I Bless The Day I Found You - Ninjah

Advantages: it's u2, its easy to listen to, it has meaning
Disadvantages: i cant figure out the meaning to two of the songs!!

...a pretty good reception, and when I say pretty good I mean it got to number one in 22 different countries and one of the songs off the album, Beautiful Day, got 3 Grammy awards. It spawned the great Elevation Tour which nearly had to cancel due to September 11th but went on anyway. The tour raised just over $110 million, which is pretty impressive! The second highest total of tour revenue after The Rolling Stones. *** Who, What, Why, Where and How *** Who made the album I hear you say? It was produced by U2's close friends Brian Eno (also worked with greats like David Bowie: Low and Depeche Mode: I feel you) and Daniel Lanois (Bob Dylan: Time out of mind and Peter Gabriel: Us). It was produced in studios all around Dublin and some in the south of france making the albums song influences often varied. *** The Tracks *** There are 11... Read review

Disadvantages: It's a bit long and messy

...Roses or Morcheeba in some parts. 8. Sometimes I Don’t Get You (3.16) This song appealed to me, and I still can’t work out whether I actually like it or not. Its starts off straight away with the words of the song (plus a little echo in the vocals) and doesn’t really seem to go anywhere throughout the song, although there is a chorus which is slightly different. It is nice to listen to but as it stays quite the same throughout the song; it can be a little boring after a while, meaning that it gets skipped! 9. Daphnia (8.51) The opening to this song sounds quite unusual, another of Yo La Tengo’s experimentation which can be found throughout. It starts with crackly guitar and piano, sounding like there is a fire burning in the room. It is a simple instrumental, which doesn’t really stray far from the way it starts, with the piano...
