Planet Smashers, The/Attack Of The Planet Smashers/Life Of The Party/10 (+DVD) - Planet Smashers (The)

Advantages: Superb Prog Metal
Disadvantages: Cheesy Subject Might Put Some Off

...It's Devin Townsend but not as you know him. Ziltoid The Omniscient is a concept album, and Townsend provides everything, he's done the vocals, the music, played everything, and the story start with Ziltoid, a 4 dimensional alien hovering 5 miles above Qatar demanding he be brought the best cup of coffee the Earth has to offer. Disappointed in the cup that he's given he sets out to destroy the planet with the 6th Dimensional Planet Smasher. Suffice to say things just get weird and amusing from here on out, with the hero of the story Captain Spectacular set out to expose Ziltoid as a nerd! The music is great, and unless you really have a problem with the somewhat cheesy or should that be tongue in cheekness of the lyrics your going to love this album. At times it shows some almost Dream Theater like sounds, and that's never a bad thing... Read review

Advantages: Unique voice
Disadvantages: none

...Dido's new album 'No Amgel' is really excellent. All her songs are truly unique and voice is strong and constant in all songs. The CD features enhanced video tracks and includes the hits 'here with me' and 'thankyou'. The Tracks on the CD are: 01. Here with Me 02. Hunter 03. Don't think of mw 04. My lover's gone 05. All you want 06. Thankyou 07. Honestly Ok 08. Slide 09. Isobel 10. I'm no angel 11. My life BONUS TRACK: Take my hand Enhanced Videos: Here with me, Thankyou. The Album, which at one point was at number one in the album chart is filled with tracks and lyrics. Although it doesn't Include Eminem's no.1 Smash hit Stan is not featured on the album (which Dido starred in), it does include the original track 'Thankyou' (without Eminem). This album is a smasher!... Read review
