Best Amos album in years
on September 1, 2014
Posted by: CapZylo1
from Salt Lake City, UT
Verified Purchase:Yes
Many critics are calling "Unrepentant Geraldines" Amos' best album in years. While I'd like to spend some more time listening to it, I would agree. She gets back to her roots of piano-centric poetry, exploring complex themes by projecting her siren-like voice. While I'm not as familiar with the album yet, the fact that I'm excited to listen to it more extensively is telling in and of itself.

Wonderful debut from these Scottish talents
on September 1, 2014

Verified Purchase:Yes
I jumped on the CHVRCHES train a little lot, and I regret it. They pound out amazing electronic tunes accompanied by the glowing vocals of frontwoman Lauren Mayberry. Their beats resonate from the beginning to the end of each track, never feeling labored or monotonous. I can't wait for more.

Another solid CD from McLachlan, but not her best
on September 1, 2014
Posted by: CapZylo1
from Salt Lake City, UT
Verified Purchase:Yes
Sarah McLachlan almost singlehandedly convinced me of the power of women songwriters and musicians when I was a young teenager. Her power and emotion oozed off her albums "Solace" and "Fumbling Towards Ecstasy". While that lyrical talent has maintained its level over the years, I feel McLachlan has waned a bit in the emotional department with her last album. "Shine On" continues that disappointing trend.
While there's nothing wrong with a more lighthearted approach to music, I guess it's just my own bias in wanting more dread and angst from her since that's what I grew up with. Still, McLachlan's melodies and lyrics are as smooth and refined as ever, and she makes soft pop seem effortless. She continues to impress and inspire me, even if she no longer fully matches my tastes.

Fantastic electronica album, Heap's best yet
on September 1, 2014
Posted by: CapZylo1
from Salt Lake City, UT
Verified Purchase:Yes
"Sparks" is a fabulous, inventive entry in Imogen Heap's discography, much-welcomed and highly-anticipated after five years of drought following her 2009 release of "Ellipse".
"Sparks" is a collection of songs Heap wrote, each over a three-month period and containing sound samples sent in by her fans. It displays the musical innovation and maturity she has developed over the years. There's everything from soft melodies to Indian chanting, and they all fit perfectly within the flawless flow of the tracklist.
As difficult as it will be to wait another five or so years for another Heap album, "Sparks" will absolutely be a mainstay in my rotation and help tide me over until I can be amazed yet again by her songwriting mastery.

Average rock album, not Rise Againt's best
on September 1, 2014
Posted by: CapZylo1
from Salt Lake City, UT
Verified Purchase:Yes
While I'm always excited to hear new material from Rise Against, "The Black Market" came off as somewhat disappointing. The album does a decent job of maintaining momentum throughout, but I didn't find enough differences between the individual tracks. Even so, the band still manages to get across some catchy melodies and thought-provoking lyrics.

Very mature follow-up to Sheeran's "+"
on September 1, 2014
Posted by: CapZylo1
from Salt Lake City, UT
Verified Purchase:Yes
Great sophomore album from the talented folk/pop artist Ed Sheeran. Much more developed and mature than his previous efforts, which is to be expected but not always achieved by artists in this position. Good variety and versatility of styles throughout the album, from rap to pop to acoustic folk. Well-rounded and worthy of multiple listens.

Not what I expected, a decent indie experience
on March 25, 2014
Posted by: CapZylo1
from Salt Lake City, UT
Verified Purchase:Yes
I saw Ed Sheeran appear as a mentor on NBC's hit reality singing competition The Voice. I recognized his name, but not his music. But then I watched the second Hobbit movie, The Desolation of Smaug, and heard his single "I See Fire" playing during the closing credits. And I was entranced.
Unfortunately, + does not match the intensity and passion of that single - not even a little bit. While Sheeran has a talented singing style, his melodies and lyrics seem terribly mediocre and juvenile.
That said, the album is 2.5 years old, and "I See Fire" shows growth and much more maturity. Sheeran is expected to release his second full-length album some time this year in 2014, and I'm excited to see what it brings.

Solid tunes, heartfelt lyrics, a bit repetitive
on March 25, 2014
Posted by: CapZylo1
from Salt Lake City, UT
Verified Purchase:Yes
A big fan of indie music, I was excited to try out this album by The Lumineers. I had heard a few of their tunes on the radio, but they really caught my attention after seeing them perform on Saturday Night Live.
While a few of the tracks stand out, most fall within a similar pattern of folksy acoustic guitar and choral chattering. And that's not necessarily a bad thing. But seeing as how this is the deluxe edition of the album and includes five additional tracks (and a live version of another), I did find myself becoming a bit fatigued with their tried and true formula by the time I hit the second half of the record.
Even so, the emotion with which they perform and their subtle and solid crooning is still something I enjoy and return to often. And I just can't get enough of that "Stubborn Love".

Fantastic cell phone case, well worth the price

Posted by: CapZylo1

Verified Purchase:Yes
After holding out for many months, my wife finally received a smart phone for Christmas. As you always do with new gadgets, we went shopping for extra protection and accessories.
She actually had her eye on a different brand, but was shocked at the sticker price. However, the Speck brand seemed to sport high quality, eye-catching visual design, at a middle-of-the-road price. So we took a shot - and were not disappointed.
One of the best features is the fact that it has two cases: a softer, more pliable inner case, which surrounds phone and is then placed within a harder, thicker plastic shell. The dual case design allows for better shock absorption, and also allows for a dual color representation.
Overall, this is definitely the case to get. We love it.

One of the best games currently available for PS4
on January 18, 2014
Posted by: CapZylo1
from Salt Lake City, UT
Verified Purchase:Yes
Even though the PS4 has excellent potential and is a technical powerhouse, the list of titles available at launch were extremely limited. And amongst those few games, even fewer stood out as worthwhile or marked departures from the existing generation of consoles.
Need For Speed: Rivals is a welcome exception. Developed by Criterion, the award-winning studio behind excellent car and racing franchises such as Burnout, Rivals portrays the best features of the racing genre without the monotony or steep learning curve that some of the other franchises exhibit. The player is able to choose which side they play on: the police, or the vigilante. Each side has different sets of cars and power-ups to choose from, offering wide variety and high replay value.
The graphics show the initial capability of the powerful PS4, with breathtaking lighting and shadows and engaging textures. The environments are vivid and breathing, and driving around Redview County couldn't be more thrilling.
Even with these positive features, the game's writing and dialogue does not live up to its fairly interesting storyline. While it's not necessarily expected for a racing game to have Shakespearean text, it definitely would have been a worthwhile improvement.
Overall, NFS: Rivals is a fun and exciting addition to the currently small PS4 library, and should be an automatic purchase for those picking up the new system.
