Advantages: Original
Disadvantages: A couple of average tracks

...the general Grime sound in this form, and at times sounds to be in tune with how things were going out in the US at the time. 1. "This Is My Demo" Sway gets things going in a big way with this one as he immediately shows what he is about with this cut. The MC doesn't abandon his surroundings, in fact its pretty much opposite to this as he gets dark beats, which seem to match what Grime did at the time, but he offered change with his approach at ...
...Stars** 2. "Products" This is one of the singles from the album, and here it gets him doing one to cmment on how people have been made, and how the people such as himself, and those who grew up aroudn him are nothing more than "Products of the city", and all of the potential dangers of inner-city life. It is surprsingly uplifting, and one of the big ones here. **Four Stars** 3. "Hype Boys" There's something wrong with you if you don't like this ... Read review

Advantages: Some very good ballads, two cds instead of one if you like that idea
Disadvantages: Disappointing up tempo songs, two cds instead of one if you don't like that idea

Being a big Beyonce fan I expected great things from this album. One of the first things you notice is that there are two cds with 5 songs on rather than 1 cd with 10 songs. I soon realised that one cd was for ballad songs and one was for the more up tempo hits. If you like this idea then this is a good album to get, if you prefer one cd with a mixture then don't get the album or put it on your computer and shuffle. As for the songs themselves, ...
...she has already released that. I find that rather disappointing. The single should feel like the trailer for the album and it's not. Her up tempo songs are disappointing compared to her previous hits like 'Crazy in Love'. The only songs I listen to on the album are 'If I were a Boy' and 'Broken Hearted Girl'. Compared to previous Beyonce albums where I have had several that I enjoy listening to, this is a big disappointment. However, that being ... Read review

Advantages: All tracks in album are super made
Disadvantages: no out of order tracks

...world. When he released the Shock Value in July 31, 2007, i was like oh my God. This was the best i ever heard of him. With his high level beats thats wall shaking and always dancing in the clubs style. The tracks in the album like the Oh timberland give it to me scream throw it on me apologize and 2 man show made me almost cry for joy. I loved these tracks like heaven. I will never stay without having them in my car, bedroom, sitting room just ...
...was 2x Platinum in the UK and made 600,000 sales after its first week of release. This album lives forever. I love Timberland and his unique style of instrumentals that follow with his wording in all his tracks and that makes him a difference in the RnB, HipHop world. Success Timbo ... Read review

Advantages: Has the best qualities of the music you will want
Disadvantages: No gimmicks at this time

...December 2nd 2008. The FREEDOM by Akon is just the perfect album to be bought and listen to your pleasure and dancing. It will boost up your thoughts especially when you listen to this in a car stereo with a partner. I love this Album. Nonethe less, there still some music there like Birth Mark and Over the edge which i really dont have much love for them because i really dont get the meaning in the songs though the beatings are good. ...

Advantages: Great melodic, jazzy chillout. More consistent than the 1st album.
Disadvantages: The electronic sounds are less subtle than the 1st album

...hiding the sticks and stones When I feel the unknown You feel like home, you feel like home" I personally like the playful tone, the soaring strings in the chorus and the way the tune melts away into rhodes noodling at the end. Another album highlight for me is the instrumental "Look Up" which does not feel out of place next to the vocal tracks. It does feature a female voice going "Dah-ah-ah-ah" towards the end but there is no singing and no ...
...acoustic guitar is engaging and when the sunny harmonica kicks in, it just gets better. So the big question is: how does "When It Falls" compare to the 1st album "Simple Things"? Well there is more consistency and more vocal tracks which is good. On the downside though, the incredible ambient soundscapes (for example in "Destiny" in the 1st album) are gone. The fusion of instruments, electronic sounds and background tinkering in "Simple Things" ... Read review
