Advantages: Likeable, Good music Disadvantages: Not as good as previous albums.
with thirteen tracks including two ten minute tracks with 5 little sections each, is well worth the money paid for it. At first listen, all the songs seem listen-to-able and decent in their own right. After a while some grow a bit tiresome but others still are great to listen to. The album has a bit of a mix of pop rock, rock, pop and pop punk. This is the track listing for the album:

Advantages: Pleasant easy-watching. Diverse and funny gallery of characters. Disadvantages: Quick-steps over the dance scenes. A little predictable.
Early on in the recent series of Strictly Come Dancing, I became an avid viewer. It was the first time, I had watched the series and I was fascinated by how quickly and how well the celebrity novice ballroom dancers learnt and performed such complicated steps and lifts. So when I saw the DVD "Shall we dance?" listed on the Tesco rental list, I had to watch it.
The film is an American remake of a Japanese film of the same name written and produced by Masayuki Suo in 1997. It is apparently reasonably faithful to the original however I am not in a position to comment having never seen the original. Audrey Wells adapted the screenplay for an American audience in 2004.
The premise of the film is quite simple. The central character of the film John Flynn (Richard Gere) is a successful lawyer happily married to Beverley (Susan Sarandon ...
Advantages: Powerful guitars and drum sound, great vocals Disadvantages: Not quite reaching top level all the way through
the first album, looked at the bands website every so often and had no idea that the second was coming out in the UK. I was just pure luck I spotted it in a local music emporium, and at the bargain price of £8.99 I was sure it must have been out for ages.
But no not only was it a new release but that was the RRP set by the record label Island, who obviously had no faith in the album selling at a normal price!
Something they really should not have worried because ?The Art of Losing? is every bit as good as the first album! It has more potential hits than ?American Hi-Fi? and is musically more accomplished.
The Band ?
Stacy Jones ? Guitar, vocals
James Arentzen ? Guitar, vocals
Drew Parsons ? Bass, vocals
Brian Nolan ? Drums, vocals
?You call me a loser,
Say I?m just a user,
But I?ll just keep on moving ...

Album Notes
More than a decade after his last release with Pete Rock, one of the most heartfelt lyricists of the 1990s returns with his debut solo album, AMERICAN ME. Surprisingly enough, the high-quality production from largely unknown beatmakers (Kaygee and Tramp of Divine Mill, Arsonist of the Heatmakerz, and Mike Loe) maintains that same balance of smooth and hardcore, making Pete Rock's virtual absence (he did produce one joint) a moot point. While the title track might never achieve the status of pointed political criticism, it certainly is poetry. Arguably the tightest comeback album of 2006, CL Smooth's AMERICAN ME has to make rap fans wonder what took him so long.
