Album Reviews
In most cases, bands put out these odds and sods collections for die-hard fans, to fulfill a record deal, or to stall while they're taking seven years to record a follow-up. Steal This Album!, on the other hand, definitely doesnot fit any of those ideals. First, it's almost impossible to think of this as an "outtakes" record. System of a Down has managed to make tracks from a seven-year period sound cohesive without having to embellish or sacrifice. Some might argue that maybe they're just treading water. Not true. If System proved anything with 2001's Toxicity, it's that they're one of the few breaths of fresh air out there in mainstream metal land. This collection is no different, and with its amazing pacing, it's hard to not be moved by what this band can do. Secondly, Steal This Album! has everything that a "normal" album release would have; it's heavy without being a burden, political without being condescending, and in some cases, downright beautiful. It's been mentioned that this is the link to what they've done and what they're moving towards. If that turns out to be true, the next one should be a monster. ~ Chris True, All Music Guide

I'm Yours Jason Mraz |
| In a market where only grown-ups are still buying records, the supply of acts to cater for their tastes seems to be endless. From Mechanicsville, Virginia comes the latest US star ready to join the Didos and James Blunts of this world, feeding the global appetite for mindless escapism, Jason Mraz. "I'm yours" is a blander than a marshmallow slice of reggae-tinged pop, with a chilled holiday vibe attached to it. It had been part of the singer's live shows for quite a while, but wasn't released in a record until this year, hitting the Billboard Top 3 last summer and becoming his biggest hit to date, while dragging quite a few comparisons with US' favourite pop surfer Jack Johnson in the meantime. Included in Mraz's third album "We Sing, We Dance, We Steal Things", a work described by the singer as inspired by "moments of self realization, self empowerment and self improvement". Could this be the musical equivalent to a self-help manual, then? ©2008 Shazam Entertainment Limited. All rights reserved. | |
