Advantages: Different to the norm, a bit of culture. Disadvantages: Not as many good songs as I was expecting.
...OK, so I'm assuming that we all know Shakira, from her belly-wiggling 'Whenever Wherever' hit, well, the album that that song came from managed a massive 13X platinum. Shakira has a total of 25 million+ album sales, and has gathered among literally hundreds of other awards, 3 Latin Grammys no less! Shakira is seen as a child prodigy, writing her first song at just 8 years old, and signing her first record contract with Sony Music Colombia at the age of just 13, amazing. So, it should come as no surprise that a lot of people have been waiting a long time for this album, including me!!
Fijacion Oral Vol.1 was released on June 7th 2005, and is to be followed up by Oral Fixation Vol.2 in November 2005. This is because Shakira sat down to write, and realised that she had clocked up 200 songs, after windling them down to her favourite 20...

It does though show off the full range of the Golf Records label, but detracts somewhat from the other outstanding bands that have offered themselves to this compilation. Every band, however, has to start somewhere.
'Another Round of Golf Vol.4' may not quite live up to people’s expectations after Vol.3, but for the first time buyer it is worth checking out.

Advantages: Good tracks, bonus material Disadvantages: A few too many mixes
...Have already rated the previous album (put your hands up vol.1) and many of my points apply to this album aswell. After continually listening to the first album i decided to buy this one aswell and again i was not disappointed.
There is again a brilliant mix of tracks over 3 CD's including several remixes and club mixes such as that of Camille Jonesvs Fedded le Grande-The Creeps (club mix). This i believe to be one of the best but there are 62 other tunes that you will just want to get up and dance to.
Again, as like the previous album there is bonus content on CD1 including 3 awesomw music videos including Fedde Le Grande-Put your hands up and Alex Gaudino-Destination Calabria. This is a really nice touch to the album and makes it a real gem....
