Gold - Temptations (The)

Advantages: Great voice, good songs
Disadvantages: Same old

...This album sees the band sticking to the same formula, allbeit winning formula as the last album the silent force.The songs conjure up a gothic fairy tale landscape full of hope, despair and a longing for better times. Sharron den adel's voice is still beautifully gentle amid the the thundering guitars.One of the problem's I have with this album is that the song construction is pretty much similar for every song. We have a gentle intro in which sharron's voice is angelic and fragile which gives way to the heavy guitars and drums.This is done very well, but in every song! After 11 songs it does sound a bit samey.The guitars don't seem to have much colour to them either, always the same rhythmn and heavy feel to them.Having said that they do write good songs with good choruses.My main problem with this album is a lack of a musical step...

Advantages: Their greatest hits
Disadvantages: Nothing

With a total of 40 tracks, including all of the biggest hits of the first ten epochal years of the Stones' recording career, Rolled Gold+ is an essential collection that explains just how the group earned the right to be called "The World's Greatest Rock 'n' Roll Band."

Advantages: Brilliant, Fantastic Band,
Disadvantages: Nothing At All.

...all, well most of us, have heard of this group, with such hits as Gold, Through The Barricades, and True but to name a few, this group has made headlines all around the world. if you add up how many weeks there singles spent in the charts, you would be coming close to 8 years, that is how much they were, and still are respected, even though, alas, they are not together :(. I think we probably all remember the Hit song Gold, I mean it is the one that was played the most i think, and also the one that was so catchy. I mean, the lyrics was so good, we all remember them, basically telling us we are what we are wanting to be, and nothing anyone else does will make us lower or different. This song was so good, and still is. you still hear it in all the 80's disocs, and sometimes the latest night clubs in remixed edition, because people... Read review
