Advantages: Great Price . Great Compilation to own Disadvantages: None at all
...Wow I am really surprised no-one has reviewed this album yet.
Where do I start? Well its a double CD set the 1st Disc is called Pop and the 2nd Disc is called art. Ingenius isn't it!!!
O.K seriously the 1st Disc starts of with Go West which for you who didnt realise is actually a cover of a Village People song. Listening to all the tracks on here actually brings back some happy memorys of my teenage years (At the time of writing currently in my early 30's) so its a good old trip down memory lane. My favourite track on the 1st disc is What Have I Done To Deserve this where the Boys duet with the one and only Dusty Springfield. Other hi-lights include It's A Sin (reportedly an ode to Neil Tennants days at a Catholic school) , Heart , Domino Dancing and Where The Streets Have No Name (A U2 cover I believe). The 2nd Disc kicks of with Left...

Advantages: Richy was still there Disadvantages: not as good as the first
...this is the second album by the manics, they later said that they probobly shouldn't have made it and it never met the critical aclame that their first album did (Generation terrorists) or that their third album would later recive (The holy bible). It seems to me that it is a good mixture of the styles that the 1st and 3rd album contain. It ha the general anger and discontentment with the world that Generation Terrorists has but also the heart breaking depression of the holy bible. La tristesse Durea is i think most peoples fav track but Roses in the hospital has also got to be up there. If you are an early manics fan then i sujest you get this one....

Advantages: Dr. Dre's Beats with 50's lyrics = Multi-Platinum Disadvantages: Might bring danger upon himself with those lyrics.
...50 Cent's undeniable flows mixed with Dr. Dre's 1st class beats are nothing short of mind-blowing. "In Da Club" and "If I Can't", are no doubt club smashes to this day. "Paintiently Wating" featuring Eminem, will have you hitting the streets ready to fight anyone who looks at you sideways. This track is also one of several directed at fellow New York City rapper Ja Rule, who 50 and the rest of his label-mates attempt to humiliate on countless occasions. If you want to get a little soft you can skip to "21 Questions" with Nate Dogg killin' it on the chorus. This album has it all, and will leave you crying for a sophmore release. Once your done playing this album until it melts (which you will), hit the store again and cop "Beg For Mercy" by 50's group G-Unit. Holla back soon 50....We're waiting for the new album!...
