Philly Golden Classics - First Choice

Advantages: Truely a classic
Disadvantages: Not good if your not into R n B

...Ok, so this is essentially a greatest hits album, with all of your favourite Boy II Men singles compiled onto one CD, what more could you want. I was not really a big fan of the boys in the past, but got bought this as a prezzie from my boyfriend after many hints were dropped one valentines days. It could be bought at the time for around £13 pounds but I expect it could be bought for less in stores now. Alternatively you can buy it at www.amazon.co.uk for £11.99. This album is full of relaxing tracks, classic of the Boyz II men style. With the smooth and husky tones of their voices that you know and love them for. It's ideal for a romantic night in for two, take away, film and then Boy II men whilst watching the fire burn...catch my drift. Some of the tracks are.... *Mowtown Philly *Hard to say goodbye *Still of the night *Down... Read review

Advantages: Beanie Sigel's Best Album So Far

Collabo cuts like "One Shot Deal" with Redman plays raw, while "Gotta Have It" with Peedi Peedi and Twista is catchy and consistent. However, aside from the two bonus cuts ("It's On" ft. Jay-Z and "Wanted" ft. Cam'ron), probably the most effective collabo cut on the album is "Flatline" featuring Peedi Crack. The feverish Philly track produced by Boola for Boola Music (who has a stellar outing on the LP) is run-and-gun all the way with Peedi striking first, then Sigel with his verse, chorus, another Sigel verse, then Peedi once again. The grown and sexy Neptunes track, "Don't Stop" featuring Snoop Dogg is thrown in for good measure to put a bounce into the album... Read review

Advantages: A Classic
Disadvantages: None

.... That Central European image and fascination somehow found him continued favour with the snotty young things and he emerged from this period stronger than he had ever been, although it took Low and Heroes to really regenerate his career. Stationtostation dripped with classic romantic touches and provided Bowie with a whole new challenge, requiring him to actually sing as he had rarely done before. The songs on the album were clinical and panoramic and thoroughly inspiring, ranging from the bump and grind dance of TVC15 and Golden Years to the big ballad sounds of Word On A Wing and Wild Is The Wind. Just to complete the roll call, the title track and Stay also revel in the grandiose and epic treatment and it is probably Stationtostation which has aged best from this collection of six stupendous numbers. It builds gracefully and with patience from... Read review
