An excellent album

Advantages: good songs
Disadvantages: just one cd, I wishe there were two or three

...It is Barbara Streisand`s second live album and it was recorded long ago in 1972. If you own her first live album you will be able to make the difference between the two. It shows how much her music has grown and diversified. Although she hasn`t played at concerts for nearly 5 years Barbara Streisand has often played in Casino`s in Las Vegas. There is very funny monologue where she pretends to be smoking marijuana. Two interesting facts- 1. This ...

Review of Live Concert At The Forum - Barbra Streisand

Unplugging The Musical Ability Of Eric Clapton

Advantages: Great Tracks Throughout
Disadvantages: None

...own a couple of other Unplugged releases, Paul McCartney and Bob Dylan, but this is probably my favourite, as the musical ability of Eric Clapton and the material chosen is superb, allowing it to stand ahead of the others in sheer overall quality. And considering that you get over an hour of material, the value for money is also excellent, with great tracks throughout, showing why praise and awards were lavished upon it. 1. Signe 3:14 2. Before You ...

Review of Unplugged - Eric Clapton

dookie the beggining of greatness

Advantages: longview, pushing teeth, the whole album
Disadvantages: nothing

ok i have to say i absolutely love this album i first brought it back in 1994 when i was 10 on tape and have had to replace it several times on cd due to over listening it. This album was a great way to introduce your band to the world, its catchy tunes that had lyrics relevant to its young listeners, which are still relevant today. Billie joe armstrong has it all great looks great voice great writing ability and he plays the guitar fantasticaly ...
...for success. song to listen to is pushing teeth a 60s influenced track that is catchy and will have you singing along for days. If you have only got into green day since american idiot i suggest you buy some of their early stuff. listen out for the hidden track at the end of the album, it will have you in stitches. ...

Review of Dookie - Green Day

Something special

Advantages: Simply brilliant rock/pop crossover
Disadvantages: Lyrically too adventurous for some

...know that by the time Nevermind was released and launched them to worldwide fame, they had been touring for years and had built up a fantastic reputation on the Seattle scene as the kings of grunge music. Nevermind is Nirvana's second album and it was really kicked off by the success of the single 'Smells like Teen Spirit', this song caught the attention of a generation with the high school video where the punks invade and it ends in a warped mess ...
...for American music and really gave soft rock a bit of a kicking. Made up of lead singer Kurt Cobain, bassist Krist Novoselic and drummer Dave Grohl, this album was the culmination of years of soul searching for the pizies loving Cobain. Produced by Butch Vig subsequently of Garbage fame, the album worked partly because of the exceptional music and words, but also because Cobain's style of quiet reflection followed by hellish rock brought a real contrast ...

Review of Nevermind - Nirvana (US)

Some Might Say This Is Oasis' Crowning Glory

Advantages: Ten excellent tracks. Superb lyrics. Good booklet.
Disadvantages: Not sure of the value of the two mini tracks.

This album is a superb follow up to the debut "Definitely Maybe". There are 12 tracks two of which, the untitled songs 6 and 11, are really subtracks which either link the songs either side or lead in to the following track. The running time is, give or take a second, 50 minutes exactly. It contains four singles that all reached either number 1 or 2 in the UK singles charts and contains probably the band's best work alongside the aforementioned ...
...with a greater number of tracks on this album than on any of their other albums. I would say this album cemented Oasis' place as one of the very top acts of the era. The booklet contains some interesting portrait photos and also the lyrics although they do not appear in track running order, except for the opening and closing tracks which do appear in the anticipated places. "Hello" is a rousing opening track and a great song. Not sure I would expect ...
