I'm Gonna Make You Mine - Lou Christie

Advantages: Great lyrics, good music
Disadvantages: Some may find lyrics too pessimistic

...'t depend on the goodly hearted The goodly hearted made lampshades and soap" "Sick Of You" has some of the best jokes on the album, this time accompanied by an almost hickory guitar, but driven by a quirky bass and drum line too: "the ozone layer's got no ozone anymore and you're gonna leave me for the guy next door I'm sick of you" Or "I know one thing that really is true this is a zoo and the keeper ain't you And I'm sick of it, I'm sick of you" Finally "admirers" of George Bush might enjoy the following line, although it should be noted his dad was on the throne when this was released: "They say the President's dead but no one can find his head It's been missing now for weeks But no one noticed it he had seemed so fit" Marvellous mix of the personal and the political to show how grumpy an old man can really be...

Advantages: great songs, catchy
Disadvantages: quite pop sounding

...for this song is very unusual it has a lot of celebrity appearances and it seems to continue on from the 'Dance Dance' video. It plays on a lot of jokes the band have, it's all about how the media over hyping things and it is quite funny. Looking at the song lyrics like "fitting you with weapons in the form of words" and "don't really care which side wins as long as the room keeps singing that's just the business I'm in" all indicate this song is a note to the press saying that they don't care what stories they write about them because as long as the fans are still there to see the band play is all that matters. 4.I'M LIKE A LAWYER: This is one of the first songs off this album I grew to really like the reason being is that the vocals are sang so well that it really stood out to me. It is a sort of ballad but that doesn't make it boring... Read review

Advantages: it's an amazing album
Disadvantages: none

...With out you I’m nothing is a deeply moving and thought provoking album. Pure Morning is the song that every one know …a friend with weed… and all that. Brick shit house, well my mates little bro is obsessed with that song, he thinks it is absolutely amazing and I can’t argue with that. Every me Ever you is definitely the sing along track. Scared of girls is just sublime in my humble opinion, Burger Queen is the most moving track on the album and always makes me want to cry – but maybe that’s just me. The hidden track (evil dildo) is very odd but also very cool. Admittedly I may be a bit bias but for me there is nothing that Brain Molko can do wrong. His voice and clothes may not be to every ones taste (“a cock in a frock etc”) but I think he is wonderful and that every one should worship him for the genius that he is.... Read review
