Being A Firefighter Isn't Just About Squirting Water - Hafler Trio (The)

Advantages: Some Brilliant Tracks, Relaxing...
Disadvantages: Some Not So Great Tracks...

...before he moved away. So a high rate for another great Omni Trio song due to it's images it creates and it's peaceful sounds. Although the song isn't my favourite song on the album because it just didn't clench my taste as much as the others... I would recomend you try out this track and see what you think... 4.08 minutes!!!...... ---------------------------- Track 9 - Kashmir ---------------------------- Kind of a strange name for this song, I must admit that but the song itself is no joke... The start of the song is horrible. The effects a terrible but hey it could only get better. There is nothing special until the song gets in to about a quarter way through, then the song gets more interesting... A the song progresses even further, the song sounds quite sad and quite a depressing kind of tune. This is such a change... Read review

Advantages: consistency of tracks is excellent, with a range of influences and styles
Disadvantages: Some of the lyrics and choice of collaborators

.... The stab at R'n'B is next, with contributions from reggae/pop star Diane King (remember Shy Guy?) and female vocal trio Brownstone on "Treat her like a Lady". Celine's voice doesn't lend itself to a Jamaican twang and is quite humorous to listen to! The melody is catchy, but this song just isn't suited to Celine's style. It was awarded with a lowly 29 placing on the UK charts when released at the tail end of the album's appeal. The other collaborations are from Barbra Streisand on "Tell Him" which, if rumours are to be believed, was recorded separately by the two divas, despite what the video may portray (Celine and Babs singing whistfully into eachother's eyes).

Advantages: Neptunes Production, A Couple of Decent Joints, ODB
Disadvantages: Commercial Artists and Songs, Terrible Rappers

.... The beat thankfully stays the same, with that epic piano and trumpet medley which is definetely head-knodding and one of the best Neptunes beat ever. The lyrics in my opinion, are watered-down on this version, with less memorable punchlines and less witty clever flows. The Clipse stays with their slightly above average performance, but the guests get a tad bit on the annoying side. It was smart to put this track on this album, since it'll definetely help sell the album. Noreaga and Pharrell drop by to make an absolutely terrible clubbish song "Put Em Up". This could be the worst song on this entire album. The clubbish beat, overproduced bullsh*t, triple-cadence flow and female vocals make this as commercial as it can possibly get. I dont know who started that crap about Noreaga being a dope lyricist, cause he is FAR from it. Noreaga... Read review
