Thought provoking and inspirational
I really like this song. As ever Mary Mary came up with the best contemporary gospel music that will speak to the younger generation. With so may negative influences out there in the music industry, Mary Mary are refreshing, and amazingly they get a lot of radio play.
Thank you Mary Mary…
Another Mary Mary inspirational hit…this song has the right blend of spiritual lyrics and modern beats. God is in all of us if you seek it.
Go MARYMARY
Mary Mary caught my attention when the song “Shackles (Praise You)” dropped. I love their gospel music w/comtemporary touch–Music feels good and the message is still there. Do your thing ladies. It’s the God In Me that sees the God In You.
Warmest Regards,
TLT

Awesome single
After listening to this song once, I can’t get it out of my head. It’s a really catchy and radio-friendly song with a great message. I can’t wait for the rest of the album!
A great start to a stellar new career
This song is showing a little rockier, edgier side of Kris, and I love it! It is destined to be a hit. And how wonderful that such a nice young man came out with such a great message song. A welcome relief from the angst and woe that is often out there. Buy this for yourself and for many friends and family.
Great music
I agree with the point that this song is catchy. I loved it the minute I first heard it. As far as sticking with The Script’s version, Kris is brilliant at song selection. He’s smart enough to leave it alone if it’s good and add his own signature to it at the same time. He makes it Kris’ song as a result. I had never heard of the Irish band, The Script, before Kris released this song. I heard that the song was previously only released as a B side in Germany. This is great music with a great message. No doubt, The Script will increase in popularity, too, as a result of this release.

Shinedown has returned…
I have been a huge fan of this band since I first heard “Fly From the Inside” on the radio, and still hope that “Us and Them” goes platinum one day like “Leave a Whisper” did. I have been highly anticipating this album since I heard Devour for the first time on the radio. The whole time I was listening to it, the thought “This band seems familiar” kept running through my head. I googled the lyrics and thought, “Yeah, that makes sense…it was a great song.”
This album is phenomenal. I don’t know why I was surprised, Shinedown has never disappointed. True, “Us and Them” has some songs I tend to skip over (What were they thinking with “Atmosphere”?), but all in all it’s an awesome album that I’ve listened to hundreds of times through.
Once again, they have changed their sound. While their first album was calculated with meticulous attention to detail, chord progressions, lyrical content, and a passionate singing style, and heavy overall, and their second album was much more radio friendly while still maintaining a truth and vitality that is lacking in much of today’s music, with several ballads that blow you away whenever you hear them, this album breaks through new boundaries.
It is true that much of the album is radio friendly, but in this case that’s a positive thing. They aren’t going anywhere for a while, which is good. However, they’ve brought back much of the musical aptitude that was missing on their second album and combined it with some interesting choices as far as melody are concerned. Let’s break down the songs, one by one.
1 – Devour (9/10): This song kicks off the album with intensity. It is unlike anything they’ve ever done, and while it’s similar to the style of other modern bands out there, it still seems to have some signature Shinedown flare to it. That may be Brent’s singing, or the intricate guitar work. Either way, it’s a great song.
2 – Sound of Madness (10/10): One of my favorites on the album, the chorus is like a lesson in lyrical creativity, and the guitar riff is, how shall I say…”rollicking”, to say the least. It’s hard not to bob your head to this song when it’s on, and I love singing along.
3 – Second Chance (8/10): While it’s lyrically interesting, it sounds to me like a throwback to “Us and Them”, which had several songs with similar chord progressions and verse-chorus formulas. That either makes it signature Shinedown, or a disappointment, and on an album of this caliber I tend to lean toward the latter. That’s not to say I don’t love it, which I do (8 out of 10 is a great score from me), but it’s sounds like “been there, done that.”
