Private Peaceful - Coope Boyes & Simpson

Advantages: Only shows half of her face on the front cover
Disadvantages: the whole thing

...and Screaming This song is about breaking up with a boyfriend, that will need and want her more than ever. She is undecided as to whether or not she likes this boy, but she will drag him thorugh the break-up kicking and screaming, hense the title. I find her voise to be most annoying in this song. Say Goodbye Another self involved song about Ashlee Simpson's break up. I would say the title is appropriate for this song. This album is extremely self involved. As a listener I was irrate by the end of this album feeling that when Ashlee Simpson gets dumped, some poor writer has to think of songs for her to sing about it. Typical from Ashlee, all relationship songs. I find that her voice sounds very scratchy in this album. I would recommend this one to anyone who enjoys the follwoing artists: Hillary Duff, Skye Sweetnam, Avril Lavegne, Kelly Clarkson... Read review

Advantages: John's haunting lyrics and voice
Disadvantages: Yoko's less pleasing voice on some tracks

Advantages: great return to form
Disadvantages: very dark and isturbing

...despite the much publisiced private life of dave gahan, depeche mode have always managed to maintain a credibility that many of there 80s counterparts would be insanely jealous. here when it looked as if they may never record again, the boys show us what made them one of the worlds biggest bands, there are beautiful moments such as home and its no good, but there are also some very dark and surreal tracks, gahan sounds as if he is singing for his life and had never sounded more complete. Should have been bigger saleswise but a remarkable album of heartache discovery and lost innocence, and all the better for it.... Read review
