Back To Bedlam. Bang goes my street-cred

Advantages: Some good songs
Disadvantages: All a bit samey

...- and his first album, Back To Bedlam - attracts opinions that are much more varied than the contents of the album itself. Personally, I think the album is ok - even bordering on good - but my main criticism of it would be the similarity of a lot of the songs. So much so that I find it impossible to give a track-by-track analysis and find enough to say about each song. Most people will be familiar with the album's signature track, You're Beautiful, ...
...the rest of the album: strummy acoustic guitars, simple pleasing harmonies, well-written meaningful lyrics and that little-bit-posh, little-bit-whiney, little-bit-nasal voice that wouldn't sound out of place narrating a Famous Five story. A few of the songs do stir me emotionally (especially Goodbye My Lover) and, on the whole, it is an album that I ocassionally enjoy listening to from start to finish. I would guess that this opinion is secretly ...

An excellent album

Advantages: good songs
Disadvantages: just one cd, I wishe there were two or three

...It is Barbara Streisand`s second live album and it was recorded long ago in 1972. If you own her first live album you will be able to make the difference between the two. It shows how much her music has grown and diversified. Although she hasn`t played at concerts for nearly 5 years Barbara Streisand has often played in Casino`s in Las Vegas. There is very funny monologue where she pretends to be smoking marijuana. Two interesting facts- 1. This ...

Top Ten Hits Of The 60's

Advantages: Some great Songs
Disadvantages: Some terrible Songs

As a proud owner of this album myself I can tell you that by buying it you will not be dissapointed. As an avid fan of 60's music myself, yet not from that era myself, i was as eager as anyone to get my hands on this product regardless! Personally I enjoyed tracks 3,7, and 9 best. Some of the good old classics! Admittedly the other ones may have been slightly poorly chosen, but I assume it was some poor uneducated survey collector somewhere who ...

Are we only millions of bricks?

Advantages: The best Pink Floyd's LP
Disadvantages: none

...harvest of my life. The Wall, written in 1979 by Pink Floyd and performed by David Gilmour and the sublime Roger Waters is my best Lp. A long music tale, telling the story of Pinky: his youthness, the heavy love of his mother, his strange loves and, finally, the changing in his mind and in his life. The base concept is: are we only a brick in the wall? Only an anonimous part of a big building: only arms, without brain, without heart? around thi ...
