20 Ways To Float Through Walls [Digipak] - Various Artists

Advantages: Classic track 'Bulldozer' & 4 bonus tracks, good production job
Disadvantages: By far the worst Machine Head Album let down by weak lyrical content

...Machine Head gone?, and why does Robb Flynn sound like Tarzan? well his answer was "I was singing the riff to the song...it just happened to sound like tarzan" yeah right, it's the most stupid song intro that the band have ever done. If you want this not so 'Supercharger' summed up in one song, this is it 'American High'!!!!!! 'Brown Acid' Sounds exactly that way too. At only 1 minute in length, Robb may as well be forcing one out on the loo, because thats what it sounds like. The worst instrumental I've ever heard and a pointless gap. 'Nausea', A spacey track that plods with guitar effects and Robb singing his way through Ahrues strange noises. Has a really good lead up to the chorus with a monster riff errupting. But the verses are a bit naff! It does have quite a nice guitar solo about 3/4 of the way through, and the band do seem to be... Read review

Advantages: Some good tracks
Disadvantages: Some weak tracks

...I'm not usually a big fan of soundtrack CDs. Sometimes they work and the music is evocative of a great film or television series. But often, the music tracks are too varied and you'll find you like some and hate others. But I decided to buy the soundtrack CD to Ashes to Ashes, because the music is integral to the television series and while watching it, I often remarked on how good the music was. Ashes to Ashes is set in 1981 when I was 11-12 and fairly regularly buying singles, so I did think it would be worth buying this album. The 1980s theme of the series is great and it is reproduced well in this CD. The album has twenty songs from the time, plus a couple of short interludes and the theme tune to the TV series. It lasts a total of 69 minutes. The CD is a Digipak version, whereas I really prefer the more sturdy box. It... Read review

Advantages: Chris Brown is back
Disadvantages: Overly long video

...Some of you may have seen my review on Chris Brown's 2005 self-titled album, where he broke through with his debut album as a 16 year old with music that had a broard appeal. Now Chris Brown is back in 2007, and finally of age and able to sing about more 18 year old stuff.. well, if he wanted to that is. 'Wall to Wall' is set to be his comeback single taken off his second album, 'Exclusive', and does it have the same appeal as his first smash hit, 'Run It'? Chris Brown has stated that he wants his second album to appeal to the same audiance as his first, however not to alienate the people growing up with music he has said he will throw a few 'older joints' on to the album. I find 'Wall to Wall' very similar to 'Run It' though, in that it is an easy going party song. I can't say that it hits you as strong as 'Run It' did, although it... Read review
