Has The Fame Gone To Her Head?

Advantages: Two or three good tracks, a fantastic collaboration with Beyonce
Disadvantages: A lot of disappointing filler tracks

...charts; her debut album The Fame went platinum and with the two number ones (Poker Face and Just Dance) it would seem that her unique brand of pop music infused with electro dance music was here to stay. With her insanely catchy music to her eccentric sense of style and equally eccentric personality it’s been impossible to ignore Lady Gaga this past year and now she’s back her new 8 track album The Fame Monster but is it any good? Track Listing ...
...a few ballads on The Fame so I’m glad that she’s realised her niche with this album and kept the ballads down to a bare minimum. After the brilliant start to the album it seems to go downhill with Alejandro in which she starts the song speaking to her supposed lover ‘Alejandro’ the song is a mid-tempo dance number but I feel that this is a disappointment as it’s more annoying that catchy whereas her previous songs were just annoyingly catchy! The ...

Review of Fame Monster, The - Lady GaGa

Best Band Ever

Advantages: Classics especially everyones changing and somewhere only we know
Disadvantages: None

Hopes and Fears is the debut album by English rock band Keane and was released on 10 May 2004 in the United Kingdom. It topped the UK album charts upon release, was the best selling British album of 2004, and has since gone eight times platinum. It returned to the top of the charts after winning a BRIT Award for Best Album in February 2005. With almost six million copies sold, it has been ranked the 16th biggest-selling album of the millennium so ...
...ability to write some of the most thought provoking songs ever. There songs have been ever present throughout my life and have got me through some tough times. I have seen them live in concert and they are just as fantastic. Somewhere only we know and everybodys changing are two of the best songs ever written. A timeless classic that I can listen to again and again. Bedshaped is such a beautiful song and it was played at my best friends funeral ...

Review of Hopes And Fears - Keane

Echoes of greatness

Advantages: Some super tracks, nice variety of music, great vocals throughout
Disadvantages: A couple of average songs

Leona Lewis' second album has been 2 years in the making, and I've very much been looking forward to the release of this. She came back onto the scene a couple of months ago with the debut single from her new album, Happy, and has been performing it on pretty much all the TV shows she can get onto. Finally, I managed to download it on its release for a bargain price on Tesco Entertainment, and sat there listening to it for the next few hours trying ...
...copy in my car so that I could listen to it when I was driving round, and now after a good few weeks of listening, I'm ready to review and give what I hope is a rounded and full opinion of Leona Lewis' fantastic second album, Echo. The album begins with Leona's first single from it, Happy. This is a song that people are calling a poor man's "Bleeding Love", her debut song from Spirit. I can see why people think there are similarities, but I really ...

Review of Echo - Leona Lewis

Planet waves welcome to the band and Dylan.

Advantages: The Band are great on this CD.
Disadvantages: One song repeated-poorly.

Basically a good CD, only nine songs, one is repeated only faster. On a night like this. Dylan’s glad some bird comes to see him and have some coffee and a chat which they do. Tough mama. The band plays well, Dylan sings too. Not sure what about. Hazel. A beautiful love song about…….Hazel. Something there is about you. Hazel’s not mentioned here, but night as well be. Forever young. Rod Stuart did something along the same lines-My god bless ...

Review of Planet Waves - Bob Dylan

Tittle says it all the Greatest hits.

Advantages: Dylan fans know all the songs.
Disadvantages: Two song I'm not keane on.

...it says on the can, Greatest hits, all twelve are classics. We all know Blowin’ in the wind. Simple but clever, asking questions when there’s no answer. It ain’t me babe. Dylan tells some bird he doesn’t want her for various reasons. The times they are a changin’. This is a great song about things that change throughout our lives very general and again very clever. Mr Tambourne man. Ask for a request and he’ll play it. She belongs to me. A love ...
...A simple song about lost love. Subterranean homesick blues. Not sure about this at all. One of us must know. Too true sooner or later. Great lyrics and music. Like a rolling stone. The Rolling stones covered this. Just like a woman. Great Dylan classic, I love this and so will anyone else. Rainy day woman. An upbeat song, fast lyrics. I want you. Not a slow love song, a fast one. If you enjoy early Dylan, you’ll love this. ...
