Deltron 3030
Deltron 3030
(MassMirror)

All Music Guide

A wildly imaginative, unabashedly geeky concept album about interplanetary rap warriors battling to restore humanity's hip-hop supremacy in a corporate-dominated dystopia (or something like that).

Amazon.CO.UK

Over its 21 tracks, Deltron 3030 erases the errors of this rap era in favor of hip-hop's future fathers.

PitchFork

Though never self-satisfied or deliberately obscure, the record is an infinite improvement over the wanky verbal gymnastics that currently crowd smug, jerk-off rappers' 12-inches. Though Del may have helped start that trend, here he aches to say something significant.

PopMatters Music Review

While Nakamura's soundscape would be impressive enough on its own, Del adds a smooth, sci-fi vocal which provides a stinging social commentary on American inequality through the guise of a societal critique 1029 years from now.

Licensed to Ill
(MassMirror)

All Music Guide

There is a sense of genuine discovery, of creating new music, that remains years later, after countless plays, countless misinterpretations, countless rip-off acts, even countless apologies from the Beasties, who seemed guilty by how intoxicating the sound of it is, how it makes beer-soaked hedonism sound like the apogee of human experience. And maybe it is, maybe it isn't, but in either case, Licensed to Ill reigns tall among the greatest records of its time.

Rolling Stone

"Licensed to Ill" cuts an even wider swath musically than Run DMC's "Raising Hell", and it's the brash assurance of Rubin's "stealin" that ultimately makes these white boys more than a sophomoric joke.

However, I will be updating all my posts with links that do work.
Sorry for the inconvience.

UPDATE (09/08/07):
Seems Divshare has been updating servers and the like,
which is why we have been seeing all this downtime.

Imitation Best Form of Flattery.

i realize this image has nothing to do with cover songs.

deal.

i've got a new mixtape for you! and if you haven't figured it out, it's chock full of cover songs.

my favorites to be exact.

let's go through it like we always dooooo.

1.Since I Don't Have You - Guns 'N Roses

original artist: the Skyliners

off of their badly recieved 'Spaghetti Incident', this would have to be one of my favorite Roses cover, rather than Heaven's Door or Live & Let Die.

2.The Diamond Sea - Yeah Yeah Yeahs

original artist: Sonic Youth

Karen O's take on Thurston Moore's vocals captured my heart, i feel that this one is better.

3.Baby I'm Yours - Arctic Monkeys

original artist: Barbara Lewis

although i prefer the original, the Monkeys pull it off well, i'm glad they kept the backup vocals.

4.Under The Bridge - Gym Class Heroes

original artist: Red Hot Chili Peppers

Mr.McCoy's version of this rocked me, it signaled that they were coming back as good as they were on the Papercuts album, but sadly, i was wrong. very wrong. :[

5.Love Will Tear Us Apart - Fall Out Boy

original artist: Joy Division

i like this cover, i'm not really a big fan of FoB but this cover is rockin', the vocalist, stump is it? well, whatever, he brings it on this one.

6.Paranoid - the Dickies

original artist: Black Sabbath

a sped up version of this heavy metal standard, not better than the original, but just as good.

7.All Along The Watchtower - Jimi Hendrix

original artist: Bob Dylan

you knew this was going to be here. :D

8.Freddie's Dead - Fishbone

original artist: Curtis Mayfield

not better than the original, but fun to listen to a ska take on this, although, i THINK this was during their heavier period rather than their traditional skarastafunk.

9.Personal Jesus - Johnny Cash

original artist: Depeche Mode

i like both the original & cover equally, johnny's version feels more personal & powerful while the original has that digital hate feel, if there's such a feeling..

10.Como La Flor - Los Abandoned

original artist: Selena

no one can top Selena, if you say that to ANY mexican, you will be beaten, so don't say it, or i'll beat you, you can say this is a good cover though. haha.

11.Do You Wanna Dance? - the Ramones

original artist: Bobby Freeman

although the Beach Boys changed the title from 'Do You Want To Dance' to what it is here, it's still pretty much the same song, all i have to say, hah.

12.Up From The Skies - Demented Are Go!

original artist: Jimi Hendrix

a rare change of pace for DAG, i really enjoyed this song, it surprised the hell out of me when i first heard it, it's pretty much the same song, aside from Sparky's vocals and the maybe the pace..

13.And I Love Her - Smokey Robinson & the Miracles

original artist: the Beatles

one of the only Beatle covers i can stand, there are very few, very, very few.

14.Sea of Love - Cat Power

original artist: Phil Phillips

i prefer Charlyn's version over Mr.Phillips, the reason being, hers feels more emotional to me, like i believe her, and Mr.Phillips is just a plain ol' doo wop guy, don't get me wrong, it's a damn fine track, no matta what.

15.Wonderwall - Radiohead

original artist: Oasis

Radiohead > Oasis. 'nuff said.

16.Angel Baby - John Lennon

original artist: Rosie & the Originals

i like John's version, but Rosie's tops it.

17.Lola - Bad Manners

original artist: the Kinks

a nice ska take on this classic track, tell me what you think.

18.Amor Divino - Cafe Tacuba

original artist: Leo Dan

Leo Dan's version is the first i heard, i loved it, i love Leo Dan, but Cafe's take on it rocks it, i love it.

19.Bohemian Rhapsody - the Flaming Lips

original artist: Queen

an interesting take on Queen's classic stadium rocker, it doesn't smear their name, it adds a bit of color, ha.

20.Da Shit You Can't Fuck Wit - Kittie

original artist: Da Brat

don't ask.

Ready to Die
(MassMirror)

Rolling Stone

With his prodigious, often booming voice overwhelming the track, he sweeps his verbal camera high and low, painting a sonic picture so vibrant that you're transported right to the scene. He raps in clear, sparse terms, allowing the lyrics to hit the first time you hear them.

Q (12/94, p.153)

...the natural rapping, clever use of sound effects and acted dialogue, and concept element (from a baby being born at the start to the fading heartbeat at the end) set this well apart from the average gangsta bragging...

Uncut (p.128)

A funky, hard-nosed chronicle of a death foretold.

Vibe (6/02, p.109)

...Fans knew that from this debut that Biggie was indeed a born winner...

The Source (10/94, p.79)

...READY TO DIE, the debut from Brooklyn's own Biggie Smalls echoes the attitude in full Ghettovision color, showing us that the true `American way' is to hustle for yours...

Calavera

straight out of Los Angeles, Calavera is an awesome psychobilly band, i believe the lineup has changed from when i saw them live, but they put on a great show. i've been listening to these guys since middle school, the album i've got is 'Day of the Dead'.
