This album would make a fine addition to any world music aficionado's shelf

Why do I always see that or some variant in every review under World/International music.

This Divine Styler review is a treat

DS outdoes himself with "Make It Plain" as he implements sonic explosions that hit from every possible angle, making it an unparalleled listening experience.

Enticing, informative, and done with nothing but the upliftment of man and woman at heart, which alone is enough to be applauded for.

, "Nova" has a definite "Hot Sex" vibe permeating its every orifice

anyway i was thrilled last night when i saw allmusic.com hadn't been turned into allrovi.com quite yet.

Homages, perhaps, to the drum-machine sound of the late 1970s, the fast and furious grooves on this rap label compilation speed by at around 120 to 140 beats per minute, and they're all top-end and trebly (they might want to call the next one SO SO DEF TREBLE ALL-STARS). This is pure party music, and the formula is simple enough: either crank the ol' beatbox to the funkiest beat you can find and start rapping over it, or, better, find a popular groove like Keith Sweat's "Make It Last Forever" and start rapping over that. Nothing groundbreaking, but absoluely butt-shaking.

I'm assuming this review was either written before The New Radicals got popular with "You Get What You Give" or that the writer didn't know who Gregg Alexander was:

Still my favorite after all these years:

hahaha wow

It makes no sense to discuss 200 KM/H in the Wrong Lane, the first album by Russian dance-pop duo Tatu, without focusing on the gimmick, since that gimmick is the band. And the gimmick, of course, is that the girls are teenage lesbians who sing songs with suggestive titles like "Not Gonna Get Us," "Show Me Love," and "All the Things She Said," while covering that perennial anthem of tortured unrequited love and lust, the Smiths' "How Soon Is Now?". It's heavy Europop, often helmed by Trevor Horn, and sung by two cute girls. (two stars)

Suggestive titles? Nudge nudge, wink wink "Not Gonna Get Us", say no more, etc

Allmisogyny

I always thought this Black Devil Disco Club review was quite bad.

AllMusic Review by John Dougan
Her laconic slur of a voice has never sounded sexier, and her off-key rendition of "Spooky" is so lazily erotic that it nearly sucks the life out of you. A putrid classic of style and substance.
