In The Top Ten Bands Of The 1970s

Advantages: So Easy To Listen To and some Great Tracks
Disadvantages: The Brilliant "Feel The Benefit" is not on this album

...which featured robotics. (This very best of album includes the Godley & Creme "Cry" which is a nice bonus) Back to 10cc..... The period from 1972 to 1979 was when in my opinion their output was at its absolute peak and many great songs were released. Their most recognisable are "I'm Mandy Fly Me", "Dreadlock Holiday", "I'm Not In Love" and "The Wall Street Shuffle".... my favourite though is "The Things We Do For Love" The only obvious negative is ...

Review of 1039/Smoothed Out Slappy Hours - Green Day

Are You Ready For A Good Time..?

Advantages: Loud, bad and one of the last great albums of rock.
Disadvantages: Commericalism was knocking on the door and the light of rebellion was starting to die out..

From the sun kissed beaches of Oz, the Scottish bums turned surfer dudes returned to London to explode into our brains with the sweaty smell of good old rock and roll. From one loud album after another, AC/DC has become, undoubtedly, the Gods of British rock. Yet, after the death of wild vocalist Bon Scott in February 1980, there we many of us who thought that the end was nigh for the masters of rock. Acquiring the forty a day tones of Brain Johnson, ...
...new voice. With mop of fuzzy hair sprouting from under a flat cap, AC/DC found the image that they had, all this time represented - long haul truckers. From the days of Bon Scot, they had developed a style which when fans were drawn in, they became fans for life, although by the time the mid Eighties rolled around, it was the sons and daughters of the original followers who found the 'school boy stage outfit' fitted like a glove. For anyone who ...

Review of Razor's Edge, The [Digipak] [Remastered] - AC/DC

Stay beautiful - forever

Advantages: One of the greatest albums ever
Disadvantages: Its took 10 years for most people to realise it

...On its first release, the Holy Bible was described by Sean as 'not the kind of album you would play at a party'. The Holy Bible was dark, deep, almost malignant evil, with lyrics of such power that they were sung through gritted angry teeth over a breathtaking rollercoaster ride of a soundtrack. It gets the respect it deserves with this edition, which is beautifully packaged and includes many new features, it's 3 discs including the much awaited ...
...exclusive DVD footage. The album shows the Manic Street Preachers at the peak of their powers, with scratchily metallic guitars, frantic drums and random samples, a glimpse of darkness and honesty which shone like a blackened beacon amongst a world of processed pop and meaningless lyrics. The lyrics are brutally honest, ranging from political correctness to the US gun law, to prostitution, concentration camps, the death of youth, slimming disorder ...

Review of Holy Bible, The (10th Anniversary Edition/Remastered/Parental Advisory/+DVD) [Digipak] [PA] - Manic Street Preachers

Hey Brix!

Advantages: Brix is back
Disadvantages: She left

This is an album that welcomed back Brix Smith to the Fall line up. Mark Smith's ex wife really adds to the charm of this album. The opening track 'The Joke' takes a swipe at political correctness gone mad and is a powerful social comment. "Don't Call Me Darling' featured screaming American vocals from Brix as she spits and snares the songs title in the catchy aggresive choruses more akin to the riot grrrl era than previous Fall tracks. My favourite ...
...punk tight drum and bass affair. "Life Just Bounces" is a rockabilly classic. This is far also features some great quirky moments such as "North West Fashion Show" and "Rainmaster". I saw The Fall live at the Pheonix Rock Festival and it started raining during that track. Ironic and it could only happen at a Fall gig. ...
