All Things Being Equal

Chambao, Caminando

2009-09-14T23:45:00.000-07:00

Never doubt the power of Apple. When I first heard Caminando guy walked into the Apple store to check out the newest Mac. Of course there was a group of people around the new MacBook's so I decide to wait a and listen to a few songs with the iPhone. I was so impressed with this album than a month later I went back to that same Apple store to find out what the name of the album were group was. this album was my first complete album digital download and is now a staple in the soundtrack of my life.

Alisha Keys, As I Am

2009-09-14T18:44:00.000-07:00

Besides being beautiful, Alisha Keys is very talented. As I Am sets her apart from her contemporaries by the sheer power in her voice that ranges from the highs to the lows with exquisitely crafted words. From the powerful No One to the delicate Like You'll Never Love ME Again this album speak of a woman on the cusp of self actualization.

Pink, Funhouse

2009-09-14T00:55:00.000-07:00

I may be slightly bias towards this album since I actually meet Pink at a rally the week the album came out, but regardless Funhouse is still Pink's best album, so far. Funhouse is surprisingly personal, addressing issues of breakup and he emotions that come from the end of a relationship. Originally Pink wanted to call the album Breakup Is A Bitch but her record label decided the name Funhouse would help the record sell better. So What is the ultimate breakup song. It is so in your face, fun and outrageous it's impossible not to sing along.

Madonna, Erotica

2009-09-13T00:05:00.000-07:00

It's commonly thought by music critics that Erotica, and the accompanying Sex book and Body of Evidence film created a backlash for 6 years for being too sexually explicit. What many fail to realize that Erotica is a great album. Rolling Stone Magazine even gave it 4 stars. The title Erotica is misleading. Most of the songs are not about sex, but more about relationships or the ending of them and the anger and resentment associated with it.

Darren Hayes, The Tension & The Spark

2009-09-11T23:07:00.000-07:00

Darren Hayes' masterpiece The Tension & The Spark is simply that. With his global success with Savage Garden, Hayes could have played it safe and continue to release power ballads, but instead he chose to push himself lyrically, musically and address topics straightforward and ultimately universal in understanding. From the sex drenched I Like The Way to the painful Unlovable, The Tension & The Spark take the listener inside themselves.

U2, Achtung Baby

2009-09-10T02:31:00.000-07:00

One of my favorite albums and one of the best in the 90's and in my opinion the best on album released in 1991. I love almost all of the tracks from the brilliant Zoo Station to the simple Ultraviolet. It's easy to say that Achtung Baby contains one of the best songs of all time (One), but it's really not my favorite song on the album. If you get a chance it's worth multiple listings. This album captured U2 at their creative best!
