1972-1975 - Old Man & The Sea

Advantages: A few good tracks/ trying something different
Disadvantages: Very slow/ lyrics

...start and although this track is not the making of a number one single, it is a good track with a catchy chorus. I heard the other week that this is to be the next single. It may do well as 90% of people who still buy CD singles are a fickle bunch. "Who is the man I see/ Where I'm supposed to be?/ I lost my heart/ I buried it too deep/ Under the iron sea". 3/5 # Try again # And so I am forced to reach for more fags as, yes you guessed it, another slow and depressing track. to be fair, the lyrics are a lot better on this track and the track does some how keep going and the chorus clearly shows Chaplins vocal ability. But even that is short lived and before you know it I am flicking to the next track. "I fall asleep on a late night train/ I missed my stop and went round again/ why would I want to see you now?/ To fix it up... Read review

...the contrasting musical styles and tastes of Rafferty and Connolly worked well. But it was never a marriage made in heaven, and when as Gerry later commented, "Billy's jokes were getting longer and longer, the songs shorter and shorter", the break-up was almost inevitable. To this day though, the two remain firm friends. ~ ~ Gerry’s first solo album was called “Can I Have My Money Back?”. Released in 1971, it wasn’t a huge seller, but received good reviews from the music press, and brought him to the attention of some of the big names in the music world. In 1972 he hooked up with an old mate called Joe Egan, and they formed a group called “Stealers Wheel”. Between 1972 and 1975 this band released three albums, and produced yet another classic song for which they will always be remembered called “Stuck... Read review

Advantages: Nice guest rappers like Ghostface and Raekwon turn up at AFTERPARTY and THE TURN respectively.
Disadvantages: The lyrics from Method man are disgusting and the musical production is revolting! SAY WHAT?

...that encompasses good quality lyricism and scintillating delivery. This is what made Method Man an exciting Hip Hop performer in the first place. This also applies to the charisma he used to show on his debut album, 'Tical' and all the old Wu-Tang classics like 'Only Built For Cuban Linx''. In my opinion, After Party is the zenith of Method Man's 'TICAL 0: THE PREQUEL' and that is no question! Rating: 8/10 16. CROOKED LETTER I (3:48 min) featuring Streetlife Produced by Denaun Porter for Mr Porter Productions Inc. Method Man and Streetlife return to the microphone one more time to contaminate my ears with a lifeless piece of music that stinks of whackness. I couldn't be bothered to talk about the lyrics from either rapper because their concepts of CROOKED LETTER I don't make a lot of sense to me. The flow... Read review
