Concrete Jungle - Monty Alexander

Advantages: the best 2-tone ever
Disadvantages:

...An excellent record, and now that it's been reissued at mid-price it has to be a must in everyone's collection. At the beginning of the 80's 2-tone burst onto the music scene and gave it a last reminder of the spirit of 77 before bland corporate pop threatened to take over music for the rest of the decade. The main 2-tone act were the Specials and this was their 1st album. Whilst not containing undoubted gems such as "Gangsters", "Rat Race" and "Ghost Town" it does include "Too much Too Young" their 1st UK #1 and could be bought for this alone. The addition of other lesser known songs such as Do the Dog, Monkey Man, & Concrete Jungle just goes to prove how vital they were. For anyone who like's SKA or even punk - this is a must have...

Advantages: Great CD, good quality
Disadvantages: NONE

...Black label society are wicked im currently buying loads of there albums and i resently brought this one "Shot to hell". Zakk Wylde is an amazing guitar player with an original sound that just gets the adrenaline going and he even has an ozzy sounding voice. This CD contains 13 tracks of pumping mind blowing rock if you are a black label society fan then you have to have this cd. It also makes pretty good driving songs as well. I definatly reccomend this to anyone i got shown one of black label society songs and i love then i havent stop listening they are now in my top band list. This Cd is AMAZING and well worth the money its only about £5. BLACK LABEL SOCIETY RULE!!! The track list is below: 1. Concrete Jungle 2. Black Mass Reverends 3. Blacked Out World 4. Last Goodbye, The 5. Give Yourself To Me 6. Nothing's The Same... Read review

Advantages: THIS IS A LIVE ALBUM
Disadvantages: Bob Marley isn't alive to sign it himself!

...This is a truly great album, its as close as you can get to the real thing with a full 1 hour and 13 minutes of live Bob Marley and the Wailers. Listening to the album is an experience. This live version is extreamly good quality from the sound recording and the band also the fact its been remasterd makes it alot more crisp.. Many of Marleys live recordings have had poor sound quality and normaly wouldn't be able to be played as background music as it can be hard to make out, but this version is very clear. I realy love the songs they play, its one of the best set lists that could of been choosen. Most the songs are extended and have good never heard before endings. . Featuring the classics: 1. POSITIVE VIBRATION 2. PUNKY REGGAE PARTY 3. EXODUS 4. STIR IT UP 5. RAT RACE 6. CONCRETE JUNGLE 7. KINKY REGGAE 8. LIVELY UP YOURSELF 9... Read review
