Best Of Christmas, The [Digipak] - Various Artists

Advantages: great selection of christmas classics
Disadvantages: singers doing covers of good songs,

...- Peace. We also have Michael Andrews & Gary Jules - Mad World. So if anybody out there is feeling miserable or down this year, might be wise to skip past this downright depressing song before the piano does its tinkling introduction. 'And I find it kind of funny, I find it kind of sad. The dreams in which I'm dying are the best I've ever had' Don't get me wrong I do like the song, but just because it was a christmas number 1 doesn't mean you need to stick it on an album which has so far managed to be reasonably up beat. You wouldn't put Bob the Builders Can we Fix it? or Girls Alouds Sound of the Underground on a christmas album, (well I hope not anyway) so why put on a track which could make you want to put your head in a gas oven? Overall I do love this album. Yes I did say love!! I've had it for a couple of years now and I... Read review

Advantages: Some good remixes and the price
Disadvantages: Not many, some fillers but i suppose you get that with every album

...This cd is an absolue bargain. I would highly recommend purchasing this as Bad Boy and Puff Daddy are well known for producing good remixes and the series of albums was a very good idea, another money spinning venture but one for the fans who had remixes on b sides of cd singles and recorded off the radio! Special Delivery - G Dep, Ghostface Killah, Keith Murray & Craig Mack. Quite a repetitive tune but a cult favourite. More likely to hear it in the clubs I Need A Girl Part 2 - Ginuwine, Mario Winans, P Diddy & Loon. Video and single released off the back of the successful part 1. Some say they prefer this version, i actual do and its one of the best tracks on the album Bad Boy For Life - P Diddy, Busta Rhymes & MOP. A shouty version of the original. Not bad but too much going on lyrically for me, my ears couldnt take it I Need... Read review

Advantages: Some good tracks
Disadvantages: Some Terrible Tracks

...my cart and awaited its arrival. The album itself consists of 63 of what Ministry of Sound must believe to be the best anthems over the past 18 years. These are all over 3 CD's and my honest opinion when I actually received it was quite disappointing as going through the CD's an actually listening to it, there were only several occasions where I thought in my head "Thats a Tune". The CD's are in no particular order and I feel that they dedicate majority of the album to a certain period within the 18 years, with the odd song cropping up from a certain year. If I was too make the compilation myself I would choose a whole set of different tracks. CD 1 1. Robin S - Show Me Love 2. Gat Decor - Passion I originally liked this when it was originally released and it was one of those tunes that did get me in the mood for going... Read review
