The Early Essex Days

Advantages: Includes his top selling hits.
Disadvantages: They are the only good ones.

...these is the CD, The Best of David Essex. It has been in my possession for many years. How it came to be I cannot say. My mum is a huge fan, to say the least and when he was touring locally my company was always requested as she didn't want to go alone. I have always enjoyed his music although I find his earlier music better. This Album was released in 1996 by Sony Music. It covers tracks from his early days through to the time it was released. It ...
...this CD is entitled the Best Of, the songs mainly consist, if not all, from the early to mid 70's when David was being managed by Jeff Wayne. Therefore I think the title is a little misleading and I guess I fell for it too as not all the songs are to my taste. In fact some bore the pants off me! The tracks start well. *Hold me close* is the opening song, and followed by *Rock on* (which was his first song) and *Gonna make you a Star*. All were hits ...

Review of Best Of David Essex, The - David Essex

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 ...

Review of Greatest Hits [Remastered] - Guess Who (The)

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: ...

Review of Of Whales And Woe - Les Claypool

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" ...

My review of Sarah Mclachlan´s Afterglow

Advantages: A few super songs.
Disadvantages: Some songs are not that good musically speaking.

I have always admired and been a fan of Sarah McLachlan´s music. Certain songs I find better than others. My favorite song in this record is "Fallen". It is a musically breath taking and perfect song in my opinion. It is one of those songs that lasts forever. I never get tired of listening to it. I also liked "Drifting", "Answer" and "Time". I didn´t care too much for the rest. She has great songs, the only problem with the album is that it is one ...
