"Amy Macdonald This is your life"
Review of This Is The Life - Amy MacDonald by jcneil

Advantages: Good voice
Disadvantages: Too much Irish Folk

...became a suprise hit around this time last year when her debut album This is Life was one of the biggest sellers. The Scottish born Macdonald has had some people thinking she was Irish for due to her singing voice having a distinct Irish tone. Here is a little bit about her rise to stardom. She started writing and performing songs at the age of 15 around Glasgow and sent a demo cd away after an NME advert. She was then signed to the production company ... Read review

accoustic/folk excellence
Review of This Is The Life - Amy MacDonald by meeeee4

Advantages: brilliant guitar player, secret song at the end
Disadvantages: she needs to bring another album out!

I love this album! I got this album bought for me as a birthday present and ungratefully discarded it at the bottom of a drawer for some strange reason. I then heard one of her songs "this is the life" play on radio one and immedietely loved it! i played the whole album 4 times that night because it was so good! among the content are "mr rock and roll" which, with the title of the album, is the most recognisable. My favourite however has to ... Read review

Refreshing celtic folk/pop
Review of This Is The Life - Amy MacDonald by rumble_g

Advantages: Feel good factor
Disadvantages: not much to pick at

I bought this album on the strength of one song - the title track "this is the life", before this song flooded the airwaves of BBC Radio 2 i had never heard of Amy Macdonald, i am now happy that i have. This album is jam packed with celtic folk/pop and a refreshing feel good factor, despite some of the more serious lyrical content. Amy is a 19 year old with a lot to say her songs comment on social trends and the media influence. "Footballers Wife" ... Read review

Young and very talented
Review of This Is The Life - Amy MacDonald by connor.pamela

Advantages: Easy listening
Disadvantages: none

...Mr rock and roll and This is the life which are the two most recognisable songs on the album but also includes the titles Poison prince, Youth of today, Run, Lets start a band, Barrowland ballroom, L.A, A wish for something more, footballers wife and The road to home. Her lyrics are very meaningful, each with a clear message that make you think. The youth of today is a song that I think many young people would relate to. Her voice reminds me a ... Read review

A bit of Celtic Joy
Review of This Is The Life - Amy MacDonald by greg1965

Advantages: Always on repeat
Disadvantages: Always on repeat!

...say after 2 months with this album it fails to lose its appeal for me. It's folky, uptempo, and Let's Start A Band always gets the whole household singing. I have a particular affinity with Footballers Wives as the bunch of wasters and celebrity seekers that they are(oops! a little bit too political?) How this talent not even got a mention at the Brits is beyond me when Kate Nash (who I don't mind by the way) and the rest of the Brit School mob take ... Read review
