No hype, no gloss, no pretence, just her, talent.
Review of Stripped - Christina Aguilera by  PhoenixChick

Advantages: too long to list!
Disadvantages: reaching the end of this album

...heart' 'make love, but don't fall in love' the sort of relationship that most guys seem to be after before they find the perfect person to settle down with. Dirrty ft. Redman. Sexy, funky and full of attitude! This is a dance-floor filler! Deep bass background, you just let yourself go! *grins* dance sexy with your mates, grind up against your bloke/girl or nearest mate! The beats are just great to swing your hips to! She's that ultra sexy girl that's known as a slut by most as that consoles them because they aren't as desired as her! Thrusting, punky, in-your-face this is the song that I started to get to know Christina from and the sluttish image came from. Girls, grab your boys, gonna make some noise!' Sounds like a song inspired from one of those illegal, mega cool, mega exclusive raves that so many people long to go - definitely... Read review

Keisha, Mutya, Heidi?!? Angels with dirty faces?
Review of Angels With Dirty Faces - Sugababes by  KaziR1cky

Advantages: Improved vocals (due to change in line up)
Disadvantages: Few cover tracks

...give more of an indication to the ladies voices and own unique sound. For instance Heidi sings a very slow verse towards the end of the song, Mutya's lyrics just seem to be sublime & her voice just compliments the lyrics and finally Keisha just has an incredible voice period. 4. Stronger I really like the beat to this track and has a much more serious tone to the song. This song i think has a very strong message which is that having belief in yourself can be a source of empowerment. 5. Supernatural More of an upbeat song and really funky beat to it. This song always makes me want to dance and just have fun. The music attracted me more compared to the words as it just has some quirkyness to it. 6. Angels with dirty faces The video of this feature the powerpuff girls, i think that they were featured as a result of a film. The video... Read review

...her face was just a smear on the pane
Review of Fold Your Hands Child You Walk Like A Peasant - Belle & Sebastian by  dreamerz

Advantages: Some of the bands finest material to date
Disadvantages: Let down my an equal measure of some of their worst

..., an excellent start, a pretty lyric and deliciously light melody that glues itself to your mind on repeated plays. ‘The Model’ is also excellent track, a bouncy harpsichord and piano drive the track, with a string section entering late on, while the interplay between the two vocalists is lovely. The track also features some of Stuart Murdoch’s finest lyrics including my personal favourite “I’m not to proud to say that I’m okay/with the girl next door next door who’s famous for showing her breasts”. There are several other superb tracks on ‘FYHC…’, ‘Don’t leave the Light On’ takes a long time to build up, but is true twilight music and deserves a place in any list of B&S’s finest. The real showstopper, however, is ‘The Chalet Lines’, a emotionally... Read review
