Extremes - Cal Tjader

Advantages: No fillers, unique new sound, it's by Britney!
Disadvantages: Ying Yang twins are bit odd and some of the lyrics are a bit much

...I have to say, I am extremely surprised that it has taken me so long to review this in particular album, it being by my favourite ever artist. Yes, this particular CD, "In The Zone" is by the one, the only, Miss Britney Spears. Or Mrs Britney Federline? What is one to cal her these days? Anyway, regardless of name and title and despite the recent unjust accusations that Britney has "let herself go" (not at all, she is a full-time mother not a clothes horse!) Britney will always be a star in my eyes. She is undoubtedly the number one pop princess with star looks, great talent (as a singer, songwriter and dancer) and a refreshingly down-to-earth attitude and this fabulous album demonstrates exactly why she deserves her crown. In Britney's third and most recent (and hopefully not last!) album she decided to take a different route... Read review

Advantages: Some great classic blink songs. Little/No fillers.
Disadvantages: Abismal recording.

...The first full length album eminating from those So-Cal kids blink-182. For lots of fans it has been decsribed as blink's best before they 'sold out'. Throughout all of blink's career they have started off their albums with good songs. And this is no different. Carousel is a great started with an amazing bass intro. Albeit a bit longer than your average, but once it gets down to the nitty gritty it's one of the best on the album. Lyrically, its no genius, but any teenager can relate to the subject and although the recording is far from perfect (Tom's voice is quite bad =P) it's a song one can't help but like. The next best song in my opinion is M&Ms - This was the only song released as a single off Cheshire Cat. It opens with a guitar solo (unusual for Tom) before Mark kicks in the verse. Alot of the songs on this record you can easily... Read review

Advantages: Great voices, brothers are very easy on the eye!
Disadvantages: No original tracks

...This is the debut album from Andy and Cal also know as Journey South. Andy and Carl are brother who shot to fame on the X-Factor. They had been singing together for years and had spent all of their time touring the country playing small gigs and singing in pubs and clubs. All of their hard work paid off when they auditioned for the X-Factor and easily made it through to the live finals. Unfortunately the brothers did not win the show, much to my disapointment, but they did very well which lead to this album. There are 11 tracks on the CD which are:- The first time ever I saw your face Let it be Desperado The circle Nobody Knows I still haven't found what I'm looking for All of you Time after time It must have been love All that I am English Rose All 11 of the tracks are cover versions but they do sing them very well and pay justice...
