Ryan Adams is amazing...

Verified Purchase:Yes
One thing about Ryan Adams is that he is consistent. Every album is slightly different and yet they all sound like a Ryan Adams record. If you love Ryan Adams you will love Prisoner.

Gandaddy is back!
on March 20, 2017

Verified Purchase:Yes
After a 10 year hiatus Grandaddy is back. I love this album. Their last album, Just like the Fambly Cat, felt thrown together, but Last Place sounds just as good as Sumday. It is a very cohesive record and flows from beginning to end. If you expect the Software Slump you aren’t going to get it with this album, but if you love Sumday you will love this album.

Love Hippo Campus
on March 20, 2017
Posted by: Iplayguitar
from Abilene, Texas
Verified Purchase:Yes
I first fell in love with Hippo Campus when I heard Suicide Saturday off the first EP Bashful Creatures. Bashful Creatures sounded a lot like Vampire Weekend… a lot like Vampire Weekend. The South EP felt and sounded like a band that had matured, toured, and that wanted to distance themselves from that comparison, but unlike the smooth sheen of the first EP, South sounded harsh at times. But Landmark is a fully developed mix between the two. They have moved past the VW comparison and really developed a sound that really is unlike anything currently playing. The songs are strong, the lyrics and melodies are memorable, and the mix of the album is smooth. This album is dense at times with lots of dynamics, and yet light and playful. This album is so good and makes me excited for the next one.

Jeff Buckley fans Rejoice!
on May 3, 2016
Posted by: Iplayguitar
from Abilene, Texas
Verified Purchase:Yes
This album is for Jeff Buckley fans. The tracks are not perfect. The songs are covers (with 1 original) that were recorded live in the studio prior to Jeff recording his first album. If you want a polished album go get a copy of Grace by Jeff Buckley. Then, after you digested it, come back to this one!!!

Great Soundtrack...

Verified Purchase:Yes
At the urging of my daughter I bought this movie and instantly fell in love with it and its soundtrack. This soundtrack is so good and even includes Spanish versions of some of the songs. I do wish there were full versions of some of the songs (I Will Wait is edited like it is in the movie) but overall this is a fun album for the whole family.

Band of Horses & Iron and Wine fans rejoice...
on September 25, 2015
Posted by: Iplayguitar
from Abilene, Texas
Verified Purchase:Yes
This album is a great introduction for people out there who do not know about Band of Horses or Iron and Wine. A mostly chill and stripped down album finds both singers complimenting each other with a killer band. The production is great and the song choices are spot on (this is an album of covers). Great late night fire pit record.

Good album but parents beware...
on September 25, 2015
Posted by: Iplayguitar
from Abilene, Texas
Verified Purchase:Yes
I have bought pretty much every NOW album in this series mostly because I can get the hits for my child without buying the full albums and that the songs are generally edited for younger listeners/etc. Most of the songs on NOW 55 follow suit, but the inclusion of Maroon 5's "This is going to Hurt..." definitely is a misstep. Even when they edit out the "F" word you can still hear the word in the background. Don't get me wrong, it is a great song but I feel its not very appropriate for this album. Other than that the album has good songs that will keep you and your kids singing for days...

They say for most people that doing is learning — being told how to do something, or even shown, isn't nearly as effective as jumping right in and giving it a try for yourself. Learning to play the guitar certainly applies to this principle, and hands-on, on-the-go sessions are the most effective way to elevate your skills. Whether you're a novice picking up the guitar for the very first time or an old hand fine-tuning your technique, Rocksmith gets you results fast, by putting the guitar in your hands, plugging into your console and getting the party started. Rocksmith 2014 Edition takes the same proven methods of the original edition and enhances them for a fruitful learning experience that will soon have you riffing with the best of 'em.Newly designed for an enriched, re-imagined experience, Rocksmith 2014 Edition features new menus and in-game interfaces for clear, smooth and blazing-fast learning. Receive feedback and play along with more than 50 hit tracks, from alternative rock to heavy metal to classic rock and more. If you own the original Rocksmith, the 2014 Edition is backward compatible with those songs as well for a rich library of tracks you know and love. Designed for ease and speed, the features are more accessible and flexible than ever, allowing you to select your section, difficulty and speed on-the-fly in the fully customizable Riff Repeater mode. Experience a revamped Master mode that is more approachable to learn songs by memory. When you want to ease the pressure a bit, jump over to the Guitarcade for more than 10 mini games that will help you have fun while honing your skills. Session mode lets you experience the feeling of jamming with a band — choose the combination of instruments you want backing you up and following your lead. Showcase your sickest performance with integrated capture and streaming features, which are exclusive to the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 versions of Rocksmith 2014.

Become engrossed in the learning process with 1080p high-definition graphics that offer improved clarity and visual quality, which make it easier to follow along. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced axe man, there's always something to learn, and Rocksmith 2014 Edition makes it an enjoyable, worthwhile experience.

Lots of Fun!!
on February 16, 2015
Posted by: Iplayguitar
from Abilene, Texas
Verified Purchase:Yes
This game is great for beginners as well as more experienced musicians. Overall the game does a great job at allowing players to become better at guitar. I do believe that you need some experience to play (the learning curve might be a lot for someone with zero experience). We all wish for more songs but I would like more lessons. Also, the game is a lot more fun to play through a stereo or sound bar.
One issue I did find is that when using different pickup configurations the system can misread your notes (that you missed it) when higher up on the neck. I moved my pickup switch to a different position and it corrected the problem.

Same formula. Same Sucessful Album
on December 31, 2014
Posted by: Iplayguitar
from Abilene, Texas
Verified Purchase:Yes
The Now franchise follows a great formula.... take fun and popular songs, place them on an album together, add the newer or less popular songs at the end and you are done. The other reason they are successful is that the albums (for the most part) are safe for the whole family. They remove most of the questionable words and most of the songs subject matters are vague enough to be overlooked by most kids.

Still testing boundaries...
on December 31, 2014
Posted by: Iplayguitar
from Abilene, Texas
Verified Purchase:Yes
Let me first say that I love the Flaming Lips... I do... and I love the Beatles. And I thought that this album would be the a perfect marriage between the two. There are definitely some great moments, but the album is very harsh at times, very soft at times, and very overwhelming at times which makes this album very difficult to listen to while doing anything other than just listening to this album. I know that The Lips are experimental at times, but I wish they had dialed it back a bit, like a Soft Bulletin or Yoshimi or Clouds Taste Metallic take on this album instead of a Zaireeka version. That being said there are some very interesting moments and I enjoyed hearing the guest artists that appear on the album.
