Addams Family Values - Various Artists

Advantages:
Disadvantages:

...So you thought you knew Cypress hill. They've done it again those nasal whining, dope obsessed horror core hipsters Cypress hill, and they've brought out another cracking album Called 'Skull & Bones'. So this is thier fifth briliant album which take them to the next level, with out losing the ability to to write a memorable chorus. The trademark Cypress hill sound still rears its ugly head in the creaky violins of 'Cuban Necktie' and the addams family organ type thing of 'Stank ass hoe', but this time round massiv beats and swepin strings replace the ghostly squealing horn of yore. So these rap/rock stars are on a roll and confidentaly movin their ship into new waters.... Read review

Advantages: Good Songs
Disadvantages: Some Old Songs

...I think Bryan Addams is a good artist and I have a few of his releases. This isn't his best album I feel, but since it has a lot of his old releases on it, it makes it a classic. Here is the track listing 1. The Best Of Me 2. Can't Stop This Thing We Started 3. I'm Ready 4. Summer Of '69 5. Let's Make It A Night To Remember 6. All For Love 7. Have You Ever Really Loved A Woman 8. Run To You 9. Cloud Number 9 10. ( Everything I Do) I Do It For You 11. Back To You 12. When You're Gone 13. Please Forgive Me 14.

Advantages: New tracks from leading artists unavailable elsewhere, and for a good cause
Disadvantages: All recorded in one day, so may not be quite as polished as usual

...An excellent collection of todays top bands all coming together to record unreleased songs in one day for the Warchild charity. Coldplay, Radiohead, Keane, Gorillaz, Damien Rice, Magic Numbers (and 14 other established artists!) contribute excellent material and the whole work has a cohesive feel, tied together by the joint cause. My only gripe is Babyshambles, but there is no accounting for taste! Especially pleasing is that there are two of the foremost African artists at the moment, Emmanuel Jal and Tinariwen, giving the roster a more global outlook than the Live8 show. Running time comes to 76 minutes, so value for money cannot be doubted (especially considering Play and Amazon are selling it for £4.99 at the moment. Nevermind the quantity, here the quality....
