Perfect Passion - A New Day

Advantages: Enchanting Power new style
Disadvantages: Different from Skin of olf Skunk Anansie

..." that are sung with passion and volume capture the lilting highlights of Skin's powerful voice. "You've made your bed" opens with a small range of piano notes, before introducing Skin's opening powerful line ""I'm a one night stand, screwed a whole damn year, cos your sneaky face, comes streaked with tears". Each line is dealt with such passion that you can almost hear the tears as though this was based on a real life experience. Each ending note is held perfectly, merging into the unique background music before the next verse. Close your eyes and you can almost taste the atmosphere within the song. Following on, "As long as that's true" has a very similar opening, with the piano accompaniment playing a large part.

Advantages: polly (new wave) and Heart Shaped Box
Disadvantages: some sound quality is lost

...From the Muddy Banks Of The Wishkah By Nirvana is a live album taken from various different live gigs that Nirvana played. It includes one of my all-time favourite nirvana songs Aneursym that combines perfectly what nirvana are all about, energy, and passion personified. This basically what this live album is all about and I think is does it to perfection. It also contains Polly but the new wave version which just making it faster with heavier guitars. Smells like teen spirit sounds a lot better live with the quicker pace of the whole song. If you’re a nirvana fan which you probably are if you are reading this then you should buy this it’s pure genius.... Read review

Advantages: Classic set of tracks, superb sound quality
Disadvantages: Tracks that are left off

.... 'Brave new world' The title track from their latest album, this goes down well, with great mellower moments to offset the hard rock. 5. 'Wrathchild' Dickinson introduces this as a track from Maiden's 'jurassic period'! This classic goes down a storm, played at lightning speed, and with Dickinson reaching more high notes than you might expect of a man of his age! 6. '2 minutes to the midnight' A huge roar from the crowd greets this, a true metal 'balls-to-the-wall' anthem! 7. 'Blood brothers' This passionate track is dedicated by Dickinson to; "supporters of Iron Maiden and metal in South America". A great change of pace. 8. 'Sign of the cross' One of the two epics based on Scottish clans, this is one of the few representatives of the Blaze Bayley era Maiden catalogue. Dickinson's voice is perfectly suited, and this is musically intricate... Read review
