Re-Woven Tapestry

Advantages: Songs never grow old, surprisingly good versions by interesting artists
Disadvantages: You may not like all the artists on the album, but that shouldn't stop you

Little can be added to the praise that has always been heaped on Carole King's album "Tapestry". But a group of artists have found a better way than words to show their admiration and love for this practically perfect collection of songs. With a plethora of artists from Celine Dion to Manhattan Transfer to Rod Stewart, this Tribute will appeal to practically everyone. Granted, not all the artists' will suit the taste of true lovers of the original ...
...there is a lot to recommend this album. My personal favorite track on this album is Manhattan Transfer's version of "Smackwater Jack". This ballad like song, with its slightly country overtones, seems to fit the voices of this group like a glove. They've done nothing particularly special with the song, but still, it seems like they have revitalized it. You might not blame me if my least favorite track was Celine Dion's version of "(You Make Me ...

Conditions (The) - Temper Trap Album

Advantages: excellent group with excellent tunes
Disadvantages: not enough songs on album hahahaha

Heard a song on my local radio station almost every morning going to work and every morning I waited in anticipation for the hosts to announce who sang this song but the name never came. After a little detective work myself I found out the song was from this album, its title being "Sweet Disposition". I found the album in my local supermarket at an excellent price of £5.99 another bonus and all I can say is this album is totally infectious. I suggest ...

The Blue South - A Beautiful and Colourful Effort

Advantages: A lyrical and melodical masterpiece with hidden depth
Disadvantages: Dark and seedy themes may not suit all tastes

...a lot worse. Blue is The Colour was released in 1996 and is the bands fifth studio album. It was received as both a commercial and critical success, hitting No.1 in the UK album charts in November 1996. It spawned four singles – the most successful of which were “Rotterdam” (No.5) and “Don’t Marry Her” (No.8). The lyrics of the latter were altered for mass market airplay (“f*ck me” changed to “have me” and “sweaty b*ll*cks” bizarrely became “Sandra ...
...VERDICT Blue is the Colour is my favourite Beautiful South album and its easy to understand why it was such a success despite its dark (and arguably depressing) content. However, the band skilfully lighten the mood whilst never betraying the impact of their song writing. Consistently good, with nothing you could describe as a truly duff track, if you buy one album from the band (other than “Carry on Up the Charts” released in 1994 - their best ...

Dark Horse - Nickelback

Advantages: good
Disadvantages: n/a

...6th and most recent album, Dark Horse has just been released, and I after having it on pre-order for months, have had it delivered to my door. Here is my review: Track 1- Something In Your Mouth From listening to this song, there is one thing that hit me first; this will never become one of their hit tracks. It sounds a lot like something I would usually enjoy, but for the opening for the album, I was expecting something either to rock my socks off ...
...for days. I didn't get either of these however, it is a good song, there is no taking anything away from the track, but it's just not got the special stamp that Nickelback's usual songs have. This is one of the tracks that I listened to on Youtube, to decide whether to buy the album or not, and I saw that a lot of people were moaning about the almost sexual lyrics on the song, if you don't want these kind of lyrics, don't listen to Nickelback, there ...
