Monster Energy : Ultra Fantasy Ruby Red

Monster Energy : Ultra Fantasy Ruby Red

This “may be the best tasting Ultra yet!” according to the can, but that’s not much of a promotion. Carbonated Energy drinks are inherently flawed and this Monster is no exception. It does have a relatively pleasant “citrus taste”; it’s based on the Ruby Red grapefruit; but the bubbly sting, however mild, takes you out of the Fantasy.

my rating : 3 of 5

audio review : Better Broken ( album ) … Sarah McLachlan

audio review : Better Broken ( album ) ... Sarah McLachlan

Is Sarah McLachlan Better Broken? Perhaps. This is her best (non-Christmas) album since Surfacing. That’s not saying much; her last two are pretty bad; but it’s a mildly pleasant surprise. What’s shocking is her breakup with longtime producer Pierre Marchand, though his absence isn’t immediately apparent. Highlights include Reminds Me, featuring Katie Gavin, Wilderness and Gravity.