4 – Cry For Help (8/10): When I first heard this song, I thought back to Oleander’s “Joyride”, which this is reminiscent of. Another rocker, that is great on this album, but not the best one on here. Still, I’m very glad to see Shinedown embrace this type of music. They’ve never really done anything like this. All the songs on their first album that were “rockers” were hard rockers, more like Nu-Metal, not like this. This is true rock, which is awesome.
5 – The Crow and the Butterfly (9/10): I love this song. Another song that sounds like it’s from “Us and Them”, but it’s just so good I don’t care. The lyrics are good, too, and I can almost visualize the girl slowly moving away from Brent’s outstretched hands when he’s singing. It’s just a powerful song with some really cool chords thrown in.
6 – If You Only Knew (9/10): This is another song that’s pretty much awesome. However, I do like the verses better than the chorus, which gets kind of generic as far as lost love songs go. The beginning is my favorite part, though, along with the part at the end of the chorus that goes, “The only thing that I still believe in is you.” It’s another lyric that is sung with meaning behind it, and it makes the song for me.
7 – Sin With a Grin (10/10): Another favorite on the album, another rocker that I love to sing along to as it blasts in my car. I also love the message of just getting pissed off. The bridge is also an interesting musical turn for the band, trying something new with new and interesting ways of singing and playing their instruments. This is an example of the thing I find everywhere on this album, musical experimentation which is new to them, but not necessarily new in general.
8 – What a Shame (9/10): Another great signature Shinedown ballad. The chorus just grabs you, both lyrically and musically, and again Brent’s voice makes me weep when he start belting out his true feelings. Just a great overall song.
9 – Cyanide Sweet Tooth Suicide (8/10): Another rocker. I feel that a lot of bands write songs with “suicide” in the title for no real reason, so I have a hard time liking them. This one is pretty good, as they go, but at the end of the album it seems to lose the steam gathered by the other rockers.
10 – Breaking Inside (8/10): The first few times I listened to this song, I really thought it was pretty generic. However, just like their first album, the more I listen to it the more I like it. It’s got a very cool sounding melody behind the verses, and the chorus, though generic, is catchy as hell, and once again Brent’s voice makes it stand out as amazing. Man I love this band.
11 – Call Me (9/10): I absolutely love this song. It’s so simple, and yet the violin, the piano, and Brent’s voice just take you away, and you really feel what he is feeling the whole time. There are no words to describe the song, except to say that it’s pretty, very pretty. Remember the first time you heard “.45″? That’s what this song feels like.
Overall, it’s a fantastic album with no filler tracks. I can definitely start at the beginning and listen all the way through without skipping any tracks, which is a rarity these days. The only album to rival it so far this year would be Disturbed’s “Indestructible”, which is also awesome (see my review).
My CD player is broken….this CD won’t eject!!!!
This album is easily my favorite of the three Shinedown releases. I really liked Leave a Whisper, I accepted Us and Them for what it was, but THIS…..THIS is what I hoped for from Shinedown. The musicianship, the lyrics, the passion with which they’re sung….it’s all here. And, the more I listen to it, the more I like it. If you even only partly liked Leave a Whisper, you will LOVE this album. I’ve not taken it out of the player since I got it, and I get bored with music pretty easily.
I missed them when they were on tour last time….and I’m not going to make that same mistake again.
Best CD I’ve bought in a long time!
I’ve heard the song “Sound of Madness” on the radio the other day and had decided to check out the cd when I get home. Thanks to amazon.com cd sampler, I realized that I knew quite a few songs on it. Now that I’ve got the cd in my car cd player, it can repeat itself and I don’t even have to skip a song. I sometimes rotate my cd selection in the car, but this one is being added to my permanent stock.

A Tip For My Push Scooters
Scooters are found in every cities and towns as cheap and fast method of travel and commuting. Scooters are produced by almost all the major motorcycle companies in different styles. But what are the push scooters?
Kick scooters or push scooters have caused real fashion trends in the urban environment where the possibility to use a small platform on wheels that you propel by pushing off the ground is more than just appealing. Usually made of aluminum and with the possibility to fold, push scooters are made not only for children, but for teens and adults alike. Push scooters can have more than two wheels and the aluminum is replaced by plastic in some designs.
