Enter The Baby Mongoose - Baby Mongoose

Advantages: Good Quality Pop Album
Disadvantages: Gets a bit repatitive

...This is the debut album from the delightful Miss Spears and as pop music albums go it is pretty good! It contains her first two UK number 1's.in a collection of twelve songs, which range from very slick to the down right cheesy variety. So which one's are which? No matter what you think of Britney Spear's, you cannot deny the fact that the title track "Baby One More Time" is one of the greatest pop songs of all time.

Advantages: Classic
Disadvantages:

...This is one of Alices greatest albums. It shows the original Alice Cooper group at their best. At this time in 1973 the Alice Cooper group was riding on the crest of a wave having a no 1 single both sides of the Atlantic with Schools Out the Alice Cooper group was the hottest property in the music busines in 1972-1973.

Hello Hooray ("Hello Hooray Let The Show Begin, Im Am Ready," classic guitar work and vocals) 2. Raped & Freezing (Fun song) 3. Elected (Hugely successful and powerful rock track, also later covered by Bruce Dickinson of Iron maiden for Comic Relief) 4. Billion Dollar Babies (One of the best drum patterns ever made this a hugely successful single) 5. Unfinished Sweet (Strange to listen too... Read review
