Five Minutes To Live - Barnshakers

Advantages: It stars Johnny Cash as a young man, interesting plot
Disadvantages: Low-budget look, some very brutal scenes that can be disturbing

...about Johnny's dodgy history. By illustration, we?re shown a flashback scene depicting Johnny emptying what appears to be the entire contents of a machine gun into someone while looking intensely cold and evil, and then we jump to the opening title and credits over which Johnny Cash's voice sings catchy theme song 'Five Minutes to Live'. We next see Johnny lazing around playing his guitar in a cheap motel room while a woman nearby gets dressed, and are told by the narrator that he spent his time dossing about while his girlfriend went out to work to support him. Charming. He gets a phone call from a friend offering him a part in a good 'job' working for Fred Dorella whom, it transpires, wants to rob a bank. But not just an ordinary stick-up: Dorella?s plan is for Johnny to hold Ken Wilson the bank manager's wife hostage in their home... Read review

Advantages: BEAUTIFUL BOOK, WITH LASTING APPEAL.
Disadvantages: THERE IS NO GUARANTEE YOU WILL GET YOUR FIVE MINUTES PEACE TOO!!

Advantages: Great CD, lots of great songs on it
Disadvantages: not exactly what linkin park fans are used to

...Minutes 2 Midnight was released on the 14th May 2007. Minutes to Midnight is named after the doomsday clock that measures how close society is to wiping itself out through war and other selfish acts. This album was different than the others because the music became more mellowed out, still alternative rock but just in a different way. Hybrid Theory and Meteora the two most popular previous albums were full of screaming lyrics and rapping however this album has Chester (the lead singer) is singing more and there is slower music in most of the album. So heres the song list: 1. Wake This is just a short instrumental at the start of the album as kind of an introduction to the CD. It is slow paced and nice to listen to. It sounds like at the start a needle being put onto a record track and then there is piano playing slowing, getting... Read review
