Review of Seven And The Ragged Tiger (Limited Edition) [Remastered] - Duran Duran

Duran Duran Astronaut

Advantages: Excellent price for CD and DVD package
Disadvantages: DVD could have lasted a bit longer

...you about this one. Astronaut is the bands newest release from last year that have now had a few hits from. You may remember that Reach up for the Sunrise made it to the top ten with a good beat and everybody waving their arms into the sky "Reach up for the sunrise". Some of the other hits include "taste the Summer" which recently a Supermarket chain aquired as it was a catchy tune to list their products to ! This album proves that Duran Duran ...
...the early 80's. If you do not remember their music that well from the 80's it was roughly the same time that Spandau Ballet were around and in some ways the songs were slightly similar but Duran Duran had a faster pace to them, also Soft Cell started out on their career with some of the same beat. Recently you can compare Duran Durans work to the sound of "Blur" as the group have got a slightly different pace to them in the 2000's and more of a ...

Review of Astronaut (+DVD/Limited Edition) - Duran Duran

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 ...

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. The intro ...
