As you may already know, thanks to MySpace many of the albums that we review can be heard in their entirety for free online. Well now, thanks to Google, a number of books that we review can be read either in their entirety or, in some cases, most of their entirety for free, as well!

Head on over to our Recommended “Required Reading” article and check them out!

Well, after a few years, it was finally time for a change. In fact, it was time for a complete site overhaul (and when we say ‘complete,’ we mean it )!

Everything— from the design and interactive features you see to the framework that the site is built on— is entirely new (and even many of our reviews have been extensively updated!).

Plus, best of all, you now have the ability to quickly and easily search our site for whatever you’re looking for, to subscribe to us so that you can get every review delivered to you as soon as it’s posted, and to voice your own opinions through comments at the bottom of every review!

Please take a look around, interact with, and enjoy ListenUpReviews 2.0!

Happy New Year!

Last month (Dec. ’07) we worked behind the scenes on our first-of-the-New-Year design upgrade, and now it’s complete! Included in this upgrade was a reorganization of the navigation links at the top of the page, placing them in a more intuitive order; along with several other small changes.

Now we’re on to the next project— the 2007 Music Awards— to be released on March 1st! Until then, enjoy the brand-new upgrades and continual adds… and we hope you have a wonderful 2008!

Well, since our last news bulletin we’ve added even more band photos, and updated and added more music, live show, and novel reviews… and, since it’s almost Christmas time, we also put together a special gift for you— a list of the best Rocking Christmas music for your enjoyment!

We’ll feature the Rockin’ Christmas Picks here on the homepage from the first of November through the end of December, and you’ll also be able to view it anytime in our Articles section. And, if and when we need to add music to the list in the future, we will!

Enjoy the new material, and have a safe, Blessed, and Merry Christmas!

We have a lot of news!

First, the results are in and it’s time to give out the awards! Our Music Awards feature the best bands, albums, festivals, and live shows of the year. And to celebrate our First Annual, 2005 Edition, we didn’t just review 2005′s best… we included prior years, as well! Due to the gigantic nature of this task, we ended up simultaneously working on the Second Annual, 2006 edition; and now we have released both at the same time! To get more info on our Awards and see who won, check out our Music Awards section.

Next, we have recently added two new categories! Our Music section now includes Radio Stations and TV Stations— see our reviews of some great music stations near you, both locally and streaming on the web.

If you liked this site before, you’re going to love it now! Check out our Awards and new category additions— and keep checking back often in all of our categories for updated and brand new reviews!

ListenUpReviews.com is now up and running! We have posted some reviews in all of the categories, and we’ll be updating them and adding new reviews constantly. We are also currently working on our first annual Music Awards, which are going to be huge, as for this first edition we will be awarding music that is also from previous years. (Consequently, the ’05 Awards will probably take much longer to finalize than the next editions— apologies in advance. ).

Enjoy our site, and keep checking back often for new and updated content!