Push scooters began their popularity ascent at the end of the 90s, when a folding version of the traditional kick scooter was created by the Swiss, Wim Ouboter. A few years later, mass production of folding aluminum push scooters was started by Razor in the US, Europe and Japan. The most famous producers of push scooters at present include Micro and Razor, but these companies mainly target children and young adults interested in the urban trend of informal traveling.
When designed for adult usage, push scooters have special incorporated features and use more special and durable materials. Thus, the decks are longer and wider, the wheels are larger and there are hand brakes included. The size of the standing adult is the relevant criterion for the mass production of larger push scooters, and so far, these feet-powered vehicles have registered very encouraging sales. It looks really cool to use a push scooter and travel in crowded urban areas where the ground traffic is infernal.
Besides the folding push scooters, there are models with larger wheels that are especially designed for utility purposes. Some such items move faster than the folding version and some even correspond to off road conditions. In this category of street kick scooters we ought to mention producers such as Diggler, Sidewalker or Kickbike. Some of these manufacturers have a pretty lengthy history in the production of items for commuting, road use and sports competitions.
A new category of push scooters entered the market in 2006, when a company called Nextsport started the production of a four-wheel scooter they named Fuzion. This kind of push scooters are bigger and heavier than the Razor and Micro products, but their stability is amazing and the spinning capabilities of the handlebar could prove highly useful. Free-stylers will often use this kind of push scooters, and acrobatic performance as well as stunts are more than usual in freestyle communities.

A Tasty Sampler
It’s impossible to fit all of Elton John’s hits from 1970-2002 into a two-disc compilation, even with the addition of a third bonus disc. During the seventies, the songwriting team of Elton John and Bernie Taupin had the Midas touch. Wisely, the first disc of this collection covers their heyday from 1970-1976. The song selection is superb, balancing hit singles with essential album tracks. “Your Song” was Elton’s first hit and the obvious choice for starting this collection. “Tiny Dancer” peaked at number 41 and, amazingly, “Candle In The Wind” wasn’t even released as a single. Being among two of Elton’s best and most recognizable songs, they rightly appear on the first disc. “Island Girl” is a lightweight song that is not well remembered, but was included because it hit number one on the charts! On the other hand, Elton’s excellent version of “Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds” hit number one, but must have been excluded because it was a cover version of a Beatles’ song.
Like the import CD “The Very Best Of Elton John,” the second disc starts off with Elton’s number one song with Kiki Dee, “Don’t Go Breaking My Heart.” Whereas that previous collection only went up to 1990, this disc goes up to 2001. It’s great to have “Can You Feel The Love Tonight?” and “Circle Of Life” from the Lion King, as well as “Written In The Stars” from Aida, on an Elton John compilation. However, I would have included them on the bonus disc to make room for other worthy songs from his regular albums, such as “Nobody Wins,” “Blue Eyes,” “Empty Garden (Hey Hey Johnny)” and “Healing Hands,” to name a few. The second disc closes out on a strong note with the two best songs from Elton’s last album, namely the Lennonesque “I Want Love” and the autobiographical “This Train Don’t Stop There Anymore.”
The limited edition, bonus disc is another reason for buying this collection. It has Elton’s live version of “Candle In The Wind,” which peaked at number 6, and his duet with George Michael on “Don’t Let The Sun Go Down On Me,” which hit number one. “Live Like Horses” is an interesting curiosity, being a duet with Luciano Pavarotti. The last song on the bonus disc was recorded in 2002. It is Elton’s duet with Alessandro Safina on “Your Song.” Thus, Elton’s greatest hits comes full circle, including an incredible selection of fantastic songs in-between the two versions of “Your Song.”
