Allegory - Adam Rogers

Advantages: Outstanding and groundbreaking tracks
Disadvantages: None

...Americans took it upon themselves to run the country! 8. The Magnificent Five - Not an Enyid Blighton book!! Seems to be a very different approach to Adam trying to decide upon his sexuality! "Which side of the fence are you on???" 9. Dont be square, be there - This is another song where they promote themselves! "Sex music for Antpeople, antmusic for sex people, get on your knees and hear the insect prayer" And apparently "Dirk wears white socks" Makes you wonder what exactly was going on in Mr Ants household at the time! 10. Jolly Roger - Well so far they have sung about Cowboys and Indians, so why not Pirates!! This track has a very theatrical feeling to it and you can almost see it being performed on a stage with all the pirate gear on etc 11. Making history - Seems as though Adam Ant had a fixation with death, this ones about murdering... Read review

Advantages: Some fantastic songs, generally strong cast
Disadvantages: Let down by a couple of very bad tracks, mostly at the end which brings the whole album down slightly

.... °°°Characters (Actors)°°° *Mark Cohen* (Anthony Rapp) - an amateur filmmaker. At the opening of the movie he starts a film of 'a year in the life' of homeless people in New York. This is a topic that runs throughout the story and it concludes with the film he has made. Anthony Rapp doesn't give a bad performance, but it isn't all that memorable either. *Tom Collins* (Jessie Martin) - he's a teacher of 'computer age philosophy' and seems to move around between jobs quite a bit. He also occasionally works as some kind of computer programmer. I think Jessie Martin has a very full-bodied voice and that makes all of his songs come across very strongly. He also has a gift for showing emotion in his tone. *Roger Davis* (Adam Pascal) - supposedly he's a songwriter, but he's got some form of musician's block and it takes him the entire year to write...

Advantages: A great rock album from Queen's drummer
Disadvantages: A few weak songs

...An amazing debut solo album written and performed entirely by Roger Taylor, the drummer of world famous rock band Queen. A great start with No Violins, a classic rock song followed by the 1970s single Future management and Good Times are Now. My Country I & II is my favourite track on the album and is great to listen to after a bad day at work! Although there are one or two weak tracks, like Fun In Space, the album is consistent and very enjoyable to listen to. After listening to all four of Roger Taylor's albums, I think this one has to be the best. A completely different to sound to most of Queen's music, this album is refreshing to listen to and Roger's vocals are great! I would definately recommend this album to any Queen or Roger Taylor fans, or anyone interested in trying some of his solo work.... Read review
