One Vice At A Time - Krokus

Advantages: seriously easy to listen to
Disadvantages: the album is only 4 tracks long

...(especially if you know him personally). Almost as soon as it appeared, it disappears back into the high tempo song, which it stays with until the end, where it is replaced by a heart monitor sample. Some harmonious guitar solos in here, and an all round quality track. 02 What Did You Say? This track is cleverly mixed into the previous interlude of the sample. It is introduced by a heavy guitar tune, but is then softened out by a smooth piece of vocals. This is a song of vast contrasts. It goes from being at one point heavy, with screams, to the perfectly in tune vocal collaborations of the two singers. It dies down towards the end, but the tension builds up and releases itself in one almighty roar from John and the song finishes in a heavy manor!

...One of the most controversial computer games of all time has spawned one of the most diverse compilations of all time. Probably on no other compilation you will ever lay your eyes on would you see a collection of artists as miscellaneous as those above.

...I was not a huge fan of this album when it first came out. i still can't listen to 'golden touch', as i must have heard it about 300 times now! the rest of it seemed quite middle-of-the-road. However, after enjoying the band's second album so much, i decided to go back and give it a second chance. I'm very pleased i did! this album is full of cracking tunes - 'stumble and fall' & 'vice' are euthoric, jump around rockers, but both have the story and emotional punch to match. the songs i really loved second time around were 'don't go back to dalston' and 'to the sea', songs that are well worth a second listen. Overall, if you're looking for an introduction to Razorlight, buy the second album before this one. however this is well worth a listen!... Read review
