“Not all Glee members are created equal–Cory Monteith (the show’s hunky football captain) and Dianna Agron (the alternately caustic and vulnerable head cheerleader) can’t sing nearly as well as their co-stars–but this soundtrack has enough star power to keep things trucking along, especially when powerhouse alto Lea Michele takes the wheel.”–All Music Guide

“When the Glee kids nail something — like a version of Van Halen’s ”Jump” that made my cheeks sore from smiling — the title of this joyful franchise could not be more apt.”–Entertainment Weekly

“Burma’s ragged and raging record is a start-to-finish blast, but don’t miss out on the party’s substance: crafty vocals, heroic guitars, dark humor, steely resolve.”–Boston Globe

“On the powerful single “Can’t Hardly Wait,” the gritty soul singer expresses self-aggravation over her inability to cut loose a trifling lover. It’s just one of the powerful gems on the charismatic Dallas native’s Pink Elephant.”–All Music Guide

“Lambert sounds larger than life on these, just like he wants to be, and if there’s no sense of danger here, at least there’s a lot of pure pop pleasure here, more than any immediate post-Idol album has ever delivered.”–All Music Guide

“Guitarist Omar Rodriguez-Lopez and singer Cedric Bixler-Zavala are the creative duo driving the band and once again deliver on a standing promise to blow any mind that is willing to stay open.”–Boston Globe

“There’s a big difference between a traditionalist and someone who follows tradition, and Nichols belongs in the latter camp, less concerned with the past than the present, admitting that booze is cheaper than a shrink, happily sliding into power-ballad mode on the slower songs. Those rock influences — not just on ballads, but on the sweet, swaying soft rock of “Man, Woman” — are more prominent here than before, but the music is always grounded in Nichols’ warm, supple voice, the thing that keeps Old Things New in a country tradition.”–All Music Guide

“Although the new set may lack the wide-eyed naivete that made the group’s past efforts so endearing, the newfound maturity makes for a compelling set of songs.”–Billboard.com

“Vocal heroism is Ms. Lewis’s game, and she plays it ruthlessly, with an unselfconscious gusto evocative of classic Whitney Houston or Celine Dion.”–New York Times

“The success of the project obviously hinges on McKay herself, and she brings it off thanks to one of the most affecting voices in modern music, a bewitching way of humanizing her songs, and her ability to echo Day’s sincerity and joi de vivre (even if it is a performance).”–All Music Guide

“It’s a serene, completely agreeable hour…. Chucho has a bit of an edge with speed, power and dexterity, but here and there, especially when they deftly switch roles of ostinato and soloing, it can become hard to guess who’s who. Bebo is an elegant musician, but also one who won’t be outdone; when you don’t expect it, his sense of occasion, or perhaps competition, rises up in billowing, well-articulated runs.”–New York Times

“This is yet another of the many triumphant recordings Tyner has given to the world, and though always challenging for any solo artist, he easily pulls it off with nary a hitch, much spirit, and a ton of soul.”–All Music Guide
