Full review

I say this album, really cheap in a charity shop. I've only just recently bought it, therefore I haven't listened to it yet. While I'm listening to it, I'll be writing my personal review on each track.

here's my review:

1) Rock 'n' Roll Star
I like this song as it's pretty catchy and a really good song. Personally people might see me listening to this but I don't really like Oasis so maybe they won't. The lyrics are good but there is a lot of repetition with the lyrics, which is good if it's only repeated once or twice, or at the end but hundreds of times doesn't make it a great song.

2) Shakermaker
I also like this song, at the moment I'm surprised that I like these song, but this song also has bad points as the words "shake along with me" is also repeated a lot! this song is a pretty long song. and a bit boring. I wouldn't be listening to this!

3) live forever
This song was pretty much as the same one before because there was a load of repetition and the music was slightly the same. Except I didn't enjoy this song as much although the name of it was given appropriately, as the lyrics fit into "live forever" and what it would be like!

4) Up in the Sky
The title yet again matches almost perfectly but it would have been better to be called something else. The song sounded the same as the one before because it had the same melody. The only difference, as far as I can think of, is that the lyrics have changed.
They should have called it "Hey You" The reason I think this is because the song goes:

Hey You
up in the sky...

Hey You
Up in the tree...

5) Columbia
This song is yet again same as the others. All I think is that they are just changing the tracks to make it easier to make rather than all the fuss of creating new songs. The lyrics have no influence or connection towards the title, all it has is some sort of explanation to tell you that he's on holiday (a.k.a. Vacation) The repeating of both the same words and the same sort of melody is starting to give me a really bad headache.

6) Supersonic
This song yet again is the same as the other arghhhhhhhh This is giving me such an enormous headache. It's hurting quite a lot. There is no initial context to prove that the lyrics are initially linked towards the song. I am getting bored with these songs!

7) Bring it on Down
Somehow I prefer this song, but at the moment I adore track 1 "Rock 'n' Roll Star". The reason I like this song is because it's slightly different to the others, It gives it a better feel about the song, especially the lyrics which are more practical and really good, the connection with the title and the song is OK, but the title could have been chosen better. Yet again repetition was added but personally not much

8) Cigarettes & Alcohol
This is the best track on the album, personally. I think that I would be listening to this in future reference. I don't really know exactly why I like this song compared to the rest. As it's ruffly the same. Maybe it's because I've heard it before. Or could it just be that it's made me happier after all the horrible recent songs? I really don't know.

9) Digsy's Dinner
This was an OK song but I wouldn't be seen listening to it ever again. This is another song that damages your head into the ache it had before! It's really starting to hurt now. I hop[e the next song would be better

10) Slide Away
Straight away as soon as the lyrics shoot to your ears you hear "slide Away" it's clear to you than the rest of the song, as the rest of the lyrics are muffled with either the music or it's just the person singing. This song tries it's best to soothe your headache but it doesn't work. You get more and more annoyed with it as it is 6 minutes long. Repeating the same words constantly doesn't help, personally it makes it worst.

11) Married with children
This one straight away soothes your headache. Thanks very much for this last song. It's all about being married with children. It's also not my kind of music style but I would listen to it to calm me down and soothe any anger, or illnesses I have got.

I hope this helps. I did have over 1000 words on this when I wrote this but it took me hours and then when I finally clicked "publish Review" Ciao had signed me out, so... I had to do this all over again sorry that it hasn't got as much information as I could possibly put in, please rate this high!
