Timbaland - Shock Value 2 - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

The Holiday Album That Turned Mariah Carey into the Queen of Christmas The Singer's Blockbuster Merry Christmas Exudes Joy, Spirituality, and ConvictionSourced from the Original Master Tapes, Presented in Audiophile Sound, and Released to Celebrate the Record's 30th Anniversary Mobile Fidelity's Hybrid SACD Play with Engaging Transparency and DetailMariah Carey didn't become the Queen of Christmas just because of her fervent love of the holiday. The iconic singer earned her title by way of her blockbuster Merry Christmas, a 1994 album that quickly joined the likes of Bing Crosby's White Christmas and Nat King Cole's The Christmas Song as an all-time holiday vocal classic. Featuring a balanced mix of inspired originals and well-chosen covers, Carey's fourth studio record has only grown in stature as new generations discover it's magic. It seamlessly ties together Christian, gospel, and secular threads and speaks to a boundless audience, independent of denomination. And the album remains inescapably connected to 'All Want for Christmas Is You,' the uptempo anthem that towers as one of the biggest-selling singles in history.Featuring the bonus track 'God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen,' Mobile Fidelity's 30th anniversary edition numbered-edition hybrid SACD version of Merry Christmas breathe with a newfound openness and transparency that enhance the spirituality, passion, and festive tenor of Carey's singing. Her signature vocals explode with liveliness and dynamics, the full scope of her acrobatic range presented in clear sound that practically places her on a small stage in your listening room. In every regard, these are reissues you better add to your wish list.Numbered Hybrid SACDNUMBERED SPECIAL EDITIONTrack List1. Silent Night2. All I Want for Christmas Is You3. O Holy Night4.

Around the Fur the follow-up to Deftones' passionate, aggressive Adrenaline, sees the California quartet expanding on the sheer rage of their earlier work, adding new, more sinister shades to their already extreme sound. The opening InchMy Own Summer (Shove It),Inch serves as an introduction to the album's sonic theme sinewy guitars and eerie whispers alternate with fast, violent crunch. Sepultura's Max Cavallero contributes guitar and vocals to InchHeadup,Inch while InchMXInch finds singer Chino trading off vocal lines with Annalynn Cunningham, (wife of Deftones' drummer Abe) in an acerbic take on the rock star mentality. Vocal acrobat Moreno attacks a variety of styles his breathy, psychotic recitations sound downright industrial, while the album's calmer, more brooding moments show his gift for haunting melody. Behind him, guitarist Stephen Carpenter's heavy wall of sound is astoundingly muscular, yet inspiringly agile. When Deftones' hellish fury hits full tilt, as it always does on this album, Moreno's voice erupts into screams which are best described as otherworldly, transforming this intense musical firestorm into a hurtling juggernaut of aggression.
