Amorphis - Under the Red Cloud

Very good, relaxed prog album. :)

The Beatles - "Please, Please Me" (album)

:w00t: :w00t: :w00t:

More of a catalog of The Beatles influences rather than a proper album; still from Paul's opening "1-2-3-4" on "She Was Just Seventeen" you know it's going to be a great ride.  It was recorded in just a day, which is how John managed to shout himself hoarse on "Twist and Shout."
In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace—and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock

Herman Griffin - True Love (1960)

TOCK ABOUT LOVE!  Not a bad little rockabilly number, but unsuited for Griffin; he's a lot more dynamic than the song.  His voice is also way to powerful for what they had at Motown back in those days; and he keeps overdriving the microphone.

Griffin is much better known for being Mary Wells first husband (and a key factor in her decision to leave Motown) than he is as a performer.  He was supposed to be an electric performer, like Jackie Wilson, but he never had the songs.

The Beatles - Meet the Beatles

:w00t: :w00t: :w00t:

The Americanized version of "With the Beatles"; all the covers (except "Until there was You") were excised and "I Want to Hold Your Hand" was added.  I think this is the better album; The Beatles covers of Motown ("Money," "Wait a Minute Mr. Postman" and "You Really Got a Hold on Me") aren't bad, but they're nowhere near as good as the originals.  The same can be said for George's cover of "Roll Over Beethoven."  Without those the album rocks harder and is more consistent.  I prefer "Please Please Me," but this is still a worthy follow up.
