First Class Love - AJ

Advantages: Great Voice, Good Selection of Tracks
Disadvantages: A Few Poor Tracks

...Faith Evans isn't really a household name in the music industry, especially over in the UK as she's had very little coverage so I'm not surprised if you've never heard of her. In the US however things are different, she's recognised as an up and coming star in the R n B genre of music having already had a career that spans over 10 years. She first hit the charts in 1995 with her first album, appropriately titled "Faith" which contained the hit single "Soon as I get Home." In 1997 she again shot into the American charts with a track devoted to her husband B.I.G, on which she collaborated with P Diddy and 112. She's not had an easy time, with a huge drugs scandal going on which the press (as usual) jumped onto, but finally things seem to be looking up for her. The First Lady is actually Faith's fourth album release (released in May 2005... Read review

Advantages: Hit after hit!
Disadvantages: None

...Wow! A ground-breaking album for both Pulp and the so-called “Brit-pop” scene that they got lumped together with at the time. Pulp had been around for many years and released several albums before this one, but were virtual unknowns until “Different Class” and its singles hit the racks and the eardrums. Released in 1995, and available with different covers in limited edition (mine features the wedding photograph) it’s a definite must-have for collectors of classic albums of the 90s, if not all time.

Advantages: Fantastic
Disadvantages: Struggles to live up to His N Hers

...Whilst everyone was debating whether it was Blur or Oasis who where the top dogs of Britpop, Pulp came along with this fantastic album and scooped a heap of best album awards from right under their noses. This album continues from where His n' Hers left off, which is a great starting point, but it's a difficult album to improve upon. There are 12 quality songs here, though they are not always as immediately catchy as the like of Disco 2000 and Common people. Songs such as F.E.E.L.I.N.G. C.A.L.L.E.D. L.O.V.E AND Live Bed Show grow on you with every hearing. Also I've never got bored of this album - except maybe the slightly inferior single version of Disco 2000 that has been played way too much (album version still rules though). Best song on the album? Hard to say, they're all good, I'd go for Mis-shapes "Mis-shapes, mistakes, misfits... Read review
