Dream (The Best Of) - Everly Brothers (The)

Advantages: Easy listening and unique
Disadvantages: Oh, say does that star-spangled banner yet wave

...him the track. The-Dream stated, "Chris said the record won't be number one unless he's on it." When asked about working with Chris Brown in the future, Dream said, "At the end of the day, I'm big on principle and loyalty. Put that to bed." So, it appears that at the early stage of his all-star career Chris has locked out one of the most exciting producers. Personally, I think I would have liked 'Bed' even more if it was sung by Chris Brown. Everyone knows 'Bed' is the only track J Holiday will ever do that anyone likes. TRACKS She never gone for long, she be right back, be right back *01, Shawty is Da Shit ft. Fabolous (4.23), 4* *02, I Luv Your Girl (4.28), 5* Rather than the released track, 'Shawty is a 10', Dream opted for opening the album with an explicit version of the song featuring one of my favourite...

Advantages: A compilation of great songs from a great musician
Disadvantages: Disadvantages?!

.... Although not as universally known as some other tracks on the album arguably, it's still a cracking little number! The same can be said of "The Wind Cries Mary" - a far more laid back offering this time around - lovely and melodic. Chilled out and almost hypnotic.

Advantages: It's Lamb!
Disadvantages: None

...Although die-hard fans of Lamb will already have every album Lamb have previously made it seems mad not to buy the last album they made before they split up through differences. New fans must have this album in their collection as it contains all the classics that have helped to mould and shape Lamb into becoming one of the biggest names in Trip hop and drum and bass. The album contains tracks like 'One' one of the most disturbing and dark love songs ever made. And Gabrielle, where Lou Rhodes vocal talents really come out to play! All of Lamb's songs are a mixture of wonderous beauty clashed with something so dark it hasn't even got a word to describe it. This album has recently become the soundtrack to my life and has even inspired me to start making my own Trip Hop based music. A must have!... Read review
