Misery Speaks - Misery Speaks

Advantages: Quality meaningful tracks.
Disadvantages: None for me..........

...Speak and Destroy is the first album from Tairrie and co. This album sounds very different from anything that she had done in the Tura Satana days. 1) The swift opening spoken word track *Prologue* sts the tone and prepares the listener for what is to come. 2) The first main track 'Terror' was previously a spoken word hidden track on a Tura Satana album. Now though, it features a low hauting theme throughout. This track is more or less Tairrie speaking about herself and how she is seen and how she really is and feels. Quite angry meanings put across in a controlled, almost elegant mannor. Makes the listener think. 3) Preacher is one of my favourite tracks ont eh album. It comes in with a funky bass line, then the drums add the headbanging potential! lol. Tairries voice is quite haunting in this track, almost sort of possessed... Read review

Advantages: Varying styles
Disadvantages: Wont last

...To be honest I first listened to this because I had seen a couple of Lohans films and was interested to see what her cd sounded like but didn't expect it to be very good. But I was surprised to find I actually liked it. Obviously it wont be to everyones taste but the style of songs does vary throughout the album. The song First, used on her film Herbie Fully Loaded has a slightly rockier edge, as does Speak, whilst Rumours is more of a club track. Although the majority of songs were not written by Lohan herself many of the lyrics do seem to apply to her life (although most of the lyrics could be applied to any teenagers life) and she seems to sing from the heart. (Throughout many of the songs, such as Nobody Til You, Symptoms of You, Something I Never Had, and Very Last Moment In Time, you get the impression she is singing about her... Read review

Advantages: Interesting songs, different from most teen pop
Disadvantages: can be repetitive

...with other girls for the 'love' of a boy. Guitars start it off then Lindsay's voice suddenly kicks in. It has a Pop feel to it but some Rock thrown in to the mix. 2. Nobody 'til you - 3.37 Has a bass drum/guitar intro then a husky voice comes in, again all about 'love'.Saying that because of 'you' she has a better life. It has some of the same qualities of Ashlee Simpson's work, another pop beat but very strong bass comes through. 3. Symptons of you - 2.55 One of the slower songs of the album, starts off with a piano, very calm and serene, but gradually gets a better beat for the chorus. One of the worse songs in my opinion. 4. Speak - 3.46 The title track, one of my favourites. Starts off with whispering over the top of a bass drum and comes in with an electric enhanced voice. For the chorus it is much more of a real sound and has... Read review
