Put this record on! ...the fire...

Advantages: Has a pretty front cover...
Disadvantages: Delivery isn't up to the standard it should be...

AHHHHHHHHHHHHH! This is one of the most frustrating albums I have ever had to endure... It lives off the reputation of a couple of songs, and frankly, is a dissapointment, and this is coming from someone who didn't have high expectations to start with! It is a weird mixture of chilled out music, mixed with a couple of 'up-beat' tracks, mixed with fillers (Tracks just put there to make the album long enough to call and album). She regularly overstretches ...
...she just does not sing well enough to sing the songs she writes, a couple of her songs have excellent lyrics, but she just can't deliver them to make their full potential. Maybe she should switch to just writing songs and letting others deliver them properly. You may think I am being harsh, well maybe I am a little... There are a few good tracks on this album, ones I would recommend to download are Put Your Records On, Till it Happens to You and ...

Review of Corinne Bailey Rae - Corinne Bailey Rae

19 is "Right As Rain"

Advantages: Good Music, Good Lyrics
Disadvantages: The style may get a little repetitive, but that isn't too bad.

...I've come to see that 19 is one of the best albums that I own. Adele's vocal range is amazing and utterly beautiful. Every song has meaning. The lyrics are amazing. Some people may say that Adele is the new Amy Winehouse, but from my point of view, she's better. Her style is unmatched. The smoothness of her voice, her lyrics, and her music is amazing. The length of the album is average. 12 songs is not too many, nor too few. Even though Jazz isn't ...

Review of 19 - Adele

Quality throughout from the girl with the "Umbrella"

Advantages: Strong album tracks to back the numerous singles. Showcases Rihanna's vocal range.
Disadvantages: More ballads might win over more fans.

...and "Disturbia" are just as good a reason for making a purchase along with the aforementioned "Take A Bow". Being a fan of Maroon 5 also means that "If I Never See Your Face Again" is a personal favourite track. Strong throughout, I think Rihanna may struggle to emulate what she has acheived with this album when it comes time to release album number 4. ...

Review of Good Girl Gone Bad - Rihanna

What an amazing voice........

Advantages: so entertaining
Disadvantages: none

...search about her on internet. Mind Body And Soul is one of great vocal album, with modern blues and soul melody that brought by really young talented singer. This is a strong album and everyone have to listen to this. I do realy sure that Joss Stone would be one of the great woman singer ever with unique vocal in the future. She is the next Aretha Franklin and Whitney Houston. I love Joss Stone. ...

Review of Mind Body And Soul - Joss Stone

Fragments of...Awesome music

Advantages: Great dance music, peacy and happy, moral
Disadvantages: Abit too electronic and synthesised. Expensive to buy.

Fragments of Freedom by Morcheba is a brilliant album which you can listen to over and over again. The words all have morals such as if you're to shallow then you'll get hurt ( from the song "Shallow End" ). If you feel like relaxing after a stressful day or if you want calming dance music...this is the album for you. The band manage to keep up the high standard of their other albums and the album in general is almost flawless. Of course there is ...
