Free Music Notes for Waking Up Laughing
Free Music Review: Beautiful Voice - Depressing Music
Hit: 3 Stars
I've been a Martina fan for a long time, and I've always been very proud of her social awareness songs. "Independence Day" and "Concrete Angel" for example - these move you and motivate all of us to be more aware of what happens around us. These songs have come sporadically, and they've been extremely powerful and moving. Until now.
This CD is full of depressing songs. If that was her goal - she's reached it with flying colors. Even the potentially uplifting song, "Beautiful Again" has multiple depressing moments. There isn't a single uplifting, just-for-fun song on this CD.
I listen to Martina's Greatest Hits album on a regular basis. This woman can SING! But this album came to my house on a Monday and was listed for sale here on Amazon two days later. It's simply not what I've come to expect from her.
Free Music Review: Down-Tempo Martina.
Hit: 3 Stars
As always with Martina this is a quality collection. Martina is a lovely lady who has consistently delivered over the last decade and more,but this cd seems a little too down-tempo. Don't get me wrong I like the album, but a little bit of party music among the power ballads would,in my mind, have improved the set. Following the "Timeless" covers collection this whole album seems to be a little too much in the comfort zone. Perhaps Martina should get in a co-producer next time out to bring in a wee bit more variety. As with Alan Jackson's recent cd it's hard to find stand-out tracks here after a single listen,apart from "Anyway" which has been around for 6 or 7 months now.
Don't be put off, this is a good album, I just expected a bit more.
Free Music Review: Hope has a home, but the mix hurts.
Hit: 3 Stars
She may sing of hardship and heartache, but hope also has a home on her hearth. McBride could light a fire under the wettest blanket, and it would still burn brightly. "Anyway" is the lighters-in-the-air anthem. But it's songs like "House of 1,000 Dreams" that really bring home the heartland emotions that color McBride's landscapes. It's a shame that the overall mix of the album mars the presentation. McBride's vocal is dry and out in front of the band, making it sound like she's singing along to the stereo in your living room -- a private concert, but a bit disconcerting.Free Music Review: Tool Too Long
Hit: 3 Stars
I ordered 3 items within an hour from the Amazon marketplace, all from different sellers. 2 of the items got to me in a matter of days. This item took far too long. The book is in the condition promised, but I got tired of waiting for it.Free Music Review: Martina McBride CD
Hit: 3 Stars
I love the CD itself; however, when it arrived, the case was cracked horribly and I was afraid the CD might be damaged. The CD is fine, though.
