1001 Revolutions, The - Fort Lauderdale

Advantages: Lots of original songs in many different styles
Disadvantages: Not as good as their first album

...album was written after she met a boy called Eugene at a party and never heard from him. ~The Album~ Hang on Little Tomato is their second album, and although I prefer their first album, Symapthique, for its unbeatble classics such as "Amado Mio" and "Donde Estas Yolanda?", this is a great follow-up with plenty of new styles and sounds. A great thing about this album is that most of the songs were written by the band themselves, while the first album had quite a few covers, from when the band were starting out and didn't have as much of their own material. ~The Songs~ 1. Let's Never Stop Falling in Love (Lauderdale / Forbes) 3:03 2. Anna (El Negro Zumbon) (Vatro / Giordano) 2:34 This song is extremely catchy and with a beautiful Latin American beat, it's probably my favourite on the album.

My quest was actually spurred on by hearing the song Sympathique at a village festival in Switzerland and I just had to buy it!

Advantages: Well known band. Solid Past albums
Disadvantages: Out of date music

...Being a long time fan of oasis i bought the album as soon as it was released. To be blunt it is very disapointing and is basically a run of the mill release. The name sold the album and thats about all it has going for it. Die hard oasis fans will love it, but its nothing new. I was totally unhappy after shelling out good money for the album and it will now sit in the bottom of my cupboard and most likely never see the light of day again. I would advise people to listen to the album first on the internet and then make your choice. There are a 1001 better albums out there and can be obtained at a fraction of the price.... Read review
