Angel Town - Katy Moffatt

Advantages: Some good tracks, unique voice
Disadvantages: Not as good as previous albums

...in the middle where there is about 30 seconds of just the instruments having a solo. 7.Scary Films I think this is one of my favourite tracks, theres a good beat to it and although it is still slow, it is faster than the other songs. Katie manages to sing about a wife murdering a husband with a knife and about horror films - but somehow unless you really listen it doesn't seem like she's singing about this.

Advantages: Great fun and a real treat to listen to...
Disadvantages: A few of the tracks are a little under par

Advantages: Better than Call of the Search and Piece by Piece!
Disadvantages: Quite gushy and sweet!

The best song on this album is Spellbound. Katie is a bit like MARMITE you either love her or you hate her. The album sets the scene for a love affair similar to Closest Thing to Crazy. Theres more to love about Katie, shes quite wacky and cool, she holds a Guinness World RECORD SO is the album any good? Pictures will be everything fans have expected and more. The haters are likely to find... Read review
