Lie

Matthew Sweet

Shout Factory, 2008

Sunshine Lies sound sweet.
I got "Sunshine Lies" today, and have already given it two loud listens. It reminds me of Blue Sky on Mars (Matthew plays everything but drums on every track, and he's a GREAT bass player), Altered Beast or 100% Fun (mostly up-tempo, hard-edged stuff), and touches of ...

Lies for the Liars

The Used

Reprise, 2007

Great Album From A Great Band
Now I have to admit that this is the first album of theirs that I have actually listened to, so I'm not wholly familiar with their previous work or how good it "once was". I'm not what could be called a hardcore rock fan where I take every bit of music made by a band ...

The Book Of Lies Companion Soundtrack

Various Artists

CreateSpace, 2008

What a Great Idea!!
This is so cool. You may be thinking you don't need a soundtrack to go with a book, but you don't have to have music in a movie either. When they are matched together it really improves the experience. The theme to the Greatest American Hero alone is worth it. ...

The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway

Genesis

Atlantic / Wea, 1994

The Greatest Album By Anyone
No wonder Gabriel left Genesis after this - how could he have followed TLLDOB? I know there are many people who love the Phil Collins version of Genesis and I do enjoy most of the albums they produced but Gabriel's Genesis was one of the most innovative and adventurous ...

A Beautiful Lie

30 Seconds to Mars

Immortal, 2005

30 segundos por siempre xD
Para ser la primera ves que compro un cd sin dudarlo me pareco bien, esta económico, es una excelente banda con un pensamiento diferente y musicalmente muy bien elaborado, comprenlo si pueden no se arrepentiran.

This American Life: Lies Sissies & Fiascoes

Ira Glass

Rhino / Wea, 1999

This American Life from PRI is fabulous!
What a fantastic "best of" This American Life CD. It was the first and one of the best. I have been a fan of the program distributed to public radio by PRI, Public Radio International (NOT NPR) for years. This American Life describes such wonderful stories in such a ...

G N' R Lies

Guns N' Roses

Geffen Records, 1990

Something for everyone
This album has something for everyone (even racists, if you thing about "One in A Million"), but generally was partially opportunistic (releasing the EP - Live Like a Suicide) and another four acoustic tracks. How it would look to fans was very much parodied within the ...

Lie to Me

Jonny Lang

A&M, 1997

Lie to Me
For a second effort, it is just as good as the first. Jonny just keeps getting better and with a more mature and bluesy vocal.

PowerCorruption & Lies (2 CD Collector's Edition)
New Order

Word Entertainment, 2008

Power, Corruption & Lies established New Order's identity separate from its previous incarnation as Joy Division. Containing "Blue Monday," one of the most sacredly important dance songs of all time, this album truly stands not only as New Order's most defining moment but perhaps as the most standard-setting moment in alternative dance. Yet as ...

Lie Down in the Light

Bonnie Prince Billy

Drag City, 2008

Redemptive, moving, beautiful. One of Will Oldham's very best. Freak Folks move over.
For those still under the spell of Will Oldham's majestic "The Letting Go" this latest Bonnie "Prince" Billy album may at first seem a disappointment. It enters with a warm, countrified splash of fiddles, banjo, piano and vocal harmonization, with an air of CSN or the ...

Sublime - Stories, Tales, Lies & Exaggerations (Collector's Edition)

Sublime

Screen Edge, 2002

This documentary kicks ASS!
I am a HUGE Sublime fan, and I really enjoyed this movie. Along with videos and interviews, you get a very in depth look at Bradley Nowell's life and his friends and families lives. Parts of this movie made me laugh and others made me cry. A wonderful buy for any ...

Sesame Street - Telling the Truth

Dennis Quaid

Sesame Street, 2003

Finally, teaching the values of telling the truth
The world we live in is so full of false hopes and promises that so much of the time people forget to teach their children that being truthful, our word and our honor, is the most important thing we can offer. Children need to learn that telling the truth is a good ...

Bobby Bare Sings Lullabys, Legends and Lies (And More)

Bobby Bare

RCA, 2007

feels like home
Bobby Bare has always been able to project the feel of a "culture" I grew up in and miss terribly. To hear him sing and listen to the words peels away 60 years and I can see, hear, feel, and even taste and smell the total experience and of my youth. Rosalies Good ...

Promises and Lies

UB40

Virgin Records Us, 1993

UB40's best studio effort (ever)
I'm a big UB40 fan and I can easily say this album represents the best of their studio work. The band has been haunted by the commercial success of their cover hits but this album clearly demonstrates that they can write and arrange great original work. "Things ain't ...
