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

Dancing On The Valentine

Advantages: Duran duran at their best
Disadvantages: None

...Nick Rhodes - keyboards Seven and the Ragged Tiger was released in 1983, the third album form the band, and the last one to feature the original line up with Andy Taylor on lead guitar. Duran Duran carried on over the years that followed , with drummer Roger Taylor also leaving the band. A few years ago the original five members got back together and released an album, followed by a successful tour. However, Andy Taylor has since left the band again. ...
...to represent the band. "The Seven is for us - the five band members and two managers - and 'The Ragged Tiger' is success. Seven people running after success. It's ambition. It's what it's about." The album contains nine tracks, three of which were released as singles. By this time the band were also MTV superstars thanks to their previous videos shot in Antigua and Sri Lanka for singles from the 'Rio' album. Their first two albums were both completely ...

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

GaGa still brings the Excitement!

Advantages: 8 Great different sounding tracks
Disadvantages: Always leaves you wanting more & then you have to wait for her next masterpiece album.

...her earlier stuff on The Fame album. It reminds me of a summer track, listening to it whilst just chilling on the beach. It's not as catchy as the other songs but it does bring something different to this album. 8) Teeth - To be honest when i first listened to this song i thought 'What the Hell is she doing?!?' Its hard to describe this song. It reminds me of a song that would be performed in a cabaret bar and it really is an old-fashioned number. ...
...Dangerous album. He uses old school beats and strange sounding vocals to create a unique song for Lady GaGa. After a few listens to this song i found myself clicking my fingers and tapping my feet to the beat. I'm looking forward to seeing her perform this live when i go see her in concert in 2010. The album booklet is a simple black 14 page booklet which includes the lyrics to all the songs. There is also 3 pictures of Lady Gaga in her typical ...

Review of Fame Monster, The - Lady GaGa

Why it may not be Pulp, Jarvis maintains his solid solo catalogue

Advantages: Excellent, witty lyrics with a decent range of style. Jarvis is just too cool..
Disadvantages: No real 'big hitter' of a track that you'd find on a Pulp album if your a more general listener

...of the 90's. Further Complications is Jarvis' attempt towards a more indie Brit rock album which still oozes the class of a brilliant frontman. The title track is certainly a great opener, catchy and witty which pretty much sums up the rest of the Album. 'Angela' is one of those songs that will get in your head until people end up asking you why the hell you keep saying Angela in a funny accent and who the hell she is! other examples of this raspy ...
...tracks; not the sort that will come on your iPod shuffle and you'll skip. There are more soleful elements to the album too; Discosong and Hold Still, Hold Still especially as one of those typical 'I can barely hear him but it sounds so good' Cocker songs. It's probably become obvious that I mention nearly every song as 'Solid' but this is definately where this album comes in and it does not really contain a big chart hitting song. Then again, who ...

Review of Further Complications [PA] - Jarvis Cocker

Excellent effort

Advantages: Not 1 bad track
Disadvantages: More tracks would make it more amazing

My boyfriend bought me this after 'Ignorance' had just been released, so I will admit I was expecting an album full of rocky songs almost screamed out. I was very wrong! A diverse range of slow and thought provoking sounds mixed with a good dose of rock. Favourite tracks include the sublime 'Ignorance', 'The Only Exception' and the fabulous 'Decode' taken hauntingly from the hit film 'Twilight'. I never got to hear theier earlier stuff, but if ...
