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

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)

Nightmare! Here comes the beast again!

Advantages: Metal, nostalgic, incredibly funny
Disadvantages: Vulgar

...Comic Strip did their hilarious Bad News and More Bad News, came the Bad News album. A selection if spoof songs, all intentionally played badly, interspersed with dialogue of the band arguing, being interviewed, getting drunk and locking each other in the studio. Only the foulest of foul language is used throughout. HOWEVER: When I was fifteen (too long ago!), I was a huge heavy metal fan and many a breaktime, lunchtime and study period was spent ...
...The songs: Hey Hey Bad News - THE best singalong chorus ever written Warriors Of Ghengis Khan - "Baby, baby, baby, baby, babyyyyyy!" Bohemian Rhapsody - Bohemian Crapsody Bad News - Den's lead solo! Masturbike - enough said Drink 'til I Die - "Give me a drink, Mr Bartender…" The dialogue is often witty, often sublime, usually vulgar and always hilarious. If you like Heavy Metal, immature toilet humour and willy jokes, you must own this. ...

Review of Bad News - Bad News

A jug of Somerset's finest

Advantages: Almost the perfect party album
Disadvantages: one poor track.

The previous reviewer suggests you have to be from Somerset to really appreciate the Wurzels... I'd beg to differ. As far as I'm concerned, all you need is a healthy sense of humour, and an open mind when it comes to your music! This album is huge fun, and although the selection of songs are now a few years old (album was released in 2002) it still sounds great. The musicianship is first class as you would expect from guys who've been playing for ...
...ready - but then you would sound like that after a lifetime of drinking proper west country scrumpy! The track list is 1. Ooh- Aah Just a Little Bit (Gina G) 2. You're Gorgeous (Babybird) 3. Dead From The Waist Down (Catatonia) 4. Country House (Blur) 5. Don't Look Back In Anger (Oasis) 6 . Why Does It Always Rain On Me (Travis) 7. Tubthumping (Chumbawumba) 8. Come On Santa (Wurzels) 9. Rock D.J (Robbie Williams) 10. It Wasn't Me (Shaggy) ...

Review of Never Mind The Bullocks - Wurzels (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. ...
