Piccadilly Story, The - Various Artists

Advantages: Relaxing story telling music with a bit of heart
Disadvantages: Too boring

...OK album, with a nice mix of different artist most of which i have never hear of before. As you can probably tell I'm not usually into this kind of music but being someone always looking to expand my musical horizons, I thought i would give it a go but was not too impressed. Most of the songs featured were not too impressive, many of which sounded very boring and generic for the genre. Track 15, Green Fields of France - Furey & Davey Arthur was probably one of the most impressive tracks on the album; this song featured delicately sung lyrics and an impressive story which i think is based on world war 2. Some of the other tracks were almost up to this standard but were too boring and didn't catch my attention.... Read review

Advantages: Lots - read in review in cons section
Disadvantages: NONE

...Play it LOUD - Various Artists After seeing the advert on TV regualary i bought the CD from a leading supermarket, this cost me about £11.99 and this was when it had just come out on the market, which i thought was a fair price for what you get, you get 2 cds, in a very nice decorated case which shows some fancy graphics with a man with headphones on listening to music looking up at the more well known band names on the cd's which are presented in bold capital writing, to give it a loud effect. Each cd includes 20 tracks which are listed below CD 1 = Kaiser Chiefs - Ruby Klaxons - Golden Skans The Killers - Bones Fall Out Boy - This Ain't A Scene It's An Arms Race The Fratellis - Chelsea Dagger The Automatic - Raoul Oasis - Live Forever Stone Roses - I Am The Resurrection Hard-Fi - Living...

Advantages: very happy, cheerful music
Disadvantages: some of the songs i thing are bit too long

...This album was released in June 2006, so it's over a year old now. However, it is definitely one of my favourite albums still. I like the style of the music which is indie/rock, soft rock. The music is happy and cheerful so i think it's a good album to listen to when you are feeling bit down or stressed. I also think that the lyrics are original, there are a lot of music artists that sing about the same things. However, this albums lyrics are not about the common things that most music artists write about in their lyrics, i think that makes the album better as the songs are different. I believe that the album got it's title because the lead singer used to have a journey through London that went through twelve stops. Overall, this album is a good album i think and i would defnititely recommend it still even though it's over a year old... Read review
