Jimmy Eat World - fantastic band, fantastic CD

Advantages: a great CD, nice range of songs with different tempos
Disadvantages: nothing, I love it

Firstly I have to say, I'm a huge Jimmy Eat Worl fan. I absolutely love them, but unfortunately have never had the chance to see them live, such a bummer!! This is a fantastic CD and has a real range of songs which will suit every mood!! The songs are: 1. Futures 2. Just Tonight... 3. Work 4. Kill 5. The World You Love 6. Pain 7. Drugs or Me 8. Polaris 9. Nothingwrong 10. Night Drive 11. 23 12. Shame (Bonus Track) 13. When I Want (Bonus ...
...and consists of 4 members: singer/guitarist, drummer, guitarist, bassist. Jimmy Eat World started work on this record in 2004 after their lengthly Bleed American tour. Their fifth album was realeased later that year, with the lead single 'Pain' (my personal favourite on the CD) finding immediate success on the radio. The majority of the record tends to lean more towards pop/rock ballads in comparison to their more upbeat earlier work, however a few ...

Advantages: TBA

This review is being rewritten at the moment, and will reappear when I'm happy with it. I'm currently rewriting all of my old reviews to make them better and more in line with 'proper' reviews like you see on the liks of Pitchfork or Stylus, and naturally that's going to take a bit of work. Sorry for being massively inconvinient, but that's just how I roll, folks! I'll try to rewrite this review as quickly as possible, but for the moment I've written ...

Last Shadow Puppets - Age of the Understatement

Advantages: Another portion of music from Alex Turner
Disadvantages: Doesn't have that 'catchyness' that the Arctic Monkeys has...

The Age Of The Understatement is the debut album from The Last Shadow Puppets; a side project of Alex Turner of The Arctic Monkeys and Miles Kane of The Rascals...one you may well have heard of, but one you may not have!! The Age of the Understatement was released in the UK on 21 April 2008, going straight to number one in the UK Albums Chart...the hype and success surrounding it was for the most part due to Turner's role in the band. The likes ...
...in the studio. The Age of the Understatement consists of 12 tracks written by the two of them...on the surface you'd assume it would just sound like the Arctic Monkey's 'third album' due to Turner's rather unique sound and lyrically prowess. But to isolate it from anything the Arctic Monkeys had done previously, they brought in the London Metropolitan Orchestra for the recording to add a new style to the music. An interesting twist on a modern classic ...

An End Has A Start - Editors

Advantages: Lyrically strong and musically very promising.
Disadvantages: It just isnt as great as their first album.Songs start firey but fizzle out too soon.

With their brilliant debut album The Back Room, it was clear that Editor's had the musical gravitas to craft another equelly compelling second album. But in my opinion, they didn't. For those of you that haven't heard Editor's then their sound is something like Interpol (vocally) and are definitely neo-post-punk musically. Guitars surge at the beginning of most songs aiming for something breathtakingly brilliant...trouble is that they never quite ...
...slump after the initial promise they offer. The lyrics are still thought provoking and moody, delivered perfectly by the direct and edgy vocals and the music is definitely better than most bands of a similar genre but for me it just doesn't quite cut the mustard. Especially when I am certain that this band could do so much better. But having said that, I am uncertain that most fans will agree with that. I think most people will be ok with this album, ...
