GIRLS ALOUD- LOVE M<ACHINE Ladies you're damn right You can't read a man's mind We're living in two tribes And heading for war Nobody's perfect We all gotta work it But fellas, we're worth it So don't break the law Your call's late, big mistake You've gotta hang about in limbo for as long as I take Next time, read my mind and I'll be good to you We're gift-wrapped kitty cats We're only turning into tigers when we gotta fight back ...

Advantages: Some completely unexpected cover versions
Disadvantages: A slow middle section on disc 2

...This album has to be my purchase of the year for 2006. Very fun, impossible to get bored of, someething for everyone who listens to it. You will laugh and smile at some of the cover versions recorded in the Live Lounge and also fall silent to what are some amazing top quality live recordings. I can guarantee that you will not like every single track on the album but that is almost impossible with an album of this kind. I would go as far as saying that you are bound to enjoy at least 75% of the album though! So as to avoid being too wordy i will sum up each of the songs in less than five words!- 1. DOA - Foo Fighters - Flawless Dave Grohl! 2. Love Machine - Arctic Monkeys (Orig.Girls Aloud) - Hilarious & Fun 3. Run - Snow Patrol - Blows the single version away. 4. Crazy - Kooks (Orig. Gnarls Barkley) - Stand out track... Read review

Advantages: Some very good covers
Disadvantages: Some not so good covers

.... Disc: 2 1. Arctic Monkeys - You Know I'm No Good (Cover Track) The first Live Lounge CD was compiled with more fun tracks, but this one seemed to be compiled with more "serious" performances. After laughing their way through their cover of Girls Aloud's Love Machine last time round, the Artic Monkeys do quite a good rendition of Amy Winehouse's hit single. I prefer this version than the original. 2. Mika - Grace Kelly The ever so random Mika never fails to disappoint with his live version of Grace Kelly, all you would expect really. Funky piano playing and the unique voice to match. 3. James Morrison - You Give Me Something The original I really liked, very chilled out and sweet. This accoustic version provides the same sort of feeling from a different angle that works just as well. 4. 30 Seconds To Mars - Stronger (Cover... Read review
