All 'n' All - Earth, Wind & Fire

Advantages: Some great 70's and 80's tracks
Disadvantages: May just be for disco (and similar style) fans

...I've been a very naughty girl recently spending obscene amounts of money treating myself, disgraceful aren't I! Ok, so when I say obscene amounts of money I actually mean the grand sum of £2.10 and when I talk about treating myself, well it was on a 2nd hand CD on Ebay, but who cares about the minor details eh! So what was the must have CD that tempted me to spend such a huge wad of cash? Well it was Earth, Wind & Fire Lets Groove, once again proving my musical taste is much older than my age. Earth, Wind & Fire are an American band formed in the very late 60's who released some classic 1970's Disco hits and some 80's classics with a bit more of a R&B edge. The band have seen many line up changes over the years and have released nearly 40 albums which include studio albums, live recordings and compilations, their singles tally is over... Read review

Advantages: Fantastic tracks; brilliant opener.
Disadvantages: Poor inlay sleeve; weaker final track.

...erogenous zones! The sound grabbed me by the scruff of the neck and forced me to listen and the song became the bane of Anita’s life for months, as I flicked constantly through the channels hoping to catch it. It would now be wise to suggest something along the lines of… ‘you’ll like this if you like…’, but as I’ll hopefully demonstrate, there are many different sounds on offer on ‘Fire’ - punk, rock, disco and synth are all to be found. OK, so what do normally listen to? No help there, either… I have everything from 50s rock ‘n’ roll, through 60s rock, 70s punk, 80s rubbish, 90s Britpop right through to current rap (I know, I know! Don’t judge me!). Perhaps this is an album for everyone (think I’m even winning Anita over). The first track is, in my opinion, the best of the album. ‘Dance Commander’ opens with a simple drum/cymbal beat... Read review

...We all know my opinion on this particular band, well, anyone who has read a couple of my reviews will do anyway!!!!! This is the album that symbolises metallica, and the album that brought them to the plate so to speak. kill Em All is the very first album that metallica released mainstream, and considering it got absolutely no airplay whatsoever on the radio or television, the fact it got to number 10 in the album chart is testament to the power of the band's music. The 4 band members that produced the Kill Em All included James Hetfield (vocals and mean guitarist), Kirk Hammett (sublime lead guitarist from the school of Satriani), Lars Ulrich (insane drummer can't sing, but can't stop singing) and the man that a tribute must seriously go out to for being a part of making the metallica truck roll, and he is Cliff Burton...
