On Phonelines And Letterheads - My So Called Life

Advantages: easy to listen to full album without skipping tracks
Disadvantages: It's only 45mins long, you have to put it on repeat a lot.

...round it. I'm sure it's a pun of the colloquial expressions "you are the bee's knee's" and "head over heels". I think she was inspired when she was in love the actor Ryan Reynold. I do like this song but for me it doesn't show her at her best. There is a beautiful sitar used in this track. "So-Called Chaos," the album's title track, is a bit of a beast. It starts off quite disconcerting with vocals that stop and start, but once the chorus kicks in it gets going with a bit more rocky. I think this is my least favourite track - it's a bit too trashy and grungey for my liking. The lyrics are clever though.

Advantages: Street Life's spectacular lyricism is stellar like A STAR and IS BORN within each song.

Advantages: Brill album
Disadvantages: none

...I love this song!!! Alice Deejay is really good and I just love Dance music, this is one of the best songs that I have heard in years and the first time I heard Back in my life was when I was on holiday in spain and it was playing all the time, I didnt know who it was until I came home from holiday and I went straight out and bought it, and it was really worth the money. After that song I was a big Alice Deejay fan and I couldnt wait until the album was out so I could hear the rest of their music as I knew it would be worth buying because of this good track, and wasnt I right the album was outstanding. Another one of my fave alice deejay songs is Will I Ever it sounds like Back in my life but I think this one is better, I first heard this song when I was watching a music station and the video to it came on and I said to myself...
