Not a lot of people know this...

Advantages: One of the top songs of the year
Disadvantages: Only one from an excellent album released in the charts by this awesome group

Sixpence none the richer's super hit "kiss me" is one of those rare songs which occasionally come along, and just stick in your mind. So where did this group suddenly spring from? I have been following them for a while now, and their roots are quite interesting. They have released a number of albums, and as far as I understand singles aswell. So why didn't we hear about them? Simple - they were all released into the Christian charts in America. ...
...songs, many of which I have heard played in churches. This is one of the rare occasions whereby a Christian artist released a single into the "normal" charts - and it achieved amazing success. Just goes to show that church music has come a long way from "onward Christian Soldier," and such... An excellent allround song, with a fresh original sound - and a message behind it than is unbeatable! ...

1Punk - MXPX - The Ever Passing Moment

Advantages: Blink 182 fans will love'm
Disadvantages: Very pop/punk

This is the latest release from a 3 piece band, which over the years (since 1994 with the release of 'Pokinatcha'), have become a quite a lot more popular. It's easy to see why because their music is now seen as a lot more catchy (not really a god thing) to most people. fans of Blink 182 can not fail to notice the talent of the MXPX 3, Mike Herrera - Bass + vocals, Yuri Ruley - Drums, and Tom Wisniewski - guitar and backing vocals. For anyoune expecting ...
...They sing about life and love, which is often only good if you can relate to it. When I first heard it, I thought it sounded a bit like the Steriophonics , thank God though, it soon changed. The one thing that I don't like about this CD is the fact that most of the songs sound a lot alike. Mikes voice is very loud compared to the instruments, so it's often hard to distinguish between tracks. Even Foo Fighters frontman - Dave Grohl, hepls out on ...

I'm a little Delirious now...

Advantages: Lots.
Disadvantages: See text.

...I shall be looking at King Of Fools which is an album by Delirious. This particular group is a band whose members are all Christians, but whose lyrics are not always seen as being Christian based. What this means is that when compared with a lot of popular music today, although Delirious are a Chhristian group when compared to many other bands they could all be on a similar level in terms of what their lyrics are all trying to say. Now I have done ...
...back to them. 7. King Or Cripple. A song that talks about no matter how fragile we are, God things of us as being more like a perfect being. 8. Hands Of Kindness. Almost a carry on of the theme in the last song, but a little quieter. 9. White Ribbon Day. Talking about where God is when all seems to go wrong, but then asking God to give us His eyes in being able to see things from His point of view. 10. King Of Fools. A song that talks about God being ...

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" ...
