Advantages: His sound will last forever, this cd is a classic Disadvantages: Nothing about Fats is a disadvantage
...I cannot find a fault with this artist or cd as how can a man as successful as FatsDomino have any dis-advantages.
This man has done so much for music, coloured musicians what a talented artist, he rates right up there with Elvis, Big Bopper, Richie Valens, Jerry Lee Lewis, Buddy Holly, some of his songs on this cd are better than the artists i have listed above.
This man made more than 20 rthymn and blues records that each sold more than a million copies, his total records sales was just over one hundred million.
His real name was Antoine FatsDomino and born in New Orleans on 26th Feb 1928.
His first ever record was made in 1949 "The Fat Man" and became a gold record in 1953.

Advantages: very cheap, good quality tracks Disadvantages: none
...The first thing I should say is that this is not a dig at fat people. This record is released by Fat Wreck Chords, an independant record label from America set up by the Bass player from NOFX, Fat Mike (hence the name). This is the first in their line of cheap music samplers and only costs $3.98 (available for £5 in the UK). If you like this sort of music it is extremly good value for money.
The album features fourteen songs from the vaults of Fat wreck Chords. The songs are all of the highest quality. The album features the following songs from the following bands:
~~ Band - Song ~~
1) Propagandi - Anti Manifesto
2) Lagwagon - Know It All
3) Strung Out - In Harm's Way
4) Guns 'N' Wankers - Skin Deep
5) No Use For A Name - Feeding The Fire
6) Bracket - 2 Rak 005
7) Tilt - Weave And Unravel
8) Face To Face - You...

Advantages: 'Narayan' and perhaps also 'Firestarter' Disadvantages: Generally unimpressive, unimaginative and dull.
...With the forthcoming release of Prodigy's fourth album, it might be worthwhile to cast our minds back to their most successful album to date: The 1997 best-seller "The Fat Of The Land."
The success of this CD lies with the two singles which preceded its release - "Firestarter" and "Breathe." Both similarly-crafted fusions of hard dance beats with punk/rock anrachic lyrics and general Keith Flint-fueled mayhem ripped up the singles chart on release. Prodigy took measured steps to keep themselves in the limelight by enticing the tabloids to whip up a storm over the video of the third single - the repetitive and unimpressive "Smack My Bitch Up."
All of this did much to help "The Fat Of The Land" fly off the shelves, but for many it would prove to be an unfulfilling experience. The subtelty and flair of "Music For The Jilted...
