Advantages: Great mix of artists and well known tunes
Disadvantages: Maybe needed more female artists, popular r'n'b stars

2 Disc Set, with 40 tracks so you can't really go wrong here. It's kind of a mix of the old and the new love songs, but still some timeless tracks from artists like Mary Mary, Aliyah, 2Pac, Anita baker, Toni Braxton and others. The kinds of songs everyone knows. Some lovers tunes and some more faster paced. With Lemar, Wayne Wonder, Akon, Ashanti, Mya, India Arie, as well known young stars of now. But it would have been nice to have seen some younger ...
...at the moment and also maybe a bigger selection of female vocalists like Khelis, Brandy, Ne-Yo, Omarion and others. Still the tracks are a good mix with tunes like My Boo, Usher and Alicia Keys, Satisfaction, Eve, Cry me a River, Justin Timberlake, Sweet Love, Anita Baker, On and On Eryka Badu and lots more. ...

Advantages: Uplifting; thoughful; style-spanning and funky; lyrics printed in full
Disadvantages: The price of the album varies so shop around!

...'Parade' (the previous album to Sign O' The Times) but wasn't struck by a lot of the album tracks. However, every Prince album is different from the last so you have to take each one as it comes. I stumbled across Sign O' The Times at a bootsale marked up for £8 and it was still shrinkwrapped. This was an absolute bargain as I've seen it priced up for as much as £19.99 in stores. The album is naturally very long spanning two discs so here are reviews ...
...O' The Times - a social commentary about the AIDS epidemic, drugs and various problems of the 1980s. Mid-tempo with a really catchy bassline and very minimalistic arrangements. The lyrics are deep and ultimately they work today as well. One of the most under-rated hits of all time and surprisingly catchy despite being melancholy.

Advantages: Good price, inspiring & funky!!
Disadvantages: A wee bit ancient...

This is a compilation of some of the most successful artists who were topping the charts in 2003, although I personally find that the first CD has the better tracks - with the exception of Girls Aloud's 'Sound of the Undergound', 'Tell it To My Heart' by Lorenna, Kelly, 'U Can't Touch This' by Bean and Cyrus/MC Hammer, and Atomic Kitten's The Tide is High. The tracks are uplifting and I usually put this onto my CD alarm clock in the morning because ...
...bed! It is definitely a dance album, but full of great feel-good tunes such as 'I see you baby' and 'make luv' which make it suitable for listening to anywhere... In the car, in bed, at work/school + especially when you need some chocolate and music therapy! I have put most of the tracks onto my MP3 player so that I can listen to them when I'm bored or tired. Its a great bargain and a good buy - the main issue is that is so old! Where's Kaiser ... Read review
