Everlast: White Trash Beautiful        (2 of 2 found this review helpful)
  April 3, 2005

I never listened to any other everlast album. I fortuitously acquired this one since it was offered as part of a promotion.

  October 25, 2004

I love this piece in general, and this rendition is exquisite compared to my previous CD versions of the Requiem.

5 Moody Blues SACD releases - Wow. But is the music up to it?
February 15, 2006
I am very excited, the Moody Blues albums are among the ones I look forward to most - along with the likes of Pink Floyd. Sounds like Depeche mode will be releasing practically their entire catalog soon - that is also worth a listen. ... more
