Keep The Faith, Bon Jovi Bounce Back Once More...

Advantages: vocals, lyrics, musicianship, evident unity of the band....
Disadvantages: ....'Last Cigarette'

...self and Jon seems to have all the hunger that made him the star attraction he finds himself to be. 'I Am' acts as an out cry to a loved one who doesn't quite realise; ("I'm there to be that someone, when you think that no-one is there to hold your hand, I am"). Again, it's one of the albums strong points, which is a statement I could technically make with regards to each song that's come before, barring 'Last Cigarette'. It's easy to see that the ...
...hard-hitting rocker that again, could have served a far greater purpose than a mere 'bonus track'. The accompanying DVD showcases Bon Jovi at their finest , rocking Atlantic City with the likes of 'Everyday', 'Miss Fourth Of July' and 'The Radio Saved My Life Tonight' the picture and sound quality are superb, leaving me with the feeling that 5 live tracks just aren't enough *sigh* From the band that brought us the timeless classics 'New Jersey' and ...

Review of Have A Nice Day (+DVD) [Digipak] - Bon Jovi

An awesome first album

Advantages: An upbeat a funny album
Disadvantages: A unique sound and might not appeal to all.

Whats this Josh Homme's in another band. Yes this is another one of Josh's side projects, but is it a bad thing? Not at all! Eagles of Death Metal is very different to queens of the stone ago, with a front man like Carlo Von Sexron it wasn't ever going to be. The band offer a great funk rock sound dashed with a sense of humor, I've never really been able to explain exactly yeah, but I find this band reministent of the early days of rock and roll, ...
...is a great album with quite a unique sound. There are four notably awesome tracks; I only want you, Speaking in Tongue, so easy and miss alissa. The album starts off great with 3 out of the 4 awesome tracks i just mentioned. The rest of the album is good but if you listen to the album enough the middle can get a bit tiresome. There is a song on the album which is noticeably unique; Midnight Creep. This song is a bit like marmit, you if love it or ...

Review of Peace Love Death Metal - Eagles Of Death Metal

I Know It's Over

Advantages: Great songs and great singing
Disadvantages: Still don't dig Eternal Life

...6 concerts in Jeff Buckley's Mystery White Boy tour make up this live album. My ratings are as follows: [*] - Nothing really catches the attention. [**] - Something grabs my attention. [***] - Gets me air-drumming, air-guitaring and singing along to the track. 1. Dream Brother Slow to start, and though in the buildup there is some laidback vocal improvisation, Jeff is having to squeeze hard for some of those falsetto notes. [**] 2. I Woke Up In A ...
...heavy, and the riffs dirty. [***] 3. Mojo Pin Solid but for the final bridge where Jeff slips into sheepish singing - however he does come on strongly for the finale. [**] 4. Lilac Wine As if Buckley has had too much to drink here, what with the guitar losing its way and his vocals being reduced to a croak at the end, though the improvisation in the singing is as strong as it is soulful. [***] 5. What Will You Say Similar to Dream Brother in that ...

Review of Mystery White Boy - Jeff Buckley

X-Tina's X-Mas

Advantages: Lots of big tunes
Disadvantages: Final Dance track

“My Kind Of Christmas” came out in 2000 and was the first Christmas album for the Pop singer Christina Aguilera. Coming directly off her debut album, which was then re-recorded in Spanish, it was released prior to her “Stripped” years and so has her in a position where she was much more accessible to the 'family' market. Here she mixes traditional carols with well-covered Christmas classic and some of her own original ones. 1.“Christmas Time” We ...
...that I felt made a strong impression as it shows that here she is down to bring an album that reflects how her debut album sounded with the heavy R&B influence, but she ensured that it sounded as though it stuck to the main 'Christmas' themes. It was one of only two singles from the album, and I felt that it was a nice way to get it underway. **Four Starr** 2.“This Year” We see that she comes in with another fresh tune (a non-cover) here and she ...

Review of My Kind Of Christmas [ECD] - Christina Aguilera

A let down in comparison with the previous 3 volumes

Advantages: Some good tracks
Disadvantages: Not as good as the previous volumes, less covers

I have been eagerly anticipating Live Lounge Vol 4 having loved the previous 3 volumes. However, I was very disappointed with this collection. It contains less covers than the previous volumes. The covers for me where always the best thing about it. There are several good tracks including Little Boots doing Beat Again, Biffy's Love, Sex, Magic and Kasabian's cover of Gwen Stefani. I found Lady Gaga's Pokerface an unexpected highight. However, there ...
