Oakland Zone, The - Tower Of Power

Advantages: A 'New' CD from a great UK band
Disadvantages: Predominantly badly recorded demo tracks, a poor compilation of material

..., and once more they have chosen to release their material themselves with this Mini Album 'The Zone'. Comprising of eight tracks this is basically a collection of B-Sides and Rarities from the band and although their album has sold over 100 000 copies to date and has therefore been certified 'Gold', this latest release from Enter Shikari is unlikely to achieve anywhere near this amount of success. Kicking off with 'The Feast (demo)', if you're a fan of the band listening to this one then even at this early stage you'll already be beginning to pose the question as to what exactly the band are playing at in releasing this Mini-Album. The quality of this track is astoundingly poor, the drums in particular being extremely badly recorded and providing a sound that is tinny and distant.

Advantages: Upbeat Music, and Great Vocals Compared To Her Old Releases
Disadvantages: I Can't Say Nothing More. :)

......In the zone, is more like saying.. "Enter Britney's Zone", haha. Yes, indeed she matured enough from this album, no more poppy sounds and very teeny music style. well as I saw her kiss madonna at the VMA's, I was really expecting that they would mash up for a project or something.. and there it is..

I recommend you this album. Really nice.... Read review

...You either love them or hate them a familer saying applied to the towers of london! and how true it is! BAND! Ok so theres lead singer Donny Tourette claim to fame would be his short lived apperance on Celebrity Big Brother. Then We have His brother and secret force behind the band Dirk Tourette. The Rev actually an amazing guitarist but repuation not taken so seriously by the nature of the band. Bass Player Tommy Brunette just as bad mouthed as the rest of the band. And the guy holding the music together is drummer Snell. ALBUM Bringing back big hair, skinny jeans and loud aggressive music. Is Towers of London's Debut album "Blood sweat and towers" which echos former greats like the sex pistols work. However dont be mistaken, towers of london are great in there own ways. With lyrics that actually are pretty lame shouted... Read review
