Best New British Band for Years

Advantages: Original and easy to listen to.
Disadvantages: Might find the songs a bit same-ish.

Where to start with this album? Arctic Monkeys absolutely exploded onto the Indie scene with their refreshingly different style. This album made them suppermassive and it is essential for any collection. Even Noel Gallagher admits they have trangressed into part of youth culture! This album combines Alex Turner's ingenious lyrics with some awesome riffs. The song 'Fake Tales of San Francisco' is a good example of this, as it utilises a musically ...
...is their debut single 'I Bet You Look Good On The Dancefloor', a song which has just about made it to cult classic status. This fast paced tune is a firm fans favourite and is what the Monkey's are all about. I would recommend this album to anybody into Indie Rock'n'Roll music, or anyone looking for something that bit different. Oh, and also for anyone that plays guitar, playing along with this album is thoroughly satisfying! ...

Review of Whatever People Say I Am That's What I'm Not [Digipak] - Arctic Monkeys

Jack Johnson and Friends

Advantages: Has his great hit upside down.
Disadvantages: very childlike rythms and lyrics, not his usual acoustic relaxing music.

At first I wasn't really a big jack johnson fan, all of my mates were listening to him day in day out. After hearing it alot I started to enjoy it more and more. Now I am quite a big fan of his. However, when I bought this CD in the shop I thought bargain, quite cheap with his new hit song ''upside down''. When I got home and played it, that was the only song I could bring my ears to listening too. I was very disappointed with the songs and lyrics. ...
...nursery or at home because it makes you 3-5 year old sing along. Its not quite the same as all of his other albums, have a listen to some of his songs on you tube eg. 3 R's, lullaby, we're going to be friends, jungle gym and with my own tw hands before you buy this CD. ...

Review of Curious George (Original Soundtrack) [Digipak] - Jack Johnson

Unleash your Air guitar!!!

Advantages: Fantastic!!!!
Disadvantages: None

I was given this album for Christmas about 4 years ago, and at the time I only knew about two songs from guns n roses. But When i first played this album, I realised I knew most of the tracks. It has some great hits on it such as 'welcome to the jungle,' 'Sweet child o mine,' 'Novemeber rain,' 'Knockin on heavens door,' 'Paradise city,' 'Live and let die,' and 'Sympathy for the Devil.' All these songs will have you up and dancing, and even on the ...

Review of Greatest Hits [Digipak] [PA] - Guns N' Roses

Mad, compulsive paranoid but basically he's happy

Advantages: It might just be genius.
Disadvantages: It's a Neil Diamond album.

...when I'm thinking about buying 12 Songs and looking for a sneak online preview what's the first thing that comes up on Google? An empty DooYou category for 12 songs and an invitation to users to write a review. It dangled there like a big juicy carrot. They're taunting me, I thought, daring me to buy 12 Songs and write ANOTHER Neil Diamond review. I'm afraid, in a roundabout way, even though there's a fine review there - and here - now, it's worked. ...
...do justice to something like 12 Songs because you see unlike the others, which I merely like, this album MEANS something to me. So I'd expect a connection from say, Pink Floyd or the Beatles but really not from Mr Spangly. Scary huh? Hmm... We'll come back to that one later. I have a theory about creativity. It's this. If you want somebody to think creatively you need to give them strict parameters in which to do it. The tighter you squeeze, the ...

Review of 12 Songs [Digipak] - Neil Diamond

The Best of Bryan Adams

Advantages: Contains 15 great tracks
Disadvantages: None

'The Best of Me' by Bryan Adams I purchased my Bryan Adams The Best of Me album about 8 months ago. This album contains great songs. The Tracks 1. The Best Of Me 'When you want it, when you need it, you'll always get the best of me.' This opening track is nice with its great melody, good rendition of acoustic guitar and Bryan's husky voice. 2. Can't Stop This Thing We Started 'I aint superman and I can't fly, but if you wanna ...
...be there. Those were the best days of my life.' I really love this song. This is the kind that makes me turn the volume of my sound system to the maximum level. It has impressive guitar works for the intro and gets even more impressive when the drums start banging. 5. Let's Make It A Night To Remember 'I love the way you look tonight, with your hair hangin' down on your shoulders.' This is a very romantic song. It has a quite slow tempo ...
