Accept Box, The - Accept

Advantages: sweet love songs with great words
Disadvantages: a little too sloppy for some maybe?

...One of her best albums so far with great tracks like Hero, Without You that are extremely powerful and excellent songs.. she has so much emotion in her voice and you know she is realy feeling what she is singing. A smooth, sweet and very soulful voice, outstandilngly talented all of the tracks are good or excellent accept for maybe one or two that are a bit jumpy and too gospel for me. She has a very unique voice and one that you recognise straight away, she has amazing natural talent and delivers excellent feel good music in this album Lots of inspiring lyrics that most of us can relate too..Vocally a very impressive album as with most of Mariah Careys work. Definately worth buying and adding to your cd collection. Very Good.... Read review

...If the Boomtown Rats’ self titled debut album broke them through to the nation’s consciousness, it was their second album, A Tonic For The Troops, that really consolidated their position as one of the premier standard bearers for the disaffected, deeply bored youth of the nation. They were always the acceptable face of punk rock and quickly seemed to become the court jesters of punk rock, mainly due to the pyjama clad keyboardist Johnny Fingers and the diminutive bassist Pete Briquette.

The set saw them distance themselves from the worst excesses of orthodox hard core punk and establish themselves as gifted purveyors of an exciting mix of rock, pop and r&b. In many ways, that was both... Read review
