Has Been - William Shatner - Perfect

Advantages: moving, insightful and beautiful songs. It's Captain Kirk
Disadvantages: Not everyone's up of tea

...dodgy wigs and hammy acting has finally reached that age where he no longer takes himself quite so seriously and this album shows. An epic work that is quite unlike anything else you're ever likely to hear unless you have a stash of very strange beat-poet albums I've not seen before. Shatner is no stranger to releasing albums and has been responsible for a few over the years, mostly pretty dire, it has to be said - badly read Shakespear through ...
...one of a kind and has much to offer. Produced by Ben Folds of the Ben Folds Five and featuring a dizzying array of other talent such as Joe Jackson, Adrian Belew, Henry Rollins and more, Has Been is a collection of thoughtful, inspiring and downright strange, often self-deprecating songs that firmly lay to rest the idea of Shatner being a bit stuck up his own fundement. I'm just sad he hasn't released anything since. Tracks A fairly sensible start ...

...through that most of the songs stand up very well. A good song is a good song whatever style it is played in, Listen to any worship song by the Insyderz and you will see what I mean. Track listing; 1 Introduction 2 Parisian Pierrot -Texas (Good interpritation) 3 I've been to a marvelous party-The Divine Comedy(I couldn't think of a more appropriate group to cover this humorous song) 4 A Room with a View-Paul McCartney (Classic song-Classic artist) ...

Distinctly, Decidedly, Average… 3 Words

Advantages: A few stand out tracks
Disadvantages: The majority is mediocre & forgettable

...Tracks *** 1) 3 Words 2) Parachute 3) Heaven 4) Fight For This Love 5) Rain On Me 6) Make Me Cry 7) Happy Hour 8) Stand Up 9) Don't Talk About This Love 10) Boy Like You 11) Heartbreaker The album starts off with the first of four tracks that feature Black Eyed Peas front man Will I Am. 3 Words is one of the more heartfelt songs on the album and Cheryl shines through over her collaborator. Despite Cheryl's vocals sounding surprisingly fresh on the ...
...during the chorus and unlike 3 Words the two seem able to strike up a good partnership with this record which makes for a very catchy number. Then comes yet another Will I Am collaboration with Boy Like You, with a heavy beat and Cheryl's subtle vocals that blend in well with the beat this is one of the more R&B focused songs on the album and is all the better for it. If you've heard Cheryl talk about this album she always expresses how R&B centred ...
