Bright Yellow Flowers On A Dark Double Bed - Zephyrs (The)

Advantages: Great music
Disadvantages: Not alot of singles

...Although many Red Hot Chili Peppers fans dislike this somewhat adventurous album, I'll be the first to say this is my favorite of theirs. The Chili Peppers are known for fusing elements of funk, punk and other genres, but here in By The Way, we hear a more poppy, bright sound to the band. And even though the old funk-rock stuff is great, there is something about this album that just makes you feel really good. They haven't changed their sound too much though, Flea's basslines are still as funky as ever! Track 1 - By The Way: A great opener. Flea's funky bassline and John Fruciante's harmonies and scratching guitar make this song just so good to listen to. Track 2 - Universally Speaking: Another great song, excellant way to continue the album. Chad Smith's upbeat drums just driving the song the whole way through. This is just... Read review

Advantages: Lots of variety, not just one artist
Disadvantages: None, it's all brilliant!

...I really suggest that everyone should buy the Now 46 album, all my family and friends liked it. I makes up part of the Now collection of 46 double compact disks. For only £13.99 (the price of some albums) it it packed with 43 top chart hits from the last 6 months. I like it's cool, bright and attractive blue and yellow colour and is easy noticeable in shops (duh!). It contains some great hits like Oops! ... I Did It Again from Brit Spears, Mary Mary Shackles (Praise You), Billie Piper Day and Night, Moby Porcelain and the Bloodhound Gang's Bad Touch! These are only some of the cool summer songs!...

Advantages: If your looking for evil music, you've definately found it here!
Disadvantages: It may be too brutal for some people as it is extreme metal.

...Those of you who know quite a bit about the Underground Black Metal scene will know that Darkthrone are in fact one of the genre’s finer parts, or maybe that should be grimmer parts. After giving it a bit of thought (and being given a bit of advice by “Rude”) I decided to get “A Blaze in the Northern Sky”. The opening song “Kathaarian Life Code” is a spooky and brutal song. It starts with some chants from Fenriz (drummer, lyrics), and some strange grunts from vocalist Nocturno Culto. Just after reaching the minute mark, the song completely changes. Enter crushing riffs, mad drumming and a vocalist who has a gut wrenchingly evil scream! There are many, many pace changes throughout this album. One minute Fenriz is giving the drums a light tap, the next minute he is pounding the hell out of them! Both Zephyrous (rhythm guitar... Read review