Some notable omissions but a darn fine collection anyway
Yes I realize there is always considerable consternation among collectors about the plethora of “Best of” and “Greatest Hits” packages that are put on the market every year. Some artists simply don’t warrant a “Greatest Hits” collection while the music of more important and prolific performers is constantly being repackaged. But if you are someone like me “Elton John Greatest Hits 1970-2002″ is a fine value. This collection replaces 3 previous vinyl “Greatest Hits” albums I now own. I will be keeping those vinyl LP’s for the tunes that were not included in this particular package.
I must say that Universal has done an outstanding job with the series of anthologies they have released in the past couple of years. This collection offers up 34 of Elton Johns’ biggest and best. There is no doubt that everyone will probably quibble about a few of the tracks that were included as well as those that failed to make the cut. But overall, I am quite pleased with this one. Just about all the big ones you would expect to find are included. Among the hits that did not make it are 1979’s soulful “Mama Can’t Buy You Love” and 2 hits from 1982 “Empty Garden (Hey Hey Johnny)” and the wonderful “Blue Eyes”. The collection comes in a very attractive package that includes a nicely done 40 page booklet. One of the unique features of the booklet is a fold-out section showing all 41 album covers from Elton Johns’ fabulous career. The remastering on these tracks is also first rate. Again, if the price of this collection was $29.99 I would be much more critical. But the price is quite reasonable for a collection you are sure to enjoy for years to come. Highly recommended.
Stunningly Comprehensive
There’s not many artists that have as much as success or that have lasted as long as Elton John has. While not perfect, this album, Greatest Hits 1970-2002, isn’t far from it.
The thick booklet contains many pictures of the artist himself and a nice biography of Elton John’s music career. Included in this biography are such things as what many of the songs mean and how he and his songwriter, Bernie Taupin, met and bonded through the years musically.
As good as the booklet is, it’s not half as great as the music that is encaptured on the two discs in this collection. From the first song of disc one to the last song of disc two, the songs are all in chronological order, all the way from the beginning of the 70’s to the ones from recent times. The first disc is as classic as classic can be. From the love songs such as “Your Song”, “Tiny Dancer”, and “Candle In The Wind”, to upbeat rockers like “Crocodile Rock” and “Saturday Night’s Alright for Fighting”, to just plain timeless hits with the likes of “Goodbye Yellow Brick Road” and “Philadelphia Freedom”, the first disc covers six years (1970-1976) of musical greatness.
The second disc may not be quite as strong, but it’s almost as great and just as essential. With it you have great more great songs from the late seventies (“Don’t Go Breaking My Heart” (With Kiki Dee) and “Little Jeannie”), the eighties (“Sad Songs (Say So Much)”, “I Guess That’s Why They Call It The Blues”, etc.), and more recent, more underrated pop hits such as “Blessed” and “This Train Don’t Stop Here Anymore.” Of course, everything in-between such as “The One”, “Sacrifice”, and the two major Lion King hits are also here to be heard at anytime you please.
With a two-disc compilation that includes not only the great hits that almost any classic rock and adult contemporary radio listener can still hear played these days, but also the more hard to find essentials (“Levon”, “Island Girl”, “Believe”, etc.), how can you go wrong with purchasing this compilation called Elton John Greatest Hits 1970-2002 that barely costs more than a normal single-disc album? The answer is that you can’t! There’s also an extra compact disc that has the songs, “Candle In The Wind (Live)”, “Don’t Let The Sun Go Down on Me” (With George Michael), “Live Like Horses” (With Luciano Pavarotti), and “Your Song” (With Alessandro Safina) to make it even more worthy of your purchase.
Yeah, of course there are a few great songs that didn’t find their way onto this compilation, such as “Blue Eyes”, “Healing Hands”, and more. One I would’ve really liked to have on the album is “Club At The End of The Street”. Nonetheless, this is by far the best Elton John compilation that has ever been made so far. It’s surprisingly comprehensive and it’s cheap, making it a worthwhile sampler for any casual fan. Get it now, while you can!
