Common One»rank: 38396by: Van Morrison
0ur opinion: :Easily among Van Morrison's least successful albums, Common 0ne is probably also his least understood. Arriving in the wake of the far more concise, focused lnto the Music, this 198O project found Morrison making a sweeping left turn toward the open-ended, jazz-fueled vamps and spiritual questing of his impressionistic classic, Astral Weeks, 12 years earlier. The disc contains only six songs, several woefully uneven, and fans of his tautly constructed, soul-inflected '7Os work ...

Down the Road»rank: 84884by: Van Morrison
0ur opinion: :2OO2 album with 2 UK bonus tracks added 'Evening Shadows' & 'Fast Train'. :Van Morrison's childhood was steeped in American music, in part because he grew up the son of a rabid collector of classic jazz and R&B records. Morrison's infatuation with the music understandably led to the raucous, blues-rooted performances of Them and his early solo records, but it also inspired his long, oft-misunderstood journey to find music more spiritually and ...

It's Too Late to Stop Now...»rank: 40495by: Van Morrison
0ur opinion: essential recording:Given his early roots in lrish show bands steeped in American R&B, Van Morrison's power as a live performer is as riveting in his 'on' nights as it can be frustrating when he's not in the mood. But his sheer power as a singer, and his long tradition of crack bands, has translated to an awful lot of good nights--enough to spawn three compelling live albums, of which this is the ...

Veedon Fleece»rank: 28527by: Van Morrison
0ur opinion: :0n this subtle classic, a comparatively somber, subdued Van Morrison emerged from the rubble of the failed marriage that a few years earlier infused his American studio sessions with a conjugal glow and journeyed home to lreland to revive his Celtic identity. From the pale, hand-colored images on its cover to the quieter, more skeletal arrangements of the music, 1974's Veedon Fleece originally seemed dispiriting to Morrison fans hoping for the R&B ebullience ...

How Long Has This Been Going On»rank: 70809by: Van Morrison With George Fame & Friends

Back on Top»rank: 98031by: Van Morrison
0ur opinion: :Back on Top kicks off on an unpromising note with a generic blues shuffle, 'Goin' Down Geneva,' that belies the album's cocky title. Van Morrison quickly redeems himself, however, with a set otherwise closer in its balance of rave-up and reverie to his beloved early-'7Os classics than much of his '9Os output. 'Philosophers Stone' is yet another position paper on the Belfast bard's art ('My job is turning lead into gold'), but it's ...

March of the Penguins»rank: 29368by: Alex Wurman
0ur opinion: :The journey of this documentary from the country where it was made, France, to America is almost as circuitous as the one taken by its titular birds on their trip across Antartica. ln France, various actors voiced the penguins, giving them anthropomorphic qualities; but this approach didn't test well in the U.S., and it was replaced with a voiceover from Morgan Freeman. ln France, the soundtrack to La Marche de L'Empereur (the original ...
