Lets Go! Return this CD

Advantages: Err, a few ok songs, they are great musicians.
Disadvantages: The majority of the songwriting is terrible, 90% of songs sound the same

...out come the Wolves and Let's Go and I enjoyed them both to varying degrees. That year, the band's 5 album and second self titled record was released, which at the time I also enjoyed. Not too long afterwards, I eagerly tracked down the band's second record, and their first with guitarist Lars Fredericksen. This one I never really enjoyed. In fact, in some ways, it could be seen as one of the things that put me on my way off this type of music. In ...
...at the back cover of Let's Go now, I wonder what I was thinking. Along with the first song being called Nihilism, a word that its hard to find a review of a 70s punk album without, but also the cringe inducing photo of the band. Along with the over the top mohawks and heavy metal T-Shirts, Tim is giving the finger while they all strike hardman poses next to a car. Ooh, the rebels. Despite my disliking now for ...and Out come the Wolves, I do recognise, ...

Review of Let's Go - Rancid

hello destiny - goodbye goldfinger

Advantages: a few good songs
Disadvantages: nowhere near as good as their old stuff

Iv always been a fan of goldfinger and it had been a while since the release of a new album prior to this one being released. I had been looking forward to a new album as i really liked their new-ish material and thought that the band were getting better and better. When this one came out I downloaded it straight away, I had already listened to a few songs they released on myspace before the release and enjoyed these so I was looking forward to ...
...are only a few good songs on their and some that i just cant stand to listen to. A few of the good songs are really good, though it feels a little bit rushed and a bit like all the songs are of different kind of genres. I put this down to the return of the guitarist who previously left the band as he liked metal music and not punk. He has seemed to have some influence in some of the songs and I feel has let the band down. If you did like this ...

Review of Hello Destiny - Goldfinger

Truely amazing album

Advantages: Toms voice, the talent, a truely amazing album
Disadvantages: None

...be: we will fall together, somewhere in the between, would you be impressed and forty days. We will fall together has a pirate kind of feel to it, i love it! Even though those are my favourite songs, the whole album in general is a work of art and brings such happiness to me :). The lyrics are incredible, they really do stand out. Lastly, the trumpets/saxophones on this album really do show how talented these guys are and the way the music is put ...

Review of Somewhere In The Between - Streetlight Manifesto

King Prawn - Got The Thirst

Advantages: 14 amazing tracks, another fine release from King Prawn
Disadvantages: May not be to everyones taste.

...King Prawn and has now got itself a label and that label is Golf Records. It is a 14 track album of the usual mix of ska, punk, hip hop and metal. You never know what to expect with a King Prawn album as they draw so many influences and this is reflected in their songs as every one is different with many different genres intertwined to create that sound that only King Prawn can. Each and every one of these songs is superb in its own right but for ...
...out to. You have got to admire this band for what they do even if you are not in to it (god forbid) as they are pure genius to pull off what they do and the way they remain rather underground is quite unbelievable as they deserve mass respect. Music like this does not come by sitting on your arse all day doing nothing - music like this comes from years of practice and improvements and this is exactly what the band has done. They have been around ...

Review of Got The Thirst - King Prawn

Need Cheering Up?

Advantages: Some extremely strong tracks present here, an excellent horn section.
Disadvantages: Less Ska based than their older albums.

Reel Big Fish have never been a favourite band of mine, however nonetheless I have always had an appreciation for their music and as such when this album was released back in 2002 I soon bought it and had it in my possession. The thing I have always loved about this band is that no matter what they happen to be singing about, they always sound ridiculously happy and therefore listening to their music is always greatly rewarding, particularly when ...
...reason and really need to 'Cheer Up'. The band are best known for their single 'Sell Out' which was featured in the great 1998 film 'BASEketball', a film which starred South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone. 'Cheer Up' is the bands fourth studio album and begins with 'Good Thing', a track which kicks off the proceedings in the way in which we would expect; a fun song which is highly upbeat and with an excellent horn section giving the track ...
