 Landnscape By Rainbow Visions have ended. This track is a fabulous selection of easy listening, suitable for any age, taste or occasion. Northern Lights - Well, here we get a bit more meaning.

Dezona - Hands carries a very emotional theme throughout the album. Lead single “Hands” and “Reflection” start with near-whispers before kicking into giddily catchy, fuzz box-driven hollered hooks. Since New Age - Various Artists last CD (Dezona - Hands) on Columbia Records back in 1995, I have felt a massive void in my life. Another great offering from New Age - Various Artists.
Reflection is nothing but pure genius. Five And Dime is the most memorable and cool. I loved Little Nemo the first time I heard it. Drilling For Crude is a very catchy tune. Gozo can be hardly overrated by any means; this is what New Age - Various Artists is all about. Strong, powerful vocals of New Age - Various Artists in Comino are very impressive. Slide Walk stands out to me for its audacious melody and sheer beauty. This track is just a stunning masterpiece. String Race one of the most beautiful songs i’ve ever heard. Easy Blue is an upbeat song with a constant snare hit. Baby Buick is a catchy, up-tempo track that has influence of music streams without leaning too much in that direction.

This is one of the best Cd’s Jalal Zolfonun has dropped to date. Jalal Zolfonun’s debut, ‘Kord Bayat’, does not fit easily into one genre. One of Jalal Zolfonun’s best albums yet.
Saba (Main Section) catches attention immediately, Dobayti (Excerpt) still maintains something of a specific flourish. This song has very few things relative to that of it’s predecessor. Dobayti (Prelude) one is one of the better boring ones. Jalal Zolfonun allows each song to breathe and flourish. Jalal Zolfonun rocks harder than ever with Shur. Layli (First Section) (3:46) - awsome. Layli (Second Section) is, without a doubt, my favorite song, ever. After few listenings I started to like Shahrashub more and more. Hud Hud - A nice song. I can’t stop playing Oshshaq.

Musically Lava is superior to other tracks in Wir. Deep is probably the most interesting track on Wir. Some of the arrangements found on Wir are surprisingly edgy. Sunset is possibly the most mysterious and inexplicable track Marusha ever produced. Marusha breathes new life into the music in Secret. Unique is just a great song and one well worth taking the time to give it a good listen. Other tracks are good but your best bet is to stick with Hopper. Adjust - I used to hate this song, but now it’s one of my favorites. Vermilion is flawed, nonetheless pretty good song.

Negatron isn’t so much a record, as a great effort at dragging you into another world. Voivod is one of my favourite bands of all time.
Project X (4:49) a good melody. Nanoman on Negatron is solid and easy to listen to. Reality? is one of the best records ever. I can’t stop playing Negatron. Voivod is one of artists that allow his songs like Planet Hell to stand on their own and be heard. Meteor is absolutely incredible. Cosmic Conspiracy - This one makes me want to not only sing along. Bio-TV is another favourite of mine. I loved Drift the first time I heard it. I think DNA (Don’t No Anything) is the best song Voivod has ever done.

Since Marc Almond last CD (Adored And Explored) on Savoy Records back in 1995, I have felt a massive void in my life. ‘Adored And Explored’ kicks the album off with a blast of pure pop energy. Marc Almond was a flawless and timeless record. Not surprising from Marc Almond and Adored And Explored together. If I may, I suggest “Adored and Explored (7” edit)”. That one song is amazing!
Opening track Adored and Explored (beatmaste…) shows the best of Marc Almond. Adored and Explored (andy meec…) is a song to savor, to listen to from every angle. Adored and Explored (x press 2…) is simple, dignified and effective, Marc Almond refusing to over-emote, and demonstrating that less is more. Adored and Explored (kung fu m…) is sonically very melodic with nice haunting verses.

Nowhere is this more so than on their re-working of Martina McBride on ‘Wild Angels’. Such great and happy songs.

The sound in Swingin’ Doors is really warm and Martina McBride’s signature voice is still very much present. All The Things We’ve Never Done is one of the coolest songs Martina McBride has ever recorded. Two More Bottles Of Wine (3:16) Not one of my favorites, but for a lot of people this is one of their best songs. Awesome song is really all that you can say about it. You’ve Been Driving All The Time - I just love it. Martina McBride allows each song to breathe and flourish. Listening to Beyond The Blue you can hear that Martina McBride has still amazing chemistry with band members.

This compilation contains all of the biggest hits by John Tesh. John Tesh had quite a long carriere and they made many hits. Sax On The Beach is the best essence of John Tesh.
It’s a great pleasure to listen to I Keep Forgettin’ (Every Time You’re Near) from the beginning to the end. In Your Eyes is the albums lead single as well as biggest hit. The Way It Is is worth the money. Some of the arrangements found on Sax On The Beach are surprisingly edgy. September is a song you cannot help but think about at odd moments in your day. John Tesh sings his heart out in Synchronicity Ii. I’ll Be Over You is a romantic if not formulaic ditty. Although I prefer the faster paced music, I think Biggest Part Of Me is my favorite song on Sax On The Beach. After about the third Message In A Bottle listen through, I began to believe this song is John Tesh’s essence. Piano In The Dark is flawed, nonetheless pretty good song. Can You Feel The Love Tonight is probably the most interesting track on Sax On The Beach.

Rainbow In The Sky (DJ Paul Elstak) is the albums biggest surprise. It’s very catchy and easy to get into which is what you want in a song. I now have Right Here (No Velocity) as one of my personal favorites. It’s A Dream (Short Dream Remix (Los Pablos) is a perfect, simple song by Hardcore - Various Artists at the top of his game. Show Me Love (Citadel Of Kaos Featuring Dave Ja) stands out to me for its audacious melody and sheer beauty. Keep It Up (Nina Feranzano & Buzz Fuzz) is perfect. This track is clearly meant to showcase Hardcore - Various Artists’s vocal abilities. Everytime I Think Of You (Wicked Dimension) is a song that takes you on the journey before it reaches the conclusion. In Please Don’t Go (Ferocious) it becomes nowhere more obvious that Hardcore - Various Artists has yet to define own style. Ride To The Rythm (Radio Mix; Cixx) is a song you cannot help but think about at odd moments in your day. It’s a great pleasure to listen to C’Mon And Touch Me (Rave Religion) from the beginning to the end. XTC Love (Radio Mix 1; Bertocucci Feranzano) is flawed, nonetheless pretty good song. Dance To Da Bells (D-Jumpmaster) is amazing work of Hardcore - Various Artists. One of the more genuine-sounding songs is Breakdown (The Prophet & DJ Delirium). Drop It (Happy Mix; 3 Steps Ahead) is Hardcore - Various Artists’s best work in years.

I like Guns (Are For Pussies) because it’s extremely catchy and has awesome drumming. Misdirected Hostility gets you up and jumping. Purpose motivates you to get up and do something to improve your life and the life of others. In Loco 311 is at his best. Brodels - a classic song. Don’t Stay Home is a very good song maybe surprisingly better than you at first might’ve imagined. Dlmd is a nice, innocuous song, and much better than anything 311 released so far.

After about the third Fading Shades (Part II) listen through, I began to believe this song is Sandra’s essence.
