4 out of 5 stars Gonna to be a rock star.......2006-06-08

I owned Go for Broke first and this is not a carbon copy. Real talent does not rip off or re-hash existing sounds, riffs, melodies, and such. The variety of the sounds we get on this second album tells me that this guy's got some talent..

First of all this is more a 2k rock album and there seems to be less hip hop. GFB leaned heavily on a hip hop lyric delivery and had a more of a hip-hop theme to it. Kazzer's delivery here has a bit more "in your face" and the guitar riffs feel heaver, more pronounced, and tighter. There are some good guitar solos that are not on his first album.

Kazzer's vocal delivery is also more in line with what we're hearing on the radio today without the sticky sweet commercialism and without the ranting drone.

Most of the tracks are solid rock tunes. The ballads (if you can call them ballads) have a unique grooving quality that keeps them crossing over to cliche'.

You can tell this is a second album on a few of fronts. It's more polished, a bit tighter, certainly more mainstream (or maybe less cross over). If he keeps it up, and has a good promoter, he will no doubt see greater commercial success.


5 out of 5 stars Why hasn't anybody heard of this guy yet?.......2005-11-29

I've been watching the Speed channel's Sports Car Revolution for a few seasons, always loved their theme songs, "Fueled by Adrenaline" and "Pedal to the Metal" but just recently realized that Kazzer was not only a co-host on the show, but he is a rock star. I decided to take a chance on this one and I'm glad I did. Good stuff. So good that I immediatley bought his debut CD "Going for Broke" as well, though I'm slightly dissapointed with that one.

    3 out of 5 stars Good fun........2004-08-03

    These import two-fers' are terrific. They feature terrific sound quality and great packaging. The albums included are:

    THAT STUBBORN KINDA FELLOW (1963) ***1/2 (3.5 out of 5) Marvin's first real release (not counting the supper club flop THE SOULFUL MOODS OF MARVIN GAYE) is possibly the grittiest and most soulful album that Motown ever released in the sixties. This lends the disc a little more cohesiveness than the majority of the label's releases during the decade. The three singles are classics and include the seminal hits "Stubborn Kinda Fellow" (#46 Pop, #8 R&B), "Hitch Hike" (#30 Pop, #12 R&B), and "Pride And Joy" (#10 Pop, #2 R&B). As for the album tracks, Marvin's rendition of "A Soldier's Plea" is almost unbearably moving and "Taking My Time" is a hidden gem. Like most Motown records of the era, THAT STUBBORN KINDA FELLOW is expertly crafted and extremely pleasurable, even if it's not always memorable.

    HOW SWEET IT IS TO BE LOVED BY YOU (1965) *** (3 out of 5) This popular release is little more spotty and generic than THAT STUBBORN KINDA FELLOW, however HOW SWEET IT IS contains enough quality material to be a good listen. The title song hit #6 on the Pop chart (his best selling single at that date) and is one of the most infectious singles to ever hit the airwaves. The disc's other hits are the driving "You're A Wonderful One" (#15 Pop), the soothing "Try It Baby" (#15 Pop), and the rocking "Baby Don't You Do It" (#27 Pop), all of which are great releases. The superb "No Good Without You" makes excellent use of it's killer refrain, and Marvin's vocals on "Now That You've Won Me" and "Forever" are particularly lovely. The rest of the record's material is typical Motown filler: nothing special, but perfectly listenable.

    4 out of 5 stars together a Good Album.......2002-07-12

    these Albums Combined make a Good Album but as two albums seperate I'd say slightly better than Average."Wherever I Lay My Hat,Stubbonr Kind of Fellow,Hitch Hike,How Sweet it is to be Loved by you,etc.. brings this Set up.He hadn't quite found His Voice fully here but He could make a Song His Own already&you are Hearing a Artist just getting Warmed up onto a Legendary Career.

    4 out of 5 stars Great Voice - "Interesting" Attempt at English.......2006-11-22

    I'm not sure if she's singing English phonically or it's just her impression of how some words are supposed to be pronounced but it is interesting - mainly because has a gorgeous voice and backed by world class musicians.

    She has a deep powerful voice - if Marianne Faithful didn't smoke cigarettes and was more classically trained ... she might sound a little like Rebekka.

    While she has a jazz voice as well as a great voice, these are not all jazz songs - rather because of her usual pronunciations, they actually come off as Adult Alternative Ballads (A3) - sort of if you crossed a deeper voice Joni Mitchell with Tom Waits stylings (not his voice :-) so there's an interesting edge of melancholy wistfulness to all the songs.

    Instead of a classical setting in a nightclub dress, the setting should be a little grittier - this is actually a pretty interesting alt-country or A3 ballad CD.

    If you want a musical adventure and like things a little different and not safe and formula - definitely look into this.

    5 out of 5 stars Wonderful.......2003-06-07

    This CD is one of the best CDs that I own. The instrumental talent combined with the vocals, makes Our Lady Peace one of the best bands I have ever heard. To further the interest in Our Lady Peace is their lyrics. They have some of the most original lyrics I have heard. This album imparticular, in my humble opinion, is their best. "One Man Army," "Happiness and the Fish," and "Is Anybody Home?" just a couple of the great tracks on the CD. Most of my favorite songs by Our Lady Peace are on this album.

    5 out of 5 stars Catch happiness with this CD!!.......2000-11-27

    This CD is a superb follow-up to Clumsy. The boys keep improving their talents and their music keeps expanding. When I first put Happiness into my cd player, I was a little taken aback - I don't know what I had expected - but, after almost a year, it still hasn't been taken out of my stereo. It definitely is a bit of a departure from Clumsy and Naveed, but that is so refreshing in today's world of music that is manufactured repeatedly to the breaking point. The music rocks, as always, and Maida's voice soars to new levels (literally). I can't wait - December 12, baby!! I'll be first in line for Spiritual Machines!!!
