As Promised - Alex Bugnon

Advantages: An album that justifys that price you pay, amazing vocals, strong lyrics, epic sound
Disadvantages: NONE

...One of the Greatest Albums of modern times. An album with no fillers, no dreariness, no emptiness. A unique case in which reality meets the hype and the sound of a generation is captured. Alex Turner (Front Man) presents Lyrics that are rebellious although present a raw portrayal of modern truth. Anxious guitars with racing drums creates a sound of vigorous roar adding to the intensity and momentum that gathers through every passing track. I put it to you that Alex Turner is a genius, an unquestionable talent that has unleashed an album that is both consistant and intelligent although most importantly an album of undoubtable class. A review of each track would have you bored and theres no way i could capture the quality or tell you the signifigance of each track.

Disadvantages: fades badly in some areas....

..., but something I've found quite often with these guys is that it can be very hard to decipher the meaning behind their lyrics, but hey, it's no necessity when you just sit back and listen" Dad: "the album over yet ?" Alex: "hey, you wanted to listen, so listen….besides there's still a couple of tracks to go; not that they're up to much. Nightside Of Eden is a little to poppy for me, despite starting off promisingly, it fades away to become merely 'filler', as much as it hurts me to say. The penultimate track 'Venus (In Our Blood)' opens pretty promisingly as well, but again leads off after a minute or two. It's a shame to be honest, because they're far better than this" Dad: "why shell out the cash then, if it's not up to scratch ?" Alex: "you know me dad, always pay up on a whim. Besides, the good tracks just about outweigh the bad, making... Read review
