Hit The Bit - Ben Mono

Advantages: this album is like no other
Disadvantages: none

...- A strange opening, but soon gets going. This song really does test ben`s voice as well as his playing. Another lush piano solo acoompianed by their informal approach ,akes this song the hit. 7)Sports+wine - This is ben folds five at their best. A short but special song which will surely get you to your feet. An amazing piano solo is in contrast to the simple basis of the song. It goes out in style with a virtuoso piano ending. 8)Uncle Walter - Straight into another great nimber. They show how no piano makes the return of the piano that little bit more appreciated. Great technical abililty is shown and a song full of energy. It`s quite difficult to belive that`s there`s only 3 of them. 9)Best imitation of myself - Their most simple song but one with great power. Distorted bass shows the power they have. Top-notch vocals as usual. 10... Read review

Advantages: Awseome arrangements and beautiful lyrics
Disadvantages: Ther's only three of em and the're Ben folds FIVE

...Ben Folds Five . Genius' at work . I recntley bought two of their albums (Whatever and ever amen , Reinhold Messner ) on the recommendation of a friend . I couldn't be more glad .

Whatever and Ever Amen features some of the best songs i have heard this year songs like brick (A touching ballard about abortion ) and song for the dumped display the talents of this awesome three piece . The unauthorised biography of Reinhold Messner is much of the same , however this albm trails a bit towards the end . The songs become too slow and not overly imaginative . However both albums are well worth listening to if you can get your hands on them for a reasonable price .... Read review

Advantages: Lots of well known and likeable tracks
Disadvantages: Some tracks will make you cringe

...the main chorus. A well-known track opens the album very nicely. 02: Roxette - It Must Have Been Love This was a track from the movie "Pretty Woman". Swedish duo Roxette have had many hits in their own right so their contribution to the movie could only have been an advantage. The track itself starts off quite hauntingly with a hint of sadness, but soon escalates to a strong beat, with Marie Fredriksson taking the lead vocals, as she does with most of Roxette's material. 03: Wet Wet Wet - Love Is All Around = Taken from the movie "Four Weddings And A Funeral", this track drives me absolutely mad. When the movie was released in the cinemas, Love Is All Around was played to death on the radio stations, and as such, we had a bit of overkill. However, probably unbeknown to... Read review
