Index Masters, The [Remastered] - Wall Of Voodoo

Pink Floyd The Wall - Studio Album - Excellent!

Advantages: Great songs, use of instruments and brilliant innovative style
Disadvantages: Some parts seem to drag on a bit

My introduction to this album started last Saturday when I thought I?d find out what all the fuss about this album was about being apparently brilliant. Consequently, I can honestly say that this is one of the best, and definitely most innovative albums I?ve heard in a long time. From the very beginning with the slow introduction of flutes and strings comes an explosion of drums and guitars that almost blows you away. This ensures you know whom your listening to being the legend that is Pink Floyd. Following on as the tracks flow nicely into each other, the music builds up with air sirens whirling imitating the war and then it all turns much quieter with a more ballad style of music and meaningful lyrics. Soon enough, however, the most famous song on the album kicks in, that being ?Another Brick On The Wall part 1? which is very ...

Review of Wall, The (Remastered) - Pink Floyd

The Wall, a classic

Advantages: Classic Pink Floyd
Disadvantages: Some won't like it! You've been warned

I shouldn't have to write this opinion as you should all know that the Wall is one of the most original and controvertial albums ever released and as a consequence Pink Floyd's most famous...

A great selection of musical genre with every track being relevant to the story. The opening title of the film sums up the whole feels of the story, The Boy That Santa Claus Forgot. When the film was made in 1982, Bob Geldof was casted in as the lead role. The film and music over the years has created a lot of controversy. The BBC refusing to play Another Brick In ...

Happy Birthday Michael Jackson! - Off the Wall

Advantages: Greatest Debut Ever, Every Song is Fantastic, His Afro!
Disadvantages: How can there be any, it's Michael Jackson!

So far I have reviewed every other Michael Jackson album out there including, Thriller, Bad and Dangerous. Well today (29th August 2006) is a very special day, it is Michael Jackson's 48th Birthday! For this reason I would like to take the liberty to write my final review on one of the greatest albums of all time - Michael Jackson's first solo album away from Motown, "Off the Wall". A little history about the production of "Off the Wall": Released in August 1979 "Off The Wall" was Michaels first solo album as an adult artist. He wanted this album to be the best it could be. He needed someone with great experience and had met Quincey Jones on the set on the movie "The Wiz" and Quincey produced the album. Michael wanted the sound of the album to be different from that of the Jacksons who had just had there biggest album success ...
