>>J!-ENT world groove

The following music reviews were done as early as July 2006 up to present time. The most recent interview is listed on top.

The following reviews are based on actual albums and CD singles. J!-ENT reviews only authentic CD's (and DVD's if included with the CD) provided to us by the record labels, purchased by us or MP3 album downloads provided to us by legal file sharing companies such as japanfiles.com. We are asked frequently how we review things before they come out and the answer is because we are provided the review material around two weeks to a month before it is release by the record labels. We do not review albums or CD singles that are illegally downloaded MP3 files, nor do we answer e-mails or fulfill requests from people who ask if we can upload the album or DVD's online illegally.

Please note that because the CD's are provided to us by the record labels, running changes or different cover art may vary from final product. Also, some reviews may have sound samples included, by the request of the label to include it with our review..

We do our best to cover the contents of the album (because there are far too many reviews on the Internet based off of MP3 reviews and do not review the CD as an entire package i.e. contents and DVD contents if any) and we do not add scores or a letter grade to our albums. We either recommend it or we don't. Personally, everyone has different tastes in music. We can give you our opinion but we have had experiences where we like or dislike an album and then a month or so later, our opinions change.

A lot of our reviews done before 2006 are not on here but you will find reviews from 2006-present and also several reviews from a few years ago and "classics" which are reviews of albums from a decade or more ago.

And last, we know errors do happen and if for some reason, you find an error in our reviews, please let us know.
