Title: DEEPLY INFERIOR TO THEIR PAST STUFF Review: The source of Funk is the Bass guitar. The loss of their old bassist really hurts them on this album. In past albums, especially the second, the bass was MELODIOUS. Here it is deeply reptitive. Every other bar is repeated! NO MELODY. This hurts when you have no lead guitar! The vocals aren't sufficient to carry the whole melody of the tune. So you get basically some nice textures that you can dance to but nothing to soothe the musical ear. Just listen to the bass play 4 quarter notes down the scale EVERY OTHER BAR in the Planet Home. I think i learned to do that my first day on recorder. All the other tunes are the same, they just grab a lick and repeat it. Then listen to the bass on manifest destiny from the second album. What a contrast! Their current bassist doesnt walk any further than one bar (on Falling). Just listen to the bass, see if you agree. Is the review positive or negative?

Title: Listen to what she has to say Review: I read this book a year or two ago, and really enjoyed it. At first, the case studies discussed seem a bit extreme, but the feelings that Pipher writes of are present in even the most "non-dysfunctional" of girls. Teenage girls and parents of teenage girls should read this book. Is the review positive or negative?

Title: Not just for the lads Review: This book has made the rounds of all our friends, crisscrossing the globe in the process -and for good reason, it's hilarious! A friend was given an early copy on a plane somewhere between Japan and Ireland during the last World Cup. Back in the US, my Irish husband (a once-bartender at McDaid's), laughed so hard tears rolled down his cheeks. Not wanting to miss out, I grabbed the book as soon as he put it down, then promptly ordered 5 copies for friends.There is definitley some Dublin slang in this book, and being American, I had to ask translations for a few of the words - but that's part of the fun. The characters are vivid, and anyone who's worked in IT or for a big consulting firm can relate to the main character. It's a quick, funny read. Is the review positive or negative?
