Black - Belgium 2008 [Digipak] - Various Artists

Advantages: One of the freshest albums of recent times
Disadvantages: Can be a bit harsh on the mainstream ear

...There's very little a rock band can do to impress, these days Certainly the recent batch of UK groups tend to fall short in the excitement department. This is certainly not true of Belgium's Soulwax If you are a fan of melodic yet powerful (and slightly twisted) rock music, then this is an essential purchase. From the opening bars of the first track "Conversation Intercom" you know you are in for a treat! This isn't to say that Soulwax are 100% original. Far from it, but their not afraid to show their influences. Think Beatles with their amps turned up to 11! Sometimes they even sound like their fellow countrymen Deus Most of the time, though, they sound like a breath of fresh air in an otherwise stagnant musical genre. Long may they continue. Maybe us Brits can learn a thing or two!!... Read review

Advantages: Lots of hits sung live.
Disadvantages: None

...The CD 'Live, Live, Live' was recorded during a tour of Belgium in 1988 and contains most of Bryan Adams hits ( at that time ) and best songs. The CD includes tracks such as 'Heaven', 'Run to you', 'Summer of '69', 'Cuts like a knife', 'She's only happy when she's dancin', 'One night love affair', 'It's only love', 'I fought the law' and 'Kids wanna rock'. Many others are included, 17 in total. This CD is a must for Bryan Adams fans, especially those who want to reminisce about times gone by and concerts visited.... Read review

Advantages: Another new direction for Metallica, very emotional showing from Hetfield, lots of extras
Disadvantages: Annoying snare drum beat, production not as good as previous Metallica releases.

....99. Delivery within Europe is free, and it got to me within 3 days, via first class post from Belgium (the album was released on the 5th and I recieved on the 6th, with it dispatched on the 3rd). However, it should be in all major record shops at time of writing priced at £11.99 Review by Karl, 12th June 2003... Read review
