Light Inside: Still Burnin' Bright?

Advantages: Some good songs
Disadvantages: Not the most solid album.

...I mean as opposed to just typical rock instruments, things like deejay scratching noises and lots of different vocal layering were experimented with. A lot of bands have learnt things from Aerosmith over the course of time, and so I guess Aerosmith decided to have a go at using more modern sounds. There have been complaints over recent times that Aerosmith have outside writers helping with write songs. I guess in some cases this can be a bad thing, ...
...all that great. The chorus: Just push play - f**k it hey!' is blanked out on some versions of the album with more record scratches. The band Aerosmith have said that what was lacking in their song catalogue was a party-esque song. So here it is. It does it well and sets a party atmosphere, but not something you'd conventionally expect on a rock and roll album. 'Jaded' and 'Sunshine' are both rock/pop friendly songs, and it is easy to see why they ...

Review of Just Push Play [SACD] - Aerosmith

You better you better you bet

Advantages: Read text thanks
Disadvantages: Read text thanks

...This is a greatest hits album from a band who I have up there as one of the master bands of Rock and Roll music. I am sure some of this bands songs have appeared on movies as soundtracks. In addition the main reason I bought this album is because they included the song you better you bet as track number 16 as well as the classic song 'who are you'. Largely because of these two classic tracks I bought the album as I wanted to listen to other tracks ...
...songs all of which were greatest hits by the Who. I will try to describe and detail as best as I can on a track by track basis. ------------------------------- Track 1: I can't explain: This perhaps is an interesting song, as it starts off in a punchy and forceful way on the guitar as well as having nice to hear lyrics. The song provided me with a pleasant mood to hear other songs on the list. Overall I find this a really great track that really ...

Review of Greatest Hits [Remastered] - Guess Who (The)

Of Whales and not so much of the woe if you please!

Advantages: see review
Disadvantages: none

Of Whales and Woe is Les Claypool's first proper solo album. His name may not be familiar to all as he is better known as Primus' frontman bassist extraordinaire. This album was released back in 2006 on his own record label Prawn Song. (It was recently re-released on vinyl as of November 2009.) Not so much of the wacky lyrics on this album but a far more accessable feel than his previous works. Nearly every track featured here is bass-driven in his ...
...check this out! The arrangements of the other instruments like saxophone sitar, guitar and drums, etc sit really well together without drowning anything out. The songs themselves are really catchy and you'll find yourself singing along too by the end of it. There is even one track on here, Iowan Girl, written specially for his wife with some of the most amazing bass playing I have ever heard. There isn't a bad track on here in my opinion. TRACK LISTING: ...

Review of Of Whales And Woe - Les Claypool

My review of Radiohead´s OK Computer

Advantages: A great number of songs are good. Highly original.
Disadvantages: No all the songs are that great.

Radiohead does it again. Highly original record. Most songs last forever. The in and out bass line of "Airbag" is brilliant. I also like the way this song slowly unfolds, specially the brilliant guitar. You might be surprised to hear that I don´t care too much for "Paranoid Android" one of their most famous singles. I thought "Subterranean Homesick Alien" was great too. "Let Down" is also a super song that must be in your collection. "Karma Police" ...

My review of Sarah Mclachlan´s Afterglow

Advantages: A few super songs.
Disadvantages: Some songs are not that good musically speaking.

I have always admired and been a fan of Sarah McLachlan´s music. Certain songs I find better than others. My favorite song in this record is "Fallen". It is a musically breath taking and perfect song in my opinion. It is one of those songs that lasts forever. I never get tired of listening to it. I also liked "Drifting", "Answer" and "Time". I didn´t care too much for the rest. She has great songs, the only problem with the album is that it is one ...
