Editorial Reviews
About the Artist
I started playing back in the early 80's. I was fortunate enough to hook up with some excellent musicians and enjoyed playing in some good old honky tonks in northwest Houston, Texas and southern Montgomery County, Texas. As Jerry Reed once said, "If your gonna write good songs, you need to go out and have some experiences". Thats an understatement. Throughout my years in public safety and my own experiences, I have found the words of my songs through those trials. As an admirer of Marty Robbins, the ballads have always appealed to me. There's nothing like a good story that folks can relate to. I have never been able to just sit down and write a song like so many gifted songwriters. The words of my songs come to me after something has effected me in some way, personal or otherwise. I still play in those same small joints whenever I can, singing my songs and all the old ballads I grew up with. Again, If the words of a single song touch you, then this endeavor has bee! n well worth it. I hope you enjoy and can see into my world, here in the dark side.

Product Description
After almost 20 years in public safety, I have seen the good and plenty of the bad. These songs are from the heart and each holds a special meaning to me. If the words of a single song reach out to you, then this endeavor has been a success.

THE DARKSIDE DARE IS TURNING AGAINST THE EVIL IDENTIFICATION WITH THE (BAD) MOTHER-EARTH........2007-06-25

This record was released in 1994 and it's a classical old skool album.
It is a psychic metaphor of the evil identification with a bad mother.
Please look at the art cover picture: there is Redman below ground, and he yelles; above him, there are the electric cables at high tension, that symbolizes the psychic cathexis that are investited in this psychic process.
Naturally this record is for winning people that, according to the Psyco-analysis of Sigmund Freud, expel the "bad" objects and integrate the aggressivity energy.
HIGLY RECOMMENDED TO ALL RAP FANS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

P.S:
Please check up my rap listmania, just clicking on my nickname and clicking above my listmania. Here there are 40 Hip-Hop albums choosed by me just for winning people and not for fans of the mortal masochism rap !!!
I assure that in my rap albums' list you will find the best American Hip-Hop albums. There are dance beats and strong ones and lyrics just for the winninf person in the life !!!

My Favorite Redman Album (Rating: 10 out of 10- -5.0 stars).......2007-04-08

This is my favorite Redman LP compared to all the albums that he has released (with the exception of "Red Gone Wild" which I haven't heard yet because it came out recently). Given that "What Thee Album?" back in 1992 was his best LP, Redman consistantly switches up his style. Truthfully from all of the albums that I heard by him, he's never had a bad album. But on his sophomore album "Dare Iz A Darkside", I find it to be an awesome follow up album.

One thing people loved about Redman, was that he was always saying something funny in his rhymes, and it keeps peoples attention. And his sense of humor really play in his skills. Songs like "A Million And One Buddah Spots" and "Green Island" really show his sense of humor behind the mic. I would say that my most favorite song on this album would be "Can't Wait", because it has so much energy (and it's one of my favorite music videos as well). And the traditional "Soopaman Luva II" is a good song that has a twist in it's storyline.

Guest appearances are good as well. Erick Sermon and Keith Murray drop dope verses on "Cosmic Slop", another excellent track. And Hurricane G. appears in "We Run N.Y." that is okay as well. Her voice is sampled for the chorus of the song "Winicumuhround".

The production on this album is excellent as well. Erick Sermon and Redman really drop some nice beats for this album. The production really gives off a 1994 type flavor to this album.

This is another gem from the N.J. area. Around this time, a lot of artists from that area were starting or were already making a name for themselves (Artifacts, The Fugees, Lords Of The Underground), and Redman's second album would make a perfect addition to represent. This album really deserves a 9 on the 10 scale, but I said it as my favorite album from Redman, so I figured I would warrant a perfect score for this album. If you're a fan of East Coast rap from the 90's, I recommend that you listen to this album.

Redman - Dare Iz A Darkside.......2007-03-25

Two years later in 1994, Redman releases his second album called "Dare Iz A Darkside". His first album was a success and I was definately feeling the production and lyrics and definately the originality on that album. This album is different in some aspects. Ill break it down a bit.

The lyrics on this album, you still got that same style from Redman. If you were feelin the lyrics from "Whut? Thee Album" youll be getting the same type of lyrics here on this album. Redman is definately still kickin the dope ish!

The production on this album was nice! Unlike the first album, this album is really grimey. Gots them heavy bass, just straight bangers. I seen a review, saying that all these beats sound the same, well I agree but disagree at the same time. On this album, you got a majority of the production by Erick Sermon, and some joints produced by Redman himself. Im feelin the productio on this album, just for the fact that the beats are grimey and hard bangers.

