Only Life [PA] - Feelies (The)

Advantages: Energy
Disadvantages: Nothing outstandingc overall

...– Drums, percussion, backing vocals The opeing track is the track ""M-80 (Explosive Energy Movement)", A track that sounds very rock-punk (like punk-rock but rockier :-P), the lyrics actually allude to the rocky feel of the song "only cause i got rock 'n' roll" being one of the lyrical hooke used. A good short opening to the album in which the bands "energy" can really be felt. 8/10 "Life is a bullet", Carries on in a similar way to the previous song, strong heavy layered instrumentation, but this time with a little less energy and a little more clarity to the vocals. Lyrically the song isn't mind blowing but then again the genre doesn't ask of the lyrics of a Dylan or a Lennon, which really helps the song keep the controlled energy through it. 8/10 "Time and Time again" follows and again shows the raw energy of the band which help make...

...As a fan of Eminem I guess I’m a bit biased! But that’s life. This album has something for everyone. When selecting this album you have to decide whether you have liked his previous stuff, if so then this is the album for you. Eminem has changed his style once again and delivered another amazing album. Each track has its own individual story attached to it each giving an insight into Eminems’ life. And also the life he has with friends, relatives and the press. This album has not only rap but also Eminem singing which is a nice change but it is fantastic The album has fab art and a lovely dedication. This album comes highly recommended for anyone who loves Eminems’ previous work but also for anyone who wishes to try rap for the first time.... Read review

Advantages: Diverse collection of songs
Disadvantages: Having to wait about 2 years for his next album!

...This is the debut album from the artist that calls himself Simple Kid (aka Ciaran McFeely), and what an awesome debut it is. The NME tagged Simple Kid as the post-modern Bob Dylan, which while a very bold statement, the lyrics and songs that Simple Kid creates are extremely smart and witty. The only real way to do this album justice is to do a review of each track, as i have found that each track sounds so refreshingly different to the last one that, in essence, it sounds like a compilation of say 'the best songs of 2004'. 1. Hello This track is an excellent intro, with a mash up of looped electronic vocals, slide guitar, electric guitar and interesting vocals, the song builds up and crashes back down in such a great way, definately indicating the greatness of what else is to come. 2. Truck On With a harmonica intro on this track... Read review
