Music And Ballads From Ireland - Noel McLoughlin

Advantages: Proof they’ve still got what it takes.
Disadvantages: The long wait for the next album.

...with lyrics for all Oasis tracks, usual band info and even music lessons! Anyway, let’s look at the important part of the album – the tracks. Let’s ‘roll with it!’ (I promise that’s the last one – it’s out of my system now). 1.The Hindu Times (3’46) Written by Noel Gallagher. Sung by Liam Gallagher. “And I get so high I just can't feel it… …you're my sunshine you're my rain” A great opening track and first single from the album. Liam snarls his way through this return to ‘Definitely Maybe’ territory. The moody black and white video to the number 1 hit perfectly accompanies the song with Liam hunched over the microphone Jonny Rotten style and barium-laden milk flowing through his system for all to see! Lovely. 2.Force of Nature (4... Read review

...Being a big fan of Rock Ballads, as soon as I heard this advertised I rushed out to buy, I even paid £15.99 at HMV for it, although I am sure you could buy cheaper elsewhere for instance play.com, Amazon.co.uk to name but a few, but I just couldn’t be bothered to shop around and I wanted to hear sooner rather than later.

...'The Ballad Hits' by Roxette is a compilation of some of the duo's greatest ever tracks. Roxette is essentially a group of two from Sweden, named Marie and Per. They were huge in the late 1980s and throughout the whole of the 1990s. At the turn of the millenium, their popularity levelled out, and since Marie's surgery to remove a brain tumour in 2003, they have paled behind the scenes somewhat. This album was released early 2003 in the UK, and contains such tracks as 'Listen To Your Heart' and their smash hit 'It Must Have Been Love'. There are 15 tracks in all, most were seen in their album 'Don't Bore Us - Get To The Chorus', but this ballad album does reveal a few new songs. These are the tracks: 1. A Thing About You 2. It Must Have Been Love 3. Listen To Your Heart 4. Fading Like A Flower 5. Spending My Time 6. Queen... Read review
