Believe - Yolanda Adams

Advantages: None
Disadvantages: Boring, Same Old Songs Rehashed, Embarrassing Lyrics

...Bryan Adams is unfortunately clutching at straws with his eleventh album and its rather predictable title "eleven". In releasing another album featuring yet more of the same old songs, Adams' record company bosses seem to have had a bit of a panic. Being the eleventh album by Adams, and containing eleven tracks (purposely listing the technical twelfth track "Way of the World" as a "bonus"), Adams' will play it on his "eleven dates, eleven cities" tour this year. Perhaps if this album had any merits worth mentioning I could view this as a clever little marketing ploy; instead, I just have visions in my head of music executives sat round a table going "this sounds just like his last five albums, what are we supposed to do with it?" The first three tracks are sweet, melodic laid-back little ditties far too similar to songs that most... Read review

Advantages: Bryan Adams's distinctive voice
Disadvantages: Some of the songs sound at times like they morph into each other

...I am a big fan of Bryan Adams,always have been and always will be,but to be honest this album just didnt do it for me,I mean it was Bryan Adams but in my opinion it is not the best album he has released. For me it is one of those inbetweeny albums. I dont really love it but i do enjoy listening to every so often -its his voice!

Advantages: A wonderful lyric based song
Disadvantages: most of the other songs on the album are crap

..."I never conquered, rarely came, tommorow holds such better days, days when i just feel alive, and i cant wait to get outside" Thats just part of the chorus of this masterpiece from Blink 182! Adam's song is a very sad song which is Track 7 on Enema of the State, an Album which saw Blink 182 come into the world as a very popular pop rock band. This song is the best song on the Album along with Going Away To College and a few others in this pop infested album. Adam's song is about a boy called Adam (naturally) who's teenage life is going wrong and everything is just a mess after he's split up with his girlfriend and he's contemplating suicide. The video for this song is pretty cool as it shows Blink 182 performing infront of a board full of pictures of happy memories with the camera zooming in on them and playing... Read review
