Question...I ordered a High Drama CD from Amazon and just received it. Now, admittedly I haven't ordered a CD in a long time, but this came in a cardboard sleeve, with the picture on the front, and the tracks listed on the back. that's it. It wasn't even in a plastic case. Is that how CD's are sold these days? It looks really cheap, like somebody copied a CD or something. I got mine from Amazon today as well. Just cardboard holder. Guess they don't use plastic cases anymore If you ordered a signed copy the signature card is inside the front cardboard opening Ok, I guess that's how they're being sent out now...looks like crap, tbh. I saw a couple of 1-star reviews on there because of the packaging...which is unfair, because the packaging has nothing to do with the music. |

Question...I ordered a High Drama CD from Amazon and just received it. Now, admittedly I haven't ordered a CD in a long time, but this came in a cardboard sleeve, with the picture on the front, and the tracks listed on the back. that's it. It wasn't even in a plastic case. Is that how CD's are sold these days? It looks really cheap, like somebody copied a CD or something. Times change. Plastic nowadays is seen as an environmental problem. I remember when I got my first CD in a cardboard sleeve maybe 25 years ago - it was by the German punk group Die Ärzte, and the package specifically specified it was made of paper for ecological reasons. When I turned my Amazon.ca-delivered CD sleeve around, at the very bottom it said "Made in Germany"... Hah! Cardboard sleeves are also lighter so they cost not only less to produce, but less to store and transport. I wouldn't call this one cheap as the print has glossy patches on the shattered glass pieces... The label on the disk itself looks quite cheap though. But since I used the disk only once to rip to MP3s for the car, it should be ok for one-time use. I prefer to listen to the Spotify version as it adds to the count and is easier to control. Also, historically speaking, LPs used to come in cardboard sleeves (and still do). Why shouldn't CDs do it the same way? |

twitter.com/allaboutvocals/status/1630707626844585984Adam Lambert is a GRAMMY-nominated pop vocalist releasing his anticipated album High Drama. The collection of eleven tunes presents new covers that strike a delicate balance between the familiar and adding a twist. Still, each song is held together by Lambert’s strong vocal skills and trademark flair. The American Idol alumnus also plays the role of executive producer, with the music being produced by Tommy English (Kacy Musgraves, Carly Rae Jepsen), Andrew Wells (Halsey, OneRepublic), George Moore, and Mark Crew. High Drama is a journey through classics like Ann Peebles’ “I Can’t Stand The Rain” and Bonnie Tyler’s “Holding Out For A Hero” to more recent hits like Billie Eilish’s “Getting Older” – here in a glam-inspired version – and a rock interpretation of Lana Del Rey’s “West Coast.” Other songs are a dancefloor version of “Sex On Fire” and an intimate playing of P! nk’s “My Attic.”
“Holding Out for a Hero” has swirling synths and a thumping synth bass line. Lambert’s vocal style is expressive and rich in tone and growl. His range is impressive as he climbs up the melodies intervals. Lambert also adds a lot of personality with glissandos and excellent control of vibrato. The melody is doubled in unison and, at times, with harmony. The bridge really shows off his range and added tasty guitar parts. The vocal counterpoint after the breakdown is spectacular; this is what pop vocalists should strive for. The guitar part is also outstanding, just like an 80s influence should be.
