The greatest of all the New Romantics

Advantages: The best of the New Romantics with some catchy 80's songs.
Disadvantages: Some of the later songs not quite as good as eariler stuff

...heady pop mix. Greatest contains their hit singles from their first album Duran Duran though to the wedding ablum. Hits include Girls on film, hungry like the wolf, Rio,wild boys and ordinary world to name a few.They hold up surprsingly well with their catchy lyrics and Duran always were a classy pop band. Some of the later songs meet el presidente and skin trade were a bit patchy but ordinary world and come undone were great returns to form. My ...

Advantages: Fantastic songs
Disadvantages: Not enough

Great 1st new album from this wonderful band! It the first for the 5 of them since 1985. They have done some really good albums between then with various line-up. I bought the 2 disc album, which is really good. The dvd has the live show with some of the new songs on. MY only hate on this whole album is taste the summer. They played this live at Birmingham this year and have to say it sucks! My personal favs are want you more, finest hour and the ...

Best Band of the 80's

Advantages: -
Disadvantages: -

...day. The Duran Duran Greatest Hits Album has got to be one of the best albums I have ever purchased and it only cost £5 aswell. With the main songs that they have released over two decades, its a really good feel good album, takes you back and in my opinion is an album that will never be forgotton. Duran Duran are a band that although you may not have grown up with, people know who they are and what they have contributed to the music industry and ...
...will still be heard too. Although Duran Duran have that 80's feel about them within the tracks, the difference about them and todays music is that they are all themed different, and don't sound like the same track, they have plenty of variation and are not portraying a life story like everyone seems to be following these days which gets a little bit tiring, as even though some people may be famous, or in some cases may be not, we don't want to know ...

Pop-Stars? More like Flop-Stars!

Advantages: None
Disadvantages: Watered Down, Teenage, Stupid

I'm not giving Metro Station a bad review just because Trace Cyrus is Miley Cyrus's brother. The reason I am giving them a bad review is because the album they produced is just awful. It shouldn't even be called music. It is watered-down pop punk that doesn't really deserve much recognition. The lyrics are unimaginative and and are just cheesy to the point of being unbearably annoying. Unfortunatly, songs such as "Shake It" have wormed their way ...

Arkansas rockers produce immense album

Advantages: Original, Tuneful, Powerful
Disadvantages: Depressing

Evanescence are one of the bands in an obscure section of rock that action get media attention. This is unusual. The thing that definitely stood out to me on the album was Amy Lee's (vocalist) ability to use classic instruments to boost the originality. I will review this album, track-by-track. **Going Under** This song is one of the heavier tracks of the album. The tempo of this track is generally slow but it is still good. Lee's vocals in this ...
...at the same time. **Bring me to Life** This song is the one that launched Evanescence into the limelight. It was a #1 in Britain for four weeks which surprised a lot of people because of their genre. This chart postition was definitely well deserved as it is a powerful song. Lee's vocals are assisted by Paul Mccoy as an extra in the chorus. **Everybody's Fool** This song has a more mainstream feel to it than other songs on this album. The intro ...
