Falange Canibal - Lenine

Advantages: Great music
Disadvantages: Does not have some of the background music from the film.

...If you enjoyed the film this album is well worth buying. It is made up of all the specially composed pieces for Good Bye Lenin and on some versions there are also tracks with dialogue from the film over the top of the music. The only thing that disappointed me was that some of the music that was used in the film but not composed such as the music from the club scene is not on this album. Some people may also find some tracks quite similar, I didn't though. All the music is pretty much easy listening and calming with a few slightly more energetic tracks. Overall this is a great album and a must for people who enjoyed the music of Good Bye Lenin.... Read review

Advantages: It's great! It's mad! It even has a couple of guitars on it...
Disadvantages: Should have featured Humph and the band playing Mornington Crescent!

...casts allusions to canibalism as my client asks us to "Put him in the pot." It even has all the interesting chord sequences which Radiohead patented."

Mr. Yorke, it would appear that you are to be acquitted of the charge of making yet another deranged techno album, and allowed to go free, safe in the knowledge that you have created yet another work of absolute genius which will be remembered well by the world. Despite being from the same sessions as Kid A the court believes this to be the better album, but equally we see why the songs herein... Read review

...arpeggios complement incredible imagery on the part of Richey. This is a great song played both on electric and acoustic guitars. 5. Archives Of Pain – 5:29 – ‘give them the respect they deserve’ ** A bit of an obscure track here. Some good lyrics but it certainly isn’t a standout track musically. This track seems to be another Patrick Bateman for the Manics in that there are some good lyrics but some weaker music fitted around them. The effects on the voice give the song extra depth which is good. 6. Revol – 3:04 – ‘Lebensraum – Kulturkampf – Raus Raus – Fila Fila’ *** Richey’s notes on this track are quite good here so I’ll quote him fully – All adolescent leaders of men FAILED. All love FAILS. If men of the calibre of Lenin and Trotsky... Read review
