Definitely The Best

Advantages: A great album, lots of songs, all funny, moneys worth
Disadvantages: Can be boring if listened to lots.

What an album. Not only is Peter a fantastic comedian but he's also a great singer. All the songs are taken from the series of 'Phoenix Nights' and 'Max & Paddy'. His singing is very often cabaret but this is intentional. He has not done this to make a career in the singing industry. It’s sung to be funny and this is the only aim. There are some great classics on here. The always recognizable 'Way To Amarillo' features. A song that has become a legend ...

Review of Best Of Peter Kay, The (...So Far/Parental Advisory) [PA] - Various Artists

How much more black could this be? and the answer is none.

Advantages: You can turn this one all the way up to 11.
Disadvantages: Unfortunately this is not a real band.

...British heavy metal band released this collection of songs from the albums soundtrack as homage to the “Smell the Glove” album that they were promoting through the film. Due to the album being released as a soundtrack it never really received any great success chart wise and was mainly just purchased by those who, like me are great fans of the film. Now firstly let me start by saying that if you haven’t seen the film that accompanies this album it ...
...at least after you’ve read this anyway.) Like I’ve said the band themselves are completely factious everything from who they are to their previous career which was made up only for the purpose of the film. Just who are “Tap”? The main members of the band consist of some quite well known American actors, that’s right I did just type American as once you hear them talking in the film or singing on this album you would swear they where English. ...

Review of This Is Spinal Tap (Original Soundtrack) [Remastered] - Spinal Tap

Don't Laugh At Me Cause I Am A Reviewer.

Advantages: Buy this to listen to TWO great nostalgic songs.
Disadvantages: There are 20 awful songs as well!

...And My Gal" is also very good. In between, most of the other songs are slow tempo dreary sounding ballads set to mediocre string arrangements or very forgettable massively dated sounding ditty ballads accompanied by big band brass based arrangements. There are also a few cringe worthy duets that are also totally forgettable and some other rubbish songs where the instrumentation is just light percussion and a double bass. Many of the songs on this ...
...the 1950s. He is an iconic figure to this day in Albania. This is because his films were the only Western culture films that were permitted to be shown in Albania during the dictatorship of Enver Hoxha. If we were back in the days of the Cassette listening to this album would be torturous as you'd be constantly fast forwarding the tape. However, because this is a CD it’s an album worth having just to be able to play "Don't Laugh At Me (Cause I'm ...

Review of Very Best Of Norman Wisdom, The - Norman Wisdom

We are but men! Rock !!!!

Advantages: Great band, great vocals and music.
Disadvantages: Some weak links

...Kyle Gass who make up Tenacious D, you shouldn't give a crap about much, especially bad language etc. If you are this person, like me then this CD is for you. I have no edited the lyrics so there will be some swear words there. Just a warning. The Album A brilliant album, which isn't for everyone, this is why: Track 1- Keilbasa Even the first lines of the song show you that they don't care, it's showing them coming up with a song, ...
...this song got me into Tenacious D, such a brilliant song. Jack starts off just talking, with Kyle playing a great riff, there's some singing but it's mainly a spoken song. This song was their first UK release and this is what got them their success, and rightly so. The lyrics are amazing, and the fact that they managed to get the likes of Dave Grohl from the Foo Fighters (and Nivarna), shows their success. This song is just tongue in cheek throughout ...

Review of Tenacious D [PA] - Tenacious D

he is certainly weird...

Advantages: makes you laugh out loud
Disadvantages: takes a while to get into some songs

weird al yankovic creates the funniest songs and tunes ever in my opinion. he turns the lyrics in a song to make them extremely funny and it certainly works. e.g "i want it that way"- by the backstreet boys - turns into "which backstreet boy is gay". when i first listened to one of his songs "amish paradise" ("gangsters paradise") it reduced me to tears. dont get me wrong there was a couple of songs that were quite boring or took a while to get into ...
