I Will Not Be Sad In This World - Djivan Gasparyan

Advantages: Has an up-beat and rocky feel.The album has a lot of energy with Rocky theme tune like intros.
Disadvantages: This album put me off the band.Dissapointing,noisy and messily composed.

...This album really put me off the band and in my opinion their earlier album News and Tributes was much better. I found it dissapointing and really over the top on unbalanced energy. Does it rock? Yeah I guess it does with some real punchy powerful songs that are a bit Maximo Park in feel. But the overal feel of this album is dissapointing as they seem to have tried to squish as much as possible into each song.

... THE WOMAN IN BLACK SUSAN HILL "I looked directly at her and she at me. There was no mistake. My eyes were not deceiving me. It was she, the woman in black." After writing a review yesterday for Susan Hill's 'The Mist in the Mirror', I realised that for some reason I have never written a review on her better known, and in my opinion, far superior book 'The Woman in Black'. As the male contingency Chez Oldchem insisted on watching 'Casino Royale' (I refuse to watch any James Bond without Sean Connery in!!) I dug out my little copy of this wonderful book - at only 160 pages, I knew that I would read it while they watch Daniel Craig emerge in skimpy shorts from the sea, and I would be able to refresh my memories of a book I have read on many occasions. (Oh and yes I did rewind my Sky Plus this morning to... Read review
