Advantages: Melody and Gracefulness, a change of pace Disadvantages: Not a lot to say here
...With their third full length release Deftones are continuing on a path to being the most important of the alternative metal bands in the business. White Pony simply encourages this trend with its crest of musical maturity.
White Pony opens with a burst of passion unyielding throughout the record. Chino Moreno's squeals and moans are counterbalanced by an intense anthemic guitar-laden approach. The difference with the Deftones, compared to their commercial rivals, is an apparent seasoned knowledge of the limits of experimentation and a love for all that is grand about great alternative metal.
Track five, "Street Carp," soars above the rest for its hook meets studio gadgetry infectiousness. Dipping into virtually every genre associated with alternative rock's recent history there are equal parts of industrial, metal and hip...

Advantages: Mostly pleasant listening and has some quite good ideas Disadvantages: But when it comes to execution falters down into generic blandness
...movies that should (and do) have wonderful musical accompaniments that evoke the strange enviroments they are supposed to represent. When things don't go exactly how we expect them to, then it will cause some head scratching.

While playing hide and seek one day in the house, Lucy happens to hide inside a wardrobe and soon finds herself transported to the fantasy land of Narnia. The place is ruled by the tyrannical White...

Advantages: Good range of songs, Widely available Disadvantages: Mainly relevant to fans of Lion King film
...This soundtrack is from the Disney film, Lion King, a timeless classic! A must-have CD to the collection! Lion King is a childs movie, although at the time of release it also appealed to an older market, and attracted viewers of all ages. As every typical Disney film has, it's got a good range of catchy tunes throughout the film, and these are all included on the soundtrack. The CD cost me £13.99 from Virgin Megastore at christmas last year. However, you can always find it as a bargain, with a special offer!
I thought that this CD was a good collection of songs, and it appeals to all age ranges. I think that with the good range, that it should be more popular. I would recommend it to anybody that likes musicals or film related music because it contains a whole range to suit everyone. This is never out of my CD player! It can...
