Review of 101 [SACD] - Depeche Mode

The greatest album of the 20th century

Advantages: All the benefits of the quadrophonic recording without the crackle
Disadvantages: the vinal still sounds warmer

What can I add after that title? I have my original pressing first release vinal album which still sounds superb although getting a quadrophonic amp that still works is a bitch! This SACD presentation brings back much of the original feel and nearly the depth of the original which the cd lacked particuarily if used via naff kit. This is Floyd at their peak in my humble opinion and one of the defining albums of the twentieth century. If you don't ...
...th White Album this is the must buy album of all time. Ok you need a sacd player and a decent 5.1 amp to appreciate this album at its best having said that if you have the kit sit back and enjoy. It's hard to believe this album was recorded so long ago considering the multi level nature of the tracks that are so far ahead of their time. ...

Review of Dark Side Of The Moon (30th Anniversary Edition) [Hybrid SACD] - Pink Floyd

The End Of One Of Music's Greatest Trilogies

Advantages: One of Dylan's Best Albums And One Of The Best Of All Time
Disadvantages: None

Following on from the stellar Bringing It All Back home and Highway 61 Revisited comes this double LP, now squashed into one CD, which is probably Dylan's masterpiece of the sixties. The album builds on the blues themes of the previous album and moves into more experimental and unknown territory. This for me is one of the greatest albums ever made and many agree with me, the album itself placed 9th on the 500 best albums of all time by Rolling Stone ...
...with delays and an inability to tie tracks down, with Dylan initially recording with the Band in New York before taking on session musicians in Nashville for the final recording, which yielded the bulk of the album. The main context and inspiration from the album seems to be that of relationships, likely to be that of his with Sara Lownds after their marriage previously. But relationships and the hardships prevalent within them have always been big ...

Review of Blonde On Blonde - Bob Dylan

If only.......

Advantages: an easy cd to listen to anywhere
Disadvantages: none except why arent they better known

...on repeat as I drive away from my previous job sorry to anyone on the M25 who may have heard my singing along to it! Unusually for a modern band their lyrics don't feature any swearing which is a refreshing change, the lyrics are all clear and discernable also, none of the shouty screamy 'singing' that is also very popular these days. If you listen to the lyrics in any of the songs then you will find that all make sense and will possibly induce ...
...favourite track on the album is Here Without You, although that is mostly due to it being quite lyrically relevant to the relationship I had with my new boyfriend, and now that track has become relevent again - I won't quote the lyrics as so many have already - suffice to say its a song about a couple who for whatever reason are not able to see each other and want to. Other stand out tracks are the title track Ticket to heaven, and a track from ...

Review of Away From The Sun - 3 Doors Down

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 ...
