Advantages: A good mix of songs Disadvantages: Doesnt help you get through the housework
A cd thats a couple of years old now but still fun to listen to.
I mean this cd says its meant to help you through the housework but I personally dont think it really does,if anything it distracts you,because you just start singing along to all the great tracks this album has to offer, you get caught up in the music and completely lose track of what you were doing - maybe a good thing in a way :-)

Advantages: Performances, Social Realism Disadvantages: May be too shocking for some
Aside from being a film second in the history book for the most occurrences of the word "fuck", Nil By Mouth is an incredibly powerful portrayal of director and writer Gary Oldman's experiences growing up on a London council estate.
Oldman's authentic (seemingly improvised) screenplay is exposed to full effect by Ray Winstone's powerful performance as the foul-mouthed, substance abusing husband, who beats and verbally abuses his pregnant wife (Kathy Burke, who is also very impressive in her role).
But aside from being just a pointless exercise in violent filmmaking, Nil By Mouth explores the deeper issues of poverty and one man's inability to convey his feelings, and how these have an effect upon the family lifestyle.
