Advantages: Hilarious in places, top quality nostalgia Disadvantages: Seriously sacrilegious in other places
...more fun instalment in the Nativity In Black series, where bands who are mostly from the Ozzfest line-up get together to praise Sabbath by having a bit of a kareoke session in the studios. Sometimes the covers are quite good, sometimes they are severely dodgy, sometimes they are amusingly bad, and sometimes they are just plain sacrilegious. Put this together and you get a package to amuse the casual Black Sabbath fan for an hour, or to get the average ... ...7. Primus and Ozzy- Nativity In Black- Primus and Ozzy? Oh dear. Unfortunately this has no vocals from everyones favourite redneck-on-speed Les Claypool. In fact this basically sounds like Ozzy playing a more upbeat version of the song with a studio band, except for one factor. Les is nuts. The whole recording is made into one big twangy bass solo, to the extent that you can’t even concentrate on Ozzy himself. Still rocks, even through the ...
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 ...
Advantages: A few stand out tracks Disadvantages: The majority is mediocre & forgettable
...Tracks *** 1) 3 Words 2) Parachute 3) Heaven 4) Fight For This Love 5) Rain On Me 6) Make Me Cry 7) Happy Hour 8) Stand Up 9) Don't Talk About This Love 10) Boy Like You 11) Heartbreaker The album starts off with the first of four tracks that feature Black Eyed Peas front man Will I Am. 3 Words is one of the more heartfelt songs on the album and Cheryl shines through over her collaborator. Despite Cheryl's vocals sounding surprisingly fresh on the ... ...during the chorus and unlike 3 Words the two seem able to strike up a good partnership with this record which makes for a very catchy number. Then comes yet another Will I Am collaboration with Boy Like You, with a heavy beat and Cheryl's subtle vocals that blend in well with the beat this is one of the more R&B focused songs on the album and is all the better for it. If you've heard Cheryl talk about this album she always expresses how R&B centred ...
