Something special

Advantages: Simply brilliant rock/pop crossover
Disadvantages: Lyrically too adventurous for some

...know that by the time Nevermind was released and launched them to worldwide fame, they had been touring for years and had built up a fantastic reputation on the Seattle scene as the kings of grunge music. Nevermind is Nirvana's second album and it was really kicked off by the success of the single 'Smells like Teen Spirit', this song caught the attention of a generation with the high school video where the punks invade and it ends in a warped mess ...
...for American music and really gave soft rock a bit of a kicking. Made up of lead singer Kurt Cobain, bassist Krist Novoselic and drummer Dave Grohl, this album was the culmination of years of soul searching for the pizies loving Cobain. Produced by Butch Vig subsequently of Garbage fame, the album worked partly because of the exceptional music and words, but also because Cobain's style of quiet reflection followed by hellish rock brought a real contrast ...

...powerful message. 5/5 Track 3: Some hearts: "some hearts just get lucky sometimes" , my favourite line of the song. a very uplifting song 4/5 Track 4: Jesus, take the wheel: a moving song which describes a car crash with the baby in the backseat but at the same time symbolising how people turn to Christ when they are in need of a little help 5/5 Track 5: The night before (life goes on): a nice ballad, in true carrie style 3/5 Track 6: Lessons learned: ...
...right in life if you did not make mistakes and didn't go through the experiences you have 3/5 Track 7: Before he cheats: a bitter sounding ex-girlfriend, describing how she's going to get him back for cheating, so he'll know not to do it again! 4/5 Track 8: Starts with goodbye: This one is very moving, singing of how you have to say goodbye to loved ones and ending relationships to move on with your life 5/5 Track 9: I just can't live a lie: 3/5 ...

Review of Some Hearts - Carrie Underwood

Conditions (The) - Temper Trap Album

Advantages: excellent group with excellent tunes
Disadvantages: not enough songs on album hahahaha

Heard a song on my local radio station almost every morning going to work and every morning I waited in anticipation for the hosts to announce who sang this song but the name never came. After a little detective work myself I found out the song was from this album, its title being "Sweet Disposition". I found the album in my local supermarket at an excellent price of £5.99 another bonus and all I can say is this album is totally infectious. I suggest ...

The Blue South - A Beautiful and Colourful Effort

Advantages: A lyrical and melodical masterpiece with hidden depth
Disadvantages: Dark and seedy themes may not suit all tastes

...a lot worse. Blue is The Colour was released in 1996 and is the bands fifth studio album. It was received as both a commercial and critical success, hitting No.1 in the UK album charts in November 1996. It spawned four singles – the most successful of which were “Rotterdam” (No.5) and “Don’t Marry Her” (No.8). The lyrics of the latter were altered for mass market airplay (“f*ck me” changed to “have me” and “sweaty b*ll*cks” bizarrely became “Sandra ...
...VERDICT Blue is the Colour is my favourite Beautiful South album and its easy to understand why it was such a success despite its dark (and arguably depressing) content. However, the band skilfully lighten the mood whilst never betraying the impact of their song writing. Consistently good, with nothing you could describe as a truly duff track, if you buy one album from the band (other than “Carry on Up the Charts” released in 1994 - their best ...
