Classics 1949-1951 - Sunnyland Slim

Advantages: Phenomenal, yet sick Debut
Disadvantages: Some weaker moments as expected

...in the mainstream, the unbelievable "My Name Is...". If you haven't heard this track yet, i suggest that you are either braindead, deaf, or stupid, as it is the lead-single. Featuring a twist on the classic G-Funkish Dr. Dre sounds, Dre laces a classic beat for Eminem to showcase his unique, witty, and humorous storytelling, introducing his alter-ego Slim Shady to the world.

Advantages: All the classics and bonus dvd!
Disadvantages: A phew bad songs unfortunatley

...I have owend this great album for a while now and its great, there are some good and bad things about it. l'll start with the advantages, it has great songs, all the classics, it includes a bonus dvd with a list of 10 song videos by fat boy slim, including a best seller, ' Ya Mama '. But now unfortunatley to the negatives, the are songs on the album which are not the sort of songs you would want playing outloud when driving in your car, unless you have tinted windows, some very bad songs have been added so that it can be classed as an album, but then again the rest of the songs are soo good it all equals out! Personally i love it, it has all my favorite fatboy slim songs on it. if you are one of the Fat Boy Slim loving fans then i strongly recomend this one for you lot out there, you cant go wrong with this one....

Advantages: GREAT SOUNDS
Disadvantages: NONE

...I HAVE NEVER REALLY BEEN A BIG FAN OF THE LATEST DANCE MUSIC BUT I THOUGHT THAT I WOULD BUY THIS ALBUM AS IT WAS ON OFFER AT THE TIME AND I HAD ENJOYED SOME OF THE MUSIC THAT I HAD HEARD FROM FATBOY SLIM SO I THOUGHT I WOULD GIVE IT A TRY. I WAS PLEASANLY SUPRISED. EACH TRACK IS VERY LONG WHICH MEANS THAT IT REALLY IS GREAT VALUE FOR THE MONEY. EACH TRACK IS COMPLETLEY DIFFERENT AND I FOUBD THAT I COULD RECOGNISE MANY OF THE TRACKS. THE ALBUM CONTAINS ALOT OF THE CLASSIC HITS FOR EXAMPLE ROCKAFELLA SKUNK. I WOULD SAY HOWEVEER THAT THIS ALBUM WILL ONLY APPEAL TO A CERTAIN RANGE OF AUDIENCE. I HAVE NOW BEEN TEMPTED TO BUY OTHER PRODUCTS FROM THE FATBOY SLIM RANGE.... Read review
