SSSC, As You Can See

Advantages: Consistent
Disadvantages: Little variation

Street Sweeper Social Club released their debut, self-entitled album in 2009 as the Hip Hop MC Boots Riley (of The Coup) and Rage Against The Machine’s guitarist Tom Morello joined up together to make the group (who would be joined by other additional extras for percussion and such) to make the Rap Rock outfit you find here. 1. “Fight! Smash! Win!” The album begins with a powerful effort to get things underway and introduce the sound which they have ...
...that I enjoyed what I found with this as you see a powerful tune where they combine what they have to offer with a general Rap track which features some grungy guitaring and suitable drumming from Stanton Moore. **Four Stars** 2. “100 Little Curses” This one came as their debut single and although it didn’t really have any sort of impact, I felt that it really did its job at expressing just who they were and how they differ from others in the game ...

Review of Street Sweeper Social Club - Street Sweeper Social Club

* It's Over *

Advantages: Voices ,
Disadvantages: Prefered their old songs!

...being 'Forever Is Over'. Forever Is Over is the sixth single from The Saturdays and taken off their second and latest album Wordshaker. The single was released in the United Kingdom on 5th October 2009 and has earned the band a number two in the charts. Forever Is Over takes the band into a new direction as this a completely different sound to what they have been used to. At first , I thought it reminded me of another song , but then after I realised ...
..., to which I later discovered that this song was in fact actually written for Kelly although it was then given to The Saturdays. What makes it sound so similar to Kelly's sound is the fact that it has quite a 'rocky' sound to it as well some electronic vocals , which I myself aren't that keen on. There are parts of this song which I quite like , especially the chorus , but the rest of it , I just find plain annoying. The girls can sing although ...

Review of Forever Is Over (Single) - The Saturdays

"It's not me it's you" excellent 2nd album

Advantages: Lyrics, tempo
Disadvantages: none

...introduction of "it's not me it's you" you can see how much she has matured in the last cuple of years and i can honsetly say she is definitely becoming one of my favourite artists. I love every song on the album specifcly "Him" and "Everyone's at it". I love the vibrancy and excitement she gives her songs while also managing to write lyrics that have a true and important meaning...which in my opinion adds an amazing extra quality to her music and ...

Review of It's Not Me It's You - Lily Allen

Excellent set of songs once again!

Advantages: Great set of tracks that are all originals and remastered to sound as good as ever
Disadvantages: All the same tracks as her previous 2 greatest hits albums

I am a huge Madonna fan but im going to try and make this review as unbiased as possible! Shes had sell out tours, adopted children, donated to charity, and now... shes made her 3rd greatest hits album! When i heard that Madonna was to release another greatest hits album, I was quite sure it was going to be a mix of pretty much the same tracks as her last 2 greatest hits albums, plus a few newer tracks and I was right. The immaculate collection ...
...of tracks. Despite of this, I still think the track choices are excellent, from her 80's tracks like holiday and material girl, to her newest songs like 4 minutes and hung up, you name her big tracks, and they are on this album. All the tracks on the album have been digitally remastered, and you can definately tell, they sound great and are all the original songs (immaculate collection doesnt include all originals) So! I would definately recommend ...

Review of Celebration (Greatest Hits) [Remastered] - Madonna

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 ...
