Sing For Very Important People - Free Design (The)

Advantages: Stacks of hits
Disadvantages: Songs are in random order, lots of songs missed out

...Janet's first two albums didn't do very well but then she released "Control" and the rest is history, as they say. Many of her hit singles since then are on "Design of a Decade". This album was released in 1995 and I actually borrowed it from the library! Track 1 is "Runaway". This was a new song from this album and it had an elaborate video but it's quite a boring song, despite being about Janet's travels around the world, and I can't actually understand what Janet is singing a lot of the time. It's a bad start to this album. Track 2 is "What Have You Done For Me Lately?" which is a fine slice of 1980s dance taken from "Control". Janet is in demanding mode here, wanting to know why her man isn't putting as much effort into their relationship as he used to. "You seem to think you're God's gift to this earth.." Track 3...

...The Dresden Dolls are a great band, very unique and quite funny at times! Their song 'Sex Changes' is quite amusing, I love singing it and seeing how people give me weird looks! I love their style of music as it is unlike any other bands I have heard. The lyrics are very original and the quality of this CD is very high. It is a great value for money and a must listen. The album art is quite good, with interesting pictures. The album cover is a nice design. Quite a lot of people will find that they can relate to some of the things they sing about. Both members of the band are great musicians! Their dress style is also quite unique and makes the band more interesting!... Read review

Disadvantages: one or two weak songs

...day. this could be a possible future single it has everything a single needs. this is a good song because in a way it is like his old sound but there is also something very new about it so he can't go wrong with it. this song tells a story it's about Craig facing a lot of criticism about how he wouldn't last and wouldn't do well but he sings about how he's on his second album and doing well. He is basically saying if you don't like him why watch or listen to him but also he is confused what to give the people because no matter what he does they always have something to say. Overall a great introduction to a second album. (5:59) 2. WHAT?S YOUR FLAVA? -The famous first single that fans waited ages to finally hear. This song got a lot of attention because of how different the sound was but also because of the strange theme of comparing woman... Read review
