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 ... kevduts 30.08.2006 · Read full review Ciao members have rated this review on average: very helpful Review of Holy Bible, The (10th Anniversary Edition/Remastered/Parental Advisory/+DVD) [Digipak] [PA] - Manic Street Preachers	Originality Lyrics Quality and consistency...

A Re-Release of a Modern Classic! Advantages: Bonus DVD and loads of extra features! Disadvantages: None! Everything Must Go was an album that gained the Manic Street Preachers a whole new generation of fans, after the much-mourned departure of guitarist Richey Edwards. With more accessible songs than their previous releases, but still possessing the edge that made the Manics heroes to so many fans in the first place - the ability to challenge conventions with their lyrics whilst still making catchy tunes - this album every bit deserves to be re-released. ... ...on the "main" disc, as there are plenty of reviews of the original release for that, however the extras on this edition are worth the cover price and more. Alongside live tracks and demos of both released and un-released material, are some of the b-sides most loved amongst fans, in particular the spectacular Stealth Sonic Orchestra remix of A Design For Life. Other highlights include Horses Under Starlight - a beautiful instrumental, the controversial ... vixel 18.01.2007 · Read full review Ciao members have rated this review on average: somewhat helpful Review of Everything Must Go (10th Anniversary Deluxe Edition/+DVD) [Digipak] [PA] [Remastered] - Manic Street Preachers	Originality Lyrics Quality and consistency...

Pop-Stars? More like Flop-Stars! Advantages: None Disadvantages: Watered Down, Teenage, Stupid I'm not giving Metro Station a bad review just because Trace Cyrus is Miley Cyrus's brother. The reason I am giving them a bad review is because the album they produced is just awful. It shouldn't even be called music. It is watered-down pop punk that doesn't really deserve much recognition. The lyrics are unimaginative and and are just cheesy to the point of being unbearably annoying. Unfortunatly, songs such as "Shake It" have wormed their way ... bellatrix_lestrange 07.11.2009 · Read full review Review of Metro Station - Metro Station	Originality Lyrics Quality and consistency...

Arkansas rockers produce immense album Advantages: Original, Tuneful, Powerful Disadvantages: Depressing Evanescence are one of the bands in an obscure section of rock that action get media attention. This is unusual. The thing that definitely stood out to me on the album was Amy Lee's (vocalist) ability to use classic instruments to boost the originality. I will review this album, track-by-track. Going Under This song is one of the heavier tracks of the album. The tempo of this track is generally slow but it is still good. Lee's vocals in this ... ...at the same time. Bring me to Life This song is the one that launched Evanescence into the limelight. It was a #1 in Britain for four weeks which surprised a lot of people because of their genre. This chart postition was definitely well deserved as it is a powerful song. Lee's vocals are assisted by Paul Mccoy as an extra in the chorus. Everybody's Fool This song has a more mainstream feel to it than other songs on this album.
