Frog Tape, The - Quintron

Advantages: Kids Love It
Disadvantages: I Hate It

...I Bought this album for my Three year old, he loves it but it drives me crazy. When the Crazy Frog Ringtone came out it was okay, i even got it on my phone, but then everyone and everywhere just went Crazy Frog Mad. The Crazy frog just annoys me now. My three year old loves to dance to it along with his older brother and sister. My Three year old also knows the words to all the songs, but i know the words to some of the songs as well because they are remakes of old ones. This CD would be very good at a kids party, but that's about it. It's been on in my houseso much now that i am coming close to throwing it out the window. It will be sweety the chick bringing out a CD next.... Read review

Advantages: weird and wonderful music
Disadvantages: don't know where to find it

...I just recieved an amazing cd from a band called The Frogs. Apparently unsung heroes in the states for underground music, to hear them is to believe them. The Frogs are two brothers from Milwaukee who sing about evrything from priests to car crashes with some of the most insane lyrics I've ever heard...all this with these swwet cool guitar riffs over the top of it all , sounding alot like Bolan, and early Bowie, Adam and the Ants...it's hard to tell what they are going to do one track to the next, but I promise you you'll be singing along with tears of laughter streaming down your face. Some of their biggest fans are people within the industry, like Beck and Smashing Pumpkins and Eddie Veder. I received ny cd thruogh a friend but I think you can look it up on the internet..Have Fun, this is an incredible find!!... Read review

Advantages: You won't get tired of hearing it.
Disadvantages: will make you weepy!

..."An album with only 7 tracks?" I hear you scream. When you've heard it you'll be screaming "Aw, I was enjoying that, I wish there was more.." This is a lovely mix of six new and one previously released track (timewatching- though here it is sung live) which is beautifully put together and wonderfully sung by Neil Hannon and backed by a 30 piece orchestra. The first track, "in Pursuit of happiness" was so good it was pinched by Tomorrows world as their theme tune. Not the first time one of their tracks has been pinched (eh Father Ted fans??!!) and is very dramatic musically whilst the lyrics are very honest and truthful about being in love. "Everybody knows" is a very tear-jerking soft tune that is very romantic. (I should know, it made my fiancee cry when I taped it for her when we were first going out!!) about being besotted...
