And Take It With A Grain Of Salt - An Angle

Advantages: Everything
Disadvantages: NONE

...You have no doubt heard all the commotion surrounding controversial rapping sensation Eminem. Have you actually listened to his music? This album is much better than the first with the already classic ‘Stan’ and the haunting ‘Kim’ (where you listen to an argument with Eminem eventually killing his wife) showing what a contrast this man can develop in just 1 hour and 12 minutes. Eighteen tracks is also great value for money isn’t it? I love this album and think any fan of music should buy it just to see what everyone is talking about and also to enjoy top class lyrics. Please be warned, he is very offensive so you must, I quote “take each song with a grain of salt”.... Read review

...The so called "crusty" scene of the late eighties produced a number interesting and non-conformist bands, most of which came and went quicker than you could say Chumbawamba.

No big statements, no politics, no obvious protests, just a look at the world from a different angle. The first thing that strikes you is the arrangement and quality of the vocals... Read review

...such as ''If I Survive'' and ''High Life'' you are pounded with an array of blistering breaks and base lines that shake your senses and put you in an all night clubbing mood with seconds. Other tracks on the album include ''Finished Symphony'' a track filled with so much emotion and unique sounds this has to be my favorite all time electronic record. If you have ever been a fan of any type of electronic music I'm sure you will enjoy this album. I've even had hardcore Drum'n'Base fans asking to hear more. Hybrid have combined a Russian orchestra with a mixing studio and produces an album like no other. Completely original and completely breath taking. I chose to get the limited edition version of the album called ''WIder Angle'' which includes a live CD recorded in Sydney but if you cannot find that ''Wide Angle'' is more than... Read review
