25 years of reinvention - I'm mad on her

Advantages: A thorough overview of Madonna's musical career
Disadvantages: A couple of songs should have been replaced

...couple spends together. 18. Celebration - 2009 - charted #3 The compilation ends with Madonna's most recent chart success, which again does not ring any bells with yours truly. A dance song inviting the listener to come and join a party, it is very catchy, and proves that Madonna still has the ability to write, produce and perform relevant, good music. Despite my overall positive review of the disc, I do have my criticism. The songs are not all ...
...were hand-selected by Madonna herself and a group of fans. It appears to me that they have been picked by Louis Walsh, with his blinkered, ill-informed opinion of what the public want to see and hear. 'American Life' and 'True Blue', both of which were Number 1 singles, are notable omissions. However, if one wants a snapshot of Madonna's musical career, then this is a definite purchase. ...

I'm hung up on this CD!

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 ...

The Next Neil Young Album To Buy After (The) Harvest

Advantages: Great Songs Throughout, That Stand Together As A Great Cohesive Piece Of Work
Disadvantages: Not Quite As Accessible As Harvest

After The Gold Rush was the first Neil Young album released after his foray with Cosby, Stills, Nash and Young, enabling him to be shot into the limelight and the album to become of greater significance and prominence in the public eye. The album combined many of the elements of his CSNY work with some of his earlier pieces with Buffalo Springfield, with Crazy Horse backing Neil Young on many of the album’s songs. This mixture of harder, grittier ...

Neil Young Produces A Masterpiece Before The Harvest Comes In

Advantages: Great Tracks Throughout With Some of The Best Lyrics Around
Disadvantages: There's A World Slackens The Pace A Bit

...rock magazines around, gave for Harvest by Neil Young seems to me more self-indulgence than criticism. The rock critic who rated this review panned this album on far too many levels, when it is now, rightly, seen as a brilliant piece of rock history and now sitting as No.78 on the Rolling Stone Magazine 500 Greatest Albums, retribution if there was any. The album itself though was Neil Young’s fourth solo release, coming after his highly regarded ...

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 ...
