.Parachutes (W/1 Hidden Track)
City Travel Guides > Music > Music
by: Coldplay

September 19, 2000
Not many bands can come up with such a strong debut album, but Coldplay managed it with ease. Full of good songs (3 or 4 outstanding songs), it contains many beautiful moments that leave deep and meaningful imprints.

Simple arrangements, gorgeous melodies, unselfish musicianship and good singing combine to produce superb songs such as 'Trouble', 'Yellow', 'Don't Panic', 'High Speed' and the very pretty 'Parachutes'. Easy listening it may be, but so are many of The Beatles best loved songs.

Coldplay will always have detractors because of their enormous (& well deserved) success, but it's plainly unreasonable after just a quick listen to this gem of an album.

.Little Voice
City Travel Guides > Music > Music
by: Sara Bareilles

September 04, 2007
She is a musician with that rare combination of ability, taste and sensitivity.
An intensely emotional collection of songs delivered in a soulful manner with polished production and arrangement.
The sumptuous and shivering "Love On The Rocks" shows just what a remarkable talent Sara is.
This is a belt'n'braces album, content to relay its themes of love.
Each time she starts a song, there's no need to impress with technique : just a direct, immediate expression of the core emotion.
The cd is far from sedentary as arrangements and awesome sonics enliven the doleful princess of piano-playing singer-songwriters.
Standout tracks : "Fairytale", "Love On The Rocks" and "Love Song".

by: Michael Buble

May 01, 2007
Michael Buble has delivered two major hits in the #1 Adult Contemporary single, Everything and has followed up with an equally impressive hit in the song, Lost. This album is amazing. Michael Buble delivers with this album.

.Yael Naim

by: Yael Naim

February 26, 2008
Like many people, I got this album because of the MacBook Air laptop ad featuring the track "New Soul", which is already released as a single. Yael Naim is a French artiste now living in Israel, and the tracks are in Hebrew, French and English.

She has a distinctive singing voice, and specializes in sultry jazzy numbers, sometimes with a folksy lilt. The song of the album is of course "New Soul", and there's an unusual, unexpected and very strange interpretation of "Toxic", originally sung by Britney Spears.

Other tracks to note are:

"Paris" - sung in Hebrew and French, which translated is an ode to her favorite city.

"Too Long" - a plaintive song in English where she sings "I waited for so long ... Read More:

.Famous Last Words

October 30, 2007
A huge step forward from their debut cd. 'For The Nights I Can't Remember' is worth the price of this cd alone; I can't remember the last time I fell in love with a song THIS quickly (and for all you music lovers, it's written in 3/4 time!!) Pick it up; You will love it!

.Weezer (Red Album)
City Travel Guides > Music > Music
by: Weezer

June 03, 2008


Although weaned on prog-metal, educated in classical music at Harvard, and once viewed as a representative of the indie rock set, Weezer's Rivers Cuomo prefers to write simple music that can be easily enjoyed by a mass audience. It was one of many elements that defined him in the beginning, on his band's hugely popular 1994 self-titled debut (The Blue Album), if one of few remaining characteristics defining his music today.

Following poor initial sales of the record's follow-up, the more introspective cult hit Pinkerton, Cuomo famously retreated from the public eye. Over the next five years, the band would remain silent, cultivating goodwill and an ever-growing army of fans. But most of that goodwill has deteriorated since their re-emergence ... Read More:

This album has a freshly awesome sound, its got electric beats mixed with rock and spacey melodies. Super Fresh sound! And unlike anything I have recently heard. I highly recommend it for people who think its about time we had a musical/spiritual/natural re-evolution.

I will be honest I wanted Hallelujah off of this album. It is fantastic! However this album is also a great choice for anyone who loves Leonard Cohen's songs. K. D.Lang's voice is of course, phenomenal!

.Let It Die
City Travel Guides > Music > Music
by: Feist

May 18, 2004
For people who love Feist, I apoligize. I simply do not think her music lives up to the hype. All her songs seem to teeter on the edge of profound, only to crash back into 'forgettable'. Listening to her music, I am struck by the idea that she dislikes what she does, which is frankly, a little depressing.
