Clutch From Beale Street to oblivion

Advantages: Loud, hard rock
Disadvantages: A little unvarying

...their lyrics, which cover everything from driving across to the States to imagining God meeting the devil. “You can’t stop progress” is all about trying not to behave badly: “Yes, I’ll be a responsible member / of this great and bless’d society / I’ve come to understand the wrongful nature / of gun ownership” but goes on to talk abut getting compensation “legally, legal-ish, or otherwise”. “Power player” is all about being a rock star flying in ...
.../ I just want another drink”, while “The devil and me” is all about God and the bad guy meeting face to face (and also supplies the album title): “The devil and me, bad blood and beef / An undisciplined child, a liar and a thief / It’s a low down shame, we were the best of friends”. “White’s ferry” meanwhile is all about driving to a ferry and “child of the city” about Johannes Trithemius, a magician; “Rapture of Riddley Walker” is based on a post-apocalytic ...

Hard hitting rocky blues, live Led Zeppelin at their best!

Advantages: Live Led Zeppelin!
Disadvantages: A few tracks are a combination of two nights performances (not a negative as far as im concerned

This is a fantastic Live Led Zeppelin CD collection; Arguably this is Zeppelin at their peak (although I would disagree because I feel that this was one of 3 peaks), showing off their distinctive ground breaking sound. There aren't many CD's offering live Led Zeppelin, and so for fans this CD was a must have addiction to their collection. I picked it up on the day of release and was too excited and couldnt wait to listen and had to put it on in the ...
...is fantastic, particularly for a live CD (baring in mind the tracks are from 1972..) and have been digitally restored flawlessly. The package itself is well made, with fantastic cover art and is very well laid out. This fantastic CD offers 3 CD's of pure Led Zeppelin performance. Although a few of the tracks are merged from the two seperate nights of the recordings (25th and 27th june 1972 at the L.A. Forum and Long Beach Arena) all of the songs ...

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 ...

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: ...

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" ...
