Grand Design, The - Edenbridge

Advantages: Great pure rock
Disadvantages: None really

...Slash returned in 2000 with the latest incarnation of the band known as Slash's Snakepit and the album "Ain't Life Grand". Following from the great "It's Five O'Clock Somewhere" - A side project that Slash undertook whilst unsure of his Guns N' Roses career - "Ain't Life Grand" develops the late 80's rock sound with a modern twist. Slash has completely changed the linup of the Snakepit band. Rather than create a band that solely showcases Slash's incredible talent for playing the guitar the band is an assembly of good musicians - Each member as much a part of the group as Slash. ---------------- The band: ---------------- -------- Slash - Guitar -------- An incredibly talented guitarist, probably one of the most influential rock-musicians of the past decade -------- Rod Jackson - Vocals -------- Rods vocals...

Advantages: ground breaking concept album
Disadvantages: some of the tracks are a bit samey but they all need to be on album!

Ok it sounds really corny, but it is all very well told and Mike has a gift of making it seem like he is just talking to you on the phone or in the pub.

Basically he gets to the DVD shop, just in time before it closes so he won't get a fine...oh no! The DVD is not in the case arrghhh! Goes to the cash point - insufficient funds doh!

Advantages: A great selection of songs
Disadvantages: Some missing songs

...Since Grand Theft Auto 3 the songs on the Grand Theft Auto songs have nearly been as big of a hit as the games. When San Andreas was released I loved the music and I had to buy this. It contains a lot of the songs from the game, however not all of them (the ones that are not included are at the bottom). There are 8 different disks of music, which is quite annoying because you have to keep changing disk, but this is made up buy the variety of songs (even if your not a GTA fan you might be interested in these disks). Each disk represents a different radio station, so all the songs on one disk are from one radio station. Also if you miss the music from San Andreas whilst playing the PSP version you can now add this music, using the CD's, to the PSP GTA using software released on the Rockstar Website. In addition to the music you... Read review
