Array Music - Chroma

Advantages: Original, great for first time listning
Disadvantages: Short, so can be easily overplayed

...Debut album from the US indie band Panic! At The Disco. An overall good album. But like all music, it really just depends on which type of music you prefer. If you enjoy alternative / emo music this album would be well suited to your tastes. They tend to use witty and sometimes quite funny lyrics, with quite an origional combination of upbeat dance music and pop rock. Enjoyable, has a great array of differnt sounding tracks with very origional riffs and catchy tunes, but quite a short album. Although is definetly worth listning to if you like listneing bands such as 'Cobra Starship', 'Fall Out Boy' and 'My Chemical Romance'. Includes their first, and most well known single 'I Write Sins Not Tragadies'... Read review

Supernatural has sold more the ten million copies, which classes it as ‘Dectillion Platinum’. No mean feat by anyone’s standards. Carlos Santana teams up with a number of famous musicians. From the modern R&B talents of Lauren Hill to the older guitar maestro Eric Clapton. On this album is the top ten hit Smooth, which won best song and record of the year at the GRAMMYS, and features the vocals of Rob Thomas who is a member of the alternative-rock band Matchbox 20.

The result was Jackson’s most successful album, Night And Day, released in June 1982. The album was divided into two parts: the Day side was filled with slow, lush ballads, reflecting a new, introspective romanticism. The Night side, meanwhile, was mad eup of dance music - salsa, r&b, rock, the kind of music to be heard daily on the streets of New York. Night And Day was an enormous success, particularly in the US, and afforded another hit single in Steppin’ Out, which reached number 6 in both the US and UK charts.