Overall, I recommend you pick up Redmans first album, then this one next. They have different styles, but at the same time both ill. Pick this up! Real hip-hop, Redman keeps it hardcore!!! Overall I give this album about a 4.5/5.

Darkside.......2007-03-02

This CD is OK. I wanted more after I heard 'Redman Muddy Waters', but for me, it wasn't as good.

Still some real good songs, and some great lyrics. Buy Muddy Waters first.

'more deadlier than a whole school system of asbestos'. HAH

THIS ALBUM IS ESSENTIAL AS WELL, BUT IT DID NOT MOVE ME LIKE THE FIRST ONE.......2007-02-15

i dig the joints on this album as well, but something about this album just does not move me in the same way that the first one did. however, i love GREEN ISLAND, WE RUN NEW YORK (where is hurricane g?), and CAN'T WAIT. oh, and the skits are banannas!!!! i'd get this again, but i think that it would make me just wanna listen to the first album anyway.

Deep Dark and glowing.......2004-12-06

Amazing psychedelia from the blistering opening track to the closer..this album is amazing, and was correctly heralded when it came out. too bad for these guys that it all came to a close early on...still this album is pretty amazing in its guitar work and drenched psychedelic, acid musings..Great Melomania is not worth getting its a piss poor album full of partial sloppy tunes.

Good stuff.......2006-10-02

This group of urban legends is told with enthusiasm and atmosphere. (If you skip the two uninspired readings of Poe's work, that is.) One of the better CDs in my extensive Halloween collection.

Plodding!.......2004-10-05

The stories are OK but plod along at a slow rate. Little-to-no background effects and the music that is there is very cheesy. Simply doesn't set the mood.

Hokey but fun.......1999-10-10

This Halloween CD is ultimately a collection of folk talkes and urban legends, set to kinda-appropriate-but-kinda-cheesy music. The production values aren't bad. Man, Poe's THE RAVEN goes on forever!

Must-have live tracks!.......2007-06-24

This is one of the better live CDs out there by ANY band. Tool's early energy is captured brilliantly in this import CD. Great sound quality, backed by a nice raw sound, solid tracks as well as Maynard's comments here and there make for a truly great experience! A must-have for a collector! It is well worth your time.

Classic from the Darkside (Waynee-Wayne & Dubl-M).......2005-05-17

I only ordered this cause it was labeled as a DJ Quik album, and am I glad I did. Quik has nothing to do with it other then producing one song (although a lot of his producers and buddies are on it. The 2 man crew from the Sac Town deliver great!! Out of the 12 songs, 4 are almost classics and only 1 is ok, the other 7 are great. Guests are on almost all the songs, but the beats make it one of the best albums beatwise I ever heard (and I have about 650 rap albums). Production is out of this world and done by, Robert "Fonksta" Bacon (2 songs), George "G-One" Archie (6 songs), and DJ Quik, Derek "DOA" Allen, Raphael Saadiq, and Waynee Wayne all do 1 song. A must have album for fans of west coast funk.

#2 - 9 (f/ Tobias -- upbeat song)
#3 - 9.5 (f/ Derek "DOA" Aleen -- relaxing beat)
#4 - 9.5 (f/ AMG -- dirty upbeat song)
#5 - 9.5 (great beat)
#6 - 8 (f/ Suga Free & Playa Hamm -- beat is also on a song off the "Konnectid Project" album)
#8 - 9 (f/ Ra Capone)
#9 - 9.5 (f/ Playa Hamm -- great beat)
#10 - 8.5 (about pulling off a heist)
#11 - 9 (f/ Lucky -- great beat)
#12 - 9 (f/ Roger Touch)
#13 - 9 (f/ Tobias)
#14 - 7 (Waynee Wayne & Miss Mocha -- about having a kid)

The Most Overlooked Recording of the 90s.......2001-01-31

"Melomania" by The Darkside(not to be confused with Darkside), who was born out of the ashes of Spaceman 3, would quite simply be the best recording of the 90's even if it just contained one track: "Rise". "Rise" is a nearly 10 minute masterpiece of guitar virtuosity. Every other song on this recording is superb. Especially "Tornado". The bands first recording "All that Noise" is also outstanding. While "All that Noise" was more atmospheric, "Melomania" is hard driving guitar music. The Darkside disbanded years ago. So grab this CD while you can. It's almost impossible to find. Beggar's Banquet would do well to re-release it (along with "All that Noise"). I would love to know whatever happened to the members of The Darkside. Surely talented artist like these continued to make great music after breaking up.
