Our Kid Eh?

Advantages: Funny lyrics
Disadvantages: After one play, it's boring

I first bought this when it was first released in 2001/2 (I can't remember) and I gave it the quick once-through before it ended up on the eternal abyss of my 'music-shelf.' Just to clarify, I operate a music system, the good albums stay in an ever-increasing pile near my stereo. Now, what set's The Shirehorses apart from other bands? Firstly, it includes BBC Radio 1's favourites Mark & Lard - combined with the insanely monnikered 'The Dark Horse' ...
...rather low quality, of The Shirehorses performing at "The Enormodome", if that is indeed a real place. You get 'A Roll With It', 'Feel Like Sh***' and 'Country Spouse.' The first song on the CD is 'If You Tolerate This Pi**' which is by the 'Manic Street Sweepers.' As you can guess, this is a parody of the hit single 'If You Tolerate This...' by the Rock band 'Manic St. Preachers.' The song starts well, but trails off near the end and only manages ...

Review of Our Kid Eh [ECD] - Shirehorses (The)

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

The Prophets Never Mentioned Socks

Advantages: Fitth Hounds of Hades
Disadvantages: There is No Proper Name For The back of the Knees

...the extreme. Take Sir Henry for example a pompous arrogant buffoon with very few redeeming qualities to his character. He drip feeds his marrow, described as a monstrous jade zebra veg, the reason for this being "should some rascal half-inch and eat it, it'll give him the liquorice for weeks" very quickly we are faced with the full pomposity of Sir Henry's character and in here there is definitely shades of Churchill being saterised, quite viciously. ...
...one who could live with Sir Henry would have to have both these qualities. Sir Henries attitude to the staff is shockingly bad they are there to satisfy his needs and nothing else his request to the housekeeper Mrs E "I don't know what I want, but I want it now" shows this quite clearly, as is his repost to Old Scrotum "You are supposed to love me, You vile Jelly" before hitting him over the head with a gun reinforces this. Vivian's ability to use ...

Review of Sir Henry At Rawlinson End - Vivian Stanshall

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 ...
