Bob Dylan: John Wesley Harding        (2 of 5 found this review helpful)
  October 15, 2005

This one's plain vanilla, folks. The instrumentation is sparse, with just Dylan's acoustic guitar & harmonica, electric bass and drums. The only real standouts are "All Along The Watchtower" (natch!), and "I'll Be Your Baby Tonight"--the other tunes are quite pedestrian, especially when compared to ... more

Björk: Medulla (Limited Edition)        (3 of 3 found this review helpful)
  August 5, 2005

I don't have a whole lot to add to the previous reviews of this, but as with Nine Inch Nails "The Downward Spiral", this almost all-vocal SA-CD is an intriguing mix of high and low-fidelity tracks used for a very unconventional listening experience: whenever you are tired of your 'normal' music ... more
