My Soul For His Glory - Behexen

Advantages: Scottish, celtic niche, very pleasant

...inspired melodies. We threw away the original lyric and I added a new instrumental sections and a new title. Jan Thore came up with a new melody and lyric and voila A listeners rating: 5 out of 5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This Promise I Swear is very special to me and close to my heart since my wife and I chose this for our entrance song at our Celtic wedding. The song is truly beautiful musically, lyrically, and spiritually. Splendid singing accompanied by lush piano melodies, sweeping gentle lead guitar and harmonies that sooth the soul. Bias aside I would easily give this a rating of six out of 5 if it was possible. Jans voice is almost angelic on the track and many wedding guests implored to know, "Who sings that divine song?" I even was asked to make copies of our wedding CD for people. I believe... Read review

This is what Sambora is all about, lots of soul and guitar. 9/10 Track 10 Who I Am 7:08 “Who I used to be ain’t what I am, if you walked inside my shoes, then you would understand…” Is this another allusion to his life in the limelight?

Awesome guitar solo. 9/10 Track 11 Downside of Love 5:26 “On the downside of love, where love turns to hate, we just can’t relate…” Another mellow ballad and I am totally letting myself go with it.

Advantages: A lot of differentiation compared to the previous album, some upbeat songs.
Disadvantages: Still a reasonable amount of similarity.

...All The Lost Souls is the new album from James Blunt, the artist who burst onto the sceens with the classic, 'You're Beautiful' in 2004. That album was one of the best selling albums of that year and I've no doubt that this will do the same. In the new album, he has experimented with the sound a lot more than in the debut album, with a much wider range of sounds and lyrics in the songs. Compared with the first album where many songs sounded very similar, such as 'High' and 'Tears & Rain' where the guitar part was identical, this album offers the listener a much more differential sound. His first single, 1973, is much more upbeat than his original stuff, with a very catchy tune to it. Yet he is still able to offer that classical, laid back style like 'Goodbye My Lover' in the new song 'Annie'. 'Carry You Home' gives listeners... Read review
