4 Aces - Texas Tornados (The)

Advantages: Great blues!
Disadvantages: None. Whatsoever.

...I have to admit I found Johnny Winter totally by chance. I was in a record shop and saw a CD in a round, metal case. "Johnny Winter? The Texas Tornado? I'll buy that!" So I did. What I found was a musician, Johnny Winter, who is a hard rocking bluesman of consummate skill. Johnny Winter is such a accomplished bluesman that I have to admit that it came as something of a shock to discover that Johnny Winter is a white Texan. Though he reveals that he hung out in the black part of his hometown in Texas, such was his fever for the blues. And, Winter maintains that it was his sincerity about his passion for the blues that meant that he was safe there. Even though Beaumont had not long before suffered form some terrible racially-inspired riots. Winter's blue's sound as if they were recorded in the 1940s or 1950s. Actually, I was... Read review

Advantages: good graphics,awesome gameplay
Disadvantages: system of saving game

...The best of the grand theft auto series. GTA4 has cool graphics and awesome gameplay. It has a big map with good detailing. It's gameplay is three times longer than the gameplay of the last version :-GTA SANANDREAS. The missions in this game are also dificult to be done, unless one is a good gamer. When we play the game it seems that the characters in the game have come out of the T.V screen, as it has excellent graphics. The cars have also changed in this version, there are new cars which offer high speed and stablity . Everything has changed and is better than the older versions except the system of saving a game (To save a game you have to visit a safehouse) which is a major drawback... Read review

Advantages: Tuneful,classic pop-rock,best of the 90s.Lyrically,musically and vocally chairming and catchy
Disadvantages: If you dont like pop/rock then you might not enjoy this blast from the past.

...Right so today I am really on one with bands/albums ranging from the mid 80s to the late 90s and seeing as I am, what sort of reviewer would I be if I didn't at least give a quick mention to Texas? Southside by Texas is one of their most acclaimed albums. Released in 1995 with timeless classics like 'I dont want a lover', the album still rings true with audiences today. Although they have taken their name from an american state, they are essentially a Scottish pop/rock band. Their music does seem to adopt some of the texan stealy guitar sound and although singer and rhythm guiatris Sharleen Spiter has a lovely Scottish accent, she sings with an american accent (which is a shame but common of the era). This album has some really great pop songs, I dont Want a Lover being one of many. The overal quality of the vocals is really... Read review
